This will be my first Samsung phone. Coming from HTC. I know with HTC you can unlock the bootloader and them flash custom roms without having to root. Can this be done (yet) with the Samsung S3? Or is rooting the simplest way to flash roms when they come available? Until a few good ones come out I may keep my new shinny S3 unrooted.

So this is just bootloader unlock, right? Not for SIM unlock. I will need SIM unlock soon for an international trip.

Now that rooting is possible, although not a one-click experience - how many of you have rooted, what were the reasons, and what root access apps have you installed?
rooted, mainly for Titanium Backup but at least it's prepped and ready if anything else crops up!
I dont really understand what rooting does.. some one care to explain?
Thanks

It gives you full access to all the information on your phone. It lets you back up apps and data to the SD card, which isn't possible with default security settings.
In essence, it's like getting administrator access to your computer, or "root" in linux, hence the name
Hoping to get mine tomorrow. I won't be rooting yet since there isnt anything released yet worth rooting for. And... I don't suppose I'll need TB just yet since I won't be messing with the phone SINCE nothing worth messing around with is available yet. Also I'll probably wait for a 1 click root or till something worth rooting comes along, whichever happens first.

hey guys,
i flashed the imaginary rom for galaxy ace using cw recovery. when device turns on it still asks for network unlock code, the phone was locked to 3 uk, i had imagined flashing new rom woul automatically unlock it. is this not the case??
Definitely not the case. Flashing rom wont network unlock the phone.

U need to pay for it. Send it to any phone repair shop and they could do it safely. Many have said that buying unlock codes online wont work for ace, and also the online diy tutorial mostly wont work too. Even if it does works, its too dangerous. One simple mistake and u got an expensive paperweight in your hand.

No all phones don't get unlocked by rooting. Rooting means you have access to the system files, which means you can then technically unlock but it is a lot safer to go to the shop.

Interesting to hear about the htc.
But definitely not just samsung, sony too. Rooting doesnt give network unlock. Hell u need to network unlock first before u can unlock bootloader on sony devices
I rooted my mom's EVO 3D..it also got network unlocked in the process
found this post with instructions and successfully unlocked phone.

whenever you do a factory reset it re-locks the phone. so keep your unlock code handy

there is a guide on this site somewhere that I used to unlock my ace. I wish I bookmarked it but I didnt, however it wasnt very hard to do, just careful care needed in following the guide step for step. Need to have right tools on pc to follow guide as it uses adb I think.
Also I needed a sim for another network to get the unlock code prompt up so I could actually unlock it, that was easy as I have different network sims here anyway.
ok found it here.

to get the unlock prompt to show up without different simcard, just use this code

How is the new fw? Several updates have been available for download but you are the first one to give a description. Thanks for this!
I flashed the ML4 fw via ODIN and what I immediately noticed is a more responsive home button. I was beginning to suspect hardware problem but this update hopefully proved me wrong.

Yes mate, it Seems a bit more responsive for sure and battery seems to last a bit longer too.. Just the third day but battery lasting more I am sure as I lost only about 4% at night (with 3g on), when previously I use to lose around 10%.
Let's hope we get 4.3 or 4.4 soon.

Don't think update is available to rooted devices although the message you are getting shows that you might be able to download the update just keep trying and within 48 hours you will get this update for sure.

Battery backup seems to have improve a lot with this update:
This is when I am using my phone with 3g always on (but for 6 hours at night) and 6 emails always on sync.
Don't play games though so that might be the reason for such good battery life.

@hardik190 since you are already doing flashing why not just download the latest firmware from samsung-updates.com then flash thru odin? after that you can root.Also if your recovery is custom and not stock your status will always be custom even with triangle away,

I just tried kingo root on ANA1 it says "Roor failed Not Support".
their support team helped me the first time I rooted, my problems came from internet connectivity, kept loosing it during their root process
my mega isn't in front of me to tell you which version but it's the one from metro
also you have to keep your eye on the phone and the computer, there might be permission notices on the phone and some disconnect reconnect notices on the computer,

There's easy way to root and install custom recovery (TWRP) available in the forum hence I won't bother with the kingoapp.

Twrp is good but kingo is one click root thru windows. No need to go into download mode. No binary count increase or system status change to custom. However I think samsung had patched the vulnerability on the latest firmware thus kingo no longer works. Kingo worked on older fw.

Good morning/afternoon/evening, all -
I recently hard-bricked my S4 trying to flash. It came up as a QHSUSB_DLOAD in windows device manager. I tried several different approaches to fix the bootloader, but eventually had to send it to a service to try to JTAG it.
He reports it still cannot boot, and has requested - from someone with a ROOTED I545 ON OC1 (do we know anyone like that?) - the following file:
Ok, you need an I545 in OC1 with root access. We need to create a dump of about 128MB. You can do this by using ADB shell and type
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0 of=/sdcard/dump.bin bs=128 count=1000000
This will create a 128mb file on the internal storage of the phone which you can copy back to the computer and send to me.

Take it from someone who worked on this device for a long time. SD Card Debrick does not not work on anything above NC5. We have all tried many times. Looks like beginning with the NK1, SBL1 no longer searches for the SD Card as a bootable device.

I know this is an older post...
I'm trying to find the same I545 OF1 adb dump to use for jtag.
I know the sdcard debrick does not work with OF1, and I already tried injecting the single bootloader partitions that are in the firmware without success.
I'm hoping the dump will solve my issue because of the PGPT, MD5 , MBR or other partitions that may be corrupted.
I am not interested in the efs /MEID..

Doesn't work for B20 either.
Max pro key release and permission
Super noob...so forgive me. I was browsing the system files and found these, (see attachment).
I was wondering if it was possible to run these as a command line in terminal, or via ADB, there in altering the permissions, or a chmod/chown. Also I found a zip with the zte release keys. I can provide the .xml if needed. i.imgur. con /WMisb8T. png sorry new so can't post link
Any news on a zmax pro root?
Hi I'm working on root with some others.
Please wait patiently. Thanks.
Awesome thank you guys! Excited!

Any progress?
Well with *Rom toolbox you could at least get the file manager that shows hidden files. Not sure if that helps I tried giving some files administrative permissions to no avail.

Have you tried OEM unlocking in your developer's options unlock boot loader ?

This will factory reset your device b sire u back it up 1st but this should allow custom rom installs and system app removal it should give you all the power of root
There is a huge thread at androidforums with over 3000 posts about trying to root the ZMAX Pro. OEM Unlocking in Developer Options would normally ALLOW bootloader unlocking (wouldn't actually unlock it, but would allow it to be done using the "fastboot oem unlock" command in ADB), but since the ZMAX Pro doesn't have the option to reboot in bootloader mode this command won't work.

Yeah I've seen that . From what I've read they're just as stomped as everyone else . This exploit is truly groundbreaking I just hope people don't give up on it yet

Does that mean it most likely never get root ?? Especially if it's already patched ? Or does that mean that some people won't get it and would be forced to downgrade firmware (if possible) in order to obtain root ?

Ill start by saying the reason root has not been achieved yet is because ZTE put a lot of effort into preventing root most likely due to cobtract terms with the carriers. This phone has been a very tough nut to crack but more progress has been made in the past month than the previous 2 years due to a security vulnerability that has been oatched by google but not yet released by the carriers for this phone. Root was almost here when i last posted but a brick wall has been hit for now. Dont let that alarm you, it is common to hit a brick wall when attempting to hack a device, this is not the first brick wall for this phone but it should be the last. The developer that is working on it is very very good and if anyone can achieve root on this phone it is him and he has a decent sized group of other experienced devs and amateurs assisting him with whatever he needs. I would suggest that you dont update your phone if your carrier releases an update because the next update released by your carrier will very likely include the patch google released. When google releases a patch for a carrier locked phone like this one, the carrier has to include it on an OTA update before it is installed on your phone. MetroPCS versions of this phone as of this date have not been updated to include the new google security patch yet as far as i am aware, however an update could be released any day as google released the patch almost 2 months ago now. Any build that ends in B21 or under has not been patched yet. You can check your build number under Settings->About Phone.
Once root is achieved me and a couple of other devs are standing by to start work on custom roms and we are in direct contact with the guy working on root and as far as i know we will release it all together. So when it happens you will get a one click root and custom recovery method as well as at least 2 custom rom options all at the same time. For the time being, be patient, once the work is done and stable root is achieved it will be posted.
