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!
Hahaha lol, dude are you serious ?
You can remove the cable as soon as Odin says Done/Reset. USB debugging is not a must. ....

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

Hi
I'm a newbie at this so be friendly :]
I just got an S4 and I felt very happy. However I hate those sudden stutters that occurs every 20-45 seconds.
the three devs option on 0.5 and animation is completely off still a bit lag.
Fixed S voice home button delay lag.
I want to install this rom. People say that with this specific rom it makes the phone much more butter smooth than stock.
Question is how, how do I install it step by step.
Appriciate all help given .

For the second one, no. You just need to download and install ODIN on your PC. Also KIES, for the drivers. Make sure that, after you install Kies, you kill the application from Task manager (and also kies agent). And (obvious) all the files in the post.
Then proceed as explained in the post. Please have a look, read, and if it is not clear come back with questions.

I read your replies and I have learned to root/unroot with guides here on XDA and on Youtube for easier explanation. I am now currently running
Adam Kernel v1.5, wanam.
Omega V9 for GT-i9505 GS4
And Crossbreeder 7.2... something I don't remember.
I just want to say thanks for your help and attention

Thank you friend.
hi there,
i have s4 i9500 and i would like to know if installing a rom in related to the sim lock since i'm locked on a carrier will i be able to install a rom and use he phone to make calls or not?
Hello everyone, Im new here and this is my first thread. Please forgive me if I make mistakes. And sorry, I got no screenshots.
Did you ever wish you had Android KitKat on your GT-N5100? Well wish no more! The Official Update has already been released to Korea and Poland! It shouldn't take long for it to reach to other countries.
But if you are impatient, you can flash it now via Odin! ☺
Notes:
Make sure you have at least 80%
Make sure you have a back up
Make sure you remove ALL signs of root (e.g. Xposed,Busybox etc.)
Make sure all the apps in your External SD is moved to your Internal Storage. (To avoid force closing problems)
Make sure you have USB Debugging Enabled in Settings>Developer Options>USB Debugging
BEFORE THE PROCEDURE MAKE SURE YOU MAKE A BACK UP BECAUSE THIS CAN SOFT BRICK YOUR DEVICE.I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANYTHING YOU DO WITH YOUR PHONE/TABLET/PHABLET
LETS BEGIN!!!
Download the Firmware from the Post below
After that unzip it and you will see 2 files, just put your attention to the tar.md5 files
Install Odin3 (Links below)
Now you need to install Samsung Kies. (Link also Below)
After installing kies go to the Odin3 Folder, Right click on it and hit "Run as Administrator"
Now that your done with the PC's Part. Put your attention on your tablet and shutdown/Power Off
After that press Volume Down and Home for a few seconds until you get into a screen with a Warning, just press Volume Up to continue.
And after that connect your phone to your PC via USB and Odin should automatically detect it.
An ID:COM[Number] will show in a box on the upper right and then click on PDA and go to the directory of where you put the unziped firmware folder you downloaded from SamMobile. Select the tar.md5 file.
After that make sure you dont have re-partition checked. Double check if you need to and hit "START"
PLEASE DONT REMOVE YOUR PHONE UNTIL YOU SEE A "PASS" MESSAGE IN THE BOX.
After that it should reboot and you now have Android 4.4.2 Kitkat on your GT-N5100!
Good Luck!
Incase you get in a Boot Loop
Press Volume Up and Power button to get into Recovery and perform a Factory Reset (Data wipe) then Wipe Cache Partition and Reboot.
Enjoy!

I would not flash official 4.4.2 kitkat with odin, over kies or over ota. You will get kitkat bootloader with knox, no write permissions for your apps to sd card, no working rooting method which would not trigger knox and void your warranty.
The rooting method he linked does not work for Exynos 4412 devices. Read the comments to the original geohots post in s5 forum or at least the towelroot thread in this section.

Yeah it doesn't work, use CF-Auto-Root. Works perfectly,but you will see SuperSU Force closing or in some cases, it is not installed to fix this, install/update SuperSU
If and onlyif it doesn't work, try again.

So everything was OK. But i have downloaded Poland version of 4.4.2 N5100XXDND8 from samsung updates page.
thank U
Sorry for the newbie question but how can I efficiently and completely backup my device? Any apps/software I can use? I know that I can just make a copy of all my photos, videos, etc to my laptop but how about my apps and its data? Will they be deleted after flashing this firmware?
I've got a problem here .
My simcard doesn't work .
It keep saying emergency calls only

After I flashed my GT-N5100 with Samsung's official firmware, it keeps crashing apps everytime... Why??
PS: I can't install Ten Million (10000000) game as well somehow.

efs problematic after flashing firmware N5100
HI, its my first post on xda and new to this world so i will try to be reasonable here.
i followed the steps mentioned in this thread except one, i.e. i didnt make a backup. Now my n5100 wont move beyond initial samsung logo and the recovery mode says "cannot mount / efs"
i also found a thread which makes some excellent points (see below), but i would still like to know if any of you tried this and had a similar problem. if so, did you find a DIY method

Guys, if you have any custom recovery, and this method is not working, fret not.
Download the supersu zip :http://download.chainfire.eu/396/SuperSU/
And flash it. I understand this is not noob friendly, but installing a custom recovery has major advantages! Like you can install new ROMs ,and other stuff!
hello every body from 1 year ago i wanted to root my phone so today i do this but not by odin because odin cant detect my phone and i decided to root with kingo root from my pc so it is done
and then i want to install custom recovery mod like twrp on my phone so i installed twrp manager on my phone and selected my model of phone and then the app loading for downloading something (i dont know)
and then it want reboot my phone so i touched "yeah no problem" and my phone turned of and never turned on even when conected with pc and charger !!!! so now it like be a stone !
