Hi,
I had recently flashed ics stock firmware onto my skyrocket(from this link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1652398). When I booted it, I saw that my superuser was still there even when it was not. I was wondering if rooting it again might brick my phone.
Thanks
Daniel

Rooting again is fine.

Please someone help. I bought a rooted captivate. It has ucji6. I cannot install any apks i have on my sd. Its saying cannot install non market apps. Also the att bloatware is there still. I put a rom on my sd and tried installing using rom manager and its not working. I just rooted my wifes captivate using the one click method and installed a rom following the method they show and no problems. Please help i want the same rom she has.
flash to stock using odin, then flash the custom rom
btw, you will get more responses if you post in the captivate section
thanks
Thank you so much. I will give this a shot and like an idiot realized i should of posted in the captivate section after the fact. I really appreciate your help. I will let ya know how this went.
Hey Guys,
I currently have this phone and have installed the 4.0.4 ICS update from Bell. However, I just realized that I am not able to install CWM on this 4.0.4 which is very disappointing. I tried to follow the rooting procedure but I kept encountering stock boot which does now allow me to install ZIP for root/super user. One of my buddy told me that I have to downgrade. Can anybody confirm that. It seems like all the rooting procedures are only for gingerbread 2.3.4-2.3.6. If anybody can help me, much appreciated. Thx in advance
It will not work (someone correct me if im wrong) because you have the HD LTE version and this forum is for just the LTE version.

But the skyrocket is basically the HD LTE without the HD screen, these two devices are crosslisted and always mentioned in the same discussions.
Not sure if the same applies to SR HD but I would lean towrd it's similar ...
Use ODIN to flash CWM recovery (use .tar format NOT .img = search the development section "sk8.... recovery")..Check only auto reboot in ODIN and click PDA tab and point the browser toward the .tar recovery then click start ... It will reboot automatically ...
Reboot again into recovery and install the zip for rooting , reboot , open SU and update as it asks you , you're done
See Vincom's thread about all that....It's sticky in SR forums development ..
Hit Thanks if I helped you , an idiot was bragging on me on how many thanks he has compaired to his posts count forgetting that , unfortunately ,too many douches are here on the forums like himself(he has a sig like McDonald's billboard on the interstate saying "Hit thanks button" ...

you just need to downgrade back to the stock GB rom and then load the cwm and it will work perfectly, thats what happen to me this morning.
Maybe I need to refrain responding here for SGH-i757m, but please refer the the following thread.

Hi XDA Devolopers,
I can imagine this thread comming by daily. I've tried to search for it, but all I get is something that, to me is, "Hocus pocus". Clearly I am probably one of the least technical people found on this forum, but still I've got a question, and it'd be awesome if you could help me.
As I said: I am unknown with the whole Rooting thing. I have no idea where to begin. All I have done so far is making my decision on which ROM i'd like to use. Which is the JB 4.1.1 AOSP build #6.0.0 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1779133)
I've downloaded all the files, but I have not a clue what to do with that. I've read that you must first unlock and/or root an android device, make a backup and then flash and install the ROM.
Where do I start with this? What program do I use to Root my tablet and how do I go on from there?
Thank you guys so much in advance! It really looks like an awesome community, and I really don't want to mess with that, but help would be greatly appreciated.
search for PERI tool to root and install recovery, then flash the ROM u want through recovery.
Do like catfishbilly say and use PERI.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1681155
Just read read and read, don't rush. good luck.
PERI is the way to go, although everything needs a lot of reading, I was only reading threads for close to a month before rooting and installing ROMs.
Good luck.

Hey all,
I've looked through threads here and I'm just overwhelmed. I had my S3 rooted on 4.1.2 but Verizon kept coming up with these updates that I could either defer for 5 days or...update. When I chose update, it took me back to TeamWin. So I redid a fresh format from the TeamWin screen (I really don't mind rebuilding my phone and contacts) and I was able to update to 4.2.2 after that but but I'm still getting that Verizon update warning.
First of all, how do re-root my phone with 4.2.2? I thought TeamWin would disappear but it didn't. So I went back to that screen and went to Download. Now I'm on a screen with the Android robot that says "Downhloading... Do not turn off target !!"
I'm not sure what it's downloading.
I'm sorry if this is in the wrong section. I would be fine with a moderating moving it.
Thanks a lot!
First, this is T-Mobiles forum, you want Verizons.
Second, if twrp is still installed all you need to do is flash the SuperSU or superuser zip you can find eith a quick search.
Third, that is download mode. Only for use with Odin.
Fourth, considering you don't know these things, I suggest you read up on some of the many guides you can find here on xda.

I highly suggest you do quite a bit of reading before you start messing with rooting and flashing roms. You could very easily brick your phone if you don't know what you're doing or if you flash a file that isn't meant for your phone.

Also it is VERY important you be in the correct device forum. There are 5 S3 forums.
Moved to Verizon S3 Q&A
Verizon does not have an official 4.2.2. We are still on 4.1.2 MF1 as the official. If you have 4.2.2 it is from a rom you have flashed.
Sent from my GT-P5113 using xda premium
Only the S4 have Touchwiz 4.2.2 so we will assume that you are talking about AOSP roms as they are 4.2.2. Please be clear in your post so we can help you. Now to teach you about download mode it's there for you to flash stock Touchwiz back to your device via a software called Odin. Now what you just ask about (download mode) you could have Google searched it yourself and got your answers faster.
Hey all just made my first XDA account, I've heard amazing thing about this site. I'm posting here in hopes to get directed to a place where some people could help me with rooting and putting a custom rom on my Sprint S3 (SPH-L710). It was previously rooted and had a jellybean LS rom on it (Not Done by me) But due to a soft brick i flashed it back to stock with the stock tar (thanks to CNexus for supplying that) This left me unrooted and without my Liquidsmooth rom, since i wasn't the one doing the original rooting and so i have little to no knowledge of how to root or install a custom rom on my phone. I was told by my brother (He rooted it and put the rom on it) how to flash it back to stock using odin. but as far as that i have no idea how to root or put a rom on a phone, i've been told you can root using odin but from many people they've only told me it can be done with ToolKit, which i have absolutely no idea how to use.
