Hey guys,
Just got an S3 and I need help rooting it and installing a custom rom. So far I'm clueless cause I was using bmm to install custom rom on my atrix 2. Read the comments on play store and saw alot of negative reviews for twrp and cwm. So any ways to help root and installing custom rom on S3 would be helpful! Thanks

hey guys, well I've just rooted my device as you can tell from the above title. I've downloaded rom manager, have superSU pre-installed prior to the root and now I'm clueless on how to flash roms. what do I do from here? how do I install roms? I've also used sony's backup and restore app to backup my stuff. what's the next approach? help please! sorry guys this is my first time rooting an android device. :/ any help would be gladly appreciated!
What method did you use for root? In order to flash Roms you need CWM recovery. You can get that by flashing any of the custom kernels.

Hello,
Sorry if I am posting a thread that already exists as I searched but dint find anything. I have the Siyah kernel but how do i install 2nd rom on the phone. Do i have to clone the 1st rom to 2nd and then boot into 2nd and install? Could someone please direct to correct procedure installing 2 roms on my S3. Also If I wanted to convert the custom roms to ODIN flash-able using Windows is it possible through a software perhaps?
Thanks.

-Download stock ICS v4.0.3 firmware from sammobile.com
-Install via Odin.
-Install custom kernel. / use this method
ROOTED.
Have you even bothered searching? Theres an exact same post regarding rooting and upgrading GB to ICS in the newbies thread today itself. Here. and a dozen more results that show up if you only search. If you have difficulty understanding some term, or some steps, chances are someone else has had the very same doubt and asked and had it solved. If you cant find that, ask. People will help. But do try yourself first eh?
Theres also another exact post he made about the same thing.
Im asking many times cz im new at this

My problem is that nothing is working with my samsung i tried alot of ways to root it

The information is all there you just have to search for it.
Just a tip...... Opening numerous threads about topics that have been discussed a million times isn't the best thing to do, it will annoy people.
Good luck, the truth is out there.

Okay so i rooted my gs3 and got through it but then i change my mind about it and wanted to unroot it, that is when i discovered that i couldn't get root access, so i thought "i'll just root it again properly this time" i know so stupid of me. So i found this tut on how to do it right and i used the file from shiyahkernel as listed on the site. So i rooted it in ofin abd got a green pass, but then my gs3 turned on beginning flashing the icon from shiyahkernel and won't stop doing that.
I can still access download mode and recovery mode. I am pretty much a noob so please go in to details
Can anyone help me?
PLEASE PLEASE HELP ME!
Go into recovery and do a full wipe or...
Flash a stock Rom from sammobile.com
There's plenty of guides in this forum on how to do it.

Note the refused warranty was by the seller .Might be worth asking Samsung if its under their warranty .

You will need to read and learn before you act. This phone is configured differently than what you are accustomed to, judging from your statement above. You won't install recovery separately on this phone, since it is built into the kernel, for instance. Most roms have flashing instructions in the OP.
Ok. Im rooted... I unlcoked it for Tmobile. and its now on 2.3.4. When i go to recovery it juts says android recovery. Im not sure if its Clockwork mod, because i havent used clockwork since the days of the Moto backflip. SO how would i go about getting Clockworkmod and then installing Slimbean.

The clear answer has already been given to you. Search for username creepyncrawly, read all the threads linked in his signature. You need to be patient, read and research for several days before attempting to flash anything. It was reckless and foolish to root before doing so.
