Before I get into it. If you get to a point where you don’t want to go any further, or things don’t work, you can always flash the stock rom (extract the .tar.md5 from the zip) using Odin in your bootloader. Get that here: http://forum.xda-dev…d.php?t=1755386

First off, you’ll need some files. This basically flashes a custom system.img.ext4 which has your su binary. You then boot up and flash cwm

- Odin: http://samsung-updates.com/Odin307.zip
- Rooted system.img tarball: http://goo.im/devs/i….system.img.tar (this is big ~1.5gb, I’ll work on slimming it down)
—–torrent for ^ (please seed!): http://goo.im/devs/i…img.tar.torrent
- CWM recovery.img: http://goo.im/devs/i…35/recovery.img (this was ripped out of CWM-Recovery-LTE-SGS3-Sprint-v4.zip from the e4gt team)

Ok, lets get started….

1. Boot into Odin mode on the phone. Do this by powering off and then holding vol down, home and power to power on. Then press vol up to accept the disclaimer. Plug into your computer.

2. Fire up Odin (Heimdeil may work in linux, haven’t tested) choose the PDA section and browse to wherever you downloaded rooted.system.img.tar then click flash. This takes awhile, be patient. Took me around 8 minutes to flash this.

3. It will auto reboot. It should boot up and thing should act mostly normal except that you’ll be able to adb in and use su to take root

If you don’t want a custom recovery, you may stop here. You are rooted.

Continuing on to get CWM on your device…

4. You’ll need adb installed and working for this. If you don’t know how, this isn’t the thread for that. Open a command prompt and follow these commands:

adb push recovery.img /sdcard/
adb shell
su
dd if=/sdcard/recovery.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p18
adb reboot recovery

5. Profit

Should be it guys. It should be noted I haven’t really tested anything in CWM

I’ve only done it once, but you are welcome to join me in #verizons3 on irc.freenode.net for help
I’m tired, can’t guarantee there aren’t any typos here, if you are scared, just wait. I’m sure someone will come up with a simpler way to do this…

enjoy

Thanks to many people…

Many others for bits an pieces for this whole thing

FAQ:

Q: It’s not working!!! Keeps failing!!!
A: Try again. Turn the phone off (battery pull) and boot into download mode again

Q: Odin doesn’t seem to be doing anything!
A: Be patient, it can take awhile sometimes. I’ve also noticed if you try to flash something, and leave the phone plugged in and try to flash something else it won’t work. Unplug, then replug, then try flashing again

Q: Does this trip the flash counter?
A: No

Light Flow - LED Control by Rage Consulting

android 12:18 PM

Take control of your notifications. LEDs, vibrations, repeating sounds and more. *** If you have problems after upgrading of leds not working, try disable and re-enable the notification in light flow *** More fixes coming soon. Keep the bug reports coming for 3.0.2 Light Flow allows you to take control of your notification LED colors and makes them successively flash one color after another. It also allows you to set repeating sounds on vibration patterns for you notifications. You can also set a "sleep" mode or "on charge" where the lights and/or sounds and vibrations will not be heard or seen. If you've come from a Blackberry device and miss the features of BeBuzz / BerryBuzz then give LightFlow a try! This program will allow you to control the notification color for the over 250 applications and system events such as: * Missed calls * Voice mail * Calendar reminders * gmail * email * SMS messages * MMS messages * Low battery * No signal * Google talk * Facebook * Twitter ...and many many more See our website for a full list of applications supported: http://www.folioflow.com/ff/page/website/lightflow/pageId/1687 It allows the colors to flash in succession, so if you have a new SMS and a missed call it can alternate between the two colors. You can also set which notification type has the highest priority and let it flash in just that one color. There's different profiles for when your phone is charging and when it is running on battery. If you find it eats your battery too much for your liking then you can change settings to conserve the battery use. Known issues/Limitations ------------------------- Not all phones support all colors. For example: Most HTC phones only support 3 colors and require "Rooting" and running the app in "direct mode" Some phones can only light up the notification while the screen is off. Some phones cannot have their notification light always on Some phones cannot have their notification blink and it will always be on Note that it will take over control of your notifications and you will therefore only get notifications for categories that the app allows. ★ We recommend you try the "lite" version first before purchasing to avoid any disappointment if it doesn't work for you. Some phones require root privileges to access the LEDs. ★ ★ For the differences between this version and the lite version see here: http://www.folioflow.com/ff/page/website/lightflow/pageId/1687 ★ ★ If after updating you have problems we recommend you reboot your phone ★ ** Most HTC phones require "direct mode" setting. Most gingerbread builds for HTC phones require root access due to HTC changing the permissions on the LED control files. ** ** If upgrading from the "lite" version, please uninstall the lite version first but you can backup and restore settings between versions ** =================================== Trial download link: Light Flow Paid download link: Light Flow
