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:

This is most likely the Asian version and WILL BRICK YOUR PHONE!!!.
In case you haven't heard of me, I've been helping a lot around the Atrix 2 community. Then when i bricked it, at&t ran out of Atrix 2s and gave me and Atrix HD instead. Since then, I've been hiding in the shadows so I won't look like a n00b.
I'll take a look at this.

There is the link just press the white button that says "下载" and download.

Started the download but its crawling along even on 20mbps connection.
Im no Deve though. Still the link I posted is a downgrade for US ATT phones!
IF that really works then we are saved even if JB isnt rooted ever!
So check it out as well. It uses QPST to fix bricked phones from the translated english I could make out.
i tried it
I tried no brick but it wouldnt come out of fastboot. Flashed back to 4.1.1 because it wouldn't let me flash to ICS either.
What method did you try.
The root or the rollback?
IDK anything yet,

In China they sell them with unlocked bootloaders out of the box, don't even have to unlock them lol
So what's that mean for us Matt? While you LOL we wait anxiously for any hope of root.
Kinda figures the chinese hackers would be better than us
Since no one brought this up. This is form the chinese forum specificaly for ATT phones and rolling back.
We have to be able to get something from this. Here is the translated forum post and thread link.
http://bbs.gfan.com/android-5675929-1-1.html
Thread Title Translates into "[Experience] 4.1 downgrade to 4 and then root then OTA upgrade to 4.1 and then delete the at&t official app"
From the forums found this address http://item.taobao.com/item.htm?spm=a1z09.5.0.40.sdQ42d&id=15839118382 Taobao bought mb886
Hand of machine comparison simple, no packaging box, no headset, no HDMI line (does not clearly full of should is what sample), only machine, and line and charger, Hou cover see with somewhat rough, words see does not Qing (just carefully see has see, original is has layer film, tore has lot has), however I is doesn't matter, 1500 Yuan, buy this machine of principles originally is enough on line, on figure a CrystalTalk.
Hand machine is 4.1.1 Chinese, no locked bootloader, you have root, Forum of Chinese-speaking fees, useful original and I try not to toss the habit
http://sbf.droid-developers.org/dinara/list.php
4.1.1 under firmware, installed the pre-release driver according to RSD brush machine for tutorials in the forums.
All the best, starting with a long time feels good, but too many app at&t too tired, and would also like to buy things with market unlocker (because they do the Internet for many years, never trusting any app store in the country, even before the official market is entering into the definition, 4 well after some), there is the root idea.
Forums and XDA-pass, and found that we cannot root, downgrading is dangerous, but don't see a post saying who try to downgrade the bricks.
Worked, we said that it would lose IMEI, use QPST out IMEI spare.
Then download from the above address 7.7.1Q-144_MB886_MR1-22_SIGNED_CFC.xml.zip (also need to modify the XML file, remove the GetVar two lines),
After the wipe (can be a feeling, first wipe wipe cache has been contained), RSD flush, when brush is also very worried about bricks, but smoothly brushed inside, after the restart, settings, found that IMEI in, not lose it? Also use QPST and search a bit, 550.
Opens the developer options the first use debug and unknown sources of security, from: http://Forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1940594 motofail2go_ Windows.zip, implementation extracted run.bat, follow the prompts to root successfully, and then go to play store updated superuser, updated into superuser update Su
And then go to play Voodoo store installed OTA rootkeeper, or you can download from its official, http://DL.project-Voodoo.org/apps/, after install, backup root, and then UN-root, and then restore against each, several times, confirm no problem.
Enter the settings of the system update, start the download update package, download fast, faster than play app store synchronization, waited until all the app is installed, system update again to begin the update the update succeeds, IMEI (wrong ... ... ), But discovered that 4.0.4 with real racing2 does not know how ... ...

Is there a chance that the custom roms can be used in these china versions? I am tired of the blinkfeed screen and would like a custom rom installed to get rid of this. Not sure if these roms can be used without destroying 2 sim card support.
thanks.
just install a different launcher if you dont want blinkfeed
I'm not sure whether ROMs will work on your variant (but I'd guess that they would) but as long as you're rooted with a custom recovery installed then you could always try it and see if you can install them or not. Of course, just make sure that you make a backup beforehand so if anything goes wrong, you can make sure that you can recover your phone to a working state.
You don't actually need to install a custom ROM to get rid of blinkfeed though. If you take a look at Q12 on the HTC One FAQ, you'll see that there are 2 ways you can "get rid" of blinkfeed without needing to install a ROM.
*NOTE* As this is a question, you shouldn't have posted your thread in the development section. I've just asked a moderator to move your thread to the Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting forum. Please remember to use that section if you have any further questions.

So far all 3 recovers in one forum can not be flahsed into One 802w. So there is no way to root it at this moment.

The HTC store is absolutely useless. There are so many things that are not available on it. But if you bought this phone in China, then you have no choice as the Play Store and any Google services are banned. I had to install a custom tweaked ROM that had google services on it to enable everything again.
Hi there,
I just purchase HTC ONE M7 802W (china unicom version with 2 simcard)
But Since I Need google framework (google appslaystore, map, gmail, google contact etc etc etc more importantly, I live in Indonesia)
Then I guess I need to install the google apps into my HTC one.
The question is:
Is it possible to install the google apps without flashing
Rooted 802w from Shenzhen?
May you let me know if I could buy one from your friend in Shenzhen rooted?
I am very interested.
Hi guys, I know you have tons of rules here and I tried my best to respect all of then by searching for a thread containing info on what in looking for but I couldn't find one. I rooted my phone a couple of years back and have been flashing various ROMs since. About a week ago however I flashed an unofficial android 4.3 ROM by CyanogenMod and after that once I discovered how buggy it was (as per the developer's warning) I decided to flash something else. However I couldn't access my recovery menu no matter what I tried and it looks like I've list root but I can't be sure of that. Ask the root apps aren't working and I got a toast from one of them saying you need root access to use this. Right now what I want is a way to either reroot or maybe there's a simpler way of solving this problem. If I could access the recover mode menu I could use the conventional way of rooting but right now I can't even di that. I'd really appreciate a solution if any of you could take the time out to give me one. Thanks so much and I really hope to hear from you.

To be really honest I'm not sure whether it was his ROM or not since I got it from a YouTube instructional video. There was a direct download link. Do you think you could please do me a favor and point me in the right direction to the solution? Losing my mind here since it's so buggy

This Is My First Shot at making something for this device,so please bear with me.
This Is A Custom Stock ROM that has been debloated and slimmed down a bit to my personal liking.
ive used SuperR's Kitchen on Ubuntu to bring this to you guys.
i used Captain_Throwbacks Metro Base ROM as a starting point.
i will include my list of apps that i have removed in the second post.
i would suggest a factory reset and dalvik/ART wipe
as always,if your device explodes or stops working,i assume no responsibility for any damages or data loss.
flash at your own risk.
if anyone has any suggestions and/or input,please feel free.
im no developer,just taking a shot at this.
the goal is to remove as much bloatware as possible,whilst maintaining stability.
:highfive:
i added /data/app support as well as busybox & deodexed the ROM.
im currently uploading my first build to google drive and will share links shortly.
bear with me as i dont have the best internet connection.

TO DO List:
edit updater script to change out rom title
check what works and what does not
(Possibly) remove More files/Free up more space
upload newer build as first one fail with status 7 in recovery.(assert error)
Check my build and compare to yours to see what can be removed. I'm sure you will find a lot more that can be done.
when will a working link be available? very excited for this rom

sweet. finally a flashable rom for our metro variant. was debating on trying nightbreed's rom, as someone mentioned in that thread that they tried it and it worked. didn't want to kill the phone though as it is a daily driver. will report after using.

Yeah it's required
Just looking at channel log I'm assuming this is still relevant. I'm on V3 and with some frustration (I don't have Wi-Fi and had to trick my 6yr old laptop to boot up) I got it running well.
As someone who has hard bricked smart phones since the xv6800, this is a first good go. Inspires me to start cooking my own roms.
Suggestion: A file browser would have made it so much smoother. No one with half a brain will ***** about es file explorer or root browser being cooked in. Fortunately bad habits inspired me to always backup original stock. Most people would've been screwed there. Dirty flash. Pdanet. Got it all up and going.
Keep up the good work. Look forward to any tweakings you find out of my league
Sincerely,
Satisfied end user

Thank you for the input,much appreciated.also,i updated OP with a newer build that uses nova launcher as default and puts back a few apks that got cutout by mistake.
My phone got simlocked after trying this ROM. It's still locked even after restoring the nanodroid backup I made prior to flasing this ROM.
I'm not in the US sooo I am not using sprint.
Any advice?
Thanks

This ROM is based off of the original Stock MetroPCS USA variant,i didnt add anything that would potentially affect your simlock status.ive only removed stuff that was already there.
If youre not in the US and youre not using MetroPCS Variant of the phone,you shouldnt be flashing this ROM to be 100% honest.flashing incompatable firmwares across devices can sometimes lead to bricks.whats your Carrier and device?

That APK will just crash,as the required lib files etc to accompany the APK are missing.

I agree. It's very unusual.
I got this phone from a local phone shop. The owner seem to have unlocked the phone with some kind of service. I contacted my carrier who wrote down a couple of numbers from inside the phone (including the original phone number) and boom, I was able to use the phone with my number.
I have a theory about the error. Maybe you could see if that makes sense:
Maybe the phone isn't locked. But after a factory reset it keeps trying to "activate" the phone using the methods given by sprint.
There's this one step during the initial setup (right after factory resetting the phone) where it tries to register the phone, and fails. This step takes at least tem minutes and returns an error that locks up the phone.
I think the phone assumes that it's locked because it's not able to "reach" sprint servers and denies all incoming and outgoing calls/messages because of this.
If you know a way out of this please let me know.
Another user also provided me with an app that seems to be solving the issue. But it's not marshmallow compatible. Any ideas on that one as well?
Thanks a lot. And great debloating work you did there

Again,what is your Carrier?if youre using anything other than MetroPCS USA,you should not use this ROM.thats #1.#2 is if youre using sprint,you should get the RUU to return the phone to factory software,and i assume youre using sprint because our Metro devices havent gotten MM yet,and you mentioned it.
And yes,CDMA/Sprint phones will not work correctly if theyre not provisioned from the carrier correctly.so if the activation is failing,then youre not going to be able to use the device to send messages etc until its activated correctly.
Suggestion,try using nightbreeds MM ROM thats for those kinds of carriers.

Oh lesson learned. I'm from Yemen and my carrier is YemenMobile (CDMA). I don't know why but I assumed that the phone won't mind the ROM since it was kinda unlocked. SORRY.
The phone was saying Sprint when I bought it. I think I'm going to get back to factory and see if that does the trick. :-/
My extended apologies
