Thanks in advance - code3h

Well, why don't you follow these threads? Just start with reading about the emmc brick bug to avoid the risks that come with 4.0.4.

And a warning flashing onon this firmware can lead to u hardbrick

There aren't any absolutely specific instructions, same method to root as any other version (search/learn/read). Flash Odin version of Siyah so you're free of the brickbug then you can flash whatever you want/wipe.etc.
Edit - Post above mine. Again, you'd better be around to hold the OP's hand when he has questions about using the method you linked to from another site (which frankly is convoluted and contains so many unnecessary steps it ain't funny). The rest of us won't be. Stop doing that.

Thanks, but is there any tutorials with in XDA ?

As you've already been told (reading not a strong point eh ?), yes. Guides.
They're simple if you take your time. If you don't, you may well break your phone.

The guy only will respond to and press the Thanks-button for those who give him answers he likes. He just ignores the rest.
If he bricks his device, it's his own fault.

[Q] baseband question

hello can a admin delete this thread please
THORMUNZ said:
hi i was wondering if i were to get a gs3 and use custom roms do i have to worry about losing service with sprint or do i have to update the baseband? if i do lose service can i fix the baseband or something? i'm asking this because i had a metro phone once and i flash it to another rom from another phone and i couldn't call or anything and i had to take it to metro and i paid $30 and i don't want that to happen to the gs3 that i want to get.

The only thing happening can be that with flashing another rom it might include a different radio/modem that might give you worse connection.
Nevertheless you can flash your region's specific radio separate (for that look in General stickies for the modem/radio collection).
WARNING
If you are on Sprint you are in the wrong section and you risk bricking your phone if you flash anything from the international i9300 forum

[Q] Flashing a stock ROM

Hi,
I've got some problem with the mini USB port and I'd like to send send it to samsung for the warranty. I need to install a stock ROM but I can't do it with Odin.
Is it possible to flash a stock ROM with a .zip through CWM?
use mobile Odin. don't forget to reset the counter.
ps our phone uses micro usb, not mini
which counter are you talking about?
is there a free version of mobile odin? I can't find it
camille48 said:

There is in XDA , search it inside forum.
The counter he talks about is Samsung bootloader count how many times of custom ROM has been flashed in order to kill your warranty, but relax, mobile Odin doesn't increase the count.
More info about this, search "triangle away "
But be careful with firmware you flash into the phone, because triangle away is still unable to reset count number in latest bootloader

resetting the counter requires root
but installing a ROM after resetting the counter will change it?
good
can you be more specific?

Apologies if I'm hijacking this thread, but this problem is almost exactly the same as mine. The microUSB on my S3 is also broken and I need to unroot before I send it to Samsung, however I'm having real trouble with SuperSU. It keeps saying installation failed when I open the app and am prompted to update it and I can't get Triangle Away to work as it says it is not being given superuser permissions. I figure I need Triangle Away to unroot my phone so is there any way to rectify this?

Go to Google Play, dl and install the free version of Super User from Google Play. Perhaps your version is corrupted.

If successful with Super User dl from Google Play then do an xda search for Mobile Odin Lite v3.57. No need for USB port. BTW: Are you certain that you are rooted?

One other IMPORTANT thing: Before you use Mobile Odin, make certain that your model phone is supported, there is a list of supported phones, just search for it.

Here's where I found a good guide for newbies:

Read and fully understand all of it before you proceed and note all cautions!
Then go here for the Stock ROMs to flash:

Make certain you have the correct stock ROM for your country code.
Please take the time to read and do not proceed until you fully understand everything...it will save you countless headaches. My personal rule: "If You Don't Completely Understand It Then You're Not Ready To Do It."... works for me!

Help moving from stock to Nougat

Hi guys, I've read a lot of the posts here and am looking for the simplest way to go from the latest Sony firmware on a sgp312 to a custom ROM.
As far as I can see I need to root the tablet via kingroot backup the TA partition and unlock the bootloader. Then can I just flash via adb a custom ROM with recovery kernel?
Appreciate any help you can give with this.
Thanks
