guys, i need help, pretty new to applying in "PLANS" or "CONTRACT" or whatever, I plan to apply for a 1500/month contract on smart tomorrow for a nexus 4, will I pay exactly 1500? and will they hand me the phone after applying?
[Off-topic] brydavok:
Are you done submitting the requirements they are asking?

From what I know, Smart is more strict when it comes to approving plan applications. They will ask you for some requirements like Electric bill, 1 month payslip etc. If you have credit card, you'll have lesser hassle applying.

They will only ask you to pay after complying and when they're done w/ the background check.

Oh! about the phone, if they stock on hand you can immediately get one after the process but if not, there's a waiting time w/c is usually 3 days to 1 week I think. Correct me if i'm wrong..:p
[Off-topic] Groot:
background check? but I'm new, and when I inquired on Friday the agent said that if I'm a student, I only need a Savings account or a credit card, and also, he said that savings account may not be mine, maybe owned by one in my family and now I have the saving account from my sister, and the application form filled up, am i good to go or what?
[Off-topic] Groot:

Well i pay for my plans, though.

I personally prefer globe over smart, it's cheaper and better in terms of mobile internet reliability,

1500 for 2 years is indeed to much in my opinion but if you can afford then go for it.

Rooting your phone...from your phone (what?!)

DISCLAIMER: I do not expect anything to go wrong as I have personally tested this. However, YOU are choosing to make these modifications to your phone so I DO NOT take responsibility for any damage that may come as a result of using this. If you come back and point the finger at me, I will laugh at you.

If your phone is not an SGS3, this MAY still work for you. I take absolutely NO responsibility either way.

Download the attached zip file AND both apps.

Install Terminal Emulator and Superuser (use a file manager, navigate to the downloaded .apk files and click on each file to install them).

Open up Terminal Emulator and type the following commands. Press the ENTER key after each command.

cd /path/to/motochopperDir
cat setup.sh > /data/data/jackpal.androidterm/setup.sh
cd /data/data/jackpal.androidterm
chmod 755 setup.sh
./setup.sh /path/to/motochopperDir

From there, my setup.sh script will handle the rest of the process. If you are still unsure, see my sample run below.

Sample run (files were extracted to /sdcard/moto)

cd /sdcard/moto
cat setup.sh > /data/data/jackpal.androidterm/setup.sh
cd /data/data/jackpal.androidterm
chmod 755 setup.sh
./setup.sh /sdcard/moto
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
Just in case its true...

I heard that they've patched against the Motochopper exploit either in later 4.1.2 builds like MD5 or starting in 4.2.2.

I haven't been able to confirm either way but in case it does affect MD5, I thought I'd go ahead an mention it.

If so, downgrading would solve it of course.

I kinda doubt itll be necessary since we were able to use this to root the T999L. (Its a 4.1.2 build, but is about 4 months older than MD5 from what I can tell)

Anyway, thanks man! Always cool to see new ways of doing something!

Can anyone say if any of that is true for certain?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] CNexus:
OTAs always have a potential to break exploits like motochopper. Even more so since this device was not "officially" supported to begin and it was only discovered as a side-effect.

If you are on an MD5 based rom, you can easily test it. Go into recovery, make a backup real quick. Then, using a root browser, delete the /system/xbin/su file. Follow the instructions in the OP as if you were rooting for the first time. You can always restore your backup/reflash your rom if it does not work.

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
Yeah, I'd give it a lityle more time though. Things like this eill be slowing down I think since most who are already here are already rooted, and the flow of new s3 users is slowing due to new devices coming out.

I actually think if we can get someone with the T999L to try it it'll get more use. We already know the exploit you employ works for it and all new s3's will be the T999L. So most who may need it will likely have that model.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] aamir123:
So I did it again using the reset button but it didn't work when checking with root checker app. Do I have to boot into recovery once I follow all directions? What happens if I don't

After rebooting, go into a terminal and type "su"

Please check pm I don't wanna hijack this thread.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
Ok, I have tried a few different things and this is still not working for me. In case it helps this is what I have observed so far.

You mentioned that the Terminal Emulator from Jack Palevich uses shared permissions on its data directory. It may be I just cant see it from Root Explorer, but the permissions appear to be the same as any other app in /data/data/

After completing all steps, but before rebooting, I checked and did not find su in the /system/bin directory.

Always displays "Failed" except when..........(read on)

I copied all four items to /data/data/jackpal.androidterm (busybox, pwn, su and setup.sh) and ran chmod 755 on each one.

I then entered this:

./setup.sh /data/data/jackpal.androidterm

Everything seemed to run without a hitch.

It did NOT display "Failed" when doing it like this.

Unfortunately, this also did not gain root.

I reran the steps I just listed, then checked and su was still not found in /system/bin

Also, afterwards, busybox, pwn and su were gone from /data/data/jackpal.androidterm

(I checked everything both before and after reboot.)

I dont know if any of that helps, but figured it was at least worth sharing.

The only other thing I can think of to try is to downgrade my firmware to LJA or LJC (both 4.1.1) and try again. I will do this later unless someone else wants to give it a go. :cowboy:
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] CNexus:
You didn't do the command right.

It should be

./setup.sh /path/to/downloaded/and/extracted/motochopper

For example, if you extracted motochopper-mobile.zip to /sdcard/motochop, this would be the command.

./setup.sh /sdcard/motochop

The only thing that needs to be copied is the setup.sh file (that's what the "cat" command does). It handles everything else for you.

The bit about the shared permissions was me saying that normally, only the uid of 0 (root) can access the directories in /data/data. Because of the way jackpal's app

Try it out yourself. If you try to access any other /data/data/<app> directory (without going su), you will be able to do it, but you won't be able to copy anything, run anything, etc. You'll get a permission denied even if you just try to list the files ("ls").
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
Sorry if I wasn't clear enough about what I did.

I did try it exactly as you said the first 3 times and it did not work. So I decided to try a few different things. I was just sharing my observations in case anything might spark an idea.

What I was saying was that after extracting, I copied all files to /data/data/jackpal.andriodterm. (so in essence it was like extracting to this directory) Then i ran chmod on each of the extracted files in that directory. This is when it would run without the "Failed" message. I know this really had no bearing on whether or not it worked to begin with, but again, I am sharing my observations.

After trying each way without doing anything extra, i tried again, and this time i checked for su in /system/bin both before and after reboot. It never got copied to that directory, hence rooting fails.

I figured none of this would actually make it work, but thought it may help you figure out where the failure lies. Ill try to re-run on an earlier firmware after dinner and will report back on that.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] CNexus:

This tool is not working for me. I have tried several times. I always get a 'failed' msg.

I have a 2 day old brand new S3 i747 from ATT. Stock JB 4.1.1

I extracted the motochopper-mobile.zip files to /storage/sdcard0/moto/.

The setup.sh script is in the /data/data/jackpal.androidterm after it is run. The other moto related files are not there as if the script had run ok.

After the reboot superuser needs a new binary and fails when the binary update is attempted.

All other root sensitive apps fail.

I tested it by deleting my su binary and then I ran this tool and rebooted. And BAM, su was placed in /system once again and superuser was fine.
