[Q] 2.3.3 ROOT .... cui prodest ?????? BAD NEWS ???

Dear friends and DEV
I have been very surprised to observe that after 3 days 2.3.3 was not rooted
after I asked myself why this did not happen in 1-2 days as for the previous update ????
the answer is simple and comes with another question
who really needs the root directly from the stock room ?????
DEVS started having already pre-rooted the custum roms have no advantage to open the way also to amatorial people
Conclusion .... we will wait a lot of time before the direct rooting of 2.3.3.
Ptrofessional DEVS at the moment are not really interested in this because they can do their job without it and probably they like also to be more in control ....
Do you agree ??????

Yes it is probably true, if i had known this before i would install prerooted, but i just don't have no time to do the whole proces going back to eclair and than installing prerooted.... For now, i am waiting for the direct root.

I asked similar question before.
Finally I took a plunge and downgrade to 2.1 and root and install xrecovery with flashtool, and install 2.3 rooted Rome through recovery.

Here use this root app:

Then you should certainly use Wolfbreak's GB ROM
It really is very easy
Just flash his ROM first and then the .ftf bundle using flashtool
No need of going back to 2.1 eclair

This simple will never come out.
It is same as SE ARC 2.3.3 update, as soon as SE ARC 2.3.3 update release. No one can come up direct root.
Same for SE X10i 2.3.3 update.
cheers

Sorry .... may be I was not clear
I am NOT talking about 'to be able to do it' ( I did it many times since 1.6)
I am INSTEAD talking abaut 'I want to do it'........
For personal reasons I would like (if available thanks to the work of the DEV) to have the total stability of the stock room without few useless applications and with a nice theme
I m going where I cannot use computers for a while and I cannot update from bugs that with all due respect are unavoidable with custum roms
Of course not being able to perform the root by myself I do not complain, I accept the current situation and I will be in any case grateful to the DEVs
Mine was only an ANALYSIS of the current situation

Okay ,
Then u can search for reviews on some custom ROMs
From reliable devs like :
Erickwill , Wolfbreak , kxhawkins and many more

Im having troubles with games.. Waiting on the stock release from my company...
This is the why could be nice to be able to root it by ourselves...

I thanked you for answering
Unfortunately after 1 year of using custum roms I am fully aware of the reality ....
I have been using for long time Wolfbreaks ROMs for example after MIUI (the guy that is not anymore in this forum ... etc etc)
They are fast nice and beaufiful and I apreciate the work done but there is always a little bug that will came out soon or later ....
That is OK I am not complaining .... very quickly the DEV usually fix it
The only thing for me is that I am going abroad and I cannot use the computer for a while ... meantime I need the phone
I September I will try all the ROM and I am sure that I will enjoy their excellent performance

Okay ,
Neither am I insisting you
I was just saying that if u require root that much then why don't u use one of the pre rooted ones
Just a barebones....
Like some apks removed and stuff
Yes but only if they r not buggy
Any ways have fun with your x10
After September.

@ spaarc
lets's put in this way
I would not have any problem in using the current method for rooting flashing back to 2.1
if a simple original and complete 2.3.3 rooted rom was available
But no dev has interest in creating one
BTW I am not able to download the wolf room (just for safety in the case I change my mind) ... mediafire is not working ... someone knows about a mirror ?

FOR NOOBS LIKE ME. FOR NOOBS LIKE ME FOR NOOBS LIKE ME. TOO MANY OPTIONS FOR ROOTING YOUR I9100G?
SCROLL DOWN TO AFTER SECOND PARAGRAPH IF YOU CAN'T BE BOTHERED TO SNIGGER.
HOW IS SOMEONE LIKE ME, Who wants to take over the world, but sometimes forgets to breathe slow enough, how is someone like me going to ROOT my phone?
ROOT MY PHONE!!! What is that? I mean i Know it sounds cool, makes me a G, and all that. But how do I do that ..... Without making a fool of myself, Considering i have a SAMSUNG GT-I9100G
THATS RIGHT.... A I9100G. what everyone considers the ugly duckling of the Galaxy range of phones. Its not though. its the ugly duckling. maybe abit pale (mines the white one) but my no means ugly.
ANYWAY. IF you are like me, and can read faster than lois lane writes, then you have probably read the TONNES of information worth its weight in gold on this site. There is enough information here to build a country, let alone a ROM.
Take it from me, some 9 year old somewhere, is going to be a nobel peace prize winner someday and all-round superstar, due to his reading and research on this site. he will walk on water and have an army of andriodians (humans who have rooted their brain and let the Android rom take over their decisions).
But i am not him. I am 27 and have a belly. And wonky teeth. and i like chicken burgers way too much. way too much. TOO TOO MUCH. (Five minutes later, after a chicken burger)... Anyway... the keywords here are NOOB . I9100G .ICE-CREAM SANDWICH ( ICS ). ODIN . HEIMDALL . ROOT . CWM . CYNOGEN . KERNEL . ROM .
You know, alot of people on this site have put in alot of hard work and there is so much information here, valuable information. If you read these posts properly, you cannot go wrong. the difficulty lies in the options. and if you are someone like me, with a IQ built on a diet of chicken burgers and cola... then options are meant to take 5 minutes to decide, may take 5 lightyears ( honestly, i am actually odins father. Odin, father of Thor).
But since Ice cream sandwich has come out..... and since the I9100G is still not very well assimilated in the rooting world ( however the XDA boys , are leaps and bounds ahead of their peers, with help i'm sure from the geniuses at SAMMOBILE). SO i have decided to put on my ' I ALSO KNOW SOMETHING!!!' Hat on, and with it, give my 2 cents in the department of getting the best out of your gt I9100G. YOU WANT TO MAKE IT BETTER, SEXIER. WHAT TO DO?
A. A KERNEL IS WHAT TALKS TO YOUR HARDWARE, AND TELLS IT HOW TO SHAKE ITS ASS. ITS SITS IN BETWEEN THE HARDWARE AND THE ALL THE OTHER SOFTWARE ON THE PHONE: THE APPS, THE OPERATING SOFTWARE (ROM)
B. AS FAR AS I KNOW, THE R.O.M IS THE OPERATING SOFTWARE, AND USUALLY THE ONE THAT COMES WITH THE PHONE IS BLOATED AND HAS UNNECESSARY STUFF SLOWING IT DOWN, AS WELL AS NOT BEING TWEAKED FOR OPTIMUM PERFORMANCE.
C. ICE CREAM SANDWICH IS THE LATEST ROM FOR THE SAMSUNG I9100G AS IT IS FOR MANY OTHER PHONES. SO ITS WHAT WE ALL WANT NOW. EVEN THOUGH MANY MAY CORRECTLY ARGUE THAT GINGERBREAD ( THE OLDER ROM) CURRENTLY FUNCTIONS BETTER.
D. A CUSTOM ROM OR A CUSTOM KERNEL ARE BOTH MANUFACTURED BY REALLLY SMART PEOPLE ON THIS SITE AND OTHER SITES, BUT I DONT GO TO OTHER SITES. THEY USE COMPONENTS FROM THE ORIGINAL ROMS ( KNOWN AS STOCK ROMS) AS WELL AS THEIR OWN PRODUCTIONS, WITH SOME HOT SAUCE AND SOME ICE CREAM..... ( NEED A CHICKEN BURGER SOON).. THESE GUYS MAKE LIFE BETTER.
E. TO ROOT YOUR PHONE IS THE PROCESS IN WHICH YOU GET TO BE ABLE TO ALTER THE KERNEL, THE ROM, AND MORE I SUPPOSE, DEPENDING ON WHAT YOU KNOW.
F. AN IDIOT IS ME. STUCK IN TIME FOR TOO LONG, NOW HE DON'T KNOW MUCH ABOUT ANYTHING MODERN OR RELEVANT. BUT HE WILL KNOW.
SO. IF YOU WANT TO ROOT YOUR I9100G, READ THIS ROUGH GUIDE, THEN READ UP ON EVERYTHING I HAVE READ UP MYSELF UPON ( SEE THE REFERENCES AT THE BOTTOM) THEN, MAYBE YOU CAN COME BACK HERE IF YOU NEED TO CUT OUT OPTIONS.
BUT I AM NOT LIABLE FOR ANY MISTAKES OR DAMAGED CAUSED BY WHATEVER YOU DO. I AM MERELY A VESSEL SHARING THE KNOWLEDGE I'VE PICKED UP ON THIS SITE. YOU STILL GOTTA READ SOME OTHER STUFF. LIKE eg.. i've said wipe the dalvik cache, but i havent said how. but its here on this site, just like everything else i've written.
******FIRST OF ALL , AND THIS HAS TO BE IN CAPITALS:::: THERE IS A BUG THAT AFFECTS MANY SAMSUNG PHONES, THAT HAS RECENTLY BEEN DISCOVERED, THAT CAN DAMAGE YOUR PHONE, IF YOU USE A DODGY KERNEL. SO I SUGGEST YOU ONLY USE STUFF THATS SAYS CWM AND CYNOGEN. I AM ONLY SAYING THAT COS ITS WHAT I'VE LEARNT ON THIS SITE.
THESE ARE THE STEPS TO ROOT YOUR PHONE ( IT HAS TO BE THE I9100G. ONLY THE G. AND NUTHIN ELSE. 'AINT NUTHIN BUT A G THING BABY').**********
*********BACK UP YOUR PHONE******
MAKE SURE YOU ALREADY HAVE KIES. it ensures your pc has the right drivers for the phone. then before you start ANYTHING, make sure kies is switched off. (check in task manager, all its processes should not be running).
1. DOWNLOAD ODIN AND INSTALL HIM. BE NICE.
2. DOWNLOAD THE GT-I9100G_LP7_ClockworkMod-Recovery_5.5.0.4 FILE. ITS A .TAR FILE. ( I DONT KNOW WHAT THAT MEANS, BUT ITS SOME GOOD STUFF)
3. DOWNLOAD THE cm-9-20120615-NIGHTLY-i9100g ROM ZIP FILE, OR THE LATEST ONE AVAILABLE ( I WARN YOU THIS IS A AWESOME ROM. AND I NEVER USE THE WORD AWESOME)
4. DOWNLOAD THE gapps-ics-20120317-signed GOOGLE PLAY ZIP FILE. YOU NEED IT FOR GOOGLE PLAY.
5. ORDER A CHICKEN BURGER.
6. COPY THE cm-9-20120615-NIGHTLY-i9100g FILE AND THE gapps-ics-20120317-signed FILE TO YOUR INTERNAL SDCARD.
7. SWITCH OFF YOUR PHONE ( MAKE SURE IT HAS ATLEAST 70% BATTERY, OTHERWISE YOUR NOT A NOOB, JUST A JACKASS). LEAVE IT OFF. FOR NOW.
8. OPEN ODIN ON YOUR PC, AND THEN CLICK ON THE BUTTON THAT SAYS "PDA". IT WILL ASK YOU TO CHOOSE A FILE, CHOOSE THE GT-I9100G_LP7_ClockworkMod-Recovery_5.5.0.4 . MAKE SURE THE CHECK BOX NEXT TO THE "PDA" BUTTON IS CHECKED. AS WELL AS THAT, IN THE TOP LEFT QUADRANT OF THE ODIN, THERE ARE OTHER BOXES TO BE TICKED. MAKE SURE ONLY ONLY ONLY "Auto-reboot" and " F-reset Time " ARE THE ONLY OTHER BOXES TICKED. SO THERE SHOULD BE A TOTAL OF 3 BOXES TICKED, THATS IT. NO MORE.
9. NOW SWITCH YOUR PHONE ON IN THE SPECIAL MODE WHERE YOU HOLD THE VOLUME DOWN BUTTON, AND THE MENU BUTTON AND THEN PRESS THE POWER ON BUTTON. IT WILL ASK YOU A QUESTION. I WOULD ANSWER BY PRESSING THE VOLUME UP BUTTON. ONCE YOU ANSWER THE QUESTION, IT WILL TAKE YOU TO A SPECIFIC SCREEN.
10.NOW PLUG IN YOUR PHONE TO YOUR PC, AND THEN LOOK AT THE ODIN PROGRAM. IN THE TOP LEFT QAUDRANT, THERE IS A AREA THAT SAYS ID:COM. UNDER IT THE AREA SHOULD BE YELLOW NOW.
11.PRESS START ON ODIN. IT SHOULD DO ITS THING........ THEN YOU ARE ROOTED.. SO NOW, YOUR kernel IS A GENUIS'S KERNEL, NOT THE NORMAL ONE. AND IT SHOULD START UP IN CLOCKWORK MODE (SOMETHING SPECIAL).
12.FROM THERE , CHOOSE THE " GET SOMETHING" FROM ZIP OPTION, AND SELECT YOUR CUSTOM ROM.... IT WILL LOAD IT UP. SICKKK MOVE!!!! NOW YOU HAVE A ROM FROM THE FUTURE.
13. DO THE SAME ZIP PROCESS WITH THE GOOGLE APP FILE. SICK HOMIE!!!.... NOW CHOOSE WIPE DATA FACTORY RESET. THEN WIPE THE DALVIK CHACHE.
BELLISIMO!!!!! C'EST BONNE!!!!!!! MAMBO MAZURI!!!!
NOW YOU ARE OFFICIALLY A G!!!!!!
SO SO SO SO EASY.
I HAVE PURPOSELY NOT GIVEN YOU THE FILE LINKS FOR 3 REASONS. 1. THEY ARE NOT MINE TO GIVE. 2. THEY ARE ALL OVER THIS SITE, SO WHERE YOU GET THEM THERE IS MORE KNOWLEDGE. 3. I DONT KNOW HOW. REALLY I DONT KNOW MUCH ABOUT FORUM POSTING AND OTHER INTERNETINGS... I AM ACTUALLY INTO HARDWARE.
THIS IS JUST THE SIMPLEST AND FOR ME THE SAFEST WAY TO MAKE MY PHONE A SUPER PHONE. SINCE ICS CAME OUT, I FOUND IT HARD TO CHOOSE WHICH ROM AND KERNEL AND WHY. I ONLY HAD MY PHONE 2 MONTHS BEFORE THAT. SO I WAS AND STILL AM A NOOB . I'M A NOOB. NOOB. NOOB IS ME. SO THIS IS A GENERAL ROUGH SMOOTHISH GUIDE AT WHAT SEEMS TO ME TO BE THE BEST MODDING RECIPE FOR THE I9100G AT THE MOMENT. THINGS CHANGE. ASK KIM KARDASHIAN.
SO I HAVE COMPACTED MY MANY HOURS OF READING, JUST SO YOU KNOW WHERE TO START...
EVERYTHING I KNOW ABOUT ROOTING MY PHONE I HAVE LEARNT FROM READING ON THIS SITE. SO I HAVE TO THANK THOSE PEOPLE WHOSE STUFF I HAVE READ. THERE ARE MANY MANY.
SO I WILL EDIT THIS POST IN DUE COURSE TO ADD ALL OF THEM, GOD WILLING.
BUT FOR NOW I KNOW, OF THE TOP OF MY HEAD, I HAVE TO THANK : PARAS LEHANA. CHAINFIRE. SUPERATMOS. CYANOGEN TEAM. CODEWORKX.. ASHWINSRIHARI.. JIANGYI.. SIDDIQULAH16.. FARYAAB.. NITINVAID... KINGSAPP.. BURGER KING.

Dude you do not need odin to flash the lp7 kernel... Why are you lengthning the process and making it tough??? Flashing a custom kernel and rom via odin increases binary counter....and you will have yellow triangle...
Simple:
Follow the second method and you will have the root access in less than a min....and no binary increase or yellow trinagle....
No offence but here are Many threads about rooting the ics g ver...pls dont start a new one... I know you want to help... If you really want to help... Then Try to get some knowledge which others dont know and post it...that might even help us...
Opening a thread of same topic again and again is known as spamming!..

There are many of us who dont know computers that well. I don't think you have read my post. You would realise the perspective I have provided if you read it properly. So you would know I am telling the others like me to read and read.
But anyway. I've jumped in the water now. We'll see if I sink or swim. Using heimdall.. the instructions provided are not in good enough English for those who do not speak English every day. Like me. The PDF that paras lehana provided is a good starting point.
I don't think you guys realise how much you know.

And the specific people to thank. Then I will thank all of them personally. I don't yet know how to thank. Buy I will today.
I have to say, the yellow triangle didn't come up. Maybe I was lucky.
But the binary counter did register my changes. I still don't know what that means. But I will research and then find the appropriate way in which to share this information.

just wanted to tell you that the number 11 point needs to be edited abit in case newbies get confused.
11.boot phone into recovery mode. if CWM app is present in phone, can click on CWM and boot into recovery OR switch phone off, hold up+home button+power.
12.once in recovery mode, select install zip from sd card.choose the cm9 file etc

Thank you for your insight. I will edit the post soon. I am having problems with clockwork, I want to sort that out as well and then edit my post. Any advice is always appreciated.

The chicken burger part was kind is unclear to me ... I dont like chicken and is wondering if i a pizza would be ok?
... Edit ...
Decided to give it a try ...
Downloaded latest firmware and flashed it on my way down the stairs using "Odin Mobile Pro" ...
Done before i hit the pizza restaurant round the corner
Good news ... line 5 "Order a chicken burger" can be substituted with a "Order a pizza" and it's now working as a charm

Help needed for a new kid joining Android!

Hi guys,
I just got an Samsung Galaxy S i9000. I am pretty new to this Android stuff so please bear with me if I've asked simple or stupid questions
I'm also no expert on phones as well.
Right now, I've been advised to get an custom ROM that's based on pure CM with DroidWall installed after doing it.
Now, I'm trying to learn how to do it and I have no idea where to look at or do this.
Can you please give me some tips and links that will guide me to do this? All I'm looking for is to increase the battery life while still connected to WiFi/3G to use Facebook, Instagram, Google Play, and the games etc.
Thanks for your time to help this noob

Well, if you're totally new to android, you're early with rooting. I don't understand why you were and who advice you to use droid wall. It's just an app that isn't even needed. You should root your device with CF root, then you're able to flash the ROM you like. BTW, is it so hard to Google for that so that you have to create a thread? I doubt.

As dark knight said it's not very difficult to search on google.
It's very easy to root ur phone and if don't understand what you are doing sometimes it's normal but i don't think that root a phone and flash a rom is really hard, everything is wrote.

Well, googling it is easy but the thing is for me is that I'm not too sure which one I should get. I wanted to get some tips and advices on which I should get because I'm new to this thing. I know it may be stupid question to ask but yeah. Cheers.

Lol i understand, there is lots of ways to root ur i9000 like using an app like z4root or root it with a computer with softwares, try z4root it's very easy to do but it doesn't always work

Its easy to install a GB 2.3.6 ...JVU as an example, then from keypad make a factory format ( star 2767 star 3855 # ) and will have a clean and new Android. Next step, root with Odin using Semaphore 2.5.0....
If you want one of the best ICS's...give it a try to RemICS UX 1.3.1....will be surprised.
Good luck.

you could use z4root,Universal Androot

My escape route when in trouble!
Was reading thru some threads when I came across some newcomers crying out for help stuck in bootloops while flashing custom roms.
Since I was free.Thought maybe write my own experiences down and what I did to get out of trouble.
Hope this not so short essay help someone new to XDA.
Let me begin with ClockWorkMod recovery.
I for one,have installed two types of Recovery to be on the safe side.
Anyways having the two does not in anyway hinder either.
Therefore it is only and added advantage.
If that wasn't enough there are kernels which come with preinstalled CWM of their own.
At the moment I've got 3.
I switch roms very often.Many a times in the beggining I often made mistakes and always had to redo the whole procedure all over again.
That means from scratch.Flashing custom roms,rooting and then delve in CWM -
X-Parts by pvyPARTS
which I had to keep downloading again and again from market.
Real pain in the ass!
Now where did I stop in the procedure,yes,after CWM installation,fastboot flash the kernel and now use the CWM to flash the roms and the other zips.
Then came across another recovery tool.
RecoverX by LEDelete.
Awesome tool.Does the same more or less as X-Parts except you need to run this on your PC and bind it to your device.
Color is bright neon blue.Very nice visually.
So now what are my choices.Do I retain one and let go of the other.
Made some enquiries about having 2 recoveries.Feedback,no problems. Sweeeeet. I'll take both!
Then came the kernels with their own recoveries i. e -
mechmetal for FusioN kernels
Did the dancing act at the beginning and very stable versions now.
Thank you.
I'll have that too.The more the better since it was not corrupting my device in any ways.
Presently,very few mistakes in flashing roms. So less frequent flashing stock roms. Mind you,it does require me,at times,to do complete clean installs once in awhile.
For that I have learnt a few tricks.
Flashing stock roms-the usual flashtool.
Since I have the bootloader unlocked,rooting takes less than 2 seconds. Simply a marvellous tool.Thanks to:
AutoRoot by bazoocase
Can't escape downloading from Google play store though OR is there a way?
There is!
Am learning that now but I'm actually trying to get only my most needed apps such as Titanium backup,Astro File Manager, and one or two more apps with its contents and data.
Jesus H Christ,this is only the beggining.There's a whole lot more to learn.But I'm liking it!
So newcomers,this might help you in your stay here at XDA.If via this lengthly passage I am able to help A newcomer I am satisfied.
Note:This are pointers for newcomers who have problems during flashing custom roms and start CRYing when stuck in bootloops.
PS: All the above are true facts.
I learnt by making mistakes here and there.
I did a lot of reading,searching,sending out PM's not getting replies and reading,searching and putting forward questions all over sometimes in wrong threads too.
For that I had been abused and bombarded collectively.But hey,that made me be extra careful.
These would happen to you but don't give up.Practice makes perfect.Don't shy off from making decisions.
You are already here.People can teach your everything but at the end of the day you are the one who is going to press that execute button.
It will for work for some cos they did exactly what was needed to be done.It might not work for some cos they didn't.

LreadyIt is good to see a senior member-op putting up a thread like this without being a know it all, smartass twat! I'm sure all the noobies will appreciate it! I personally worked it all out with a full month of reading. I have a bad temper and did not feel like getting abused and tyrated for asking perfectly legitimate questions! I say the same to all who are having probs and are new, keep reading,asking questions and don't give up! Six months ago I couldn't even navigate these forums properly, now I test Roms and kernels for devs! My biggest tip is find a kernel with CWM preinstalled and prerooted custom Roms! Remember one thing too, Titanium Backup is your best friend and is worth paying for the pro version! I don't like anything that isn't free but TB is worth the money!
To the OP here I think it would be good to insert a nit more detail on how to do these things and use these apps in your thread for those not in the know, maybe even some links! It's alot of work but I think noobies will be grateful! If you want some help to complete a noob friendly thread for flashing/rooting etc. PM me and I will help you write it up! We will prob get berated by others because of similar threads, but I have found them not noob friendly or incorrect! The only reason I still a junior member is because I have not bothered to make posts as have not had anything useful to say till recently!

Similar to the existing stickys, which are highly under utilized by new members, and as shown on a few occasions, by senior members too. Read Read Read, practice practice practice, is the only way anyone is going to learn, and I know because it's what I had to do for similar reasons to you when I knew absolutely nothing when I first joined, and if you're serious about learning how to tweak and mod Android then you need to be prepared to spend an hour or two sat at your computer, as you're not going to learn everything over night, in a week or even a month, and 3 years later you may still be learning, as I continue to.

RecoverX instalation problem

My escape route when in trouble!
Was reading thru some threads when I came across some newcomers crying out for help stuck in bootloops while flashing custom roms.
Since I was free.Thought maybe write my own experiences down and what I did to get out of trouble.
Hope this not so short essay help someone new to XDA.
Let me begin with ClockWorkMod recovery.
I for one,have installed two types of Recovery to be on the safe side.
Anyways having the two does not in anyway hinder either.
Therefore it is only and added advantage.
If that wasn't enough there are kernels which come with preinstalled CWM of their own.
At the moment I've got 3.
I switch roms very often.Many a times in the beggining I often made mistakes and always had to redo the whole procedure all over again.
That means from scratch.Flashing custom roms,rooting and then delve in CWM -
X-Parts by pvyPARTS
which I had to keep downloading again and again from market.
Real pain in the ass!
Now where did I stop in the procedure,yes,after CWM installation,fastboot flash the kernel and now use the CWM to flash the roms and the other zips.
Then came across another recovery tool.
RecoverX by LEDelete.
Awesome tool.Does the same more or less as X-Parts except you need to run this on your PC and bind it to your device.
Color is bright neon blue.Very nice visually.

Hello everyone
I am new to the forum so I am not sure if I am in the right place. I have rotted my xperia arc and I cannot install the CWM. I have tried through Xparts and through the RecoverX (RecoverX seems not to be able to download the recovery). I have done the same thing in the past without havin any probelems. This is the first time that I cannot install it. Any ideas?
Thanks for helping

[Q] How do I perform an upgrade or changed the actual installed Android

Hi developers,
I'm new to this world and got alot of questions looking to find their answers.
I bought recently a new Galaxy S4 GT-I9505 (comes with customised android provided by the french operator Orange), I really need to know how to replace the actual system with the official one!
2nd demand is, should I need to upgrade my phone to Android 4,3? I've seen 2 versions the Android-4.3-I9505GUEUBMFP-Odexed-I9505 and Android-4.3-I9505GUEUBMFP-Deodexed-I9505, what is the difference between those 2 versions ?
Looking forward to hear from you soon.
Cheers

You can google the difference between odexed and deodexed. It helped me too when I have no idea the difference between the two. In other words, use search if you have questions but if you were not able to search for an answer that is the time to start a new thread.

4.3 was only released on the Google play edition gs4. With that said this must be a ROM you are talking about. You have to be rooted and custom recovery installed. Odex and deodex are confusing things but odex is mainly for performance and other mods may fail. Deodex is a stable ROM that can have more variety of mods installed but may lag. Do some research if you never flashed a ROM because, and trust me when I say this, you don't want to be reading post like crazy at 4am rushing to get the process done so you can get sleep.

The best suggestion is to read up first and use the search function, start here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2149990
then have a look at the stickies in each forum for instructions.

First, let me tell you a few things:
1) Unless your question is really specific and noteworthy, ask it here.
2) Try to find the answer for your question before you post it. Chances are that your question has been answered before.
As for your questions:
1) What do you mean by official? Do you mean touchwiz not modified by your carrier? If yes, then check this thread.
2) The non google edition s4s haven't been updated to 4.3, So that's probably a custom rom. ( btw thanks robogoflow for explaining the difference. I didn't know it myself. )

Oh another thing to remember, respect, in other words don't go around making demands, it's not nice nor polite... people are more likely to genuinely WANT to help you rather than scald you :thumbup:
