[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] appfactory:
Of course mate, i didnt expect you to read for me, lol, but i was hoping to get pointed to the "most relevant" thread about what i wanted to know, and probably one single thread would be more than enough info to read up.

Forums like these are getting out of proportions after some years, and sometimes impossible to navigate through, and why shouldnt i be allowed to ask for help or shortcuts? Who made up that rule?

If i had been here two years longer than you, doesnt mean i need to hold back any info cause i had to learn everything the hard way, instead i would gladly at least guide people in the right direction.

Ive been in allot of different forums over the past years with different kinds if subjects, but never a forum like this where people are so grumpy and very little welcoming and including, there are no "welcome to the forum buddy, i will try my best to guide you in the right direction"

Eventually one will find the way on its own, but sometimes its nice to be lead onto the right path.

I totally agree, and i ALWAYS try to find the answers im looking for through the search function before i ask, but when i stall, i post in a friendly and humble way like i tried to in my original post.

If all the answers to your questions was to read through every topic, there would be vert little activity in here, but then again, maybe easier to browse through.

A forum where its "stupid" or not "allowed" to ask questions is to me more equal to Google... yea, Google is your friend, but sometimes you wish to know more spesific things...

And thanks to you too, im not rooting my phone, cause im not able to find the proper info im looking for... and gives me one more reason to get back to my "boring" Iphone again... but hey, life goes on anyway... :good:

I don't want to sound arrogant or anything and I am always happy to help, but if you do not find the guide for rooting... it seems you didn't follow the advice given to you in the posts earlier.

That are stickies in the general section which will help you to understand the basics of rooting, flashing etc. And in addition you have tons of YouTube guides out there.

Hence I wish you good luck, anything is out there for you to learn and share later on, just a little bit of effort is needed to get there.

I am going to add that you should pick the method that you actually understand the instructions for . That goes for all other flashes updates etc .

If you don't understand then you will probably be joining the help i bricked my phone club .

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] appfactory:
Finally someone who understands where im going with this, thanks... And that was the intention with this thread, to get a pointer to the one or maybe two or even three or four threads that covers the most essential things... I dont know whats essential or not (yet), i can surely read dozens of how to's but i still dont know if its the right solution for my phone and the vers i have.

A bit like jb an iphone, just download this and do that... "oh, you had that bb vers" "thats the only one thats not compatible with this vers" sorry u bricked your phone.

But it feels like its just, if u got the balls, or know everything about it, just do it, or everything is at your own risk, its a hit or miss thing...

I dont think i will root my phone after all, cause there are so much info on how to do it that differs from eachother, and nobody cant seem to tell which thread is the right one for MY phone...

But thanks anyway, to those that actually tried to point me there... ;)
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJEgan:
Sorry you are wrong a day or two actually reading the basic faqs and guides is the starting point that you don't want to start with .This is after all a developers forum that has no place spoon feeding those that dont want to learn .

Their is no best the basic stickied faqs and guides all say the same as do the instructions for each method .

The confusion lies in answers to posts like this where xx say this way is best and b say no use x .Unfortunately due to multiple same posts it is not that easy to navigate the forum but the answer to that is for noobs to bother reading the facts and guides before posting repetitive questions .

I would in your case read the instructions and use CF Root method .

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] azrieqb:
Look for cf auto root if you don't want recovery to be stock. Use cf root if u want the custom recovery. To all advanced user out there, correct me if I'm wrong.

If youre right, thats the shortest and best answer so far, :good: given ;)

You might as well get the PS3 controller, especially for the sixaxis app.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] RohanM:
PS 3 controller is expensive. plz tell me above mentioned will work ??
[Galaxy S III Accessories] sidthegreatest:
The PS3 controller can be bought for 1K-1.5K if you look hard enough.

I doubt many apps are compatible with the PS2 controller, but I cannot say for sure.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] RohanM:
Well indeed i check that but they all are expensive.

have a look plz.

http://www.flipkart.com/gaming-acce...orm%5B%5D=PS3&sid=4rr,km5,dom,a7g&layout=grid

It's pointless to invest in a controller if u dnt have the ps3 itself. for mobile gaming only !!

i have my i7 & gtx 650 ti for that already.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] nm8:
I also want to know, becasue I have a XBox controller that I use on my PC and it does not work with my S3...
[Galaxy S III Accessories] compro01:
No, a PS3 controller is able to connect via bluetooth to some phones, including the Galaxy S3 using the sixaxis app.

A PS2 controller won't do that.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] chrismast:
As far as I know, XboX 360 controllers can only connect to the S3 via wire, PS3 via wire and Bluetooth (I got one myself). Other controller, no clue but I guess it will be difficult without Sixaxis for other controllers to map the buttons if the game does not support it native.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] rocket321:
Can you link the right cable adapter to use to connect a 360 controller to the S3? Is it just a S3 compatible OTG cable? I've only heard of using the ps3 controller, but since I actually have a couple corded 360 controllers I'm quite interested if that's an option.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] chrismast:
I read somewhere that you just need a converter wire from your XboX 360 connection to the S3's connector (micro USB?). I bought them quite cheap in an IT mall as it is the same process the first time you connect your PS3 controller to the S3 and those wires are working fine.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] rocket321:
Wow that's cool, looks like android will recognize and use the 360 controller with a standard usb-otg cable, I'm surprised no one ever talks about this (I only ever see threads about dualshock and wiimotes). Thanks for the heads up.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] nm8:
I have x2 USB OTG cables and they don't work with my Xbox 360 controller. Other peripherals like mouse and a standard keyboard works though.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] chrismast:

HI all, a few months i rooted my S3 phone then an update messed everything up, it stopped giving permissions to applications and they could not run, Im also trying to reset binary counter but triangle away is not working.

SuperSU is reporting that SU binary is not installed and it cannot install it.

None of the SuperSU functions do anything anymore and it does not function and i cannot uninstall it. I am trying to reset binary counter to see if it will fix the issues but triangle away keeps crashing on startup. Any advice please? Thank you

Other things that my phone does:

On startup it always says android is updating has dont for the past few months it is no longer downloading or installing other updates.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mikep99:
you need to root it again. The update will have removed it.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Beatsleigher:
The update removed the SU binaries.

For the "Android is Updating..." thing; re-flash recovery (Via Odin and preferably a kernel after that) and wipe the dalvik cache, that should take care of the problem. Once you've installed the kernel, your root problems should go away as well :)
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gzanothor:
Ok thanks i'l give it a try
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gzanothor:
ok i'v rerooted it and that fixed the SU problem, how do you go about re-flashing recovery with odin?

Can I suggest you guys also sort out any differences between different carriers, regions, etc in relation to the method being tested. For example, having a willing test user from the majority of regions. That way, if the method is found, we can know if it will work with all One variants or certain ones.

However, these type of threads are for the devs to discuss this and keep it out of the dev boards until the method is found. We, as normal users, can contribute to their efforts by suggesting and testing if we are willing. However, if you have nothing to contribute to their effort, and the ultimate goal of this thread, then they kindly ask you to not post and just enjoy the reading when the dev part comes into play after release.

That has never been the point of these kinds of threads, these threads have basically been a way of keeping the "GIBE ME S-OFF PLS WHEN I WANT S-OFF" types out of dev threads.

quick question guys - is there an "idiot's guide to rooting and flashing custom ROMs" thread?

i know there kind of is in the dev section, but what im looking for is a list of pros and cons of rooting my phone and flashing custom rom at the moment, but i couldnt find that.

can anyone advise?
[One (M7) General] SteelH:
Yeah, learn to search like the rest of us.
[One (M7) General] djbenny1:
Cheers genius.

How about this? You link to said thread or post and I'll click the little thanks button under your name.

I've been round here long enough to know to search, and this time I found nothing.

PS before you hit lmgtfy, I'm looking for One specific pros and cons.
[One (M7) General] arknailed7754:
--

youll never get a 'one' specific for pros and cons. Rooting pretty much goes across the board to pros and cons. Its not tied to one device be honest

edit(one pro for this phone is waking the phone up by volume control due to htc deciding again to put it at the top!)

Pros..changing screen density. To fit more on!

changing visual looks,themes,icons etc

flashing custom roms

flashing various kernels

controlling the processor

devling deeper into the system

cons-nothing really..rooting can be undone and bootloader can be relocked. There is no downside.

The only downside is if your a muppet and play with things before researching what your doing, but if youve backed up this can be solved a majority of the time anyway
[One (M7) General] djbenny1:
ahh, thanks man

i know about the benefits of root etc from previous phones, what i was looking for was pretty much an answer to "will it void my warranty", and it seems that the answer is no as it can be restored.
[One (M7) General] SteelH:
If you ask for that you will get nothing but XDA user's opinions. Some good, many worthless. Bad idea.
[One (M7) General] arknailed7754:
--

no,its fairly easy,theres a guide to do it,follow the steps..all is well. Just dont root and play before your at least 70% happy your keeping the phone,save the hassle for yourself in the longrun

---------- Post added at 12:18 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:16 AM ----------

Mate..the general and q and a threads are for this reason..xda user opinions..and every other site is opinions. Xda is opinions and answers. where are you looking. You are right in the respect of try it for yourself i guess but lol theres no harm in someone asking
[One (M7) General] djbenny1:
im 100% happy im keeping the phone, unless something breaks so i'm gonna go for it :D

thanks!

EDIT - just to add for those who helped

was midway through the rooting process (got my file from HTCdev) and then decided i couldnt be bothered losing all my pictures, game data etc again.

ill wait until there are really major benefits to rooting before going ahead with it, but the process seems very straight forward using the tool in the dev section

I've been through 3 htc rezounds and I've sent them in unlocked custom rom and recovery, they never said anything. They were under warranty but no insurance
[One (M7) General] Goku80:
Can we stick to the topic of this thread or shall I just close it
[One (M7) General] Goku80:
Right long story short did a quick search and no one has started any kinda development for the HTC One...Let us not forget this phone is not even out yet in most countries round the world so for developers to start the process is still very very early.

Let us not forget that the HTC DNA, One XL, One S have all received S-OFF due to the Snapdragon chips.

http://www.xda-developers.com/android/facepalm-s-off-for-htc-one-s-one-xl-and-droid-dna/

so pretty sure these guys if not others will be working on something...Give it till may June and you should see something by then...

If anyone though developer or non developer would love to use this thread to post some findings and that way more people can get involved please do so....

And again please stay on topic and do not derail this thread or else might just shut up shop and leave it
[One (M7) General] Hunt3r.j2:
No clue if the Facepalm S-OFF exploit has been closed. I haven't seen Beaups on these forums yet. No doubt that the lack of microSD will make things harder in this regard though.

Has anyone gotten in contact with Josh Groce from Mobile Tech Videos? He had a method of S-OFF that required disassembling the phone but worked on HTC 2012 Snapdragon phones with no microSD, and managed to make it work even when OTAs would patch other S-OFF methods.

Hey Guys!

I was just wondering whether any developers are working on porting Sense 5.0 to the HTC One X as I'd love to experience blinkfeed and all the performance increases Sense 5.0 will bring so I was just wondering whether any devs were working on a rom based on it. So far I can see that there are Sense 5 roms for the HTC J Butterfly/Droid DNA and there are theme packs for the One X but I would really like blinkfeed and the updated Rosie launcher. I've heard HTC Is updating the One X, S, J and butterfly to Sense 5 officially but god knows how long they'd take.

tl:dr

Are any devs working on Sense 5 for the HOX?

No one as far as I know, and as you aware of, It would be meaningless to port Sense 5 when it's going to be officially released to our phone.

I signed a two year contract with my fiance with AT&T USA last Sunday and we both got Galaxy S3s, now, the phone is cool and all, but she's not happy with the sound quality, and you can't see this thing in direct sunlight to save anybody's damn life.

So we're going to exchange them soon for iPhone 5s, now, she will probably love IOS and keep hers.

But I have had my eyes on the HTC One since it's reveal, and I'm really, really itching to have one. Can I sell the iPhone 5 for about $550 in a few weeks and buy the developer edition of the One for $649, and then send in my Evo 4G to recoup the $100 difference?

Good idea? Any flaws?
