* Simple Root Guide for Galaxy S3 *

[Yas786]

So manually updating the firmware as im rooted, will that mean i will have to re-root my phone and install all the mod/hacks that i had on the phone??. Also will i lose my apps and settings??.

I remember doing it last time a new firmware came out but cant remember if i lose all my stuff when rooted.

Anyone know??

Any OSX instructions?

Sounds ridiculously easy. I'll give it a shot later.

Question: This isn't going to wipe the phone, is it?

Finally, what's all this 'Triangle Away' and talk of a counter?

Thanks for the simply awesome guide . Just rooted my S3 on to some PS3 controller gaming .

Is that another rom? Or part of the process

Its a Whole ROM,

Just download the rom to the phone, or on your mac then transfer it to your memory card and Flash with CWM that was installed when you rooted, just choose flash update zip and point it to where you have saved the rom.

Gulp! Do I have to save and copy all my apps back after, just doing a rooter titanium backup now to the 32gb SD card I had delivered earlier today...

Would hate to shag my phone and spend hour sorting it out again

Thanks Mart

I use go backup to save all my apps, sms & everything else but backup which whatever you feel best

Does it restore everything as was, email accounts, contacts etc?

Just done a CWM backup actually and that seemed to work well

Thanks

 

[JAMAL]

IIRC yes, Cwm backup is great as if anything goes wrong you can just restore that back in recovery and you will be back to how you are now.

So I can flash and restore with CWM on different rom versions

 

[JAMAL]

Yeah you can restore from anything and it will be back to how it was when you backed up

Super!

How do I download it then, keeps showing a timer asking for a phone number to be entered which I'm not liking the look of?

At work so torrent is a no no...

 

[JAMAL]

ah i always use torrent but the phone number thing i've seen people say press cancel and it will let you download it anyway.

Edit- Red cross top right

Got it, downloading now, is this rom that good?

Thanks

 

[JAMAL]

Omega V23 is really good, really impressed.

I'm a long term omega user so have been keeping upto date on it.
