Hello Gentlemen,
Last time I managed to root my device Samsun galaxy S III (GT-I9300) via CF-Root 6.4 and it was successfully rooted,
This was the last time it has been rooted, afterwards, I upgraded and flashed a Jelly Bean 4.1.1 via Odin and found out that Root has GONE !!!
That's okay, but the most amazing problem is, the device does never get rooted no matter how many times I try to root it via the same method mentioned above (CF-Root 6.4),
I though afterwards that this is because CF-Root needs to be updated or something, so I reverted back to ICS 4.0.4 by flashing a stock md5 ROM over.
I tried the CF-Root 6.4 and found out it does not work anymore, please help me gentlemen as I spent the last night trial & error, never succeeded.
I am doing all of this just because I want to flash the HD 14 Android Revolution ROM made by Mike here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1797334
I hope there was an md5 or tar file (Odin flashable) so that it could be much easier to flash for people who are stuck with this situation.
can you post the exact file name you are trying to use to root

Can you see the su app? If not try installing it
similar problem
Hi, Im having a similar problem, I was rooted, upgraded to 4.1.1 through kies and it was rooted no more. I rooted it again and no problem. I tried a custom rom and it had an issue with wifi so I went back to stock. Now Ive loaded the stock back on and after wiping/factory reset and clear cache it still says Im running a custom binary, system status is custom also, so trying to root it again so I can reset the flash counter and load my backup but it keeps getting stuck on set up connection on odin and eventually fails.
Ive been at this all afternooon with out much luck, can anyone provide me with some guidance on this?

I can't see anything like SU or CWM or anything else, besides, I use root checker and it tells me that I am not rooted yet.
Any idea why this is happening?
Also I noticed that upgrading to Jelly Bean changes the SDCard name to Sdcard0
After flashing CF-Root with Odin, your phone should restart in custom recovery to install SuperSU and CWM app
If it's not, try that:
-Flash CF-Root with "auto-reboot" disabled in Odin
-once flash is done, unplug your phone from the computer
-restart in recovery with VolUp+Power+Home
It should trigger the apps installation process

I finally got it to flash the .tar file in odin, in odin I unpluged the phone after hitting start ( it was just in SetUpConnection doing nothing ) and when I plugged in straight away it started doing its thing. However it didnt go through and load the SU etc. So I did it over again using the above method and it worked:good:. So thanks to you Mopral!!:laugh:

I screwed up my S2 when testing different ROM:s
Now it is dead ... can't power it on - only download mode works.
I tried to install the original Samsung ROM ... but it didn't work.
Is there a way to kick it alive ?

Wipe it and then install rom from odin and after install wipe again
Thanks ... now the sun is starting to shine again.
Just some questions.
1) How do I wipe it out ... there is no option in Odin
2) Which ROM should I take:
CF-Root-SGS2_XW_NEE_LPG-v5.5-CWM5.tar
Kernel_I9100XWLPG.tar.md5
My S2 was I9100XWLPG befor it died.
It never died!
Learn how to use Odin
Get stock rom from www.sammobile.com
Or use checkfus down loader.

this is not a rom its a kernel thats why you cant boot up after flashing
Thanks guys ... here is what I did:
1) Booted S2 into recovery mode.
2) Chose wipe data / factory reset
3) Auto rebooted
4) Booted into download mode
5) started Odin 1.85 (tried also 3.04, same result)
6) for PDA I took CF-Root-SGS2_XW_NEE_LPG-v5.5-CWM5.tar which worked fine before I messed up
7) Odin went OK telling me kernel loaded & passed
8) now when I power on I only get Samsung logo and it powers off
So where did I go wrong ?
Should I use Heimdall instead of Odin ?
If i am not wrong you are flashing kernel not the whole rom.Remember till the time download mode is accessible your s2 is alive.Dont panic and mess up more.Just download a stock rom from sammobile and flash using odin.

If you were able to get into recovery just flash a rom. You don't have to go as far as a stock Rom if you don't want to. In download mode flash a recovery with Odin and then boot up into the recovery and flash the rom you want. That's it

Good to hear that the proper solution to your problem is being done. I had mine in an boot loop, while testing various roms. It wouldn't go pass the boot animation, just kept loading it over and over again. Then I did an "wipe data" and reinstalled rom and voila, my problem was solved as well
Yup all is not lost until download mode is lost.
Once got scared on kernel panic mode but reflashed and BAM

I was running the new Jellybean ROM just fine but decided to revert back to the AOKP ICS ROM. I did a backup of my JB rom in CWM and then did a restore of the backup from the AOKP ROM. But I forget to do a factory wipe. The ROM booted up fine the first time and then after a reboot it was just endlessly running the boot animation.
I could only boot into download mode so I tried to use PC Odin to flash a ROM I had but the program gets stuck at factoryfs.img. Please can anyone offer assitance?!
If you're to that point, flash back to stock first before you do anything else using creepyncrawlys guide in the dev section.

You don't have to do a wipe when restoring a nandroid backup on our phones, since it overwrites the entire data partition anyway. I'm wondering if ClockworkMod versions could be at the root of this. You didn't say which JB you were using, and I am not up on AOKP, but did the JB rom have CWM 6.0.1.1? and AOKP have the 5.x version? I think these are supposed to be backward compatible, but I'm wondering if restoring a 5.x backup with the 6.0.1.1 version could be at fault here. Just clutching at straws for a reason.
As far as recovering, go to the Download Repository, and first try flashing the complete firmware package with bootloaders. If that doesn't work, then try flashing the critical parts individually, i.e. secondary bootloader and param.lfs. If that doesn't work, there is a pit file there also, so you can flash the stock package with repartition. I assume you understand the risks.
I was using the SuperNexus JB rom. They did have different cwm versions but not sure which they were. Luckily I found an md5 file that would load 100% using pc Odin. Any tar file I tried to use first wouldn't load. Then I was successfully able to use the gingerbread stock with root tar listed in the unbrick section and then install a kernel with cwm to do the restore again. So I'm back to the AOKP. Only took 5 hours to fix this time. Ugh.

I found the file on this site: http://www.droidreader.com/2012/05/how-to-un-brick-or-fix-soft-bricked.html
It's the Recovery Package for ICS that I used: http://hotfile.com/dl/146748985/809318f/I9100XXLPH.zip.html
The zip contains an md5 file which PC Odin was successfully able to load entirely. I suppose the md5 fixed something that was screwed up which prevented the tar files from completely loading.
Then I was able to successfully flash the kernel + rooted UCKH7 system package found here. Next I flashed a gingerbread Siyah kernal found here in order to gain access to CWM and restore my previous backup.

I'm surprised you were able to enter download mode to complete this step, since the I9100 package you used previously contained bootloaders. The secondary bootloader for the I9100 would change the button configuration for entering download mode and recovery mode.

I tried using files:
I777UCKH7 OCD With Root.exe
UCKH7_stock_root.tar
uckk6_stock_rooted.tar
ATTGalaxyS2Unroot_SGH-i777.tar
I9100_CODE_I9100XXLPH_CL118559_REV02_user_low_ship.tar.md5
None of the tar files would complete. The md5 was located in the zip that I downloaded from the previously mentioned site. The file did load a ROM whose hard button configuration didn't match my phone model. Only the menu and home buttons worked and home was actually back. But I didn't have to do anything in the ROM. Download mode was still VOL Down + Power button.
After loading the md5 file I was able to use the exe but when the ROM loaded I wasn't able to get past the setup wizard. I would click on the android in the middle and either it wouldn't respond or different processes kept force closing. I remember one was a google framework process and there were like 2 others that popped up.
Everytime one of the other files failed I had to redo the md5 because the tars would get stuck again. So after several attempts I finally was able to use the UCKH7_stock_root.tar file to move forward with restoring my soft bricked phone.
Maybe someone can list the md5 file of the UCKH7_stock_root.tar incase PC Odin gets stuck like this for someone else? Though I'm no expert so I can't be sure if the tar vs md5 was what fixed the issue. I just know that file helped even if it wasn't the right one for my phone and, to my knowledge, caused no other issues once I used the correct tar files. I'm happily running the new AOKP JB ROM with no issues thus far.
Hi fellows,
I read that chainfire has not yet released cf-root for XELLA rom.
and my question is how can i root my device without installing custom rom?
if that's not possible, is there a kernel that i can flash that roots my phone without so much tweaks.
Rooting
Download CF-Root-SGS3-v6.4.zip on your computer and extract the file.
from h**p://download.chainfire.eu/196/CF-Root/SGS3/CF-Root-SGS3-v6.4.zip
Open ODIN
Switch off your phone and enter into download mode.
(To enter into download mode you need to press Volume down button and Home button simultaneously while turning the phone on.)
Hope you have your device’s USB drivers installed on your computer if not install it.
Now open ODIN on your computer and connect your device to computer while your phone is on download mode.
When your device will be connected to your computer, one ID:COM boxes will turn yellow/Blue after some time.
Select the files that you have to flash or install on your device from the extracted files in first download.
Now in ODIN, check for Auto Reboot and F. Reset Time options.and for the Re-partition option, check only if you have selected .PIT file above.
Click start in ODIN and the flashing will begin.
This flashing might take some time.As soon as the installation ends your device will restart.
Unplug your device from computer.
Switch it off again after it turns on completely and boots to home screen.
Now you need to enter into recovery mode,to enter into recovery switch on the phone while pressing Volume up,Home and Power buttons together.
Navigate with volume buttons to and select wipe data/factory reset from the recovery menu.
Select reboot system now and wait for device to boot again.
You are done, you rooted your Samsung Galaxy S3 I9300 to 4.1.2 Jelly Bean I9300XXELLA Final Firmware.

I think this method will flash the kernel and the sudden death fix will not stay is that true? and are there risks because of the locked bootloader.

Why are people referring to the ELLA bootloader as locked? It's not locked because you can root/flash to your heart's content, the only difference is a custom kernel or recovery will set the flash counter back to 1 after TA, simple to get round. Flash a stock kernel, run TA, flash stock rom (without entering recovery), wipe data in stock recovery. How is that so hard for people to get round?
Oke guys,,,, my point is i always thought that flashing CF ROOT is flashing kernel!!
SO if i flash latest CF ROOT my safe XELLA kernel is gone..... is that not right ???

Oke guys,,,, my point is i always thought that flashing CF ROOT is flashing kernel!!
SO if i flash latest CF ROOT my safe XELLA kernel is gone..... is that not right ???

to be safe or not , I myself 100% sure that XELLA don't contain the fix . why ?! I installed the XELLA and my device died two days ago.
as long as Samsung didn't announce that "a certain rom" got the fix , No one is safe.
I communicated with STOMAX please find his posts " specially the Post where he introduced his custom ROM Stomax v13"
final words (My opinion)
Samsung didn't officially announce the fix (even the bug) == No one is safe.
Good Luck
Flashing cf root does not flash a kernel. If you flash cf root then flash one of the protected recoveries, you should be fine on XXELLA

oke and how do i flash the xella recovery then?
If you are flashing via Odin you will have stock recovery, if you then want a custom/protected recovery flash with mobile Odin/cwm depending on format it comes in

I can enter on recovery mode but I think that I have a problem here, because in the recovery says that:
And when I try to do anything in the recovery the smartphone restarts automatically and don´t do anything, and when I can install another custom ROM from ext-SDcard all goes good, but when I restart it stuck on initial logo again.
I flash with Odin
(Odin3 v1.85 y Odin3 v3.04)
2 officials firmwares from "samfirmware.com"
and also the: CF-Auto-Root-m0-m0xx-gti9300.tar
and the CF-SGS3-CWM-v5.5-v1.5
and the CF-Root-SGS3-v6.4
and none of it worked, all give me the same error.
The kies doesn´t detects it....
(I close all the kies process when I use odin....)
Any suggestion?
Obviously it lost the warranty because the flash counter says 2 and I can not delete it because it does not start :S
Other info:
Last ROM: Foxhound 2.4
Kernel: Siyah
Recovery: Siyah

go get a jig or search here how to make one by yourself. it will reset the counter from 2 to 0. after that just go to service center and give your device.
hit thanks if I helped.

Download the pills recovery file from pills thread pace it on ur extsd card and then install via he recovery u r booting into
Then finally once pills recovery installation finishes go to Phills recovery and change ur kernel
please use a normal font.

Exactly so.....you can have no screen or anything at all, or you can have no recovery but d/l mode still shows (worst case scenario)
Try flashing pit files with repartition ticked,to reformat partitions and then flash a Sammy stock rom(not deodexed or with root).worked on gs2 and should work on gs3 too..

I had SDS but the phone still booted.. just completely unusable with black squares all over the screen.. Samsung gave me a new phone saying it was the SDS issue..
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
I'm terribly sorry is this is the wrong place to post this, but I'm new to the whole 'forums' in general thing.
A while ago, a friend came to me and said his android was growing buggy, so I told him how to factory reset it and such. Then I rooted it for him to clear it of any stock apps he didn't want. Now I've currently got the device next to me, and I've tried installing a custom rom onto it for him, to help make his device a bit faster and less buggy. I tried installing PAC-ROM ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2235446 ), but I got the same error in CWM that I got when I tried to flash my HTC Glacier, which was remedied by updating to the latest CWM. I tried updating CWM from its current 5.0.2.7 to something 6.0+, but the 5.0 version sticks, which might be due to the fact that I used ODIN to flash the CWM according to a different XDA forum, which I cannot locate right now. Now, after attempting to flash PAC-ROM, and getting said errors, I seem to be unable to remount anything from CWM (/system, /data, etc), so the device cannot boot.
Is the device bricked for good, or is there something that can help me? I'm not totally inexperienced with flashing/customizing android, but I'm not great at it either.
Thanks for the help in advanced.
uhhh, what exactly did you flash to upgrade CWM? Did you use something for another device? Because you arent supposed to do that.
I would reboot into download mode, and then flash the stock firmware. Then you can flash a either RJ's kernel (for INTL) or Entropy's kernel (US) depending on what device you have. To flash PAC, you have to first flash a cm9 rom, reboot into recovery, and then flash PAC

I did, it gave me the 'error can't mount /system, /data, etcetc' thing, and then rebooted, and now it's stuck in CWM.
you probably need to find the pit file and flash that via odin. just keep holding the power and volume down keys until you are in recovery. then put the pit file in odin along with the stock firmware and flash.

After trying a few more times, I end up with the same screen as I posted before, the android recovery screen.
try downloading and extracting this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=812772&d=1323614740
this contains odin version 1.81, which has always worked for me.

That PIT file is invalid. It has never worked and never will. If you need the pit file then get it from Adam Outler's post that has all the PIT files for the all players 5.0.
I didn't know what I was doing when I made it. I just dumped the partition that has the pit file on it and that is what that is. NO ONE SHOULD EVER USE ueki8.pit FROM YP-G70_UEKI8_MIN !!!

Even after flashing using that, it still returns me to either the download screen, or the recovery screen.
Now the devices is stuck in a state where it won't exit download mode.
