Nothing to see here, I'll wait til the official tool is released by the dev.
Looks like Adam has combined a bunch of the best root & recovery tools into one easy to use package. The DebugFS root is also available separately here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1792342

Worked fine on my GS3. Love having the ability to root, recover, flash stock, and unroot all in one spot.

Ok question then. when I root will I lose all of the data on my phone?

Depends on the root method. If this replaces the rom then yeah you will lose everything, but if you use this method:

then you will not have to change anything and it's pretty straight forward.

I had to do a factory reset on my phone yesterday to troubleshoot another issue, so I can't say 100% but the few changes I made earlier today (wallpaper, lock screen shortcuts, ringtones, installed Pandora) stayed in place. From the script, it just copies files over and then moves them to system partition during next couple boots. It does not wipe data / cache / dalvik like when you load a new ROM.
I don't know about the java tool here but the one Aquila mentioned ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1792342 ) works perfectly.
You won't lose settings or have to clear anything. Its really useful if you're on the VRALG1 firmwares and don't want to revert to LF2 from flashing a rooted ROM.
I downloaded to my pc, then hooked up my gs3 nothing? What an I suppose to do?
Never mind it worked

Should move this Thread to the development section. And let the Devs tell us if this is good or not, Pros and cons.
just noticed that Adam is a dev.but should move to development so it can be seen more!!
This tool works well without loss to data...of course no one but you is responsible if something goes wrong but from what I see it uses the debug method I have used it and obtained root fine

I'm going to go ahead and say it...
Adam posted this in the development thread where they are working on cracking the bootloader. If he wanted the masses to be using it or if it was ready for the masses to use he would have posted it outside of that thread.
I don't know if it was bc of this thread or not, but this got picked up by droid life and he had to take it down off the R&D thread.
Stuff like this shouldn't be reposted outside of that thread until it is ready and the dev who came up with it says it is ok to do so (or just posts it himself).

Use NVFlash to flash CWM. That's all you really need.
And you're probably gonna get bashed for posting in this section, so just make sure you don't do it again.

I'm already rooted! Your misunderstanding my question. I wanna know what local exploit the devs use when writing the rooting software. Is it a buffer overflow? Stack based? Heap based? Integer overflow? What program or process is exploited? I just want tobknow just in case ibwanna have a crack at writing one. Also, I figured this post should go here cuz it is a question for developers not general users.

I don't believe that there is an 'exploit' the lack of root on stock is one thing, root on a custom ROM just is, no security to protect some precious stock ROM with it's 'super secret special' crap. Otherwise unless one of the devs here has compiled a ROM straight from Google source, as opposed to CM source, they are a better authority. And if I wasn't clear enough, this is my opinion, something I am welcome to as a living breathing person, if you don't like what I say and want to try it, try it, see how far you get.

@Волк, I was referring to stock rom. After you flash CWM, you use a root zip file to gain root on your device. I was curious as to how the zip file rooted the stock rom.

first off, mt3g is right, this does not belong in development. just read the sticky at the top if you need a reference.
second, i think rageaginstthecage was not working on the gb 2.3.3 IIRC, and i think it was always just put into roms (even stock-ish ones) outside of the phone. (im most likely horribly wrong here, i never really looked into how root is accomplished)
either way, that link you posted pretty much answers your question

The root zip just contains the necessary files that allow access to /system and any root functions. No exploit. CWM is basically another OS that is meant to modify the primary OS directly.

I know the zip contains the necessarry files. That's obvious lol I'm not asking about CWM. I already know what it is, how it works, what it does. But I am pretty sure there is an exploit! How else is the program going to bypass the security precautions the system uses to prevent the user from accessing the system in the first place. I figured it was the same as a local privilege escalation on a Linux box.
But if rat in the cage doesn't work for GB. Then my question would be what exploit are the devs using when they write the root zip?

Nope, no exploit. Basically all the zip does is add the files required to switch users. The security is simply lack of binaries required to switch to root user.

When you or anyone else does it, the flamethrowers come out and we get another 50 posts of wannabe tough guys talking ****.

Root account is there, just inaccessible normally. If you make a Linux box login to a regular user by default and remove su and sudo, you cannot really access the root account. The zip adds su back. Cwm is an external os that has full access to the all parts of the Android os, allowing for this to be placed in the $PATH. (/system/bin).
The exploit methods find ways to become root (glitch in graphics card driver on sensation) and place the binaries.
Ok,
I'm trying to Unroot my phone and I've looked all around, including outside of XDA and I cannot find a fix. The K0nane method is a no go. Everytime I run it through ODIN it fails, giving me the DL screen of death on my phone. (phone----caution-----computer) I have to reflash the CWM .zip and it works again.
Can someone please PLEASE point me in the direction of a comprehensive unroot method? It would be greatly appreciated.
(yes I've looked, I've searched, I've combed, I cannot find anything that works for my Skyrocket.)
Any idea why Odin method doesn't work? Try the tar from sammy. Try a different version of Odin. Try a different computer or USB slot. Theres no reason it shouldn't work. Maybe reinstall drivers. Have you tried all that? :thumbup:
Sent from my SGH-I727 using Tapatalk 2
Have you Odin'ed the .tar from sammobile.com yet? It will take you back to original 2.3.5 unrooted and 3e recovery. Seems you are comfortable with Odin. Your phone will be unrooted. Make a backup of calls, schedules, messages and etc. With Kies then restore after you flash back to stock. You will have to redownload all of your apps. If you had a nandroid of 2.3.5 you could restore it then use the zergrush exploit to unroot.

Make sure your phone is connected via USB at moment you place the phone into firmware update (download mode) konane tar and Odin should work I hope that this is mistake you are making and that it works out for you mate.
---------- Edit---------
Make sure the phone is hooked up to the computer and then do the same step you would do to place the phone into recovery mode, without the USB cable connected your phone will not go into download mode. Make sure none of the boxes on the top are checked in.

Odds are if it doesn't work for your skyrocket means you are doing it wrong . Odin failing can happen for a variety of reasons. Bad usb cable, not using a Motherboard usb port on PC (if desktop use rear USB ports, don't use any adapters or external USB hubs), not using Download mode. Just to be sure run ODIN as admin. Plenty of references in general and Q&A.

Boy, the devs will go nuts with this phone now.
This is awesome...

I'm still confused on why we have two development sections. Care to explain?

Try invisibleK's CM10 nightly (Version 1920 & above) All that I can find that is not working is NFC & face unlock.

+1 on this. I have no idea as well.
The original development section are for roms made from google source(vanillaOS) original sh1t if u know what i mean.
the regular development forums are just manufacturer(samsungSTOCK) rom+kernel lightly themed and lightly modded.

invisibleK or dhacker's CM10. Both are awesome.

These forums have become quite confusing. Im just waiting it out until the developers make it easy. All the talk of mms and data being wonky and super sleep or something working or not just has me scratching my head...
you could have had JB quite some time ago...was no need to wait for the bootloader to be unlocked...

^ This. Kexec gave us the same capabilities as an unlocked bootloader. The unlocked bootloader just makes things a little safer (still not 100% idiot proof) and could draw outside developers who may have been on the fence due to the bootloader being locked.
I just installed a non-kexec recovery and cm10 from the sticky over in the original development section and am quite happy with it. There were a few hiccups but after a few restarts it seems to have smoothed out.
Just make sure you back up your imei.
Goodluck!
so does this mean once bootloader is unlocked new roms won't have possibility for the lost IMEI issue?
this is the only thing keeping me now from unlocking bootloader

was worried about this too, but just back it up before doing anything very simple in terminal
Backup
su
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p11 of=/sdcard/efs.sbn
If you need to restore
su
dd if=/sdcard/efs.sbn of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p11
reboot
I used ez unlock worked perfect, backed up my IMEI, then used ez recovery to flash cwm, nandroided, wiped cache/dalvik/data, flashed CM10 +Gapps ... yesssss :good::good::good: another 535 freed from the shackles

Using your reply here and the guide here I now have CM10 up and running. Thank you! This is the first time I have used a non-stock rom (I came from a Moto Droid Pro, very unfriendly).
Though, the boot animation says Cyanogenmod 9? wat?
I figured that I might post this to help some people as I see this posted a lot.
Are you one of the ones that tried to install a custom recovery on the MF3 update? Are you facing a never ending boot sequence or device just freezing at boot screen?
Try this to help you get a normal boot so your phone is at least usable. (Note that your factory recovery will no longer work!)
First off, do a battery pull.
After you put the battery back in (make sure it's not plugged up) go into download mode.
Click Cancel instead of continuing into download mode. Chances are your device will boot up normal. I've tried this with a device I own and also tried it on a few others (through PM and chat online).
If this works for you please let me know!
Lol I figured this out in 2 mins of owning the phone.

You should change the title...EXTREMELY misleading...sounds more like a thread for a workaround to install a custom recovery lol

Fine I'll change it. I was just trying to help some folks that post the same things every day that you get mad at and bash around.

Your doing fine...you just got my hopes up lol. But something a little more specific like workaround for failed recovery flash or fix mf3 bootloop or similar

Yeah it'd be good to have this info in a better titled thread than it was...and an even better titled thread than this one.
Maybe: [How To] Unbrick MF3 after (stupidly ignorantly) attempting to install a custom recovery
Anyways, it was first discovered here, as far as I can tell:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2398336
(post 11)
And there's an alternative method too, if that didn't work:

Guys I'd appreciate it if you didn't spam up this topic with nonsense.
The phone is not bricked for one.
It was never publicly announced what to do one these forums that I could find.
Edit: I just read your posted topics and neither one says to do this
The questions are asked every day by people.
This post has potential to stop some messages.
Stop posting here just to get your post count up. If you don't have anything relavent to say then find another topic.
For the guys post above me thanks for adding more ways to help try to do a workaround even though you tried to undermine me here.

If you're stuck in download mode and cannot get to your OS, I think that counts as a brick! Yes, btw, post 11 in the first thread I linked shows the solution which I have been telling others to do...which you did us the favor of making a post about as well. I agree that it's good to make this post, though I think your thread title could be more useful if you edited it.
Also, should this method not work for some people, an alternative method is a good thing to have.
Thanks again and have a nice day! :good:
I seem to be helping folks with the issue I have posted here in many other post. Have also had some PM's about it. Any suggestions on making this more searchable?

I think my suggestion in post #8 is still a good one.
Your current thread title makes it sound like you tried to flash a custom recovery on MF3 and it didn't work. There's no way anyone would read that title and think there's a "How To" guide in it.
Alright maybe that will work.

Lol I found this thread after I figured it out for myself. I was kind of hoping this would lead me into a way to get back my recovery.
This is how I fixed my brick.
Flashed this file in ODIN. Now my phone boots normally. Got it from another thread with a diff issue here on XDA. I tried it and it worked. Wish I could remember where and what the thread was called. I believe it was this thread. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2360859
