If I am not wrong, there is and you can find it by Google or xda search as you are not the first asking it. The only thing you have to be aware of is that you won't get original state without wipe and reflash.

My SGH-T999 is stuck at boot screen after i restarted it because it wasn't responding after opening up a music player called playnow.

What "stock" did yoy flash? I suggest you flash back to to stock FIRMWARE. Download it from sammobile.com
There must be something wrong with the kernel

Anything you find here is for I9300 model. You should ask in the correct forum for your phone to avoid any confusion which may further worsen your phone condition.

Hi,
Does anyone knows, how to resolve this problem?
When i flash with a stock rom, every thing is ok, but if i root it, the device status change.
In trakning this topic " http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1695238&page=131" but looks like there is a lot of info....but nothing is working.
Thank you.
Because you've modified your device by flashing a custom kernel....modified device = modified status. Normal device = normal status.

He is correct cf root does not use a modified kernel to root S3s but you are still technically making adjustments to your s3 when you flash cf root. This is why u will always have modified status after rooting.
The 1st few paragraphs of the cf root thread probably explain it better than me lol
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda premium
Anything that replaces the recovery and and stock kernel is deemed "custom" although cf-root is based on the stock Samsung kernel, the fact you have to use Odin in order to flash it is deemed as "modifying" your device....hence the modified status

Ok, then what is the solution to have root, with JB, and not having, the device status modified.... just like before JB.
The "problem", we lost the Samsung updates...

Losing Samsung updates is not a problem for XDA members we don't use the OTA or Kies route .
First job is to remove Kies and delete OTA app .

Ain't gonna happen its always been the way with s3 even on ics, you root and you will have a modified status. But as jjegan already said here on xda you don't worry about ota/kies updates just flash new versions through Odin software and your good to go.

Can i flash stock recovery with mobile odin
you can't flash a stock recovery. it comes with a stock rom, and mobile Odin is made exactly for flashing stock roms

So i can go to stock rom with mobile odin?
And bydeway i already flashed stock recovery with mobile odin and in works...
I was pretty sure there isn't a stock recovery separately from the rom.
of course you can flash a rom with mobile Odin, that's what it's for

You where wrong about the stock recovery flash it is possible...
But can i flash stock samsung rom with mobile odin and will it then make everything stock(recovery)(rom)and modified status too...
you are asking the same question for the third time, read my replies.
you will need to use Triangle Away, unroot, then factory reset for everything to be stock

heres my suggestion
once you already went back to stock rom, then your traiangle away but still want your phone rooted. what you can do is to search here in XDA the CFAutoroot for our S3 and your system status still be NORMAL. works for me
I used cf auto root and have always had stock rom. I still have modified status.

Hi I'm new here. I'm planning to root my Samsung Galaxy S III. Is there something I need to check or take note before proceeding? Everything in my device is in stock.
And by the way, do I need to root my device in order to flash stock/custom roms? Is there any differences between flashing updated stock roms and updating via software update? TIA
You need to read the basic stickied faqs and guides first.
Like backup EFS.
Why root when you dont know what its for ..?

You do not need root to flash stock roms whereas for custom ones yes.

Am I right to presume that I can flash this via sg2 recovery and it will replace the recovery with philz recovery
Also does this rooting method stop the emmc brick bug?

I believe philz has patched that particular problem.....read the thread thoroughly and see if you can find reference to 'emmc cap erase command'.....I *think* this is the command code that causes the problems........
