I am currently implementing an alternate method of Rooting which I have found to be successful by means of Pre-Rooting the system.img file. I have previously released Pre-Rooted ROMs for the Galaxy S II and wanted to continue this development for the Galaxy S III.


Why use this Root Method? Well the main reasons are:

- You have a complete Odin Flashable ROM Package.

- No Insecure Kernels are used or required.

- You can flash these packages on Non-Rooted devices

- The Binary Flash Counter will NOT increase when flashing these ROM Packages.

- The Red Exclamation Mark will NOT appear at boot up.

- And finally, you only have to flash one file in Odin and you have a complete firmware including Root Permissions.


What Root Package is used in these ROMs?

- Busybox 1.20.2 (Newer ROMs)

- SuperSU 1.51 (Newer ROMs)

Previously released ROMs may have an older Busybox and SuperSU package installed.


Please Note: This Root Method does not include a Custom Recovery. This is for people who only require Root Permissions. If you do require a Custom Recovery, you will need to flash this yourself separately.


Just UnZip and Flash the '.tar.md5' File in Odin.


Password (All Packages): LyriquidPerfection@XDA

Note: If you are coming from a Custom ROM, remember to Wipe Data and Cache Partitions before flashing to avoid Boot Loops.

If you look at changelist, you can see that this is not the latest firmware...

I never said it was latest. As its the only one on there for the time being then it has nowhere else to be except the top of the list!

Is there any advantage to those of us already rooted and with a red "!" on our screens to flash this rom? Secondly, after flashing this rom, would flashing custom recovery raise the counter and or bring back the "!"?

Thanks.

I git mine from t mobile & there's very little from them. The vast majority is the usual Samsung bloatware you even get on unlocked phones. I think as t mobile & orange are sort of the same, you shouldn't expect much bloatware from them specifically

Ahh nice, cheers. Will I need to backup my EFS partition after flashing this pre-rooted firmware?

Backing up efs folder is always a good idea and with our device you can even backup without root.

So which root method is the safest? I have something called GT-I9305N

This is all stock, did one OTA upgrade when I got the phone yesterday.
Sweden actually has two different 4G/LTE variants depending on operator, one for Telenor/Tele2(2600/900 MHz) and one for Telia (2600/800 MHz), where only LTE frequencies differ. Mine is from Comviq.se(Tele2 with prepaid variant due to I didn't want to change my subscription terms to some thing new&bad)

Any suggetions? THanks!

Hi everyone, I received my new SGS3 I9305 from vodafone (germany) and I'm totally new in android.
I would like to get rid of the vodafone branding so would you recommend me to install this pre-rooted ROM? As I am really new, I would like to ask you something : can I install this ROM on my "Out of the Box" I9305?

Specifications of my phone :
AP:I9305XXALI5
CP:I9305BUALI6
CSC:I9305VD2ALI4

Thank you all.

Thank you all.

You can but the only Rom available here at the moment is the UK EE Rom so it will only have Orange UK and T-Mobile UK APN settings. But this Rom is otherwise unbranded. No Network startup logos.
