[ROMS] Updated: 17/08/2013 - Pre-Rooted / Original Stock Odin Packages!

I am currently implementing an alternate method of Rooting which I have found to be successful by means of Pre-Rooting the system.img file. I have previously released Pre-Rooted ROMs for the Galaxy S II and wanted to continue this development for the Galaxy S III.
Why use this Root Method? Well the main reasons are:
- You have a complete Odin Flashable ROM Package.
- No Insecure Kernels are used or required.
- You can flash these packages on Non-Rooted devices
- The Binary Flash Counter will NOT increase when flashing these ROM Packages.
- The Red Exclamation Mark will NOT appear at boot up.
- And finally, you only have to flash one file in Odin and you have a complete firmware including Root Permissions.
What Root Package is used in these ROMs?
- Busybox 1.20.2 (Newer ROMs)
- SuperSU 1.51 (Newer ROMs)
Previously released ROMs may have an older Busybox and SuperSU package installed.
Please Note: This Root Method does not include a Custom Recovery. This is for people who only require Root Permissions. If you do require a Custom Recovery, you will need to flash this yourself separately.

Just UnZip and Flash the '.tar.md5' File in Odin.

Note: If you are coming from a Custom ROM, remember to Wipe Data and Cache Partitions before flashing to avoid Boot Loops.

Great work It would be very good to also put out a release date of the official firmware. Just so we know what is the latest

excellent, i have the same version rom on my orange/EE S3 which means i can finally go ahead and root my device without fear of losing my stock branded firmware.
Just a quick question will a factory reset unroot the device in case i want to send it back ?

do I need to back up efs? new to andorid,thanks
do i need to back up efs? if so, seems root is required. but how can I get it rooted before I install this room ( other root method will change the binary record)
thanks

If you look at changelist, you can see that this is not the latest firmware...

I never said it was latest. As its the only one on there for the time being then it has nowhere else to be except the top of the list!

The ROMS you find here are already rooted. Flash with Odin and enjoy your rooted device!
Sent from my GT-I9305 using Tapatalk 2

Is there any advantage to those of us already rooted and with a red "!" on our screens to flash this rom? Secondly, after flashing this rom, would flashing custom recovery raise the counter and or bring back the "!"?
Thanks.

Just a quick question really...Getting my i9305 on friday, and wondering how much bloat orange put into this firmware?
Cheers

I git mine from t mobile & there's very little from them. The vast majority is the usual Samsung bloatware you even get on unlocked phones. I think as t mobile & orange are sort of the same, you shouldn't expect much bloatware from them specifically

It's practically unbranded as this software is for EE network so everything is non specific towards t-mobile and orange.

Ahh nice, cheers. Will I need to backup my EFS partition after flashing this pre-rooted firmware?

Backup before or after. My roms are stock so you are safe either way.
Sent from my GT-I9305 using Tapatalk 2

Backing up efs folder is always a good idea and with our device you can even backup without root.

So which root method is the safest? I have something called GT-I9305N
This is all stock, did one OTA upgrade when I got the phone yesterday.
Sweden actually has two different 4G/LTE variants depending on operator, one for Telenor/Tele2(2600/900 MHz) and one for Telia (2600/800 MHz), where only LTE frequencies differ. Mine is from Comviq.se(Tele2 with prepaid variant due to I didn't want to change my subscription terms to some thing new&bad)
Any suggetions? THanks!

Hi everyone, I received my new SGS3 I9305 from vodafone (germany) and I'm totally new in android.
I would like to get rid of the vodafone branding so would you recommend me to install this pre-rooted ROM? As I am really new, I would like to ask you something : can I install this ROM on my "Out of the Box" I9305?

You can but the only Rom available here at the moment is the UK EE Rom so it will only have Orange UK and T-Mobile UK APN settings. But this Rom is otherwise unbranded. No Network startup logos.

Ok, but I can change these APN settings with the good ones?

We are already aware. These will be posted to a better download host as quickly as time permits

Okay, but when i saw those i've became surprised as i did not expect that the Tab 4 can get a taste of Sammy's Lollipop

can i use any of these on the 3g variant? (SM T531)

No, due to modem and bootloader differences

I have the SM-T535 LTE XEO version, can i flash the NEE version on it?

Yes mate!

Yay!It works on my tablet but I've lost root.How can I get again root?

You're going to be waiting for months, at least. First they're going to do the other models, which probably won't be until June, at least, and will be ongoing into July and probably August, if not longer. Then they'll slooooooowly start rolling out other regions. The build available now is for the Spain region, so I would be willing to bet the Italian language will be available, if that's your concern. And you don't need root to install these updates.
An example, I have an international model Galaxy S4 Active. The first LP update was released back in January, but they're still rolling out new regions, and even now there's only about 5 or 6 different regions available for a phone that is sold around the world in nearly every region imaginable. Since you especially don't have to worry about any specific carrier, what do you have to lose trying this update out?

New Firmware 5.0 N9005XXUGPOF3 NEE (Nordic Countries)

Hey,
There is a new firmware 5.0 for our Note 3 : N9005XXUGPOF3
CSC : NEE
Anyone has tried it ?

Changelist is lower than the KSA Version
PDA: N9005XXUGPOF3 CSC: N9005NEEGPOF3 CHANGELIST: 4935104 BUILD DATE: 17.06.2015
PDA: N9005XXUGBOEA CSC: N9005OJVGBOE4 CHANGELIST: 5020004 BUILD DATE: 29.05.2015

Yea but it's builed after BOEA (KSA)

Changelist is more important, not the build date!!!
Gesendet von meinem SM-N9005 mit Tapatalk

And this is lower- changelist

I've seen several official roms released with different rom and kernel filesizes and with same changelist.
Highest changelist may not be the latest version of Android, if the required changes are for specific countries only.

I need the Modem and Bootloader from this rom please.

There is a newer one (higher changelist) and is latest Brazilian's one (see screenshot)

I installed the new firmware. N9005XXUGPOF3_N9005NEEGPOF3_NEE
first impression:
* stable
* google applications have been updated to the latest version
I do not care changelog number.
it's just a number and i don't know what criteria is placed.
I watch the build data and this firmware is the latest. ( Build date : Wed, 17 Jun 2015 09:30:11 +0000 )

Do you know if I can downgrade from this rom to Kitkat ?

Does this update get rid of the delay while clearing recent apps? Heard the last Indian update for Exynos units solved the problem (or at least minimised it), so wondering whether this one does that or not.

Unified Daemon bug is still in this Rom... :/

Are you sure about the Unified Daemon bug? I installed the Nordic ROM two days ago, and usage only shows 17KB. Fair enough on the first day battery drain was fast, but it seems to be settling down and has now lasted longer. Pulled it off charge this morning and after four hours of emailing, surfing, and watching a Netflix movie battery is at 90%.
And for devilsdouble , yes it does get rid of the delay clearing recent apps. I found that annoying too.

Exactly. It's pointless to think that Samsung would build something later in time with a lower changelist. The only difference in changelist is different region, or Carrier implementations. XXU (Europe, or EMEA in a way) has most of the attention, i've always noticed changelist number differences with the Americas version (Brazil, and mostly South America) and also the Asian ones (Malaysia, Philippines, Taiwan, Singapore and Honk-Kong). All that means is that Samsung has split this in to three pools of maintenance who seem to merge once in a while.
Basically i think it's useless to compare the changelist from different regions, for the sake of Modem/Baseband/CSC compatibility, i'd always go with the region your phone is made for initially.
EDIT: anyone got a mirror yet?

I've recieved an official update on my Note3, now my baseband /bootloader /pda/ is N9005XXUGPOF3, while the CSC is N9005NEEGPOF3. I live in Italy
The phone is still stable and smooth,but the battery leakage is crazy.
I would like to root the phone and install twrp to put on some custom rom. Does anybody know if and how I can do it?
I was checking about chainfire root method and i have to choose one of those too,
SM-N9005 (International Qualcomm): CF-Auto-Root-hlte-hltexx-smn9005.zip
(only works on 4.4 bootloaders, if you're still on 4.3 use the old version which you can find here:...)
Which is my bootloader version at this time?
Can I use safely the 4.4 bootloader version?
How should i procede to root the phone?

Why starting a new thread when there's already one?

Downloading and installing the APK wouldn't help so save yourself the time and trouble.
AFAIK, the beta program was suppose to end on Dec 15 anyways but even if it's still running, you cannot enroll in it because they reached the maximum number of beta testers.
In addition, the beta only opened for a small number of markets (UK, US, Korea) determined by the specific carrier's firmware (in case of the US SD820 variants) or specific CSC (for example the BTU variant of the SM-G930F)
At the moment the options you have are as follows:
1. The stable route - flash your device to the latest 6.0.1 release from the XSA (Australia) or BTU (UK) using ODIN - these seem to be getting the first rollouts of new versions - and wait for the official 7.x release which should arrive in the next few weeks - note: flashing a different CSC firmware may cause some carrier issues (lower speeds, loss of VoLTE and WiFi calling, etc..)
2. Flash the official ZPK1 (Beta 1) BTU Android 7.0 beta with Odin - it contains Nov 2016 security patches and has some quirks (and same note as before regarding the CSC )
3. Flash an unofficial ZPL3 based rom and trip knox (this may affect your warranty depends where you live) - not sure about CSC selection (I guess it varies by the ROM)

I need to have that firmware on the device to be able to use VOLTE in that network since that does not work with the other stock firmware.
Thanks in advance for any help. I just want to make sure not to brick anything. Hope you can help me out.

International models can generally all flash firmware from different regions as long as they have the same model number.
