So I've successfully rooted my S3 this morning. I would love to make this thread an official thread to discuss rooting tweaks and other stuff that can only be done with rooted devices. So what do you guys advice me to do next.
-
Flash a Siyah kernel right now and install ExTweaks. It will give you a truckload of cpu/gpu settings. Also it can conserve battery much more than stock.
I have S2, Stock - recharge about every second day; With flashed kernel - once in a week or so (depends on what you are doing, I usually text and call)
-
Have you installed custom recovery?
Removed shiloads of bloat?
try editing menu's. Like the notification menu, add stuff to it.
intall a firewall.
use setcpu etc, or what kulver suggested.
try installing some Linux to your phone
-
Thank you guys for the tips, currently I'm downloading CyanogenMod (http://www.cyanogenmod.org/). However, is there a pentesting tool for android that can work without wifi connection, dsploit is a pain in the ass. :(

There are tools to dump your own data connection. But what are you trying to do? I don't like dsploit. I use fing network scanner and WiFi inspect. And droidsheep

You don't really need Cyanogenmod for S3 because when you flash Siyah kernel, stock becomes like Cyanogenmod.

I prefer cyanogenmod on S3, no samsung shit and android 4.2.2. It's perfect compared to stock rom.

I'm trying to pentest a network without being connected to it, if that's possible.

ok I just flashed Siyah kernel, and when I reboot I get the Siyah sign. But my phone looks as before, nothing has changed? isn't this supposed to be a completely new firmware
-

I don't see how that could work? You need access to the network in order to run scans and such, so implicitly you have to be connected to it.
I guess at most you could see access points and eventually break their encryption in order to connect.

ok new update, my s3 is fucked up now and it's not working. I simply downloaded CWM recovery tar file using Odin, and from ROM manager I started CWM recovery. Now all I get is the Samsung Galaxy S3 screen.
Edit:I will try to wipe all the data and start again.

It's not new "firmware", it's the kernel. Phone and OS is still the same as it was before just that now you have a Siyah kernel which gives a truckload of CPU configuration options.

I believe your phone is stuck in a "boot loop". Only think you can do now is wipe everything with CWM and flash a new system.

DONT YOU WIPE ALL DATA. You might fuck up your efs files. Flash CWM with odin, go to fastboot menu (hold volume and home when booting) then boot recover (CWM) do a nandroid. Then flash cyanogenmod. reboot win.

How can I do that if I can't boot the whole system, from the cellphone itself I can only boot the download mode.

Please go to xda-developers before you for goddsake start and flash all random things. If you can't even boot into recovery you are really stupid flashing random things with odin.

FYI, I wasn't flashing random shit just for fun, I searched the internet for tutorials. I simply followed the instructions on how to install things using Odin.

Did you create a nandroid backup before flashing anything else than a recovery?
-
Get on IRC there me and kulver can advice you.

I have everything backed using my email account. I think I can do a recovery using Samsung Kies.

Recovery == Clockwork mod and others. That is the system you boot into to flash systems and backup the system. you usually do not flash roms using odin but using the recovery.

I think this got out of hand. I'm a bit confused now, I'll see what I can do to solve this problem. If you have any advice please share.
P.S
For now reason I feel happy, may be because the first step towards success is failure ;)
-
NANDROID backup == a backup of EVERYTHING, the kernel, the system, your imei files. If you start flashing a kernel without that you lose your original kernel and might not be able to revert to your stock kernel and warranty. The only possible way is to find a stock kernel on the interwebz

Quick search and I got this

One of the answers seems to be the problem that caused this.
Are you using a custom ROM? What you're describing is typical when a modified kernel you are using is not suited for the ROM you've flashed.

When you flash a official Cyanogenmod nightly there is the official cyanogenmod kernel included. Please read the documentations :)

Your baseband version.
GT-I9300
Edit: This is the model name, about the baseband, I don't know because I can't access the system itself, a friend of mine with the same device and the same system version (Android 4.1.2 Jelly Bean) has a baseband : I9300XXELLA

I say once more, read stuff on xda-developers forums. Try atleast to boot into CWM and flash a system. And after that don't touch anything until you have the knowledge:D

Baseband version is in the Hboot menu

This I can't access to? Anyway I have other business to attend to. I'll check back after 5 to 7 hours from now, meanwhile I'm going to rely on my Blackberry cellphone to surf the web while I'm away from home.
lol at the picture. :D

hBoot is the menu you get into using the volume button and home button. You can get into this no matter what. (or you can throw away the phone). There you can also get in recovery mode (CWM)

Ok boss, when I get back home I'll look into it. On the other hand, let us all do a rain dance in hope when Iget back home I'll find my S3 has fixed itself.

You didn't read my first post, did you?

Ok I flashed the original firmware corresponding to my country, I got it working smoothly. Contacts and softwares downloaded earlier were kept intact. I only lost the rooting privileges and Siyah kernel, but I immediately got the rooting privileges back.

Great, now learn about back-ups and the do's and don'ts

Ok let get down to the serious shit. I'm now at a coffee shop. I just captured 11 mb worth of packets using dsploit, anyway I'm looking for a good packet reader, sharkreader is shit, I can't search in text, I can only browser the captured in hex and asci if am not wrong. and wifinspect doesn't load pcap files captured by dsploit.

Use droidsheep. I don't think there are better wireshark alternatives.
