[Nexus 10 General] risktaker:
Since the Wifi is baked into the kernel, it's (reboot) probably due to the wifi losing connectivity. I haven't been able to use Wifi on DHCP since 4.2.1 due to the known bug. To resolve this, I have use static IP and that solved my random reboot issue and wifi connectivity issue.

BTW, once you get into that wifi stuck in authentication or "obtaining IP address" loop, that means your wifi profile is broken. The only solution that has so far been about 75% successful is to wipe the davlik-cache but you need to install CM or TeamWIN bootloaders to do this work successfully.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Wormtown:
I am about one year into my VZW Gnex, and the speaker just stopped working (tried the headset switch, different roms, cleaning the headset jack etc, all with no dice) and looking for input. Since I need the sound to work, currently using my old original Incredible.

Looking for input on options

1)Find replacement speaker part and see if that works--could be a few weeks or a month to get the part

2)try to sell for parts and get GSIII on VZW

3)Drop line back to dumb phone, losing unlimited data, and go Nexus 4 on T-mob monthly--though service isn't nearly as good in my area as VZW.

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Skunk Ape1:
Yes... It will work with Jellybean. This method does not install a prerooted image tar. So it will root whatever Is on your phone without any regard. It simply installs custom recovery and root.

Sorry, this is for the at&t galaxy s3. This guide was originally written for the Sprint but I replaced CWM 6.0.1.2 with 6.0.1.4 to make it compatible with the at&t. The rest is identical. I thought I had cleaned up the guide. I guess I missed a few references. I will clean it up after work tonight to get rid of any confusion. Thanks very much for the heads up...

Any chance you could make a guide for mac users? Much thanks!
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Skunk Ape1:
Sorry I don't have a Mac. I only know that you need a program called hiemdall. Don't even know if you use the same files. I can't in good conscience, put out a guide completely blind.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] smelenchuk:
Yes and no - you need to extract the individual files from the .tar image in order to use the image with Heimdall. Unfortunately, not having gone through the entire process myself in that fashion, I can't really comment on which files match up with which Heimdall options, though I may look more in detail into that at a later date.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] vancitygl:
No worries Skunk Ape1. I just haven't been able to find a guide for 4.1.1 on mac.

smelenchuk if you do please let me know your findings! Thanks man
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Clark Joseph Kent:
RC great work here, worthy of a sticky, so Stuck and Thank you.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] smelenchuk:
Okay, I've taken the time to tinker with Heimdall a bit to get the partition identifiers from my own phone (which matches up from the info from this old thread), and have put together the following, which seems to work for me. This was with Heimdall 1.4-rc1; I think earlier versions don't accept numeric identifiers.

You'd probably better have a plan on hand to get things back to normal if this doesn't work (I'm not responsible for your bricking your own device if this doesn't work).

You'll need to extract the .tar image before using this; if you're at a command line,

tar xf <image>.tar

should suffice to do that. You'll end up with the following files:

aboot.mbn
boot.img
cache.img.ext4
NON-HLOS.bin
recovery.img
rpm.mbn
sbl2.mbn
sbl3.mbn
system.img.ext4
tz.mbn

Afterwards, boot your phone into download mode (from a powered-down phone, Vol Down + Home + Power Button until you see the Samsung logo) and make sure you're completely ready and have backups and all before you run the following (I'm not going to be held responsible for you bricking your own phone and being unable to recover from it afterwards):

heimdall flash --1 NON-HLOS.bin --3 sbl2.mbn --4 sbl3.mbn --5 aboot.mbn --6 rpm.mbn --7 boot.img --8 tz.mbn --14 system.img.ext4 --17 cache.img.ext4 --18 recovery.img

You should be able to get away with flashing only some of those images instead of all of them (in particular, if you have a third party recovery from somewhere, you might want to omit the recovery image); that said, if you're only flashing some of the specified images as opposed to all of them, I'm almost certain it will trip the flash counter. (I don't know if flashing *everything* will trip the flash counter or not, though, seeing as I deliberately did not flash the recovery during my own test for ease of restoring my phone to its normal happy state.)

I don't know anything about Mac. Lol...
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] JeRrYFaR:
So.. stupid question, but I'm going to ask it anyway:

With my Atrix, there was root *and* unlock. I couldn't install another ROM unless I unlocked the phone first (would show unlocked as it booted). I'm assuming w/ the GS3 I don't need to as I had to install a new ROM essentially using that zip file, but I will ask anyway:

Can I grab a new gapps/ROM and just install now, or is there another step to doing so?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Skunk Ape1:
There is no lock on the gs3. So once you are rooted and have custom recovery you can simply flash the ROM and gapps (if cm or aosp) after doing the appropriate wipes.

Note: Touchwiz roms don't have gapps as they are included in the ROM

Driver installation issues in VM

I am trying to do this in a VM, following the instruction in the OP, and am getting this error (driver installation failed)

I leave my phone unplugged, install the "Samsung_USB_Driver_for_Mobile_Phones_v1.5.14.0", plug my phone in, and the automatic Windows driver installation fails. I even went to Samsung's website and downloaded the drivers from there.

I have uninstalled and reinstalled both the package from the zip and the driver from the "device properties" 5 times, each with the same result. I just got this phone 2 days ago, so I'm being extra cautious before proceeding. I don't know if it's because I'm in a VM that this is failing, but judging from everyone else that has replied in this thread I am betting so.

If someone can go to their Control Panel\Hardware and Sound\Devices and Printers , right-click on the "SAMSUNG_Android_SGH-I747" and click Properties > Hardware (tab) > Properties > Driver (tab) > Driver Details and tell me what driver is currently installed so I can manually install it.

Thanks.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] r0n d0n:
Finally got the drivers to install. I'm pretty sure it was installing the Virtual Box extension pack that fixed it.

I will report back with news when I get it rooted or if it fails.

It worked like a charm! It is possible to use this method from a virtual machine.

I used VirtualBox 4.2.8 OSE with the guest add-ons and the extension pack installed on Debian host with Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit guest.

TWRP...d2can

the only thing is if you want to backup your ROM, you need to update to the canadian version (d2can) of TWRP and get the last version version...(2.4.4.0 while writing this post). goomanager app can help to get the up-to-date TWRP after following this guide.

I got some errors with the ATT version of TWRP (not recognizing ext-sd...).
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Skunk Ape1:
Most likely the reason your ad card was not recognized is it's formatted to exfat file system. Only the newer versions of twrp will recognize exfat. None of the cwm versions will. Also something to note. Many kernels won't recognize the exfat file system. So if you find that your sdcard is having trouble mounting, it is likely the kernel. You can resolve the issues by changing to a kernel that supports exfat or format your sdcard with the fat32 file system.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] nabolito:
Good to know, thanks. I will save the data and reformat to fat32. It will easier to manage I think...

Thanks for the guide & zipfile, rooted my new-to-me gs3 a couple weeks ago with this and had CM running within 20 mins of this phone being in my hand.

Couple questions for OP or anyone who may know and could lend their time to a reply:

1. rom manager does not see that cwm is installed. I searched the thread and found a post by the OP about flashing a newer cwm via cwm but he edited and removed the link as it may have not worked for someone.

Is there a way to make rom manager see that cwm-t is installed and not have to flash non touch cwm with rom mgr? I like to use rom manager mainly just to be able to name backups.

2. if I make a backup straight from cwm it gets named after the date but the date is in 1970, is that normal? I've used cwm a lot on my old inspire so I'm used to the date-name but the inspire was always correct in the date/time (it was gmt though)

edit: a bonus 3rd question: I've never used twrp or any other recovery than cwm, but I'm seeing on google that twrp might do backups in cwm's old style where everything is stored in every backup, no incremental /blobs dir. Is that true? I would like this better than cwm's new way. Does it function about like cwm in every other way? It'll be easy to figure out how to wipe a partition or 2 or most other stuff in cwm? Does it have an in-OS front end like rom mgr? I like to restore apps/appdata out of cwm backups with titanium, can titanium do this from twrp backups?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Skunk Ape1:
Yes twrp has a single file backup. You can also choose to compress the backups to make them smaller. There are lots of things that make me like twrp over cwm. The backups are just one of them.

I don't restore data so I don't know but I know that it had the ability to do custom restores. It has probably more functions than cwm.

As for ROM manager I think it's one the worst things to happen to the dev community. But there are similar apps that work with twrp.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Gliptor:
Works but maybe a hiccup for some?

I want to start with thank you very much and it worked like a charm. Nice and easy! Which is what I needed because I have limited exp so the following may not really apply. Please let me know if this is possible or not just in case it helps someone else.

After following this guide and successfully installing a working root and CWM recovery I tried installed ☆ ★ | ROM | SynergyROM AT&T S3 | JB 4.1.2 | Multiwindow | PDroid | Mar 30 r443 |★ ☆

It has a fancy custom installer launched through CWM. It has the ability to work on a variety of SGS3 like ATT,Sprint,Verizon,etc all within the same file download and it "auto" choses the correct version to install based on the CWM recovery you have installed on your phone.

I use ATT roms with the d2att from the forums here and yada yada yada ....long story of a new guy is the flash auto installed SPRINT onto my device. I'm not bricked or anything but data service is a mess and device model number is changed in my about device section etc. I'm going back to stock again right now and killing time as i DL the latest stock att rom.

Anyways, question to the team is "Is the CWM recovery in this guide a Sprint one which happens to work on Att which may lead to an auto installer miss identifying what model phone you are using?" Another example would be ROM manager now sees me as d2sprint when I try to update CWM.

Just wanted to throw my recent exp in. I may be on glue but after a few hours of head scratching this is what I think happened. I'd love to know if there may be a hint of truth to this or if I'm on glue :) The guide did work as claimed and I am very happy with it, probably a 1 out of 100 chance I chose to follow up installing with a flash that id my device by CWM somehow. If that is even possible.

Hope this helps someone if they are scratching there head with an ATT phone which evolved to Sprint :)

If there is no possible way this happened to me let me know or delete this post so that way noone gets confused by my lack of knowledge on these subjects. Thanks to everyone here who works hard with these phones, this is an amazing resource! Cheers! :good:
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Skunk Ape1:
No this is an official cwm recovery for att. You flashed a Sprint ROM and about the only way to fix it is with a jtag device. You made a mistake. Warnings about doing this are in almost every ROM thread.
