Eager to study your OP and finally root my phone, been running stock ROM for about 2 weeks.

2 weeks too long. Also I barely skimmed through the OP but I did read elsewhere about a very crucial back up before flashing, is this back up included in your instructions?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Skunk Ape1:
No it isn't because your only rooting (Normally I only make nandroids when I am flashing a rom, kernel or mod. But you can perform a nandroid of your unrooted configuration if you want.

When you boot into recovery for the first time you can choose backup from the menu. Then it will make a nandroid of your stock unrooted configuration. As soon as that's done, you will need to flash team epic root from recovery before you exit recovery. Failing to do so will resort in an unrooted device and you will have to start the complete process over again. When installing the Team Epic Root From Recovery zip you will not have to perform any wipes.

For information about how to perform a backup and flash items in recovery you can look at my

Hi, Im from the philippines and my phone is i747m, can I still used this instructions to root my phone? thanks.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] smelenchuk:
Yes, as this method doesn't change anything related to the software differences between the i747 and the i747m (namely, the modem firmware).
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] bdpyo:
Thanks again man, finally rooted but I did forget to do a back up of my unrooted config :( I just wanted to do that as a saftey so I assume it will be ok if I do a back up before I start flashing away.

super easy to follow, except the part where I opened Odin and my screen wasnt big enough for me to see the start button and I started freaking out..lol :beer:

Fantastic guide. Got my first Android phone over a month ago and had no experience with rooting and roms and such. Rooted within a week since I couldn't stand TouchWiz. This helped me greatly and now I am successfully on CM10 with no problems.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] bdpyo:
Which cm10 ROM are you running? Looking for something pure..
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] zie08:
okay thank you sir. so i can use all the guides for i747 to root, custom rom and kernel? correct me if im wrong. thanks.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Skunk Ape1:
I wouldn't be so quick to jump into a Rom or kernel without doing some research. The radio/modem and kernel may very well be different.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Brandon824:
Thank you so much for this guide. The instructions made the process extremely simple.

That said, I second doing the research. It will save you a lot of potential trouble.

ClockworkMod Recovery

hello have a ? can i install ClockworkMod Recovery after i used this guide to install root ?

Thanks AL
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Skunk Ape1:
No. You must have custom recovery to install the root. Root is installed in recovery not in Odin.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] NinJak101:
what now

ok so now that i used your guide to install root and i did not understand about clockwork what do i do now

how do i get clockwork installed now ? am i screwd ? lol is there a guide u can point me too ?

-----INFO-----The Recovery that you installed is a touch screen recovery. You will not need use the buttons to navigate through the recovery menus.

it says that in your guide so do i have it installed already ? did it come with your zip files i downloaded in your guide ?

thanks al
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Skunk Ape1:
If you followed my guid and flashed recovery.tar.md5 in odin then you already have cwm touch. Press volume up, power and the home button simultaneously. As soon as you see the word samsung release all 3 buttons. You will boot into recovery. It should be clock work mod... Check it out. :good:

let me do anything untill i install clockworks can i have that program install it over yours so i can use the veatures

of that program since i am new to this stuff it looks easy to use or is there another program that can help me easery to

install and manage my roms ?

i hope this all makes since :)

Thanks AL
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Skunk Ape1:
Personally I hate rom manager. I feel that people need to learn how to do this stuff the right way. So when things go wrong, they are better prepared to handle it.

However the recovery you have should be compatible with rom manager.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] NinJak101:
rom

thanks for all your help so if i go ahead in tell rom manager to install clockworks it should work even tho i have it installed already ?

kinda weird that it says it is not installed

When you boot into recovery what does it say cwm version?

v6.0.1.4

Download this and put it on your sdcard and then flash in recovery. This will update your CWM to the newest version. Then Rom Manager shouldn't give you anymore issues.

I'm done with that..... Download this to a folder on your desktop. Open odin and leave all the default checks alone. Put a check in the pda block, click the pda button and browse to the file you downloaded. put your phone in download mode and connect it to your computer with the usb cord. Make sure odin see's your phone by indicating com and any number in the com id block. hit start. When it reboots you can unplug the phone.

It uses Odin and then recovery. The trick is to not let it reboot after the Odin flash, but to go straight to recovery.

general ?'s about this and similar root method?

i'm new to droid and rooting and i am trying to figure out some issues i'm having in my attempts to root my gs3 sgh i747 - att

so far i've been relying on this guy's site -

galaxys3root.com - i would post total url, but it's not allowed

it's a long story so i'll try to summarize -

i followed the method on that site - it worked and the phone was rooted running super user

for some reason some rooted apps worked and some did not - ie titanium backup, nova launcher worked great - but wifi tether didn't

any how i started reading about custom roms and wanted to install cm10

i dl a link i also got from that same site -

unfortunately i made some mistakes in the process by not clearing cache and doing a full factory reset -

i hard bricked my phone

off i went to att and they gave me another (obviously burned that one life line)

so since i had learned from my mistakes i wanted to try and root again -

i went to use the same method but this time things were different

1st after using odin to flash the recovery mode mod, i get into recovery and notice that it won't see the built in sd card - for some reason it will only see an external card

2nd when i try and install the clockwork super user zip (from an external card) i get an error during the install saying

e:signature verification failed

i have most of the obvious things covered like checking usb debugging and things like that -

apologies if i put this in an incorrect area

any help is appreciated
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Skunk Ape1:
Just to clear the air... It wasn't your root that caused your wifi tether not to work. All jellybean phones have issues with wifi tether. You should have investigated that prior to blaming it on your phone or root. there are a few things to do after rooting to get wifi tethering working properly. 1st thing is install SuperSU from the playstore. You must currently be rooted to install it. Then install this hacked version of Wifi Tether. Here it the thread for it and support.

As far as you bricking your phone... Not wiping cache and factory resetting your phone prior to flashing WILL NOT BRICK YOUR PHONE This is ludicrous. Who told you that? The worst it will do is cause a bad flash which may not boot or have issues such as bad battery, freezes or general instability. The most often cause of this phone being bricked is flashing an incompatible rom, mod or modem. Only use Roms built for the AT&T GS3. Do not attempt to flash ANYTHING made for the Sprint, Verizon or International versions of the GS3. I would say that 95 percent of bricks are caused by this.

As for your issue rooting the phone. It is pretty obvious that you are NOT in custom recovery. You are trying to flash the root in stock recovery. Clue #1- You can't see your internal memory. Stock recovery doesn't even offer the choice to to see the device storage. Clue #2 - e:signature verification failed. The reason you still have your stock recovery is you let your phone boot before flashing root (Read Below).

-----WARNING-----

DO NOT LET THE PHONE BOOT AFTER FLASHING RECOVERY IN ODIN.. IF YOUR PHONE BOOTS BEFORE FLASHING TEAM EPIC ROOT FROM RECOVERY IN CWM, CUSTOM RECOVERY WILL NOT STICK AND YOU WILL HAVE TO START OVER..

I do not offer support for other root methods or guides. I will however support this and other guides I have. If you use this guide, I ask that you use the files I provide here. Good luck. If you use this guide and follow the instructions as written you should not have any problems rooting your phone.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] cpolly69:
thank you for the reply and the useful info

i'm slowly discovering that forums like this and at least one other do seem to have much more model specifc info and perspective vs the ad filled sites i got all of my stuff from - the site i've used the most is letting me down with the step by step process

i only assume the fact i didn't clear the cache was the problem b/c as i read the step by step process on this site i notice it's the only thing i missed

i can only guess it was just a bad rom or that it just wan't designed for my exact model

thanks for pointing out i'm only in stock recovery mode - not a modded version and that i missed the step of letting it reboot after flashing with odin

i'm going to try everything presented here in this thread with these files

if it works out i will look for a link for a how to ( on this forum), to install a nice stable official version of cyanogenmod on my phone

edit -

I did follow your guide step by step and it worked flawlessly

thanks again

i am interested in cm now -

i am looking here at the official cm files from their site - hope i can find a nice step by step on this forum to help

:)

one last edit -

found nice stable cm10 made for att phone right from their official site - installed that along with gapps to match -

i spent the next 3 hours playing with all the settings!

everything is awesome

odin?

I can't seem to able to get odin to recognize my phone despite the fact I have the correct drivers. Only if I put my phone into download mode while it's plugged in, THEN open odin with it already connected does it recognize it and show anything in the top left box (0:[COM9]).

If i open odin, put the phone into download mode, then plug it in, it never recognizes it.

Is it okay to flash with odin as I described in the first part?

Sorry for my newbishness
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Skunk Ape1:
I have never had to do it that way but I would think it would, since it recognizes your phone.

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] SpencerSea:
Thanks, one more quick question. In all other tutorials I'm reading they say the status bar in odin should be yellow initially. Mine is blue, the same as it is in the image you uploaded.

Is this just a difference in the verson of odin?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Skunk Ape1:
No problem. Different version of Odin.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] SpencerSea:

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] cpolly69:
so i have more stupid questions if someone can help me out -

can someone point me in the direction of a simple way to undo everything i've done at this point?

i've flashed the clockworkmod recovery mode - installed superuser via this thread's instructions

i also installed cm 10.0 (from the cm site official release) and gapps to match from goo.im (10.2012 version)

once i installed custom rec and super user i made a backup in rec mode ( i actually copied that backup on to my computer's hdd from the internal sd)

i assume i just need to go into rec mode and some how install the stuff from the backup (not sure how this works?)

then i guess i would use odin to re install the stock recovery mode? i don't have a file for the stock recovery mode

plus i probably would need to use triangle away before starting all this process?

again any help is appreciated

Does This Root Wipe Settings and Data?

Does this root technique erase my current apps, settings, pictures/videos I've taken, SMS threads, etc..?

I've never rooted and I can't seem to find a definitive answer to the above question. I'm sure the answer is an obvious yes/no to most of you because it seldom gets discussed. I'm a bit overwhelmed with all the root methods.instructions out there. This site seems like it's got the best reputation, and this thread is as close as I've gotten to what I need.

My goal is just to gain root access to install a few apps that require it (e.g., the code to disable exchange account pin code lock).

Did this root method put de-odexed jelly bean on my phone? I'm not sure how to tell if my JB is de-odexed. Prior to the root, I just had 4.1.1 that I installed via AT&T's update shortly after buying my phone. I want to install a mod app that requires a de-odexed Stock JB.

At any rate, it worked! First root! Cool, I guess. Thanks for the help.
