Hey guys, I just bought a Galaxy S 3 SCL21 here in Japan from AU KDDI. It is the 4G LTE, 2GB RAM variant.
So far I have not been able to find a rooting method for this phone. It is currently running ICS 4.0.4 build number IMM76D.SCL21KDALJD.
Any help is appreciated.
I think that's not i9305!

No I'm not going to try that. I will let you know if find something.
that is not the I9305 so i can not reccomend anything in this forum . The I9305 forum deals with GT I9305, I9305N & I9305T model numbers

Hello,
I'm with you in the "SCL21, I need help" department. Some info for you though, the international versions are in fact, very different. and the docomo version is too. DON'T use the docomo root method, it will brick your phone.
you can, however use the TeamEpic CWM recovery method. or the Mskip's Toolkit method. I've used both, and it flashes just fine. The problem I run into, is when I try to boot into recovery...the phone doesn't load. It gets stuck with an upside down SGS III logo. It will load into the normal android though. good luck. and if I come across a good method, I'll let you know. you're not alone.

Standard? What's that?
Yup, I'm there, too. If there's anybody out there with the Japanese AU version that hasn't already made this mistake, it would be great if they could pull the stock recovery from it with Odin... maybe if we had that, we could revive ours. I can still get to download mode, so there's still hope, right?

You might try the following links to restore your phone. I am looking at getting the same phone this month or next, so very curious if anyone succeeds in restoring.

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=23188887&postcount=1
The second link requires an unmodified phone, so you might have to ask around your network and see if anyone can help. Good luck!
---------- Post added at 11:23 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:18 AM ----------
If you happen to be able to restore your phone and wanna give it another crack. Maybe try the CWM all variants tar and see if it gets you any further. Unfortunately I can't post outside links yet, so you'll have to google for it!
Make sure to follow the directions! ;-D
If you guys are wanting to try other cwm root methods, I would choose one of the Qualcomm S4 root methods, namely either the Verizon, Us Cellular or Sprint as those would be the closest to this model. I would certainly doublecheck the partition table first though.
Oh, and if/when you guys do get root, would any of you mind pulling your radio partition? I'm curious about something with it.
Edit: Scratch that. I'm heading over to Samfirmware.com for the files, if you need to ODIN to stock, head over there and you can pull the files to restore your device.
SCL21 Conflicting reports :/
Hi everyone,
I just got the SCL21 about two weeks ago. I think it's really strange that even on the Japanese forums, there is very little info on rooting this model. From everything I've found, some Japanese sites also both say it's OKAY to root using the Docomo SC-06D recovery and Superuser zip while others say that it's NOT safe to use that same method and it will result in a bricked phone. Really odd, conflicting messages!
I know that some people successfully rooted by flashing the SC-06D custom recovery and then Superuser zip. But, it it also seems like many have ended up with a bricked phone while using this "Docomo method". I tried Bin4ry’s Root and Restore v30 but no luck installing Superuser after the ADB push from the Windows command prompt completed.
I just found the Team Epic CWM recovery method but according to Bopatriot, it flashes fine and then won't boot into recovery. Anyone have any ideas why this model phone is so difficult to root successfully?
Thanks guys!
Any Luck?
I was able to find a post somewhere about the stock rom for it that works with the SCL21 phone but, it was still 4.0.4(epic fail). Anyone have any luck finding 4.1+?
Repeat this is I9305 forum no information on other phones .
Try sammobile.com
4.1.2 was officially released for this phone just this week. Grab it OTA or from SamMobile and flash it.
If you need to root, the SC-06D method works fine.

before u upgrade to 20a u had adb drivers installed ? i dont know if u needed them with the older firmware because when i bought it it was already on 20a. My only issue and i couldnt unlock the bootloader was the drivers. after that just one click in the all in one tool , did the work.

well u r not doomed inside a developer forum. i believe as soon as someone see it , will help u.
for now try do what you can do since u have bugs , to help yourself have less bugs. root is fine. if google playstore doesnt work, then download latest gapps and extract them. manually install them in the system->app. go manually delete all dalvic-cache and cache of all apps. reboot and fixed. if u have other bug tell me maybe i have an idea to help to that too until u find a solution to the bootloader problem.
---------- Post added at 11:45 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:40 PM ----------
also there are replacement apps for the original 20b. maybe u cant unlock the easy way , maybe u cant install other rom, but definately u can modify the original rom the way u like it, manually. u can use alternative launcher, alternative task manager, alternative everything. modify the status bar. u can do magic if u have time to spend !!!

yeah i know but how i install gapps in adb since i only have instal update thru adb and i dont have the dalvik cache option,and yesterday my recovery became unrecoverable,it appears the LG logo and some red words saying "critical boot failure unrecoverable bootloader error" and know i cant eve go to the sw update option since it only appears that error...it sucks man,samsung never gave that much of problems i had a s3 mini and it was ultra custumized......but got mugged...and lucky me i found this phone in a fair with used produtcs...buyed,and later i saw it was a development phone and not a retail and never saw the man who sold me,it must be some kind of punishment hehe..

you didnt get what i said. u will do it manually. to have a button and do it all isnt manually -.-
i say again. fix your bugs manually ! u r rooted right ? u said that. then use a root explorer ! download latest gapps released at 21/08, open your root explorer, extract them. go to extracted ~system/app , copy / paste in your system / app the apks , navigate to data/dalvik-ache or cache/dalvik-cache delete all of those files. then go to cache or to your task manager and delete all app cache. reboot. thats it. this was fixed. the same way u can download mods or alternative apps, install them manually, delete the originals if u dont want them ( first disable them and test if the alternatives work ) , reboot. its easy. the system apps that need root access always go to system/app and the odex is created automatically after reboot.

Okay, so I finally decided to ditch AT&T and go full Paranoid (This is not my first flashing attempt with Android devices). Got the latest version, etc. Load into BootStrap and wipe everything. Go to install PA and for some reason I had neglected to tell my build.prop (ro.product.device/name) is supposed to be "jactivelteatt"/"jactivelteuc" and not "SN-M9009". So when I started the flash process, immediate error and now I'm stuck with a phone with no OS or bootloader and can not, for the life of me, find a ROM to flash with .MD5 or .TAR that will work with ODIN. I did find "Oneclick_I537UCUAMF1" that gets all the way to the end and fails. Tried multiple times with multiple cables.
Please if anyone has any idea's, please help.

Oh god are you on the US version (SGH-I537)? If you're on the international version (I9295) ignore this post but otherwise, you need to read and take in my short rant. Trust me I wish this weren't the case, but it is, and it's important:
The Galaxy S4 Active i537 has a locked bootloader. There is no way around this, no ifs ands or buts. You simply cannot flash custom ROMs or recoveries. That's it, end of story as far as CM, CWM, AOSP and such things are concerned. That being said there is a sort of recovery called SafeStrap which you can use to make nandroid backups, flash mods and STOCK-BASED roms, but it's not a true custom recovery in the sense that we had been used to, because of this locked bootloader nightmare.
OK so I think you're gonna want to check out this thread. It's all about how to install any firmware from download mode, I think you're gonna have to go with NE3 or NH3.
Let me reiterate. NO CUSTOM ROMS. NO CWM. No Paranoid, no cyanogenmod, no AOSP, no crossing go before going directly to jail. Sorry for the stupid joke but seriously, you have got to keep your phone on stock-based roms (of which there are unfortunately few).

I flashed a custom recovery used from one of the other S5 phones but it kept booting into a page that said take it to a Verizon employee. I assume that's because of the bootloader being locked. I installed Flashify with an apk and used that to flash.

I used Flashify to flash a custom recovery image, TWRP. It worked but the device wouldn't boot into the recovery image or even back into the operating system anymore. It went straight to a page telling me to take my phone to Verizon store so Verizon could fix my phone. I tripped something.
I just opened Odin and reflashed 4.4.2 and kept messing around, that fixed my phone.

I was able to get the home screen and notifications but there is this black transparent thing with yellow text that is getting in the way of everything, you can see it in the screenshots. Also because this is Factory Mode apparently there is no lock screen? I've rooted again and am trying to see if I can turn it off for you but here is what I got so far

yes, but if you tried the updated method and it worked with you it wont wipe any thing because that means your bootloader is already unlocked.

sorry for taking me too long to answer. to be honest with you i tried this way over ten times with my phone and some of my friend. for me and some others it worked from the first time bout for others they had to go through the procedure more than one time till they succeeded. and as you see no one in this thread said if they tried it and if it worked smoothly with them or not.

just use the very last method ( if something went wrong )and you will have your phone working as new
i haven't tried it on your basband version. but did you reboot normally to Android first? if you did try to flash twrp again. I'm not sure if it will work with baseband cause as i said i haven't tried it on this update.

Hello,
I am having difficulties about flashing the TWRP recovery. I followed your step #3 procedure and successfully flashed the TWRP then I went to step #4 and I held the [power button] and [vol -] at the same time and selected the recovery option, then the stock recovery shows up instead of TWRP recovery.
My phone info.
Lenovo Phab 2 650M 6.0 Marshmallow
Baseband Verson : PB2-650M_A_V044_170726
Build number: PB2-650M_S040_170725_ROW

same man. there is no way to root this phone :/
as i told you i haven't tried it on the new baseband.
i think it only works with baseband 170406 and earlier.

I actually manage to root the phone after a couple of tries. Thanks Falya.
I have a question tho, how do you install the Xposed framework in this device? I found a installer from the files from the link you provided.

this the best i can do it's very easy to install. just install the apk then choose install, install via recovery, grant supersu and it would reboot by it self then it will be installed
