Looking for a good and safe or at least as safe as you can get root method. I'm running the latest android 4.1.2 and I've been reading some of the root methods mess with your camera, bluetooth and the call quality and I really don't want to mess those up my main reason for wanting to root is to get rid of samsung & at&t's bloatware any info or help is greatly appreciated.
there are endless posts and threads about this subject; you really need to search for your answers before asking a simplistic question like this..
Thanks for your help I appreciate it

I used the Galaxy Note 2 Toolkit that can be found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2052779

Not just this....but READ!!
The best thing to do is to research ALL or at least a few different root methods.
Hell check out how it's done on other phones just to see how basically the same method is applied to different phones.
The toolbox is great but if you dont understand whats actaully going on
(When you figure it out youll be like wth?? Thats all it doing?)
Read, read and re-read
Should be the mantra of xda.
Im not just talkin instructions on how to "one click" either...
"But why freakboy13?"
Because when you run into issues you'll have a better understanding of whats going on, and maybe...just maybe...
Fix it on your own!!:thumbup:
Good luck and post back!!

Did ya read through the thread first?

Which card got encypted?
You have more than one.

No I didn't I have a bad habit of jumping into things head first I only have 1 card it a 64GB SanDisk so should I try rerooting it with Kies removed
Well on the toolkit thread it does say to remove kies before using.
So you are stock rooted correct?
And your only issue is an encrypted ext sd card
( by ninjas im guessing? ).
Are you sure its encrypted or is it corrupted?
Is your pc telling you this via password request or other dialog?
I know ive read the gs3 have issues with some 64gb cards but not gn2.
Idk
Did you format the card on the phone before you used it?
Edit: you have taken the card out and tried to read it via other means like dif phone, pc, card reader, etc. , right?

Yes I was stock rooted but I unrooted this morning. I'm not totally sure if my card is corrupted or just encrypted my phone does read the card and I can retrieve stuff off of it I haven't taken the card out of my phone and put it in the card reader itself but I hooked my phone to my pc and it reads the card that way I have seen on another thread were a person's card was encrypted and they were able to decrypt it but for some reason I'm not able to do that I'll check out that S3 thread and see if I can figure something out I really appreciate you offering me help my last phone I rooted was an HTC inspire so I'm not totally stupid just a little bit ha ha
my galaxy note 2 is rooted... is it safe to upgrade firmware via kies.. kies detected that i have a 4.1.1 firmware and i should upgrade it to 4.1.2 firmware.. should i click update?
You will lose root if the update is taken. ..
Root and updates don't play well together. ..

If you are on a stock rom and root is all you have and if you have a STOCK recovery you are fine.
As poster above said you will loose root.
Make sure you have a stock recovery.
How do i know if I have stock recovery?
Well .... if you didnt install cwm or twrp then you should be gtg.
Easy to check though.
Just boot into recovery!
Just make sure kies properly recognizes your phone and you should be golden.
Let us know how it goes!

Hi guys i need some help and advice here.
Q1. I have been installing a lot of games and apps mainly from gameloft which eats up a lot of space on my 8gb mem card , i am thinking of getting a 32gb Kingston class 4 mem card . After getting it can i just use a com and transfer everything over by copying and pasting ? Will my games/apps/save data be lost or something?
Q2. Another issue is the internal memory , i only have less than 50mb internal memory left and I am having trouble installing new apps and games. So i am thinking of rooting to clear up the bloatware and to move those apps that cannot be transferred to the sd card on an unrooted device. Any comments/advice?
Thanks in advance!!
Copy paste works well. And yes all your saved game data is on sd.
Root is good, and if remove all crap you free a lot space.

Oh btw do all phones have a locked bootloader when purchased ? Cause most people bought their phones from a carrier but i bought mine from the sony retail store when my Aino broke down and my contract was far from ending. Sorry I am new to all this rooting stuff , though i read up on a lot of guides but i fear they may be outdated. My android version is 2.3.3 btw.
Yes they all locked. With 2.3.3 you can root without opening bootloader, BUT faster and not so painful is unlock your bootloader. After that you can use custom kernel also. with new kernel is gaming to much more funny
Sent from my MT15i using Tapatalk
Hmm i am not sure if i want to unlock my bootloader , it seems far more riskier than just rooting it. All i want is more space to install my apps and games.
It might seem easier now.
But do you want to flash back to an older firmware, root it, do ota to the latest firmware every time a new update comes out?
We (with unlocked bootloader) just flash the new firmware with FlashTool and root it via recovery, a pre-rooted system.img or kernel. At the end that's easier and saves time.

Haha sorry but i am really seeing a lot of stars with all the technical information i am seeing. But i am afraid of unlocking the bootloader cause i am afraid of screwing up my phone. From what i read unlocking the bootloader really deals with the core of your phone and one wrong step can screw/brick it.

Remember that you can also relock your bootloader if you have rooted your phone, then you're safe again.
Deleting bloatware doesn't free space immediately, you also have to move your app to an other part of the internal memory which is normally used for system app only.

F&*king Jesus, it's amazing just how many people have never heard of or know how to use google.
Hi all,
I recently got an Xperia play and so far I love it but I am running out of internal memory (it only has 380mb available for apps etc). I'm relatively new to android so please stick with me!
I read on a forum that you can partition a section of the SD card then use an app called "Link2SD" to use that partition as additional internal memory. As part of this you have to root the phone. I tried this and the software didn't work.
My main question is regarding rooting, is it worth doing? I'd heard that if you root your phone you risk bricking it and also you can't get future software updates. If that's true then I won't get ice cream sandwich in the next update.
So, can anyone advise me on if rooting is a good thing to do and if so, how do I do it? If not, do you know of any good ways to increase the internal memory that don't need rooting? I am already using the App2SD application which helps a bit but not enough as I've already moved all I can to the SD card in normal settings.
Any help would be appreciated!
Thanks!
It's REALLY worth it and you'd be super unlucky to brick or cause any damage by trying to root.
Use superoneclick. Really quick and simple.
Then Link2SD works fine (it needs root to work). You can move all of your apps across stopping the annoying messages about low memory.
Then when you get a bit more brave get titanium backup, backup everything.
Then google safe removal list xperia play xda and get rid of the sony bloatware you don't use. Will be like a new phone my friend. Enjoy your Play!
Thanks mate, I'm still torn if I want to risk it! Would it be OK with future software updates if I did root? How do I use the rooting program you mentioned, download it to my PC then just execute it with the phone plugged in? Sorry for all the questions, I know nothing of the internal workings of android! Thanks
Sent from my R800i using XDA
Superoneclick is a program you run on your PC. Literally one click with your phone connected and you're rooted. There are practically no risks involved at all.
You'll still be able to update OTA if you don't uninstall any stock apps. ICS will be available for FlashTool when it's released anyway so I wouldn't worry about that
Sounds good, I've already got instructions for a program to partition the SD card and for link2sd. I'll give it a go! I'm assuming the stock apps will be the ones not on the safe list? Can I still move games that came preinstalled? Thanks for all your help, it's much appreciated!
Sent from my R800i using XDA
Basically don't uninstall any app that is installed to /system/app if you want OTA
This is irrelevant anyway since ICS won't come OTA. You'll have to use FlashTool or SEUS
hi !
When you are rooted ! uninstall those crap stock app list with Titanium backup (from market),
Warning ! It need root !

Perhaps superoneclick does unroot as well (can't remember and not near a pc. But you don't need to unroot. Keeping root does no harm. If you're thinking about warranties then it's pointless as you'll have missing apps etc when you send it away.. Again though, root does no harm and you can quickly flash a stock xperia rom (they're linked in a thread here and all listed on xperiagamer website) should you need to send the phone for repair

Link2sd needs root access to run. If you remove root you won't be able to use Link2sd anymore

How come ICS won't be coming as an OTA update? I'd read that it was being released in April for the Play?

this low internal memory is so freaking annoying
Hi all,
I think I've finally got all the info I need, just need to make the decision of which way to go now!
I found a hack that you can use to send apps to the SD card without rooting:
http://www.bongizmo.com/blog/moving-all-android-apps-to-sdcard-apps2sd-froyo/
but I'm more nervous of hacking that rooting because at least there is lots of guidance on rooting for novices like myself! What do you reckon? To root or not to root, that is the question!
I was thinking, now that my SD card will be taking the brunt of the apps data etc, is it possible to exchange the 16gb card I got with the phone for a standard 32gb micro sd to expand the capacity? I'm concerned that if I do this, links between the phone and SD card might not work anymore.
Thanks
Can anyone please confirm that superoneclick works with the xperia play, android version 2.3.4? If so, which version? I've downloaded v2[1].3.3 and I'm ready to take the plunge. Thanks

just tried it, i just get "cannot find the path specified" on each line, I'm probably doing something fundamentally wrong! Does it need to be in media transfer mode? Here's what I did:
Downloaded the Zip file and extracted all the files into a folder.
Turned on USB debugging and unknown sources
Connected the phone via USB and skipped the prompt to open the phone folders
Executed the "run me.bat" file
Pressed any button as prompted
What am I doing wrong?
This is my second android device (skyrocket being the first) but that one was easy. All i had to do was "oneclick" which was run a bat file and your rooted. then to get CWM i could use rom manager and i could nandroid/flash/restore/etc
this sgs3 is a little confusing - starting with all the forums. However i hope im in the right forum =)
So out of box SGS3 AT&T - what is the best/easiest way to ROOT and install CWM on it?
for root, i see http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1739426 but it seems many people have problems with that?

it was a little confusing because the forum said "use odin , download here" and there were 5 versions .. wasn't sure which one to use =) then in the 50 pages, like 20% of the people had problems..
in the end, i used 3.0.7 and the newest AT&T image from here...i had problems at first but that was resolved by using a USB port in the back of my computer instead of the front.
i am now rooted =)

My work is the same way. I got an Elago micro-sd card reader to do this. After you have cwm, twrp, etc, you can just download roms, take your micro card out of the device, copy your downloaded rom to the card and re-install.
There is multiple versions. But it should not be difficult to know that of you an AT&T GS3, you don't use the international version or Verizon version.
I do agree that it can be complicated compared to other devices though. But Samsung is a lot better than some companies in this regard. Also, the Nexus devices are something to keep in mind.

I made a big (rookie) mistake rushing through the reading on the Android Revolution HD ROM site.
My device model is SGH-i747 and the ROM I tried to flash was only intended for the international version of the S3 (i9300).
Now my device is hard bricked and I cant seem to find any solutions on recovering my device. Can someone help?
I believe i was running 4.1 before i tried upgrading to 4.3 (my phone hard-bricked once i completed the 4.3 installation) so I'm not sure exactly what image file i will need. Hope you can assist me with that as well.
I appreciate any and all advice.
You were running stock 4.1, loaded the international ROM, then tried to load stock 4.3? Is this correct?
If ypu can link to everything you flashed it would help. First it sounds like you bricked by flashing the wrong rom, but then it sounds like you bricked when updating your firmware.

Yes i bricked the device while installing the Android Revolution HD ROM. Previously in was running the stock 4.1.2 Android system. Sorry but I cannot link the site to the Android Revolution HD ROM but I did notice it was for international versions of the S3 only. My current S3 model is the i-747 At&t.
Hope this was enough information to provide a helpful response. If not you can pm me and I'll share the needed info.

Can you remember if you ever took any ota updates or did you ever update by flashing firmware with Odin? Was the 4.1.2 you were running the official build or was it a ROM?

I had my device rooted with 4.4.4 CM firmware installed. I then flashed Slimkat 4.4 rom for a littlw while. After that I used the unroot process to unroot my device and flashed the stock 4.1 firmware using Kies. After Kies I decided I wanted to root device once more and install Android Revolution HD... I unrooted my device (still on 4.1 here) then began the process of flashing the 4.3 Revolution ROM. After that it died.

Do you by any chance have a link to the debrick image I should use for this process?
Hey I've tried doing the sd card method with a few different debrick files with no avail.
Am I missing something here?
Sometimes it takes several tries with the correct image before it'll work. Sometimes some SD cards just won't work. Are you sure its a genuine card? Sammy cards are very often found to be fakes.
Not saying it is, just a possibility. Try other SD cards too if you can. Even good ones just won't do the job sometimes.

It's a card that I purchased from Wal-Mart, I assume it's legit.
Can you anyway direct me or post links to debrick images that are known to work?
p.s.- by try several times do you mean, Formatting sdcard, using win32 to write debrick image then putting it back into the phone?
If you were on 4.1.2 firmware, the 4.3 image in the op should work. Its been proven before.
Yes. Remake the sdcard. Can't recall if its in this forums op, but I personally used and prefer the Linux method of creating the sdcard. If its not here, go to the thread in the development section in T-Mobiles S3 forums. Its stickied at the top so you can't miss it. It has instructions for using both windows and a Linux LiveCD. Just don't use any Debrick.imgs from there.
As for the card itself, I hope things have gotten better about it, but in the past, faked sdcards have come from places like Walmart, best buy, radio shack, etc. The only way to truly know before buying is to make sure they are an authorized retailer. This means they buy direct from the manufacturer. Otherwise there could be multiple parties between the two which is where the problems occur. If you want to know more about it, there's tons of info and advice all over the net about this stuff. There are tools you can use to determine yours is the real deal, or a cheap knock off too. I can't remember what they are or what you have to look for when using them, but the info is out there.

The SD card is good. I used Mini Tool Partition Wizard to verify that files were being transferred between my computer and the sd card.
Is this method verified to work if you flash an International rom onto a US device ?

Yes its worked for this situation before. Maybe try creating it using Linux. Could also be that SD card just isn't going to work. There's no way to tell which ones will or won't. I've seen high quality class 10 cards fail where a generic class 4 worked. That's not usually the case but it does happen.
How many times are you trying with each image? Just use a known good one from the OP. Back when I did this I probably ended up with close to 15 attempts before it finally worked for me.

Did you ever get this working? Tried last night with an 8 GB SD card because it was all I had, but I'm going to get a 16 GB one today. Trying to use the debrick-SGH-I747U-CUEMJB3.img debrick image and I747UCUEMJB_2024954_REV04_user_low_ship.tar.rar stock ROM.
Is this the way to go? Any advice is really appreciated!

Alright here is a noobish questions for you:
I also own a Note 4 along with this Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2, is there anyway to get the Note 4 Stylus to work on this tab?

Was wondering if there were any root methods out there for the SM-T520 that does not trip the Knox counter. The tablet did not come with Knox software installed, but in download mode I see that there is a Knox counter (currently still 0x0).
Just switched to Samsung 12.2 tablet. Is there a way to boot this tablet from the SD card, in anticipation of flashing other (maybe Cyanogen) updates to it? Any link to an bootable file to be flashed to an SD card would be appreciated. Hopefully, I'd be able to use this to make a backup, too.

OS on SD card

I'd like to be able to boot the tablet from and SD card, rather that have it boot from the operating system.
I'm hoping that the tablet looks to the SD card for an operating system first (many tablets do). If it finds one there, it will boot from it, rather than in the usual away.
This requires an OS that I can burn to the SD card, of course.
I'm wondering if this is possible with a Samsung tablet, and if it is, if you know where I could find a simple recovery that I could write to the SD card. Something like TWRP, or CM (Cyanogen), for example.
TWRP, for example, would allow me to backup the whole tablet to this same SD card, then moving on, I could then flash a new OS, maybe Google Android Lollipop.
Best,
Roger

Can I flash a rom meant for a T-320 on my T-520?
While the effort is appreciated, it is a bit unneeded to have a Q&A thread in the Q&A board. If you are interested in helping, it makes sense to work on threads as they are posted; everything in one thread is begging for an unsearchable mess..
