Hi,
I flashed a stock rom 4.3 on my i9305 but now i can't root it. I think their is a problem with "Knox". Do you have a solution ?
I tried CF Auto Root with Odin (success but nothing happens), downgrade to 4.1.2 (failed), install manually SU (it says i'm not root), installed Degrated_Shadow's_KNOX_removerV2.1 (failed).
Thank you.
Cf-auto root worked for me w/ knox bootloader , it asked me to remove/freeze knox and i allowed it and it didnt remove root
Ofc warranty was voided but doesnt matter

I had the same problem , I ended up downloading the latest supersu and installing in the settings > system install supersu into /system . I guess you are using a root checker
I tried again cf auto root + update supersu binaries and i can't download them because i'm not root. I tried to install Supersu from /system and same problem.
Anyone ?
I found the solution !! It works with Kingo Android Root ! My i9305 is root, SuperSU installed and Knox desactivated
hey guys, i have my i9305 rooted via CF auto root and it works fine.
after rooting i downloaded the latest supersu and installed. i opened supersu and it asked to update the su binary so i did and then
it asked me that knox was detected and if i wanted to disable it and did that to everything was oke. did a check with root checker all fine..

Quick and easy steps to root S3 4G:
Step 1: Download Odin (Can be v3.04 to v3.07). Download the CF-Auto-Root file. Extract the CF-Auto-Root (.tar.md5 file) onto your desktop.

Step 4: Now, connect the phone to your Windows computer/laptop. (Connect the USB cable to your phone first then to your computer.) Let it detect your phone. In the Message Box (located at the bottom left corner of Odin), you should see "Added!!" there. Now, click on START. Wait for like 5 seconds or so and you're done! The rectangular box (close to the top left of Odin) should say PASS! with a green background. In the message box, you should see "Removed!!" at the end. Disconnect your phone now.
Step 5: You should see at the bottom of this script "Rebooting in 10 sec...". Let it reboot. You're DONE! Your device is finally rooted!

Things to note when rooting.
Your phone warranty will be voided meaning samsung won't held responsible for your rooted phone if you decide to send your phone to them if there is any hardware problem.
If you still want to root it, here goes:
1. Download the stock firmware of your phone on sammobile (depends on your country and service provider)
2. Put your phone into download mode (off and on your phone. When it goes to Samsung title screen, press home, off and volume down button at the same time.)
3. Connect your pc to your phone and open odin.
4. Check and see if the message shows pass.
5. Under bootloader, open the md5 file that you downloaded before.
6. Start and wait till it finish.
7. Check your phone and reconfigure as if you have a new phone.
EDIT: This will reformat your phone to the stock rom that Samsung has.
If you want to use custom rom, there are a lot of roms that can be found here:

Sorry but this is not the way to root a i9305 dude, your just telling him to install a stock rom that he already has. he needs to root it.
Noob friendly explanation for rooting i9305 with CF auto root
warranty will be void hereby. steps to root the phone in this order:
* download Odin3 v3.09 here, right click and ''open as administrator'' on your pc
* download CF auto root for i9305 here and unzip it to get the CF auto root .tar md5 file
* in Odin, in the option section you should check the boxes of auto reboot / F. reset time and uncheck re-partition!!
* enable usb debugging in your device in developer options, if you dont see developer options, go to ''about phone'' and tap the buildnumber 7 times and developer options should be visible now (this part is not strictly necessary, just in case if your device is not recognized by pc or odin)
* turn off device now, and put it in odin downloadmode by pressing and holding VOLUME DOWN - HOME - POWER buttons at the same time till you see the ''samsung galaxy sIII GT-i9305'' text, then you let go the buttons and it will boot into downloadmode
* in odin, click AP button and select the CF auto root .tar md5 file that you have extracted earlier
* now connect your i9305 to pc with usb cable (in odin under message box, it should say added!)
* now your ready to hit START button, after finished your device will reboot and will be rooted There is a chance that after reboot some message like ''supersu has stopped'' will popup, DONT worry read further...
after you have rooted the device, there will be a app called ''SuperSU''. but its a older version of the app and its ''SU binary'' needs to be updated. go to playstore and under my apps search for supersu, it should state that it needs to be updated, do that and restart your phone
configure the settings of supersu after the reboot as you like.
for deleting or freezing some apps, download Titanium Backup app (pro version recommended for optimal usage) from playstore. open it and supersu will ask you for permission, grand it and your ready to delete or to freeze apps.
Thats all
You can root with:
POOT: This app is a one click root app. No computer needed

Dude why you never do any research before asking? There are tutorial on how to root S3 everywhere, yes, I mean EVERYWHERE!
@nikctsh can you send me a link?
I'm a newbie with the rooting and custom rom installation, I've actually never done one before attempting in on my phone a SM-G730A mini S3, I have searched online and was unable to find the factory rom for this device or instructions how to install.
I was able to root my phone using king root, Then I started removing all the factory programs that ill never used. It was great until a few days ago I removed 2 programs that affected my phone operates. It now gets stuck on the at&t screen when powering on, but the funny thing is that if someone calls me, the screen pops up for me to answer.
Issues with my phone: gets stuck on at&t screen, no home screen at all, only way to access apps is through S voice.
I first started looking into the custom rom because I wanted wi-fi calling since the phone signal is low on this phone. I appreciate any help on this. Thanks

I think you should reflash your current firmware version via Odin3. You can get stock ROMs from sammobile.com/firmware. You will lose your root access and you will get these system apps back what you deleted before.
I download it to my SD card and then what? excuse my newbie questions
those stock roms from sammobile youll need to flash via odin / heimdall

Firmwares from SamMobile are only flashable via Odin3 on your PC/Laptop. Move your downloaded firmware to your PC/Laptop and unzip it. Move the ...HOME.tar.md5 file to your desktop.
1. Now download Odin3 and install the drivers for your phone.
2. Open Odin3 as Admin to avoid errors or "Fail" messages while flash. (If you use Windows XP then open Odin like always) and make sure only "Auto reboot" and "F.reset" are checked.
4. Close all Samsung Kies process in task manager to avoid errors. (ignore this if you don't have Kies installed)
5. Tap on PDA/AP and choose the ...HOME.tar.md5 file (wait until Odin finish check the MD5 check sum)
6. Now on your phone. Turn off your device. Then hold volume down + home button + power button till you see a "Warning!!" screen and continue with volume up.
7. Connect your device to your PC/Laptop via USB.
8. Wait until Odin detect your device. (You will see a blue box) If your PC/Laptop install the drivers again then wait a moment.
9. If everything is OK then you can start flashing. (A flash process take up to 10 Min, so be patient)
10. Now your phone should reboot and you're done.
Don't forget you will lose ROOT access and you will get your system apps back what you deleted before.
DO IT AT YOUR OWN RISK.

You probably uninstalled touchwiz. You can try installing a theme from the app store that might work.
Newbie Help
I am getting ready to do a first attempt at rooting on a Samsung S3 mini, G730A. I don't know how to get the Samsung USB driver onto the desktop because I'm not sure where it's actually located. I downloaded the Samsung Driver Zip and it's loaded on my C: drive but didn't find anything is there that seemed specific to that phone. I did locate what appears to be the generic Android device USB driver for this phone through Device Manager and put that on the desktop but not sure that is the one that I'll need when I go root. Any suggestions?
Thanks

HERE : i think this will help you out , but be patience and use common sense when rooting also I AM JUST HERE TO HELP , so DO NOT BLAME ME IF YOU BRICK YOUR PHONE , BUT I CAN SAY THAT IF YOU FOLLOW STEPS YOU WON`T HAVE ANY TROUBLE,
DO DOWNLOAD ESSENTIALS BEFORE FOLLOWING STEPS, FIRTS READ ALL THEN MAKE YOU MIND HOW TO DO IT :
1: ORIGINAL FIRMWARE FROM HERE you will need it to extract original kernel after rooting, or if something goes wrong when rooting
2: SAMSUNG USB DRIVER FOR WIN/MAC.
Make sure that you have backup the data, apps and settings from your Samsung device such as SMS, MMS, Call Logs, Contacts, Images, Audios, Videos, Bookmarks, Wi-Fi, APN settings and MMS settings etc as this process is going to wipe every data from your device.
3. Check of security suites such as antivirus and firewall whether they are disabled on your Computer.
4. You need to turn on the Enable USB Debugging on your Samsung Galaxy S i9070. This can be done simply by following the path ‘Settings > Applications > Development > USB debugging’ and ticking the USB Debugging option box.
5. Please put your battery in charge and make sure that it was charged to at least 80%.
Advice: Before going to start the root process you must go to phone settings->click about phone and look for basedband version number. Note down that number in notepad and save it on the desktop.
Steps and Procedure for Rooting Samsung Galaxy S Advance I9070:
1. Download working ODIN FROM HERE AND Working root package only I9070 from attachement to PC.
2. Once you have downloaded the file, then you need to extract the zip file in the PC.
3. After extraction is done.
4. Launch the Odin application in the computer.
5. Turn off the device in order to enter into download mode. For that do like this press and hold the Volume Down + Home buttons together and Power On the device simultaneously. After 1 min you will get a download mode with green android robot image.
6. Connect your device to the Computer via USB data cable while Odin is open. Once your device get connected, ID:COM section turns yellow in colour. If it doesn’t than you need to reconnect your device.
7. In Odin tool you need to two select two files into their respective fields.
NOW YOU WIL ALSO BE NEEDING A PIT FILE , i have attached both version 8gb and 16 gb PIT FILE choose from there if 8gb then 8gb and vice-versa
8.Click PIT tab and then select the GT-I9070_EUR_XX_8G/16GB.pit file from the extracted folder.
Once you selected the file left side Re-partition filed will be tick marked automatically. So you need to uncheck it manually. For more idea see the below picture.
b) Click PDA section and then select the rootkernel.tar.md5.
c) You need to uncheck all other option except ‘Auto Reboot’ and ‘F Reset Time’.
Click on ‘Start’ button and wait for the process to get completed. The Samsung Galaxy S device will reboot automatically.
9. Now you must try to install Superuser and Busybox from Google Play Store . Once you installed both apps then your device will be rooted successfully. check using root checker app.
Time to switch back to stock original kernel basedband firmware version number. Because above we used kernel for rooting the device have some problems like sudden reboots and lags. So that you need to install exact kernel to the device again. BUT IF YOU DO NOT WANT TO DO ALL THAT , JUST INSTALL ANY CUSTOM ROM / CM11 /cm10 etc ,which has tuned own kernel you will not be needing any of this in the follwoing steps.
HERE READ THIS XDA FORUM TO EXTRACT YOUR ORIGINAL FIRMWARE KERNEL
AFTER THAT AGAIN FOLLOW STEPS
1. Run the Odin application again in the PC.
2.Turn off the device and Boot into Download mode. For that press and hold the Volume Down + Home buttons together and Power On the device.
3. Connect the device to PC via USB cable.
4. Click on PDA tab and select the file which you downloaded recently. I selected (YOURKERNEL).tar.md5 .
5. Click on Start and the process will be completed. The device will be reboot automatically.
That’s it your device is rooted perfectly without any problems. In case if you find any issues with above procedure comment here:good:
good luck

couldn't find PDA on Odin3 v3.10, i installed with Odin3 v1.87 and i got bootloop after step 8c
@knurd : in latest version PA is same as PDA , AND DID ODIN SHOWED SUCCESS after finishing installation of root kernel ?
if you getting boot loop just go to recovery ,clear/delete cache and reboot 99 out of 100 times it solves bootloop.

Hello,
Sorry if this question is asked before, I did search actually in the forum, but couldn't find anything clear.
I got a lenovo k3 note, but it has some annoying apps installed which may be infected.
Apps such:
I love wallpaper
Caller ID
Twitter
MaxxAudio
Clean Master
DU battery saver
Browser (it seems there are two installed)
probably more....
All these apps are installed in the system so they can not be uninstalled directly. so rooting is a must in this case I guess (i'm newbie in these things)
So the main question is how can this phone be rooted?
Thanks in advance.
Lenovo K3 Note
I am also facing same problem. Any help?
It is wired that I can not disable any pre-installed app. Is this an issue in Android 5.0? Can someone please help?
It is easy to root this wonderful smartphone :
1/ Go here and download the CWM recovery v6.0.5.1 : http://pan.baidu.com/s/1mguuByg
2/ Flash it with SPFlashTool. Important : you must to check the option "DA DL All with Checksum" otherwise it will not boot!
3/ root : reboot to CWM recovery and install the supersu update zip : https://download.chainfire.eu/696/SuperSU/
4/ Gapps: reboot to CWM recovery and install google gapps 5.0 minimal : http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/software/gapps-google-apps-minimal-edition-t2943330
Here where you can find the last official roms : http://www.vibeui.com/vibeui/rom?key=k3 note
After flashing an official rom, you have to redo all those steps.
I don't think the phone will be rooted in that way. I did red that before. I do have access to CWM, in Chinese language unfortunately, but the phone is not rooted.
I root it this way many times
The recovery I give you is in English and china, you must choose your language at the beginning.

Hi,
I rooted my Lenovo K3 Note just yesterday (received it on tuesday) and had the same problem (Twitter + User Experience with viruses [checked with ESET] ).
This topic helped me quite a lot, but I still had some trouble flashing the phone.
If it can help you, here is a link to what I did : chinasmartphonereview.com/lenovo-lemo-k3-note-recovery-google-service/
Since I had to tweak the process a bit, here is what I did :
Download MT6752 Flash Tool and MT6752 USB Driver (see link above)
Install USB Driver and reboot PC (just to be sure)
Unzip Flash tool and choose flash_tool.exe
Run Flash Tool, Option – Download – “DA DL All with Checksum” must be ticked on
Click Scatter-loading-Choose MT6752_Scatter (CWM recovery folder)
Tick the Recovery (if it's not already ticked)
Turn off Phone and Remove Battery, Remove SD-Card, SIM Card
Plug-in USB Cable to PC (USB Port) – Phone to PC
Press POWER for a couple of seconds
Choose Download and Click Download (Flash tool)
Reinsert Battery
If Unsuccessful (Red Bar) – repeat from step Turn off Phone and Remove Battery, Remove SD-Card, SIM Card
Once it was done, I installed SuperSU and an app to remove those troublesome viruses (for example : "Easy Uninstaller" on the play store).
Hope it helps...
Still, many thanks to dreambo

I had to try several times in order to successfully do it.
I don't know if it changes anything but, did you activate the "USB Debugging" ? I activated it on my last try...
My main problem was linked to the drivers : my computer had a hard time using the right ones (always checking Windows Update, had to disable it).
When it worked, I just pressed the power button, released it, inserted the battery and clicked "Download" in the next 5 sec. My computer used the right drivers, everything went smoothly (CMW installed in less than 5 sec with a big green symbol that I was REALLY happy to see).
If it doesn't trigger in the first 10sec, it failed : you can unplug your USB, shutdown your phone, remove the battery and repeat the process (press the power button, release it, plug the USB cable, insert battery, press Download).
Just keep an eye on your drivers to make sure Windows is using the ones you have installed...
Hope it helps...

Done.
Sorry for asking what has already been asked, but just to clarify (because I have followed the above steps),
Do I insert the battery after I press download, or after it's finished? Neither seems to work. I insert the battery after pressing download, and get the battery meter showing on the screen and some chinese writing. If I press the screen, the phone boots up?
Does quick/fast boot need to be turned off?
How do I tell the flash program which drivers to use?
If I'm waiting a few minutes after each try, is that long enough?
EDIT: Got it working on a different PC. Having the same issue as XPSrobs now. Can't install Superuser and root check is saying it's not rooted, however CWM is installed.
EDIT: re-read the post from dreambo on the first page:

It seems that you have not install the drivers (VCOM drivers, it is special drivers that works only with SPFlashTool).
The drivers is the step the more important and more difficult
The drivers enter in action only if, the phone is completely off and then we plug it to the USB port.
Some times we have to do exactly those steps :
0- install correctly the drivers, if not already done.
1- unplug the phone from USB
2- turn completely off the phone
3- extract the battery from the phone (for me and my lenovo k3 note this step is not necessary, no need also to extract SIM or SDCARD)
4- Press the download button in SPFlashTool
5- plug the phone to USB
6- place the battery in the phone.
Immediately after this last step, the phone is detected by SPFlashTool, even if it is turned off !
It must always works, if not it's a drivers issue! (there is many tutorials to install drivers for SPFlashTool)
not forget also to get the latest version off SPFlashTool, because the MT6752 is a recent SOC : see here http://mtk2000.ucoz.ru/load/soft/soft_mtk/sp_flash_tool/5-1-0-14
It does seem to have worked now, the program was doing stuff and I got a message with 'download succeeded' and a big green checkmark.
However, it still doesn't seem to be rooted, nor can I find a way to boot into recovery. I'm probably being a big blithering idiot, but I can't find any mistakes I made and I did all the described steps.
Any suggestions?
anyone try this guide? it looks much simpler
http://www.how-to-root.club/2015/04/lenovo-k3-note-7147.html
or someon try "RootGenius.exe" app ? it worked for me on coolpad f1 and on some other chinese phones.

I agree, it doesn't look very legit.
I'm still having no luck using the method on here. I think Dreambo is right, and that I may just have an issue with drivers, although I can't quite figure out what I'm missing.
