[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] cellphoner2006:
Hello fellow members of XDA,

I am new to this whole thing of rooting and installing custom rom, so I’m kind of overwhelmed. I have done some poking around prior to this post and stumbled upon the Sticky and was wondering if the “[REF] [GUIDE] Welcome to your device, the Galaxy S III - by theexel” is this the standard to what I should be following?

I have a T999 on 4.1.2. I appreciate your time, recommendations, and advice that you have to offer. Thanks!

Update:

I was hoping you could answer some questions I have for Sanranhai's stockMod 4.3. If i followed the instructions while flashing the rom + one of the modems I'm still able to go back to older roms correct? Also if i decided to cmw restore to my backup (4.1.2 image) will the modem be the one I flashed from saranhai's or will it go back to how it originally was before? Thank you for your time.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Perseus:
Yes that's a Good Guide. What do you intend or trying to do ?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] cellphoner2006:
My intention was to root, and to flash a stable rom (hopefully 4.3) for daily use, getting rid of some bloatware to speed up my phone, getting a new feel and look for me phone and increase battery life if possible. I know my model is receiving the official 4.3 but according to this forum most people don't like what Samsung did to it. Since I'm still in the earlier software version, I thought I'd give custom roms' a try.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] HoustonsBirdman:
If you are looking for a pretty good stable 4.3 ROM I'd recommend Saranhai's StockMOD 4.3 .. I used it as my DD (Daily Driver) the past month but have been on Doc's 4.3 ROM before that (they both use the same Base and Doc had to stop because he Bricked his S3 fiddling around with new things).. .. I wouldn't recommend doing the Official 4.3 Update, many people updated and the problem is you can NOT downgrade firmware afterwards, yes flash other 4.3 Roms but no downgrading.. Also the whole Warranty Bit isn't attractive to people.. ... Last night I flashed CM11 4.4.1 (KitKat) and been using it since then. So far I am very happy with it, everything that I MYSELF use daily hasn't had any flaws. Batter life has been decent also but their have been mixed results.. If you're gonna take the leap into rooting/flashing just remember to always read the OP's instructions as well as make sure its for YOUR device (ie: T999, T999L, etc).. Reading and educating yourself is key!
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] cellphoner2006:
I'll give rooting a try after I'm done with finals. What sort of things do i need to backup for safety measures as that guide isn't very detailed in that aspect of how to do it and what I WILL WANT to backup.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Perseus:
You are not at risk of loosing the Data. But if you feel like it, please mae sure your contacts are successfully synced to Google. If there are Games whose progress or score you want to back up then do that. Apart from that the usual pictures and music stuff.

Try My Backup app. It will let you make a backup even if you are not rooted.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] anil2653:
One more thing you do is to move all your required data like photos etc to your ext sdcard as 4.2 and above version will create a folder 0 where your new data will be available
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] cellphoner2006:
So Im assuming I have to root first before I can install a rom. According to the sticky guide I should be following this http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1771687 but, there's a note in bold that said "Do not flash a prior release after flashing this, it has been reported to cause bricks, read the thread for more information." Does that mean after using that latest version to root my t-999 i cant go back to older roms?

The guide also recommend i should start with 4.0.4 roms, should i ignore that?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Perseus:
You assume correct. You need to root first. Take the Guide advice. Do not Try to flash latest 4.3 version of Root66. Use the 4.2 version instead. So long you stay completely away from Samsung's release of 4.3, you will do fine.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] RebDovid:
Why should one stay away from Doc's 4.3 version of Root66?

Does this advice apply equally to saranhai's StockMOD?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Perseus:
You can use Doc's Leaked Rom or Saranhai's StockMod just fine. No issues there. Only thing you should remember, is that if you use the Root66 4.3, it will update your Bootloader to UVUEMJC. If that happens, you will never be able to flash previous bootloaders or previous Root66 versions. In addition, this new bootloader introduces eFuse and a new Warranty Counter. Those can not be reset once tripped.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] cellphoner2006:
I dont see a 4.2, did you meant 4.1.2? Also after doing this, Am i able to flash any rom's that 4.3? Lastly, samsung's 4.3 release is the official one correct?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Perseus:
You are right. Slip for me. I meant the UVDMD5 version which is 4.1.2. Yes you can flash any 4.3 Roms custom or otherwise. If you wish you can follow DocHoliday's Rooted Stock 4.3 Rom.

Samsung 4.3 is Official OTA that's correct.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] cellphoner2006:
So i've managed to root my s3 as well as install CMW, backup (took a while to figure out) and restore. <-- this is the NANDROID people are talking about right?

I am ready to take the next step now in playing with custom roms, however, I must first ask if there are any suggested guides I should read prior?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] cellphoner2006:
Hey HoustonsBirdman,

I was hoping you could answer some questions I have for Sanranhai's stockMod 4.3. If i followed the instructions while flashing the rom + one of the modems I'm still able to go back to older roms correct?

Which CWM is it? Use CWM 6.0.4.5. I would recommend you use TWRP 2.6.3.0.

1) Are you S-Off? You have to be S-off.

2) Which hboot version are you on? You have to be on 2.14 (3.18 RUU).

I mean.

I'm a Linux user and a Mac OSX user.

I Do NOT need fat32. I can read linux partition with my linux machine.

and linux ext format don't have 4G limitation.

I can even found ext driver for windows. or Mac

but I found that my android phone can't format it to ext,

I want my /sdcard in ext format.

Is that a solution for this?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xsenman:
It all depends on your phone and the default format that your phone uses. For instance Samsung use rfs (fat32) format for its stock ROM as such ext 4 will cause it (SD card) to fail, on the otherhand if you use custom ROM, it will be converted to ext 4 format when you flash custom ROM. So you need to be careful about it.

AT the same time if you have CWM, you can format your SD card too either fat32 or Ext4 format in the phone itself . so use your device specific forum to determine which ROM for your phone is capable of what format FIRST before formatting it..

Any firmware from MJ3 onwards cannot be rooted without tripping Knox status...

Options:

1) Just go ahead and trip Knox status

2) Wait for some developers to come up with another way to root without tripping Knox

3) Buy another phone with MJ1 or below firmware!

And there's always danger of bricking your phone so you must be prepared to take the risk. Good luck!

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Borden Rhodes:
I didn't search too thoroughly for the answer to this question, but I can't imagine that I'm the first asking it:

In fiddling around with adb backup and the Android Backup Extractor, I noticed that all it really seems to do is pull the Shared Preferences, Internal Storage, and SQLite Databases from every /data/data/<app>/ directory and unnecessarily box and encrypt them together (if you've encrypted your phone like I do) into a tight little package. Worse, it seems not to catch everything (like com.android.providers.contacts where your address book lives). If I simply run

adb pull /data/data localBackup

I get all of the SP, IS and SQLDBs - with the caches - from all of the apps, but with the benefit of it not being stuck in an over-wrapt file and knowing that I've gotten every app. My phone is rooted but does one need root access to do this from ADB?

I have two questions:

What advantage does adb backup have over adb pull /data/data? The latter seems much safer (as in it's easier to check if it's been done properly) and restore (simply push the pulled data back into its folder)

What user settings and/or information is not included in /data/data, aside from the obvious data on the /sdcard? Put another way, would a copy of /data/data and /sdcard be a sufficient backup of all of my phone's data? (notwithstanding needing to reinstall the original APKs and ROM)

[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] superbay:
I guess it should be possible for xoom. The problem might come from the type of your otg or your flash drive. Some flash drives theoretically are not readable in android device since they require bigger power source, especially those above 8gb. Yet, i have never encountered flash drive not readable in Xoom with otg since I think Xoom can provide more than enough power for anything plugged in it. I even have my Xoom handle flash drive, mouse, and usb keyboard with my multiport otg and all work normally.

However, you might consider such reason for flash drive not recognized in Xoom. Maybe you can try using your otg and flash drive in the other android device to see if they do work. Or at least try plugging flash drive with smaller capacity such as 1 or 2gb

If i may know, what app do you use to mount external HD? Mine does not even spin when I plug it to Xoom via otg.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XxLordxX:
