Problems/doubts related to rooting the phone

I was going through threads on rooting, ROMs, kernels and bricking. Before reading threads about bricking I wanted to root my phone but after reading I got scared of bricking my phone which I think is difficult to debrick (unbrick).
Is it really the case that we cannot debrick the phone at home? Is it ok to root with such a consequence?

All I can say is if you're that worried about it, don't root your phone or flash anything. Leave it on stock & enjoy it.
Is it possible to change ROM without rooting the phone?
And what are the chances of bricking the phone while rooting? And if bricked what is procedure to make it as earlier

use this to root your S2...It is 100% risk free. However use only if u are on ICS
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1501719
Also, read everything before u flash a rom/kernel..95% of them get bricked without reading or consulting properly

I read it, but I didn't not find anything written as it won't brick the phone. So just wanted to confirm even if I made any mistake, it won't brick my phone, right?

The thing is u are just installing CWM and busybox that gives you root by that method mentioned. Believe me i was also afraid and i rooted using that method..took hardly 30s lol
And it wont wipe anything..
Just go ahead..u aint flashing any inseure kernel or any rom..so there is no chance of bricking..Go ahead

i was trying to root my SGS2 using this method but i never found file CWM.zip file in the "apply updates from external storage" options. i tried to moving it to sdcard (main folder), creating a folder in sdcard and by moving it to folder android under sdcard (which is visible in those options) but couldn't find CWM.zip file. i use volume up + home key + power button to go to recovery mode.
plz help me regarding that why i couldn't find that file
Done with rooting.

[Q] I bricked my galaxy s3

Okay so i rooted my gs3 and got through it but then i change my mind about it and wanted to unroot it, that is when i discovered that i couldn't get root access, so i thought "i'll just root it again properly this time" i know so stupid of me. So i found this tut on how to do it right and i used the file from shiyahkernel as listed on the site. So i rooted it in ofin abd got a green pass, but then my gs3 turned on beginning flashing the icon from shiyahkernel and won't stop doing that.
I can still access download mode and recovery mode. I am pretty much a noob so please go in to details
Can anyone help me?
PLEASE PLEASE HELP ME!
Go into recovery and do a full wipe or...
Flash a stock Rom from sammobile.com
There's plenty of guides in this forum on how to do it.

Someone help me with my new galaxy SIII

First off my English isn't perfect so its hard for me to understand how some things work.
I have a galaxy SIII I9300 4.1.1.
Can you upgrade a galaxy S3 4.1.1 to 4.2.1?
I want CM 10.1 on my galaxy S3 but i need version 4.1.1.
I once tried putting CM 10.0.0 on it but it wouldn't work, So i searched it up on google and it said i need a dutch version of Cm10.0.0 or something( My phone is dutch)( I am dutch )
If someone can help me i would realllllllyyy appreciate it. i have been youtubing and googling for a long time but cant find anything that really helps me.
So if you're that one nice guy that like to help me! Leave a post with your skype and we will talk!
Since you have an I9300, you need to be in that section. This is for the Tmobile US version T999. I will move your thread and hopefully someone in your section will be able to help you.
Good luck.

Owh okay! Thanks!
From what I heard, International version of galaxy s3 is unable to get cm10 because Samsung hasn't release the hardware or software codes yet? I may be wrong or even way off but something along those lines

If you want to install cgm 10.1 on your S3 you can download the zip file of the latest version of the Rom and if you have already rooted your S3 you have to install that zip using the recovery.
If you haven't rooted your s3 you have first of all to root it.
Where did you read that you need a particular version of the original rom to install cgm?

Have you used triangle away to reset the counter? it's important for the warranty!
So here you can find information about version 10.0 of cgm for i9300. Read the last posts to download the last release of the cm10 rom.

To boot recovery you have to use vol up + home + power. Is cwm installed?

Black screen after boot! HELP (URGENT

Hi, I'm new here so bare with me.
I just rooted my Samsung S3-I9300 hours ago. And I was pumped up, what I did later on is I installed bootanimation and I didn't quite understand how to use it and I still don't, but in the end I got it to work but the logo was too small but this isn't the problem. I entered recovery mode and I don't know what I extracted or installed and I rebooted my device and all I hear is the Samsung booting music and that's all. My screen is black.
Your help is appreciated.

Yes, it is booting. I can see the back button and the options button lit. It's just black.
BUMP.
I would probably wipe data in recovery mode, and last case scenario flash official firmware from sammobile.com.
This will make you lose all your saves and stuff though.
Wipe cache and/or full wipe. If still nothing, reflash ROM. It happened to me long time ago, nothing to worry about.

And how do I do that? I'm a major noob with these things currently. Do I have to use my PC and ODIN?
do you really think you're the first person to ask that and the info is not available? use search
read the basics before asking questions.

If you didnt make a backup, yes, use ODIN to flash a stock ROM.
You can find out which rom you currently have in settings/about phone.
Download the rom from sammobile.com and flash with ODIN.
