Hi, new here although have been guesting for 6 months..
I have been thinking about rooting for over a year now and since just before I picked up my S3 last June when I had my nexus S I was 'researching' the rooting procedure and potential problems / benefits
Took the plunge tonight and rooted my S3.. went well and took about 5-10 minutes (was being VERY careful)
So now my phone is rooted
My main purposes
1) Get rid of major bloatware
2) backup data
3) Overclock performance
4) increase already impressive battery life
5) possibly get a custom ROM (unsure)
I know the answers are dotted around and I have seen bits and pieces but wanted a personalised answer if that makes sense..
What are the first things I should do> btw used the samsung galaxy 3 i900 v.5.0 toolkit to root.. very nice and easy
I have downloaded ROM manager, titanium backup, busybox and hc-ktool (although i think the last if for s2?)
I have backed up rom by booting into recovery
** How do I backup the EFS folder on Galaxy s3?
** How do I do a manual backup of everything on my phone using titanium? i have a schedule set up for twice a week
** What else can i do to take care of the 'security' aspect before messing with anything?
** What should I be doing first?
** How can I overclock performance and what is that nice app that lets you schedule changes in performance based on phone state?
** How do I delete bloatware safely?
** What ROMS are good for S3 and where to get them?
** What else can I do with a rooted phone.. i mainly play games on my commute and use internet..
** Oh yes and how can i download games designed for Nvidia only.. such as Horn and Dark Meadow?
Sorry for the barrage of questions, used to dabble in programming over 10 years ago... so while im new to rooting etc. with the right information and enough reading ill be ok as ill be extremely cautious..
Thanks in advance guys

For EFS backup: here
For Titanium: usually I do a full backup of all system & user apps every 2nd day (in case I flash something the day after) whereas restoring system apps & data is NOT advised as it might lead to force closes
For ROMs: look in the android development section, many choices available
Hope it helps, thanks for a thanks
You can get rid of the majority of bloatware via Titanium backup. About the ROMs, it is solely depends on your personal preferences. I would suggest using GalaxSih kernel by Harunjo if battery life is your main concern and Perseus by Andreilux kernel for performance and battery life.
Good touchwiz ROM I would recommend is omega ROM. It's easy to install and you can remove all bloatware/selectively install the ones you want.
Siyah kernel is very popular, allowing users to fully customize settings.. ie overclocking, undervolting... among other things.
Setcpu also seems to be pretty popular for cpu customizations, as well as allowing users to stress test if you decide you want to undervolt.

Thanks for the help so far guys :good:
To the last poster, yes I appreciate its kind of a banned quesion about ROMS, it isnt a best ROM thread though as such and although maybe not worded clear enough, i was asking for some good ROMS that would achieve the things I listed. I will of course do my own research as I spent 5 months reading up about rooting in the first place. I would have hoped that as it was asked somewhat in context it would be seen differently.
The whole concept of rooting still feels new and unexplored and is only as I am confident enough to go for it that I am.. id rather re-ask questions and understand in relation to my specific situation in addition to reading prior posts than just read other peoples posts and hope it relates to my experience.
About Titanium Backup.. it seems the backup this morning has stored on the SD card.. how can I set it to backup to the EXT SD Card? I have created a folder on the EXT card 'TitaniumBackup' so how would I tell Titanium Backup to back up there instead as I cant see where I would do this?
Also, 1.7GB on the SD card is taken up by CWM recovery. Can someone explain why and how I move this 1.7GB to EXT card? I dont know if I can just move it using My Files. I doubt it.
All that rooting does is to grant the user a higher level of access to the system of itself it does nothing .
Recovery set the location in Nandroid to ext sd card .Likewise with TB backup .
Roms all roms are good for S3 .
Suggestion is to start with a rom you understand what it is and how to flash it .

I take it you mean the backup, in which case it can be moved anywhere just do not rename it or you will not be able to use it. I prefer a root explorer to the my files app, I personally use ES file explorer then anything can be moved anywhere on the phone.
Some of your other questions:
Backup efs. You can do that through HC-kTool, just tap "backup efs to /sdcard/efs.img" then you can copy it to your ext sd, your PC, USB pen, get as paranoid as you like.
Manual backup via titanium. click the little tick on the top right of the main page then tap "backup all user apps"
Security, just be careful, and be sure to search XDA before you change anything that could do harm
what to do first. Backup with CWM recovery, backup efs, install a root explorer, install and do an initial run of ad free android.
overclock. To overclock you need a custom kernel, I use Siyah and it offers a lot of options for overclocking, undervolting, 2 CPU governors GPU clock rates and volting etc etc etc. take care, overclocking too much can cause damage to the CPU over time.
Bloatware. use Titanium to safely remove bloatware, and there are guides telling you what is safe.
ROMs. These are my personal favorite SuperNexus 0 bloatware and speedy also the next build will be 4.1.2 and Omega a nice fast samsung based rom, you can choose JB or ICS what I like about Omega is you can remove all bloatware during the install, of choose what you want, it is also extremely smooth with Siyah kernel.
What else. You can do anything litterally anything, think of something to do and you will be able to do it.
Hope I helped

For Titanium - open the apps - press menu - preferences - backup folder location.
In recovery, you can choose to backup to external sd card.
You can move the nandroid to anywhere you like but you must put it back to the original folder when you need to restore it. 1.7GB is not big at all

hi all, hoping someone can help point me in the right direction, new to samsung devices
had my i9300 a couple of months now - rooted using SGS3 toolkit
I finally plucked up the courage to flash a custom rom and went a bit crazy!!!
Flashed the following roms:
Android Revolution
Revolution Resurrection
3 minit
and finally
Hellybean
Before flashing each new rom I did the following:
Backed up my apps and data with TB pro
a full nandroid back up of my existing rom
followed by a factory data reset and wipes of cache and dalvik
I thought I had covered my butt pretty well but apparently not!!
i really liked hellybean and decided to restore my apps with TB but I got an error "unable to access external sd card" I tried changing the backup location folder which seemed to work, but once back in the main program I get the unable to access error....
So I thought ok i'll restore my nandroid backup!!! but that gives me an error "error restoring /data"
then I tried flashing the 3 minit rom again and then back into cwm and trying to restore that backup and I got an error restoring system this time!!!!
I'm not sure what to do now....have I lost my data for ever???
Is there a way to try and restore using odin??
and any hints for backing up and restoring in the future??
many thanks if anyone who can help

Update 1.
Well on further reading it seems 4.2 has a 'unique' feature!!!
I'm using my own words here to help me comprehend whats going on, so forgive me if i'm not using "android-speak"
When upgrading to 4.2 it creates a new "partition" on your /sdcard called /emulated and all your new 4.2 data etc goes in here....all your pre 4.2 stuff goes into /sdcard/0...
I believe this happens also whenever you flash a new rom
so if you get a flash happy as I did then all of a sudden you get /sdcard/0/0/0/0/0/0...???? can this be correct????
The issue is I have different files in each of these "0" folders. My titanium Backup folder is in /sdcard/0/0/0/0 - which TB cannot access...I checked the /data/media folder which I believe is where my files are actually residing and sure enough in /data/media/0/0/0/0 theres my TB b/u folder
what i'd like to know now is if I can copy that folder to say, data/media without causing havoc?
Of course my next question is can I also move my cwm backup folder from sdcard/0/0/0/0/0/0 to data/media even tho I already have a cwm folder in there but which does not have the same files in it???
The other question is how to figure out which of the sdcard "0" folders hold which rom???
Anyone out there thats been thru the same thing???
Update 2
ok I just booted to cwm and did a backup just to see where it gets stored to...
Took ext sdcard out to force to int storage
backup saved by cwm to /sdcard
boot to android and fire up Total Commander
the only file in my cwm folder on /sdcard is an older one which cwm will not restore from
navigate to /data/media and sure enought theres my backup
boot back to cwm to restore my backup and cwm says No file found....wtf...
cwm cannot restore the backup it just made??
so back to android and check all my '0' folders and zip nothing?
my backup is in internal storage but NOT /sdcard??
So it would seem, that once you install a 4.2 rom - no apps can find their backups cos theyre
stored in a different location which they are unable to access??
thoughts people??

Hi dibb_nz,
As a new participant to installing custom ROMs I can confirm I'm having exactly the same issue that you're experiencing, my file system adding an extra /0 every time I flash an update to my Carbon ROM. It's causing major issues restoring backups from various apps and I'd also love to know if it's possible to fix this issue.
Any help from the more experienced would be very much appreciated.
Kind regards.

Just make sure you use the latest version of clockworkmod or twrp recovery...that should fix your issue

EDIT: sorry for the format of my post its difficult to read...not sure why it ended up like that
Using latest recovery only allows cwm to find yr backups, it will not
'fix' the 0 folder issue IF you already have more than one.
I found it best to totally reformat the internal storage and starting fresh.
I manually deleted the 0 folders with a file explorer. Then formatted the
internal SD in cwm.
I also made sure my backups saved to .tar rather than the .DUP format,
as I had also ended up with 1000's of .blob files which totally
confused the situation even more....they would not restore after taking
hours and hours to copy....
As previous poster said....using the latest cwm will prevent the creation
of multiple 0 folders.
Save what data you need to your external SD or PC. I had a couple
older SD cards laying around so I used those.
After that, delete all 0 folders, remember to enable read/write access
to the data partition so they stay deleted!!!
Using the latest cwm or twrp - format data/media,...
If u don't want to use the new .dup/blob incremental backup, change
the option "default backup format" to .tar...this could already be enabled
in the latest cwm, I'm not sure on that!
If you're 'experimenting' with 4.2 ROMs - you will always have a
0 folder, its just how things are done so don't go deleting that one
in future! And you might wanna look at dual booting if you're a wee bit
'flash-happy' like me, lol....I'm using siyahmod app and have 3 ROMs
installed, although I really only use 2. If your apps have a save to
external SD option, use it!!! Likewise with your nandroid backups
And titanium backups, I've had lottsa trouble with TB not being able
to find or access backups even after it finds the backup folder??
Also remember, 4.2 apps are different to 4.1apps, its not good practice
to restore 4.1 apps to a 4.2 ROM or vice versa....things get screwy!!!
If you want to go dual boot, 4.2 ROMs MUST Only be installed as
the secondary rom, it cannot be installed as your primary ROM.
If you only want to run 2 ROMs then use siyah kernel and the stweaks app.
If you want to have 3 ROMs then use siyah kernel and siyahmod multi boot app.
There can be issues with the sjiyahmod app...i find it best to use either whether?
but not both.
That's been my experience anyway....hope it helps and good luck
rgds dibb
PS I've had no issues at all running the siyah kernel with any other ROM,
even works we'll with my stock ROM...
Hi, I got myself an android phone 5 days ago and i want to learn how to use it properly so i search everything about androids phone and i think this is the best site among other sites to post this question.
1)Transferring SD partition
At first, i didn't know what is root and after learning it, i rooted my phone cause it required in order to increase my memory. I recently bought i new one which is 32GB and i already partition it(using minitool partition wizard) and i was wondering how to transfer all my installed data , phone data and my previous SD to my new one. If i simply copy paste it how about my installed app on my phone? will it cause my app to stop working? if i use titanium back up,can you show me step by step how to use it.
2)Rom manager or Goomanager (custom ROM)
I heard a lot of people saying "Do not use it","too dangerous,too risky","might brick your phone" (i don't even get it, you'll just have to follow the instruction or procedure right?)
-stock Rom and custom Rom
what so different about them? (i know for the fact that custom Rom updates quickly)but i need more information.
-what makes you want to install custom Rom, is it worth it?
-custom Rom can save battery life,make it faster,can play heavy games etc... but HOW? is that mean stock Rom drains more battery( my phone cant even survive one night), cant play heavy game or makes you lag?
-what would happen to my stock rom if i install custom rom?
-if i installed custom rom, will it cause my phone any problems? like app stop working?
-will it use up my ram or rom memory?
-why bother change another custom rom if you'll just use the popular ones?
-What else can you do on custom rom?
3) Clockworkmod recovery and Titanium back up
-Whats the different about them?
They say clockworkmod is like cloning your phone when you back up
They say Titanium back up all apps and data is like the same as cloning your phone too right or not? so whats the difference?
what should i use?
when backing up to install new custom rom, what should i choose? they say if you using titanium back up might cause some serious problem.
4)Recommend or important app
what should i install to improve my phone? like cleaner,battery save (there many kinds, i want to know which is the best)
5) Any advice for new android user
Kindly answer at least one of my noob questions that is easily to understand.
THANK YOU in advance.
wow... you have so many doubts... hahaha
Ok, here we go:
root concept is a little difficult to understand (and to explain) to anybody that never used Linux before. To put it simple, root means that you have administrator privileges, so you can do anything you desire (even break your phone very easily ).
I dunno if a plain copy can works with the ETX partition, but you can do this: Move your apps to your phone again, disable Link2SD, put your new SD, enable Link2SD and move all to the EXT partition.
If I misunderstood this, and you don't have partitioned your actual SD, forget that I said before. Copy all from the old SD to the new one, there aren't problems at all.
I don't recommend to use Titanium Backup if you're installing a completely different ROM, since it can cause problems (if you're reinstalling your actual ROM, is OK to use it).
Custom ROM advantages:
quick updates, as you said.
lightweight, only few apps will be installed (without the bunch of crap that carriers or manufacturers usually add).
faster than stock, mostly cases.
Many features that stock ROM doesn't have (depends of ROM and the developer).
You should choose your ROM wisely, since not all ROMs are enough stable and can cause weird problems (as forced closes, slow down the phone, random reboots...). If you're unsure, try the popular ones and choose one.
Titanium backup doesn't make a clone of your phone, only the apps and its data. As I said before, I don't recommend to use it if you're moving to another ROM (you can try to install the app as usual, and only restore its data using Titanium Backup, it's better than restore app+data).
Recovery, in the other hand, can make a full backup (even the EXT partition is saved), so this is the right way to backup when you're installing a new ROM.
You will not need anything if you choose a good ROM
The usual: search, read, search again, and understand before do anything
I hope I didn't leave something unanswered, let me know if so

Thank you for the quick reply.
wow... you have so many doubts... hahaha - got tired of iphone 5 so i switch to samsung galaxy since its new, ive got to be careful.
what ways can can your phone be brick? so that i could avoid it.
I don't recommend to use Titanium Backup if you're installing a completely different ROM, since it can cause problems (if you're reinstalling your actual ROM, is OK to use it). what do you mean by "if you're reinstalling your actual ROM, is OK to use it"? are you saying if i want to revert it back to stock rom?
can you explain more clearly about question no.3 i still didn't get it.
lightweight, only few apps will be installed (without the bunch of crap that carriers or manufacturers usually add) - can you explain it like giving me examples? what examples of crap usually add? if i really did installed a custom rom, what are not from the stock are now on new rom. wont it effect my phone app data?
other said that if you installed a custom rom it might get brick.(even if the instruction followed carefully)
so what should i use to back up my phone in order to install custom rom and how? what would happen to my stock rom if i install custom rom?
how can i sure if the custom rom is suited for my phone? cyanogenmod the most popular custom rom, people said it can slow or cause problems too.
how much memory is required on installing custom rom.
should i use rom manager or goomanager?
-difference between clockworkmod recovery( and its functions) and Titanium Backup
When backing up consumes a lot of memory?
"Titanium backup doesn't make a clone of your phone, only the apps and its data" data-did you mean data from phone too? like contacts etc... if i use titanium backup and reset my phone, will it return to when i bought it? i was wondering if it will delete some icons like gallery icon youtube icon etc...because my phone is rooted.
if i use clockworkmod recovery, will it return to the way it is? some say dont use it cause it have a lot of problems.
"I dunno if a plain copy can works with the ETX partition, but you can do this: Move your apps to your phone again, disable Link2SD, put your new SD, enable Link2SD and move all to the EXT partition." so i should put all my installed app to my phone and then remove my sd card and copy all the files, cache to my new one. is that it?
Recommend or important app to improve my phone
my phone cant survive even a day. sometimes if i play games it sudden close itself and lag. if i install custom rom,can it solve my problems?
When backing up consumes a lot of memory?
Can you tell name of your mobile?
And yes, ROMs tend to make phones better in performance
ClockworkMod backup usually takes 200-300 mb for high end ICS/JB devices

:good: BTW, never heard of S4 lagging but you can try Greenify app.
And why do you need to expand memory?
1. Transferring data to SD card is not only copy paste them. Not that simple.. U have to use an application that able to move data to SD safely without problem. If the data u wanted to move is like Pictures, Music, Video then it could be done by a simple copy paste.
2. Stock ROM and Custom ROM is two different things. Basically stock ROM is the one that officially has been tested its compatibility to phones which means it is safe to use it. While Custom ROMs are different. Not all of Custom ROMs are tested and u use it by ur own risk. It is true that by using custom ROM could improve ur phone because basically the Custom ROM was maded by other people that wanted to improve what Stock ROM didn't have. Custom ROM could harm ur phone if it is not used in a right way or that the ROM doesn't match ur phone.
3. Clockworkmod Recovery and Titanium backup are basically a similar app. They both meant to backup ur data. The thing is, clockwork use to backup ur ROM in case u want to change ur current ROM and maybe u want it back again. While Titanium usually used for backup ur phone's application and data such as apps, ur phone setting, ur contacts, etc.
4. I have some apps that I can suggests to u as a basic apps for rooted users.
- ROM toolbox Pro. It help u to improve ur ROM in working.
- Terminal emulator. It help to put command on ur phone if u want to order ur phone to run some settings. Simply it is like MsDos in Windows.
- Link2SD. Help u to organize apps if u need to move some apps that cannot be moved manually from ur setting (like ur stock apps, Twitter, Facebook, etc)
- (optional) Root explorer. Help u to manage data in ur phone or SD and change their permissions.

Custom ROM could harm ur phone if it is not used in a right way or that the ROM doesn't match ur phone.
3. Clockworkmod Recovery and Titanium backup are basically a similar app. They both meant to backup ur data. The thing is, clockwork use to backup ur ROM in case u want to change ur current ROM and maybe u want it back again. While Titanium usually used for backup ur phone's application and data such as apps, ur phone setting, ur contacts, etc.
4. I have some apps that I can suggests to u as a basic apps for rooted users.
- ROM toolbox Pro. It help u to improve ur ROM in working.
- Terminal emulator. It help to put command on ur phone if u want to order ur phone to run some settings. Simply it is like MsDos in Windows.
- Link2SD. Help u to organize apps if u need to move some apps that cannot be moved manually from ur setting (like ur stock apps, Twitter, Facebook, etc)
- (optional) Root explorer. Help u to manage data in ur phone or SD and change their permissions.

1. Transferring data to SD card is not only copy paste them. Not that simple.. U have to use an application that able to move data to SD safely without problem. If the data u wanted to move is like Pictures, Music, Video then it could be done by a simple copy paste. - so i use link2sd to move my installed app to sd then copy paste all ?

1. Move your installed apps by using link2sd, or u can also move it by using ROM toolbox. only the installed apps that u thinks u should move. for Video, Music, Pictures, etc. u can move them by a simple 'cut' 'paste' method.
3. Yup, remember to backup all ur data first in Titanium before u download n install new ROM..
Hey all, I'll break into the thread xP
So simply ANY nandroid backup I count on does not seem to satisfy me
I've been fooled by my device like 3 or 4 times and lost a lot of pretty customizations that were on it
My problem is that I can't seem to take a working backup.. I always have the MD5 checksum error and stuff
I tried 2 kernels so far and the last one was Apollo which I BELIEVE is tested and is working for a lot of users.
Could it be because I move the backup to my PC until needed?? Should it be on the SD card all the time? :/
Try backup to internal sd card. There may be a problem wth your sd card?

I backed up to internal in the first place
Hmm.. Try philz recovery if you are cwm, or vice versa then? Is there a problem when you are recording videos and such?
Edit: HD videos
I have had those aswell, i found a guide(workaround, whatever) on youtube. Just open your cwm backup folder and look for the nandroid.md5 file. Open it with an editor and delete all and leave it empty. This way it wont check the md5 sum and just restore. However if your backup is damaged it might not work or cause troubles. You can also use nandroid restore app from play to restore data and apps. Good luck.

The advice I was given at a very early stage in my android modifying was to zip the backup prior to moving it to a PC........ then when it was going to be used, move the zip back 'in phone' and use the phone to unzip it.....apparently this minimises the risk of corruption......
Whether this is true or not, I haven't investigated, but it *sounds* reasonable.......

I had the same problem, solution for me was to rename the entire backup, don't know why ....
But it's important that the new name doesn't has space or strange signs inside ...
You could use: mybackup
As example

Nice tips from all of you, thanks for the workaround pargas ;D
Since there isn't any Custom ROM for the SM-T380 I made this TWRP back from my tablet, running on stock Oreo took all the bloatware, Knox out to add some root mods, and latest updates with Magisk root. No other personal app added
This is a compressed TWRP backup, not a flashable ZIP!
Download it from here

how to install TWRP
https://forum.xda-developers.com/ga.../twrp-3-2-1-1-tab-sm-t380-10-02-2018-t3747564
DOWNLOAD/EXTRACT zip file from above Google Drive's link to your PC
Now REBOOT your tablet into TWRP recovery
connect tablet using USB cable to your PC make sure you have Samsung drivers installed, so you can see your tablet on your PC
ON your Tablet create a backup within TWRP's backup tab on your SD Card storage (choose storage SD card)
browse to that folder and open that SD card's TWRP backup folder, using your PC
go to last folder where you should see some files, delete them then
Copy EXTRACTED files from (Google Drives) into TWRP backups folder on your SD card TWRP/BACKUPS/xxxxxxxx/ from your PC to that SD card.
Where xxxxxxxx is your device serial number;
Once done copying the file
go to, restore's tab within your TWRP
RESTORE everything showing there (all those three partitions)
REBOOT to system
IF you can't see those copied files on your tablet then you have missed something. Restart back into TWRP
Thanks

Hi, I have a T380, I thought about installing this, but before I do, will this work on the t380? Because you have T380T, and I have T380. And if I want, can I put some of the stock apps back on?
Indeed it works on a T380

I just installed it on my T380.. Be sure to follow the directions entirely. And remember to reboot TWRP after putting the sdcard with the backup files back in or else it may not read it (mine would not).

followed the directions but device wont read the backup file. would you mind posting all the steps you took to do the backup.
I had the same issue, so when the proper backup files are in place on the ext sdcard and reinserted into the device, but the device won't read it -- for me, I had to reboot the device into recovery and THEN it would read it.
Hi,a friend is running android 9 stock on the T-380.Does not have alot of apps installed,but hardly and internal memory left.I was thinking of rooting it,and uninstalling some system apps. Can you possibly tell me which system apps are safe to uninstall on this tablet?

always change apk extension with .APKbak
so if you got into mess you can rename the APKbak into .APK
if i got android 9 can i do this it?
Is file support with t385??
I want to personally thank you for this TWRP image! I completely hosed my sm-T380 that I just got as a backup tablet while trying to root it.
This did the trick Thank you again!!!
I did this using internal memory and all ok. thanks.
I need to say THANK YOU BRO!!!! You just saved my ass!!
But can't tell how much a custom ROM is needed for this device.
Only things to do, is to remove all the bloat left whit the link you provide above and that's it.
Once again, 3 thumbs up! (don't ask me where I found the third one lolll)
it's a great work .I want download it, but I can't download google file directly(site blockked), I have to through VPN.So the speed is not quick enough for me,I can't complete the downloading within an hour when google vary the token.The download work can't continue and must restart from the beginning.
If you have time,would you please split it into several parts,each size blow 300M?Thanks a lot,this file I think useful and can give me big help and save me time.
