Root progress?

So I'm new to the whole rooting scene I have been studying these forums amongst other places anyway the real in depth stuff is over my head. I guess my real question is from someone who knows what there talking about, what's the progress on the perm root? What's the big obstacle now besides the obvious anti root thing and when may we see some results? Is this truly imposible or will we have a true perm root soon?

The progress is happening over here:

Thanks this gives me more info than I had on what is devolping, but still doesn't answer the questions like when, and they way this guy is talking it sounds like this perm root may not happen

Please use the search and browse the forums. There are TOO MANY posts on this already... Duck, flaming incoming...

Maybe that's the problem to much stuff to sort through a lot of posts are nonsence anyway no sence arguing just thought a few good valid answers would be great then could be deleted for all I care but I guess that's to much to ask for on a [email protected] forum wow

Should it be possible w/o a smart card, it'll be ready when it's ready. People should know better than to ask devs for a release date when they're not directly employing them.

Looks like we have Root!
Being discussed now in IRC!
http://irclog.netripper.com/?chan=G2ROOT

Way to add to this thread guys one good actual response the people complaing about multiple theads just fill them with junk trash talk on forums when people are trying to get answers doesn't sound productive to me. And why should I not ask about progress? That's offensive, what get off your high hourse if you can't answer a question just don't say anything. Why fill with crap no one thinks your cool by doing that

Development Thread is Polluted!

Is it just me or is there WAY too many ROMs now? To be honest, options are always good, but it seems there are so many different ROMs being pushed out and that worries me. It seems the Development thread is getting polluted with all these roms. Most of them seeming useless, at least to me. But what do I know?
Note: Maybe I'm getting tired of waiting for TW

This thread is D.O.A. People complain when there's too little activity in the dev section, but I've never seen anyone complain about too much activity...
Just because TW is your favorite team, doesn't mean they should be the only ones posting roms.

This has got to be the most BS complaint the vibrant forum ever had. Well that's just what I think don't know about what the others will say.

<rant> For god's sake can we please stop with posting threads like this? Its of absolute no benefit to the community. Like stated previously by tgc first people complain the community is dying nwo that its thriving yall want to complain more? If you think something in the dev thread is of no use to you then dont bother with it, choices are good, and i for one am glad that there are new roms being put out there by new devs/dev teams that are giving us more quality stuff to play with.
So once more I implore not only you but everyone to please stop posting these useless threads. </rant>

I for one am a fan of choice. Whether it be aosp, sammy themes or ports. Bring em on. If you like a single choice that's well received, I hear they call it an iphone

Is this a joke? At first there was to less development, and now theres to much? Wow, go away.

You guys just got trolled. LOL

What?! Too many ROMs?! I thought the Vibrant forum was dying!

Basically, a .RAR file is similar to a zip file - it's usually used either to compress a file so that it's a smaller download, and/or to pack multiple files into a single file.
The part that's more confusing to most people is Windows (or Mac, for that matter) has no built-in support for RAR files. For Windows, the solution I like is something called Peazip - it's a free download. For the Mac, Stuffit Expander will do the job (also a free download for just the Expander). Both can be found easily by googling them - I haven't posted enough times yet to be able to give the direct address for them.
Hope that helps.

When you start the thread, "hope I don't get flamed.." it shows you already know that you have a high chance of getting flamed ha if not by me someone else would have done it, and you hate that so why post? And you said you don't know what to do with the .rar, how about use odin and flash it, lol, it not like a developer going to be like " OMG didn't know where this was been looking everywhere for it!" When it already in the general forum

I agree, the man is trying to help out the community and he gets slammed for it. I wish people on here were more laid back. This is community (free) rom development, lets try to act like were gratefull for this stuff and be more civil to each other.

The disclaimer was because I was posting a link and not the actual rom. I have seen many people post a tar for a stock rom. I posted a link to a stock rom and that was the difference.

Change thread title to - [STOCK ROM] EF02 - and we all be happy.
A thread for all stock builds or one thread for every stock build should be here IMO.

Guys these threads are packed with useless bickering as it is, lets just try and stay on topic guys
now, as for this EF02, you guys think there'll be a rooted/custom version available by the end of today? Some ppl who have flashed this already say its really smooth, the only problem is thats its stock, so flashing it will rewrite our recovery image and break our CWM/current root I'm tempted to flash it, but then again, i dnt want to lose my SRF 1.1.1 without being able to restore back. so i'll wait

I disagree. One of the things that makes this forum so helpful overall is its heavy policing.
Other forums are a disorganized wild west, and you can't find anything without 5 minutes of sorting the good from the crap.
Was it warranted here? Maybe. Maybe not. As a general approach being nit-pickey douches about what goes where does help though. Few people do it twice.

OP Edited... Hope that is more suiting

So next time someone comes across a new leak they shouldn't post it until they customize it? No, I'm not buying in to that. And just because it is in the General section does not mean that it shouldn't be here as well. So.. without further turning this forum into a "disorganized wild west" (sometimes the police even need policing) how about we get past the forum etiquette discussion and move on to EF02.

[Poll] do you like this new combined gs3 forum

I don't like it
Also guys when you vote please post something
This keeps the thread up high
Far from the second page

Some things are common across the GS3 independent of the carrier but there are some that are dependent on the carrier. General accessories could all be grouped into one but carrier specific ship dates, etc, being jumbled all into one it's hard to find threads you aren't subscribed to. Looks like I need to subscribe to more but somehow mute tapatalk from notifications.

XDA isn't a carrier forum. Go to HowardForums or Sprint.com if you want that.
XDA is about DEVICES. The L710 is the same configuration no matter what carrier you're on. This is how it should be.
Back in my day, under the HTC Vogue, we supported both Verizon and Sprint, and we liked it.

I don't like it. I can understand things where there are overlap like accessories, but having a carrier specific forum for general was nice because we could talk about carrier specific topics.

I get what the admins are trying to do. Save server space from redundant threads....However, AFAIC it still sucks.

I like the way things are, but time will tell how much of an unholy mess it turns out to be...

dont they all have the same hardware? so wont roms made for one, work for all? with separate forums devs will have to make multiple redundant threads?

As long as people aren't ignorant this will be fine.

No, they will not work across each carrier, in theory they can. But I'm gonna guess each carrier has diff apps added. And diff framework icons. So the answer is no, they will not (radios get flashed outside of roms these days, no problem there).
Anyways this is related to the general section, development is still split, which is great.

i don't like it simply because the themes section also needs to be separate, i think.

And I guess you know what it means to have diff related things that arnt common between carries also right, that's why they split up development. And should have also made diff general sections.

Themes are diff across each carrier also, they should be split.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using xda premium

no good especially since the forum names are the same as the internatrional sgs iii.
so in apps like tapatalk and xda in favorites you now have to forums where the names are exactly the same.

I think it would be better. Better development, better collaboration, pooling of dev resources.
Now it won't be noob friendly because I can see noobs already flashing AT&T Radios for a Sprint phone and bricking their devices.

I like and hate it. I think it was too soon to combine the General forum. These devices are still in a very volatile shipping status and until that clears people will be using the general threads to see if anyone has any updates. Clutters the whole process.

Yes Themes should be split. Were not talking Metamorph here. We are talking actual apk's and framework files. Xml diffs etc...

Galaxy S3 forums are a mess...

I can see how some people think it's a mess.. I mean lets face it tons of people do not bother reading or searching, So I can see this being a problem for those types. I mean now they have to go though a WHOLE two forums to NOT search for what they want and NOT read.. lordy lordy the sky is falling!! what on earth are we going to do? You mean we have to be a tiny bit less lazy than we already are?? lol
I saw the change last night and it didnt take rocket science to see what happened. I was like "oh ok kernels, cm, miui in here, sammy cooked roms and mods there".
If anything it's more organized now, not a mess..

Ya its not exactly complicated to figure out, and ya, if anything it's more organised.
My only gripe is the app, still no original Android development tab.
That guy last night that posted about JB sources when there was another two posts below was typical of what's going on here, I even got a screenshot of it to post but once I went into the thread someone had already very kindly pointed out the OP that he should use search! :But ya, its ridiculous and no amount of posts or stickies or whatever seems to stop people doing it.

Repost?

Closed, as it seems the OP got the wrong forums.
Let me take a moment to remind everyone to REPORT problem/dupe/uneeded/unconstructive posts or threads, dont respond, report, and we (the mods) will get on it and sort it out.
We cant be everywhere, and if no one reports it, it normally wont be seen.
And leaving notes in threads for us, doesn't work, PM the section mods, or use the report system.
Thank you and happy XDAing.
