If you got it going again and you have custom ROM and custom recovery installed, the ROM you are using is an old ROM, I'm sure there are more up to date ROMs for the GT-i9300, if you'd rather have the latest Kit Kat(4.4.4) or lollipop (5.0) then all you have to do is do a Google search and find the newest custom ROM for GT-i9300 and Gapps pack, download them and store them on your ext sdcard then boot to recovery and do all the wipes(factory reset/wipe data, wipe cache, wipe dalvik cache) as described earlier, then do the install zips as described earlier then reboot and enjoy, this is how you will flash new ROMs from now on. Don't forget to make a nandroid backup in recovery by selecting the backup/restore option in recovery, then select backup to sdcard1, this will make a complete backup of everything on your phone and store it on your extsd for safe keeping, if you have problems at any point then all you have to do is boot to recovery and select the backup/restore option then select restore from sdcard1 then select the backup you made(it will have a series of numbers that represent the date and time that you made the backup), then select yes or OK or restore, this will restore the backup and put you back at the point that you made the backup and will straighten out any issue you were having.

If you now have a yellow triangle at boot and you'd like to get rid of it then you can use Chainfires "Triangle Away" app, you'll have to try different versions till you find one that works. If the app doesn't work then the only way I know of to remove triangle is to find the stock firmware for GT-i9300 and flash it through Odin like you did the recovery, this removes the triangle and resets the flash counter, then re-root, install superSU from playstore and install custom recovery but this time the recovery will be installed by a method that won't give you the yellow triangle. To install recovery this time you will install the "EZ Recovery for VZW" app from playstore, then find and download the same recovery as the first time but this time you want the one that is in .img format, not .tar like the first one and not .zip either. After you download the recovery.img place it in your internal memory on the phone, open EZ Recovery on the phone, swipe to next page on the right and select "custom" then click the grey 3dot button and browse to your recovery.IMG and select it, when it goes back to EZ screen select "flash" then select "reboot recovery", this takes you to recovery where you do the wipes again then install zips again. This time when you reboot you won't see the yellow triangle.

Then you'll have a rooted and customized phone with no triangle. Its a little trouble but if you're open to learning give it a try.

Its never wise to use anything from another device unless you can find confirmation that it has been done on your device by more than one user successfully. Since you have many of those devices I guess you could try it but use something for a 7 tablet, using stuff for devices with smaller or larger screens has a tendency to brick the device because of DPI(density) incompatibility.

[General Questions and Answers] ANDR01DN00B:
Hey guys I have been blessed to have both of my main devices (HTC One M7 and Nexus 7 (2013)) updated to Lollipop and I have one HUGE concern: I am constantly flashing ROMs here and there and every time I set up a new ROM it shows that my last backup to Google servers occurred over 50 days ago, for both devices!!! Being that my M7 is sometimes running a Sense ROM with HTC backup, could there be an issue with that service? If there is a way to manually back up my data to Google's servers instead of it scheduling an update every few days, how do I do it?

Thanks so much in advance.

Root, Rom and R[F]ash I9305T

While there are rooting + rom + flashing guides out there, but they normally use terminology that us noobies aren't familiar with.

So here's my question.

I want to root my S3 (GT-I9305T).

My plan is to Root the S3 using odin, with the following process

1. I'll install TWRP using Odin as well (i guess it's same process as above, just using different file?

2. Use TWRP to flash the ROM and Gapps (like in this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ldHjtKAU3xo from about 1:00min forward, since i'm not using the rom he is using)

Rom is by Rodman, looks to be stable: http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s3/deve...-kitkat-v5-t2704828/post51612639#post51612639

* Do i need anything else, whether on my S3, or pc, other than stuff mentioned in my instructions. I would assume that the usb drivers for the S3 will be in the Samsung Kies program.

* Do i need to enable USB debugging at any point?

Thanks in advance!
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
Use a file manager such as ES file explorer, in es file press the menu button and select the tools tab then scroll down to root explorer and turn it on, grant superuser when it asks, in the next menu select mount r/w then in the next menu select r/w for each option shown so that each has a blue bubble under r/w. Then you can move your files.

Anytime you want to add/remove, edit, copy to, move to, and overwrite anything g in system then you need to have permissions to write to system set, system is set to read only by default to protect your system files.

I ended up having to download a different root explorer. Now the boot works but I need to find a PowerOn.ogg clip to use with the hulk smash boot?
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
Yes you need to turn usb debugging on and yes you will use CF auto root to gain root and install superSU. Flashing TWRP through Odin may give you the annoying yellow triangle on your splashscreen at bootup, to avoid this there are other ways to install TWRP such as using the Flashify app or the TWRP app that were made for this purpose, they are easy to use and can be done from the device with no need for PC, just download your compatible TWRP in .img format instead of the .tar that you would use through Odin, you dont want the .zip format either, get the .img and flash it through whichever app you choose, I believe if your device is Verizon then you can use the EZ Recovery for VZW app to flash your recovery too. Take your pick and flash it, just make sure the file is in .img format. Then yes you will flash your ROM and Gapps through TWRP recovery, just make sure to do all your wipes before you flash your zips(factory reset/wipe data, wipe cache and wipe dalvik cache) then you're set.

I think there are better and more up to date ROMs than your 4.4.2 that you have chosen, I can help you find them maybe. Just saying.

---------- Post added at 02:45 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:34 AM ----------

If you can't find one you can make one yourself by finding an audio file in a different format that has the sound you want then you can convert it to an .ogg yourself. Maybe you can take a sound clip from the movie and edit it, convert it and make it match in time with your ani, maybe you could even take a clip of a scene from the movie and separate the audio and video and convert them both into the format needed then place them in system and since they both came from the same section that was clipped out then they will already be in time with each other so that they play together correctly, that would be cool.

[General Questions and Answers] tetakpatak:
Are you familiar with Linux also? To become root and get permissions, in fact access to the operating system, you have to be able to write such scripts directly into the system.

The problem to be solved is, that such terminal commands while running the operating system will simply be denied, as the permissions are set that way.

So the easiest trick is in most of times to reboot the device into download/bootloader mode, re-flash the stock recovery with a modified recovery mode, that will allow installing the system files without running the digital signature check.

In such customized recovery it is easy to flash zip files (they must contain proper libs with install scripts), that will inject superuser application directly in the /system partition. Chainfire has made it easy for us, as his Super-superuser zip can be flashed in most of common devices. Another people are specialized in modifying the recovery and adapting it to wide number of devices.

So we just need a device with open bootloader, or easy access to its unlocking to be able ti reflash the recovery. Some devices that are designed for developers (Google Nexus, OnePlus One) need simply a command "fastboot oem unlock" that will unlock the bootloader and wipe all data on the device by default. Some devices are shipped with totally open bootloaders (Samsung).

The problem starts, if the device has been shipped with a locked bootloader that needs the key code to be opened. If the manufacturer provides unlocking service (HTC, Motorola) it is easy to obtain the code online.

However some manufacturers or providers don't support bootloader unlocking. They prefer to charge the money without giving an ownship of the device.

We on XDA here usually void such devices. If your Sharp is such, consider selling it on ebay and buying anothet one.

Plz help
[General Questions and Answers] thorpj:
Hi psycho, thanks for helping me out here.

If Odin is just going to add the triangle, then i'm not too bothered by it. I don't turn my phone off very often, so for my use case it shouldn't be a problem.

Add to that the added complication... I would love to learn about all this stuff, but i figure that i can do that later, with an old Xperia Ray (it's got a locked bootloader, so that should be even more fun!)

The link i posted was correct, but the thread has been changed to: [ROM][5.0.2][i9305 OFFICIAL] Resurrection Remix® LP v5.3.4 [10/02/15]. The URL couldn't be updated. I probably should have mentioned that.

If you do feel like explaining to a noob the things that i didn't understand in your post (read, almost all of it :D) then, thanks, i appreciate the time and effort taken.

FYI, my S3 is a I9305T (T for Telstra bloatware), but i bought the phone from Vodafone, AU.
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
Sure, its not complicated, just root and get superSU, then just download the "TWRP for root" app from the play store, then do a Google search for "TWRP for GT-i9305T" download the newest version you can find or just find the same version that you already found and get it downloaded in .img format, your filename will be something like "TWRP X.X.X.X.img GT-i9305T(or something to that effect), you don't want the .zip or.tar files if you use the TWRP app, when you have it downloaded just flash it through the app, basically

Root with CF autoroot

Install superSU

Install TWRP for root from playstore

Download TWRP file in .img format

Flash the TWRP .img through the TWRP app.

Then boot to recovery and select wipe, when done with the wipe select install then flash your ROM and Gapps, with TWRP you can flash them both at the same time, when you select your ROM zip it will have the option to add more zips, add your Gapps zip and flash them both then you reboot and you're good to go.

[General Questions and Answers] thorpj:
Ok, that makes more sense to me :D Thanks for clarifying, i think i'll go with your method with my S3, do a little more learning.

Just to check, rooting with the auto root is through Odin right?

I figure I can do all that,

EDIT: The latest version of TWRP for my S3 is 2.6.3.0 Pretty sure it needs to be 2.8 because Lollipop?. But it does say "Install the app and open it. Tap menu then hit Install OpenRecoveryScript. Tap Yes. Verify that the filename displays your device's code name and hit Yes. The file will download and your device will install the recovery automatically."

EDIT2: This could be a nuance. TWRP version listings for the I9305t go up to 2.6.3 I'm pretty sure that i need 2.8 for a Lollipop ROM (right??) If so, then i might need to use an I9305 TWRP .img since the T is just T for Telstra Bloatware
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
Yes CF auto root is through Odin but I forgot that CF auto root gives you the yellow triangle anyway. I searched for another way to root that wouldn't give you the triangle, I found a post that had the Framaroot app as the root method but it was for the GT-i9305 not the GT-9305T but I also saw some stuff from other users with the "T" that were pointed to the root methods for the non "T" 9305. If you're curious about learning or would like to avoid the pesky triangle then try Framaroot, its a simple app, then you can install superSU and carry on to the TWRP manager(root) app to install recovery and continue as normal from there, if Framaroot works you won't need the PC for any part of the process and you won't have the triangle either.

[General Questions and Answers] thorpj:
Once again, thanks for your help

Everything that i've read about the I9305T is that it's just extra bloatware (as if Samsung doesn't put enough on it already!!) The fact that users are going and using 9305 stuff seems to reinforce that.

I looked at framaroot, but found this in the Q&A, so it might not work

"Keep in mind that framaroot is not a permanent rooting application.

Does it only need to work temporarily, so that i can use the TWRP app to keep it permanently rooted?

If not, then i'll be fine with the triangle. Kinda FWP :) I've learnt plenty in the past day or two, (especially thanks to you for that :D ), but ofc there's always going be more to learn.

Hello How do I request a name change thanks
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
Either you've got stuff tucked away that you don't realize is there,(there is an emulated storage that is kinda like multiple partitions but they aren't separate, they overlay each other but if you aren't selecting to view the right partition then some files won't show, one of these file types is your nandroid backups if you by chance made your backups to internal memory instead of to external sdcard). If you make a backup to internal then you have virtually doubled the amount of internal space that is occupied because you have the running system and the copy of it both on internal, then if you flash a ROM then make another backup to internal then that backup has the other backup packed into it also which is like taking three times the space that you normally would, make sure your backups are stored to external and keep the internal folder for backups empty.

Hmm.. That's strange, I don't know what to say about that, I was more making a suggestion for you to check than I was saying that was your issue, you may have a ROM that splits internal memory into "internal" and sdcard or sdcard0 plus your ext SD or the ROM may not support anything over 16gb.
