** WARNING ESPECIALLY TO NOOBS **

Scam Alert: Don't Get Duped By Root-Android.com
http://www.androidpit.com/scam-alert-don-t...oot-android-com



Just a PSA to anyone out there thinking of rooting their devices: don't trust any site that wants to charge you to use their software.

A prime example is "Root-Android.com." This site claims to be able to "root any device" using a single piece of software for the low, low price of $30. But does it actually work?

The problem is there is no single piece of software that can root any phone model without any input needed from the user. Rooting instructions are drastically different depending on your carrier and model, and you should be wary of any website that says it can root your device "with a single click." Especially if that site wants to charge you.

Root-Android.com preys on the inexperienced and uninformed. Knowing that the majority of new phone owners don't really know what "rooting" is, they've filled their website with erroneous information about what rooting can do for your phone. The site lists "screen shot" as one of their top ten apps that require root because "it's a sad fact that Android shops with no way to take a screenshot." In fact, that hasn't been true since Gingerbread.

xeactorz don't know if warnings like this warrant page 1 posting hopefully there aren't people gullible enough.

Hi all, my gf's S3 as well as my colleagues' one are having random reboot. All are on stock. It just happen suddenly about 1 month ago. Now its getting worse. Anyone face this problem before and any solution to it? I googled and it seem that a number of user are having this problem as well but no solution.

Probly its been discuss before but I cant read through all the post and search button not giving me much help.

Thanks!

It is called SDS - Sudden Death Syndrome. Due to a fault in the Samsung chip, the chip has a chance of dying and the motherboard needs replacement.

So can send in for warranty? Got it from Maxis package. How long normally it takes for the warranty?

Thanks for the input.

Mine took 2 days n it was changed without questions asked at hatten square malacca

normally 3 days
send to federal highway SC better

SDS is one of the potential reason but apps and Firmware corrupted also another potential culprit, if you lazy to bring to SC maybe you could try below:-

1. Wipe Cache, still cannot try no 2.
2. Factory reset+Wipe cache, still cannot try no 3.
3. Use PC Odin to flash ROM+Factory reset+Wipe cache, still cannot try no 4.
4. SC....

But remember to backup!

Hi just stopped by to report back that my S3 is free from freezes. it has been freeze free since i did the fix.
if anybody else having restart or freezing problems just try out the method mentioned by modskywalker few posts back.
dont waste time going to SC if its something you can fix it yourself.

Were the S3s bought mid of last year when the phone was just launched?

This doesn't just apply for S3, it applies for all Android phones, so maybe need to put at the general Android forum and get a mod to pin it.

you can use this to check if their S3 has the faulty chip

siegdeclaroix this apps is to know what chips set is your device carrying but doesn't mean for sure is faulty otherwise Samsung will call back all S3 with similar chipset.

Now that my firmware is 4.1.2 on my s3, does this particular page works for this firmware if i were to root? cause it states that 4.1 only. Any help?

Checks what's running at the back but sometimes the score will shoot up back to normal..

Steps correct but need to get latest cf-root version, please refer to page 1.
