n00b questions from a not so n00b... - Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)

ok i had the epic 4g touch (sprint's galaxy s II) and i understood everything about that phone i even made some ROMs for it...
could you go over everything?
like what ODIN to use? will the one for the sII work? (found)
how to get into download mode? (found)
" " " " recovery mode? (found)
what is the easiest way to root?
what about CWM?

How about you go read some stickies in the dev forum. Everything is explained as long as you take the time to read.

you should probably post this in the Q&A Section but...
The easiest method to enable root access is probably through the toolkit which is stickied in this forum
The Flash Counter gains a number everytime you flash a custom kernel or rom.
I have no idea what you mean by your third question
It is capable to flash stock through Odin or through the toolkit.
Good luck!

Clockwork mod instead of Odin

So I use Odin and the snapdragon tool kit to root my phone. I have the stock rooted Rom that came with the toolkit. Right now I have to use the snapdragon toolkit to install Roms but want to be able to use clockworkmod cuz I don't always have my computer with me. So is there anyway to do that? And also what is the best ROM for the sg3

Go to the following link. just download CF kernel latest version. install it using ODIN. that's it you are done now you will be able to use CLOCKWORKMOD.

There are 2 ways to access CWM
1. press VOL UP+HOME+POWER, keep it pressed till samsung logo appears, than let it go.
2. in your app drawer there will be an app CWM, open it than tap on recovery mode and it will boot in CWM.

One question and that is important..if you have a GT-I9300 international version which has Exynos chipset why are you using Snapdragon Toolkit?
and if you have any other version of S3..why are you posting it here?

You will find all you want for your Sprint S3 here
So there is no sprint sg3 help on here

MOPRAL posted a Sprint link right above you^^^^
Sprint has its own forum for the sgs3 varient.......thats where you will get help from.
we can help you, but all the files/tools/roms/and Mods are of pretty much no use to you. so it makes sense to get info from people who have the same device.
Thanks found it sorry about wrong posting

[Q] I bricked my galaxy s3

Okay so i rooted my gs3 and got through it but then i change my mind about it and wanted to unroot it, that is when i discovered that i couldn't get root access, so i thought "i'll just root it again properly this time" i know so stupid of me. So i found this tut on how to do it right and i used the file from shiyahkernel as listed on the site. So i rooted it in ofin abd got a green pass, but then my gs3 turned on beginning flashing the icon from shiyahkernel and won't stop doing that.
I can still access download mode and recovery mode. I am pretty much a noob so please go in to details
Can anyone help me?
PLEASE PLEASE HELP ME!
Go into recovery and do a full wipe or...
Flash a stock Rom from sammobile.com
There's plenty of guides in this forum on how to do it.

Note the refused warranty was by the seller .Might be worth asking Samsung if its under their warranty .

You will need to read and learn before you act. This phone is configured differently than what you are accustomed to, judging from your statement above. You won't install recovery separately on this phone, since it is built into the kernel, for instance. Most roms have flashing instructions in the OP.
Ok. Im rooted... I unlcoked it for Tmobile. and its now on 2.3.4. When i go to recovery it juts says android recovery. Im not sure if its Clockwork mod, because i havent used clockwork since the days of the Moto backflip. SO how would i go about getting Clockworkmod and then installing Slimbean.

The clear answer has already been given to you. Search for username creepyncrawly, read all the threads linked in his signature. You need to be patient, read and research for several days before attempting to flash anything. It was reckless and foolish to root before doing so.

Google Translate: "I have to throw??" , hence correct doesn't make sense at all.
