Rooting s3 mini - Galaxy S III Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Is there any way to root any stock rom without having to flash the prerooted rom?

If you know everything about this http://lifehacker.com/5789397/the-always-up+to+date-guide-to-rooting-any-android-phone you can build your own prerooted ROM.
Otherwise i think it´s not possible to get Root without flashing a prerooted one.

Flash cwm recovery with odin, flash supersu zip. You got root!
Use triangle away to remove custom binary count.

triangle away does not seem a complete solution with the newer roms, there seems to be some sort of runtime fight over updating the count, and triangle away now needs to keep running to keep the count to 0. This is why I have not tried that method. Am I wrong?

You had the latest firmware and you don't need to have triangles away run on every bootup?

Stuck on the official logo after using Triangle Away

Dear Friends,
I wanted to reset the binary and flash counter values...
So I have used Triangle Away App and after downloading the needed files I have clicked on reset binary and got this msg "THIS IS A DANGEROUS OPERATION AND COULD POTENTIALLY BRICK YOUR DEVICE. PROCEED AT YOUR OWN RISK."
I continue to the operation and after it device logged into the official logo but it stuck there only on official logo...
"Samsung Galaxy Note GT - N7000"
Nothing happening,.... What to do? Afraid to touch the device, I may brick it..
what to do...?? Please I need your help...
It seems like you didn't thnik of my advice which i gave you. hmmm
BTW if its not booting then you have to get into download mode and flash a prerooted GB rom.

Would it be fine if i flash back to the Prerooted GB ROm??
I am little worried to this operation...
Please sir...
Flashing GB, just give you device back to boot normaly, Doesn't cause reset flash counter.
Wipe full after flashing GB ROM, then use Jig to reset counter OR again flash ICS and use triangle away.
Now you dont think you are paying for what you are doing?
I have marked since you got root, you are playing with flashing everday !
Sometimes that happens. Try it again when you fixed it.

Sorry Ketan sir,
As I have recovered from one problem, stuck to another as you said I need to reset my counter, I stated following the thread but now I am serious, not going to flash anything above.
I just need to reset my counters. I don't know about "Jit".
I am on ICS LR6 4.04.
Please provide me the exact procedure...
I really sorry for my childish actions...

Here is the procedure.
You need a JIG to follow the above procedure.
PS :- Only play if you know how can you recover if something went wrong. If you don't know then stay safe, sit on you chair and read the instructions first. Its just a advice.

+1, you may brick your device with improper use of triangle away, by the way did you match the binary count and firmware type in download mode and in triangle away app before proceeding with reset?

That's fine now, you have already made the mistake. I have used TA 4-5 times on stock ICS and it never shows the stats in app main screen, but it shows it in the special boot mode. I have used it on PA once and the flash stats were available on main screen only.
Wait for my PM.

Hey, can I do the followinga???
1. Flash stock GB rom using PC odin,
2. root it and install cwm recovery
3. Flash CM9 or cm9 based custom rom using abyss GB kernel.
4. Use triangle away app to reset counter.
I can then flash rom or can again flash stock GB and return to ICS (via odin) and can root it again using new method for root, new method does not raise counter...
I have received such method....
Will it work... What do you think so???

It should work and is working for most of the people here , but make sure to match stats in app and download mode this time, DO NOT reset counter if you are not sure and wait for JIG as said above.

I really can't understand why you playing with your note if you don't know how to do it properly ?
Almost everyday you flash a new rom, then flash something hilarious which put you in trouble and you came back here for a solution ? Why you can't be with a rom for some days. Let it run for some days, take the juice out.
BTW the steps mentioned above is to be correct :-
When you have GB rooted you don't need to use Abyss. Just go to recovery and flash Rom+Gapps
Wipe Cache/Dalvik/Data(Factory Reset)
Reboot System

sahil sir is really suggesting you a good idea as you have a single sgn.so dont dare to play with it dude.
i am not a master but i know one thing when i flash any rom(stock or custom) is to go back to dr.ketan's pre-rooted gb rom.so i would suggest not you only,to everyone who is flashing the first time is that----please go back to pre-rooted gb rom through pc odin.then try to do whatever you want to......
and a big question is there how would you know that your counter is raised??????have you ever flashed any rom with a short way???if it is then your counter is raised.if not then your counter must be zero.
and its good to be on stock rom as there are mods for it and even a very good call recording.what do you want more than this?????

HELP! First hours with Note

Hope to not disturb, today my Note arrived, so right now i got 4 hours with it. Impressions?!? You all know, is a great device.
So, since this morning i start reading and reading, but are alot of infos here, i lose some and i become confuse, so i will need some help in my order questions.
My build number is GINGERBREAD.XXLA6 (i understand users with it can easily brick the device), so here all my questions:
PS: Please post links too:
1- first step is to root and install cwm (how and link please), or i need to flash a new kernel to be sure my device will never be bricked (how and link please)?
2- after i flash custom kernel and install a new rom, i can make wipe all from custom recovery? After that danger situationto brick it will be forever gone?
3- i would like to unlock the sim network, it is working and it is safe?
4- i know about warranty, but i suppose i can allways go back to stock (i need stock kernel too or only rom?)
Dont know what to ask more, users who will read and write, please, write ALL STEPS, 1by1, from first to last, what i need to do, this phone was a big effort for me to buy it, without any jokes.
Thanks in advance!

As long as you are on GB kernel, you are safe to wipe.
1. Check my sig. for excellent rooting guide by Dr.Ketan (post #3 for LA6), it will help in installing cwmr too.
2. You can wipe on any of the safe custom ICS kernels (if you flash custom ICS rom) just do not wipe on stock ICS kernels.
3. check galaxy_S unlock in play store to unlock, I dont think it is unsafe to do it (except some carrier terms, may be)
4. Once you flash stock firmware you will be back to normal. flashing stock firmware will also change kernel to stock.
I would suggest read a lot before doing anything as flashing custom roms, kernels or modding always include some risk.

No prob, and by the way, why don't you simply flash pre-rooted GB rom (look for it in my sig.), it is already rooted and includes CWM recovery too. All you have to do is to just flash it and then flash any custom rom of your choice using cwm recovery.
Reason why I suggested flashing pre-rooted GB is that your rom seems to be non directly rootable and I think only option is to flash pre-rooted rom. (atleast as per my understanding)

Well i think this i`m doing.
Right now i download SGN_XX_OXA_KJ1_FACTORYFS (GB Pre rooted ROM)
After that, since that pre-rooted rom have root, i can install cwm right?
Then i want to install an custom kernel and ICS rom (i think ics 4.0.4 is the best option for now, 4.1.1 i suppose it have bugs, i saw they are started only) -> that i asked you what is the best kernel and rom so far (ics)
Hope i`m doing good steps here
Update your phone the official way ie go into settings/about phone/ and your phone should update to ics. Then flash notecores kernal http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1749863 using odin then your good to go i personally find this rom the besthttp://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1716088 but every1 has diffrent opinions depends wat u want.

If you choose to flash pre-rooted GB rom, then no need to install cwm separately, as it already includes cwmr, you just have to choose some custom rom and flash it using cwm recovery.
I was about to suggest you the other method of updating to stock ICS first and then rooting but it will take more time and it is of no use as your end motive is to flash custom roms

Well, i will chose the method proviced by kyleastley too, seems more easy this way.
1- I will update to stock ics
2- then flash custom kernel .tar via odin
3- root and install cwm (if the custom kernel include already, dont know)
4- install custom rom (from cwm) since i can wipe after
Is ok this way?

Step 2 u can skip as its already done (dont know about root but definatly cmw) u wil not need root anyway as u can power down phone and reeboot into recovery via 3 button trick.
May i add step 6 install triangle away from play store as it will remove the triangle At boot as u flashed a kernal using odin.
As allways read and read again as uay already know that this phone has the brick problem but if u do everything by the book u will b ok.

That's is completely fine if you want to go this way , step 1 and 2 are okay but step 3 not required as flashing custom kernel via odin will root and install cwmr. You will get yellow triangle and custom binary count by flashing custom kernel, which can be reset using triangle away. check rooting guide in my sig, once you are on stock ICS or ask here.
Checked above post after I posted mine, seems like its getting confusing here, okay so once you are on Stock ICS you have two methods to root and install cwmr,
1. once you are on stock ICS just flash some custom kernel using odin, it will root your device and flash cwmr too, then use triangle away app to remove yellow triangle and reset binary count. (method 2 in rooting guide in my sig.)
OR
2. Once you are on stock ICS, follow method 1 in rooting guide in my sig. in this you can root using stock recovery and then can flash custom kernel using mobile odin, so no yellow triangle or custom binary count.

Good you clarify me
5% left from download and then i will flash the update to ics.
let me see if i understand, after update to ics i will flash a custom kernel via odin (this will have root and cwm too), i will restart the phone and install yellow triangle and reset binary count
then i must root using stock recovery as you say and install again a custom kernel since the yellow triangle doesnt show up anymore? or you want to say i can flash custom rom since the triangle dont show up? -> confuse!

You don't have to remove yellow triangle to install custom rom, you can still do it. Traingle away is just to remove the yellow triangle and to reset binary count for warranty purpose. Yes, you can wipe now, as you are on safe kernel.
Download any custom rom, which you wish to install, put it in your SD, boot in CWMR , perform full wipe and then flash the rom .zip.

[Q] Stockifying a GT-I9305(N)

I have used Triangle Away on XXBMA2 and the sboot it came with and while the flash counter is successfully reset, my system status flag is not, it keeps saying "custom" whatever I do with Triangle Away. Has anyone successfully stockified their I9305, and if so, which ROM and sboot? Does it even depend on sboot?
You need to do a complete wipe too.

Yes I have done that. I started on XXBMA2, rooted and stuff, used Triangle Away and before booting I went into download mode and flashed completely stock. After that didn't work I rooted again, used Triangle Away again, and again, before booting I flashed stock. The only thing being reset is the flash counter.
I think you doing something wrong. Take it easy, root first or use pre-rooted rom. Use TA and let it finish job, boot normally. Once you've done it, reboot to DL mode, use Odin to flash Stock ROM. Restart your phone, go to Back up & Reset section in menu, select Factory Reset and voila. Should be clean as New

Here is what I did on my Note 10.1:
Flashed ROM with correct CSC
Autorooted (Chainfire you know)
Ran TA
Before the device could boot entered recovery (on the phone you can pull the battery)
Did a full wipe
And all was virgin.
Just use this and all your problems will be solved...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1942150
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.

- 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.

Yeah but he need to send his phone to Service Centre for repair so Pre-Rooted Rom is out of game I guess...

Its shows as original with a zero count so all he has to do is remove any apps that need root and he will be fine.

I know all about it and you right but.... His phone is fully working (except Modem) and it's risky sending it rooted even if counter shows 0, imho....

Did you try my "recipe"? Because I've done that three times with three different devices. All successful.

I will give it a go this evening.
Good luck... If you don't succeed and you are in the area of Höör this weekend then contact me and I'll give it a try
Hi, i got a GT-I9305N too , you get system status flag as custom because your phone is still rooted, any modified changes in /system will make your system status as custom like su or busybox. In order to get system status flag to official, you need to reflash your phone with a stock rom with odin3 (Unroot the phone). Send me a private message and i'll link the right stock rom to you if you want, Comviq/tele2 rom if you bought the phone from them or nordic countries.
Use this to find the correct rom : http://samsung-updates.com/device/?id=GT-I9305#sthash.YrJ0gDPY.dpuf
Good luck :good:

Baseband wouldn't work anyway, I need Perseus kernel for that to work, which is the whole reason why I am returning to stock (for service). The way I see it: as long as I can get the system status flag to say 'official' it doesn't matter how I do that because after I can flash any other official rom and the flag wont get touched, so I can return to my stock carrier rom anyway (which by the way is Tele2/Comviq as tico96 suggested).
Thanks for all the tips, I will give it another go tonight.
This is what I did just now:
While running XXBMA2 rooted and with Perseus kernel I applied Triangle Away
Rebooted straight into download mode (by holding home, vol down and power, should I be powering off normally first?)
Installed stock XXALIA
Cleared data
And the result?
Custom binary download: no
Current binary: Samsung official
System status: custom
Operating system status shows "modified"
Can someone honestly tell me they have been able to reset the system status flag on this hardware and also let me know exactly which ROM package they did it from and how they rooted etc. I don't care whether it is for I9305, I9305N or I9305T, radio working doesn't matter to me at all (because if radio has to work for it to revert to stock then I am ****ed either way).
I just want to return to system status: official or normal or whatever it is supposed to say.
Your non stock kernel is your problem. Just as soon as you boot with that you are "modified". Everything has to be stock kernel/recovery/CSC just with SU and you have to run TA and do a complete wipe before the system notice it's rooted. Then you are modified again.

Ok, so before running TA I have to have a stock kernel? But don't I need to reboot into a special mode if I have a secure kernel... meaning I end up booting a secure kernel to do the TA from anyway?
Come to think of it, I don't think I've ever run TA on a system with stock kernel and recovery... I always assumed that I could replace those directly after, perhaps the check is done when I go into download mode? Will try that tonight!

[Q] Error installing ROM (please help)

I've installed a number of ROMs on my phone without a hitch ever since rooting it last year.. until now. I did admittedly do one thing different this time around, and that was formatting both the emmc and preload, too, which I'm for some reason now beginning to believe was a bad move. I don't even know why I did that knowing full well that I have absolutely zero technical know-how of these things lol.. Should've just stuck with the fool proof "safe kernel > full wipe > wipe caches > rom and gapps (if required)" formula.
Anyway, I was on a CM10.1 ROM before this happened (vanilla rootbox). I rebooted to recovery, did a full wipe, wiped caches, formatted system, data, preload and emmc, flashed hydracore 7.0 standard and rebooted to recovery again. I then tried installing beerbong's AOSPA PA3.56 ROM which failed with an error that read something like "installation failed, filename.zip (bad)". Even the ROMS that previously installed without an issue won't install now, including vanilla rootbox (returns a status 7 error)..
The f*** have I done ? Please help.
download and copy onto your phone any Philz kernel for JB. After you have flashed that then you can install the other ROMs.

Cheers! I'll try the latest PhilZ kernel and report back.
Edit:
Right. So, umm, it's not even letting me install the kernel now -- getting the same error. Hmm :/
Ok, download the TAR version of Philz kernel and flash it with odin.

Yeah I've already checked that out -- the problem, however, is that I don't have soldering equipment required for the procedure mentioned :/
I am able to put the phone in download and recovery mode, though (if that can in any way mean that an alternative method to get rid of the yellow triangle can also be used).

You are going to have to reflash stock firmware yes, theres a thread for it in general, might be a couple pages back. Just for future refrence, safestrap doesnt really work(in a fully conventional way) on lollipop, and you cant install twrp or cwm or philz or anything else.

G870A_OC5_Stock_Rooted_ROM won't flash with Odin. If you flashed stock NE4 .tar in odin and won't boot try factory reset from recovery
