hi m8,
welcome to the unlimited world of android, in which you'll have full control on ur device
have a look on my thread and tell me if u want to root ?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1195250
Root and discover the universe. it will extend your options to unlimited! u can go anywhere and do everything. "we" are great comunity here and if u will find some problems just ask and your question will be answered.
root will bring u new options - just to make it simple to understand - u can
1. remove apps that u dont like or dont use - improve battery life and speed + u can add anything available!
2. costumize icon + status bar + dialer and much more - make your device on "your style"
3. flash any working avaible ROM with diferent features - what u like u will get
check out for example
1. cognition - simple fast and easy to use
2. MIUI almost unlimited options for changing themes and much more
3. caynogen - stock android - clean and clear - fast and stable
and like this you will have lots of options - i took out few that i like most but they are many more out there.
rooting is the option novadays - dont worry everyone was rooting first time! dont be afraid - believe me.
here +1 for rooting a bigone
The rooting process is too easy for this phone. I actually see no reason NOT to root.
Just being able to use Market Enabler and Titanium Backup seems more than enough reason to root.
There's a case to be made for whether flashing custom ROMs is worth it because the stock ROM is not bad at all. But I would worry about that AFTER rooting.
In case I ever needed to get in touch with samsung warranty issues would there be anyway for them not to find out about it?
I had xperia x1 about 2 years ago I believie , keyboard was mulfunctioning for the first time when I reverted the SPL they replaced my phone second time same thing happened they found out and didnt fix the phone.

there is USB jig for resseting the flashing counter and u can always flash stock ROM and they wont know. unless u will brick your phone and u wont be able to flash anything. anyway it wont happend if u will follow the guides here and if u will ask before doing anything.
just pick the right ROM and follow the instructions or ask here in Q/A if u are not sure what to do..
Hi,
Ive had my Galaxy S3 for about 4 months now, and being in Australia waiting for the Jelly Bean update is driving me crazy, So i wanted to know how hard it would be to root my S3, I would have done it as soon as i got the phone however, My first galaxy stopped working after putting a new rom on the phone and my galaxy s2's screen turned blue and then died, although this could have been because i dropped it the day before, not sure both of these have kind of put me off rooting, however ive had a xoom and optimus 3d that are still fine on custom roms.
Also, If i wanted to return to stock, and unroot the phone, would that restore my warranty?
I have the International Galaxy S3, I think With Optus in Australia,
I would have searched how to root by myself, but i really dont want to brick the phone.
So if someone could link me to a stable rom and some instructions on how to root it would be fantastic
Thanks for reading
4 months..... I couldn't even wait for a day after received my S3
Even with custom ICS ROM you ll see huge difference
Hehhe I don't really care about warranty anymore after I chose to root
As long I enjoy the phone... But there's a way to do that...
I can't help you to find the link for rooting and apply CWM since I haven't been to any threads
If I were you, go search root by CF....
Good luck

Hi, Thanks for the reply,
I am going to follow this guide, Its from another website so my apologies if i am not allowed to post links to external sites, Although i found the link on an XDA thread so i figured it would be okay
http://www.androidrootz.com/2012/09/how-to-root-any-samsung-galaxy-s3.html
And im just looking at ROM's now, Just out of curiosity which ROM are you using androbot?
Thanks
I would always root my phone Just because you can use AD Block
Haha yeah i will look forward to that , Just Root'd phone then Tested with Titanium backup and works fine Just wondering if any of you could recommend a good ROM, or the ROM your currently using that your really happy with? Thanks
I'm using crDroid 6.3 at the moment...
I like ROM doesn't get stripped but still performs fast and fluid too...
Each user has their own taste....
The ROM is around 9xx mb...
It's got AROMA installer too....
After you root and install CWM, crDroid ROM requires touch recovery to avoid any problem...so you need to flash touch recovery recommended ...

I gave stock a try for a while.... Lasted 3 days. Samsung managed to create something that can't run on a quad core phone.... That's almost something to be proud of, I shouldn't experience lag and homescreen redraws on a $500+ phone. Installing a custom rom is a must for me, I don't understand why OEM version of Android are so horrible but they are. Rooting only will give you a few benefits and extra things you can tweak as well as ad blocking and making the GPS faster. But if you really want a change, custom roms are the way to go.
Hey guys new to android based phones, ive had the s3 for a few months and have read the forum for a while, i want to flash a custom rom and read about imei backup which i just did but i want to know is it common for the imei to delete when flashing?
I lasted about 3 weeks on stock.. now dual booting CM10 & UltraROM. You won't regret it :good:
Should I root??
Sorry for posting here but it's the closest I have found to what my question is. I have an AT&T S3. I would like to root to get rid of my bloatware but I'm a chicken. I rooted my HTC Inspire over a year ago and I didn't really know how to remove to AT&T apps and the stock rom was not as snappy as it was prior to rooting. I planned on staying on ICS until an official JB OTA was available, as I've never flashed custom roms before. What I'm most concerned about I guess is whether rooting will mess up my 4gLTE and wifi. I rely heavily on wifi since sadly, AT&T is lame, expensive, and doesn't offer unlimited data. So I want to make sure I don't screw up wifi if I do this. Can anyone provide insight or point me to a good resource that can help?? Thanks a bunch in advance and sorry for the noob questions.

Using Odin to flash CF-Root is super-easy, so don't be afraid. Rooting will not affect your phone's smoothness, but if you use it to remove apps with Titanium Backup without making sure they are not useless, you may end up having performance issues or worse. Of course, I'm not saying you shouldn't root, just that after rooting, take care with what you remove via TB.
CF-Root can be found in the Original Android Development forum, follow the instructions and you'll be ok.
All three mobile networks are releasing them this month, November! Telstra, Voda then Optus.
Hopefully it's XXDLJ4 or above or XXDLJ6 etc
Swyped on GT-I9300 - XXDLJ1 - Siyah kernel 1.7b1 - Thunderbolt tweaks - JKay theme -
Hi all, I am really noob at all this rooting stuff but I got my friend to root my Galaxy S3 with Omega, so I got rid of all the bloatware and I disabled the annoying low battery notification sound, I am just wondering whether if I unroot back to stock, what will happen to the disabled battery sound and bloatware?

Root and stock are two entirely repeat things .Omega is not root its a custom rom .
Flash stock rom will replace whatever you disabled .
Removal of root itself will be ok but apps requiring root will not work .
Read the basic faqs and guides .

if you flash back to stock rom it will unroot and everything will be how it originally was. some of the apps that require root will not work or work partially.
Hi I'm basically new to mods with android and I'd like to learn more about mods.
I don't care about the warranty since I got the phone as a bonus from my company.
I have flashed root my phone with SuperSU, but I'd like to use a custom ROM since Samsung's stock annoys me and won't perform as expected after it was rooted. I installed Omega Files Pro but cannot flash mods or even the ROM. I'm on JB 4.3 by the way so I hate all the things like bloatwares and Knox though I only have Knox 1.0 since I didn't update it since when you open Knox it will ask you to download updates and all.
Now I can't flash, I get errors like ERROR after flashing. I also get this knox void warranty 0x1. I read that it somehow affects the use of bootloaders but I am still unfamiliar with those stuffs. Hope I can get help to make my phone performing as expected. Mods cool stuffs better battery and ram/cpu utilization without too many lags and time to load stuffs. I prefer not to overclock though.
Just need help to spiff my phone at it's best without restrictions as Samsung inhibits me from doing what I want with my phone.
Thanks in advance.
HI Guys as my name suggest i am not that great on technical.
I am buying my son a S6 Edge only on the condition that i install monitoring software on the phone so that i can access it at all times.
To utilise this software to capture all messages whats app etc the phone needs to be rooted and this is the only reason i need to root and will not be doing anything else to the phone.
I recently rooted a note 4 and had all sorts of issues however did manage to get it back to factory and resolve using Odin and flashing stock.
On the s6 EDGE there are a number of sites that say use pingpongroot or oneclickroot or Kingo Android root. Can anyone advise the best root for a S6 EDGE and any complications i may face later having rooted it.
Cheers
Gifford

just remeber knox counter gets tripped by the rooting.. so no samsung pay etc
You should say what android version are you using, as you can root and keep warranty on 5.0.2, but lose warranty on 5.1.1
