Hi, I have a question about the S3 Toolkit. I have a International S3 LTE, GT-I9305. I am on stock ROM, and on Android 4.1.2, build no. JZO54K.I9305XXBMB4, baseband version I9305XXBMA2. I am trying to root my phone through the toolkit, but there is a problem I encountered. There are two versions I see under International LTE that are similar to the above version numbers. The first one is 15. Android 4.1.2 [Build JZO54K BLL3] and the other is 16. Android 4.1.2 [Build JZO54K BLL5]. As you have read, i'm trying to root my phone, but if I select the wrong device version and build, it might brick my phone, so how do I find out which number is it behind BLL? Like BLL3 or BLL5?
AW: [Q] Samsung Galaxy S3 Toolkit Build Versions
Try framaroot to root your phone(frodo exploit), worked great for my s3lte:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=37508806
If i understand it rightly the toolkit contains kind of prerooted images which must correspond to your actual rom and will be flashed to your phone. Both versions you mentioned don't match your actual rom. Btw framaroot is an app and nothing gets flashed so imho much saver and no risk of flashing the wrong image.

Ok, actually I did try Framaroot once, but all the exploits didn't work. I'm going to try it again, I'll edit this post once I'm done.
Edit: I tried Framaroot again, and both exploits didn't work. I tried the options for installing SuperSU and Superuser, both also didn't work. (funny that the Settings button doesn't do anything.)
So, how do I root my phone?

Thanks, but I found this app called Samsung Quick Root, and it says it can be used for all Samsung phones. Can I use this instead?
Edit : BTW, is there a way I can retain the original kernel (the one i'm using now; stock) so I can flash it back after installing the insecure kernel? (I can use any insecure kernel right?)
You could try but rooting doesn't give you a different kernel. It usually involves getting a custom recovery and flashing super user
There are some apps the use the exploit on the soc but I don't use them

OK, thanks for the advice given. For the method you have given me, I can't seem to find the correct one which matches my PDA, CSC and product code for the (modified) stock packages category down the post. So am I supposed to use anyone of the packages given? If something wrong happens, can I just flash back my package that I can get from sammobile.com?

Yes you can flash them as long as you can or you can Google framaroot and it will root your device without flashing anything

Ok, thanks. Is there any specific reason why Framaroot doesn't work on my phone? All exploits and root methods don't work on my phone. Why?
Edit: Another different question, is there any way I can do a screenshot using the stock method (I believe it's Vol Down+Home?) on the S3? Without the motion (slide palm over screen) screenshot thing option turned on, I tried different combinations of hardware buttons, but none worked. How?
Sent from a phone which can make Galaxies.
Random bump, but just curious (I didn't want to flood that previous post. ). Will Samsung make a 4.2.1 update for the I9305? Or will they just wait until 5.0 is out, then make a 5.0 update (if Samsung does update the original S3 to 5.0 when its out, they probably should make one for the I9305 right?)?

Hi! I'm trying to root my i9305 and we have the same case. So what did you chose within the two? Or you just came with different rooting procedure?
Thanks!
I assume your phone build is not under the toolkit? I did not root my phone using that method. This is how I rooted my phone:
1. Using Odin, I flashed the CWM recovery.
2. Went into recovery, flashed the root zip I got from one of the threads here.
3. Rooted!

Yep I downloaded the v7.0 toolkit and my phone is not into it. Yet on the latest version of the toolkit which is v7.40 my phone is already listed there. Maybe I could just wait for the developer to upload the latest version.

[ROM] [STOCK] CUBE / CUBE_lean_v2 (root) | v20g-2.3.3
DISCLAIMER: I'm not responsible if anything happens to your phone. Use this at your own risk.
Based on stock v20g, but recovery flashable. Will not update your baseband. Works only on the new baseband.
There are two versions
CUBE - 100% equal to stock.
CUBE_lean - stripped down and rooted.
Important:
Do not upgrade from Froyo to any of these ROM, you won't have GSM/UMTS then.
If you already have the new baseband you can use this.
If you do not have the new baseband you can not use this.
Do not use LGMDP to flash this ROM.
FAQ:
Q: Oh no! Yet another gingerbread ROM?
A: This is not yet another, it is the stock one, just in different packaging.
Q: And why do i need that again if there is a stock ROM already?
A: If you do not want to flash via lgmdp but rather use your already existing clockwork mod recovery.
Q: What's the problem with using lgmdp?
A: It flashes more than you need if you just wanted to downgrade. And it flashes "dangerous" areas of the phone making it more prone to create a brick.
Q: Mobile data is not working after flashing this rom. What now?
A: Go to settings and set the APN manually. Consult google for your operator settings.
--- CUBE
stock kernel 2.6.35-10
stock apps
flash with clockwork mod 3.x

No it won't. This won't upgrade your baseband. You need a new baseband already. This ROM is when you don't want to flash the baseband again to get back to stock.

This is actually pretty useful. I was wanting to go back to the stock GB kernel/ROM (having too many issues with the custom ones), but I didn't want to go through the whole ordeal of using LGMDP again. Thanks for this.
You also need lgmdp to change the baseband, so its ridiculous

It can't be flashed without a computer. It needs KDZ/LGMDP.
Sent from my LG-P500 using XDA App
I'm curious. Has somebody already used the provided ROM and had success flashing and running it?
I wasn't able to flash via LGMDP, for some reason it kept going into fastboot.
I flashed this and everything is perfect.
All you hating should just shut up. This helped me a lot.
Thank you.
BTW - rooting doesn't work and the APN's and settings and bookmarks and everything are from a different carrier, not mine.
Weird but... whatever.
I just want it rooted. Anyone that can help?
Why would you want to use this?
Install gingerLOL which is rooted and cleaned. Its still slow because its still based on official crap but certainly faster than this.
I think is useful enough...
You have to use lgmdp tool just once ,not again and again to change from v20g to v20c or other downgrades,just flash this rom and then flash any official gb rom you want instead of using lg tool again...
But if you want to flash a froyo rom then you have to use lg tool again....
All these if i understand good,
Or not????

This worked. Thank you. One more question if you don't mind.
A new clockwork mod manager was installed using the cf-root you linked. However when I open it it tells me that I'm running a different kernel and that several features have been disabled. Is possible for me to flash a different kernel to gain the usage of these features?

Hi all,
I have European Version of the Galaxy Tab 8.9 P7310 Wifi only.
I at least waited for the official Stock ICS Update to finally go and root my phone now. My first impression is that I made my life a little bit harder now.
As is can see so far in the forum there is only the possibility to flash CWM recovery from odin and after that go root as described in suwandiapr thread here:
**NEWEST P7310 ICS FOR USA RETAIL**[STOCK ROM]GT-P7300/P7310 odin image at One Place
Now I have a few questions. Can I use this method described in the thread for my European Galaxy Tab as well?
Can I use a CWM 6.0.0.8 file to flash with odin? Or only the versions shown in the thread?
Should be possible to unpack the "recovery.img" from a flash file prepared to be flashed from recovery, right? For example the one in the TOOLKIT thread from nirogu325 that is inside the Toolkit package
[GUIDE & TOOLKIT][8.04.12] One-stop Guide for 7300/7310
Finally, is there a possibility to flash root file from stock ics recovery. Becaus only possibility if have in stock recovery is to choose option "apply update from external storage" and when I choose this option the phone will show me "E:unknown volume for path [/sdcard]" and I have no access to my data in /sdcard folder.
Thanks for your replys.
Feels like people aren't searching....
I answered similar question yesterday...
I would recommend to use the stock ICS file for Odin flash. If you want, you can follow that up with an Odin-flashable recovery & a root.zip flashed from recovery.
see e.g.
Odin-flashable recovery (I still prefer the slightly older 5.1.2.6 - for a more complete and logical menu than 5.5.0.4; and more reliable than 6.x)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=30839339&postcount=52
for root package:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=30837767&postcount=47
Edit, to answer your other questions.
- There is no Odin package for cwm 6.0.0.8, so you can't use that directly over stock ICS.
- you can not use stock ICS recovery to flash anything at all, no root.zip, no nothing. Reason is that it does not mount sdcard correctly
- all of this will work on p7300/7310 of any region
Sorry fred_be9300, I searched a lot before opended this thread. Maybe not good enough, but I just want to get sure that I do everything correct before bricking my device.
So, thanks for your answers, this helped me to be completly sure what I have to do.
I sucessfully flashed the CWM with ODIN and after that installed the root.zip from CWM Recovery.
It was easier than I thought before, verything worked fine for me. Now I´m happy with my rooted Stock ICS for the moment and hoping for some more cool custom roms!
Thanks a lot!

Probably whatever was the first root package you tried, has messed things up. It may be preventing the other packages from installing properly.
It might work to run an unroot package to clean up; not tested that myself.
I vouch for the success of installing ICS + CWM5.1.2.6 + kk_root_ics. Try it clean, if nothing else works.

Wow you really picked up an oldie!
I would recommend you move on to a newer ics *for p7300* though. The one you are on now, was ported in August, from the initial p7500 (tab 10.1) ics release. When used on p7300, it tends to give battery miscalibration issues after one or several charge cycles. The thread you linked is full of the complaints.

Baaaam, here is one more "thanks" for you"! :good:
So i got the 8.9 last week and am pretty happy so far. My main uses are internet surfing and hd videos from youtube and play store. However one of my only complaints is that this thing isnt the fastest. I upgraded to official ics when i first got the tab and its not bad but still id like to install Asop jellybean and overclock the tab to 1.2 or 1.4. However id hate to brick my tab which i see on here all the time. The only problem is i have no idea how to root, even after reading and searching for the past week. My question is could some one tell me or show me a link to show EXACTLY how to root to the newest asop jb from official ics without bricking and then tell me how to oc it? I am such a noob with this, I dont know what kernels or anything is. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Not sure how missed this thread in the list. It's stickied at the very top.

Hmm. I'd be careful recommending ROMs just yet. He hasn't mentioned which model of 8.9 Tab he has.
Given that he mentions he's already on ICS I'd assume he's probably got a wifi-only P7310. He doesn't mention any other radio types (3G, LTE, etc.).
@Wrebbs, what model 8.9 tab do you have?

The ICS I have runs really smooth! Price was good aswell. Strange that your TAB is slow...
Only problem I have is that Adobe Flash gives me some trouble in HD and on some sites.
I tried HC 3.2 Stock, CM10 JB 4.1, SafariKing ICS and ported ICS from 7500 v2 and honestly - If I had stock original ICS I think I would stay with it! The Jellybean ROMs still have issues. in Alpha Beta stages.
The Tracid rom mentioned might be the next rom I try, but still happy with the ICS rom I have. If it aint broke don't fix it... (Itchy though, flashing roms is fun.)
Take it from someone whos hard bricked before, take your time and do your homework. Make sure you know the rom is for your specific device. You're not going to see drastic speed increases even if oc'd. So take your time and re-read everything. Your going to have to flash a recovery first, cwm or twrp through odin. Again, make sure it's for your device. Then you can root or flash a rooted rom. Once again, make sure it's for your device.

I'm pretty sure most of the mods work for i8190T as well, as long as you dont mess with your modem or efs.
Have you tried any of the roms, like CM10.1, AOKP?
Just make a nandroid in recovery before you ,and if it doesn't work just restore your backup.

Even though it stats its for i8190 or other, it works in the N & L variant, you'll lose NFC though if you are on the N variant, but you still keep your baseband from the L variant
So the roms will pretty much work as long you dont tamper with your efs/modem folders
Have they made a way to back those up other then me finding and making copys of them elsewhere, that sgs2mini toolkit is even limited to what can be done with the i8190T

EFS is most important to backup. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=37310230&postcount=21
"/modemfs" is mmcblk0p12. Use this to backup whole partition to external sd:
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p12 of=/extSdCard/modemfs.img
Baseband can be found in official firmware from sammobile.
Did you have any luck? I also got the GT-I8190T model (from NZ too).
Is there an alternative to the magic rooter? I really don't have the money to buy the "auto update" feature to root the T model (it's like $30-40NZD).
Simply install N version ROM. There is no technical difference between them except the device name.
Alot of L variant users uses 8190 version for daily use with no bugs
So, who is going to go first??!!
I also am a kiwi with the TDCAMA3 on the XT network. I have two wifi tablets with CM ROMS but I am chary of phones with their frequ band requirements. Would like to start with rooting and cwm recovery, though.
Would also not like losing NFC just in case I find a use for it!
Look I8190T is just a model with 16GB of internal storage and NFC nothing else.

Mines 8 gig apparently on XT network
Random fact my 8gig model GT-I8190T after I rooted the device with the Odin flashed recovery and installed superuser which allowed me to uninstall alot of the bloat ware and still retain it if needed via '' rom customiser '' app my phone doesn't lag out and freeze any more.
Also did I get ripped or what No external SD included I used a 16 gig from my old I9000

For all you GT-i8190T XT owners I have made a public folder in my drop box with all required files to root your phone reliably
http://db.tt/O7Gn5gHb
1 Unzip odin
2 Use three button combo to put your phone into download mode, (turn off completely , hold home, volume down, and power - for those that don't know) press up I think it is to confirm download mode.
3 with device connected to Odin flash the. MD5 file in the PDA section (do not tick repartition)
4 after reboot connect phone to pc and move the update superuser to your external SD can be done before to save time.
5 turn phone off again. And then go into recovery, home+volume up+ power hold until the first screen comes up.
6 flash the update super user from your external SD.... Important it's external SD..
7 reboot phone enjoy you rooted stock GT-i8190T
Just use rom customiser from the market to remove all your bloat ware

Hey, thanks for the files.
I used the root toolkit for the s3 mini. Chose option 22 (install for 8190N)
Installed just CWM, restarted the device to recovery and just installed CM10.1 from here:
http--->maclaw.pl/2013/09/19/release-cm10-1-s3-mini-10 (I need 10 posts post a link, so just copy/paste that)
Everything seems to run fine. The phone runs 10 times smoother than it did before. Stock android is the tits and the quick setting bar is nice.
overall, no regrets. Interface is 200% better than it was on touchwiz
Now that I run custom roms on my i8190T the Samsung splashscreen displays "I1890N". That's all well and good but my question is whether the "T" is essentially the same as the "N" model and whether I would be safe to flash the latest i1890N modem? Thanks for any help.
