You didn't flash the "insecure" kernel, did you ?
This is absolutely needed to get your phone Rooted using the Toolkit via ADB.
Also most other things from the TK need an "insecure"kernel.

Pick the build that is the closest to your current build (and flash it using TK (it will fire up ODIN).

After this, you can root your phone, not the other way around !!

Thanks for that, yes I had tried to flash all of the options in turn but no luck - all working now, downloaded yet again & it all worked this time, can't believe I had two corrupted downloads but can't think what else it was, followed the same steps as previously & it worked. Well, after I'd found out that I need Busybox for Easy UMS so had to do it all again & pick another option!!

updated build needed for XXEMB1

I had to update my galaxy S3 through kies to get rid of the freezing issue with ELLA
So far it is not freezing at all but I lost my root access. When I went back to the toolkit I found that XXEMB1 is not included in the international options - its such a great tool that I hope it will soon be updated for this version. I was jus t beginning to find my way around my rooted device

there is two new firms but in the donators mode, and is ema2 for example but not yet emb1

I had the same problem too, after root with Unified toolkit, no matter which custom rom I flashed,
when under heavy usage, the device just freeze. I've done wiping everything, include reformat and repartioned my sd card.
be it SD card was inserted or not inserted. it still gone freezed.

Im using a international S3.

Make sure you update SuperSu to the latest version. (=v1.10)
The version included in the toolkit (v1.04) might cause issues.

Yes. Already tried it. Play store updated it once I started up.

I guess my problem was the eMMc brick bug problem, which has nothing to do with this toolkit.

Anyone has the solution to get rid of the eMMc thing?

Why do you think you have the "EMMC brick thing" as you call it ?
What phone do you have ? A GT-I9300 I believe; the same model as I''ve.. right ?

I'm relative sure you don't have that ugly EMMC brick thing !

First tell me what you're trying to accomplish and describe your problem as good as you can, including messages/errors ....
Maybe I can help...

Cause all the symptoms my phone giving is exactly same like what others describe in other post.
the phone just SDS for like 5-30 minutes, screen ON, no battery state recorded.

Attached with the screen shot of my current my phone spec. Currently running on CM10.1 and Siyah Kernel which Siyah claims they fixed the eMMc/SDS problem, but my phone it seems not.

I've also tested eMMc memory check, it passed. dump file test passed too.

Im so unhappy with my current phone, I'm so ****ed up using my phone for every 10 minutes then I had to do a power button 8 secs reset.

Really wish that you could help me asap.

Edited: I had also attached the LogCat and Bugs Report in case you needed.

Thanks, I'll check these.
First you have to be sure the problem is HW or SW.
For this, you should do a complete reset (first in CWM wipe/format data/cache/dalvick/system) and then restore a stable stock (ELLA/EMAx/EMBx will do) followed by a factory reset.
After you're done wiping/formatting in CWm, don't let the phone try to boot, but go directly in downoad mode to flash the stock FW.

if the "freeze"problem is gone, it was likely corrupted data somewhere, if not, it might be a HW problem.

Can you still make a CWM/TWRRP backup from your current setup ? (move all backups to your external SD and PC, as the internal will be wiped)
i hope you have Titanium Backup for all apps and games.

Re: [SAMSUNG GALAXY S3 UNIFIED TOOLKIT V7.0] Drivers, Backup, Root, Recovery + MORE [

The backup is not a concern cause most of stuff is on the cloud. Haha

I've tried flash back to XELLA stock Rom. Both rooted and non rooted. It still freezing randomly.

I've read through xda there's a thread saying that flashing the pit file would solve the problem. I'm crossed finger on that. Cause flashing pit file is dangerous that could anytime bricked my phone totally.

Haven't try on other stock Roms. Will try it soon.

I want to root

Hi friends,
I have the GT-I9300 with compilation jz054k.i9300ubema1
I want to do the root but I do not know what version to choose EMA2 to GT-I9300 or EMA1 to GT-I9300, and if someone have the same compilation.
I have the Toolkit with donation.

What do I have to do before root? What to backup? Can I backup my stock rom?

Thanks in advance:good:

The SuperSu from the Toolkit is still v1.04 and this version has some issues.
Try flashing the "UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.10.zip" from the SuperSu thread at http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1538053.
It will update Supersu to v1.10 and might solve your problem, unless there is something else specific needed for Jelly 4.2.1.
I just went through the script and I'm relative sure it should work for 4.2.1 too.

Did you wipe/format everything as i said, including your internal SD by doing a "reset to factory" AFTER flashing the ELLA ?
You did a flash to ELLA using Odin, did you ?? Because installing some none-wipe ROM using recovery will not help you !! Use PC-odin !
This is important as there can be corrupted files on your SD that cause the lock-ups.

In case you still get freezes after doing this, try to unmount and remove your ext. SD card.
Corrupted/bad files or even a bad card might also give such strange freezes & lockups.

Just test the bare phone to exclude as many other possible causes as you can.

PS: Forgot to ask before, but can you still see your IMEI (*#06#) ? Are your wifi and network still OK ?

Only the last 4 characters from "jz054k.i9300ubema1" are important to choose the proper kernel : this means EMA1 is the one to pick in your case.
The first thing you need to do is flashing this EMA1 "insecure kernel" : after this you can root your phone (choose the all in one to have root + busybox + ..)

Once you have installed the custom Recovery (CWM or TWRP), you can make backups from your phone.
See my sig. for what i use to make backups : some do a complete backup (Philz CWM) other backup all apps + settings (Titanium Backup)

Of course you can always change the tools to backup as long as the these are compatible.

Re: [SAMSUNG GALAXY S3 UNIFIED TOOLKIT V7.0] Drivers, Backup, Root, Recovery + MORE [

Yes. I did wipe everything before flashing new rom. Data. Cache. Dalvik too.

I did totally take out the external sd card in the whole process. But it still freezing. I've tested format the external sd too. But still freezing.

Yes. I flash my phone through PC odin which bundled with unified toolkit.

I just flashed the EMB1 rom for UK. (unrooted so far)

And the result is working just perfectly good !! I'm currently downloading back all my apps, and keep pushing my phone to the limit, see whether the problem will it still be there.

drakexpl · Feb 27, 2013

Wow, great.

Now after EFS restore after backup my phone is dead - there is only Samsung GALAXY S III GT-I9300 LOGO.

How to reformat EFS partition in the phone in order it can create in by itself?

in CWM when I try to mount /efs it says: Error mounting /efs!
