yeah agreed mate, although i remember when the SGSII first came out it was similar to this but after a week or two it was must easier to root the phone.

Thanks for the tutorial! Everything is going great so far.
1 thing while installing suser i can't get right is this:
Maybe i'm writing in the wrong command or i have a misspelling somewhere?
Would you mind writing all the commands here at the forum's?
Thanks

Its "|" not ":"

Ahh! ;-) Not it worked like a charm!
My S3 is rooted and ready to go!
PS: CWM is still not avaiable for S3 right?

hi guys on the s3 my csc is btu is that a uk csc?

Added CF-ROOT Method !

Please help...
Hello, first of all, i would like to say thank you so much for your noob proof guide on rooting SGS3. I successfully rooted my SGS3 by following your method (and i am a noob haha).
But, i have a problem now, my phone keep reminding me to update my firmware, and i couldn't do it. From what i read, its because my phone is rooted.
So, now i want to un-root my phone, but i am so confuse because so much info out there. I try to read it over and over but i still not understand (i am a noob).
So, i need your help to guide me to unroot my phone. I am not using the CF-Root, i am using the first method you posted on this thread.
Please help me... i dont know what to do. :crying:
Thank you so much for your help, i really appreciate it

Ready to test any ROM!

BTW, my top best CM10/CM10.1 based ROMs is:[/I]
1- ParanoidAndroid ( because it's the most stable ROM i have ever tried )
2- Liquid ( it haves AOKP features and more )
3- SuperNexus ( Gives you the feeling of the real Android interface )
my top best Touchwiz based ROMs is:
1- Omega ( stable & customizable )
2- Sotmax ( didn't try it though but i think it's great )

Re: [Q] :highfive: Ready to test any ROM!
1: This is the wrong forum.
2: This clearly isn't a question so it doesn't need [Q] in the title.
3: No-one cares if you're ready to test ROMs. So are a lot of people but at least the others have the sense to actually go and try some ROMs rather than make a pointless thread.
4: As mentioned above, this is a pointless thread.
5: I've got no idea for this so I'll refer you to the picture below...

6: As you'll notice, the above picture is just as pointless as this thread.

[Q] Help needed with rooting the octacore unlocked variant of the phone

So first of all I used this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=40747604 (MOTOCHOPPER thingy) to root my phone, I'm attaching the screenshots of the process ( the superuser app said it was outdated and when I tried to update it gave the message shown in the attachment below ) I know this that this motochopper process hasn't worked for many other S4 users who received a stability update some time ago. So, what do I do next ? could anybody link me to the complete process to fix this ? if I need to unroot this partially rooted phone before trying another root process, if yes then how ? Thank you:fingers-crossed :

Why did you use that. It's for Qualcomm-based variants of S4 (I9505).
He already mentioned that MOTOCHOPPER is for Qualcomm-based variants of the Samsung Galaxy S4.
Your phone is I9500 and probably INDIAN.
Use this to root your device.

And I think you are really new to rooting or flashing.
Then please do not flash anything you see on Google. First try to learn what exactly are you doing and how this actually work.
You might get your phone brick if you flash any file you see.

Yes, indeed, I'm new to this. Thank you
Another thing, I saw you use 9500 too, did you notice that the share via option in the music player has been missing in our phones ? I remember fine that it was there when I bought it, last time I used it was around a month ago, but now it is just gone, it is present in my note 2 but not in S4. Is this due to the stabilty update we recieved ?

Having trouble with Heimdall

I was informed this might be the better subforum for this post...
Greetings!
I am trying to revert my Verizon Samsung Galaxy S5 G900V(B) back to Lollipop from Marshmallow. I don't have a PC but a Macbook Pro so I can't use ODIN. Instead I have downloaded Heimdall. I have downloaded several different versions of the Lollipop stock ROM but the Heimdall GUI is not recognizing them.
I *really* need to revert this back to Lollipop so I can use towelroot to get rid of all the crap Verizon bloatware that is eating my memory and making my phone unusable.
Any help would be so so so appreciated, thank you!
