[Q] What are some good ways for lazy people to root their Galaxy S3 ?

I found this (Framaroot), but it did not work on mine.

Have you tried this method? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1957273

Which Rom are you using?
SuperSU?

During setup, SuperSU was one of the choices, then there was another with a similar name (I forget what the other option was at the moment.)
That is, assuming I understand your question correctly.
2 exploits that were available did not work. There was even some hesitancy to install it in the first place because an alert said Google recommends you don't install this because it contains suspicious code (not in those words, but you know what I mean.) I went ahead with installation because I didn't hear any negative talk about it after a little searching through the internet.

Questions go in the q&a forum, report your own post and ask a moderator to move it.
Instead of taking the chance of bricking your phone, why not follow the routing guide in the sticky thread?

Getting an abort Status 6 on in PhilZ as well.
Trying to use new v3, love the idea of replacing everything with Google apps.

For some reason qabot made a q&a thread. Just post in the original. I'm no thread "Nazi".

The remote was never deleted, quick memo is a "bug" and I left fmradio, I actually commented it out, as some use it. In v3a quick memo, lg clock and fmradio will be deleted.

Lg home, lg keyboard, and lg application manager can not be removed. It causes severe problems on a clean flash or if a factory reset is done. The system goes into a eternal set up loop as it won't set Google now launcher or keyboard as default reliably. You missed the great nexus edition debacle of 2014.

Okay now I understand must have missed something what was this great debacle?

i'm having error 491 trying to update play store services :\

It didn't work! [emoji79]
Every time I flashed and thought I had it something sorted out another issue arose. It was either no keyboard, or the setup loop.
Basically the ROM need to launch the EULA to let you in and it won't do that if lghome and/or application manager isn't there.
Replacing the keyboard was just as flakey.

Anyone else? Shouldn't have anything to do with this as it doesn't touch anything but lg apps and services.

Haha I again yes I got 491 too, didn only happen after flashing the remover, can't give further details cuz u reverted to my last backup pardus HD need that stable with everything working

Thanks for the script. Tried it out last month and it was mostly great. I'm wary of using it again, though. My main issue (other than the build.prop edits) was that it caused the hidden settings menu not to work. Can anyone confirm that it still works after flashing the script? (I'm on a D802 if that makes any difference.)

i can test after the new release

Thank you for your Best of the work. however if you add some description after each apk it will be really apperciated. i know you added some but most of them are not commented so i did debloat some of the nesssary app:crying: i have to reflash the whole rom to make them back.

Sorry, but it was documented that most lg apps would be uninstalled, and the big ones people might miss was put in the op. Having a backup as well.

MultiRom Support

Hey Guys
I recently heared about the MULTI ROM And I really like it
But When I Installed it says that our device isn't supported :crying::crying:
And The End It Says if U want to develop MultiRom for your Device , The MultiRom Wiki Page Is GooD Is UR Place To Start
Link : https://github.com/Tasssadar/multirom/wiki/Porting-MultiROM
:highfive::highfive:
AS I am not a dev. I am Asking :angel::angel: OUR GREAT DEVS. :fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed: To Port It For Us !! ( @pawitp , @k2wl , @jackeagle , @xenon92 , @codekidX , @Any other great dev. I haven't mention ) I am SURE That U can do it if you become a group
What Do U Think ????
THX ​

Dude currently multirom supports very few devices.
How could you install something without confirming if it supports your phone or not? It shows absolute ignorance on your part. If it included some other method like flashing, you could have bricked your phone. Do not blindly do anything in future.
Well now back to topic, multirom is basically similar to dualboot.
And many people have dualboot problems with pc itself. Now what would you expect from this in android? I would expect a lot of roms( read all latest roms) to be incompatible with multirom+more usage of precious system space(which we are all kinda low on).
As for developing, our developers may give it a try if they have nothing else to do. But i dont think this is the case,as you can see all lead developers are maintaining and building seperate roms of their own directly from source. Thats a herculean task.
The rest is in their hands. All i am saying is that dont expect a affirmative reply.

I did install the app on the device but didn't install DUAL BOOT its self due it is not supported !
How Can I Brick My Device AS I didn't and can't install it !!!!!! :silly::silly:
Not Every One Can Use DUAL Boot ( For Me It Is Easy ) But They Can LEARN :fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed:
And As Our Devs. Who Will Develop It I am Sure he Will MAKE It at least Compatible With His ROMS
As For STORAGE : U can use a MICRO SD CARD or Check Out @k2wl tutorial for increasing the SPACE !!!! :good:
I am not forcing the DEVS. to make it ready after 24 hours !!
If U read the post I Sais " I am ASKING "
And Really Appreciate their hard work on 5.0 LOLLIPOP !!!!! THX FOR ALL DEVS
GOOD LUCK :angel::angel:

You couldnt dual boot coz it didnt support. No use lamenting here about it coz it was your fault, u should have checked for supported device.
So i am assuming you will install just abouy any new interesting feature u find, without even knowing what it could do to your phone. In your case, it did nothing. I am saying it could have corrupted your phone(had it been something else, say, for explanations sake, a zip file. Now zip files replace things in your phone. Something could have gone wrong).
What i am coming to say is do not try anything new without knowing its compatibility, and then come crying here and saying that it did not work.

Multi user

Hi, the battery life of my s7edge just sucks, it's the same of my old rooted note 3. I want to install a custom rom, but i use and i love knox, so I'm asking you guys if someone with some patch or zips, installed a multi user function. I'd like to install a note 7 porting. Did someone tried this ?
I just want to replace knox, if i found a legit alternative to a secondary ambient like it I'm going to install a rom instantly.
Thank u all

Viper4Android is working though a bit tricky to enable in Android 10. The only reason I keep rooting phones.

I believe it is as long as you don't pull out too much bass which might clip or distort the sound.
Some phones come with a weak volume setting by software, that might result in a compressed sound the higher you push up which I don't like, so better have your mixers_patch or whatever it is now to manually set the value as loud as you like.

For me it worked pretty straight forward on my N986N.
Did you use the patched kernel provided by Dr Ketan to root your device?
Did Viper ask to grant permissions at first launch?

he removed it and put news instructions, to create own which I did
But ur model is N986N - its different than 9860

got Viper working after re-rooting
Download latest Viper4Android
Install - When it ask to download drivers, DONT
Open Magisk and install Audio Modifications Library
Open Viper4Android again
This time press OK > Give rights > Let it install driver
Reboot ( Mine did it 3 times to install ) but it did
After that check the status > Mine was Processing = NO
You can test by playing audio and pick headphone etc and see if Status Changes
Mine did not so I followed XDA post abt this
Steps are ( Need Root Exploer )
Goto data/adb/modules/aml/system/etc and give RW permissions to audio_effects.conf - MOVE it to data/adb/modules/aml/vendor/etc
Reboot and is all good

I've not needed to root in YEARS, Last Samsung phone I rooted was the S7. What are the advantages these days? obv I'd lose Knox secure folder, which is shall we say handy and Samsung Pay. Last I checked Google Pay worked using MagiskHide module part of Magisk

Viper4android is working with no tricks
Everything else

does this phone work on verizon? 4g?
i don't care about 5g.
