So now we .....

1) root with framaroot

2) install recovery

3) install busy box

.........which will take us back to doh, re, me............cf root that does it all in one! ;)

This:D

[Galaxy S III General] anguslaw:
hahaha, nice video.

However, we have to admit that install app to perform those jobs are much safer and easier for people. They do not have to read through the posts to learn how to use odin and still fear that they will brick the phone or ended in boot loop.
[Galaxy S III General] slaphead20:
That's where I disagree..........we have enough problems with people not reading and not understanding............so to my mind, simple, quick fixes really are counter productive ;)
[Galaxy S III General] JJEgan:
Usual cause of a boot-loop or brick is not odin .

After root few use odin .

Standard boot loop error is user not bothering to read the faqs and guides .

jje
[Galaxy S III General] jetbruceli:
I think this is the easiest way. This is how I do it.

Framaroot

Then flash recovery using mobile Odin. Every time and it works like a charm. No computer needed.

However it kinda worries me how easy Framaroot roots the device!!
[Galaxy S III General] danarama:
I'd definitely recommend mobile Odin over ROM manager. It's not the safest app out there.

I'd still prefer to use a pc though because you're going to need it no matter what if it screws up for some reason. The guides we have here are tried and tested and engineered in such a way that a little bit of knowledge is acquired along the way. There's a lot of reading to be done but it IS essential.

As mentioned above, read the faqs. I feel that "quick and easy" is detrimental to our cause.... and its people like myself, slappy and jje who have to help people doing damage because they don't understand
[Galaxy S III General] anguslaw:
Quick and easy method that I suggested will do no damage to the phones.
[Galaxy S III General] yuezhe:
good work!

thx!
[Galaxy S III General] danarama:
Modifying /system ALWAYS carries a risk. if I were you, I'd put a disclaimer in post 1.

To have root, you need to modify /system 3 times. That's 3

1) You need to force an exploit to give you access to /system

2) You need to insert the su binary to /system/bin

3) You need the Super user apk forced into /system/app

...so please do not say "Will do not damage" because you do not know that.

Then, this only gives you root. If you want to do anything more than root, you still have to flash recovery. Flashing recovery modifies the /recovery partition. This also carries RISK.

Please be aware, you did not discover this method. It's not new, many people knew about it already. It's not as safe as you think

Oh COME ON! Why use Odin?

3 different, "simple" apps and 1 file to flash

versus

1 PC programme and a file to flash....
[Galaxy S III General] Froyo2010:
thanks

Hi thanks for your nice detailed tutorial.

I appreciate sharing your knowledge.

Cheers
[Galaxy S III General] anguslaw:
[MENTION=2872010]rootSU[/MENTION], I really have no intention to create fight here. My intention is simple, which is to provide a simple way to root for newbies.

I refer to the thread that provides the app rather then just providing the link to download the file so that people will know what they are downloading.

For newbies, I truely believe that installing app to perform the job is the easiest and safe way.
[Galaxy S III General] slaphead20:
I agree that it may be the "easiest and safest way"....however, it still leaves new people with no working knowledge of Odin, and no gain in knowledge as well........to my mind, and many others, that is a one step fast forward, 2 steps back, as soon as problems occur, you have a panicking user, with no knowledge of how to flash back to stock, posting for help here, there and everywhere.

XDA always has been and always will be a place of learning and information sharing.

I'm not here to disagree with your thread, or to show any disrespect.....I'm just making this post for people coming here looking for the elusive "quick and simple " solution.....in the hope they may read it and take time to consider if they really want to learn from the ground up or wether they want to end up in a situation where they lack basic knowledge and have to swallow their pride and ask for the the basics to be explained.....even though they are already rooted and running "da neatest Rom eva" ;):D
[Galaxy S III General] anguslaw:
Yea, let people choose what they want.
[Galaxy S III General] danarama:
I'm not fighting with you. I'm disagreeing with you.

Is it easy? Sure

Does it help users understand root? No. Quite the opposite

Is it Safe? No safer than any other method

Please try not to be too precious about your guide. We are being constructive. Its us who have to fix peoples phones. When they have no knowledge of what they have even done, its unfair for us to have to first teach them the basics they need to understand just so we can help them.

Some people just aren't meant to root but this guide gives those people the ability to root anyway and that my friend, is far more dangerous than any application or process
[Galaxy S III General] anguslaw:
Its ok you do not agree with me. But it is every individual s own will to use what method to do the job . And its their will to learn or not learn.

If they use my method and break their phone and ask for help, you can help him or not help him. If you don't help him, there is always others willing to help.

Trail and error is how human being learn. There is no "correct" way to learn.
[Galaxy S III General] danarama:
Yes but you claim this is the "REAL" way in the title. You also belittle the more official methods as "complicated" in post 1.

I'm going to stop replying now. Every time I post, this thread bumps.
[Galaxy S III General] anguslaw:
Whatever. By the way, look at how many thanks at framaroot thread and you will know how many people like that rooting method.
[Galaxy S III General] slaphead20:
Stop being so defensive young man, it isn't a popularity contest between methods, the issue is with the approach people take to being responsible for their own learning........something that is discussed broadly in the forum rules.

The simple fact is that probably 70% of posts on XDA are unnecessary if people took the time to read and learn.

Replies like...."whatever"......not only demonstrate a lack of maturity, but to older members it represents a complete and flippant lack of respect......save that for your peers, it will win you no friends here...........however,a simple and humble response along the lines of...."Ok,I understand your view point, what do you suggest I do?" might actually demonstrate a willingness to learn on your part. ;)
[Galaxy S III General] anguslaw:
I am a basketball player, when someone is playing offensive, I will defense.

:)

Actually, you and him made your point, that's ok. I didn't see any constructive suggestion made.
[Galaxy S III General] danarama:
You should have read our posts then. You need a disclaimer saying its at their own risk if something goes wrong. Otherwise they'll see it as your fault (and if you don't warn them of the risks - it is partially your fault). I mentioned this earlier. Guess you missed it.

Please add your disclaimer ASAP
[Galaxy S III General] slaphead20:
Suggestions have been made to amend your post.......and if you want an opinion as to why, here it is

You state that people should ignore all those misleading posts.

To which I would like to pose this question?

Are you inferring that Chainfires' posts are misleading? One of the most respected developers on XDA, who works tirelessly so that people across many, many devices can root their phones, are you seriously telling me that those posts are misleading?

........thought not.

Getting the picture yet? :rolleyes:
[Galaxy S III General] danarama:
Also I recommended that mobile Odin was used to flash recovery rather than rom manager....
[Galaxy S III General] anguslaw:
these 2 are your first posts!

it's funny , [MENTION=3658059]slaphead20[/MENTION]， you try to make friend with that post?

[MENTION=2872010]rootSU[/MENTION], after I read your first post, I realized people will like to have recovery too, so I added additional info immediately.

I tried to be constructive, and I just see people keep discouraging.
[Galaxy S III General] danarama:
So you did see something constructive.
[Galaxy S III General] anguslaw:
yes, that kind of suggestion I would accept.
[Galaxy S III General] danarama:
Thanks for adding the disclaimer
[Galaxy S III General] anguslaw:
Actually, you think too much. Misleading posts I refer to are those posts that telling people they cannot root their i9300 and i9305 with a one click app.
[Galaxy S III General] slaphead20:
Ok, here's a suggested amendment to the op

"I'm making this post to highlight an alternative, and in some respects, easier, method of rooting your i9300

Please note that I would still advice you to learn how to use Odin to avoid any panic if you ever have problems with custom Roms/kernels/mods.

Please also note that, as always, you do this at your own risk. "

Then add your method, this removes the inflammatory part of your op, makes it clear to people that they need to also learn and acts as the standard disclaimer. :)
[Galaxy S III General] anguslaw:
Actually, I just amended my post.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] phownage:
Seems like this app is getting popular on here.

Ill break it down 101 style for you.

It's a voip app for your phone similar to skype except that you can charge money on your phone kind of like chargeable calling cards except that its an app. The rates vary from country to country but it seems like they made most of their rates slightly cheaper than skype's for direct competition. Personally I been using it for about a week and it seems to have cut down my long distance calling bills by about 30% so far. I previously used skype for about 30-50 bucks a month.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Calee14:
Has anybody here have heard of Global Call?

phownage that's a substantial amount of savings for international calls, I'm impressed. so it's somewhat similar to skype only cheaper I get it but how cheap is it? where can I see their rates?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] phownage:
You need to install the app to see the rates or you can check on their website here. Global Call International Rates

Hi everybody. I recently moved into the top floor of a house but for some reason have terrible service. Can't even have a phone conversation. I've tried numerous radios and modems and touchwiz and aosp ROMs. I'm getting very frustrated and am looking for some ideas of what to do. Anyone experienced this or know any possible solutions? Very frustrating not being able to have a phone conversation at your own home.

Thanks
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] POL3ND:
3 options.

1. Buy an expensive amplifier

2. Use your WiFi with google voice and a program like Talkatone. Just gotta deal with the whole having a new number thing. ("hey let me call you back")

3. Deal with it
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] keynith:
I have the same issues. You could have a friend come over, with a different service, and see if they get a signal. Then consider switching carriers.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Div033:
4. Tell Verizon and they might let you switch to a different phone of equal value... Like the DNA which is better at signal.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] usmaak:
I had similar problems. When I contacted Verizon about it, they gave me a free network extender. You plug it into your existing internet connection and it uses that to make phone calls. Your connection has to support voip and they'll make you run some tests. The free one I got was refurbished, but it looks and acts completely like new. My other choice was 100 dollars off of a new one.

Got an optimus g off CL. The guy didnt tell me he converted it to mako (thats what it says on fastboot screen) I am trying to get it into recovery mode after I flashed a non mako rom on it. It won't work. So I figured I would lgnpst it. That wont recognize the phone. I'm on windows 8. Is there a special way I have to enter recovery now that it was converted to mako?
[AT&T LG Optimus G] acervenky:
Install Proper Drivers And Try To Boot In Download Mode And Usr LGNPST To Flash Stock .tot File.

Teenybins Are Excellent To Recover From A Softbrick,But If You Are Using A N4 Converted G Then You Will Have To Restock First.

acervenky,

[AT&T LG Optimus G] adfurgerson:
If your boot loader is unlocked it will say mako, doesn't have to be converted to say that. Which splash screen did it have when it first boots? If it shows LG for a second or so it is not converted. You may just not have updated rpm/tz partitions needed for 4.2 ROMs. Also lgnpst won't work with USB 3.0 for some reason, and your phone needs to be in download mode for lgnpst to work.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] pieman13:
Thanks for the fast reply guys. It was on a usb 3. Got back into cwm and restored it. Will attempt to flash the ota firmware but LGNPST can find the .dll file. I have no idea where it is.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] adfurgerson:
If you use tSilenzio's automated lgnpst it registers DLL for you, it will say ls970 but it works fine for e970, click on the little folder icon in lgnpst.

Edit...is your phone converted?
[AT&T LG Optimus G] pieman13:
No it is def not converted. Thanks again guys!
[AT&T LG Optimus G] adfurgerson:
If you are certain it is not converted then you can use teenybin file with lgnpst. It updates your partition and installs twrp. You would just need to flash your rom afterwards and be done.http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2230994

Tried that and it says path not found. assuming its talking about the dll as I had the teenybin loaded.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] adfurgerson:
Not sure what would cause that error. Automated lgnpst wasn't out when I installed it on my laptop, and teenybin wasn't out when I updated to 20j. I always selected dll first then bin. You may want to ask for help in the irc channel http://webchat.freenode.net/?channels=lg-optimus-g

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iXanza:
So my n7 was on 3.41 boot loader and everything was running fine. After updating to 4.18 my charging has been really slow. 7 hours and it went from 18% to 60%, it even dropped to 59 while it was on the charger when I used tapatalk on it this morning.

Should I reflash 3.41 boot loader or does it take time to sink in?
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GedBlake:
Hi, iXanza...

Yeah, I'd give it a few charge/recharge cycles if I were you... (takes about 4 hours for a full charge for me running v4.18).

From my limited understanding of these things, the Bootloader only handles battery charging duties when the device is fully powered down (with the white animated battery logo whilst charging).

When fully powered up, the kernel handles battery charging duties.

Downgrading to v3.41 is a retrograde step... and many custom ROMs won't work... (and by the way, you skipped an iteration; Bootloader v4.13).

----------------------------------------

I don't know how you upgraded the Bootloader (but I can think of several ways in which it could be done)... but messing around with the Bootloader makes the palms of my hands sweat:(:)!

One false step, and you have an UNRECOVERABLE HARDBRICK.

If an unexpected screwup occurs whilst flashing Custom ROM's, Kernels or Custom Recoveries, you CAN ALWAYS

fix your device via the BOOTLOADER.

But if the BOOTLOADER gets corrupted (say during it's flashing/upgrading)... there is nothing you can do to fix it.

The BOOTLOADER is the Achilles Heel of the Nexus 7. So tread very, very, very carefully, when flashing it.

----------------------------------------

So, in conclusion, I'd give it a while... and see how it goes.

Hope this helps...

Rgrds,

Ged.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iXanza:
Thanks Ged, I'll give it a few charge cycles and see.

[Sprint LG Optimus G] devo3d:
I want to know if there is a good (reliable) OC Kernel for this device that can take it up to past 2100. If there is, can I flash it on a stock flashed rooted rom (ZVB)?
[Sprint LG Optimus G] Morningstar:
I haven't seen one. Why would you want or need to overclock this phone anyway?
[Sprint LG Optimus G] _Epic:
Overclocking this phone any more than stock is unnecessary and will make it heat up that much more and faster. Hence why there isn't one at all.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] engine95:
The only kernel we have for stock, and it goes to 1.8 is this. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=38910863

If you read that thread, you'll find that this is as high as we can get. And its an awesome kernel!
[Sprint LG Optimus G] BMP7777:
I've always been a fan of OCing, but with quad-core processors, it just isn't neccesary anymore. OCing was originally a viable option because the device wasn't very fast; lags and other issues occurred because the device was trying to do things that the processor had trouble keeping up with. This is no longer the case; everybody has a quad-core device these days, it seems. There is more than enough power and speed to go around now, and OCing just puts unneccesary stress on the device. My penny and a half, for what its worth. :D
[Sprint LG Optimus G] devo3d:
On my way to check it out right now....will you please humor my ignorance on the matter and educate me on why this device can't be made to go any higher. Do you mean , "for now" or ever?
[Sprint LG Optimus G] engine95:
For now at least. Who knows what the future will bring. ;)

Evolutionmod is working on the Sprint version, and Mysteryemotionz is working the ATT version. The 2 are working together to give us all the benefits they can.

If I remember right, it's a heat and stability issue as to why we can't go any higher.

But then as BMP777 said...theres really no need for us to OC anymore. Other than bragging rights.
