So I am a huge noob and am not sure what the difference between hard and soft bricked is. But My s3 i747m (rogers) is definetly one of those. Basically I tried to downgrade via odin to android 4.1.2 stock rooted rom since I was having all sorts of problems with 4.3 rooted (knox wouldn't leave superuser alone) And Now I am stuck at the "firmware upgrade encountered an issue" screen. The one where theres a phone connected to a yellow triangle, which is connected to a computer. Is there any way in hell I can fix this? I really need my phone for a work trip tomorrow and have no idea what to do. many thanks to anyone who reads this or can offer a solution. I will happily donate!

Root process is the same, regardless of firmware version.

Hello All,
I just purchased the T-Mobile edition on the Galaxy S III and I ignorantly updated from ICS 4.0.4 to JB 4.1.1.
I want to root my phone. Am I screwed? Please help me I don't want to screw up my phone.
Thanks for any help.
Why would that be ignorant ?
Yes, you can root JB. Even if you couldn't, you could always flash back to ICS if it was that important to you.
Check out the other forums here and ctrl+f "root" - there are guides that will completely walk you through it. I used the root66 root-injected stock ROM to root my phone, it was the first time I'd ever done such a thing and the guide is well-written and goes baby-step by baby-step.

Evil1art has a couple of very solid roms. V7 is ics and my favorite but his jellybean build is very good also.
Hi, I have updated my phone via Kies and now Root has gone. I have Baseband Version I9505XXUAME2 on UK Three network. I tried to re-root it using the moto filed I used to root it when I got the phone. Anyone know why I can't re-root it? Or better yet how to re-root it?
Thanks

You my friend will have a shiny new BRICK if you stick around here in this forum.
This is the Tmobile T999 Galaxy S4 forum and anything you find here will cause
you a lot more harm than good. It looks like you have a Galaxy S4 9505 phone.
Why not go to the correct forum and try to get help there.
The link to the correct forum is: http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=2162
There you can get real help.
Good luck!

I looked but I am unsure of which method to use, as in what is the difference between the CF-auto root and the CASUAL. Also which version of twrp do i use?
I used Casual.
After rooting, install GooManager and have it install TWRP.

just helping the average joe from bricking their phone
Im running a completely stock sprint gs3, it has 4.3 with knox. I want to root so I can then install a new rom. Probably cyanogen mod...but I'm open to suggestions. I know there can be issues with rooting when knox is on the phone. I have searched and found too many conflicting answers and bricking my phone isnt an option. Any help and guidance would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance
