You can't root Froyo with z4Root. Download SuperOneclickRoot 1.7 + and just click the big "Root" button after you connect your phone to your PC. Remember to turn on USB debugging in development menu in applications options.
I see you are using XXJPQ, this is an unknown ROM to us, root is not implemented for this ROM. It may need special tweaking. Have you tried the "rageagainstthecage" method?

i know i must root with SOC, but it freezes on "waiting for device".
yes, this JPQ i can't find anywhere, it came on kies, here in croatia.. i tried "rageagainstthecage", but stil freezes (not responding) on "waiting for device".. i'm crazy, do you know where i can ask for that tweaking or developing?

but i don't want to flash that, just root as it is, i'm not expert in that stuff, so i don't want to play with that. just simple root mine 2.2 would be nice.

do one thing if u have any other external hdd or any other USB devices connected to ur pc remove them all i dont know why but some times the apps gets confused and does not work and also temp stop ur virus scan while doing the process
it will work good luck
Super One Click HAS to work.
Since you updated you might not have USB debugging enabled... so make sure you do.
Also, try removing your SD card. (know it sounds stupid... but do it anyway.)

clarkkov said:
No guys, you don't get it. It's an official ROM that we haven't seen yet (At least I haven't seen it). There is no XXJPQ on samfirmware. This is the Q version - the last JP version. If these methods are not working, we need to "crack" the XXJPQ.
Alen, can you dump your ROM on an SD card and then upload it so we can see this wonder?
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
yes, i can't find anywhere that JPQ, strange thing.
i would but i don't know how to dump it.. instructions?
With all these troubles, is it worth being on that rom?

yeees i enabled.. and when i check drivers it says "no issue found!!" i think a problem is that JPQ. i will try tomorrow to save it and upload it.
I was having trouble rooting till a few days ago. of course, i was technically inept and kind of stupid. and though i see your problem might be a bit different because of the official ROM, but it's worth a shot.
Which version of SOC are you using? the one in the rooting thread or the latest one? the 1.7 didn't work for me, neither did 1.8 but 1.9 did the trick. Try that.
did you do the boot method? you turn on the phone while the rooting process is running on your pc and it is waiting for a device?

(still, maybe it's not only that, because, i went on pc device managare and click to update that ADB drivers while phone was booting, maybe that did the trick too. just saying, so if anybody has the same problems, to try that too. )

1.what do i get if i upgrade a custom ROM???
2.can i overclock my G3 to 800 MHZ(i want to play angry birds and ninja jump and other games without lag),if i can how can i install kernel and what is kernel?
3.what will flashing my phone do to G3
4. i done vol down+home+power button but nothing happens i go to silent task manager opens
5. pls don't flame this thread i just need help
Thanks to all that help i really need it
1. Every Rom is different... Read the topics and you will see what you get...
2. Yes you can OC your Phone but if you are a noob I wouldn't recommend. But if you are willing to take some chances! There are a few ROMS they are made for Overclocking.
3. It will do nothing with your 3G. It will maybe make it a little stronger or faster but it wouldn't do much if I'm wright.
4. You need to shut down your phone first and then do that combo... If your phone is on it doesn't work!

Dear their is no easy way to learn u need to read
ur not an idiot ur just a little lazy
start here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=858583

as one of my bosses said its not rocket science u just need to read & understand and then ask the questions
ok so i found good rom kyrillos http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=957123
but if i want to install i need to know how to use this :
You must know how to use odin!
Recommended firmware before flash: Any
Optional make a backup of your data (with Titanium).
Go in download mode (Vol down + Home + Power or from the power menu).
Open Odin, click reset files, select ops, tick one package and select the "Flash_this_as_one-package.tar" file.
Click Start. The phone will reboot in recovery. WIPE DATA! (The wipe process may take a minute+, dont worry. The boot process may be long too, but dont worry its normal!!)
Optional, Partition your sd!
-Make a backup of your sdcard, enter CWM recovery and go to advanced => partition sd. Choose the sizes you want. After the partition completes, wipe data and reboot
Install titanium and go to titanium backup's preferences and select the default install location => internal. Then do your restore...
Enjoy!
how can i do that
i turned it off and press vol down+power off + home and it say downloading do not turn off target!!! what to do???
Well, his tutorial is really nub friendly, so you just need to read what is written there. You need to install drivers for your mobile phone. I did it through official Samsung web page ( please look around cos I'm not able right now to look for you ). Install all these drivers. Connect phone via usb cable included in package, open ODIN, do what is written in tutorial and you are done in 15 minutes with all this. Its really easy, but you just have to read around and not skip any of steps written in any of tutorial here.
I'm also new user of SG3, to be more specific its my first smartphone, I have it for 1 week or so, but I have read almost all topics written here, and I did all this stuff without one single problem.

I tried searching but not really sure what it is I need.
Histiory:
I installed Zune on my computer and hooked my Windows 7 Focus up for the 1st time.
While in Zune it told me updates were available. I clicked on update,it went through all the steps,but when it got to restarting your phone thats where it stayed.
After 13 hours I disconnected the phone,and now I just have the white Samsung logo,although I CAN get into download mode and hard reset
My issue is what am I supposed to download,and how? I'm as noob as you get,but hopefully I can follow simple instructions.
I found a thread on here about firmware revision,but when I click on that it wanted me to install iVid,or something like that,and not even sure what firmware I was supposed to be using.
Under the battery it shows Rev 1.4
Please,can someone help me restore my phone?
Many thanks in advance.

Hi, well since you can put it in download mode, you can install MAGLDR (custom bootloader) and flash a custom rom.
Install all for revision 1.4 , link for MAGLDR(read carefully the instructions) : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1485569
link for custom rom for version 1.4 : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2024825

I really appreciate the help.
I'm a little concerned about putting anything custom because of my lack of technical knowledge. I'm afraid if I encounter any issues in the future,it wont be easily corrected with custom roms.
Does Zune then work with a custom Rom,or is it no longer needed?
Can anyone provide the factory firmware and instructions on how to download and install ?

Ok thanks. I guess I didn't read it well enough,as this is the thread that I did search ,but wasn't sure as to what link to use,and when I cliick on the links I got this:
http://lnx.lu/5yD, and I didn't think that was right as stated in the very 1st line of my original post. I guess I should have linked that thread and asked the question form there as which to use,and if I was supposed to be on some page for "final torrent"
okay, let's go slower then:
- went to the link with the factory firmware
- there are three roms provided there; since you said that your focus is a rev 1.4, the correct rom is the one labeled WP7_PRODUCT_4K (1.4 HW), in other words, the rom named "Samsung i917 Focus firmware UCJK3 ATT USA 4K"
- clicked the link, multiupload says that the file is no longer available
- went back and checked the other two just because... all gone... figures, HEH
- performed a web search for the term "Samsung i917 Focus firmware UCJK3 ATT USA 4K" (see the trend here?)
- while most of the mirrored links are dead, there are still mirrors alive and well, as noticed on the very first page of results
- one of these is stored on depositfiles, the link: http://depositfiles.com/files/oimdoqz1r
- the other is on zippyshare, http://www7.zippyshare.com/v/14086695/file.html
now your mission is:
- download the file
- follow enderpsp's guide, here, again: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=17092804#post17092804
- if successful, treat yourself to a nice drink
- SAVE THE FILE in its original package and store it in a cool, dry location for future use
...and that's why i said that search works. because it does
cheers and good luck
ps. there's a thanks button in this forum for a reason :angel:

I agree,as long as you know what your searching for. When you find threads with broken links ,as I did,it makes a noob even more confused then when they started the search. See 1st line of my original post.
I'm just a guy that had a working phone and when it went to update, killed my phone.
I had no idea the rom you posted is what I needed,,,,so again thanks:good:.

Now I'll explain what happened when I tried the above:
When you follow enderpsp's guide he states:
You will not need the "Samsung WP7 Flash Program" as it is included in the ROM (Samsung-i917-Focus-firmware-UCJK2-ATT-USA.exe).
Install Samsung Mobile USB Drivers v5.2
Unfortunately no instruction for a noob on how to install the USB Drivers:crying:
Next it states to:
"1. Copy "Samsung-i917-Focus-firmware-UCJK2-ATT-USA.exe" in a new folder and run it (Install). After running you will see these files:
signed_CSC_Cetus_ATT_i917ATTJK2.csc
signed_eboot_Cetus_ATT.eb0
signed_pda_Cetus_ATT.nb0
signed_phone_Cetus_ATT.bin
WP7 Downloader Ver 7.21 for All Device (Publish version).exe
WP7_Downloader_Ver_7.05_for_Retail_Device_(Product _Force_Select_MD5_X).exe
Then it goes on to state:
"The fhash program you need to run is
WP7_Downloader_Ver_7.05_for_Retail_Device_(Product _Force_Select_MD5_X).exe"
Unfortunately WP7_Downloader_Ver_7.05_for_Retail_Device_(Product _Force_Select_MD5_X).exe is not part of the download.
The flash program you are being told to run isn't there:crying:
Again very confusing for a noob (see the trend here?)
So currently here is where it stands. Don't ask me how,but after more hours spent on this then I can remember,I manage to restore the phone... YEAA !!
but when I connect the phone to the computer or just turn it on it tells me there are updates for the phone. Running these updates is exactly what caused the problem originally,so now I don't know if I should try again,or just leave a working phone alone?
But again,I really do thank you for your time and support.Yor help is what kept me going at trying to resolve my issue.

Yes,I did,but then it tells me there is a update. Updating the phone through Zune is what started my original problem.
Plus I'm not really sure what the update really is for.
Download the PDA file by CF: Over here
Download and install Drivers : Over Here !
Get ODIN: Over Here...
The process is meant for Galaxy S3 I9300
Enable USB debubugging and give it a good charge (though it doesnt really make an effect if off)
_First Power off device.
_after it's off, press and hold: vol.down-home-power
_then press volume up to continue
_then connect your phone to your computer via USB
_Open ODIN as Administrator
(If the phone is connected properly, one of the ID:COM boxes will turn yellow with the COM port numbe)
_Click the PDA tab in Odin and select the CF-Root-SGS3-v6.4.tar.
_In ODIN, check the Auto Reboot and F. Reset Time options. DO NOT TOUCH ANY OTHER OPTION!
_Click on the Start button in ODIN and it will start the installation process.
_Once the installation is done, the phone will restart, you can unplug the phone from the computer.
*And you should be good to go... with CWM too !
EnjoY Your rooted JB 4.1.2 SIII
Tested and verified to be working
if it doesn't work, you need to re-flash with auto reboot unchecked, then boot recovery to trigger installation
NOTE: I CANNOT TAKE RESPONSIBILITY IN CASE YOU DO SOMETHING WRONG OR SOMETHING HAPPENS FOR UNKNOW REASON OR ANYTHING !
Press Thanks if i helped !
Eureka!

You should also add that if it doesn't work, you need to re-flash with auto reboot unchecked, then boot recovery to trigger installation......but then if you did that this post would be identical almost to chainfires, hence making this post fairly redundant

it will work...anyways will add it... and this is a summary of his journals thanks
You should maybe add that KIES is turned off or even uninstalled. Otherwise odin will habe problems.
Anyway I guess anyone appreciates your effort but I also don't get the point of this thread as it is already included in the basic guides, in chainfires threads and who else knows where. But anyway thanks.

Playing with words doesn't change a fact that in your guide is small error as there's no need to enable USB debugging in order to use Odin.

yes, if you posses any logic, then all the things in the instruction have some effect on the outcome.
1. this had been posted before.
2. you haven't removed usb debugging from the guide
Ok, let's stop with the trolling. If you think something is wrong with the guide, post it and move along. If it is something that will brick someone's device, report it and a moderator will address it. Thanks for your cooperation.
maybe it's a stupid question, but after root my device with your method, is it safe to wipe with the recovery and install a custom rom??? thanks

No I'm sure we're all aware that there are quite a few issues with Wifi not working on S4 with certain ROMs/Kernels/Modems etc etc.
Now I've tried so many ROMs stock & custom, loads of different Modems, an assortment of Kernels and many tricks/hacks to try and get it working but nothing.... absolutely nothing.
I'm currently on ParanoidAndroid 3.99-RC2 27/12/13. Wifi obviously won't switch on, it can't seem to even find the MAC address even though the file is there to be read from and I can view it as a text document. Even more strange is that under the '/Data/misc/wifi/' folder, all that is in there is one file called 'softap.conf' and a folder called 'sockets'. Now I haven't actually deleted the 'wpa_supplicants.conf' file, it was just never created, along with the rest of the contents for that folder. Unless what I read about Symlinks the other day meant that the actual working folder has changed recently.
But list of things I have tried:
Deleting .cid.info file
Deleting wpa_supplicant.conf file
Editing build proper 'Ro.secure.storage=false' attribute
Doing the SQlite trick
Pulling the battery whilst it's on
Using programs like Wifi Fixer - they just tell me my wifi is stuck
Using *#0011# to turn off power saving
Selecting the Wifi Region Code
Unticking Wifi Optimisation
Changing Wifi during sleep action
Using *#*#4696#*#*, It states "Configured Networks: Disabled", "Wifi State: Disabled" and "Supplicant Sate: UNITIALIZED"
More testing:
Different Modems
Different Kernels
Different ROMs
Different Wifi-Fixes
Any help on the matter would be greatly appreciated or any addition tricks to try that may help.
Dial *#1234# and make us a screenshot pls :good:
Unfortunately that code doesn't seem to work on this ROM, I did also try *#*#1234#*#*, what information is it that you're after?

Equally didn't work, take it, it's one of the codes that only work on Stock or TW based ROMs?

Pls read the rules of XDA. You have a custom ROM, ask in correct thread. Ty and good day
I stated that I was on a custom ROM in my opening post... Equally I stated that it didn't matter what ROM I used it didn't work on any of them, from complete stock ROMs to AOSP and Google.
Flashing stock ROM now so that I can test those codes.

Sorry for my words if they made u feel bad. You must understand that the custom ROMS have own thread and we can't try all of them and solve the fails/problems/troubles that can appears. It's nothing personal :highfive:

Here's the screenshot. Some codes like 526 and 528 which I've been told reloads the Wifi drivers doesn't seem to work at all which is a bit of a shame.

1- Turn off ur phone. Go to DOWNLOAD MODE and Flash THIS (unrar it before) in Odin as PHONE/CP!!
2- When u finish the process ur phone will reboot
3- Try if u have WIFI. If not make a factory reset:
- Make a Internal Memory backup
- From your home screen press the apps icon in the lower right corner.
- Find and press the settings icon.
- In the upper end of the screen press the accounts tab.
- In the bottom of the next screen press the Backup and reset button.
- Press the factory data reset.
- Read the info on your cell phone screen and hit Reset device.
Unfortunately after going back to the stock ROM, I have tried both, I did the Wifi-Fix again, just to humour myself, but it didn't work. Though since going back to Stock ROM it is able to find the MAC address, which it wasn't doing on AOSP ROMs. Short of rooting the device again and fiddling with files I don't know what else I can try on completely Stock to make it work

Hahahah. Yes it is slower than a turtle but safe. You have now all correct: firmware, modem and CSC (MJ5). Kies 3 will get it as an official UPDATE. We hope all go ok . Take your time sir and enjoy the rest of the day :highfive:
Well after waiting over an hour for it to finish it's updated and everything seems to have gone fine. The only issues is that Wifi still doesn't work.
