Hi Galaxy S3 users, I want a basic help here.
I have a Samsung Galaxy S3 i9300, and is new, came with ICS from factory and no root or custum kernel, nothing. Clean.
So, I want to have CMW Recovery and Root Access and a good 4.+ ROM (Some one that you think it's very stable and 100% functional)
So, easy uh? I'm an Android user and have many knowledge about LG Swfit, but this, is a new device, so I need some tips about "First Steps".
Thanks in advance. :good:

Ok, I've recently gotten my SGS2 and have read a number of threads on rooting (new android user).
I feel like I have some info handy to start rooting the phone but I'm still apprehensive. Can anyone help me here?
I was looking to load a custom ROM, let's say for example: [ROM] Lite'ning Rom v2.1 XXKG1
Will it work with my 2.3.3/XWKF1? Should I start with the CF-Root with Chainfire's method? Can't string it here, as you see there's some confusion up top.
The general start point is to read the details on the rom post you intend to flash .
In your case read the Litening post and all is answered for that rom .Want a different rom read the instructions for that rom .
Nothing to stop you using Chainfires CF root first .

Yes, CF is the man with whose kernel you should start rooting. There is no problem with CF kernels, just flash it and enjoy.

Alright, thank you.
hello everyone, i really need help in rooting and flashing custom roms in my galaxy s2 i9100g. the problem is that i cant find proper custom roms for my phone. i am capable of rooting my phone, its just a matter of finding the insecure kernel and flashing it then using superoneclick and then flashing the original kernel back in. but what would i benefit if i cant install custom roms. by the way. to install roms i need clockworkmod recovery right? please some1 help me i really want to do this and experience the full power of android
Thanks in advance =)
What you would benefit if you can't install custom roms? I you can't root your device with those guides that is here I suggest you to not root. You will probably end up bricking your phone.
And btw, searching google for it shows even more sites with guides..did you put any effort at all in trying to find out yourself or are you just lazy?

Cool story bro,...changed my life forever
Seems to me you already know how to root? Now are you asking for custom ROM for i9100g?
You can try CM first.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1583091
And I found you posted in the wrong forum. The following forum is for i9100g. Go dig there is better.

Stop being lazy. Read the information the 2 links above me are a great place to start.
Not a very good 1st post on XDA

There are a few things I would like to do that require root access. I am scared of messing anything up so any help I can get is greatly appreciated.
I would like to control cpu frequency using Antutu Cpu Master Free.
I would like to remove some bloatware apps from my phone also but I am not sure what I absolutely need to keep.
My Phone is the Galaxy S II sgh-t989 Android 4.0.3. My kernel version is 3.0.8-perf-T989UVLE1-CL508451.
What is the easiest way for me to root my phone without needing a custom rom?

dude first and foremost ur posting in the wrong section, this one is meant for the Galaxy s2 I9100 and urs is a T-Mobile galaxy s2 sgh-T989
and the link for the proper thread is Here
please post ur issue in its Q&A section
Hi guys,
So I've had two smartphones: HTC Desire HD and now my current Samsung Galaxy S3 GT-I9300. My S3 is the first phone I've ever rooted and flashed a custom ROM on to.
Stock, Specs:
AP: I9300XXBLG8
CP: I9300XXLH1
CSC: I9300XABLG8
I have read the rooting guide (flashing CF-Root via Odin) and I've flashed two ROMs so far: MIUI and CM10. I suppose I could say that I know the basics of flashing a ROM on to my phone.
I'm on my next crusade in the technology world (coming from a web dev background) wondering where do I go from here?
I know how to flash a ROM, how about customising one?
Where can I find some form of documentation/guide on performing tweaks to a ROM?
Where can I learn the syntax?
How can I go about creating a custom ROM?
How can I reduce my chances of bricking my device (considering I've had it two months)?
I realise I'm probably asking a lot considering I've only ever flashed two ROMs and 2 days ago I was terrified by the idea, but I'm an optimistic guy looking for a new hobby
Any help, however slight, is greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
P.S: sorry if this has been asked before, related threads weren't much help!
Rom building/ Android development is in XDADevelopers.

Their are sticky on SGS2 forum including a guide much of which is relevant to SGS3 .

No intention to immediatly burn you down when you're new here, but since you are new you should read the forum rules and the stickies first. Everything you ask is already explained hundreds of times, so don't start thinking about rooting yet if you don't know what you're doing.
As said above, first start reading and learning. It's the best way.

Welcome to forum!
You don't need to search so much to find how to root your device.. Well, i'll recommend you cyanogen mod, it's a very famous rom i've got installed and i love it. It works very well, it's JB, increases A LOT battery life.. and automatically adds rooot to your phone. http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/index.php?title=Install_CM_for_i9100
You should read guides and stuff, for learning more for your device. In the top of this web, there is a text box to search posts, threads.. If you type in "Custom ROM" you will find a lot of useful information, do the same with all that words you don't understand.
In the bottom of every post, there is a button called "Thanks", if this post was useful to you, click it (just information ). You should do it with every post useful to you, but there is a limit. You should read this post for learning the rules and other forum stuff: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1699450
EDIT: I forgot, please read about root, don't root the phone without knowing what is it. Check en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Android_rooting
