Guys i got to root my phone and install cyanogenmod 10.1, am familiar with doing it.. just confirm if am going correct,:
1) Downloaded the latest nightly (cm10.1), odin3, GS3 usb drivers installed, and siyah (.tar)...
2) backupd all my contacts and messages,
3) put the phone in download mode.. connect usb,.. flash siyah kernel via odin.,
4) remove usb cable, put the phone in recovery mode.,
5) do a wipe, clear cache, system reset(internal)..,
6) install zip from sd .. flash the cm10 nightly, then again the gapps.
7) reboot.
am i going correct?? should i proceed.
besides if someone would let me know their views on cm10.1 , as its mentioned tha " graphics: bad performance, lags " is that something really to be botherd about..?

Thanks, atleast answer this, is the chainfire root v6.4 safe from sudden death issue,..? i really screwd my s2 last time due to that bug and dont want s3 to share the same fate.. little help would be appreciated.
You are better using auto root and then flashing a recovery like Phil's that includes the fix, but I'm not sure if Chainfire updated the old cf root, if he did then it should be fine, check his thread to see if he updated it with the fix

Nope he has not updated it., would you recommend going for siyah 1.8.9 as it gives auto root and its mentioned that its safe from the issue.
Should be ok, you will still need to flash a protected recovery I presume

see .. if i flash siyah.. i get root + recovery.. and after flashing cyanogenmod 10.1 the kernel would be replaced by cm kernel, which is free from that issue ( acc to some thread),and i guess siyah's recovery is protected as he has mentioned it in the changelog..

Hi,
I just got my Android and happened to Root it with a firmware containing CWM because I really had no clue as to what it was. Now I would want to be able to remove this icon CWM from my phone. I have tried flashing the kernel to no avail. Please help me with a step by step procedure to remove it since I'm absolutely new to Androids. My S2 runs gingerbread 2.3.6. I did check the web but am so confused with all the options provided.
Thanks in advance.

It is strongly recommended to back up stock ROM before u give try to Custom ROM.
*#1234# - Check your Firmware version before u do Rooting and make a note some where
You can use those information to download your STOCK ROM from many website (google them)

Since you are rooted, use any file explorer with root access and delete the cwm manager.apk.
Second option is use root un-installer and uninstall the cwm manager

in some Firmwares CWM is included in system applications, so cant simply uninstall it, you can use Titanium backup application to uninstall system apps,
But before uninstalling better you learn more about Rooting and the functions of this app and other root apps. This is a very usefull app in the rooted and Clockwork mod installed devices, for rebooting into recovery easily, kernel flashing, backing up of the Rom ect..
you can have informations from below sticky thread as well as from my signature links.

I installed CWM to test some custom ROMs on my device. What if for some i reason i have to take my mobile to service center.
Will they charge me (even if my device is under warranty) because i have installed CWM?
Do I really need to remove CWM? If yes, how??

Yes you will need to remove root so flash Sam firmware with mobile Odin and don't root. Now back to stock. :thumbup:

Thanks for replying andrewwright!! (you too "theunderling"!!:angel
I haven't actually installed CWM yet and came here to clear my this doubt.
Why Sam Firmware (if Sam = Samsung) while my device is XOLO q800? Can I take a backup of my my stock firmware in some way because XOLO is not a popular brand and I won't get much support(stock firmware) over internet.
Also, I read somewhere that particular firmware corrosponds to a particular chipset(mine is MT6589), is it true??
I would really appreciate if you can provide a link for reference where I can read further or otherwise some people will keep yelling here "noob......noob"

Probably yes!
Please post your Rom details.
I used a similar method to root my sgs2 for the first time a long time ago...anyway i had the same problem, what happened was that it only rooted the phone for me and for cwm i had to flash cwm 4(latest at the time) as a .tar file so maybe that will fix it...try it!

Hey bud, If you want to check if you are properly rooted or not try updating script in su or download a root only app like titanium backup & run it. If it comes up with a permission request then all good you're rooted. As for the cwm app, many people including myself avoid it like the plague as it can have incompatibility problems with "cwm recovery" which is different to the "cwm app". If you must have it you can download from the playstore, but make sure you flash zips through recovery not the app.
CWM is part of the kernel, so if you want it you must flash such one like CF-Root or Siyah.

Thanks for ur helpful replies, I was able to download CWM and reflash it using Odin, however when I tried installing new ROMs using CWM recovery mode, the phone wouldnt start, although that when I finish installing the .zip file everything seems to be done correctly, but my phone just wouldnt launch, when I turn it on I get the Samsung GT-i9100 and the yellow ( ! ) mark cause I didnt flash a secure kernel yet, then its gets stuck on the resurrection remix loading phase
Any inputs guys ? regarding I was able to restore the stock rom and launch the phone regularly, but now I can not :crying:
Can you get to recovery or download mode?

U can check root by root checker app at play store.

Hi Guys,
Now, I'm not the least bit knowledgeable about rooting, mods, or ROMs, or even what they are. All I know is that the two bottom vibrating keys don't work after I had to reinstall a new screen.So I got the Virtual-Button bar, and ended up rooting my I9300 with CWM and SuperSU and Odin.
It's been working great for a few months. Now here's the problem.
I got a software update today, and I didn't even think about it before downloading it. Then when it rebooted, here is what it says.
Virtual Button Bar: Unable to execute as root
CWM: This version of CWM Manager should be used with CF-Root v.5.0 or newer. It apperas you are running a different kernel. Various features have been disabled. (Current kernel unknown)
SuperSU: has no apps configured, but I have no way of configuring any apps because I dont have the "right-click" touch-button....
Any ideas on what to do??? I need to either unroot and re-root or find a way to fix it....
Thank you so much!
Sounds like you've lost root access. If so, you can try flashing siyah kernel through odin. This kernel has a handy root/unroot option. Also once its flashed, it auto roots your phone. let me know if this works.
Just FYI: this probably happened because the software update flashed the stock kernel which would have unrooted your phone. Flashing siyah should fix your problem

Sorry about siyah thread i should have been a bit clearer. here's a link to the dev's website http://d-h.st/users/siyah/s3. from here you can download "Siyah-s3-v1.5.3.tar" this is the one that you can use with odin. From here, assuming you already have odin on you computer, you can put your phone in download mode and flash this kernel.

actually since you've already rooted the phone once before. y not to root the phone the same way? i guessing you rooted the phone by using cf root right?
Your problem is that the OTA update flash the stock recovery and kernel. Just reflash CF Root and it should be ok.

If you are using the Kernel from this Thread:

Then try to wipe Cache and if that doesn`t help, you can try a factory reset but I would backup all your apps + data, so that you can restore them afterwards. And if that doesn`t help just flash another ROM. There are plenty good ones to choose from here on XDA, that are based on the newest Samsung Firmware base.
BTW the XXELLB base is not the newest one.

Ive run that rom on a S2 for months not one problem,only recently moved to S3 to find out it has issues with sod and such like i'm just trying to be safe and not kill the phone.
Choice use the rom and follow the devs instructions .
Use Philz and ignore the instructions.
