Im thinkin about rooting my i9300 and I read chainfire stopped supporting custom recoveries. I just wanted to know if, using CF-Auto-Root which keeps stock recovery, i could still flash STOCK firmwares?? (different than mine since i cant officially have JB yet and i wanna give it a try). Sorry if this is a noob question, im new around here.
Yes you can.

Hi, as the title says. Do I have to root my phone before flashing a pre-rooted rom? In this case ICSSGS RC3.1
I have a Galaxy S on stock Gingerbread 2.3.3
Thanks in advance!
Yes or no will do...
You have not gotten an answer because your question is dumb.
You would have to be rooted to flash a rom in the first place

I have a unlocked galaxy note i717 gingerbread 207. Orginally it was locked to telus but now im using it on the rogers network. So how would I get ICS? Do I have to wait for the telus release or rogers? I also heard it better to use a custom ics rom. So when I unroot my phone what is the best ics rom out there at the moment?
Why are you unrooting? As to which rom is best is in the eye of the beholder

U got it backwards. I think u just got ur words mixed up. Rooting gives you super user contral and flashing cwm allows u to flash custom roms. Read the general stickies for more information.

This helped me a TON.
I've already rooted my phone. But now I'm stuck in the next step : Install "Clockworkmod recovery" because it doesn't works with Gingerbread.207 version. I didn't find an answer to this problem and it seems that installing "Clockworkmod recovery" is an important step before installing a new ROM. I just want to inform you about it.
It's never easy for canadian version of mobile phones to use the same rooting and flashing tools than worldwide phones. We really have less choice for custom ROM and the few really good ROM are made for US users. Well, if I find something, I'll let you know.
Hi all, (this is my first thread)
I wanted to ask a couple of questions about which I am confused...
I am currently running stock 4.1.1 on rooted international galaxy s3..
Q1. Is there anyway I can get 4.1.2 OTA Without unrooting?
Q2. I am not sure whether the country I bought my phone from has got the update yet... So is there anyway I can check that...
P.S I got my phone from dubai..
But I live in India...
Thanks.

Give a try to the temporary unroot option in the superuser app...
Not guaranteed to work...
Download stock rom through sammobile.com and flash through odin only...

If you already have CWM recovery why not use CWM to flash a custom 4.1.2 rom thats based on Stock firmware (like Android Revolution HD)?
Thats just as easy, has more support, rooted and you'll have future updates faster as well.
I already downloaded omega v34 but didn't flash it because people have lot of issues with it.. Lag, random reboot etc. Stock rom will be more stable I guess..
I haven't tried revolution though...
I'll try it now..
Any other rom you recommend?
Thanks!

Try Omega for urself and see how it works...

I had the same experience, Omega had loads of launcher redraws and sudden lag. No such experience on ARHD with Perseus kernel. That kernel now even has the exynos exploit fixed.
Nope, all other roms i've tried i never used more then a few hours.
Can you give me a link to the ARHD page?
Thanks!

Yeah, everytime you flash the stock image, you'll have to root the phone again... but so what?? I have my mobile sine 8 weeks and i think i flashed it 10times now, and lots of custom-rom installations, configuring the phone etc....
It's not a hard work, you just have to read carefully BEFORE you start rooting, modding or whatever. This forum is awesome and till now i really found an answer to my questions everytime without bothering the ither guys with a question that is already answered a thousand times just have to use the search... so, good luck and have fun with your rooted mobile. By the way, i recommend the Omega-ROM for galaxy S2 and S3, the guys are.doing a great job with their ROMs. If you own a S3 LTE (i9305) i recommend the Pandoriam ROM, works best for me
Best regards

Haha.. Thanks buddy.
Btw, I am not new to rooting, I have flashed at least 15 rom's on my old phone(galaxy ace)
But I was not a member of XDA then.. I just used to read....
But since s3 is much more expensive I wanted to be absolutely clear about the smallest of things...
Because with great power comes great responsibility.

Hi. im new in this selection. yesterday i bought i9100. now i got android 4.1.2 branded by orange and i need to change it to cm10 and and CWM6. i cant go to recovery by combinations buttons (im not noob, previous phone galaxy mini2 with many mods). download mode working so i put unbranded stock 4.1.2 and i need to know how (where download) CWM without bugs and where i can download lastest stable cm10 without any bugs. i dont have warranty so there no way to any error. some tutorials are welcome. thx for reply.
You can flash any kernel to get CWM.
I've heard PhilZ kernel working best with 4.1.2 at the moment, but also there are DorimanX, Siyah and many more..
Flash one of them with Odin (download mode) and then you will probably have access to CWM.
you should be able to access the stock CWM, but if you can't you might want to look into what causes that problem before rooting.
i do it 3h after i write op btw. thx. in galaxy mini 2 bootloader etc is easiest to using good luck and thx for respond bro.

You know how flashing works, you only need to know how your new device works.

Am I right to presume that I can flash this via sg2 recovery and it will replace the recovery with philz recovery
Also does this rooting method stop the emmc brick bug?

I believe philz has patched that particular problem.....read the thread thoroughly and see if you can find reference to 'emmc cap erase command'.....I *think* this is the command code that causes the problems........
