Hi all,
New to all this. Have performed a root using the instructions here. Thanks lyriquidperfection
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1125414
Seemed to work ok, just installed first insecure kernal on the list without matching to my kernal, it installed Superuser but not Busybox, so installed that from the market.
The reason I wanted to root it apart from 4.0.4(needs to be rooted?) coming soon was in the hope I could get shot of some of the locked apps Samsung and Google installed on it. Busybox looks to me that you need to know what you are doing to use it. So the question is is there anything simple I can use to get rid of the locked apps that I don't want?

check the link below for the same ma8
Spread Sheet of removable APPS
ps- read carefully the same to understand the apps importance and then remove it if its safe
Thanks Sun, that will help greatly
Wonder why they make it so complicated, most of the pre-installed stuff is a lot of tosh, then again so is the Market stuff

Well, I just got my phone yesterday and before I start adding a apps that I like. Would it be better to root now? I know the phone just came out, so are the rooting methods we have good quality roots? because I don't want to mess up my phone since I already had it for 2 days. . I know im just over thinking but just would like some feedback from xda. Also is there anyway getting rid of all the bloatware this phone has? or do I have to wait for a custom rom?
note: I'm with AT&T
thanks alot xda
Hey whats up? You might want to play with your new GS3 for a bit to see what you like and dislike about the phone. That way, when you are ready to flash a custom ROM, you know what style of ROM that you like. For instance, the Galaxy S3 uses the TouchWiz interface. Some ROM's are based on TouchWiz and some are striped down like AOKP or CyanogenMod. Hopefully you know what I'm talking about, otherwise you shouldn't think about rooting or flashing ROM's until you do some research. Make sure you know what rooting is before you jump in. To answer your question, you can remove bloatware after you root your phone with Titanium Backup. (purchase the pro version) You do not need a custom ROM to remove bloatware. By having root access, you open up your phone to a whole new world! After you gain root access, your next step is flashing custom ROM's. My advice, do a lot of reading here on XDA and learn. Also, YouTube has some great videos on rooting and flashing ROM;s. (check out galaxyS3root.com) Make sure that anything you flash/mod, specifically says it is for your phone. Make/Model/Carrier etc. If you have any questions about this stuff, PM me. I like to help.

Also be sure if you should manually remove any bloat you do not remove anything you are not sure 100% about. there are many components that are bloat but linked directly to Touchwiz....if parts are removed upon reboot or a factory rest your phone may not be able to fully boot and you will be busting out ODIN.
After rooting and having CWM installed, first thing you should do is do a nandroid backup. If you ever screw up removing stuff from your phone, you can just restore it. I have a backup of my phone rooted before removing bloat and another after I have all the bloat removed.

Yup finally rooted myself after having the phone for nearly two weeks. I'm patiently waiting until Blazer ROM 1.3 is available for download so I don't need to worry about what bloatware is ok/not ok to remove. :victory:
After rooting your phone is anyone having problems with system update alerts that keep coming up ?

Hate to bump an old topic, but I have found a way to root the Rush, Phandroid has a guide up for rooting here.
All, I am a noob to this and could really use the help. Everything seems so convoluted.
I just returned my phone to AT&T because of some issues.I was able to root that one without an issue. However they now provided another phone with ICS on it. I don't want to install a ROM or change the kernel. Just want to use the AT&T software and have it come up the same way just rooted. I saw the GalaxyS2Root.com site but it changes the kernel to Siyah an load up screen picture is different.
I want to have the ability to load titanium back up and freeze the tethering program so I can tether my tablet.
Once again I just want a simple rooting program with minimal but detailed steps. I appreciate any assistance that you pros can give me.
Forever in your debt!!
Thanks

Dont go to galaxys2root and read the damn stickies. Cmon man!
I wish I could update the how to root guide in the stickies, but I'm not the original poster and the original poster has been gone from the forums since before Christmas. For what you want, use Odin to flash stock ICS plus root, which you can find in the development section, probably on the 2nd page.

Hi,
I just rooted my S3 JB 4.1.2 (XXELKC) so what is next?
Any recommendation to make use of all the benefits of Rooting
You can Install Adfree, Go Backup or Titanium backup and make a full backup of your data, First go to Recovery (CWM) make a full system backup.
After that you may wish to try some Custom roms, CrDroid or Wanamlite or Foxhound they are very good ROMS.
If you do not know what for are you rooting your phone - do not do it.
Most likely, your base benefit will be:-
- loss of stability due to overclocking;
- loss of functionality due to app freezing in TB;
- worse case scenario: phone brick.
sorry mate but your post looks like:
I just have removed all the fuses in my house, and I replaced it with rigid cable, so what should I do next?
If you do not know what for are you rooting your phone - do not do it.
As the man says root does nothing .
You root for a reason and not if you have no reason .
You would be far better off reading the basics in the stickies before trying to do what you know nothing about and risking a bricked phone .

First Phone I rooted was the the t-mobile G1. I had no idea what I was doing at the time... We all have to start somewhere...

You can install apps like adaway or such as stated above. I just want to tell you one thing. Naturally you will be curious to use custom ROMs like Ultima (it's really cool) or such. But before trying each different ROM have a Full Wipe.
May take a look at this thread:

ad blocking can be done without rooting https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.adblockplus.android&hl=en

Use Google my friend. Lots of bennies but I agree with JJE. Best to know why and what for.. before doing anything
Also please in the future ask Questions in the Q&A section.

Thank you all for your replies. My main reason to root to try different apps that require rooting. I don't think anyone when started rooting his/her device knows everything and what to do without referring to some help from forums of reading somewhere.

Sorry, but... actually I was acting contrary to that. I rooted my SGS two years ago first time to freeze/uninstall bloatware and to ban some apps from net usage, or to limit its net usage to WiFi only (by the use of Titanium Backup and DroidWall, respectively).
Unfortunately, DroidWall needs the root all time while running, otherwise, I'd unroot device as soon as I finished cleaning.

I first rooted my LG GT540 so that I could flash a CM7 port, best choice I ever made.
Now I use it for Titanium, root explorers, adfree, getRIL , fasterGPS, multi window control and to obsessively flash roms mainly.
Hi there,
I have my rooted I9100 (su binary v3.0.3.2) still running android 2.3.4. I think this is time to update to 4.x (JB is the latest available I guess) but after some research I couldn't find the firmware from a trusted source (since I have to perform the update manually due to root). Could anyone help me out? Some instructions would be nice too. Thanks
Sammobile.com (or JB thread sticked in the general forum) and flash with Mobile odin Pro.
Don't wanna pay for the pro version?
Mobile Odin Lite.
It doesn't get any easier than this.

thanks. Just flashed and everything's working fine. One more question: is there any way to remove all the pre-installed bloatware?

Yes, see @Sun90's post about which apps are safe to remove. And you can use titanium backup (from play store) to freeze/uninstall the apps you do not want.
Edit: gastonw beat me to it..
Freeze the apps first.....in case you mess with something you shouldn't. And make a nandroid before you start....that way you always have something to 'fall back' to if you freeze/delete something that the phone needs to boot .....

thanks @ all. I just found the Root Uninstaller Pro and removed everything I was sure that will not damage the system, like those Hubs and some carrier specific bloatware. Seems to work fine
