I've downloaded everything i need, and when i start up Odin, it does not recongnize my device. What do i do now?
Skunk Ape1...this worked perfectly...Thank you!
I understand this tripped the flash counter, but it can be reversed right? How or what should I do ro reverse the counter in case of anything?
Thanks again!
Thanks for the guide & zipfile, rooted my new-to-me gs3 a couple weeks ago with this and had CM running within 20 mins of this phone being in my hand.
Couple questions for OP or anyone who may know and could lend their time to a reply:
1. rom manager does not see that cwm is installed. I searched the thread and found a post by the OP about flashing a newer cwm via cwm but he edited and removed the link as it may have not worked for someone.
Is there a way to make rom manager see that cwm-t is installed and not have to flash non touch cwm with rom mgr? I like to use rom manager mainly just to be able to name backups.
2. if I make a backup straight from cwm it gets named after the date but the date is in 1970, is that normal? I've used cwm a lot on my old inspire so I'm used to the date-name but the inspire was always correct in the date/time (it was gmt though)
edit: a bonus 3rd question: I've never used twrp or any other recovery than cwm, but I'm seeing on google that twrp might do backups in cwm's old style where everything is stored in every backup, no incremental /blobs dir. Is that true? I would like this better than cwm's new way. Does it function about like cwm in every other way? It'll be easy to figure out how to wipe a partition or 2 or most other stuff in cwm? Does it have an in-OS front end like rom mgr? I like to restore apps/appdata out of cwm backups with titanium, can titanium do this from twrp backups?
I want to start with thank you very much and it worked like a charm. Nice and easy! Which is what I needed because I have limited exp so the following may not really apply. Please let me know if this is possible or not just in case it helps someone else.
After following this guide and successfully installing a working root and CWM recovery I tried installed ☆ ★ | ROM | SynergyROM AT&T S3 | JB 4.1.2 | Multiwindow | PDroid | Mar 30 r443 |★ ☆
It has a fancy custom installer launched through CWM. It has the ability to work on a variety of SGS3 like ATT,Sprint,Verizon,etc all within the same file download and it "auto" choses the correct version to install based on the CWM recovery you have installed on your phone.
I use ATT roms with the d2att from the forums here and yada yada yada ....long story of a new guy is the flash auto installed SPRINT onto my device. I'm not bricked or anything but data service is a mess and device model number is changed in my about device section etc. I'm going back to stock again right now and killing time as i DL the latest stock att rom.
Anyways, question to the team is "Is the CWM recovery in this guide a Sprint one which happens to work on Att which may lead to an auto installer miss identifying what model phone you are using?" Another example would be ROM manager now sees me as d2sprint when I try to update CWM.
Just wanted to throw my recent exp in. I may be on glue but after a few hours of head scratching this is what I think happened. I'd love to know if there may be a hint of truth to this or if I'm on glue The guide did work as claimed and I am very happy with it, probably a 1 out of 100 chance I chose to follow up installing with a flash that id my device by CWM somehow. If that is even possible.
Hope this helps someone if they are scratching there head with an ATT phone which evolved to Sprint
If there is no possible way this happened to me let me know or delete this post so that way noone gets confused by my lack of knowledge on these subjects. Thanks to everyone here who works hard with these phones, this is an amazing resource! Cheers! :good:

Hey I did the whole process to root my At&t galaxys3 SGHI747. But when tryin to install synergyrom it detects my phone as a sprint model.. im lost how do I fix this
Sorry, this is for the at&t galaxy s3. This guide was originally written for the Sprint but I replaced CWM 6.0.1.2 with 6.0.1.4 to make it compatible with the at&t. The rest is identical. I thought I had cleaned up the guide. I guess I missed a few references. I will clean it up after work tonight to get rid of any confusion. Thanks very much for the heads up...
So, to be clear, this is the same procedure as rooting a Sprint GS3? My son and I have the same phone, I'm on Sprint and rooted and he's on AT&T and stock. He wants me to root and I want to ensure that when it looks a lot like what I did for mine (with the exception of CWM being a different version) I'm not screwing something up.

Thanks man! Followed the guide on GalaxyS3Root.com after updating Jelly bean and it failed. This one works perfectly on my AT&T GS3! Cheers!
