Develop Bugs

Been gone a while...Have a "yes" noob ?

Good evening. I havent been on here in a WHILE since I got rid of my htc EVO. I am looking for the new and easiest way to root/unlock my epic 4g touch please... I was reading around a few and some of them mess your wifi up and I need mine for work purposes. I would be flashing Cyan9 of course after I root the phone. I do apologize for the "noob" Where can I find the way to root question. Thanks again

It only takes minimal reading to find out how to root this phone. But you can use this link. Please follow the instructions! It may look complicated, but it really isn't.

You can't go wrong....

On phone so can't link, but if you go to develop section, there's 1 master sticky. In there is a ton of sticky posts, find the one on rooting. After that go to the cyan thread and read the first 2 pages. Then go to q and a questions with anything leftover. 10 min of reading and you'll be way ahead of where you are now. Good luck

Sfhubs auto root. If your flashing cm9 you'll need to add the EL26+cwm kernel to flash.

Just make sure you thoroughly read and follow the installation instructions for whatever ROM you are going to flash and always ask questions before you take any step you are unsure of. Don't take shortcuts or disregard any instructions.
There are so many people in this forum who are willing to help if only asked.
Happy flashing and good luck!

Im good to go! Thanks. Now the only thing its my "superuser" app is saying it has an update. I was reading some of the reviews on it and people said dont update. What should I do?

Cool. I will look into more before I do it. I worry my phone will turn into brick. I saw a few thread floating around.

Just read and read and read some more. As long as you follow all the guides step by step and are making sure everything you do is meant for YOUR device, you won't end up bricking your phone. In fact, you'll be pleased with the results. Guaranteed. But remember, every instructional thread you read has a warning. Read them carefully and if you're still uncomfortable, don't be afraid to ask more questions. Anyone willing to respond to a question typically knows what they're talking about.

According to samsung if u flash a custom binary u have voided ur warranty. New devices like in our case the S3, Even S2 has a binary counter which keeps counts how many times have u flash ur device with a custom Rom,but even with this counter installed there's always a work around to reset this counter and "cash in" in our warranties. So feel confident that u can root and always bring back ur device to stock and have full warranty coverage.!!! SO HACK ON AND FLASH AWAY!!! U' WILL LOVE IT! :good:

There are ways to reverse back to stock and reset your count to Zero so that T-mo cannot tell you rooted and you can return your phone if you need to. You need to search Unroot Galaxy SIII for instructions or look here in the forums.

Read some more than this guy even said. If you don't know even what root is then make sure you have read enough to know what you are doing first. We were all noobs once so we all know what your thinking. But you will not regret taking the leap on root. You just get so much more out of your phone than you can imagine.

You can install very useful apps that require root access for example like titanium backup, better battery stats, rom manager, root explorer.....
And also you can install roms and kernels.

your phone your choice

Benefits of rooting? Basically none for me. Yeah sure you can play with stuff. Install custom roms... void your warranty etc
I always rooted and installed custom roms but decided to go stock and only bother updating roms when updates are officially released and havent missed root one little bit.
It greatly depends on what your trying to achieve. If getting stuff done with no disruption, stability and an intact warranty are important to you then stay stock. If you enjoying tinkering, flashing "new" roms etc then go for it!
I was burned though, i got the complete piece of crap that is the htc one x last year. Voided my warranty with htc dev unlock THEN found out the phone had many issues due to awful build and quality control. I then vowed to never buy htc again. Bought an s3 then an lte note 2 and wont be looking back

You can make the phone you just paid £100's for, yours. i.e, getting rid of bloatware, unused apps that came on the phone.
I'm new to rooting/flashing roms, kernels etc but i can tell you... Do your research before thinking you're god. If you're unsure how to do it, research it.
When you 'think' you know how to do it, read more. Only do things when you are 100% sure you can.
I've fully customized my Galaxy s3 and never looked back. My phone is MINE

Glad that you realize theres nothing like a good root.

I wouldn't sweat rooting until you find an app that you want that requires root.
There are plenty though. My root apps:
Afwall+ - firewall
catlog - browse logcat (for debugging apps)
cerberus - security program
LBE security master - block apps from using various permissions
multi window manager - use any app in multiwindow
quickboot - nice boot program, makes it easy to boot into recovery mode.
titanium backup - backup/restore your phone or programs
xposed installer/settings - change dpi for individual programs
directory bind - Put game data on external SD card so they don't fill your phone up.
And of course, install roms and junk.
Changing/randomly adding things is more customizable if you have root - cool bootup movie, lightsaber sound when you pull out the stylus, etc etc.

Root Methods

I recently purchased an s3 and I'm a bit confused about the different methods I've seen for rooting.
Is one method preferred to another?
I'm learning how different this phone is from the evo 4g I've been using for the past 2.5 years.

Easiest way to root is to use Odin and install your custom recovery and then the team epic root zip. Just make sure you install all the drivers for your phone first

I know I'm late to the party, but here's my two cents:
As far as I'm aware, all of the various guides (and toolkits) actually use the same method (although, the toolkit does have a tendency to bork the wifi). It's just really the packaging they come in. Whenever I recommend a guide to people, I always link this guide by Skunk Ape. It's intuitive and explains each step quite well, with pictures and clear instructions. I've never had someone come back to me asking for clarification after reading that guide.
Hope you enjoy your rooted phone!

Gotta say.....so far these s3 forums seem really friendly. Thanks for all the advice guys.....really digging this phone and forum so far

If this was the evo 4g forum and I started a thread like this some dude with 20 posts would have already flamed me and called me a noob......hahaha

Welcome to the Sprint forums! We're generally nice people. The only time you really see the ugly side is if you flash an international Rom to your phone (which bricks it, btw). That's when the sarcasm comes out.
Just stick to Roms made for our phones (d2spr, not i9300) and you'll be fine!

So after researching roms and reading/.watching reviews, it seems that blazer is closest to stock minus all the bloat/samsung stuff that is loaded by default. Is this correct, or would u guys recommend a different rom for a STOCK experience +tweaks/-bloat.
I swear if I bought an htc phone I wouldn't be quite as clueless.

Everyone on here would probably recommend a different rom. I'm currently running msg&chubbz rom. It's pretty stock, does have a lot of features from gs4. Does have "minit settings" which allow you to change battery icon/color, clock color/location, and some others, but besides these changes its pretty stock. I was clueless to s-offing my brothers evo lte, but I got it eventually. HTC phones are a little more confusing to most people.

For a truly stock ROM you can check out freezas thread. He has all the latest Sprint updates and so forth. You can't get any closer to stock than that. I also recommend TPR. They are really great over there.

Yes, you will trip the Knox flag, currently no method to reset it. TWRP is fine, just do some reading about restoring backups.. If done incorrectly, you will experience what's been coined "The Brickloop"

Just root it using Odin and Chainfires auto-root method, I'm not familiar with the custom kernel as yet, so I won't comment on that. Once you root, you still keep all stock functionality, just have administrative rights, so to speak. If you're not too familiar with rooting, flashing, etc.. I wouldn't recommend starting right now with the Note 3, still early in the aftermarket development stage..

Considering all of the challenges that people have faced with Fierce bootloops - and for a while no way way to fix them, this is a situation where you would do very well to do some reading before you do anything. There are two root methods currently both are outlined in the Original Android Development Section for the TMOBILE NOte 3 - you can download everything you need from there - and I think it would be very helpful for you to read thru what others have done and experienced before you do anything - then you can make your own decision about which root method is best for your needs.
I don't mean to sound sanctimonious or anything but if there ever was a time that reading thoroughly first was a good thing to do - this is one of those times..good luck

What did my post have to do with your asking for a link? Well, I didn't want to be this direct but If you simply opened the Original Android Development thread and took less than a minute to read, you wouldn't need to ask for a link. You would see that there were two threads available that offered details that would give you exactly what you wanted. Two different ways to root.
In fact, in less time than it took you to write your post and wait for an answer, you would have had exactly what you were looking for.
My response to you was a gentle reminder that reading is a good thing.

The fact that you took all this time to write all that and ridicule me is ridiculous when it would have been easier for you to have just been nice and post the link like the last guy did. .. Sorry I didn't see it however easy it was, but that's why we are here to help one another. ..so please next time either don't comment at all and let someone else who wants to help, help, or just help someone out. ..It goes a long way and makes this place more civil. ..

I am sorry you felt I was ridiculing you. That was not my intent at all. THis forum is loaded with people who have have had major issues when flashing a recovery which is often the next step after rooting - there are more reports of people who have had to return their note 3 to TMOBILE than I can remember seeing on a single phone in a very long time. My Suggestion for you to read was purely intended to help you - it is easy to let others do the work for you - when often trouble could have been avoided by being more educated. What struck me as odd was the fact that it was so easy to find the link you were looking for - if you only opened one section of the forum in the Original Android Development you would have found it. But that is besides the point.
My comments were always supportive - and intended to help you. Period. I am sorry that you are so caught up in the " I want what I want when I want it "- that you can't see that. XDA is a forum designed for people to learn more about their phones and to ultimately try to get more out of them than you can get in a Stock phone...I have been in your shoes before and done exactly what you did when asking for a link - and have gotten a similar reply to the one I gave you. I am grateful it happened to me because it forced me to take a step back - do a little reading - learn more about the challenges others have faced and in the end, avoid those same problems myself.
Once more, I am Sorry you feel I was ridiculing you - couldn't be farther from the truth - I wish you well and hope you enjoy your NOTE3. Have a nice day my friend.

No problem. .. Just to let you know that thread doesn't show up in my app which I always use.. It only showed up on my computer. .. That's why I didn't see it. ..
After I rooted the system it said modified and ota wouldn't work. .. so I installed xposed framework and then wanam xposed module and there is a setting to set system to original and that works for ota...

I may be wrong but I thought that using that option in Wanam Exposed was cosmetic only. It changes that to Official in Settings - but doesn't really effect how your phone is recognized as being 'altered" - LIke I said, I might be wrong, but that is what I heard. You might check with someone who knows more about this than I do
Good luck

That's what I thought also but when I tried to go to the ota update setting it told me that this is a modified system and when I use that module then it told me that there was no further updates... so I guess that made it work. ..
