Root I9305 on mac - Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Q&A, Help &

I have a question!
Does anyone know how to root I9305 on Mac using heimdall?
Cheers!

Buy/build a windows or Linux PC. Don't support such a company.
However I will support using a Samsung device:
You can root it on the device using Mobile Odin
It costs a good $3
It's a bit hard to meaninglessly fork out $3 for no reason so here is a version to let you trial it - https://www.dropbox.com/s/4z1639ztv7vgu17/Mobile ODIN Pro 3.45.apk
Make sure to check 'Unknown sources' in the security settings before trying to install it
I DO NOT support piracy and do not have a single piece of pirated content on my device so if you like it BUY IT

Did not know that odin worked on the phone! Can you explain how to do it? Although I rather do it in heimdall

I wasn't aware that MobileOdin worked on non-rooted devices ?

To install Odin either get it off the Play Store or off the link provided above then just click it and follow the prompts
Then tick all (like in the photo) then just press 'Flash firmware'.

It doesn't but if you use exonysabuse to gain root access you can use it

That's great but your question was how to get root access and i don't understand how you can get root access using MobileOdin if your device isn't rooted in the first place.

Oh sorry! My bad! I meant installing clockworkmod after root!

Try ROM Manager? That allows you to install ClockWork Recovery from the device

Rom manager says it doesn't support I9305 only I9300. Safe to Flash anyway?

Download cwm on your device (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1943317)

Did it and it worked flawlessly! Thanks a bunch!
Second question, I read that you are suppose to back up your Imie number. Why and does a nandroid backup do the trick?

Your IMEI is your phone's radio's unique identifier and it is often used by your service provider
Unfortunately it cannot be backed up with a simple nandroid backup
Follow this guide to backup your IMEI (only has to be done the once)

I know a way but i dont remember how can i do this: you will download an 2.2.1(try to download multicsc) froyo and root this. Take csc files from if someone using this rooted stock rom . After you will change sales code from *#272*imei* select your csc and setup. After update to 2.3.x from kies.(if kies not find update wipe cache and factory reset.
I tried to tell it with my english.In old i have same problem with my country's stock rom and i do it. Maybe it cant be true because exacetly because it was 1.5 years ago.if you cant found rom you can try this.

Yeah, that's exactly what You have to do.
Maybe for more explanation.
Place the downloaded file on Your EXTERNAL sdcard (main folder- root folder)
1)Turn off Your phone.
2)Hold Power button+ Volume Up + Home button untill You see the Samsung N7000 logo (then release it)
3)Choose install zip from external sd card
4)Choose the downloaded file, accept.
5)Congratulations, You're done. Reboot Your phone.
Its done buy I got the yellow error when my phone is start and still my phone is not rooted

The root method used in this thread only involves changing the kernel..which will not have any effect on the data.

Need some serious help

I flashed the knoxraid 5.1 rom coming from jellybean by drakey exactly like it said and now the phone will not boot past the samsung custom screen and for some reason i might not have flashed the rom (maybe?). I know i did it correctly in odin but thinking back i might have added the file for the rom in safestrap but didnt flash it .i can go into recovery and download mode and see custom screen but thats it . Please help a dumbass out . Ive searched for 4 hrs and stiil got nothing.

I followed the directions exactly made sure the odin window looked like the picture said it should look. I honestly think that i added the rom file in safe strap and was reading and working at the same time and i forgot to flash the actual rom i kept hitting back to get to download and didnt execute the flash but im not sure cause everthing else i know i did it corectly cause i checked it 3 times . Guess thats why it said go slow and take your time.

While that is possible, there are also other reasons for failure.
We're you trying to flash in stock slot or a different slot. Always flash in stock slot with KitKat ROMs

Basically.. If you forgot to flash the ROM... One of 2 things would happen, exactly what you are saying or it would boot the stock ROM.

There is a restore to MJ5 tutorial in the general section.
If you want to restore your backup, you will need to use Odin to flash the MJ5 AP and BL and then use SS to restore. After that you should be good to go and try again.

Worked for me to go to a different rom, also. Coming from Knoxraid 5.1 with SS. I took out my sd card, did a factory reset on stock rom slot. Flashed Alliance rom, it finished but failed due to E: unable to mount /systemorig'. Put my sd card back in, booted to download mode in SS, Flashed the MJ5 AP and BL in odin. Left auto reboot on and it passed and rebooted straight into my Alliance rom. Lost all my personal data but if your looking at bricked phone you don't care.

i don't know either but you could try searching in a root file explorer app. Just check file explorer apps in playstore, I think es-explorer is kinda good and has root function.
In the explorer, just select the "/" (base folder) and then use the search function
i think it is gone any idea to restore it?
