any of you have this phone? could you give me your opinions?
I have this phone, been using it for about 4 weeks now, when I got it, it was rooted already. It's fast and I don't get any reboots or f.c.'s .even GPS works! Bluetooth,wifi works as well. I installed c.w.m. recovery via MTK droid tools. I'm using gravity box to get tweaks, as far as I know, there are no roms yet, but hopefully that may change.the settings could be better (for phone) I think it's based on touchwiz, and so far I've had no problems. If more people get this phone developers might build some roms for it, but due to xposed , you can tweak the phone very easy. I'm very happy with it.

Hi Guys, I'm sorry if this is answered in full elsewhere but I can't find the answers to my questions in their entirety. For the past number of years I have had iphones and happily jailbreaking, I have just scored myself a shiny new Samsung Galaxy S3 and naturally want to root it. Now I am terrified of bricking it so want to be absolutely sure I am on track as I have never owned an android device before. The phone in question is from T Mobile uk running 4.1.2 baseband l9305BVBLL2 Model Number GT-19305. I will be using an iMac for the process. Any help greatly appreciated.
I just realised the actual question was not raised (trying to multitask), is there specific software that needs to be used with the different hardware for example does it matter if it is a mac with galaxy s3 or pc with galaxy s2 or htc whatever etc. Is it easy to brick during the process, and if you brick it is there anyway out. I'm sorry if these are dumb questions but I need to satisfy myself before proceeding with the root
You need to root using Odin. Go to galaxys3root.com for how to videos and links to tools and ROMs.

Gonna have to disagree on that website. Galaxys2root caused endless problems for people who used that method on our device. I would recommend finding a method here on xda. The s3 will have a thread with stickies to read and many tried and true methods

I think I may have finally done it. I flashed the latest slim rom (vers 6) today, booted into the ROM and set it up. No problems. Then I flashed faux mainline kernel. I followed the instructions for the kernel install, and hit reboot as last step. The phone shut off and did not reboot. I am now unable to turn on, boot into recovery, or download mode. When I attempt to connect to the PC to try and ODIN back to stock, the phone will not connect to the PC. I have the latest Samsung drivers installed and have connected to my PC previously with no problems. I know I downloaded and installed the right version for my phone, I have flashed kernels many times before.
Am I screwed now? I have insurance on the phone, but really would like to get the phone back from the grave if at all possible. Any help offered would be greatly appreciated.
Never heard of the kernel ... Got a link to it???

Going through the history of my browser, it looks like I did a bone head and flashed a Nexus 4 kernel to my VZ GS3. Am I screwed?
Possibly ... Your kernel tells your phone what to do and how to do it ... If you can't get Odin to connect there's a big issues but I've never flashed a wrong kernel so research around a bit for more info ... You can't get into download mode or recovery mode??

Might need to either send it in for JTAG or spend the money to get the insurance replacement

I gave my old phone to a friend and did a factory reset in settings before giving it to him w/o thinking it may cause any problems. It seems as though everything is working for him, but I can't tell if the Rom still has root. I did notice that the Rom splash animation came up and it started the set up process before I gave it to him and left. Could it be possible that the phone is running on a custom Rom after a factory reset but not have root?
That's happened to me as well. I just downloaded busy box and superuser from market and downloaded the updates. Idk why this happens. Ask banangranola, he is wise. Lol

I would like to root my SGT-P5113 that has been upgraded to v4.2.2..I have had problems every since this update....Does the root instructions and files still pertain to this, or do I need a different file, if so, what is it? (I am referring to :http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1657056)
I found this method to be much simpler:

Used this in my 5113 and have had zero issues. Just to clarify, my Tab is a GT-P5113, is yours? The S you have in front I've never seen?

You still can do with the thread instruction to root, what is important is what comes after.
Make sure you flash latest recovery for your devices after rooting, and then you'll happy to use any rom you like!
Thanks, u guys, however, I have another issue..after this update, I am unable to get to my developers option in settings, it keeps force closing...do u all happen to know work around for this?
I just flashed Mahdi Rom 4.4.4.. Everything seemed working at first until I opened up youtube and tried to watch a video. Turns out my accelerometer wasnt working. I tried using different applications to see if the accelerometer was working or not and it wasn't. I made the settings for the accelerometer were on but no luck. I tested the phone some more and realized that NONE of my sensors are working. I did some research and found out that its possible I need to flash the current KitKat Modem/Baseband? I was on a jellybean Rom before flashing Mahdi. Can anyone let me know if this will be safe and if this is what I need to do?

As far as I know, modems can be flashed safely.
