Radio keeps asking for root - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
The problem i'm having is every few days my radio will spam the phone asking for root. I have to press accept about 10 times before it goes away (even remembering the selection) only for it to re-appear a few days later asking again. I've tried a different modem and the situation seems to have improved but it's not gone completely (it used to spam over 100 entries at a time).
The rom i'm using is a recent cyanogen JB nightly, and I believe the siyah kernel.
Has anyone else had this issue? Surely the radio shouldn't be asking for root at all, since normal phones don't have that access.
I'm on Vodafone UK. I'm not sure I have the right rom's / radio / kernal so I'll post down what the phone lists here:
Baseband: I9300XXDLID
Kernel Version: 3.0.31-CM-g9ee66ec [email protected] #1
Nightly version: 10-20121202-NIGHTLY-I9300
Build number: cm_i9300-userdebug 4.1.2 JZO54K eng..20121202.091641 test-keys
Does anything look majorly wrong with this?
Thanks,

I've had the same issue the other week on a cm10 nightly.. I've researched it a bit but just put it down to an error of some kind. Would like to know why?

[Q] 2.2 Failed update?

So I'm admittedly stupid when it comes to most Android issues, but I can follow instructions pretty well and unfortunately my issue didn't have instructions.
I looked over some of the other 'Update failed' threads but they didn't fit my issue since they're somewhat old and provided no answers really.
I have a rooted Vibrant with the only other "mod" being the OneClickLagFix. I recently received the OTA update system message and decided to go ahead with it thinking the worst that'd happen is that I'd lose root and/or some data, but I had backed up with Titanium so I wasn't worried.
So the update ran itself, the phone rebooted and nothing has changed? My version still shows as 2.1-update1 and now under "Software Update" only gives me the message "No firmware". I'm pretty much stuck now, I thought the update was going to give me 2.2 and I'd be set, but I don't think it did anything at all? Has anyone else run into the same issues?
Model: SGH-T959
Firmware Version: 2.1-update1
Baseband Version: T959UVJFD
Kernel Version: 2.6.29
Build Number: ECLAIR
I'm not having any noticeable issues just yet but I was hoping someone could give me an idea of what may have happened and/or what I may be able to do to get the OTA update (or similar manual instructions).
Many thanks to anyone who gives any advice, you guys all really know your stuff with Android so hopefully someone can help!
Cheers
the OTA wasn't 2.2
just a bugfix version of 2.1 with mediahub enabled
It was a 2.1 service pack, here is an abbreviated list of what was changed, added, modified, etc...

The GPS fix was the most anticipated thing in this update to the 2.1 version. I knew T-Mobile should have put a Version # in their annoucement but they didn't and look what happened. You're not the first person to crawl out from under a rock and wonder why 2.2 wasn't installed / available.
Oh well color me blue.
I apologize for my lack of knowledge on the issue. Thanks for clearing that up for me guys.
Back to under my rock I go.

i saw that you put down:
Model: SGH-T959
Firmware Version: 2.1-update1
Baseband Version: T959UVJFD
Kernel Version: 2.6.29
Build Number: ECLAIR
was this after the update?
Baseband version is suppose to be T959UVJ16
Build Number: ECLAIR.UVJ16
AFTER the update.
make sure you've updated.
Just FYI to the OP, I had the same issue when I tried the OTA. It went through the update process, it told me that the update had failed and rebooted into JFD. The update did not stick for whatever reason. I ended up ODINing the JI6. I am now running Bionix 1.9 and am loving it.
My opinion of JI6 was meh at best. The devs here definitely have improved my Vibrant experience and turned this phone into a phone I am proud to show off.

[Q] GT-i900G root guide?

Hi there (topic should say GT-i9100G)
Been searching for days to find a way to root my GT-i9100G model. I found plenty for previous builds of my kernel but nothing for this current one.
So I'm at the end of my wits and for the first time in years I'm turning to creating a thread on a forum, getting ready for the flame.
kernel: 2.6.35.7 DELL165 dpi @ # 2
Android version: 2.3.6
Build number is: GINGERBREAD.XXLA1
Baseband version: I9100GXXKL4
I had a i900 from work but after it broke my work phone was replaced with this model and I'm sick of not being able to run ICS on it.
Anyways, wanna get CWM on it, but I'm very green at the whole custom ROM scene, only thing I ever rooted was my 10.1 tab with Odin to flash AOKP's builds :\
Anyways, if anyone has any tip, don't be shy.

You DID mean GT-i9100G, right?
Need to know more, anyways. Build number?
Use super one click
Yes of course, silly me, GT-i9100G is my phone.
Build number is: GINGERBREAD.XXLA1
Baseband version: I9100GXXKL4
I've read others talk about super one click, the reports were very mixed and I think this build will not work, or am I wrong?

I believe SuperOneClick requires an insecure kernel to be flashed to your phone first before using it, right? You just have to make sure the insecure kernel is for the I9100G, and not the I9100. And if you cannot find an exact match for your kernel version for an insecure kernel, you will need a copy of your secure kernel to flash back when you're done rooting.
I'm afraid I don't know where to get these things for an I9100G, however, so you're on your own to look for them. (unless someone who knows this information sees this post and is kind enough to post it to you)
EDIT to add: that said, I've heard of a few custom kernels for the I9100G that, when flashed, will root your phone for you. I don't remember what they are though, you'll have to search for them.
EDIT 2: Found one (superatmos) that has a version compatible with your build.

Rooting / OS Version Questions

I have a Samsung Galaxy S2 I-9100M originally purchased from Bell. I rooted the phone using Odin. That was my first time rooting and I must admit, I kind of took blind faith in the instructions without actually taking the time to understand what's going on. In any case, everything has been working fine (except the GPS lock takes forever).
However, I would really like to see some improvements in battery life... and I heard that Gingerbread v2.3.6 has improvements from previous versions. I don't want to go to ICS because I've heard it's slow, etc. Below are the details from my phone:
Android version: 2.3.3
Basebad version: I9100MUGKG2
Kernel version: [email protected] #2
Build number: GINGERBREAD.UGKG2
Can anyone help me understand the above? Since the kernel version says 2.6.3, does that mean I am already on it? Eventhough the OS version says 2.3.3? Sorry if that's a totally ignorant question...

[Q] Questions about choosing the right rom, the kernel ...

Hi,
I have a Galaxy S3, unbranded purchased in South Africa. I live in Serbia. Although I read a lot of forum about root still there are things that I have found and I do not understand.
About phone:
Model number: GT-I9300
Android version: 4.1.2
Baseband version: I9300XXELLA or CP:I9300XXELLA
Kernel version: 3.0.31-836582
Build number: JZ054K.I9300XXEMA2 or AP: I9300XXEMA2 and,
CSC: I9300JVEMA1
Because the phone was not taken to the contract, was not cheap (650eur), I would like to turn it into a brick.
First, I do not have a lot of apps, but the phone is a lot slower than when it was new - empty, otherwise is 5 months old. In the task manager, after killing all processes, 20 remain active, and only 150MB of RAM, known to fall at 80MB. Processes that kill will always return immediately, so that you only have to stop, but do not know which are needed and which are not. Probably when the phone root, there are more options in terms of this. Now we come to the question of.
I know that at root, it must taking care of versions, but I would particularly like someone said, the above things which must be matched and what might not.
For example: Baseband version must be the same version but does not have, you can make this and that, or Build number must be the same version but does not have, you can make this and that and and at the end of CSC must be the same version but does not have. You know what I mean.
I read on the forum, it must first model to be the same, meaning I9300, then build number, if all must be the same, in my case JZ054K.I9300KKEMA2 or just the first part JZ054K?
I know that the CSC does not need to be the same, this is a South African, would I have got if you would put a European or Serbian?
I see the signatures of various kernel, how do I know that I can use on my phone?
I know that these questions are for you who know the funny, but to us who are novices in this not so much. If there were no consequences if something goes wrong, the financial think there would be no problem experimenting, but this just is not. Not urgent, slow when you have time, you respond.
Appreciate in advance.
Cheers !!!
There is always risk when you try to flash something on your phone that it could never go on again. The risk is pretty small but it`s there.
If you still want to Root, there are several different methods, one very easy way is to flash a Kernel, that will Root your device.
Since you have Android 4.1.2 Jelly Bean installed you can flash the Siyah Kernel. This Kernel will root your device and it supports all Samsung Jelly Bean ROMs.
You can get it here:

Download the tar file and flash it through Odin.

samsung s2 gti9100 dropping wifi

This might just piss everyone off but I am not a seasoned poster so here it is.
I rooted my phone using framaroot then installed CWM via rom manager then tried, neatrom, spirit, pacman, cyanogenmod. all are kitkat 4.4.4 based.
My problem is the wifi keeps disconnecting and connecting spasmodically, after that occasional behaviour though it tends to become dormant, with the toggle tile showing a grey colour. I dont know how to identify the cause, I have checked for hardware problems like the bat500 leak issue, tried setting manual ip settings etc. I am not familiar with all the settings in these more modern versions of android so maybe there is something basic I am missing.
I have done a bug report but have no idea what to look for
Phone specific details
Model: GT-I9100T
Country: New Zealand
Version: Android 4.1.2
Changelist: N/ABuild date: Thu* 01 Jan 1970 00:00:00 +0000
Product Code: TNZ
PDA: I9100TDVLSH
CSC: I9100TTNZLSA
MODEM: I9100TDVLS3
was it because the phone has been rooted? or flashed with the incorrect recovery module. Can I recover from this and go back to the jelly bean 4.1.2 stock that was on there originally (i forgot to nandroid after rooting, in the haste of new rom fun, I know what a dickhead) I cant find any original stock JB files for my location.
Any help would be most valued.... Im not retarded but definately feel like it now that Ive been 24hrs trying to solve it.
Thanks in advance
