I Tried to search way to root but only found guides where people were talking abour "works with android 2.3.#"
So do these ones work with andorid 4.0.4 too or is there some other way?
Thank you.

Please advise on rooting

Sorry to join the chorus of noobs asking for rooting advice when there are vids and threads galore, but I am finding this all confusing.
I have got my new S3 from the UK network Three, it is of the following spec:
Model Number = GT-I9300
Android Version = 4.0.4
Baseband version = I9300XXLH1
I would be grateful if someone could advise me of the simplest method I should use for rooting as I am confused.
I would love to also hear any suggestions on custom roms but obviously that is a secondary request!
Thanks to anyone who wouldn't mind advising me! :silly:
read the stickies in the general i9300 forum. All your questions will be answered there (including a step bu step rooting guide)
the only way that you can mess it up is if you think you're smarter than the guide and not follow it properly.

Just use mskip's s3 toolkit 6.0. Don't worry the toolkit is fool proof.

Thank you very much for your reply, unfortunately that method does not have the build version of my phone (IMM76D.I9300XXBLG8) on the list (it has XXBLG9 though lol).
Going to try XXBLG9 as it seems this is the suggestion in the tools thread. It is funny how in all these noob proof threads I follow to root my devices I always end up taking leaps of faith! I wish I had more acumen for this stuff!
Thank you very much for putting me on the right track all the same, I appreciate it!

Just read the instructions on the toolkit. It says to choose the closest build if you cant find yours. Goodluck!

[Q] Rooting s3 i9300

Hello guys
I have a S3 i9300 uk locked to three network and it has xxdlj1 build and NEDLI1 base. I need to root it but keep the branded 3 firmware and unlock it.
Iv seen the links around and most of them tell you to install custom rom first and then root with a file.
Can I just root it and not install new firmware ( its on 4.1.1). im new to this stuff and iv read a lot on the forum with a lot of help around.
Thanx for the help appreciate it.

Iv rooted my s3 using cf root 6.4 ( not auto). Its on 4.1.1. now i know that 4.1.2 is out i really like the multi tasking feature and really want to update.
The only thing is that i want to unroot know but im not sure where to start. iv read up on this site to unroot s3 i9300 (galaxys3root) and i want to go back to stock firmware. I want everything gone also the root(supersu, cwm manager also the aptoide and stuff like that. Basically so the warranty is intact again.
the method shown is it good and is it compatible with the way i have rooted? Galaxys3root
since my phone is branded to 3 network in uk can i install unbranded firmware so the 3 start up sign goes away or shall i stick to same firmware.
Appreciate the help the people give on here. Thanx alot

Need help with rooting

Hi guys,
I have a samsung galaxy s2 and i need to root this phone. It is running ics 4.0.4. I read in the threads that rooting 4.0.4 will cause trouble.
Is there any other way to root other than downgrading to 4.0.3
Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks in advance guys

Flash Odin version of Siyah kernel (search for how to/which kernel you need to use). Done. Rooted phone + CWM, you can flash whatever you like/wipe till your bum gets red.

What thread/reply have you been reading because their talking crap or you have mis-read/misunderstood.
To root your device, install cwm all you need to do is flash Siyah kernel via ODIN or one of other various ways. This has already been discussed over and over again so we dont need yet another topic just to repeat everything again.
#1 rule by XDA is to search and read topics before creating them.
This has already been discussed over and over again
so many diferent things
but what is the best gide ?

A iPhone or a Nokia 3310 would be more suitable for you since its obvious you cant even understand how to read advice, use a search button or read guides so would be completely lost when it comes to flashing devices.

Why are you also ignoring all the answers that are given above, just to fill up your thanksmeter? Answering this is just as bad as asking these questions, because you allow people to be lazy and to skip following the rules.

Does anyone have .402 for D6543 (brazilian)?

Hi, i bought my Z2 today (Claro and Vivo at Morumbi Shopping already are selling it for some days now) but i'm frustrated to find out i'm 2 versions behind the rest of the world and there are no upgrades through official methods, so i want to know if someone has already the upgrade.
I also want to know if there is anyway to root .55, beacuse all the methods i'm seeing here are for .402.
Thx a lot guys.

And you are using Android Development thread to ask that?
Use Q&A or General for this things...
All rooting methods are for 55/69, there are methods for 402 as well but first one and the one from xsasha and Doom is for 55.
You just have to read and search.
You can root your firmware using Doom rooting method, install recovery and 402 from [NUT] it's actually not impossible to miss that thread..
Also, if you Google your problem you'll find solutions all over the XDA.
What you need is just a update pack (ETC) folder and TV support).
Google that and you'll find all solutions on Z1 section in ihackers thread ROM...
