[GUIDE] Root / Unlock bootloader / CWM recovery Nandroid & IMEI backup / ROM Flashing
Here is a very extensive yet concise and user-friendly guide for rooting, unlocking the bootloader, setting up Clock Work Mod recovery, performing a nandroid backup, backing up your IMEI data, and flashing a custom ROM.
I'm a Professional Writer and find that many of the more tech-savvy nerds (love you guys) have difficulties effectively communicating technical instructions and how-to guides. I created this full walk-through to help those who don't wish to dedicate hours of research into flashing a custom ROM onto their Samsung Galaxy S III Verizon Wireless (d2vzw) devices.
Please say thank you and leave feedback if you find this guide useful.
Samsung Galaxy S III (Verizon Wireless) d2vzw
1. Root Device
2. Bootloader Unlock
3. CWM Recovery
4. Nandroid Backup
5. IMEI Backup
6. ROM Flashing
Root Device
1. Download Samsung USB Drivers . (http://tinyw.in/Fdozhttp://tinyw.in/Fdoz)
2. Install Samsung USB Drivers.
3. Download the Root 7z file(s). (http://goo.im/devs/invisiblek/i535/Root%20Debug%20FS.7z)
4. Unzip the .7z file to a folder of your choice. If you don't have an Unzipper on your PC download and install WinRAR (http://www.win-rar.com/download.html?&L=0)
5. Plug in the VZW Galaxy SIII via the OEM Micro-USB cable.
6. On the device make sure USB debugging is enabled: Settings > Developer Options > USB Debugging (checked).
7. On the device make sure Unknown Sources is enabled (Settings > Security > Unknown Sources (checked).
8. Make sure no other apps are running on the device (e.g.; Android devices, emulators, tethering programs , etc.).
9. Open the extracted Root Tool folder from step 4.
10. Double-click on RootDebugfs.bat.
11. Type the number 1 and press Enter.
12. Follow the command prompt instructions (pressing any key when prompted and verifying choices with y when necessary). The device will reboot multiple times. Do NOT remove, disconnect, power-off, or touch device during this process. It may take a while.
Now the device should be successfully rooted with SuperUser installed.
Bootloader Unlock
1. Download EZ-Unlock onto the Android OS.
NOTE: At this time (9/25/11) only v1.2 is confirmed to work without problems with the newest OTA Verizon update. Check: http://rootzwiki.com/topic/32456-app-920-ez-unlock-14-easiest-way-to-unlock-your-bootloader/ for different versions than the one available on the Google Play Store. This guide will use EZ-Unlock V1.2 (direct-download: http://www.mediafire.com/?0oa6ylr8wskvr9q.
2. Run the Superuser app one time (installed during the Root Device process).
3. Open EZ-Unlock (Allow Superuser access if prompted).
4. Press the Unlock button.
5. Press Yes to confirm unlocking the bootloader.
You should hear the "That was easy" audio clip if your sound is turned on. The Device Status should now read "Unlocked".
CWM Recovery
1. Download and install EZ-Recovery onto the Android OS (Search the Google Play Store for "EZ-Recovery").
2. Open EZ-Recovery (Allow Superuser access if prompted)
3. Pan over to Recovery.
4. Select the Recovery radio option.
5. Tap the associated drop-down and select CWM 6.0.1.0.
6. Tap the Flash! button.
A pop-up notification should indicate that the CWM flash was successful.
Tapping Reboot Recovery will now allow you to boot into the CWM if you wish to flash custom ROMs, make backups, etc.
Nandroid Backup
1. Boot into CWM recovery (One method to do this is to use the EZ-Recovery option to Reboot Recovery, as mentioned in step 6, above).
2. Select Backup to External SD Card.
3. Process will take a few minutes but once complete you will have the backup stored on your external SD Card. Recommend backing this up somewhere besides your device / SD Card as well.
You now have a full backup (nandroid backup) of you device.
IMEI Backup
1. Download Connectbot from the Google Play store onto the Android OS.
2. Open Connectbot (Allow Superuser access if prompted).
3. Select local from the dropdown menu.
4. Type in a nickname (this is not important).
5. Tap the enter <-- key.
6. Once connected, type "su" and tap the enter <-- key.
7. Tap Allow if prompted to grant Superuser access.
8. Type "dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p11 of=/sdcard/efs.bin" and tap the enter <-- key.
9. Once the process completes you may close Connectbot.
10. Now navigate to your internal SD card (using a file browser).
11. Copy the newly created "efs.bin" file to your external SD card and/or another location for safe keeping.
You now have a backup of your IMEI information.
ROM Flashing
1. Determine which ROM you wish to install (See Section 3 and Section 4 from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1762709).
2. I use the ParanoidAndroid Jelly Bean ROM and have found no problems with it.
3. Download one of the ROMs to your internal SD card (this will be a .zip file).
4. If you choose a CM10/AOSP/AOKP like ParanoidAndroid you should also download to the internal SD card one of the associated Gapps file as found in the thread linked in step one. This file bundles all of the Google Apps and is highly recommended.
5. Using the EZ-Recovery app (see the CWM Recovery section, above) reboot into the CWM Recovery tool.
6. Select wipe data/factory reset to wipe / reset device.
7. Navigate to the advanced menu.
8. Select Wipe Dalvik Cache to wipe the Dalvik Cache.
9. Return to the previous menu screen.
10. Select install zip from sdcard.
11. Select choose zip from sdcard.
12. Navigate to and select the .zip ROM file chosen from step 3, above.
13. Once the process completes the ROM should be successfully installed.
14. If applicable (see step 4, above) repeat steps 10-11 and select the Gapps file to install instead.
You can now reboot the phone and it should load the newly installed ROM.

Wonderful guide! Almost deserves a sticky, but the IMEI backup procedure you listed is incomplete. Bits of EFS data exist on several other partitions that need to be backed up in order to have a complete IMEI backup. You can find more information here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1852255
I implore you to update this wonderfully written guide so that newcomers can backup their IMEI in the fullest manner possible. Simply backing up EFS will result in roaming issues upon restore. This is what I have come to understand though I have no first hand experience. I can say that I feel completely safe having performed the backups listed in the thread I linked.
Thanks again for giving new users a great guide!

Thanks for the feedback! I hadn't realized additional EFS data existed. I'll update the guide with this information.

I believe there is now officially more guides than actual development in this section.

I would have to say though, this is a nice concise, well written guide in layman's terms. Once I get my S3 this is where I'll go. Thanks for this.

i wanted to thank you for making this guide. I have rooted plenty of other phones but something about the GS3 scared me. i think it was all the troubles some people had in the begining. i used your guide to a T, and i am very happy to say that my phone is now running jellybean

Can we get this stickied please? Couldn't find any guides on the first 2 pages earlier today.

so I am having an issue. When I boot into clockwork "Nandroid Backup" isn't even in the list. I followed everything. any ideas?

Without 'reboot nvbackup' your imei advice is incomplete.

Thanks to this post i was able to unbrick, however there are a few steps that i would like to add to make it more clear.
at Step 4: After pressing the power button ten times, you will see that a pop up comes tellinga new hardware found and will ask to locate the drivers, now click continue to automatically update the driver. it will fail and then an option to browse and locate the driver will pop up. Now browse to the folder where you extracted live suit pack and choose the USB driver folder to install the driver. Next it will come up with two pop ups press Yes both the times
Step 6 Download ES File Explorer then open it then press the three dots on bottom then go to settings then root settings and then check all check boxes then go back to main screen of es file explorer
Step 7 is the same
Whilst putting the backup file on the tab create a clockworkmod folder in the root of the tab create another folder called backup and extract the backup file downloaded onto it.

It worked
All the steps work perfectly..I was able to unbrick the device with touch using first Livewire image .. Thanks a ton developer..

Hi,
First of all Thanks alot. With these steps, I was unable to unbrick my tab.
But I have tried to do CWM backup recovery alot. It shows md5 Mismatch everytime. I tried fixing md5 mismatch by different ways availalbe, but none of them works.
Also the FTP link that you have given... it doesnt log you in with the ID and password provided.
Any suggestions on how to make the touch work?
Thanks and regards,
Lalit

It looks like there is an issue with CMW installation. Follow rooting and other steps all over. Restoring backup of 26 should be good enough

I see no one cared to answer the question so here I am with a full solution. This method below is there on other blogs and is the one i used.
Note: I take no responsibility if you brick your phone or something even though its an extremely simple procedure. Excluding the download time and the other stuff this process will take less than 2 minutes. Also, since you are not replacing you rom or something, all your data should remain intact, still please make a backup of all your important stuff. Lets get on with it.
Step 1: First of all download the drivers from the following link, install them on your PC and restart it.
http://www.mobistel.com/wordpress/wp-content/download/Driver.zip
Step 2: Download and extract the Karbonn titanium Rooting Kit.
http://www.4shared.com/zip/nfiO8VUWce/Titanium_S20_Rooting_kit.html
Step 3: Extract the Karbonn T S20 CWM Recovery.zip and the Sp-flashtools.zip.
Step 4: Go to the spflash tools extracted folder and open the "Flashtool.exe" as administrator.
Step 5: After it opens click on the "Load Scatter" option and select the "MTK6582_Android_scatter_emmc.txt".
Step 6: Check the box next to Recovery option among the options that comes after selecting scatter file. Click on the locations tab in the row of "recovery option" which you just selected.
Step 7: After doing the above, click on download.
Step 8: Now switch off your Karbonn Titanium S20 and connect the phone to PC via Data cable with the battery inside
Step 9: Wait till the process is finished and a green color Tick mark appears on the screen of the Sptools.
Step 10: After this remove the data cable, and press (Vol up + Power) Button simultaneously to go into the CWM recovery mode.
Step 11: In CWM recovery mode, select Mount and Storage -> Mount USB storage -> now connect the phone via data cable.
Step 12: Put the "Update-SuperSu.zip" in the Sd card (Do not extract it). Now Disconnect the phone and reboot it in CWM (recovery mode) again.
Step 13: Select the "Install Zip from sd card" -> "Choose Zip from Sd card" -> "Update-binary.zip" on the Sd card and flash it.
Step 14: Reboot. Now you have rooted your karbonn titanium s20 and also installed the CWM on your phone.
Step 15: Profit!
