Oh Dear God!

Do I understand you correctly that you are trying to "Root" Slimbean 4.3 ? Try to read that Rom's OP. You are supposed to

1. Unlock Developer Options by clicking 7 times on Build Number.

2. Under Developer Tools, Change SU setting to ADB & Apps.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
The OP that was actually requesting help with rooting just asked for how to root the device. I don't believe he ever mentioned trying to get slim or any other Rom at this time.

I think everyone has just confused everyone at this point! He wasn't asking how to root slim I'm pretty sure!

@OP

Go to my firmware thread linked in my sig.

The first section has the root66 firmware, download the firmware for your model device.

Flash in Odin as you would with any other stock firmware. (Instructions are in the thread as well)

That's it! You are now rooted!
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Perseus:
Thanks doc for clarifying. Apology [MENTION=225651]op[/MENTION] if I went OT.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] MotoDefier:
I already have slim 4.3 rooted but a previous poster requested how to do so, the way I explained was the only way I found so I wrote the explanation for it because it wasn't straight forward as you can see I had to get a little creative to get it to work.

Edit: I got a post notification yesterday through the app which is why I responded, but your right that post is not there today, oh well maybe it will help some one who does have that question, lmfao!

---------- Post added at 12:42 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:20 PM ----------

Either way sorry for the confusion, I have had weird issues with the XDA app for a while now, this was one of them. @ OP Follow Docs instructions and you will be rooted in no time.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] enveous:
Is there a way to root the T999L without restoring to factory settings? Or what's the recommended way to backup Apps/Settings to restore in a flash of a rooted firmware? I've used Titanium Backup in the past but I'm not sure if it's the best way to do it.

I already downloaded the files in the DocHoliday77 method above, but I want to find another way that doesn't go back to factory. I want to root my device but I don't want to go through all the setup again...anyhow, if there's no way I guess I'll do it anyway.

Thanks a lot for your help!
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] henry8668:
Root doesn't need factory reset.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] enveous:
No I know, but if I'm not mistaken the method posted by DocHoliday77 above goes back to factory...am I wrong?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] henry8668:
I used root66 way to root my phone and I don't think it goes back to factory setting.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] enveous:
"I don't think" is what worries me...I mean, I can always setup my phone again no problem, but I would REALLY prefer not to. Thanks for the reply.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] MotoDefier:
If you aren't running stock firmware what are you running?

---------- Post added at 10:52 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:50 PM ----------

If your not on stock firmware what are you running?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] enveous:
Excuse me if I didn't explain myself correclty, I'm running stock 4.1.2 and hence not being rooted.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] MotoDefier:
If you don't want to reset your phone motochopper is the way to go in my opinion, it doesn't take more than a few minutes.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] enveous:
Worked like a charm thanks!!! I'll post the link here just in case anyone needs it.

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
Odin does not wipe anything. If you were on stock MD5 (4.1.2), and you followed the root66 instructions, when you reboot it will be exactly as it was before, only rooted.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] MotoDefier:
[MENTION=1309922]doc.[/MENTION] Just wondering here, why is root66 your preferred method? Has it been proven safer? Is it just that you have more knowledge of how it works? Obviously I would rather be giving that same advice if it has been proven safer, just looking for better education on this.

Edit: I have always recommended motochopper because I used it for my T999L and I liked the fact that it was fast and obviously that it didn't brick my device.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Perseus:
I too recommend Root66. I know there are other equally good methods but this one seems far too easy to explain. Also It is fairly noob proof in my opinion. Galaxys3root.com even has a video tutorial. So makes easy as well.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] MotoDefier:
Huh, so its really a potato pototo kind of thing. Motochopper is as easy as, and fairly noob proof. DL motochopper, tick debugging, run script hit enter, auto reboot, done.

Does root66 trip the flash counter?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Perseus:
Indeed its Potato vs pototo thing. Aptly put! Root66 does not trip counter.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Aerowinder:
root66 won't trip the flash counter, but the custom recovery is going to do that the first time you reboot. Flash counter can't factor into the argument unless you aren't going to be using a custom recovery.

It's faster to Odin recovery and flash SuperSU with it. And no more dangerous.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] MotoDefier:
The only thing I wonder about is... With motochopper there are no extra options available that could assist you in bricking, while ODIN does infact have additional options that when used improperly can cause a brick I.e. flashing to phone, recovery, modem, CSC instead of PDA. Or simply flashing with the .pit option with no available .pit file, I know that's a very rare mistake but its a mistake noobs have the option to make, and have made multiple times in the past because they had a different OS version than that of the person writing the guide.

(DISCLAIMER: of course we all know any time you attempt to modify your device there is always some assumed risk, and no matter how well it has been documented for one method or another, there is always that one device or one desktop OS that has some rogue anomaly or environment variable not present in most that can cause a brick. ALWAYS DO YOUR HOMEWORK BEFORE ATTEMPTING ANYTHING, IF ITS NOT CRYSTAL CLEAR ASK THE PERSON WHO WROTE IT TO CLARIFY BEFORE PROCEEDING.)
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
I always recommend root66 for several reasons:

It's about as easy as it gets. (You only have to flash one thing to gain root)

You don't have to worry about whether or not the person you are helping wants to flash a rom after rooting, or if they just want stock rooted.

It ensures people are on the latest build.

After rooting, people wont have to ask "How do I update my firmware?", or "Why can't I flash anything? I keep getting status 7 errors in recovery?"

EVERYONE who is going to root or mess around with their device like we do NEEDS to know how to use Odin! Better they get familiar with it now!

They also need to know that firmware exists and where to find it! And that it is different than a ROM.

Oh, and I also wrote our Firmware thread, I don't want to let it go to waste now do I? ;)

There are a few other minor reasons, but those are the main, most important ones.

I don't really call it the safest solution anymore, especially since the toolkit is gone!

Motochopper, IMO, served its purpose by helping us gain root without writing over the stock recovery on your T999L. While it certainly is good to know about it, I don't generally recommend using it for two main reasons:

I do feel using Odin is a little safer than using any exploit. This is mostly just my personal opinion/feeling about it. I don't have proof either way, and I'm not saying Motochopper is not safe to use, just I don't think it is as safe as using Odin.

Motochopper has been patched against in Samsungs latest builds. It will work for current ones, but will essentially become useless for any of our future updated ones. Better to teach folks a method that we know will continue to work.

There are benefits to Aerowinders preferred method too though. The noob user still learns a little about Odin, and if they plan on flashing a custom rom, they simply just flash recovery in Odin, then flash the rom they want. Provided they are already updated to LJC or MD5, of course.

Hope that explains it well enough!
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] MotoDefier:
Looks like I need to do a little more research myself! Thanks for the thorough explanation. Great points, we are all lucky to have an RC with your knowledge.

EDIT: I don't know that I would call motochopper a true exploit though, after digging through its resources and its batch script it seems to use the same "security hole" as a lot of one clicks do which is just pushing the superuser.apk and su binary to the /data/local/tmp folder at least on every device I have ever had this folders permissions don't get patched or changed I know I don't understand what exactly goes on after the files get pushed which may mean I'm simply to stupid at the moment to understand, but it doesn't make sense to me that simply pushing the necessary files to the temp folder allow it to install superuser rights if that's the case anyone with a medium level knowledge of adb could root it within a few minutes without a one click app. Any thoughts as to why this works?

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Perseus:
Are you just looking to Root your T999L ? If so, follow this post.

If its something else, please specify you need the guide to do what?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] masondoctorjt:
The problem with that guide though is that the information is no longer entirely accurate if on 4.3 stock firmware.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Perseus:
The Recovery way works just fine, 4.3 or not.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] SixStringSW:
Just to be sure (I bricked my phone and just got it back from the shop). It's a Galaxy S3 T-999L and now has SlimKat 4.4.4, but came back to me improperly rooted (or not rooted at all, maybe). I can root it using the Recovery Way with Odin 3.09 and installing CWMS3Tmobilerecovery.tar, is that correct?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] aquatarkus:
What's the quickest and least painful way of rooting an S3 which is running Samsux's OTA-updated version of KK 4.4.2? Is motochopper going to work with KK? I used saferoot successfully on my Gnex, but I've read reports of it bricking S3s with 4.3, so maybe it's not safe with KK either.
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] peppepep:
Hi

I have an MDA compact bought Germany but now WWE.

I have installed MS reader (version 2.3) and at the end of the installation, on the PDA screen, it sais that some new characters have been installed and to view them correctly I have to activate them using instruction provided together with the device (?????)

In fact MS reader (in menus, settings...) uses strange characters, for instance I don't have ">" and "<" to scroll pages, but "4" and "3"....how is it possible??

Any help will be VERY appreciated!

Thanks a lot
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] ianlo:
I had that experience before. But when I reset the machine (soft reset) and then launched MS Reader again, the funny characters went away. No idea why.

You can also try MemMaid to clear any unwanted registry entries / files / folders etc that might have been created during installation of MS Reader. Not sure if it would help but hey, cleaning your memory is anyway a Good Thing!

Hope it helps! :)

[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] brykins:
I have the same problem - have an MDA Compact upgraded to 1.12 and the big storage hack. Have installed, uninstalled, re-installed, soft and hard reset and MemMaid'ed and everything and nothing I can do gets rid of the "3" and "4" in place of "<" and ">".

I even did a clean hard reset, installed only MS Reader, soft reset and they were still there. Any other suggestions?
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] ill-tempered:
Did you install the MS Reader on the storage card? in that case use the computer to browse to your Microsoft Reader directory on the pocket pc and copy the font files (TTF) to your windows\fonts directory on ppc. soft reset and re-load the program.
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] brykins:
That did it! Thank you so much....these little things get really annoying sometimes :-)
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] ill-tempered:

[General Questions and Answers] ErSelbst:
Hey hey!

Hab von nem Kumpel ein originales Samsung Galaxy Tab (GT-P1000 16GB mit Sim) gekauft und wollte ein aktuelleres Android draufflashen - Laut Kies war 2.3.3 das aktuellste :ugly:

Wollte Cyanogenmod 9.1 drauf machen mit dieser Anleitung: cpkb.org/wiki/Samsung_GT-P1000_Galaxy_Tab_CyanogenMod_install

Das Rooten mit ClockworkMod hat schon nicht hingehauen, also hab ich nach einigem hin und her mit SuperOneKlick gerootet - nach nem Neustart war dann auch die Superuser- App installiert.

Und dann kamen die Probleme ;)

Neustart im Recovery- Modus --> Eigentlich die zip- Datei wählen und installieren. Ging aber nicht, bzw. es kam noch der originale Recovery- Modus.

Hatte dann am PC nochmal versucht Punkt 2 aus der Anleitung oben durchzuführen, aber ohne Erfolg

Inzwischen bin ich völlig aufgeschmissen:

Beim Booten geht das Tab in den Recovery- Modus - dafür habe ich diese Anleitung gefunden: android-hilfe.de/root-hacking-modding-fuer-samsung-galaxy-s-plus/272328-reboot-recovery-problem-loesung.html, aber beim Flashen kommt der Odin Multi Downloader v4.43 nur bis "<1> setup connection..." - auch ein bekanntes Problem mit vielen Tipps dazu (bin seit vorgestern am Probieren und googeln), aber nichts hat geholfen

2 PCs (Win7 64bit, Win7 32bit / unterschiedliche USB- Ports / Kompatibilitätsmodus für WinXP, das Kabel hat beim Flashen davor noch funktioniert und ich habe nur das eine)

Aktuell stehen beim Timer in Odin ca. 150 Minuten - da kommt also definitiv nichts mehr.

Hat jemand noch einen Tipp, wie ich wieder was flashen kann??

Schonmal im Vorraus 1000 Dank!

stay on the 40plan,

i charge him 50, and half of the tax....

he pays less than 70, saving him 30 a month.. i have insurance on my phone and my wife, thats 12 each for both my ONE'S, and 10 for more data on mine,,, i pay 96, i think..

i rather pay 100 with insurance for extra data and insurance and better speeds. i gonna bring in my cousin, and get 5 for 110... charge him 40. saving him 13 a month, so i can save more, so i can get unlimited data for 70 for my line...

Problem: I am in EE network in UK and they have got 2 available networks called in my phone "T-mobile" and "T-mobile Orange". When I am on "T-mobile Orange" it is very slow in my area during all day. When I manually switch to "T-mobile" network the connection is much better (still not perfect, 3 years ago was much much better). Thing is that phone will change network again to "T-mobile Orange" after some time or when I will change location or with another weird unknown reason for me. I have tried to change network whenever I could so maybe next time when I will be in that spot it will choose "T-mobile" over "T-mobile Orange", but no luck. It randomly changes to "T-mobile Orange" almost every time when I do not look on my phone just to annoy me :).

[Sony Xperia Miro, Tipo (Dual), J, E] hsr0:
Check the contents of the zip file, if it contains a .ftf file inside it you have to extract and use flashtool to flash it.

If it contains an updater-script then its probably a recovery flashable file, which means it won't work using flash tool.

If you rename and try, you most probably will get an error from the flashtool.

But i doubt its possible to brick your phone that way though

Not good news guys :(

Here's the link: http://www.miui.com/thread-1242837-1-1.html

As we know, since MIUI 4.0, the MIUI devs found some brick issues on LT26i (XPERIA S), so they paused the official support for XS.

And they said they'll look into it after XS got 4.1 upgrade, to see if MIUI 5.0 is suitable for XS.

But now they announce that there are still issues on LT26i, so they officially stopped the developement for XS, and we will never get any official support from MIUI devs ever again.

So that's it. One less rom to work with...:crying: quite sad because MIUI is really a special rom for XS (in my opinion).

Let's move on and try other great roms instead.

P.S. Of course you can still always try the MIUI which is built on CM10 on the forum. But it is not official.
