Hiya Skunkape60,
RE: 3 WEEK OLD NOOB, moving closer to jumping-off the edge . . .
I've only had Android for 3 weeks, but just wanted to thank you in advance for all the great work you've put into these clear & concise rooting (and un-rooting) method guide(s)?that after reading thru them a few times?have helped me to reach a decision to root. It's also encouraging & comforting to see that you're so helpful and present with following thru and keeping links updated with latest versions/files. I hope this forum and it's member's send you the degree of thanks & appreciation, Skunkape60, that you so clearly deserve.
Just want to read some more... and try to figure-out which ROM ... for a few more days. I guess I'm mostly pretty happy with the stock AT&T TW UI, just as it is now.
. . btw, this somewhat gives me the same feeling and reminds me of the first time I jumped off a mountain with my new 18' delta-wing hang glider. :-\
. . and, of course this post wouldn't be complete without a Total Noobish question:
How is a noob... supposed to figure-out which custom ROM to flash? The saying? there's practically as many custom ROMs as there are android devices ?sure seems to ring very true!
Thanks for that, Skunkape60. Yes, I would never think of flashing anything not specifically for at&t gs3. ;-)That is a good question. But being a nube, I would stick to trying the TW roms first. When you feel more comfortable you can start flashing the CM and ASOP roms. Here is another guide for you to read. I hope it helps.I made it for the sprint guys but it works the exact same for the AT&T version. One thing I would like to stress. DO NOT FLASH A ROM NOT MADE FOR THE AT&T GS3!!
How To Flash In Custom Recovery
Do i need to unzip the file Team Epic. When i select ext SD it display E:fail to mount /SD card.thx . Do i need start over again to install recovery. Thanks
Files flashed in recovery should always remain zipped. Your problem is your sd card is formatted as exfat file system and recovery doesn't read exfat. Therefore it can't mount your sdcard. You have 2 choices
1. Reformat your external sdcard with fat32 file system and start from scratch. Be sure to back everything up as this will delete everything on your card.
2. Move team epic root from recovery from your external sdcard to your internal sdcard and start the whole process from scratch.
Thanks for the quick reply one more thing my SD is 64 meg will it read on the recovery mode. If i place the file to intenal card what folder should i place or just at main dir.
I try to remove the SD card and place the file on the down load folder push to recovery mode what function should i select i select the one on the bottom menu but it did not see either.
Thank you for developing this. I just rooted my phone and can now research how to get rid of th AT&T bloatware and annoying Splasy Screen. Great work!
Forgive me, I do have a followup question: Outside of Odin, is there a way on the phone itself to confirm that it is rooted? Thx.
Thank you so much for these COMPLETE instructions. You left nothing out. No guessing, just follow instructions. I was very surprised, and elated, that this root method did not remove any programs. When I rooted my old HTC, I had to start from scratch and reinstall everything. This method was almost foolproof.
Thanks for this thread. I've got a GSIII on AT&T and am itching to root and get on with using CM10 and other roms. I've put this off long enough in hopes of an AT&T JB upgrade. Don't think I can wait much longer...
My question is with regards to Lotus Traveller. My company uses this to allow me access to my corporate email and calendar. I have it installed on my non-rooted phone. It requires a 5-digit PIN to log-on. What precautions or issues do I need to address to go through the rooting process successfully. I'm the "measure twice, cut once" type, so am proceeding with an abundance of caution.
Thanks again!
All set thanks. I had to remove my account (exchange). This enabled me to decrypt my phone to where I did not have to enter a password to boot the phone. I then did a factory reset to remove the rest of the encryption.
The phone is mine, my company pushes a GPO once you set up email to sync with Exchange.
