hi to all.. add me Pebble Blue 16GB ..

Guys,

I'm facing a rooting issue.

- previously succeed in rooting my S3 by following Chain Fire rooting process
- then I update to latest firmware via Kies PC without unroot my S3
- after successfully updated to latest firmware, expected..lost my root
- now trying to re-root by following Chain Fire rooting process as per below

*copy & paste
- Follow these instructions to the letter. Do not touch any buttons or checkboxes that are not listed below to touch!
- Unzip the attached Odin3-vX.X.zip file
- Download and unzip the CF-Root-SGS3-vX.X.zip file (see posts below this one)
- If you end up with a recovery.img and cache.img file, you've extracted twice. You need to end up with a .tar file - don't extract that one
- (USB) Disconnect your phone from your computer
- Start Odin3-vX.X.exe (am using Odin3-v1.85)
- Click the PDA button, and select CF-Root-SGS3-vX.X.tar (am using CF-SGS3-CWM-v5.5-v1.2.tar)
- Put your phone in download mode (turn off phone, then hold volume-down + home + power to boot - if it asks you to press a button to continue, press the listed button, or run adb reboot download command)
- (USB) Connect the phone to your computer
- Make sure Repartition is NOT checked
- Click the Start button
- Wait for Android to boot
- Done (if it took you more than 30 seconds, you need practise!)

but now, whenever I clicked on the Start Button, after more than 30 seconds, the Odin will show the word Failed.


Am I missing something? Is it due to this rooting process aren't compatible with the latest firmware?

CF-SGS3-CWM-v5.5-v1.2

are you using the same version?

The first time rooting before update to latest firmware also using this version.

Yea, I expected that, but didn't expect to face rooting issue after firmware upgrade.

I'm going to try http://download.chainfire.eu/194/CF-Root/S...t-SGS3-v6.3.zip

Once phone is connected, in Odin under ID:COM it shows 0:[COM25] with Yellow color background.

How to check whether Samsung driver is installed and vice versa?

Sorry for all the questions, I'm trying to learn few things on android.

I guess this should be my last option.

By the way, Mobile Odin Pro is a paid apps, correct?

Windows 7, listed SAMSUNG USB Driver for Mobile Phones. Guess driver is installed. Maybe I should re-install Samsung Driver. And if still can't solve.. will try Andrewtst's advice
