No, but readme

Read the link that veyka mentioned, quite comprehensive.
CF-Root is what I've used, its not difficult but ofcourse make sure u backup and follow the steps correctly.
There is another method using a program called One Click Root, google it. i tried it worked and rooted and automatically installed superuser, but it was weird when i rebooted my phone it was not rooted!, so i used CF-Root method.

I'm only guessing here sorry.
Update.zip from the stock recovery. Never made one to try if it can be done.
Are you not able to use Odin via your computer for the 1st root flash?
If you can then you can use mobile Odin for flashing without the computer after that. Eg. Download Odin compatible firmware/kernel/modem etc directly to your phone then flash using mobile Odin. No pc involved.
Good luck.

At the moment I can't use a PC, maybe in a week or 2 (if I'm lucky 1). That's why I searched for an app. Nothing worked right now.
I appreciate all of your help!

Can I use an update.zip on a stock ROM?
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA App

Its been a while since ive seen the stock recovery but I believe you can only use an update.zip with stock.
It's got to be created the right way though. Can't just rename a zip to update.zip.

Same issue here, it installs but can't use full app lime backup etc..
I'm now using clockwork recovery touch 6. Something.
Get the .tar flash it with Odin or mobile Odin, it's pretty much the same
Just enter recovery by power home and volume up when device is off
I got it from your drop, it installed but get the same error that I get from the cf root 6.4 package .

It won't be fully compatible until Chainfire updates it for JB.
Yeah thought as much, I prefer CWM in os, also I hear it's not compatible with clockwork recovery touch too

[Q] Rooting without computer?

Just bought a SGS3 and want to root it (adaway & other little goodies). No custom rom yet (wanna play with stock). However I'm computer-free (no access to any Pc/mac/linux) for 2-long-days. Any possibility to root sgs3 only with the phone (&internet)?

Download cf root and flash using mobile Odin. I think you can get it free off xda or pay for it from the app store. Follow normal rooting guide except use mobile Odin when it says normal odin. I did it that way.

As far as I know you need to be rooted to be able to use mobile odin. Hence will not work without root.

Unable to flash stock rom from a custom rom

I installed neat rom and i didnt create a backup. Thanks to my foolishness
Now when i connected to odin to flash stock firmware. Its failing each and every time. Help!
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda app-developers app
Does Odin first of all recognize your phone? (is there a yellow highlited box somewhere?)
Do you have the correct drivers instaled on the PC?
Is the usb cable damaged?

Don't update via Kies...Kies=b*lls*it.Update normally via odin.
Yeah....odin recognizes. I usually flash my phone to stock when it is flashed with siyah's kernal. When it comes to custom roms, i would restore to siyah's kernel via backup.
Usb drivers are installed fine. Kies not working in background.

You need check first whether you have downloaded correct firmware according to your CSC. or use Multi CSC Package,with that you can change your CSC (Consumer Software Customization).
Have a look here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=43142932. Its a guide to troubleshoot an Odin flash if it fails.

Delete mods

Hi I added a multi window mod on my Samsung galaxy s2 and I want to delete it because it dont work and my vol menu has messed up since that. When I turn it on its says android is upgrading
Starting apps. Please can some one. No custom rom and no root. Thanks. I have some pics.
You don't have a pre-mod backup, right?

I wonder if anyonevhave got like a uninstaller.zip to get rid of multi window
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda app-developers app
your best bet is to reflash the rom. It should boot as per normal with all the mods removed. You can flash your custom kernel if you have one after the first boot. Its best to make a backup before making any modifications.
If I use odion will it delete my external sd
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda app-developers app
Im not confident with flashing
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda app-developers app
If you are not sure, simply take your sd out before flashing :good:
Besides, what files does the mod affect?

Flash with mobile odin and don't tick ever root and you'll be ok. Get stock rom from sammobile stick it on int sd and flash away.

You cannot un install it just like that because this mod is made by modifying SystemUi.apk and possibly a couple of other's, removing it actually is a simple procedure of replacing the files in the multi window flash package with your default stock one's and flash via cwm but I doubt you could do that, your best bet is a re flash via Odin like the others said.

Did you download the stock firmware from sammobile.com. Just go to sammobile.com and download the official firmware according to your country and flash it from odin.

Hopper8's 'Odin troubleshooting' thread stickied in the General section, find it, try the stuff in the thread as many times as you have to in order to get a successful flash of stock to get a 'clean slate'.
