Hi all,
I've been advised on another forum that this is the place to come for help/advice on rooting my phone.
I have an international S3 GT-I9300
Android Version: 4.1.2
Baseband Version: I9300XXEMG4
Kernel Version: 3.0.31-1314436
[email protected] #1
Build Number: JZ054K.I9300XXEMG4
I have been toying with the idea of rooting for a while, and am soon to be changing my phone for a Nexus 5, so I want to have a play before I change.
Just have a few questions that need answering if possible:
1. If I back up with Helium can I restore from back-up once device is rooted, or am I better getting and using Titanium Back Up?
2. Can I restore contacts etc from cloud?
3. What programs do I need, I already use Odin to flash stock firmwares?
4. Is there an idiots guide anywhere that I can follow step-by-step?
and lastly for now,
5. I'd like a fast ROM with good battery life that doesn't need updating/re-flashing every few weeks.
I mainly use my phone for browsing, gaming and camera if that helps?
I'm sure I'll have a few more questions but that's all I can think of at the moment.
Thanks in advance for your help

Hello to every1
I am a newbie to android, I recently bought a GT-I900 and I would like to root the phone and install a custom stock firmware.
phone details are as:
Baseband I9100NELS1
Kernel Version:3.0.31 [email protected] #3
Build number: JZO54K.I9100XWLSD
the phone is also locked to three network UK
Please help me on how to root it and install a custom firmware as I hate all the apps that come preinstalled with.
1) This is a question, so post in the Q&A-section, or ask a moderator to move this.
2) Your android version is (surprise!) 4.1.2, so look for guides to root JB.
3) For further questions: read the whole General section for information.
Damn, the WHOLE general forum?
Boy he's in for a few allnighters

Exactly. What you need to do is some searching/reading & learning on your own.
Reported post for user not searching/reading and wanting to be spoon fed.
Rule #1 is to use the Search function.
This phone is not new by any means, so that answers are all out there. Just look in the General, Q&A and Development Stickies and the answers you will find.

hello, this is Ahmed from Egypt.
note : i had iphone 4 before and am new in android.
i got samsung galaxy s3 GT-i9300 1 year ago , i tried to update it OTA but it had lag on 4.1.2 so i rooted it ( i thought rooting make it better and faster ) but i didn't really find any changes.
so i used Odin3 3.07 to update my phone to android 4.2.2 leaked ( i didnt know that there is custom rom i thought all are official like apple ios)
now it's 4.2.2 : had alot of lags ! battery drain , SD card 32GB kingstone don't really work i got slow bug and camera photoes don't open on the SDcard... etc of unlimited freezing and bugs.
i downloaded EGY firmware 4.1.2 from : samsung-updates website
EGY-I9300XXEMF6-20130816232718
but when i tried to flash my phone to this ROM , once it's done , the phone stuck on the logo screen and kept rebooting !!
i really don't know what to do i think i missed something up ,
the 4.2.2 firmware is I9300XXUFME7_I9300OXAFME7_OXA -- i made flash back to it
please help me! and post a guide or tutorial to understand everything about basic android flashing methods and definitions and cautions i have to take before doing this.
and i read on some website about ESF files is it like .SHSH blobs in iphone ?
thanks in advance !

Hi,
We have a sticky thread all about IMEI / EFS issues. This is because if you do a search here now, you'll find literally hundreds of threads all about the same thing.
Please go to:
general > Sticky roll-up thread > "IMEI / EFS - Know this stuff"
... have a read. If you have further questions, please feel free to ask them in that thread. We set it up to try and keep the forum tidy.
Thanks
Ps please be careful where you post questions. They should go in q&a. General is not for questions

So, it seems that I have completely wiped my OS from the phone. And now i'm not able to really do anything. Wondering if you guys could lead me to a link where I can download the stock OS or something like that. Just so i'd be able to use it again because right now it's not doing anything. I was trying to install cyanogenmod and than I messed up along the way and didn't have a backup, although I thought I had made one. I really need to know if I've permanently screwed my phone because I don't have a lot of money to buy a new one.
