I think you all have flashed new rom. Ok any way flash super user zip file through clock work mod. Here is the file. download.chainfire.eu/351/SuperSU/UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.65.zip?retrieve_file=1 it worked for me.
root access is to give you administrative previledges on the phone so you can use apps that require root and use stuff like CWM to do complete backups of the phone, rooting the phone does void the warranty, i think it goes back to factory default if you reset it yes
Firstly I tried rooting using Chainfires thread on the XDA forums which ALMOST bricked my device!! (he didn't mention ticking the PDA box which I'm guessing was almost the death of my phone) I was able to boot into download mode and use your glorious video to root my device which had thankfully kept my data intact. Seriously Inam, you are a hero. Have a great Christmas / New Year.
as in the video, its a connectivity problem so try a different cable and a different usb port then also re-install the drivers from the manufacturers website
I have gone accross the wild tundra of the internet, Searching for a video like this. I have a big trip comming up over 1000 miles of driving. I wanted to tether my internet. I needed to root, you sir are amazing. Thank you.
no, rooting gives yourself administrator access to the phone operating system, so ics still is on the phone you just have a higher level of access to its operations
I just downloaded the files and ran this video in one corner of the screen and simply copied Inam step by step. My S3 is now rooted. Thank you Inam. Now I can hook up a wireless PS3 controller and make my phone into the best portable retro console in the world.
Yay yay... sorted it.. I thought I was doing something wrong because your odin turned yellow so mines was always blue. When looked around on some forums to find out what I was doing wrong, it was said that newer versions on Odin is blue and not yellow so as long as it finds a port it should work. Well thanks for the info, that was so easy (in the end) .. SUCCESSFULLY ROOTED MY FIRST PHONE!!!
Now i have downloaded the Odin & CF-root file. Gone thro all your steps. Your video is great - simple, clear & straight forward, I like it. But you should tell us to download the necessary sotwares 1st in the early stage, especially for people like me without much knowledge.
Worked for me first time no problem. Galaxy S3 GT-i9300 XXDLID on android version 4.1.1 in the UK. Great "how to" guide...very clear and easy to understand!! Thanks.
I have tried it on s3 android 4.1.2.....it actually works, thanks alot bro,,,,If it failed I knew I had a reason to get s4 tomorrow...cheerz bro, u saved me
hey thanks alot thats was the easy way to root my samsung galaxy s3 phone im new to this and have just changed from an iphone to android and i was worried incase i bricked my phone but this worked great 10 out of 10 mate thank you :D
You did that tutorial spot on. It takes a lot of trust in a person for me to attempt something like this and it just proves that you are trust worthy so thanks a lot. Everything is working nicely for me so far and heck my phone is even a little faster(surprisingly) Can't wait to go ahead and install Ubuntu for my SIII :D
this worked perfectly!!! now i can free some space on my internal; storage!!! it literally took as long as this video to do!!! now to go back and watch the gl to sd video again... oh and i hit subscribe aswell
There is no SU binary installed, and SuperSU cannot install it. This is a problem! If you just upgraded to Android 4.3, you need to manually re-root - consult the relevant forums for your device! help.....

There is no SU binary installed, and SuperSU cannot install it. This is a problem! If you just upgraded to Android 4.3, you need to manually re-root - consult the relevant forums for your device! what can i do ==
Think I may have messed up, Was following the instructions until I got stuck on the Odin bit where I am able to verify if my phone is connected to the PC, was not able to see the yellow box so I disconnected the cable & reconnected a few times & it didn't work. Left the phone and attended to some urgent thing that came up, (kid behaving badly, couldnt ignore), unfortunately the phone went to sleep while I was away and am now struggling to turn it on. Any ideas how to get out of this mess?
Hi, Inam Ghafoor· i have followed all the steps as u requested, but it is not asking for root it say it is still not root when i open SUPERSU it ask for update & when i click update it shows installation failed. please help and CWM Manager popsup error while opening : This version of CWM Manag should be used with CF-Root v5.0 or newer it appears you are running a different kernal. various features have been disabled.
Inam i need help! So i have a international Samsung Galaxy S3 19300 with Android version 4.3. And when i rooted it the way you did on the video it worked, i found SuperSU in the app drawer but when i opened it a message popped up: "There is no SU binary installed and SuperSU can not install one. This is a problem! If you have just upgraded to Android 4.3, you will need to root again - consult the relevant forums for your device!" PLEASE help me, i do not know what to do, please help me! :((
hi, you can download an application from google play which is Super aTool Box-cache. it will you lots of option such as moving apps to an sd card. hope it helps.
i rooted my s4 mini GT-I9190 ....i did everything but at the end when it say RECOVERY BOOTING....another thing is written like this Set Warranty Bit : recovery ??????????????????????????/
i did all the steps, but when i click on CWM, i get the following message: this version of CWM Manager should be used with CF-CWM v1.1 or newer. it appears you are running a different recovery. Various features have been disabled. could you please tell me what to do?
Before you root I've read it's a good idea to back up your files. Is it as simple to just right click and select copy on your pc? How easy is it to put the backup on your phone again?
Pros: -You can install custom ROMs (like HTC Sense, stock Android like on Nexus etc.) -You can overclock your phone to be stronger (I don't think you'll need it on the S3 yet though, it's enough for everything today) -You can use any app that needs root access, and there are a few like that -Cons: -Warranty lost -You can mess it up and no one will help you fix it for free (happened to me once, took me 3 days to fix it by myself)
I did all as you said and all process were same. There were no trouble during any of the process. After I switched off it also said "Android is Upgrading" but when I checked with root checker it says my device has no proper root access. Please Solve this !
Hmmm, the extracted CF root file is not a .tar file, it's just another zip file with the same name. It still has the 2 files in it. Also, I'm not getting the yellow box on Odin to show the phone is connected so I've hit a brick wall with this.
When I open up the CWM app. It says that "This version of CWM manager should be used with CF-CWM v1.1 or newer. It appears you are running a different recovery. Various features have been disabled" How can I fix this problem?
Hi, i followed your all instructions and finally i reached the previous stage. i got two new icons only,CWM and SuperSU.I can't find the root folder.where can i get that.pls help me.
The green box there it never appers. Its not working i followed your steps is the 3rd time i failed. i am pretty sure that i did all the steps right ... I don't know why the phone never power on and anyway always it fails.
I tried but it didn't work so I disconnected my phone from the com but after that it just saved that it had encountered an issue and I tried to recover it using samsung kies but it wouldn't connect what can I do?
![Felix "Unfair" | [Stray Kids : SKZ-PLAYER]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/Oswujxm2Ag0/mqdefault.jpg)
I do everything shown on the vid, but when I run Titanium Backup (not the PRO) it still says "Your phone is not rooted". What's wrong with it?
same problem. any feedback?
same problem. Root checker too shows the same. I am on Int model with 4.3
I think you all have flashed new rom. Ok any way flash super user zip file through clock work mod. Here is the file. download.chainfire.eu/351/SuperSU/UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.65.zip?retrieve_file=1 it worked for me.
libar m i already rooted my device and installed this after what do i do now? i have no idea what im doing please help me!
, Try all the spam sites and when they dont work goto samsunggeeks .us to get your smart phones unlocked.. Really is the best site !
root access is to give you administrative previledges on the phone so you can use apps that require root and use stuff like CWM to do complete backups of the phone, rooting the phone does void the warranty, i think it goes back to factory default if you reset it yes
ok, so i cant get the yellow box on oden.
theres something wrong with the drivers win7 is auto installing. how do i fix this?
Firstly I tried rooting using Chainfires thread on the XDA forums which ALMOST bricked my device!! (he didn't mention ticking the PDA box which I'm guessing was almost the death of my phone)
I was able to boot into download mode and use your glorious video to root my device which had thankfully kept my data intact.
Seriously Inam, you are a hero. Have a great Christmas / New Year.
can i root i9305
You have the same as me ill try and tell If I did it buddy
Perry Harrison same, but does it works?
I rooted and flashed miui rom. awesome
nah +Captain Tie I tries but i just can fiqure it out man im no tech wizard so im not your best source of info
as in the video, its a connectivity problem so try a different cable and a different usb port then also re-install the drivers from the manufacturers website
yes, root only goes away if you reflash with another rom, if you root you will not be able to update
yes you will need it in this rom as well but it comes pre downloaded on it
I have gone accross the wild tundra of the internet, Searching for a video like this. I have a big trip comming up over 1000 miles of driving. I wanted to tether my internet. I needed to root, you sir are amazing. Thank you.
no, rooting gives yourself administrator access to the phone operating system, so ics still is on the phone you just have a higher level of access to its operations
try reconnected the phone then starting up odin if this fails then re-install the drivers for the phone
kind of, it just gives you administrator access to the phone and voids the warranty
I just downloaded the files and ran this video in one corner of the screen and simply copied Inam step by step. My S3 is now rooted. Thank you Inam. Now I can hook up a wireless PS3 controller and make my phone into the best portable retro console in the world.
its a live wallpaper called news wall, it comes as standard on the s3
i can't see it being supported so wait until a test by someone has been done
Brilliant. Five years on and this worked flawlessly for me at the first attempt. I've been looking for instructions on how to do this all morning!
Yay yay... sorted it.. I thought I was doing something wrong because your odin turned yellow so mines was always blue. When looked around on some forums to find out what I was doing wrong, it was said that newer versions on Odin is blue and not yellow so as long as it finds a port it should work.
Well thanks for the info, that was so easy (in the end) .. SUCCESSFULLY ROOTED MY FIRST PHONE!!!
should do but i cannot test, just make sure the cf root file is correct for you firmware version
its called news wall live wallpaper it comes as standard on the S3 not from play store
Followed your instructions to the word and ROOTED my S3 SUCCESSFULLY!! :) :) Thank You Very Much! :)
no, but this process does void the warranty
Now i have downloaded the Odin & CF-root file. Gone thro all your steps.
Your video is great - simple, clear & straight forward, I like it. But you should tell us to download the necessary sotwares 1st in the early stage, especially for people like me without much knowledge.
Worked well without problems. Slight confusing because you talk about a third download which is no longer needed.. But great video :)
you do it with samsung kies software on your pc
have you gone into recovery mode to see it?
volume up + power + home button should get you into recovery console
then backup through kies software
yes i believe some users on here have tested with 4.1.1 and it worked
legend! saved me hours! turns out I had a duff USB port somehow. changed port and followed your ideas and did it with my S3 on 4.3 thanks!
Worked for me first time no problem. Galaxy S3 GT-i9300 XXDLID on android version 4.1.1 in the UK. Great "how to" guide...very clear and easy to understand!! Thanks.
I have tried it on s3 android 4.1.2.....it actually works, thanks alot bro,,,,If it failed I knew I had a reason to get s4 tomorrow...cheerz bro, u saved me
Sweet!!! Its alive :) thumbs up for Chainfire for creating CF root
initially i thought this may not work for jelly bean but some of the viewers have tested and said yes it does
use 7 zip its a free piece of software which does the same job
not this file, but i will be uploading a video for this
don't know as of yet until a update sent out
to unroot simply flash stock firmware

You did that tutorial spot on. It takes a lot of trust in a person for me to attempt something like this and it just proves that you are trust worthy so thanks a lot. Everything is working nicely for me so far and heck my phone is even a little faster(surprisingly) Can't wait to go ahead and install Ubuntu for my SIII :D
Is that Chain Fire (CF) file you used way back when the right one for ALL S3s or just the one specific to the phone you used?
A lot easier than I thought it would be. Thanks for the tutorial.

i rooted my s4 mini GT-I9190 ....i did everything but at the end when it say RECOVERY BOOTING....another thing is written like this
Set Warranty Bit : recovery ??????????????????????????/
i did all the steps, but when i click on CWM, i get the following message:
this version of CWM Manager should be used with CF-CWM v1.1 or newer. it appears you are running a different recovery. Various features have been disabled.
could you please tell me what to do?
Thank you alot...first Tutorial that worked for me, much appreciated and now for the PS3 controller! >:D
Before you root I've read it's a good idea to back up your files. Is it as simple to just right click and select copy on your pc? How easy is it to put the backup on your phone again?
once you have the root access how do you instal a custom rom say, cyanogenmod? and wat is flashing. .is it done before or after rooting?
Bravo!!! I managed to root my s3 by following yr steps... Thnx buddy!!!
I really don't get it...every time I open Odin it doesn't show the yellow bar, but my pc does make the annoying sound that my S3 is connected to it?
Pros:
-You can install custom ROMs (like HTC Sense, stock Android like on Nexus etc.)
-You can overclock your phone to be stronger (I don't think you'll need it on the S3 yet though, it's enough for everything today)
-You can use any app that needs root access, and there are a few like that
-Cons:
-Warranty lost
-You can mess it up and no one will help you fix it for free (happened to me once, took me 3 days to fix it by myself)
I don't understand how the "Android+SLP" interface comes out?
i didnt get the .tar file i got recovery.img and cache.img help witch one i put or none send me file of the .tar file PLEAES

Cheers

+Exther Kepthtyr look, go to SuperSU, then it will ask you for access, then it'll work
i need help my phone is saying something about recovery mode & its at 5 count. My phone wont go back to how it was before. Im sad :(
Hmmm, the extracted CF root file is not a .tar file, it's just another zip file with the same name. It still has the 2 files in it. Also, I'm not getting the yellow box on Odin to show the phone is connected so I've hit a brick wall with this.
Dose it delete all save data from games you have been progressing on, would they be deletet. Yes or no?
When I open up the CWM app. It says that "This version of CWM manager should be used with CF-CWM v1.1 or newer. It appears you are running a different recovery. Various features have been disabled" How can I fix this problem?
while running thether after root, does that eat up data from data plan? thanks! great uploads!
