Hai jaycee,

Hi Zai, try to install CF-Root again.
hi jaycee,
yes. i have try 2 times but still unroot.
Weird… Try to consult Chainfire Developer at XDA website then.
hello jayce n zai..
zai i want to ask something..
how u know ur device still unroot
hello hola..
directory bind cannot work.. clockworkmod recovery CWM not install in my device..tq
Hey zai, i have the exact same problem as you mentioned above. Did you manage to root your phone?
Lots of user said JB firmware cannot be root using CF root 6.4,hope next CF Root version will fix it.Other method to try is using SAMSUNG GALAXY S3 TOOLKIT V5.0 by mskip.
hi Jayce,
i used CF 6.4 and when i open CWM it says “This version of CWM should be used with CF-CWM v1.1 or newer. It appears u are running a different recovery. Various features have been disabled.”
Plzzz heeeeelp…
Hi mao, can you boot into CWM directly?
same problem here but i managed to boot in recovery mode and made a full backup…
Yes i can boot to CWM directly
Then use CWM to do all the stuffs. It is the same as CWM Manager.
Hai Jayce…
One more thing after i install JB 4.1. (Poland). My S3 cannot change CSC code.
You can’t change if it has Poland CSC only. Unless it has multi CSC.
u’re doing a good job 😉 keep it up! u’re helping thousands all over the world…
hi, jaycee, im wondering when is the sgs3 in ‘our’ region/area getting the official update…
afraid to use odin n stuff. Or is it our region not considered major market enough to receive it.
Should be this month. Else next month…
Hi Jayce.. hoping you can help me.
1. Bricked my s3 sgh 1747M
2. Can boot into recovery mode or download mode
3. Wiped all factor data – everything
4. Tried to install ROM from external sd card – android man fell over dead
5. Reinstalled CWM 10 and Superuser from external sd card, no problem
6. Still cannot flash a ROM
Any thoughts? I am getting desperate, and going slightly crazy.
Sorry John, I don’t have this model. No idea. Try to consult others at XDA Forum.

Thanks Jayce, after a nightmarish 14 hours I finally got the phone working.
tested the jellybean before it was released over here in finland, then decided to go back to the stockfirmware. now the jb is officially released and i can download it fine with my phone BUT, once it starts installing it, android dude falls over looking dead *sad*. Any idea what i can do ? do i have to flash some other countrys jb and what would be the best to keep track on.
Hi Harry, can you still load recovery and Odin Download mode?
yeah. it didnt hurt the phone at all it works like normal … it just didnt update it. pretty odd.
Try again then. You should be able to install back your own stock firmware.
Hi Jaycee,
I have installed my Samsung USB driver onto my computer, but the yellow image still doesn’t show up in Odin when I launch it.

I got the driver from this link.
What should I do?
Thanks,

Hi James, you can try to use Samsung Kies USB driver. Or try on other PC.
Thanks!

Hi,
I have just one more question!
The samsung auto-software updater won’t let me update now that it is rooted. Do I just update manually or do I have to unroot 1st?
Many many thanks.
Hi james, you need to use Samsung Kies to upgrade.
Hi Jayce,
Greetings from India.
I had rooted my samung galaxy SIII i9300 yesterday with Odin 1.85 and CF-Root-SGS3-v6.4.
It was a clean root,I was very happy.I did not have any problem.
I then started experimenting around.
I did a backup with the ROM manager app of the present system.
Then I downloaded CYNOGENMOD 10 nightly directly from ROM manager and flashed it using that app.
After flashing the ROM,I had a bootloop problem as I did not wipe the date & factory reset (which I read about after the flashing process).
Somehow I got back into recovery and using the backup I flashed the ROM and my phone started running back in the normal state before the CYONGENMOD.
Now I have rooted phone running the ROM as before,quite stable.
Only problem that I found is that I get this error when I open CWM app.”This version of CWM Manager should be used with CF-CWM v1.1 or newer. It appears you are running a different recovery. Various features have been disabled”.
But I am able to boot into recovery using this app and the ROM MANAGER APP.
So my queries are:
1)What the consequences of this problem,should I just ignore it,What are the”various features” that are diabled?
2)When I flash some other ROM will I have a problem?
3)Will there be any problem to unroot the phone?
4)What is the best ROM available according to you out there?
Thank you.
Waiting for your reply.
1. I don’t use CWM Manager nor ROM Manager. Boot into recovery mode instead.
2. Depend. Mostly okay if flash properly.
3. No.
4. I am using Android Revolution HD ROM currently.

Hi
Which is the best custom rom at present?
For s3
Which one u r using at present?
Still using the very same version as above. 🙂
Hi Jaycee,
I have rooted my s3 to android revolution HD.
The root was successful.
There are two folders sdcard0 and extsdcard.
I find that all the programs that I had before root are stored in sdcard0 evethough I have done a wipe data and factory reset.
Is it possible to remove all the data in sdcard0 so that I can have a clean install of applications.Of course only the data is present in sdcard0 there is no corresponding app installed.
What should I do?
Can i remove all the data in the sdcard0.?
There is also a 0 folder that contains the previously installed apps before root.
Yes, you can delete all of them to have a clean start.
