ScottDB is the guy that posted the file for download, he may have had to put the .zip on the file so that he could post it.

You're only switching stock firmware, when you root it it will be a one click, the firmware on the phone can't be rooted, this is the only way.

[sweetcandyboo]

Its the H1 file you just gotta get it in the right format so it will flash

 

[sweetcandyboo]

i got the file but it jus wont flash

 

[Droidriven]

i got the file but it jus wont flash

Did you remove the .zip? If it won't flash like that then add the .zip back then extract it, I haven't downloaded the file from there, I got mine somewhere else but that link is dead. You've got to have it in .tar.tar without the zip and without the md5 to flash it.

Give me all the extensions on the file you downloaded, then I will know what format it is in, then I can tell you what you need to do with it to get the right format.

 

[sweetcandyboo]

extensions wat do u mean

 

[Droidriven]

extensions wat do u mean

It should say something to the effect of combination yada yada yada - yada yada yada.???.???.???

Fill in the blanks and tell me all the .what.what.what, give me all the dot whatevers are on the file.

If that's what you are showing then you have the right file and in the right format. Is that what it was before you changed it or after you changed it, I need to know what format it was in when you first downloaded it, you may have to download it from somewhere else, something doesn't seem right about the one you have from what you are telling me.

 

[sweetcandyboo]

i didnt change it i kept it the same as it was wen i downloaded it

 

[sweetcandyboo]

i downloaded another file called cf root as well for gs3

 

[Droidriven]

i didnt change it i kept it the same as it was wen i downloaded it

You said it came out as a .zip, you are confusing me here.

 

[Droidriven]

i downloaded another file called cf root as well for gs3

No, don't use the cf root, that isn't for this phone.

 

[sweetcandyboo]

yes it did come out as a zipfile i didnot change it

 

[Droidriven]

yes it did come out as a zipfile i didnot change it

When I asked you give me the file name what you posted is a .tar.tar, I don't think you are understanding anything here.

 

[sweetcandyboo]

yes i did an it came out the download as a zipfile

 

[Droidriven]

yes i did an it came out the download as a zipfile

Then it should say .zip at the end not .tar.tar

Which is it?

 

[sweetcandyboo]

both
