[GT-I9305] Australian Samsung Galaxy SIII 4G Root Guide - NOT for other variants

Guide to rooting your Samsung Galaxy SIII 4G - I9305 - Optus firmware
Hi Everyone, so I have been spending the last 3 or 4 days trying to work out how I can gain root access on my I9305.
The only thing I was able to find was horror stories of people bricking their devices...
After a lot of research (and quickly learning how android OS images work!) I was able to generate my own custom rom for the i9305.

Things to note:
THIS IS FOR THE AUSTRALIAN I9305 (OPTUS) SGSIII 4G ONLY! DO NOT FLASH THIS IMAGES TO ANY OTHER DEVICE!!!
I will not be responsible for any damage done to your device or PC(s), flashing custom rom's can be risky, so please be careful!
This will most likely wipe your phone, so make sure you backup first!
This rom is 100% stock, it does not remove any optus apps or branding,
This will NOT give you the yellow triangle at boot

to check these, download MD5summer from www.md5summer.org
How did I do it?
I originally created an insecure boot image, flashed it to the device and tried to gain root via adb, however this did not work, so I unpacked the system image file, added the nessicary binaries and repacked it.
Once I had done this, I was able to flash the system image with odin.
What do I need to do?
1. Download Odin (you might be able to use heimdall, however I have not tested this!)
https://hotfile.com/dl/173880315/eee04eb/Odin3_1.85.zip.html
2. Download the image (3 parts, zip files)

http://www.renscreations.com/i9305/I9305_XXALI5_root.z02 - Part 3
3. Unzip Odin to an easy to access place (such as your desktop)
4. Unzip the image file to the same directory.
Use either winrar (www.rarlabs.com) or 7-zip (www.7-zip.org) to extract the multi-part zip.
5. Boot your SGS in to download mode
(power off... then press and hold the power + volume down + home buttons at the same time)
6. Connect your phone to your PC using the cable that came with it.
If you are using a laptop make sure you connect it to a port on the machine not the docking station (if you have one). If your machine has USB3 try to avoid using the USB3 ports.
7. Open the Odin application
Make sure your phone is detected, there will be a yellow square in the top left corner (see below screen dump)
8. Make sure it looks similar to the below screen (same options ticked, the .tar file in the 'PDA' section)
9. Press start and wait. Your phone will be flashed and reboot when it is finished.
10. That's It, once the phone has booted you will have root access.

Very clever mick,
Well done.

Amazing work! So with the three zips - best way to join as one?

i use winrar, however you could use 7-zip as well.
www.rarlabs.com or www.7-zip.org

I'll upload these to my own site for faster immediate download for others . I'm currently redownloading part 3 since it seems to be corrupted. Eager to root my phone, thanks for the ROM!

I am willing to bet it will work on any GT-I9305... Even the european one As its exactly like someone flashing A I9300 to a I9300 from australia or a I9300T they all work together I have done it perfectly without a problem.
So I would say All I9305 are the same Overseas and australians... BUT IT HAS TO BE I9305 Model number

Woohoo, it worked! Thanks a ton. Confirmed working on my I9305 from Optus.
Unfortunately my upload speed is rather slow so those waiting for an alternate download link will have to wait for a while. I'm only uploading part 1 tonight (available in 80 minutes) and will upload part 2 and 3 tomorrow morning.

Niceee i would bet this is working on any I9305

Good work Mick. Have you tried installing any of the CWM's?

Do you need to do any sort of wipe prior to installing?

not as yet. I will do a full backup of my device (including IEMI!) before I attempt that.

Cool thanks. So am not famililar with wiping except through CWM - do you just use the Samsung wipe in settings??

Dial *2767*3855# in the stock dialer, that is the quickest way.
but you will get NO warning, the phone will just begin to erase itself, so make sure you are ready!

Yes thanks. And is that a complete format of the SD card or a wipe like the CWM wipes which keep some settings on your SD card?

-> believing all your drivers are installed correctly
3.1 open Odin*.exe ,
3.2 connect your tab and press volume up...
-> at this stage Odin should recognise your device
on the ID:COM section like
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
4. UNTICK AUTO REBOOT or you wont be able to enter recovery
5. Tap pn AP and go to the recovery you downloaded.
select it
6. Press on Start to begin the flashing process
-> After Odin flashes the recovery it will tell you PASS!
7
7.1. Preas and hold POWER + VOLUME DOWN
7.2. when the screen goes black change and hold HOME + VOLUME UP
Now you will enter TWRP... stage 1 done.
rooting on post #2:good:​

Now TWRP is functional... Time to root.
1. Download Chainfire's SuperSu flashable zip here
-> and thanking is not a crime.
2. Reboot to recovery...
ALLOW TWRP TO MODIFY THE SYSTEM PARTITION
3.1. Select install
3.2. navigate to your supersu zip
/sdcard/* or /extsdcard/*
-> when you are at the folder where your zip is it will be on the dialog on the right.
4.1. select it
4.2. swipe to confirm
4.3. select wipe cache/dalvik and reboot...
Now you have a Custom Recovery and you are rooted... Doors open.
Becarefull to not to open the wrong doors ​

I have this tab as above, it is locked(programmed) using an administrative app named Cellwe EMM. Basically i cannot download anything on this tab with neither usb nor sdcard including the internet. All i have to do to get rid of this security is wipe using custom recovery. When i get the tab in download mode it has this MDM DOWNLOAD BLOCK which block me from flashing and installing custom recovery in this tab. My only hope is if i can create an update.zip for twrp or cwm to be installed in this tab using stock recovery. This is where i need help,can someone create this for me or help me with a guide to do this

My only hope is if i can create an update.zip for twrp or cwm to be installed in this tab using stock recovery. This is where i need help,can someone create this for me or help me with a guide to do this

Hahaha not possible... the update.zip need to be signed by Samsung specifically...
Unless you get a modified stock recovery which needs to be flashed via Odin...

Ok

Hi all
I hereby present to you a cool addition for our beloved Note3 (SM-N9005 model).
Photos
Thanks to my junior @Kill-Switch
Please read the steps properly before you start flashing.
Don't hold me responsible for any damages you might end up doing to your device if you choose to flash either of the 4 files that I'm providing to you! :cyclops:
1. Go to Download mode.
2. Flash the BL file using Odin (remove Auto-Reboot tick).
3. After its been flashed completely, remove the data cable & pull out the battery.
4. Go to the Download Mode again.
5. This time, flash the CP file using Odin (don't remove Auto-Reboot tick).
These are links to 2 sets:
GPS works fine for me in the newer set, it might work for you with the older set.
1. Old
&
2. New
Tbh, the way I did it was, I flashed the Old set initially (photographs from that time) then I flashed the Newer set (hoping GPS would be better) & I still have the "Powered by Android" text in my phone.

tried the new one, and it works! looks really great, thank you! =)
im testing later gps if it is working properly
Gps working perfect ?

If I'm not wrong, this is the boot splash that you've modified. If so, then let me make one small request . Can you please make another one That says Note 7 instead of Note 3
Edit: I know this basic fact that boot splash (param.bin) has nothing to do with CP (modem) so I only flashed the new BL file with auto reboot ticked in Odin and it was success for me without the need to change my modem or follow the steps in OP. I've got the new boot splash now. Good job mate, hop you will make one that I've requested :good:

so...i also want it

@TheTAMAS man, you are awesome. Haven't tried it yet, but the fact that you've shared for all to experience is awesome.

What I dont get is how this would effect your GPS?

They are bootloader & modem files.. Modem file affects all the radios on the phone.. Including the ones that relate to GPS..

Yeah but I thought you just edited the image from the bootloader. Is this a custom bootloader then? Not a lot of info on the OP but I'm still a bit of noob with boot loaders and modems

agree mate..hope he help

Just an opinion, but for those who like the hassles, can just grab the latest stock Note 3 firmware on sammobile and flash it using Odin. I did that and saw the Powered by Android text when I rebooted my phone. Its a good thing to update your bootloader and baseband as well, but if you like the simple way then go ahead with this one.
P.S Nice guide by the way

This didn't work for me though. I tried installing both new and old, untick auto-reboot, retick auto-reboot, all the tricks in the book, restarted the phone, after each method, no Powered by Android

Samsung galaxy sm j727p - (boost mobile)

Hey there everyone,
I have a Samsung Galaxy SM J727P (Boost Mobile) - I am not quite sure what happened; however I sometimes power my phone off by pulling the battery. This time... at the very wrong time or the right time. I am guessing it was doing a system update; however I didn't select that and didn't get a notification.
When I powered it back up, it gave me an error and wouldn't boot.
I since then accidentally pressed some buttons and the screen loaded Android Recovery screen. I would flash it with ODIN however I don't want to lose any data. My SIM Card has my contacts I believe for the most part. I would like to save as much as possible.
Does anyone have any ideas what this error could mean for my data situation? I never once rooted this phone or changed stock ROM.
Here it is: (Also has cracked screen from running it over with my car):
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

peter couniaz,
Would you agree that "J727PVPU6BSF2" would be the next version to flash it to correctly from the existing J727PVPU4BRK4 version of firmware?
I found the following direct links to the above mentioned firmware:
AP:
androidfilehost dot com/?w=file-thanks&fid=818070582850488362&mid=254&download_id=ac2523d3c5746caecae78252005a1a0a&tid=1578746727&hc=a557bb807dd4fbbf33973d2e1e7b4779e2bbc3cc71ecb7ade855cf0892403cf0

Do you think these are the correct versions? I remember the Developers here on XDA were using these back in 2016-2017 and I never had a problem then.
Thanks again! :good:

You may need to download from another site the J727PVPU6BSF2 will work but you need the CSC Home file to try to save your data !
Try this link
https://samfrew.com/model/SM-J727P/
Or try the sammobile site !

[SOLVED] Thanks peter couniaz

Thank you again peter,
I was able to solve this by doing as you said and using the following firmware:
samfrew dot com/download/Galaxy__J7__Perx__/tadn/BST/J727PVPU4BRK4/J727PSPT4BRK4/
NOTE: If you are using Boost Mobile and an American like myself; Don't hesitate using Regional Firmware: (BST). It's the Boost Mobile Branding that's the true differential.
I flashed with ODIN revision Current.13 and it worked wonderfully!

Brandon :good:
