Thanks to dangpzanco for the GREAT IDEA.
I finally got my Rooted GB working here. I can't provide a download link now but I'm going to do it later for sure.
Apparently there was a final signature check that was done somewhere after mounting the cache partition, preventing me from booting with a pure update.zip on top of froyo /system. Thanks to dangpzanco I could bypass it and get root.
Quick Guide (requires froyo, root and Droid2bootstrapper):
1. Download fixed SBF bellow. It's made from the CH leak containing ONLY: CG35.smg (boot) CG47.smg (recovery) CG61.smg (devtree) firmware.hmg (header) RAMDLD.smg (flash updater).
2. Download root_and_recovery.zip and copy it to SD Card.
3. Download full leaked SBF from General Forum (CH, signed) and use MotoAndroidDepacker to extract all images.
4. Copy the CG39.smg to /sdcard/
5. Boot into CWM
6. From CWM open adb shell and use this command: dd if=/sdcard/cg39.sm of=/dev/block/system
7. Still on CWM apply root_and_recovery.zip
8. Still on CWM wiped everything
9. Boot on bootloader and flash fixed SBF
10. Reboot
I actually did the same thing! I read it somewhere in one of the topics. I installed Defy BootMenu instead of CWM. Works great! Right now I've almost removed all the Chinese crap and got the GApps working (from CM7).
I also removed the Blur items for the Chinese SN's. I'll see if I can get Twitter and Facebook working with it.
2nd-init would be nice too actually. Does the method provided in the other thread work with this ROM?
Edit: the instructions were indeed from dangpzanco!
And right now I found a possible bug. My camera doesn't work. Everything is black and stays black. Photo's are take as they should however.
Can you check whether you have the same issue?

Here it works fine. Have you tried to edit /system/build.prop?
Change device from ME722 to A953.
Yes, I changed it to A953...
Maybe I have deleted something that was necessary for the viewfinder... But what xD
Edit: Allright, nevermind. Somehow a reboot fixed it :-D On to the next step
Something bad happened when I tried to apply 2nd-init on this. The phone rebooted just after 2nd M logo not allowing me to get into CWM. Wierd, since CWM should take place before 2nd-init. Will need to raflash froyo and start over. We should find a way to root Gingerbread without CWM to make things faster.
That's odd indeed. I have to say, I think the CWM method of rooting is actually quite easy. For SuperOneClick I need to get my PC/laptop out every time and with the update.zip I can do it as I please.
I really hope you'll succeed wit 2nd-init. If you need help, just shout! Today and tomorrow I have enough time.
I'll make a nandroid of my current setup, so I can continue trying out stuff.

Yeps, it is easy indeed, but to do it I need to SBF froyo before installing GB again. In other words if I mess up the phone I will need to flash 2 versions instead of one. That's why it would be easier to flash just GB.
Hey there, nice I could help.
I think you could copy the /dev/block/system back after rooting and build the SBF with it.

I tried that with froyo but it didn't work.
you can try also this defy leaked gb rooted nandroid backup.
http://www.multiupload.com/SPZ8SIEC60
version 4.5.1-134 multilanguage.
use fixedsbf from new leaked milestone2 rom and milestone2patch from MS2Ginger thread.
In this rom /system/app/kpilogger.apk cause battery drain so delete it after install.
Something is seriously wrong... My backlight never shuts down. It's black, but when it's dark you'll see it's still on!
I actually can't change the brightness from settings. So I did a complete reinstall and the problem persists!
I'm using brightcontrol app now to adjust the brightness, but does anyone else has this issue? Or is it something I did?
r2beta0 can you please upload the nandroid of your system?
I try to get adb in CWM but it didn't recognize it.

My system is messed. I still need to get 2nd-init to work. I'm having a lot of trouble trying to compile my custom version of logwrapper hijack. As I don't have experience in compiling stuff to ARM/Android it is being a pain in the a**. I'd appreciate some help here
Try setting up a QEMU environment with the GB leak kernel's zImage.
Edit: Now we can port CM7!!! Devtree.img is now signed.

And how do I do that?
I tried some ways till this point:
- Installed CodeSourcery G++ Lite toolchain (could compile, but android didn't run)
- Installed NDK and tried some commands I could find on blog posts (no luck)
- Now I just finished setting up an ubuntu 10 VM with all the steps described on developer.android.com. I think I am now able to compile android system, but I don't want to as it will take a LOOONG time.
Do you know how do I build a specific module into android source? For example:
system/core/toolbox
I'm a developer, and have compiled stuff to run on linux/unix many times. But this ARM stuff is way complicated. Writing the code isn't the problem, but compiling is. Lots of flags I haven't seem before, and so on.

I just uncovered this answer by myself.
A 'make toolbox' on root folder seems to work just fine. Now I need a way to define new targets on android build system.
http://and-developers.com/
Has a page just for compiling the kernel from source. (I can't remember the link)
I also got stuck when trying to compile from AOSP... but I think you need to have ALL the files downloaded from source (specially the big prebuilt folder) even if you want to compile a single binary.
Well I'm not sure of anything...
Edit:Now I read what you wrote... so never mind you got it.

Yeps I've made a full repo sync. It took 3 hours and is worth 6GB disk space
Great news! Can't wait to see a true custom ROM working
Just thought I'd share what I've learned: don't mess too much with your build.prop Somehow my modifications were the reason of my backlight not working right and making every app crash that wanted to use a sensor. But it's working again
Hello, just making sure I haven't missed a step or process somewhere. I have the ota stock build of jellybean 4.1.1 on my Verizon galaxy s3.
I've looked through several methods, from different websites, and it will either be for Windows only, or the international s3 or for ics.
So no CASUAL, or anything else that I saw.
Heimdall apparently does not work on the US s3's.
I even tried to root with Odin on Windows, but I had some problems with Odin (when it says it was done, apparently it wasn't done, and I could not get clockwork mod to flash)
I would try it again, but it wasn't on my pc, but a friend's, so it is a pain to schedule a time to get over there. I would much prefer to have all the tools on my person, etc. It helps me to understand the process better.
Also, I heard about cfautoroot, however, I didn't get a chance to fully investigate that method. Any thoughts?
So, am I correct?
Any way to use terminal and adb?
Please let me know if I am wrong, I would love to be!

Hello, thank you! So, this is the new version of Heimdall that I read about that should fix the incompatibility in 1.3.2?
http://www.xda-developers.com/android/heimdall-the-bringer-of-illumiation-enters-a-new-age/
And you have used it, but only on emulated ios? Question...What could happen to my phone?

yes, its 1.4rc1 which supports the sgs3
first thing i'd recommend doing is:
Code:
heimdall print-pit
it's gonna print out your partition table, then reboot your phone, but at least you know you are talking to the phone properly
after that you should have no problem flashing via the rest of the instructions on the cm wiki there
hey, it did this after i double clicked the Heimdall exec file.

This is what happened, again. So i can't type the heimdall Print-pit command that you suggested.
any ideas about how to proceed?
Adam Outler and others are working on getting heimdall as an installer package for osx, and updating Casual we just have to wait.
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda app-developers app
REALLY!? that's totally awesome.
that's great. any progress? like in a week, a month, 2 months, etc?
if i can't get Heimdall working on my own, which I probably can't, i'll just be patient then.
SO... i heard that Casual might work for the Galaxy sIII again?
This is MIUI For the ONE S C2, It is based on bilal_liberty's CM10 Rom so expect similar performance and bugs. You will be running Android 4.1.2 With MIUI For Jelly Bean. It is currently not tested so make a full backup before you flash it, also do a logcat and post it if you can so we fix the issue if you have one.
Notice - This Rom has currently not been tested so use at your own risk, this is why it is labelled TEST.
Download - Soon
How To - To install this ROM just follow the usual way, Back up, Flash Rom, Clear Cache and everything and then boot.img.
V1.3 - Flashes, Boots but force closes and not stable, will release soon.
V1.2 - Re worked Port added, Not sure if issue has been fixed, you tell me.
V1.1 Test - Flashable .ZIP available but issues with flashing.
V1 Test - Launch

BTW this is how im trying to port it if anyone else wants a go - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1994503
For making flashable zip just select meta-inf folder system folder and boot.img and add them archieve, there is nothing extra to do.

Is old hboot 2.09 supported ?
can we flash this over 4.0.3 or do we need 4.0.4 as base ?
Paint in more detail information on ROM.
From what device port that was done, lay out screenshots, competently issue a post, write the detailed instruction. That works that doesn't work.

Awesome mate, doing edits tonight will upload later.
Hello all,
since we have unofficial nightlies but we don't have any tutorial how can we build our own package, I've decided to make one.
ATTENTION: I am not responsible for any damage you may cause to your phone. I MAY be wrong on this guide.
This guide is useful for those who:
1.) Want to learn building basics and get a bit into android development
2.) Don't like waiting for another nightly (I assume not, they come quite often)
3.) Want to contribute to our community by making custom ROMs
Prerequisites
1.) Linux computer 64-bit (I will use Ubuntu as example)
2.) Reasonable hardware (at least 4 GB RAM)
3.) At least 50 GB of free space on disc
4.) Reliable internet connection
5.) Patience and a bit of intelligence :good:
Instructions
1.) Follow this guide up to "Initialize the CyanogenMod source repository" step (don't execute this step).
What it does? This will prepare all the build packages and set build environment.
Yes, I'm aware that it is for Xperia T, but this part is pretty much the same.
2.) In the command window type
Code:
cd ~/android/system/
repo init -u git://github.com/CyanogenMod/android.git -b cm-12.1
What it does? This will initialize empty repository in /android/system directory.
3.) Add local manifest for flamingo device
Code:
mkdir -p ~/android/system/.repo/local_manifests
Copy sony.xml (in zip atteched down the thread) to the directory above
What it does? This step assures you'll download device-specific repositories.
4.) Download the source code
Code:
repo sync
What it does? This will download every single repository of CM12.1 (about 20 GB), takes long time, depending on your internet.
5.) Hack to compile sepolicy properly
Code:
cd external/sepolicy
git revert 79ff523ac99b339914ccaa754e068072d64da542
What it does? This reverts a commit causing a build error with our (not only our) device.
6.) Setup the build environment & prepare the device-specific code.
Code:
cd ~/android/system
. build/envsetup.sh
breakfast flamingo
What it does? This magic command sets up all needed commands and makefiles for build. See this page.
7.) Build
Code:
brunch flamingo
What it does? Simple - builds the CM. Speed depends on your hardware. Don't expect less than three hours for the first time.
Zip with kernel is ready in out/target/product/flamingo ready to install, congratulations :good:
If you have any questions, suggestions, errors, feel free to ask.

I'll not judge anyone if he's rich or poor, I just don't have the possibility to install linux on my computer (already running 2 versions of windows and a smartlaunch on linux), that why I'll reward people working on a ROM for E3 with money (only thing that interrest most people...)

I know people just can,t use fastboot easily so i made a tool try it.http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=58432130&postcount=29 and make sure you have all drivers installed before proceeding.

HI, FXP-cm-12-20150105flamingo.zip is the latest release from FXP. I downloaded this file and placed it on the internal sd card.
I then booted into recovery and selected install from zip, but every time I do that, the recovery says 'Installation aborted'
this device is leo.
Error in storage/sdcard1/FXP-cm-12-20150105flamingo.zip
(Status 7)
Does anyone hear know if this rom should flash ok, or am I doing something wrong, or
am I on the wrong forum to get this answered - if so which forum should I be in.....
Thanks for any help

Hi, thanks for replying..
Anyway, I know this can be done but, there is no update script in the zip - FXP-cm-12-20150105flamingo.zip.
Do you know why that is.
Thanks
Here it is.
It took me about an hour to download it so I figured I'd upload it for those of you who don't want to wait/want to play around with the files.

I just finished downloading and uploaded it to my google drive because I don't have dev status on ADF yet.
Here it is.
I haven't been able to install it yet because I have to re-flash the OA2 firmware before it will install.

Needed to request access, but thanks for bringing this to my attention. Where'd you see the NU had a LP update, I'm not seeing it on any of the usual websites?

Thanks got it you're the man! :good:
Crap I got a corrupted download on two different computers, error message: "C:\Users\MyName\Downloads\update.zip: Unexpected end of archive" and the zip only has a META-INF folder, and what I assume is supposed to be the updater-script is named, "androà+g" and contains only the following:
Code:
post-build=samsung/matissewifiue/matissewifiue:5.0.2/LRX22G/T530NUUEU1BOE5:user/release-keys
post-timestamp=1431596177
pre-build=samsung/matissewifiue/matissewifiue:4.4.2/KOT49H/T530NUUEU1AOA2:user/release-keys
pre-device=matissewifiue
Although it is nice to know the build number lol (OE5).

Thats.. odd..
The file I uploaded is the same file I used to update.
I just got done installing it after doing it the long way because I didnt want to wait another 1hr+ for it to redownload.
Here's my "long ass method"
1. I reflashed OA2
2. Flashed the rootable kernel
3. Towel rooted
4. Used a ES File Explorer to copy the update.zip from my sd card to data/fota
5. Flashed the OA2 kernel
6. Installed SuperSU, didnt let it update the binary, then used the Full Unroot option
7. Rebooted and it informed me that it had the update ready to install when I checked for updates again.
You may just have to deal with the forever long download.
EDIT: Although I just tried to open the original update.zip on my computer and it gives me errors too saying it can't open it, it's not a valid archive file, blah blah, etc. It may flash if you do my method tho. The worst that could happen is it would fail mid-update.
Oh and fyi, as expected, the TWRP root method works.

This is what I suspected/was afraid of. Thanks for the response, and listing your steps, I figured something like this was the scenario, now I know for sure. Oh well, I'll just have to wait to do the update when I actually have some free time :silly:
Also thank you very much for confirming TWRP root method works, that'll make my life a lot easier, and I'm sure a flood of users will be glad to learn that soon
It is odd that the build number is OE5 cus if I'm not mistaken, that's the highest build number of any of Samsung's tablets right now. Even the Tab S. lol. I guess it was worth the few weeks we had to wait.
