Helo, im new and i recently bought a samsung S3 i9300. I've been reading a lot about the sudden death, but i prefer to solve some doubts before trying to do some root things... (please sorry if my english isn' good).
I want to root my phone , but im not so sure if my device or firmware is already "fixed" or something (i'll attach the data at end).
I need to know in case that it's fixed... what are the better way to root it (i mean less risky). For example via Odin or Via CWM, CF-root or another method. idk, im confused by now..
im new to this phone and i dont want to brick it or something...
Here is the data of the Device and firmware, etc:
Model: GT I9300

Remember, read the stickies, but if you're unsure of anything, ask. It's easier to set you straight before you do anything than to fix something after you've done it

Ok, i've readed a lot about rooting & flashing... i just want root acces for the apps that need it.. yet dont have intention to flash a custom rom, so i think the Cf-AutoRoot is the best option, whitout the custom repair mode and the apps.
I just have one doubt left about the sudden death. Is that a flashing or rooting issue?
In that case, how can i know if my i9300 have or not the "fix".
I am on a stock 4.1.2 (all the data of device in the first post)

As previously stated, 4.1.2 has the fix. Rooting does not affect this. It does not change your firmware version

1) i have sgs2 GT-i9100 no i9100P or N or G or etc... i want to root it and i want it step by step if you will.
2) if i root my device can i update the software with automatic updates or i will need to flash the updates like flashing a new ROM?
3) Does ROM Manager work on sgs2 just like DHD?

Read the quick root tutorial please.

If you're going to use Rom Manager, do not use Clockwork Recovery. Rom Manager tends to break CW & can also cause bootloops. So you either use one or the other

Everything you need to know is in Stickies. If you're expecting easy/to be spoonfed it ain't gonna happen.
If you start messing with your phone before you understand what it is you're doing I can almost guarantee you'll soft brick your phone & potentially be without it for a day or two until you figure out how to fix it. And worse case you may hard brick it.
So...Start reading.
MistahBungle is totally right ...
But because I am/was a rookie to several days/weeks ago, i will help you as far as i can.
Put XDA on your device and you can read all around

You need to install KIES on your Desktop or Laptop ... If so, download ODIN from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=611625&d=1306787405

Hi
I got hold of a S2 and would like to know if there is a CF-Root option for this phone ... details of the updated phone:
Model: GT-9100G

I9100GXXKL4

No. If you flash I9100 firmware (rom or kernel) on your I9100G you will brick it. Try this thread.

You mention your links ... but all I see there is:

GT-I9100G_ZCKHI4_insecure
How is this relevant to my version?
How would I know exactly what kernels are in that thread ? Have you read past the first page or searched the thread ? Thought not Have you bothered to search for yourself ? Again, I doubt it.

It's nice to blast when you have the answers ... the forum is for questions ... even in the last few pages in your thread (as this is one of the latest builds) ... people are asking the same question on the version with no answers from you ... so that is why I asked the question.
If you were looking for a version and didnt know where to find it ... Im sure you would love getting a response like this? ... And I have flashed and rooted my tablet and sgs1 ... for this specific build on the s2 I didnt see it ... so perhaps if its not the biggest amount of brain-drain for you ... please could you provide a link maybe? ... It would others find it fast too ... you do have an extensive number of posts ... and a 1st page find for a new version just helps people looking for it .... what you think?
Me provide a link after that little tanty ? Um, how about no ? Not going to happen.

I actually have been searching on the build number and have not found any answer on it. I wouldn't have asked the question if I found the answer. Previously I have found all the answers for my tablet and sgs1 here with no need to ask as I could fine relevant version to flash them and root them. If I don't need to talk to anyone about it I wouldnt ... just with so many versions of phones even the sgs1, it is a risk to get hold of the wrong versions.
Anyway .. too much tıme and effort wasted already just writing the comments on this question. Thanks for showing interest

I have the same exact setup as you. Were you able to find out how to root your phone? I search all through that CF-Root thread but can't find a matching kernel... maybe we should try to do a request in that thread for XXKL4?

Hi .. yes I got it sorted (but not wıth the help or direction from the guys above) ... I now have the g version rooted and flashed (althought I have the yellow triangle on boot - Im not worrıed about that, root more ımportant). If you have pre v 2.3.6 then you can root it without using odin. Odin causes the triangle. If you have not udpated to yet and are on 2.3.5 or earlier let me know as there is ways to root and get the Clockworkmod Recovery loaded without using Odin, thus not increasing the binary counter.
I also have the international version which was pre 2.3.6 so I got that rooted etc all fine this way and then flashed it (from the internal SD to ICS 4.0.3 without increasing the counter).

Thanks for your answer. Unfortunately my phone is brand new (1 day old) and I installed the latest Samsung OTA update already (stupid, I know) so I am on 2.3.6 with kernel 2.6.35.7 [email protected] #2 and build XXLB1.
I want to get an ICS ROM running ASAP but I'm only familiar with HTC phones and not Samsung root methods. I'm not sure if I can use SuperOneClick or if I have to use Odin (and which kernel to use?) ... there's a lot of info out there but it's really hard to find someone with my exact model/rev and I don't want to brick my new baby!
It sounds like I should use Odin, but could you explain what kernel you used when you rooted? Thanks very much!!
EDIT: Not sure this matters as far as which kernels I can flash, but my baseband is I9100GXXKL4.

Hi ... I had the same concerns ... 1 day old and how not to brick it ... In the end I just decided to go at it and get it sorted. I downloaded the following ROM to flash with ODIN (I9100GXWKJ2_I9100GODDKJ2_INU.zip) ... you can get it from hotfile.com (http://hotfile.com/dl/147046000/0697ece/I9100GXWKJ2_I9100GODDKJ2_INU.zip.html) ... I loaded it in Odin (phone in download mode) using the PDA option (if the zip has a password, just use the following as the password: samfirmware.com) ... completed and phone is back ... go back to download mode and get the following kernel (MyGKernelV1.1.1_CWM5 i9100G) from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1327509
Enjoy
just sharing on how we can remove the yellow triangle on boot of G s2..
>Assuming you have already rooted with any rooted kernel (ex: myGkernel/superatmos kernel)
>Run “HC-ktool”. Tap "Dump current kernel", then Tap "Reboot to Download Mode"
>When in Download Mode, start Odin, connect the phone and flash any stock Samsung kernel. Phone will reboot itself after that.
>Run “ktool” again Tap "Flash kernel from /sdcard/zImage" (zimage should be the zimage file of ur rooted kernel...copy this zImage in sdcard), then Tap "Reboot"...done
thanks for the info everyone, unfortunately i had issues with my gs2g (mp3 player skipping, gps not locking location well) and so i returned it. it's a beautiful phone but i thought it was too expensive for me to deal with any issues. now i'm hoping for the HTC one x soon! b
best wishes !

You can upgrade it and there is plenty of threads here about it. I suggest you to read more before doing anything.
Basically if your phone is rooted, get Odin, download ROM you want and flash it according to instructions.

No.
If you have all the tutorials you need then follow them.
End of topic.
PS: if you have a clear question then ask it first but dont reply to someone helping you by "I have all the tuto I need" but I have X or Y question.
It works like this here: you ask a clear question nicely, you will probably get a clear answer.
Anyway your topic sucks because that's a lack of respect for all those who bothered putting a tutorial to explain how to do.
You can not use a basic search and yet want to "upgrade your phone"??

You can flash any ROM designed for your phone model. You might want to use one which is released for your region so your modem works well.

The M250K in your baseband version makes me think this is a Korean variant? Personally I'd probably ask a question in this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1097347 before flashing anything.

U might try downloading the ROM for ur device, then follow this steps:
1. Copy the ROM to Ur memory
2. Put in into Recovery Mode (when the phone is booting press (VOLUME UP + HOME)
3. Depending of the ROM u gonna flash u ll follow the steps for the installation, but remember before flashing any ROM different to the one u already have always WIPE DATA TO FACTORY.
4. Flash the ROM
5. Restart
Note: Ur phone doesn't need to be rooted to change the ROM

The website is called xda developers,not xda beginners. Pretty much everybody is writing tutorials and ROMs etc is doing it on their own time,for free. That time they have spent is a lot longer than the time it would take you to read a little and understand exactly what you need. So many people manage to change their firmware every day thanks to this site,without clogging up the message board with the same question that god knows how many people have already pointlessly posted this week alone.

i have a rooted s3 I9300XXLH1. (4.0.4)
I was getting all time the Upgrade message so i decided to upgrade. First upgrade attemt was giving errors..
When i bought it i had rooted it with toolkit v5 or 6 (not sure).

Via XDA stock firmwares post or sammobile.com or samsung-updates.com
Read the basic faqs and guides posted in the General section before doing anything .
Stock flash via Odin will require root again .

Most importantly, is your phone GT-i9300? Because S3 has various models and can not messed up the ROM
Actually, personally think the region code doesn't matter at all.
You should spent a little more time in general section, everything you need lays right over there

Be patient, it's not complicated as you thought. As matter of fact, I brought my Nexus S 18 months ago, then I immediate (like 20 minutes reading the thread and 10 minutes of preparation and operation ) unlocked bootloader and rooted it , I didn't even know "Android "before I got that phone!!!
if you mother language is not English, you can search some thread with your own language thread which should make it easier.
Just be patient reading these thread, don't be panic, this is not anything emergency, you have lots lots time doing this.

First calm down. Second go here: http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/2/
There are instructions there on how to check your firmware and options to sort out what firmware you should download.

If you are in Greece this link will take you to Sammobile firmwares, make sure you do have i9300 international then download the lates version i9300XXELLA and flash it using Odin which you already have.
Make sure you understand how to flash via Odin by reading the Odin thread if you do it wrong you will just have an expensive brick

Get it?

Hi,
After my warranty has expired, I have rooted my phone (flashed CWM-based Recovery v5.5.0.4) to be able to use root-enabled apps, which I don't use anymore. I didn't not flash custom firmware and stayed with stock. Now I hear there is an official update to 4.3, which I would very much like to install. However, the OS fails to check for updates with the following message:
Your device has been modified. Software updates are not available
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I have tried removing the root using "Full unroot" option in the SuperUser app settings, which have promptly removed the app after a reboot. This didn't not solve the problem. The question is what is the easiest way to install an official update? Do I need to flash stock recovery? Where can I get one? How do I do that? Do I need to reset the flash counter? How do I do that? Or can I do it some easier way? I don't really care if the root stays or not, however, I would prefer not to loose data and make as few dangerous steps as possible (especially the ones requiring to take out the battery or unplug the USB cable at "right" time...).
Thanks in advance for detailed info and/or pointers to relevant tutorials.

Couldn't find any info on whether an update through Kies preserves the /data partition? I understand that probably there is just no sense wiping it, but would still appreciate if someone confirmed this.

Very interesting read. Many thanks. In fact reading the list of root advantages made me want to have root again... though now I don't have the SU binary and not sure how to get it back. I guess I'll have to do the rooting process again after installing new ROM. Btw, does flashing stock ROM restore stock recovery too?

I've just read it more carefully (text below huge Samsung logo). It was pushed, but since I got my phone in Germany, the update is only for G4. An update to G3 is only available in US. That is probably why my Kies doesn't show any updates yet and no updates would be available via OVA even if I had it working...

Yes its preserved but only a fool has no backup .
Kies is a Samsung tool you will not find much information about Kies as its not a development tool .

I do have a backup and was merely asking to find out whether I will have to use it or not. Perhaps I would choose to postpone the update if it meant that I would have to go though the process of restoring from backup which is not easy. So I am no fool and my hearing is good enough. I appreciate your help, but please quit insulting me.
