[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] HeroCC:
OK, thanks. Using these methods, what one does not require you to do a factory reset? And is there a way to completely backup my phone before I root? Thanks for the info!
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] shortydoggg:
None of them require a factory reset.

Technically, modifying the phone's software in any way can void your warranty, and technically you are not rooted until you have modified the phone to obtain superuser permissions through the operating system. I'm assuming that you want a backup before obtaining superuser permissions, or rooting. The only way would be to flash a custom recovery through Odin, which also modifies the phone and trips its flash counter, which signals that you modified something and still voids your warranty. That flash counter can be reset later, however.

So to answer your second question;

Can you make a backup of your phone before rooting? Technically, Yes.

But can you make a backup of your whole phone without modifying the phone in any way and possibly endangering your warranty? No.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] HeroCC:
OK. Thanks. This is what I needed. I will now list my plan of action. Let me know it you think it is good! My device is the Galaxy s3 ATT. I just realized that my warranty expires in December. I thought it already had, so I am going to wait until it is done. This is what I am going to do in December.

1. Download Rom Manager

2. Use Carbon/ Helium to backup.

3. Use ROM Manager to install ClockWork mod Recovery.

4. Perform Nandroid backup.

5. (Optional) install CyanogenMod.

I will add more as I think of them. And all of the above will work without a factory reset? Thanks!

Unrelated: Is there a z4mod for my phone? I saw it had temp root and may use that to use titanium backup before I start this.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] aybarrap1:
If you are not rooted you will not be able to use ROM manager or any other app to install a custom recovery. You need to use ODIN to achieve this without root. Since you are on Jellybean most likely, going into a custom recovery will trip your counter no matter what. I would highly recommend using CF auto root to root since you lose no data. It will trip your counter but this is likely to happen no matter what you do.

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] blaker13:
You can easily root your phone without tripping your counter. There are so many parts on this, and exactly what you're talking about. Just read the forum posts and everything is answered.
[Galaxy Note II General] yahyoh:
here is a comparison between Samsung low light mode in TW camera VS real night mode in very low light situation ( 12 AM ) :p

TW stock camera

:silly:

Auto : ISO : 1250 , Shutter speed : 1/17

Low light : wont record exif data :eek:

LG camera app

:good:

Auto : ISO : 1250 , Shutter speed : 1/17

Night mode : ISO : 640 Shutter speed : 1/2 :D

as u can see how crappy low light in TW camera compared to real low light mode with slower shutter ( but slower shutter mean u need steadier hands ;) )
[Galaxy Note II General] quertiy:
I don't understand. Tw camera low light mode versus real low light mode? What does that mean??
[Galaxy Note II General] yahyoh:
I don't really know how TW low light mode work but it seems take multi exposure pics and bind them , while normal low light get the shutter slower to get more light into the sensor with less noise :)
[Galaxy Note II General] 3vo3d:
So how exactly do you do that what settings do you alter on the phone?
[Galaxy Note II General] yahyoh:
in stock TW cam from shooting mode ( low light ) , in lg camera app from scene mode ( night )
[Galaxy Note II General] yahyoh:
......... :)
[Galaxy Note II General] Crussader87:
I still don't get it, you are comparing the stock camera low light mode to what exactly??
[Galaxy Note II General] yahyoh:
to old night mode with lg camera app :p

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=rubberbigpepper.lgCamera
[Galaxy Note II General] Crussader87:
Thanks! And on overall it gets better pics in different conditions than stock camera as well??

I would like to try it on a CM Rom to see the quality, there is no app that convinces me apart than stock, thats why I always come back to Samsung based roms...
[Galaxy Note II General] bunnybash:
How are you controlling the shutter speed?
[Galaxy Note II General] rikken:
Why don't you compare using night-mode in both camera ?
[Galaxy Note II General] yahyoh:
because there is no night mode in TW camera :rolleyes:
[Galaxy Note II General] yahyoh:
i don't :p
[Galaxy Note II General] rikken:
Of course there is. Camera-settings-scene mode- night ;)
[Galaxy Note II General] mat9v:
So where in LG Camera can you select ISO or shutter speed? Because I can't find it anywhere. TW camera can select ISO between 100-800 or auto (that can autoset higher than 800). Do you have some special version of LG Camera?
[Galaxy Note II General] yahyoh:
huh ?
[Galaxy Note II General] yahyoh:
U cant control either of them :/ , in TW cam u can control iso but its useless in low light

night mode automatically will get the shutter slower than auto + some magic processing :D
[Galaxy Note II General] rikken:
Scene mode and scroll down :)

Did anyone make visualble the Extended ROM of Jasjar?

I can't do that yet!
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] RAGOv:
Hi...

I don't think that JasJar have an extended ROM,since it's got Magneto as the original operating system...This means that it uses the ROM chips for 2 purposes:operating system,and the rest as storage since it's got persistent memory...

Am using Magneto on my Himalaya since the beginning,and never had an extended ROM...unlike SE I used to have on my device...

RAGO :lol:
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] Asukal:
Hi!

Thanks, i also have been used Himalaya with WM5.0. but it has Extende ROM, and i accessed.

And Jasjar, after hard reset, the installation of cabs files can be seen.

So think it has,but not sure....

those installation CABs were not in the visualble rom. i hope it exist.

i want to teke the MMS client from Jasjar for my Himalaya!
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] RAGOv:
Hi Asukal...

Do u mean u have ms_.nbf on Himalaya running Magneto,or u mean by extended ROM the 15 MB that became storage now..?

Concerning the installation of cab files on JasJar,do u think it's the 2577 folder method that M$ use,or u think that it has an extended ROM that u can install by flashing like ms_.nbf...?

Then probably ur right...and JasJar have extended ROM hidden out there in ROM,that runs the cabs after hard reset... :?

RAGO :lol:
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] joebongo:
Ok, so if you see the installs start after a hard reset, can you soft-reset before it kicks in and avoid the operator-spam programs being installed? Or is there anything vital in there which means you have to take the branding?

Extended ROM Questions

First, what are the chances of repartioning the DOC to capture the extended ROM area (apparently 10 Megs) to system storage? (Buzz?) That would be very nice indeed.

Second, does anyone know what all these extended ROM files are?

autorun.exe

Default_Backgammon_ppc_imam001.cab (obvious)

Default_caavppc_lic_imei_range.cab

Default_CAB-Shortcut-CDL-04Aug05.CAB

Default_Enable_VT_RTPlugin_0727_2_signed.CAB

Default_Imate_PPC_SA_V5.5.03.cab

Default_Signed_Service_Icon_Order.sa.CAB

Default_Signed_SSD_Shortcut_WWE.sa.CAB

Default_Signed_UNI_CDL_UAProf.sa.CAB

Default_Signed_Version.sa.CAB

Default_Skypeforpocketpc.cab (obvious)

install_tsk.exe

Setup.exe

I'd like to know if any of these can be trashed to save space. Currently I have the phone setup with none of these cab files and it seems to work fine. Scype is obviously missing as is a custom phone skin. I don't know what else is in these files, though.

[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] Asukal:
Now i got more simple way to unlock extended ROM,

1;Make a Hard reset wirh "Clear Memory" program, or both 2 Menu Key+Stylus.

2;After finish initializing stylus alliance, Make a soft reset with Stylus again before begin Eextended ROM files install.

This action make Unlock the Extended ROM with out using Unlocker.

But not visualble.

3:Then install Total Commander and Start it.

4;You can type the File path "Extended_Rom" onto the blank line.
