[GUIDE]Rooting your phone...from your phone [ALL US SGS3] - Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III

Rooting your phone...from your phone (what?!)
DISCLAIMER: I do not expect anything to go wrong as I have personally tested this. However, YOU are choosing to make these modifications to your phone so I DO NOT take responsibility for any damage that may come as a result of using this. If you come back and point the finger at me, I will laugh at you.
If your phone is not an SGS3, this MAY still work for you. I take absolutely NO responsibility either way.
Prerequisites
The following files are attached to this post for convenience. Download and install the apps, download and extract the zip file somewhere convenient.
Superuser by Koush(MUST be this one. You can change it later if you so desire.)
Terminal Emulator by Jack Palevich ( MUST be this one)
Zip file, extracted somewhere convenient

THE GOODS
These generic names will be used:
/path/to/motochopperDir - This is the full path to the extracted motochopper-mobile DIRECTORY or FOLDER. Example: /sdcard/motochopper-mobile (will vary depending on where you extracted the files).
NOTE: After running the script, Motochopper may or may not print "Failed", but the exploit DOES indeed work regardless of this. Make sure you reboot for changes to take effect.

Download the attached zip file AND both apps.
Install Terminal Emulator and Superuser (use a file manager, navigate to the downloaded .apk files and click on each file to install them).
Open up Terminal Emulator and type the following commands. Press the ENTER key after each command.
Code:
cd /path/to/motochopperDir
cat setup.sh > /data/data/jackpal.androidterm/setup.sh
cd /data/data/jackpal.androidterm
chmod 755 setup.sh
./setup.sh /path/to/motochopperDir
From there, my setup.sh script will handle the rest of the process. If you are still unsure, see my sample run below.
Sample run (files were extracted to /sdcard/moto)
Code:
cd /sdcard/moto
cat setup.sh > /data/data/jackpal.androidterm/setup.sh
cd /data/data/jackpal.androidterm
chmod 755 setup.sh
./setup.sh /sdcard/moto

Probably not. I'm assuming that you will have to use ROM Manager to install CWM or TWRP.

I can confirm it works on the latest MD4 4.1.2 stock rom. So any version below that is good.

Hey I tried this on my friend's S3, and the phone is still not rooted after three attempts. On stock MD4 4.1.2. Any thoughts?

Samsung Admire Root....link attached!!!

Has anyone found out how to root this device? A few of us are desperately and patiently waiting for it.
samsung admire
i heard that they are not going to make an apk to root it i have the samsung as well and would love to root it but i dont think it will happen any time soon if at all
Maybe a Dev can put something together that we can maybe push to the file system via ADB?!
I would be fine with this if no apk would be done. I would really like to get this phone rooted. It has a lot of potential without all the crap from Metro.
$$ for developers time.
PLease, any developers?? at this point i wouldnt mind shelling out money for the root. please fellas.
There is someone already working on it. We will keep you guys posted.

maybe you will need to replace the "firmware"folder in that zip with firmware folder of gingerbread for you device
also the same procedure for the "media_profile.xml" in etc...
this could work:
just take that zip in my post, replace firmware folder and the media_profile.xml with the ones of your latest gingerbread...
and follow the installation instructions in my post

look here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=26511647&postcount=428
you can see whats working and whats not working...
you can use the camera_experimental-0.1.zip
but you need to replace the firmware folder and the media_profile.xml in that zip with the ones of the latest gingerbread for your device
and do not forget to follow the installation instructions
for your further development on camera, you can also use these "instructions for camera testers"
(maybe you will add these to post#1 of this topic here)
--------------------------
here are instructions for camera testers:
Few important things:
1. make notes, because we will need it to restore steps.
2. make a logcat:
Code:
adb logcat -d > logcat.txt
if you want, edit logs like that (less logs - easier to read, logs only related with camera):
Linux shell:
Code:
cat ./logcat.txt | grep camera > logcat.new.txt
Windows cmd:
Code:
type logcat.txt | findstr camera > nwelogcat.txt
3. If you will find in log that HAL cannot connect with camera do not post logs, because they are useless
4. Do not zip or rar logs = easier to read on phone
----------------------------------
Additional Links:
You can try files from these phones.
Phones with MSM8255:
- CDMA XPeria Play
- LG Revolution
- HTC Desire S
- Sony xperia mini,mini pro, neo etc - camera works
- My touch 4g - camera works
- Xperia play - camera works
- Htc desire s - camera works
- Huawei honor - official ICS
- Htc one V - no front camera but official ICS
- http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1639634
Thanks to: Spider550 for links, he cannot post here yet.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
if you make a logcat, do not forget to post which files you used.
folders for all files:
do not forget to set permissions for changed files/folders like all other files/folders there... and reboot after all changes you made!
*.so files to /system/lib
media_profile.xml to /system/etc
camera.apk to /system/app
firmware files to /system/firmware (maybe you have to create a folder)
---------
now you can start with testing.
for logcat = shutdown device - boot - start camtests - after that make a logcat directly.

[MOD] Enable Xperia S on-screen buttons (Stock ICS)

Hi, all!
It's my first mod and first thread on XDA, so forgive my mistakes.
I really don't like the Xperia S capacitive buttons. After ask a question about the matter on XDA, I decided to try to do it myself. And after a few hours eating some bits, I could finish my work:
Native ICS on-screen buttons on Xperia S!!!
(See screenshots attached)
Short story:
I started reading this post, that led me to this other post that led me to try to use a tool called apktool. Sadly, apktool seems a little buggy and I decided to modify the framework-res.apk without decompile and recompile it. How? Binary diff. I can't say it was easy, but after a few hours I could modify the apk. In the Long story, on the second post, I'll tell how.
Things you need:
1. Root your device (see this post to learn how to unlock and root)
2. adb installed (or a working recovery)
Things I don't need to say (but I will):
YOU are responsible for any damage this mod could cause in your phone. I did exactly what I described below and it worked for me, but only God can make sure it will work for you. I don't think it's a big deal since you can flash you ROM again in case of any problem.
How to backup:
If you really want to backup your original framework-res.apk, run it before installing:
Code:
[email protected]:~/Android/LT26i$ adb pull /system/framework/framework-res.apk framework-res.apk.bkp
And save the file framework-res.apk.bkp.
It's not very important because you can get this file from the ROM package or from here (link from optik19918).
How to install:
Install this mod is as simple as replace the file /system/framework/framework-res.apk by the modified framework-res.apk. Here follow some options to accomplish that:
Option 1 (via adb):
1. Choose a folder on your computer
2. Download framework-res.apk.
For firmware 6.1.A.0.452:
mediafire
my home (slow link)
For firmware 6.1.A.1.58:
my home (slow link)
For firmware 6.1.A.2.45:
my home (slow link)
3. Run the following steps (I did on Ubuntu Linux, but they are easily translatable to Windows):
Code:
[email protected]:~/Android/LT26i$ adb shell
[email protected]:/ $ su
[email protected]:/ # mount -o remount,rw /system
[email protected]:/ # mkdir /system/tmp
[email protected]:/ # ^D
[email protected]:/ $ ^D
[email protected]:~/Android/LT26i$ adb push framework-res.apk /system/tmp/framework-res.apk
4765 KB/s (15874684 bytes in 3.253s)
[email protected]:~/Android/LT26i$ adb shell
[email protected]:/ $ su
[email protected]:/ $ mv /system/tmp/framework-res.apk /system/framework/framework-res.apk
[email protected]:/ # ls -l /system/framework/framework-res.apk
-rw-rw-rw- shell shell 15874684 2012-06-28 03:58 framework-res.apk
[email protected]:/ # rmdir /system/tmp
[email protected]:/ # mount -o remount,ro /system
[email protected]:/ # ^D
[email protected]:/ $ ^D
[email protected]:~/Android/LT26i$ adb reboot
4. Wait your phone to restart
5. Thanks me by clicking 'Thanks' button below
6. Say some bad words to the physical buttons!!!
Option 2 (via recovery):
1. Download the on-screen-buttons.zip
2. Reboot on recovery
3. Apply this zip
4. Restart the phone
5. Thanks me by clicking 'Thanks' button below (and also Soheil_rf for the zip version)
6. Say some bad words to the physical buttons!!!
Option 3 (via file manager):
1. Download the same file of option 1, step 2 (above)
2. Use your favorite file manager to copy the downloaded file to /system/framework/framework-res.apk
3. Restart the phone
4. Thanks me by clicking 'Thanks' button below
5. Say some bad words to the physical buttons!!!
How to uninstall:
Just repeat Option 1 or 3 above, but using the framework-res.apk.bkp you backed up or this one (link from optik19918).
----------------------
Some points:
1. The file is really smaller than the original, and it must be caused by the linux archive app when I copied the patched 'resources.arsc' to the original apk. It worked for me up to now, but I will try to figure out why it happened.
2. I will explain how I patched the 'resources.arsc' and changed the boolean value in the first reply of the thread. It was a pain in the ass, but worth sharing (edit: explained here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1823223).
Long story
Reserved to tell the long story about the patch, If I have time.
EDIT:
And finally had some time! But it was to big for a single answer, I created a new thread:

i found some bug in camera app, the camera screen button it not in the side of the screen, please fix.
also make the black bar smaller 25%, and the placement of back icon should be more left so it on a line with the dot and transparent bar so does the task manager too, should be more right.
and also please make an option to disable the original touch button
thanks for your effort

RLE collections

I'M NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY BRICK I'M JUST SHARING
This RLE is for those who wants custom splash on their beloved ACE.
Enjoy! This file is made by me. Haven't tested, I don't dare repacking boot.img
Rename *whatever* (#) .rle to COOPER.rle and put onto root folder.

Never heard of this "clear" before! Try installing cygwin again, and on the package selection window search for clear. Otherwise, I really don't know what is wrong.

Welcome to dsixda's Android Kitchen
Please wait .
Error: The application 'clear' is not installed - the kitchen
will not function properly without it. Ensure you did
not miss a step during installation! Refer to the
Android Kitchen FAQ at xda-developers.com for further

I've read the FAQ.
Try asking in the kitchen thread then, I think it is the best lead you can have.

Remember that you can always use a Virtual Machine with Linux. No problems on there.

[Developer Discussion] JB Rom Creation

Hi All,
I'm starting this thread so that we can compile in one location the methods we attempted to create a zip for the recent Jellybean update, and hopefully advance the creation of this rom. This should be mentioned before starting.
ONLY POST IF YOU HAVE RELEVENT INFORMATION REGARDING THIS JELLYBEAN ROM.
This Includes:
Procedures
Logcats
Test Builds
Helpful Suggestions (Be Specific)
To start, I've attempted the following alterations on the zip level:
Straight System dump with updated updater-script
System dump with default updater script
Modified updater script removing patch elements
Utilizing the Canadian Rom, which flashed and appplying new system.
Swapping out radio flashing and boot.img with shellnutt's boot.img
I also have the following plans:
System Dump on Canadian Rom, and default boot.img
Recursive Deleting of patched files
Example
Code:
assert(apply_patch_check("/system/3rd_party/videowiz/lib/libMvMMAS.so", "65cfe8efc36cf58669e5fb9f30274bc49c3f9703", "e1a051bb2562af8d9b106ef4b875f85a6109ee9e"));
set_progress(0.003080);
delete("/system/3rd_party/videowiz/lib/libMvMMAS.so");
Than initiate the normal package_extract_dir("system", "/system");
Any other information would be great. Some developers have gotten it to flash but not boot.
Also, here's a link to the test builds I released.
http://goo.im/devs/AdriVelazquez/Roms/Nightlies/TestSprint
Thanks to all the developers that have been working on it.
This is what I've tried:
Used the boot.img & system.img. from dump to compile a rom in dxsdia's kitchen. I was able to apply root to the boot.img and compiled a zip but it wont flash. I then added the updater script from the dump but it still wouldn' t flash. Ithink my problem is in the updater script. I didn't take thetime to configure the kitchen properly for the optimus G but will do so tonight. I have the 2 test zips at home and I'll post them tonight if anyone wants to take a look.
Suggestion:
Since houstonns Korean port boots, and all is well except radio, would it also help to look at that system dump along with the Canadian? Maybe something to utilize?

Edit: houston answer as well, he is gonna work on it as well.

As I don't own the device I need your guys' help with creating a flashable zip for you guys. Lrod0175 requested my help. What I need is your system mount points. To get those open up Terminal Emulator and enter these commands:
Code:
$ su
# cat /proc/emmc
I need what is printed out.

There is no /proc/emmc on my phone, but I've attached what I have in /proc/mounts in case that helps.

Please, for safety, only use the by-name mount points. Below are the partitions for the American and Candian variants.

I'm using the by-name mount points. Wasn't sure if the Optimus G was proc/emmc or not.
Thanks dastin for answering and thanks guys for getting what he needs to help us.

Good morning to all, We have another dev, his name is negamann303 from the evo 3d forum, he's working hard on our project, already send me stuff to test, we will not post anything because these zips are highly flammable and all the testing is done in a spare phone I have, I will keep u guys updated.
