i have a sg3 unlocked and rooted and my girl decided she wants her atrix 2 rooted. im not even going to bother with unlocking the bootloader as from what i read, its a pain in the ass. so im just wanting to debloat and hopefully put her on a nice rom and she likes the look of lithium. i read where it has some OC potential and was wondering if it was going to try and flash a kernel....
so can i flash this without an unlocked bootloader?

The ATRIX 2's bootloader IS locked, and to date there is no known way of unlocking it. That being said, you (or your girlfriend, or both) are stuck with the stock Moto kernel. As far as Lithium v1.3.1, its a very nice rom. However, there are several very nice roms available to the ATRIX 2 -you'll just have to peruse the thread posts for each in the development section to see which one works for what you want. Also, most, if not all roms are already running the init.d supported 00pptimize for overclock, as well as partially or fully de-bloated. Many, have been updated to run at either 1.1GHz or 1.2GHz, but you can always raise that with some careful editing, patience, and extensive testing. You cannot flash a kernel because, as mentioned before, the bootloader on the ATRIX 2 is locked. You can still flash custom roms, but you need to do a little leg work to get the appropriate measure in place first. Start by reading The Beginner's Guide for most all your preemptive knowledge with the ATRIX 2. This will show you rooting methods used, as well as our custom recovery (CWM). Once you have that, you should should be in good standings to move forward from there to get what you are looking for with the phone...
i appreciate the feedback. I havent had to face a locked bootloader so i was wondering but already knew i couldnt flash a kernal over it. Ive got bootstrap to get into recovery pretty knowledgeable android and the Root/flash/bootloader deal but this phone seems to be a pain compared to what im usually working with.
she doesnt need to be oc'd but just wants a new look... so ill give her this until she whines later about another one and how to do it.... or how i should do it.
thanks again.

So for a while now, while anticipating getting my hands on a Nexus S of my own, I've been lurking in the forums and reading up on various things. I know for sure that I will be flashing custom ROMS and rooting my device. However, as this is my first android ever, do you guys think I should flash roms on it right away or should I stick with stock android and learn the OS first.
I was thinking that I wouldn't be able to appreciate the tweaks/improvements that are found in various custom ROMS if I didn't have experience with vanilla android. I am interested in hearing your opinions.
One other thing I was very confused about was whether or not you could flash custom roms/kernels without actually unlocking the Bootloader. I have read and read and the answer seems to be yes, but from my understanding it only works if your not on 2.3.3? (Sorry if this question has been answered time and time again, but the amount of information on this forum has been mindblowing, and I get more and more confused as I read on.)
it depends on the phone really. for the bootloader lock but usually yes for any rom changes you need to install a custom recovery and that requires bootloader access
Personally, I find one day is enough to find out all about the stock ROM.
If the phone you get is already running 2.3.3, then I'm unsure whether you can simply flash an older bootloader and root/flash custom ROMs without unlocking. If you get a phone running < 2.3.3, then you are in luck. Currently I'm running CM7 with the bootloader still locked.
yeah you'll get the hang of using the stock rom in no time. The Nexus S is my first android phone and everything has been so easy...i've flashed roms, unlocked the bootloader, rooted, flashed kernels and recovered using the nandroid backups. All so so so easy.
Alright, well today I finally decided to make the switch from the Atrix to a Skyrocket. I heavily modded the atrix and I'm used to having absolutely no freedom with my phone, so I have to hack my way through everything. With a bit or trial and error, I succeded. Anyway, to avoid soft-bricking my phone in less than 12 hours, I want to know everything I need to do in order to flash ROMs, kernals, and all that other good stuff. So far, all I've done s root and flash CWM. Am I done?
Thanks. Oh and before I leave, has anyone tested out that 1.89ghz OC kernal?
Hello fellow atrix user. I to came from the atrix . But have had samsung galaxy then sgs2 now sgs2 skyrocket. You rooted and installed cwm so your done. You can flash roms and kernels with cwm totally different world.then that pita atrix. For now best bet is to stay on stock rooted. People were havong some problems with alien rom. I have used the oc kernel. Up to 1.83ghz and got over 4200 quadrant with that ( not that quadrant really matters) but my phone did heat up alot while over clocking, and anything over 1.83 i got instant shutdown so i flashed stock rooted back. And im happy with it. And with sammy odin is your friend if u run into problems keep this thread handy it has easy to use directions how to odin back to stock and how to use odin to flash the tar and fix a soft brick http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1342348
Perfect! thats exactly what I needed... a heck of a lot easier to do too! And i've already done my research for the crash course I take it the TAR/ODIN stuff is the Skyrockets equivalent of RSD Lite? Looks easy (enough) to use and I have everything I need incase something bad happens. Anyway thanks again for the help! I guess I'll wait it out before flashing alien. Oh and one more question (yeah I do that a lot), whenever I flashed themes on my atrix, it NEVER worked, but I never found out what was wrong with it. Is there anything special I need to do aside from rooting/CWM? Or once I have that, I have the power to do ANYTHING posted in the dev section (that applies to my phone model and all that)?
Nothing special you need to do after root and recovery. But some themes cause problems on some roms as im sure you know. Some work some dont .
Hey fellas, I got my Verizon GS3 last Thursday knowing that it had a locked bootloader but was hoping someone would figure out how to get root. Now I see that it has been rooted but is it "completely" rooted? What I mean is, can I overclock it, flash kernals, custom roms, wifi tether? Does it have the same capabilities of all three of the other US carriers' GS3s? Is Cyanogenmod developing CM9 for it yet? I was reading somewhere that you can root it just like any other version but it's just a bigger pain in the ass. I just want to make sure that my Verizon GS3 can be completely rooted so I can do everything I did with my old Droid. Should I just take it back and go with the Sprint version of the GS3? Im sorry if some of these are "noob" questions but I just want to figure out what I should do. Any help would be much appreciated!
Rooting and the other things you spoke of are not the same thing.
Rooting = The ability to write to the system partition, while booted into android. This allows you to delete system files (such as bloatware).
Locked Boot Loader = You will not be able to flash custom files (unsigned) to the phone from Odin. This means no clockwork recovery, roms, kernels ect....
There are ways around some of the locked boot loader stuff on some phones (ex. droid 2 got a special recovery through months of dev work. This did not cicrumvent the locked boot loader, but allowed away around it). This type of recovery (2nd init) is not avalible for Samsung phones.
If you want roms and all access, I would go with the dev unit samsung is selling for verizon. However, there still may not be much for the VZW gs3 because they wont sell tons of the dev units at $600 a pop.
The Verizon S3 already has root, roms and kernels up and working and some really good devs trying to crack it. I have a VG3 and it was rooted in less than a day and I'm having no issues. It's a great phone but the locked bootloader may cause issue in the future.
If I knew that samsung was going to release a dev version I may not have pre-ordered my S3 but I"m still happy with my purchase so far. What I find amusing is the price stated on the dev phone right now is cheaper than buying the phone outright from big V right now. We will see what the price really is when the phone is made available.

Not true.
Touchwiz based custom roms are entirely possible and it has already been shown custom kernels work using kexec. Yeah it's not as good as an unlocked bootloader but we have our work arounds until these crazy smart devs figure out how to bypass the locked bootloader.

Thanks for the reply man! The dev phone just may be an option but I really don't feel like forking over $600 when I can go to Sprint on a cheaper plan and have an unlocked bootloader....either way, I have 10 more days to return my phone and cancel my contract if I need to. And btw, I sent a long email to Verizon asking them if they will ever unlock the bootloader ( I read an article saying they may, then today read a article saying they wont. We'll see.) I also said that I may just cancel my contract and go to Sprint and ask them how they can "help" relieve this situation that alot of people are facing. I'll report back and let everyone know what their response is.

There's some erroneous replies so far, hopefully this will clear it up for you. Root or superuser, is a linux term, which basically provides you with admin rights. With root alone you can run WiFi tether, rename system apps, etc. Root is easily attainable on the Verizon S3, see the dev section for guides.
The S3 recovery partition is NOT signed. This allows us to install custom recoveries (i.e. ClockworkMod, TWRP, etc.) This is very different from say, a Moto phone that had to use bootstrap methods. The S3 can have a fully functioning recovery that will allow you to do backups, flash ROMs and Kernels, etc. Again, very easy to do, see dev section for guides (it's grouped with root).
What's currently being worked on is the "locked" bootloader. Basically we can write whatever we want to the various partitions, however, there is a security check being done that prevents altering various areas, like the boot.img. Right now there is a workaround where custom Kernels are flashed via the recovery partition (see recovery/kexec threads for more info).
There is no official CM9 or CM10 builds yet, but they are being worked on and there are bootable versions of both. Right now the RIL is the bigger issue as it's preventing data but that has nothing to do with the bootloader. The RIL is being worked on, no ETA.
tl;dr - The bootloader is still "locked" but there are already various workaround methods in place to allow for the flashing of custom recoveries, ROMs, Kernels, etc. Reading the guides in the dev section would be a great place to start understanding what's going on better.

This explains things alot better for me Thank you!!!. Im coming from a OG Droid that I rooted as soon as I got it so its been a while since I've been on the scene. I've kept up with the OG Droid Development for quite some time (which is basically nonexistent) so Im somewhat familiar with rooting and such just not familiar with this lock bootloader and such on my S3. Anyways, I still may just go to Sprint but havent made my mind up yet. And THANKS again for the very knowledgeable answer!
Hi, I have a Galaxy S2 LTE with Rogers - i727r (apparently it's called the Skyrocket in the USA) I really want to update it but I've been reading a lot of complaints about the ICS for this phone. Should I update or should I just root it? And if I should root it, which rom DOES NOT drain battery life and DOES NOT use up too much of my ram?
Thanks!
I have tried many roms... They are pros and cons to each and every one of them. But yet they are all outstanding. You probably don't wanna hear this, Flash a few and try them out. But you have to make the decision first to root...because without root, you're not flashing anything .
U don't actually have to root. Since Samsung was kind enough to leave the boot loader unlocked just flash a different recovery. U also have the added benefit with this method of no flash counter increase.
As for ics, I highly recommend skyics to get u started, and cm9 if ur feeling adventurous

you just need to install a custom recovery such as cwm or twrp, no root required.

First Post
I searched through the Galaxy S3 Forum and can't seem to find any current information and guide that would walk me through overclocking my phone. I want to be able to tweak voltage and overclock my phone to the 1.7-1.89 ghz area. I'm aware my mileage may vary on this but my real challenge is finding a current guide that will actually work.
Model: SCH-1535
Okay so a little background and information
I bought my phone on Black Friday and it came with ICS. Shortly after I updated to Jelly bean 4.1.1, then and now I have 4.1.2.
I have rooted my phone and installed pacman rom, via the following guide/s
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6-tQ05Zo_9U (How I rooted)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2028443 (How I installed PacMan Rom)
My next goal was to overclock my phone.
I tried following this guide, but ended up soft bricking my phone
So I freaked like a noob would freak, However I'm proud that I kept a cool head because I eventually found a guide that got me back to stock
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1840030 (How I un-softbricked)
So I re-rooted my phone via the first link I provided and decided to stay back on my stock OS since I missed many of the features and samsung stuff I liked.
Just FYI, I never backed up my original OS as when I un-softbricked I had to find a stock OS online and it looks like I found a very early build of ICS but anyway I'm updated back to 4.1.2 JB and I am successfully rooted, Titanium backup says I'm completely rooted and I have superuser in a few apps I use.
My ultimate goal is to overclock my phone maximum and set a lower voltage minimum to help battery life as well. Everything I find on this seems to be dated back to June 2012 or July 2012 when the phone released and seems outdated and to not work on the newer JB updates out there. I think this needs to be revisited and a current process that is known-working be made forum knowledge.
So again, my first post, Thanks for reading, Hopefully someone can help. Hopefully the replies on this thread help many people out there seeking the same knowledge on their uber hard Verizon GS3 with it's locked bootloader.
Ahead of time Disclaimer, I do not hold anyone responsible with what happens to my phone if they give me advice to overclock my phone in good faith and something goes wrong. I take full responsibility for taking the risk with my device.
Thanks in advance
Just throwing this out there, I honestly didn't bother watching the youtube videos that you linked.
Have you unlocked your bootloader? You are rooted but you can not flash a kernel unless you have unlocked your bootloader. Otherwise you will be softbricked and need to use Odin to recover. Use the guide by open1your1eyes titled "[GUIDE] Root for Jelly Bean 4.1.1 or 4.1.2 OTA ***UPDATED 3/5***" if you still need to do so.
Once you've have unlocked your bootloader, there are a number of kernels to use depending on if you're going to stick with your stock rooted TW rom or AOSP. Find a kernel you like, flash it, then you can adjust your voltages and/or CPU speeds with apps like System Tuner, SetCPU, Trickster Mod, etc.
Voltages, are tricky depending on the type of cpu you have. You can check the type of CPU you have by following these steps here. Make sure to read the link included which directs you to post #1341 by Imoseyon on the cpu differences.

Overclocking is a lot easier as the previously mentioned apps can do that as long as the custom kernel supports it. As for undervolting some custom kernels are already undervolted by default. There is also this for the KT kernel: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2144004

Thanks for your reply, those are the steps that I've actually followed to get rooted, the youtube video I linked linked to that specific thread and that's the steps I took to root my device
So, I apologize but I'm completely new to rooting and flashing custom roms and things to your smartphone, my last two phones were blackberries so I'm now on my first of many droids to come (dont like iphone). This question will sound stupid of me but is flashing clockwork mod and then flashing the BRBMB1 bootchain unlocking my bootloader? If so I've done this already. The current steps out there don't seem to work for me.
I dont understand the terminology of some of these thing but I can follow a guide well. So far I've tried flashing the INvisblek v2 Kernel through EZ-Recovery and it really messed me up. I can double check my methodology. I'm wondering if maybe I just had a bad flash and maybe it will work if I do it again, but I'm hoping someone who has recently gone through this can share what they did to get it working on Verizon GS3 SCH-1535 because verizon sure does go out of it's way to prevent tampering

Are both of those Kernels for overclocking? It looks like your second link seems to allow voltage tweaks, funny thing is before I started this thread I saw that thread but it didn't say anything about overclocking so to a noob like me what does kernel tweaking mean

Well, first off, EZ-recovery isn't for flashing anything but a custom recovery. You flash kernels with the recovery just like you would with a ROM. It sounds like you're unlocked, and should be good to go.
Another thing to know/understand is that most custom kernels will support over/underclocking and many will support voltage settings. Most won't say they support clock changes because its almost understood for people who've been playing with this stuff for a while.
I will also say one last thing, and that is that you honestly shouldn't have much need to overclock this phone much at all. Its a very snappy devices, and especially if you can find a custom ROM that plays well with you. Overclocking will really more than anything lessen your battery life with the upside of slightly boosted performance (read: borderline negligible). At least in my experience.

This is my first Android device as well and like you my last device was a blackberry. The thing is when overclocking you must undervolt to compensate for the increase in performance as it is a detriment to the battery. The first link I posted also supports overclocking and undervolted as when you're are flashing it you're also flashing it's KT Tweaker app it also allows you to save your oc/uv setup or use the team's own setups that you have downloaded. Also I recommend an app called DS battery saver as it fully utilizes the phone's deep sleep mode. For the aforementioned app I suggest put it in slumberer mode as in 8 hours of off screen time you're only losing 1-5% of battery life.

Thanks for the reply too. I have one more question looking over those links it looks like there's two different types of things mentioned that I'm not clear on, what does AOSP and TW mean. Tw seems to refer to touchwiz. What exactly are those. Also from what you see do these seem compatible with my stock rom rooted SCH 1535? Thanks for all the help thus far.

TW is Touchwiz which is Samsung's UI while AOSP is android before any OEMs messes with it so it is basically stock Android. Since you are on Touchwiz the kernels made for it are your best bet.
So I wanted to update this thread I ended up flashing synergy ROM everything is solved. I'm not sure if this rom comes with a kernel that allows overclocking but after flashing I can overclock up to 1.9 gigahertz Thanks for everyone who gave feedback on this. Now that I have synergy installed I have the best of both worlds all of the Samsung things I like and even custom things that are awesome.
