We all know about the S3 version of this phone and how it is not as good as the S4 original. We also know that ROMs and some mods for the S4 do not work on the S3 (including the whole rooting process). I propose that we create another forum section (device) for the S3 model. The dev section is already starting to see worthless S3 threads and it's probably only going to get worse. If there is no way to get S4 ROMs to work on the S3 devices, then it needs it own forum section. At least, this is my idea.

I am a total noob..sry folks but there are so many forums that it only confused me more. I just bought a While Samsung Galacy S2 from Sprint.
Model : SPH-D710
Android version : 2.3.6
Kernel version : 2.6.35.7-SPH-D710.EL29-CL852097
My question should I be looking for information on rooting the phone in the Samsung Galaxy S2 4G.
Also can I get simple instructions on how to root. The couple of stickys on this forum say, you should have root.....
Just want to start from the basics,
1/ how to root the phone
2/ install Odin (or is this used only for rooting)
3/ CWM mentioned everywhere what is the purpose and when do I install
4/ I would also like to try the new ROM's
5/ How, when and what to use to backup the original phone before attempting the above.
Hope this does not sound so stupid, I will continue to browse the forums.
Thanks.
First I wouldn't flash anything from this particular forum as this is strictly for Samsung galaxy s 4g phones NO OTHERS!
FAILING TO HEED THIS WARNING COULD RESULT IN A BRICKED HANDSET!

Hi!
I suggest you ask in your devices Q&A section, found here.....
http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-2-verizon/help
Or perhaps just read the opening posts in some of the ROM threads in the development section and original development sections, here....

I have a straight talk galaxy s3 (sch-s968c) and have no plans to upgrade it. i really like this phone. i got a samsung gear live as a gift and like it as well. after wading through forums for the last two weeks, i have managed to root my phone. now i just need simple directions on how to get the android updated to 4.3 or 4.4. either one is fine for my needs. i tried to follow some forum threads on how to do this, but they are usually too vague for me to accomplish it. help. please.
Hi, thank you for using XDA Assist. The best place to get help is the device's specific forum here, http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s3-att. They are the experts on your device. Your device is a variant of the S3 so you may have to work a little to find the answers you're looking for. But here are some tips:
You can usually find stock firmware for Samsung devices at Samsung-updates.com or sammobile.com. They are flashable in Odin. Always backup first, off your device, before using Odin
There may or may not be a root method for 4.3 or 4.4. Root exploits are generally patched with each new android version. Check in the forum I linked you to.
Don't be afraid to ask questions in the threads you've found. They are the experts. At XDA Assist we have good overall general knowledge but may not have knowledge specific to your device.
Good luck!

I just got this phone in the mail today. Before I got it I looked at all of the root methods and I thought this was a good phone. I don't know how to root the phone and the only method that I know of is by geohot, but it doesn't see my phone as an s4 active. My Android version is 5.0.1 and my build is ucucoc7. Please help me I would like to have root access because I have never had an android phone without root permissions and I want to keep the trend going.

Hi,
Here is a thread from your device section that asks the same question... It should help you,
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s4-active/help/root-s4-active-5-0-1-t3093052
Good luck!
I think the thread that you sent to me was meant for the international variant of the phone. I have the AT&T variant
There is only one section for the active, There's no carrier sub sections. You could ask there if there's a difference though.
Otherwise you could create your own thread in the Q&A section...
