I was using Kingo Root to root my S3 i9300, until i realized it wasn't working because it kept looping and when i took my phone out it still kept looping with the rooting process(As if my device is still connected). It rebooted my phone once and the problem is it still keeps looping.
But the problem is, it change my Kernel Version to
3.0.31-2788594

Is that stock S3 kernel?
On S3 rooting changes kernel & recovery.
Get back a stable system by flashing latest firmware by Odin. If it boots normally, use cf-auto-root (by Odin, too).

Don't worry. Odin run perfectly if one READS the tutorials CAREFULLY, which is what most people don't seem to do... I never had any problem flashing all kinds of stuff with ODIN.

Well there is no EV04 to my knowledge so if you have a version with this naming sequence that could be your problem.
Now From what I could make out you attempted to root your phone but you didn't say how you did it. For one of us to understand what could be the problem we need more information other then "i tried root with the same way how i root ED01 with CWM 2.5.1.x and ODin."
The only way to "root" with odin or CWM is to flash/push a new ROM that is already rooted. Which if this is your method you may have improperly flashed a ROM which is causing you problem.
Again, I have never seen an Odin root method without using it to push a ROM to the device that is rooted nor have I seen a CWM that roots the phone. I may be wrong but I just have never seen it and I have flashed/rooted the hell out of my device.

You are gonna have to odin back and try again. rooting ED04 that way does just what you explained, it is rootable though Super One Click works just fine on that. my recovery guide has everything you need a how to for recovery, rooting, and any files you may need. Just go here, and with a little reading and time with odin you'll be good to go.
I have a sgs2 and rooted it with odin oneclick... now i cant upgrade to the latest firmware.. i think it's 2.3.4 (or if there is an even newer version out now) since it's rooted, can anyone help me out how to do this upgrade (to latest firmware) the easy way so i dont loose anything on the phone.
My current kernel is 2.6.35.7-I9100XWKDD-CL161513.........
Build number gingerbread xwke2 if this info helps..
Im would be very happy if someone would be so kind and help me with this, thanks in advance for any help.
Can you not use kies? Should still be able to use it rooted.
Root has nothing to do with KIES upgrades... If KIES says "This is the latest firmware" then it is indeed the latest firmware for your country/code... 2.3.4 is not yet released officially to many countries and country codes yet...
If you flashed somewhat BETA or custom ROM you get error like "You cannot upgrade this" or something similiar to that...
I get a error failure report, and to try using kies or something else. I tried doing the upgrade on the phone directly, checking for updates and downloading and installing, but everytime i get this error failure report
My phone is unlocked, and now i flashed it with original kernel to remove that annoying ! mark in bootup, so now i dont have a unsecure kernel any longer... but even with this original kernel now i couldnt upgrade the firmware using only the phone
Is it a must to use kies ? if so i will try it, cause i have a working kies on one computer. I just thought i could do it directly on the phone under checking for updates, but that way dont work for me.
So it does not matter if my phone is rooted when i want to update my firmware to newer like 2.3.4 or newer ?
You can just grab a stock rom from the thread in original dev and flash it via odin, kg6 is a good 2.3.4 rom, kh1 and 3 are a bit unknown at the moment.
Your best bet is to flash cf root on your phone, take a nandroid backup via it, use titanium backup or equivalent for your user apps and user app data (and some system data, as shown in green in the app) and do a full wipe, flash the new stock, and restore using titanium or equivalent.
The nandroid is a snapshot of your phone at the time, which will allow you to roll back to a known good point at any time.

No rooting wont effect kies. Try Kies first, See if indeed there is a update available to you. Like the previous poster said 2.3.4 is not available in all countries yet...
If your desperate to update you can use odin to upgrade the firmware instead..but that will wipe all data on your phone, so you will have to use Titatium Backup first. But if I were you I'd just use kies, and wait for the official update in your country.
Hmm if you can't update with KIES and you don't want to wipe then your best bet is to flash with ODIN with one of the frankenstien firmwares provided at one of the threads in the original development forum.
It did worked using kies on my computer, but it's still 2.3.3... guess it updated something minor then.
Thanks everyone for your help !
Does anyone know if i can remove the question mark in bootup and still be able to overclock the phone ?

Updates are as and when the provider of the phone updates the firmware .
They do not use all Samsung updates and often push them out much later .

Yes via the instructions in root thread
Root + CWM .
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1103399
Or by using the USB jig .

I know after root i can flash with the original, but that seams to remove the possibility to overclock the device but the root are still there after flashing with original.

No you flash root then flash original wipes root .
You would be better to find an overclocking rom and work from the instructions there .

It's flashing the kernel im talking about. When rooting a phone you flash the phone with a unsecure kernel, then after it's rooted you can flash it back to original kernel so the "!" mark wont show in bootup.
Now i wounder how to do that and still keep the overclocking feature, anyone know how to do that ?

If the overclocking features are part of the kernel then flashing original kernel replaces the kernel that has the overclocking features .

Yes that was what o thought Thanks everyone so much for all your help!!
I guess i just have to live with this "!" mark on bootup, no big deal
Look at chainfires post number 2 on this thread to remove triangle and still keep insecure kernal here
Hi everyone I just bought a Galaxy S 2 four days ago. I rooted it with CF root via Odin. Thanks to Chainfire for that. What I wanted to ask was that the kernel just roots the phone and provides us with Superuser and all the rest of the apps. If I make a back up from CWM will it back up my whole Os which is Stock Samsung Touchwiz?
And also I would like to ask, Can I start flashing Roms now through CWM Flash zip option?
I am facing another problem I am trying to check for any updates but the problem is that when i try to check for updates it always says that it has failed even when i am connected to wifi!
Can anyone please help me with that too!
Thanks in advance!

Whole OS and apps but you need first time have an EFS backup seperate see threads .

Only if the rom instructs you to flash via CWM .

OTA updates on phone do nor work use KIES but you have changed your firmware and codes may no longer match for KIES updates .

JJE, sort your quoting out man xD
Anyway.
1) Yes if you make a backup in CWM it will back everything on your phone up, including everything in /system.
2) Yes you can start flashing ROMs.
3) Because you're rooted Kies stuff will not longer work.
I was trying to root my sisters S3 i9300, until the Auto Rooting App i used, didn't work and changed the kernel(without root access available ) and now whenever i try other rooting apps it doesn't work. I think its because of the kernel change it wont let me root. So someone told me to "Get back a stable system by flashing latest firmware by Odin. If it boots normally, use cf-auto-root (by Odin, too). ".
I got ODIN 3.10.6.
Problem:How to flash latest stock S3 i9300 firmware(link would be appreciated) by ODIN?
How to then use CF Auto Root, to root my device?
A video or clearly detailed written tut would be awesome
I know is quite noobish question but YOLO?

All the info you need is in the stickies here, here and here.
I'm glad to help but next time, please use the forum search.
I rooted my phone a few months ago and everything was fine. But recently I was prompted to install to 5.0 Lollipop update. I tried and it failed. After some googling I thought it was the fact that I'm rooted. So I unrooted it and now no matter what I do with ODIN it fails.
I've tried:
Changing my kernel. I tried two different kernels, both failed.
Installing Lollipop through 3 different methods. They all failed. (The OTA update, using ODIN, and through recovery mode using my SD card)
Basically ODIN always fails, and any other one-click root method fails as well. (Towelroot, Kingo App, MobileGo Wondershare)
Backstory: The only thing I can think of causing this much trouble is the fact that when I rooted my phone I had to use an old kernel. Everything was failing so I had to roll back my kernel in order to root. I did that. And then my WiFi stopped working. So I changed my kernel back to the original one. I don't know if this would do anything but figured it was worth mentioning.
The goal is to get the 5.0 update installed on my phone. I will settle for just re rooting my phone though.
Phone info:
Model:
SCH-I545
Android Version:
4.4.2
Baseband Version:
I545VRUFNK1
Kernel Version:
3.4.0
Thu Aug 28 2014
Any ideas on why I can't install this update?
If your phone was modified in any way ie. rooted, frozen/deleted bloatware, etc., you will not be able to take the OTA - even if you unroot. Since you want 5.0 on your phone, I suggest this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...-to-update-to-i545oc1-5-0-1-keeproot-t3096558 . This way, you get a rooted 5.0 system with the option of going back to Kitkat.
OP that sucks, I had this same problem but I fixed it by flashing the ROM in this forum using Odin on my computer :http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...ment/rom-i545oc1-5-0-1-100-stock-mdk-t3097902
There are some things that don't work right though

Thanks for the suggestions.
I'm trying that but every time I click a download like I got a 'page not found'. Any other way to get this flash fire app?
I know in the directions it says to flash fire, but if the download link doesn't work or something you can just use Odin on you computer to flash it.
That's what I did because it didn't even work when I tried to use flash fire on my phone.
