Rooting the S3 - Galaxy S III General

I'm having real issues getting ODIN to recognise my S3 in download mode, it starts installing the drivers and then fails
Any help would be great.

Download the SIII toolkit by Mskip. And follow that. Yea the Sammy drivers are annoying and crap on my PC too.

Have you actually installed Samsung USB drivers/ Kies //

Yeah, I've tried that and uninstalled Kies (but left the drivers) still nothing. The S2 was simple, why is this giving me grief? I tried the Q&A section but all their trouble shooting points seem to be letting me down.

Exact same as SGS2
suggest total removal of KIES/ Samsung USB drivers software and registry entries .

Not sure if everyone else knows but there is a easy way to load a rom on the vibrant.
In rom manager:
1. Select install rom from sd
2. Select your rom from the list
3. Select wype
4. And press ok
I've don't it and it works! No more going into CWM.

Not really.
Rom Manager has issues still, CWM doesn't.
CWM has more features and its safe, because the phone's UI and everything is off.
CWM is the most used, because well, its on every rooted phone.
I prefer using CWM because its safer with more options
Not tryin to be an ass but fear676 you have 4 threads in the front page right now.. Is that really necessary?

I see it like the difference between flashing a BIOS update from the command prompt compared to doing it within windows. While the windows version is usually safe, the odds of things getting messed up is greater.
Just figured out how to use the app. Plus don't we have to have 10 posts to start commenting on otherwise threads in here? Correct me if im wrong!

Android Anonymous XDA Discussion Thread

This thread is for discussing all themes, mods and rom's made by Android Anonymous.
Our rom was not locked due to safety issues. It is perfectly fine to.flash.
I never accepted donations... I don't do it for money... and it is a pain to find and put all of that together with no issues manually if someone didn't put it in a 'rom'. There are alot if other rom development that do the same thing. I didn't bring any 'wonders' to the epic. People like the people you listed. I didn't know the kernel was part of a payed rom and neither did b-reezy. Someone else (unnamed) sent us a link to the rom without informing us it was donate ware. On a side fact, requiring money of a firmware based on a free os by Samsung and Google without proper permission would be illigal and since it is just a modified Samsung kernel without permissions to require money for the rom that contains it, it is technically free. But it wasnt do to anything about being donate-ware, it was due to with it cantaining a part of bonsai. Stop spamming the thread with this crap. I won't switch to a different kernel until ext4 is made by someone other than bonsai... Hopefully that clarifies it all.

I have some sort of glitch going on here. All of a sudden my touchscreen became totally unresponsive when the keyboard is closed. I flashed my nandroid backup and its still not working. Is there possibly some button I could have accidently hit while my phone was in my pocket that disables touchscreen?

about rooting

I just wanted to give my opinion about rooting, I'm sure a lot of people like to do so, but on this device I don't think that you need to, I did a root on my .gs1 because of lag, then my arc needed more then root lol but my sgs 3 so far the best phone that I ever seen, not perfect, but as for lag, battery life, speed its top!
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda premium
There a a ton of reasons to root besides lag.
I have an app that requires root that keeps my clock in sync with the actual atomic clock time. The system clock will, over time, be too fast or too slow which means that eventually my phone is a few minutes off.
I have an app that requires root that is used to freeze/quarantine bloatware.
I have an app that requires root that allows me to backup not only my applications, but the application data as well.
I also enjoy root for custom ROMs and kernels that have less lag/stutter than the phone normally does (and yes, this still applies to the Samsung Galaxy S3).
There are always reasons to root.
I understand, I'm not saying not too, for me if the phone is good I'm leaving it stock
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda premium
Root no >> then no Nandroid and No TB no Ad Blocker . No push apps .

Rooting has absolutely nothing to do with reducing lag or anything at all performance wise.
Rooting just gives you superuser permissions on your device.
Even if you are running an octo core phone with 5gb of ddr3 ram, rooting still offers benefits.

I fail to see the reason for this topic.
You choose not to root your phone and seem to have no idea what rooting actually means.
Fine by me, why should I or anyone else care what you personally do and do not do with your phone?
ok I have another question is there a root where could just download an app like a old g s one?

I rooted because the T-Mobile not sound was annoying. Without root, I couldn't get rid of it. Also ad block needed to be done.

Galaxy Phones are hard to hardbrick (not revivable through simple software and/or a 2$ USB-Jig)
By following the instructions in the General section ('following' meaning 'reading', not 'assuming' or 'trying') you're on a quick and painless root.

It works on the Samsung camera, although I now use the stock 4.2 one anyway.
The only problem it doesn't solve (that I know of) with using 240 dpi is the keypad being very small on the Phone, which doesn't really matter to me.
