Hello everyone !
So I am new here so please forgive me if this question has already been asked. My samsung s3 SGH-I747M is running the new android 4.3. I was wondering if I can root this at this given moment ? Also for most of the methods I could find online, they all assume that I am running android 4.1.2. Does it matter what os I am when rooting ? Or can I goahead and use the methods for os 4.1.2 despite running 4.3. If not, could someone please direct me to a guide for rooting an s3 SGH-I747M running android 4.3 ? Thanks !

Though the above link talks about i9300, I think u can give it a look. Below is the link where CF-Auto-Root is included for ur model.

Anyway's am just suggesting a link, not that am an expert
I would highly doubt the ROM version matters. This has more to do with much lower-level code, so unless the S3 had significant hardware revisions between i9300 releases, everything is the same.
Do you have a computer with Windows 7 or older?
If s, I would try using CASUAL. You literally plug in the phone and click a button.

This does NOT work on Windows 8 or above.
thanks for all your help guys ! I'll def try it out and let you guys know how it goes.
And I have windows 8 :/

Hi,
to install CWM Recovery and root the tab, you can follow these instructions (point A) : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1722745
Then if you want to install a custom rom, follow these instruction (this is for CyanogenMod 10.1 but I think it is the same way to install other roms) : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2052290

Are you purchasing new ? Or are getting this second hand ? The only reason I ask is because 4.2.1 is not the "stock" software at this time.
Mine came stock with 4.0.4, and I have read that they are now shipping with 4.1.1 installed
The only 4.2.1 version currently out is the custom CyanogenMod 10.1 ROM.
May just be a typo on your original post - but figured I would ask just in case

Change the title of your thread to reflect your question. This will help others in your situation to quickly find and learn from your post, in turn hopefully preventing more 'how do I root/flash' threads.
Hi, I am fairly new to this forum and did the read the noobie section first, so I hope I am abiding by any rules.
Firstly, I have a Samsung Ace Plus S7500 on EE Network running gingerbread. I am fairly good with computers and have had experience in some basic things so I should be able to hold my own with the lingo.
Basically, I want to root my phone and put Jellybean with 'Softkeyz' as my O/S, however I read that a lot of ROM's are faulty or neglect aspects of the phones features, is there a very basic simple O/S that I can have? Perhaps even staying on GB like I am but just adding superuser abilities.
Please help me someone! I can supply more information if needed.. Thanks in advance!

First of all you need to root your Ace Plus and have CWM Recovery installed on your phone.

Thanks very much for answering. Can I ask what the difference is between 10.1 and 10.0? and also what is Google apps for 10.1 and 10.0? Is it just the play store? Or defined apps that work well with this ROM?
Please help!
Thanks!

CM 10.0 is Jellybean 4.1.2 & CM 10.1 is Jellybean 4.2.2
Gapps is a package that contains Play Store and other apps required for Rom. You must flash Gapps after flashing Rom.
Don't just say thanks Hit thanks.
Hello all I am on a sm-n900v Galaxy Note 3 32gb on Stock Android 4.4.2 with towelroot, and I came across this link http://forum.xda-developers.com/xposed/modules/mod-pictures2sd-v1-0-6-makes-camera-t2408880 and I do have some questions my first one is does anyone have an knowledge if this is working on 4.4.2 and do I need to install the rom version for this to work along with the xposed framework or what. Any guidance I can be given would be great about this thank you.
I think it might work, no harm in trying it out and seeing?
Also I think you will get more meaningful replies if you just post your question on that same thread
I will give that a try thank you.
Hi all,
i would like to ask how to install a custom rom onto my samsung galaxy s3 mini and note 8.0. I know there are many guides but i just made a switch from apple and i have no idea what they mean, even the clearest one.. I just want to update these devices to lollipop since they are still on 4.1.2 jelly bean. Omnirom or cyanogen or others, i dont mind, i just want an updated device. Step by step instructions on everything would be perfect thank you!! By the way, i dont have windows, only mac.

Hello everyone,
I'm new to this platform and to be honest a bit overwhelmed. Apologize if this thread is in the wrong section.
I should also mention that I'm not too familiar with technical points.
I own an old Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 (P5110) which claims its Android version 4.2.2 is still the most recent one for this device.
So I'm looking for a way to update to a newer versuon, at least Android 6.
My first question is which Android version you suggest?
Second one, how exactly do I do this (is there a step by step tutorial)?
Third one what are the risks? I read something about data loss and completely broken devices?
Thank you in advance.

Mate, I'm on the same boat. Same tablet, also overwhelmed The only response to your post points to some custom ROM page but the instructions are not detailed. I thought I had to throw my tablet but it seems like it still has some life to breath if I can get it a newer ROM (many apps are not supported anymore with Android 4.2).
I think the first thing to do is root the device but where to start? I'd prefer using linux with adb, etc.
There is a lot of stuff here. Is there anyone that has taken the time to write a detailed step by step guide somewhere?
BTW, my intention is not only to revive the device but to ditch all Google crap apps. In an ideal world, I would have installed a ROM from /e/ Foundation, but they do not support the device so I guess my next best bet is some custom ROM that uses LineageOS?
Hi,
First you need to root your device and install TWRP recovery:
More info here:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/ga...final-root-single-step-twrp-recovery-t3404779
It's an old thread but you'll get the idea.
See this one as well:
https://www.getdroidtips.com/twrp-recovery-samsung-galaxy-tab-2/
You'll need to find the correct version for your model otherwise you'll and up with a nice paperweight.
After this, you'll be able to back up your current ROM and install new ones. Unfortunately, I have a different model of Tab 2 that has no available custom ROM's so I can't say which ROM is better than other. I would read more in the link provided for slim roms.
To get rid of the installed bloatware and even Google apps I used SD Maid. See my thread below with what's left on my tablet (Disclaimer: it's a barebone setup and not all things work so I don't advise going that deep unless you're willing to take the risk of having a bricked tablet. You were warned!):
https://forum.xda-developers.com/ga...recting-samsung-tab-2-10-1-att-i497-t4079993/.
