Please read "read before rooting" in my signature. Dont scan the thread looking for a particular answer. Please just read it all. This is all essential information you need to know before rooting.

Root GT-I9100
I have a GT-I9100 and have just plucked up the courage to root it.
I found an article on the AndroidAuthority web site titled:
Samsung Galaxy S2 GT-I9100: How to root Android 4.0.3 firmware XWLP7 and XWLP8
This worked perfectly and allowed me to remove all the Samsung bloatware.

Except GT-I9100G is DIFFERENT to the GT-I9100, and using that procedure will likely brick his phone.
Use the link JJEgan posted to the I9100G sub-forum for this kind of question about your phone

Look under the sticky threads in Q&A and you should have posted there...
Rooting your phone means that you have full access and control to root of your phone..
You probably won't need it and probably if you are not aware of it can cause risk with no reasons. It's full of thread of bricked phone..
What I mean is that, Rooting process is easy, if you read post as suggested by other users in this thread, but if you are happy with your phone and do not feel any specific need to be solved with root do not do it.
One day you will find an app or a specific thing like "wow I love that modded Rom" which work only with rooting.. and so you will root your phone.
That's what happened to me 2 years ago and here in xda I found always all the answers to my issue!
Have fun with your android!

Rooting Samsung S111go allow easy UMS
Hi Guys
I understand the need to root, but have no idea where to begin.
Apparently i need to root my galaxy s3 in order to make use of the EASY UMS APP.
I cannot sync certain programmes that require mass storage.
This is now my 3rd post, but no one on XDA has replied. I am new to Android, having migrated from windows mobile.
I would really appreciate your feedback.

I had a similar problem.. Connected my Samsung S3 mobile to Samsung Kies installed on my Vista Laptop via the USB cable. On Kies Tools Menu, chose the Firmware upgrade and initialisation option.Took a backup of all data on the phone and proceeded with the upgrade process and it restored the phone back to its factory set options..problem resolved!

I wish I'd put it as he did. Having said that the stickys don't really get non programmers there (and maybe that's the idea). The above two links are not relevant to the sch I535. That was careless! NoobDroid is almost as bad with methods that don't work and Youtubes that frustrate.
I rooted a Droid no problem. The vzw are proving frustrating enough to make me change providers. I might go to SPRINT. I don't like vzw politics much anyway.

just flash latest cfroot with odin here's step by step guide for international galaxy s3 http://galaxys3root.com/galaxy-s3-root/how-to-root-galaxy-s3/
No option to "disable recovery flash"
I just got my brand new Galaxy S3 will Jelly bean and followed the instructions on this site.
Everything went fine and until Step 4
Using the custom recovery flash I installed the clockwork mod from my external SD card.
However the instructions say:
"•Upon exiting your custom recovery to reboot first time, you will be asked if you want to "Disable recovery flash", you MUST select Yes"
The problem is that when I exit to reboot I do not get the option to "Disable recovery flash", The phone just reboots.
I assume the phone recovery flashes when it reboots. How can I tell?
What are my options to continue?

[q] need help and ideas

Today I lost my Samsung S3. Can't remember exactly what rom I had on it but I had a working jellybean 4.1 that allow me to use Fox fi/PDA net. I desperately need this program to allow me fast download speeds by Wi-Fi. I do not want to use tether because if my phone is not plugged into a power outlet the battery will die after all night of downloading. Basically I need pointed to a jellybean 4.1 ROM that is super stable. Jellybean 4.1 because Foxfi/PDA net only works with 4.1. Maybe a official jellybean from with just the bloatware gone. I have not been on the site for a while so I need a walk-through of what I need to do first with my phone as soon as I get it. Do I need to root it before I install the ROM? If you guys could tell me what I need to do and the order I need too. Maybe send me the links of the walk-throughs. I would be very grateful. As of right now I feel I'm screwed.:crying: please please help. I'm a Verizon wireless customer also.

I'm not sure which one I have because I receive my new phone tomorrow. But this link that you sent me seems like it should help me dramatically on how to do stuff. If I end up having the 9300 then I see where I can get the stock jellybean 4.1 but if I have the 9305 I'm not seeing it. do I root first or do I flash first before I install ROMs.

You neither root nor flash until you have read the basics .
Root has nothing to do with stock flash .
But please please be sure you know what you are doing first and are in the right forum .
Your older posts are not for this model SGS3 but a USA based version if its the same firmware or mods from International I9300 can easily brick your phone .

If you're still at 4.1.2, lucky you. (Don't upgrade to 4.3 unless you're sure you like all the changes. I personally hate quite a few of them except some layout changes)
Toolkit by mskip is REALLY good. I wish I could still use mine though. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1703488
I'll just quote this from many users. Read carefully and it'll provide you with some basic knowledge of what to expect and what procedures to take before attempting anything
EFS is really important, you should backup it first thing after rooting.
