[Q] Toolkit Questions

Hello people,
I am fairly new to this forum and I have the following questions that I would appreciate help for.
1. Has any one rooted the I9305, HongKong ( ZHBLJ1 ) Build using the Toolkit? This build is not there in the Toolkit model selection options for I9305.
2. Can we flash the CWM intended for I9300 on our I9305 ?
Thanks in advance!

The most simpler way to root at the moment is this:forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2050297
As an extra you'll get a patch to security hole of exsynos syst3m.
Regarding recovery dont know for cwm but you can use goo manager from the market to flash TWRP. Just open the optios and choose something like 'install the open recovery script'.
For the case yiu are wondering, yes I am using GS3 LTE I9305.

TWRP works for the i9305? I don't think so, the official site doesn't state it and I have not seen anywhere else that it has been ported. Then again, I haven't tried it myself

I am terribly sorry. You are right. The problem was I have both GN 2 and SG3, was tired and so mixed the devices...
Regarding root method, that works on both devices.
Here is a link for the case OP wants to install CWM:
www.androidauthority.com/galaxy-s3-gt-i9305-root-clockworkmod-recovery-126605/
Here is the direct link to xda thread in dev section;
forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1914394
I will also try flashing twrp later when i find time and report back.
Regarding the toolkit, that's actually a question for the dev. I am going to ask him that by myself, I have donated version and since he has a thread in dev section of I9305 he should have some knowledge about this and what for his toolkit can actually be used with LTE SG3.

Is there anything I need to take care of before rooting using the first method? Apart from the usual backup of data? Any issues with the Camera as mentioned in that thread? (this is pertaining to our I9305 specifically).
Thank you, I will track that Toolkit thread for I9305 as well!

Managed to root it using the app by Chainfire,

You got link for CWM? Regarding camera problem, it doesn't have anything to do with rooting. It happens on some devices if one ticks 'patch hole' or whatever. I personally didn't have that problem but another one which maybe isn't related to the patch. It happened only once, a day ago, couldn't hear anything when calling someone or when someone was calling me. Reboot 'solved' it.
To bad that the best SG3 edition receives so little support from devs. It is probably Samsung's fault. They even change encryption method, or some parts of it, so for example with note 2 I am not able to use twrp when encrypted. In feature I am going to buy probably only nexus devices even galaxy note feature editions could pose a temptation. Bit soon we will be getting devices with 1080 resolution and hopefully there will be nexuses with bigger screen.

Yes from the link you gave, Thanks. I am having the problem that the CWM doesn't stick and I get the stock recovery back after the reboot.. They are talking about the /system/boot-recovery.p file which isn't on my phone. It has the /system/recovery-from-boot.p file. Are they the same file ?
Even I am surprised that our S3 model has such little support here. I am hoping that it will only get better as many people get their hands on this!! :good:

Firstly, this is the S4 Active forum, not S4. Secondly, there are lots of threads on unlocking S4's. If none of them work, they haven't been followed correctly. You can try this: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.unlockunit.galaxy_s4&hl=en

You have the wrong forum, this is for a different phone. Start here and look especially in the section for the i9506 because there's little to no chance you'll find what you're looking for here in this forum.

Can you please help me, ROM is working like a charm, only problem i have is that wifi is loosing connection every few seconds?
Do you know what should i do?
Thanks in advance
Its LineageOS ROM for j320fn

Guys try to install this build, stable and all works.
Nobody didn't report any problems with this build:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B35NGYJEHn3cb0tMT3ZOTEhxNWs/view
No f2fs support so you need to reformat all f2fs partition to ext4.
I'll hope that works :fingers-crossed:

I tried this rom, its working perfectly, but im still facing the same problem with wifi getting disconected randomly. Its connected for some time and in one moment it just go like "no connection, connected, no connection...." And it cant be stoped.

For now this bug(if I can name it like 'bug') only happen on a few phones, so I don't know why this happen, but in most cases are wrong WiFi router configuration

Won't boot into the new recovery mode
Hi,
I have a problem on my samsung galaxy j3 2016 SM-J320w8. where I install TWRP using Odin on my pc and when I press Home + Power + Volume Down it doesn't put me into the TWRP Recovery Mode it just stays on the screen show The Model of the phone and it gives me a little message in RED that says "RECOVERY IS NOT SENDROID ENFORCING"
I was wondering if anybody has had this problem and if they have a fix for it.
I've tried different versions of official and non-official versions of TWRP and CWM and they all give me the same error.
I don't know if this could just be a region issue because I'm in Canada.

Canada versions of J3 and A&T versions of J3 have locked Bootloader so I think that you can't run any another recovery or OS different than Samsung Stock ^^

vzw g950u roms

I hate to sound so new build asking this question but with all the variants and threads kind of combining I'm a little confused. I'm not new to xda or rooting or installing ROMs to Samsung devices and have searched but am not getting quite the confirmation I'm looking for.
I see that anyone with the g950u can get root now and that's awesome but are ROMs device specific between all the different variants? I see there is atleast one room that's says g950u in the title of the thread can anyone clear this up for me please?

The U.S. devices (g950u) still have a locked bootloader - the first piece of software executed when you power on. Being locked means that it (the CPU) is looking for a specific key (the public signature) embedded in that code before it continues loading the code _ one that only Samsung/Verizon has authorized. To change that public signature yourself, you need the other half of the key (the private key) and that is akin to asking Samsung for all its source code to every device it makes -- never going to happen!
It will only continue the boot process if the signatures match for the next part (basically the ROM) of the code. A custom ROM won't match that signature, so the bootloader won't execute the ROM code. Having 'root' means you have control over everything software related in the ROM *after* it is booted into the ROM - meaning you're already past the whole signature part.
Unless someone finds a backdoor or security flaw that can be exploited on the bootloader (unlikely), or Samsung (or more likely Verizon) gives us a program to unlock the bootloader (even less of a chance), we won't be seeing any ROMs for the g950u. So, do like I did and shut off all the Samsung gunk (I use all of Google's apps because they behave the same way on every device I own - I can't stand Samsung apps or TouchWiz!) that you can, load Nova and set it up to behave the way YOU want it to work. Then just enjoy what you have!

Thank you for your answer I will root and try to make it more like Google

Great post rhricik! Best explanation I've heard in a while.
From what rhricik posted, it sounds like one can't root because the bootloader is locked in the Verizon version?
Are the bootloaders locked on the AT&T and T-Mobile versions?

No VoLTE or WiFi calling option ?

I've just bought this phone, I have a SIM that does support WiFi calling and VoLTE (it's EE in UK), but I don't see the option anywhere. Similarly I don't see a VoLTE option. I've been everywhere in the menus, and it's just not there, or in the phone app.
Is there some magic code I can type in to force it on, like *#*#86583#*#* on a Xiaomi ?
Do either of these work OK for anyone ?
I have version 17.0922.2005.11

I found the answer, and if someone else is looking, Asus needs to add your carrier / country VOLTE/VOWIFI profiles to their firmware.
I guess I have to wait.

Your carrier/counrty COULD be in there already. Prop edits might be necessary. I posted a thread a few days ago, but deleted it, because the thread got spammed.

can we possibly convince you to share the info again ( read the thread, and yeah, seems people either are clueless or want everything 5G .. aparently they dont get the dofference between network limitations and phone limitations or something :/ ) just got the ROG3 yesterday, but living in a low coverage area, im more or less depending on VoWIFI most of the time, so would be great to have the phone actually working as intended instead of mostly handheld console XD ..
thank you

Hi Guys,
Just finished adding some hours ago all what is needed to enable it for my ROG 3 and my carrier.
[Guide] Enabling VoLTE/VoWiFi v2 | XDA Developers Forums
I have rooted the phone...
1) download the bootloader unlock from asus support webpage and unlock the bootloader (!!!this wipes your phone!!!)...just select the model and they give you the apk.
2) download twrp custom rom and flash it in fastboot (you need drivers and fasbtoot tool)
3) install magisk apk and use the app to download the proper zip that has to be flashed via custom recovery to enable root
4) having root enabled now you can use the guide above and activate diagnostics (I had to use the remote port option as it would not detect it via USB
5) based on the guide I also used the Xiaomi mi9 mbns (sort of config files for volte and vofi) using my carrier file.
Rebooted and all works now
PS: I had to enable magisk hiding mechanisms to make sure banking apps are working also.
While at this I also added some ad blocking capabilities now that I had to have root
PPS: here is a guide for rooting....(https://www.ytechb.com/how-to-install-xposed-framework-on-android-10/)
for custom recovery (https://dl.twrp.me/I003D/twrp-3.5.0_10-0-I003D.img.html)

With the new update to a12, here in USA a lot of users can make or receive any phone call. with the A11 not issues. Any idea how we can fix this issue ? My phone is not rooted.
