which one should I do Odex or deodex?
And how do I get CWM onto my phone without being rooted?

You dont need root to flash cwm. You flash it with odin. And yes, the first link is what i was referring to.
Odex/deodex doesnt really matter. User preference. If you plan to flash any mods use deodexed.

Try this.... Flash recovery in odin again, but uncheck auto reboot. When it says PASS, unplug and pull the battery. Put the battery back in and try to boot straight to recovery....i think i might know whats going on, if this works anyway.

Ive been told you can unplug when it says RESET if auto reboots not checked, but ive never tried it. It may seem to hang there for a couple minutes, but it should eventually say PASS.

I had booted into download mode being about to flash CWM to my phone via Odin and I noticed this:

downloadmodeinfo.jpg


(If you cannot see it it says):
Factory Mode
Product Name: SGH-I727
Current Binary: Custom
System Status: Custom
Qualcomm Secureboot: Enable
Warranty Bit 1
Bootloader AP Swrev: 3

Is this bad?
Am I still able to root?
Am I able to install custom Recovery?
Am I able to install ROMS like CM 11?

No, there's nothing wrong there.

Ive noticed when I try to flash CWM or TWRP that when Odin is doing its flashing progress its not doing anything on the phone side.

When I had my Captivate, I put CM 11 on it. When I flashed the corn kernel for it the download mode showed a progress bar as Odin was doing its thing.

Download mode on the S3 does not show anything.

No still nothing.

It vibrates when you first start it up and then the Samsung logo comes up with Recovery is starting in blue at the top for about a second and then goes to a black screen and nothing never happens afterwards.

    Ok guys, I've been putting work into CASUAL for Windows and Linux. Mac is still experimental. Here's how this works: I'm comitted to providing an easy way to root your device and you provide me with feedback, positive or negative. All I'm asking for is if it worked or where it failed and what type of computer you're using.

    Introduction
    This root method should be about the easiest one ever created. You launch the java JAR file and click "Do It". CASUAL will take care of installing drivers, runtimes, providing clear and easy-to-understand instructions. I want this to be easy and if there's something that can be improved, let me know.

    Instructions
    1. Click here and make sure Java is up-to-date (not JavaScript that you hear about all the security vulnerabilities, Java).
    2. Download and launch CASUAL
    3. Plug in your device
    4. click "Do It!"
      note: if it asks you to install drivers, you want to do MSM8960.


    Download
    Download Root AT&T GS3 - CASUAL Revision 515b

    http://goo.im/devs/AdamOutler/GS3-Root-ATT-Can

    30jlfzd.png





    Conclusion
    Again, this is a test of CASUAL. I want to improve it. I would like your help in getting feedback to improve the Cross-platform ADB Scripting Unified Android Loader platform. I need to confirm that this works on all operating systems.


    Test list:
    Crossed off means it was tested.

    High Priority OS's
    Windows 7 -32 bit
    Windows 7 - 64 bit
    Windows 8
    OSX Lion
    OSX Mountain Lion
    Debian based Linux 64
    Debian based Linux 32
    Raspberry Pi running Debian based distributions

    Low Priority OS's
    Windows XP 32
    Windows XP 64
    OSX Tiger
    OSX Leopard
    OSX Snow Leopard

    Releases
    CASUAL R302b - Initial release
    CASUAL R306b - fixed freezing on Linux64, needs retesting on Windows and Mac.
    CASUAL R308b - fixed freezing on Windows by reorganizing data collection. This may be an error on Windows Java where reading Error Stream too quickly causes a crash.

    If you find a problem, or even find a solution, please let me know. I am subuscribed to this thread.

    Very Nice my friend will have to try this if my wife lets me root her Galaxy AT&T:good:, Do have a question does this trip your counter like Odin one Does, Also i see you got Windows 7 64 bit cross off i only use 64 bit on Windows 7 will this work on 64 bit?

    Yes. It will trip the flash counter. This is part of the Loke daemon on the device and I cannot change that. You can use Triangle Away to remove the counter.

    I'm crossing off operating systems which have been tested. As feedback comes in, they will be crossed off or have a note put by them until the next release.

    Thanks! Crossed off the list!


    I should also mention that you don't need to be stock. You can be rooted. The test is complete when you see Chainfire's CFAutoRoot.
