Hi,
Does anyone knows, how to resolve this problem?
When i flash with a stock rom, every thing is ok, but if i root it, the device status change.
In trakning this topic " http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1695238&page=131" but looks like there is a lot of info....but nothing is working.
Thank you.
Because you've modified your device by flashing a custom kernel....modified device = modified status. Normal device = normal status.

But im not flashing with a custom kernel, or least i think isn´t custom.
Download from, samsung-updates, the file >

In fact it is the CF-root-kernel

Them the only solution is to wait for a new version of cf-Root.. right?

He is correct cf root does not use a modified kernel to root S3s but you are still technically making adjustments to your s3 when you flash cf root. This is why u will always have modified status after rooting.
The 1st few paragraphs of the cf root thread probably explain it better than me lol
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda premium
Anything that replaces the recovery and and stock kernel is deemed "custom" although cf-root is based on the stock Samsung kernel, the fact you have to use Odin in order to flash it is deemed as "modifying" your device....hence the modified status

But the msg, only appears with JB.....
Ok, then what is the solution to have root, with JB, and not having, the device status modified.... just like before JB.
The "problem", we lost the Samsung updates...

Losing Samsung updates is not a problem for XDA members we don't use the OTA or Kies route .
First job is to remove Kies and delete OTA app .

Ain't gonna happen its always been the way with s3 even on ics, you root and you will have a modified status. But as jjegan already said here on xda you don't worry about ota/kies updates just flash new versions through Odin software and your good to go.

1. note the current version of your rom
2. goto chainfire cf root thread in "original android development page"
3. download the matching cf root version
4. flash it via cwm
I can't seem to figure out which one I should use
My kernel is: LPQ

If you put the wrong one, it could.
Settings> About Phone> Baseband Version> check the last 3 letters, and I believe yours is LPQ so get CF-Root for LPQ and you should be good. After flashing that with Odin, you should have CWM and root.
Use the efs app to make a backup.

I'm still a little confused on how root my phone.. do I just flash the rooted kernel by chainfire via Odin?
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA
Download the correct file from Chainfire. Unzip it once. Dont unzip it twice. Your looking for the file to end in .tar. Make sure Kies is not running. start Odin as administrater, connect the phone to the pc through USB. ID:COM should show up yellow. Click on PDA. Load the .tar file.
Make sure Re-Partition is NOT TICKED. Auto Reboot and F. Reset Time SHOULD BE TICKED. Press start. DO NOT REMOVE THE USB CABLE till you have a green pass,as this will result in a bricked phone..
How big are my chances to get my phone bricked by using triangleAway??
i want to use cf-root in my Phone, but before i do it, I need to now if this will erase my personal data...
Thanks for the help.

dr.m0x is right. it won't erase any personal data ... The only thing it does is (as far as i know) install a different kernel and install a different recovery program.
PS And btw it also installs the programs SuperSU and CWM
One question about this: is it true that I can't get ota updates after applying cf root? Instead I have to flash them with odin?
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
There may be a problem with OTA updates, if they work your device will probably be unrooted though so you just have to root it again

Well if you having this problem with OTA, you can always update via Kies which was working fine for me. I was in XXALF6 and rooted and managed to update to XXBLFB via Kies, but all modification, root and custom kernel gone.

Hi! I attempted to root my S2 via a method I found here whereby I flash an insecure kernel then root using S2 root. I followed the guide to the T and still my phone is only ''partially rooted'' according to rootchecker and no root apps could be granted su access.
I am running ICS 4.0.3, Baseband Version XXLPS.
What should I do next or should I accept defeat and leave this phone unrooted? What could I have done wrong?
Thanks in advance for reading.

flash the latest siyah kernel v3.4.1 either from ur recovery (use siyah .zip file) or thro Odin ( use siyah .tar file) and then see
Thanks Sun!
I have downloaded the Tar file. I assume what I do now is flash it onto my phone and retry S2 Root again?

If you flash Siyah you will be already rooted.
Ah, then perfect. Thank you!
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda app-developers app
Either I am an uber noob or there is something wrong!
I downloaded the Siyah 3.4.1.tar kernel from gokhanmoral and flashed via odin and the phone sat at the boot screen with the little yellow triangle on it. I left the phone on and running like that for 10minutes.
I flashed my insecure kernel back on from last time (the one I used when trying to root using s2root) and it is fine again.
Anywho I am back to square one! -.-

ok buddy follow this steps to reroot ur phone in a proper manner.
1) Dwnld the official ICS firmware(4.0.3) and flash thro odin
link Here
2) after that please dwnld the Matching Cf- root kernel and flash thro' ODIN
link Here
ur phone will be rooted properly and should wrk fine
ps- read the OP of both the threads carefully and follow the instructions over there to root ur phone successfully
If you only need proper root, no custom or insecure kernels and no yellow triangle, look at the guide in my signature. Worth the try

Hey i had a similar problem. There is a superuser n buybox zip file that you will find on one forum here,that is about basic how to root. Copy those files to your phone then go to recovery and apply zip. I had a hard time with my phone partially rooted but thay solved it

So my S2 died the other day and I went to buy a i9300. Now I've been searching about S3 rooting and I've found conflicting info on this.
So when I first rooted my old S2 I did it with a temporary CWM that disapeared ofter reboot stayed in stock with stock kernel and kies was able to update my firmwsre without deleting root. I actualy updated from 2.3.5 to ICS via kies without removing root or loosing it after.
I was wondering if the same could be done with the i9300 I want to remain stock for now and don't want to replace stock recovery with CWM. Is there a temporary CWM for S3 so I can push the SU binary to system part without flashing anything over stock?

Recently it has been a bit buggy and with a few hanga but after a glorious one year i gotta say.

But if i update is a major update now yeah? I mean is one year i dont update it...

Hi, if you are doing OTA it will be 4.2.2 or 4.2.3 at best, you will loose root, but not files or data.
Some apps may stop working or work differently, nothing to worry about.
Thanks and hows that? Major improvements? Something always weird with this one was the greenish tint when shooting with the flash... Is that fixed?
And there is a new chainfire's root out there i guess....

Just want to say this isn't correct. Don't know if it's mistyped or something else, but it should be 4.1.2 'at best'.
Last official (thus OTA available) update for S2 will be 4.1.2. Sad as it is, for today's standards it is still acceptable.
what do you guys think about the 4.3 like sentinel rom?

As for ROM selection, try PAC rom, (latest nightly 4.3.1) I am really happy with this rom as my dd.

The OTA will probably fail.....the OTA package looks for a stock setup, and if you've modified that setup in any way (custom kernel) the OTA won't install.....even if it *didn't* fail, the kernel would be overwritten and you'd lose root.
If it were me, I'd make use of chainfires mobile odin, download a jb firmware from sammobile and update that way......

Did you enable the 'ever root' option in mobile Odin?
If not, you'll have to root the phone afterwards (if you want to)
A good place to start is the PhilZ kernel (rooted stock kernel + touch cwm)

Yeah....I guess that's 'project butter' or whatever it's called....it's supposed to give an overall smoother performance........
If you are going to stay with stock, my advice would be to 'de bloat' it.....I used Titanium Backup to freeze the bloat first, then delete it after I'd found out that it wasn't needed/critical for the phone to run.......
