[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Stormy'sMum:
Hi All,

First time Using this site so please bare with me ;)

I'm sure people have asked this question before and i'm REALLY hoping i'm not going to piss people of by asking but wanted to do this as it would get me a faster easier to understand result (I hope)

I would like to know if there is a basic universal root out there which you don't have to flash or install custom roms etc like 'super one click' I'm not sure if this type of root has a specific name or not? I have spent the last month searching the net and i can't seem to find anything.

The reason I am not wanting to do the flash/custom rom type root is, for lack of a better word I am not smart enough :mad:

So I would hugely apreciate if someone could let me know if there is a one click type root or if not, is there any other type of way that is dummy proof and SUPER simple for someone who has relatively basic skills?

phone spec's (please let me know if I have missed something)

SAMSUNG GALAXY S3 GT-I900T

JELLYBEAN 4.1.2

Any assistance would be awesome! As I am really close to just having to give up :crying:

THANKS!!

Melissa

If you follow the instructions here you should be fine rooting with CF-Autoroot. As it happens, it is quite simple, just make sure you read the instructions and you really need root.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chrismast:
There is no huge chance of bricking whereas you never can be sure for 100% as manufacturers didn't lock their devices without reason :).

Just make sure you know what you are doing, there are also good how toes on YouTube which explain & show you step by step how to root.

In addition, after rooting, make sure you are covered regarding the SDS bug which is explained in [MENTION=2872010]rootSU[/MENTION] thread here

Hi, rooted my galaxy ace a few years back and would for 2 start just like to do the basics - uninstall factory apps im not interested in, do and sd card partition.

Was then hoping to look into other things i have not tried before and see what i can do! Didnt have a huge amount of time to play with my previous root due to upgrading to a newer phone. (which was a chinese clone and prooved to be a nightmare!)
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ashraf sharif:

Ok im almost there! BUT upon running it has given me options!? Do i want to install 'super user' or 'superSU' then it asks which exploit i want? 'Sam' frodo' or some weird name.. is 'sam' samsung??
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
I prefer SuperSU myself. Chainfire is a great dev. Its just which app acts as the root gatekeeper. They're both pretty much the same though.

I don't know which exploit.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ashraf sharif:
framaroot is by far the easiest method I have used .BEFORE YOU BEGIN go to settings /security/unknown sources make sure you check off allow installation of appsfrom sources other than play store. then my advice is first click the link in my previous post, use the newest version 1.4.3 . you can use a qr scanner, this eliminates any issues that may arise from a loose usb connection . or you can simply download from your phone directly . once the app is downloaded you can install it . open the app to find several exploits. sam,frodo,aragorn and I think a new one.i forget the name.sam and Frodo no longer work for my device but Aragorn worked for me the last time I used it. I am on the leaked test rom . so the older methods are patched and no longer work. but you should find at least one exploit that does work ..when you do you will be prompted to reboot your phone. I would suggest you install busybox next as some root applications do not work properly without busybox.. after all this you may see your about phone status has changed to modified.. this can be fixed usually by a factory data reset. although you may also need to use triangle away to reset the flash counter. your mileage may vary. good luck!

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ashraf sharif:
a workaround for this is to convert the system app to a user app . I think titanium backup pro offers that. I use rom toolbox pro to convert apps. once app is converted it should be no problem to either uninstall it , freeze it, or greenify it. hope that helps

Yeah I don't really like doing that. Too much work after flashing as it is.

It says in the moonshine vs revone that you DON'T need to flash stock Hboot to s-ON? I'm confused at one point it says to next it says not to
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ghostryder12:
Here's that section again:

"S-OFF: Moonshine vs. Revone

Revone does not install a custom hboot. So if you come here and flash my custom hboot and later go back with the backup i have here or with your own backup, you can then safely go back S-ON too.

Moonshine installs a custom hboot. So, if you come here and flash my custom hboot you will a.) loose moonshine special hboot and b.) you should also know that resetting moonshine S-OFF to S-ON is as dangerous as it is to do on my hboot, since its modded too! Moonshiners should also flash a stock hboot prior to set security back to ON."

Last sentence says to flash a stock hboot PRIOR to going s-on.

Edit: I know there are quite a few posts, but give it a read cuz someone probably asked the same type of question.

OK I've had my XDAIIs now for two months and I think it must be a faulty

one:

1. My Keyboard isn't loose

2. The phone works perfectly, it hasn't dropped or missed any calls and everyone can hear me fine

3. It never locks up

4. Battery life seems OK, 2-3 days which I can live with

5. Wi-Fi and Bluetooth signal strength seem fine

6. Activesync works perfectly over Wi-Fi, IR and USB

admittedly I've junked all the O2 stuff, but what's going on............?!?! :lol:

Same here but with the caveat that I've never synched over IR and I had my first total lockup since November on Sunday - I suspect it was my farting about with Sprite.

So far it's been at least as stable as my old symbian based P900 but the synch software actually works!

hello all! this is my first post here but i have been a long time fan of this webstie.. I wanted to ask if someone knew or can help me with my problem.. So every time i reboot my phone all the apps that are stored on my sd card don't show up in the folders i created in my home screen. (for example)... in my games folder in my home screen every time i reboot my phone the only games that reamin in the folder are the ones that are stored in the internal memory but not the sd card...same thing goes for all my other folders... so everytime i reboot i have to move all the apps back to their folders... anyone know that is causing this? by the way i'm not using any rooted apps like link2sd to move my apps to the sd card..just using the regular way with the new update! thanks for all your help! cheeerss
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cj3waker:
Hey guys, first post here. A little backstory: I got a tf300t through work and really have not liked it, pretty much only used it for the kindle app. It was/is suuuuperrrr slow. Even as I type this on balanced mode on a single tab with just pandora in the background there is noticeable lag after my keystrokes. Anyways I started perusing the thread on cromi-x and it really (combined with data2sd) seemed to bring this guy to life. So I decided to go all in, I purchased the keyboard dock which arrived today and rocks, a nice sandisk class 10 microsd, and a legit mount for my car.

My intended uses will be media playback (audio and youtube) web browsing, car gps (toying with navfree now, pretty sweet) and as near to pc replacement as I can get this to be, but Id prefer to do less at a faster rate than bog this thing down to a slow speed if it can't handle it (as it seems to be now)

So with that said I perused the cromi-x thread for hours and still have a few questions.

1) I am currently on 4.2.1 and 10.6.1.15.3 but I have ran the official asus bootloader unlock and my device shows unlocked in the top left upon boot. Am I ready to install cromi-x or will it not work with the unlocked bootloader, and if so is the TWRP flash to 4.2.1 going to set me up where I need to be?

2) The data2sd mod seems essential, this is a kernel mod though right? So it would need to be done before the cromi-x flash? Or is it just an app? And if so can it work retroactively (i.e I install some stuff and then install data2sd and it will move everything possible to the sd card that was already installed)

3) Especially now that I have the keyboard Im trying to make as pure a pc browsing experience as possible, and found a script that forces chrome to load desktop sites instead of having to ask each time, but it requires a root, installing cromi-x will root the device right?

4) In regard to my pc experience is there a browser you guys would recommend over chrome? Not having flash is frustrating, and if there is a better browser for flash and desktop experience I'd love to hear it.

5) Is there another "essential" mod that I am missing, Id like this thing to run quickly for my intended uses without sacrificing (hopefully gaining a bit with cromi-x) battery life?

6) Is there a keyboard you guys recommend that works well with the dock? the asus keyboard lacks some customization that I imagine must be out there. I'd like to be able to turn off the click pad sending me to a menu or back with middle and right click respectively.

I think that's all for now, Im sure Ill have loads more questions soon though when I brick this thing trying to flash

Thanks,

Chris

[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] codygs83:
Yeah pa's pie kinda blows. I tried it after using liquid's pie, did not like it at all. That fullscreen with no notification bar is no good at all. I still use liquidsmooth and have no issues and much more customization options with pie.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] reicute789:
i kinda like pa's pie. but it's the only rom i've used so far. so yeah.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] Paddington:
I haven't tried LS in a while. Probably not since January-ish on a GS3. What makes its pie different? I use PA because it is the only custom ROM I've run that performs as well as stock--but as I said, it's been a long time since trying LS.

OP, this doesn't answer your question, but this is one possible solution. Have you tried 0% nav bar Pie? That replaces the navigation bar with minimal Pie, but it leaves the status bar. You can then use an alternate launcher (I've been using Nova exclusively for well over a year) to hide the status bar. With this set up, your home screen will look as if it is in full screen mode, but you can still swipe the notifications bar down and see the status bar.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] grisoxxl:
In PA setting/hybrid properties/interface change nav bar to 0% and you will have pie with status bar.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] mgorman:
That works for now. Thanks. I would still prefer a widget though
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] PJcastaldo:
What's funny about your statement is that Pie controls are based on the full screen mode in the aosp browser.. Paranoid Android is who originally merged that code and did all of the programming giving us Pie control. The other guys just took merged their code...
