I have just rooted my Nexus One and by far is a lot better. I'm having a problem with it tho. Upon trying to install the N1 Torch Light in the Android Market, it downloads and installs, but when I run it, it ask for permission and I click yes. Then the app just hangs on and I have to force close it. Same thing with other free apps from the rooted section of the Android Market. What can be the cause of this?
Are you using Cyanogenmod or modaco's desire? or another one?

I was using the Stock Rom+Cyanogen Add On, then I installed the Cyanogen 5 rom and everything went perfect. Went to test out the rooted apps and it works like a charm. Thanks
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.
I just got my HTC One for AT&T two weeks ago,
rooted and installed the following
-TWRP
-SuperSU
-bulletproof Kernel/ROM
Whenever I start the camera application, the whole screen is black and the on screen buttons are greyed out.
I've tried to install a stock boot.img and reinstall the Bulletproof Kernel and the same happens.
I've tried the solutions listed on the thread to delete 3 specific files in the zip with no avail. The latest version, 1.10 is supposed to address the camera issue with a camera fix, but I tried it and its still the same.
Reference threads:
Guide I used: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2273376
Bulletproof thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2233665
Can anyone help please?
You're on the stock ROM?
If so, you don't need the camera fix, you need the original files. If you have a backup, restore /system and you should be good to go.

Don't have a backup, and when I'm on the stock ROM, it says "Unable to start the camera" and when I'm on Bulletproof Kernal, the camera is all blacked.
Isn't the original files the stock boot.img?
P.S. Sorry, new to this.
Try using a different kernal it might fix the problem, worked for me.

Bulletproof on 4.1.2 camera issue!!!!
i am running into this exact same issue, black camera screen of death
i've tried installing all bulletproof kernals from 1.0 to 2.1
(compatable with my AT&T, android 4.1.2, sense 5)
HAS ANYONE BEEN ABLE TO SUCCESSFULLY INSTALL THIS BULLETPROOF
KERNAL ON AT&T, android 4.1..2
???
if you have, please help.
which version of the kernel did you install?
what settings did you use?
maybe i'm doing something wrong, i'm somewhat new to rooting,
before i install a "new" kernel, do i have to do anything so that it overwrites the previous properly?
thanks
AJ
As Flar2 said you don't need the camera fix on stock, reflash Bulletproof and uncheck the option to apply the camera fix.
Ok, thanks, i will give it a shot.
Noob question, if im reflashing a kernel,
(Using TRWP)
Do i have to do anything special? Or will these kernels automatically overwrite?
Thanks!

Also, if I instal the custom ROM, I will lose all the S-Pen features ? Is there any ROM that offers any S-Pen features ?

I heard about people having issues after the OTA. Unfortunately if you took the OTA, you cannot root therefore you cannot install a custom ROM which is too bad. I am running Dynamic Kat and Dynamic Kat Xtreme which are extremely fast with minimal if any issues.

Not in the case of the Note 3 and the latest KitKat update from AT&T. You needed to be rooted on 4.3 and update to Kitkat via a custom ROM. Right now you and everyone else who took the OTA update are stuck. Sorry man. Read around the forums. You will see the sad truth.

Not if you have the At&t Note 3. (Locked Bootloader)
Your out of luck until Kingo comes out with a Root solution or someone else
Still you cant run a custom ROM that needs a kernal.
You can only install TouchWiz roms. FOREVER no exceptions until bootloader is unlocked which will never happen EVER.
Yes S Pen work with our custom ROMs. (TouchWiz) we cant install CM on these phones period.
So here is your situation. You have installed the wonderful Stock 4.4.2 from At&t and are stuck.
I would factory reset it (Stock Recovery) and see if that helps.
Thats it.

Oh no..this is really strange and very surprising to me that there is no way to install custom ROM on AT&T note 3 with OTA 4.4.2 update.
So, in the update they have locked the bootloader completely which cannot be unlocked ? Because in normal rooting process, we usually unlock the booatloader first, it can't be done in this case ?
Is this restriction added from AT&T or Samsung ?

When this Phone first came out the bootloader was locked (By At&t)
This new update didn't do that. You just can't root your phone on the OTA 4.4.2 right now.
Once you get it rooted, you can install SafeStrap 3.72 and flash a custom rom.

I installed a custom KITKAT rom and enjoying my phone a lot. Just have to stay involved in these forms and read read read. You will be fine. Check Kingo android root online to see if the released a new version that will root it for you. Locked bootloader means no custom kernels, there for AOSP, CM and others won't work. Only Touch wiz.

Is there any way to make the performance of note 3 faster and less sluggish (OTHER THAN FACTORY RESET) ?
I have tried doing a factory reset but still note 3 performance is not good even tho this is a great specs phone.
Turn off all of the boatware in the settings menu. That should help some. Also, go into developer options and change the animation scales to .5 or off. That won't really make your phone faster, but it will seem faster. There's a thread in the general section about making your phone super fast.

1) What does this animation option does ?
2) How to disable the boatware ? How to disable app as I do not see disable button in app settings for any app ? can you please give me a test example please ?
The changing the animation times will make the animations between switching windows faster or slower. Changing them to .5 will make them faster and off will make them nonexistent so there will be no animations between windows. When the animations are faster/off it will make the phone seem faster. Not sure if my explanation is clear enough, but if you try it you'll see what I mean.
To turn stuff off, go to the settings menu, application manager, and pick an application. For example, let's say you pick HP Print Plugin. Near the top right of the screen you will see a button that says "turn off". Push this and the application will be disabled. Some of them you cannot turn off. Be careful which ones you turn off because it can cause problems if you disable the wrong thing.

There is more to life than custom ROM's.
That said, many of the apps that require root have alternatives for people without root.
For example, Adaway requires root, while AdBlockPlus works without root.
They perform the same functionality, just with different permissions.
The only reason I am not yet ready to give up root is Viper4Android is the best app for tweaking audio,
and without root it is impossible to remove crapware

You can flash a ROM without root. You just need a PC and software that bypasses the locked bootloader so you can flash the custom ROM onto your device. I recommend the SP Flash Tool for Windows if you don't want to root your phone and still run a custom ROM.

SAD. like I said earlier, it is still impossible to install a custom ROM without root.
If you really need root, you could try looking on Swappa for one that either has root or has an early enough build date to obtain root.
I have the same Build: G925VVRU4BOG7 and have been looking for root options for months now. I just received access to Samsung Pay which I'm pretty excited to check out (and I heard can be lost if you trip KNOX), but I still would like root as this is the only phone I've owned which can't be rooted.
Additionally, I JUST received a software update notification... I'm user what to do. If I update, maybe someone will figure out a way to root the new version. However, if I do update and then someone finds a root method for G925VVRU4BOG7, I will probably shoot myself in the kneecap lol.
Does anyone have any suggestions for accepting the software update? Thank you!
