Thanks OP.

Worked like a charm. The perfect thread for people who just flashed over 4.1.1 JellyBean and want to root.

Hi,
I'm relatively new to rooting and I dont know what to do but the steps and videos that I found on google seems simple enough. I just want to know if this will work on any S3 JB 4.1.1 regardless of the firmware version. My "baseband version" is I9300UBDLI2. I have seen the links that I found on google specifying the root will work on a specific version of 4.1.1 (i.e. 4.1.1 XXDLIH Official Firmware). I just want to make sure so that I wont damage my phone in any way.

hi kicker this is a complete safe way to root your phone i also have galaxy S3 4.1.1 on three uk network.....this rooting works on every baseband but the phone must have jellybean and works only on galaxy S3 Gt-19300 try this method it is totally safe and i am 100% sure this will not damage your phone
TRY IT

Thanks for the reassurance. Im using native jellybean 4.1.1. One last thing, does triagle away still work with 4.1.1?

Hi thank you for that. The problem I have at the mo is that Odin doesn't see my phone when I connect it. I have tried the 3.04 , 1.85 version and have debug clicked in development, tried a different usb port, keys air not no etc but nothing happens.
Phone connects to the pc normally fine.
Thanks

Hey man, cheers for the info... I normally don't have any problems rooting and was rooted before updating to jelly bean, but every time I try it now (have done it a few times) my phone will turn on for maybe 30 - 2 mins and then reboot... so basically unusable.
I don't quite get what's going on, any help would be great
Cheers
Matt

[Q] Who has Bricked their Note 10.1 besides me?

Mine is stuck on the Downloading screen, shows it has progressed all the way. No button pressing combination will change anything. .Not good at all. Used Odin to flash the the same CWM recovery everybody else is using. Looks bad here. I have rooted countless Android devices and this is my first fail. Can somebody give me any advice? I just wrecked my wife's birthday gift...

Hold down the power button to restart it.

No dice. Tried that.

If power button for 15 seconds doesn't work, try volume up (in landscape right side of volume button) + power button for 10 seconds.

Held power button down for two minutes and it woke up. Redownloaded custom recovery and flashed with Odin third time. Still get stock Android recovery. Done trying. Thanks for helping though.

if you are still getting the stock recovery 3e follow these steps :
1. When flashing CWM through odin untick the "Auto Reboot" option within Odin.
2. Flash CWM.
3. When done , press power & volume up ( the one apart from power button ) until the Samsung logo appears, then leave both buttons.
4. CWM will appear.
5. Choose "Reboot System now "
6. You will get a new screen with an option mentioning something like " disable bla bla bla " ( can`t remember the exact words ) , press it & reboot.
7. Now if you get back to pressing power & volume up you will have a permanent CWM.
Then you can install root through CWM.

Please do not open multiple threads with the same topic you already have one with the same topic in Q&A Mod will close this one.

[Q] CWM Don't start

PRE: In the past I've rooted and installed Galaxy S, Galaxy S2, HTC Desire HD without any problem, that's for tell you I'm not a totally "newbie".
I've a really strange problem!
I try to explain me with my litte english.
In the past I have installed in my i9103 android 2.3.6 by Odin 3.07.
All OK but...
After I've try to install CWM because I want do the root.
I've flashed CWM by ODIN.
Flash all "OK"
But when I try the combo button "Vol+ Home Power" NOTHING HAPPEND! The screen stay all "BLACK" and the phone don't "turn on"
Ok I've think... it's not a problem, I stay without root.
Yesterday I've installed ICS Official Firmware (Android 4.0.4 I9103XWLP8)
Flashed by Odin 3.07, ALL OK.
After I've try again to flash the CWMv4.0.0.2_ODIN.tar
Flashed by Odin 3.07... ALL OK, ALL GREEN, the phone boot normally...
OK I try the combination Vol+ Home Power and... nothing happend.
The Screen still all black and the phone don't start.
For restart the phone I need to remove battery.
I do flash it again by Odin of CWM... And the problem persist.
The phone it's work perfectly, but don't boot in recovery.
I can boot in Download.
There is a way to root my phone by odin?
Because I've try to search [Kernel] ardatdat kernel v1.5 [CWM] flashable by Odin, but I don't find it!
Please Help me!!!
I really don't understand.

Welcome to the community!
First, don't flash kernel with Odin. It increases the binary counter.
Can you bootv normally into Android? Did you try any other CWM version (6.0.1.1 or Epsylon3's one)?
If Odin flashing really doesn't work, try Heimdall.
If none of these work, try some exploit-based rooting method (will post them if needed).
Try these and report.

you are able to boot into download mode and not in recovery!
i guess the combination of keys you are using is incorrect or you are doing it wrong way
first press power button, when 'Samsung Galaxy R i9103' screen splashes leave the power button and press home+vol up key simultaneously!
try and revert..

banging my head against the wall here , wasted 2 days reflashing phone
I followed all the guides and searched high and low for a solution to get CWM on my tmobile blaze 4g
I have stock GB , 2.3.6 on my phone
was able to root and have superuser installed
anytime i flash CWM via odin , it says successful and when I try to take out the batt , hold vol up/down and power , i still get the default stock recovery over and over and over again .... about to throw this phone in the garbage
I flashed it the same way it says in instructions , place the cwm file in the pda section , make sure partition isn't selected then hit start
FYI
no i dont have kies running in background , or any other program that would interefere with pc odin
I would seriously appreciate any help
PS. am I trying to get to CWM the wrong way , or ist he default to getting to CWM is holding power/ volume up and down , then inserting battery while usb is connected
