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

Yea thanks to all the hacking guys here, our phone is now finally rooted, and so we are able to add Hebrew on the xperia, its very simple, download from the market "israelpack" and install fonts, then download anysoft keyboard + Hebrew extension and you are ready to go.

joel and amir, i have been trying to root my device and haven't been successful. i had a look at the thread here and it simply isn't working. i had a lot of errors till i got to where i am (mostly java errors that were resolved by upgrading and setting the path). i have completed everything, but for some reason when i download and try to install the israelpack, it says that i do not have root permissions. any ideas?
phone details are:
x10i
firm v 1.6
bb v 1.1.27
kernel 2.6.29 rel
build r2ba023
first thing to try is reseting your phone and REDO STEP 3 ONLY, Reset again.
Good luck.
no good
this could only mean that the rooting wasn't successful
any other addon you can thinkoff for me to test to see if i am able to gain access to the root?
OK - i finally foound out what i was doing wrong, and this could be something that might have to be added in the steps when rooting, but that is for a different thread.
joel, i added israelpack and the anysoftkeyboard with hebrew ext. how do i use it? do i have to install it after downloading? the israelpack works fine after the reboot.
he he - fixed it as well
XPERIA BABY

So here is my story, i tried to install a new rom via rom manager.
It was all going well until i hit the back button (stupid).
The phone was not responding so i pulled the battery out.
Tried to boot and then i got this:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Yes, i know that's normal
Then i got this:
When i touch the power button the screen goes off.
When i touch it again you will see the screen again.
So then i boot into Recovery with the "!" screen.
1. Wipe data, cache and dalvik cache.
2. Flash zip from sd
But then i get this error: Nohup
Can someone please help me?
Can you get into USB fastboot?

I'v spoken to Koush, I helped with with ClockworkMOD on the Galaxy Tab. Why?
Just asking and wondering why you are such a big fan of CWM and promoter of FF

CWM is the only recovery image for the Legend. So many issues could be solved if people just used fakeflash.
Well if you look at it that way It would be really nice if there was a stickie called "FakeFlash: try this before you ask !" in bold red size 25 text
edit: in every one of those 4 forums
Fake flash is in the roll-up sticky in the dev section
Yes, but not in red bold font In this way I kinda like modaco's pinned topics
Hey guys,
I've rooted a couple of devices before (G2X, Galaxy S2, Optimus S). However, this is my first Nexus device. I'm really loving this phone and want to use it to its full potential. I'm been researching alot on how to root it but I keep seeing numerous ways and different advice. I know I have to unlock the bootloader first then install drivers. However, I've NEVER unlocked a bootloader before and I keep getting errors with installing drivers.
I'm pretty sure I'm going to get flamed for asking this (Which is fine, to each his own), but would somebody please give me an easy straight forward way to root this phone? I would greatly appreciate it. So far the videos on youtube dont actually show you how its done (they only show clips of the process already done). I'm currently on stock 4.2.2 version.

Definitely the easiest way. Took me like 2 minutes
Check my signature. Only right way of doing it while learning a bunch of useful stuff.

If you use a toolkit, you learn NOTHING. Don't fall into that trap.

thanks guys for the help!!! i really appreciate it. im loving the dev support for this device.
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 ?
First of all I would like to start off with introducing myself... Im Liam and I have a samsung galaxy s3 witch I have no clue on how to update it because it has a modified os! It is currently running 4.1.2 and I would like to know how I can update it to 4.4 without loosing such things as my IMEI like I have in the past!

Its a million time answerd qstn.. Flash latest cwm and latest 4.4 rom. Its easy as that. You will get the detailed procedure from the respective threads.. Its not fair to create a seperate thread for this. You could have use qna section instead. By answer to yr query, i am no way encouraging your attitude
