No it won't

dr.m0x is right. it won't erase any personal data ... The only thing it does is (as far as i know) install a different kernel and install a different recovery program.
PS And btw it also installs the programs SuperSU and CWM
One question about this: is it true that I can't get ota updates after applying cf root? Instead I have to flash them with odin?

There may be a problem with OTA updates, if they work your device will probably be unrooted though so you just have to root it again

Well if you having this problem with OTA, you can always update via Kies which was working fine for me. I was in XXALF6 and rooted and managed to update to XXBLFB via Kies, but all modification, root and custom kernel gone.
Thanks for the help...
Went back to 4.0.3 stock rom and phone did an auto software update to stock 4.0.4 rom UK branded 27/07/2012.
ecmm brick bug app shows - no.sane chip and chainfire's got a brick app shows - unknown but not one of the reported chips with bug.
I am crapping it as have had a brick with leaked lpq5 firmware.
All I want to do is use the temporary cwm method to flash superuser and install titanium backup and all my apps.
Can anyone advise if what I suggest will be safe?

You can flash the latest siyah kernel because that's safe from brick bug kernel (3.5.2+) or if your that worried just go back to 4.0.3
EDIT: Do not use temporary cwm on 4.0.4!

Hi. I have rooted my S3, to see how it works with PS3 joystick (i am not too impressed)
I have rooted successfully via odin flash guide, but now i get strange problem.
Every now and then, when i want to turn on dispay, it works and show me that clock and then when i swipe to unluck, the phone doesnt respond.
When i power again, display dimms, and nothing happen. I cant unlock my phone, I need to hold power button to reboot, and than it is normal till i lock the screen and want to turn it on again.
My question is, how can i solve it, and if i can't, how can i get everything back to stock and normal?
Try turn off ripple effect in setting, see how it goes.

First of all, try disabling lockscreen entirely.
Then try performing a full wipe. If nothing changes, flash stock firmware via Odin. If this haven't helped, root your phone, reset bootloader flashing counter via TriangleAway, then flash full stock firmware and make a warranty claim.

As i thought, now, without changing anything, the problem goes away. But i think it will came back
I forgot one big thing!
!!!! When i first flashed PDA, i flashed it with something CF, not insecure kernel (MY FAULT). Then i got this problem but i can say that i couldnt use my phone. Only just after reboot. Then i flashed insecure kernel, al now problem is still here but it is not so often, but i must fix this.
So maybe the problem is because i flashed wrong file, so "bad" files are still here?
Is there an easy fix for this?

My problem is back, so i tried this 2 first things. To desable lockscreen entirely, and to turn off ripple effect. No, it is still not working..
Start from scratch again. Backup your data, flash original firmware with odin, root it again, triangle away if you want.

Ok now, here is my next question.
I flash original firmware form here? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1671969 Is that right or not?
Than i know now hot to root, and i think this triangle away is easy too.
And one more question, which firmware is the newest and best? This XXALF2; Firmware Info PDA: XXALF2 Phone: XXLF2 Date: 05/06/2012
I remeber that i had OTA this month so 6th month is pretty old IMO :S
You can go to sammobile.com to find the latest firmware for your country. Then follow the instructions as in the link you posted above.

Are custom roms for s3 better than original? I had HTC Hero for almost 3 years and i had custom roms for it but it was only because i wanted it to be faster and smoother
For me, yes custom roms are better than original stock rom.

i want to do factory reset so i can customize phone how i want and delete all pics, musics ... i should go to Settings > Back up and reset > Factory data reset, it's easy but i have question: i know for emmc bug, but i'm not 100% shure what he's doing, i know he is on stock 4.0.4 kernels, i have Model: i9100, Android version: 4.0.3, Baseband version: 3.0.15-I9100XWLP7-CL340913 [email protected] #3, Build number: IML74K.XWLP7, is safe to do factory reset ? and do i have emmc bug with that kernel and stock 4.0.3 rom ? Thanks and sorry if my english is wrong

If you're on 4.0.3, you dont have the emmc bug. but you can always download the got brickbug app from the playstore and check, just to make sure.

I don't get that, my old s2 is on ics rooted with c.f. root. I've checked & the brickbug app says I have the bad chip but you say 4.0.3 is safe???

To be 100% safe, first flash a custom kernel like siyah via Odin. Then you can factory reset your phone without worrying.

From what I'm given to understand the app just checks the firmware and compares it to a known list of 'bad' chips.
If you're on gingerbread you surely have nothing to worry about.
However if you plan on rooting your phone don't directly flash siyah. There are guides in the general section. Look through those.

My phone is already rooted and the thread in post 5 is talking about 4.0.4 firmwares. isnt there anyway to solve this emmc bug problem?
brickbug ONLY applies when wiping data on STOCK 4.0.4 kernel... If you are on gingerbread or ics 4.0.3, you wont be affected.

I want to flash siyah kernel, what is a better way, to flash it via odin or to install it via recovery?
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda premium
Flashing via recovery won't increase custom binary counter.
I dont care for that because my flash counter is already increased so i have yellow triangle but im ok with that, if i flash siyah v4.1.5 can i back to samsung stock kernel and how?
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda premium
Sure, by flashing stock firmware via Odin.
Hey guys n girls.
I've been experiencing a copy n paste bug on my device. It seems to have appeared after downloading an update of sorts after the main ICS update. I am running everything official. I am on 4.0.4 which is ICS I believe.
Has anyone else experienced such a problem and have you solved it?

Ive searched the forums n it doesnt seem to be a common bug. My phone is 100% official. It has been a while back and i unrooted it so i could do the official ICS update. I wiped the cache and delvik cache and reset everything. This is the only problem i have. That and sometimes i get thin black lines on my screen everynow n then but they seem to disappear after locking the phone.

Sorry this particular issue is pretty unknown and most likely an issue with your particular firmware or maybe of the app you used, if the copy/paste bug appears in other apps also, then it's definitely a firmware problem, I myself have used ics stock and didn't have the mentioned problem as so do several others, I recommend you download an official firmware of your region and carrier(if any) and flash it via Odin, you don't need to worry about warranty as flashing stock won't trigger the flash counter, i recommend you follow a guide if confused as there are several available, or try custom firmwares to your tastes.

Thanks for your reply. Its a bug across everything. I use unbranded official firmware. Should I flash different firmware or the same? Attached is a screenshot of the About Phone menu if that helps.

Its upto you to decide, if you have warranty, installing the same firmware is recommended, because most probably the problem will be with your installation on the device, not on your regional version of the firmware, but if it happens again then it's a problem with the regional version. So if after flashing your regional version you have the problem repeating, installing an unbranded stock of other regions like UK or Australia or India will solve your problem.
Have you checked for eMMc superbrick bug for your phone, if you have an insane or unsafe chip, don't flash stock ICS 4.0.4 because it's stock kernel contains the code for eMMc Cap erase command which will brick your phone on any type of wipe, reset, erase command and after a flash you will usually have to perform a factory reset to avoid a boot loop. You will have to use a lower version like stock 4.0.3 or gingerbread. I repeat don't perform a factory reset until you check your phone for brick bug (there's an app available in play store).

There is no warrenty on the device so im not worried about it tbh. I've checked the chip using the "eMMc check" app on the app store and i have an insane chip. So the option is to flash 4.0.3 or earlier? Also would I have to factory reset / wipe data before flashing the old firmware?
