[ROOT] Alternative Root Method

I have a much simpler and hassle free root method. Is anyone willing to test?
It doesn't involve flashing kernels or roms via odin or dumping images via adb.
So anyone willing to test?
I do not respond to tech support via PM

I am, but could you explain the proces?

Does it work?! Does it increase flash counter? Does it modify device status? Does it work on 4.1.1 or only 4.1.2? Uhmm.... so many questions

might try this...lose my root and cwm recovery after updating firmware....

I don't think it increase your binary count.

Question
Anybody tried?
BTW how to check the binary counter state? What is the original value of the counter? How can I check whether it is changed?

All right ....it worked I will give a full step by step how to root with pic and details today

Well if it works then you sir deserve many thanks, 5 stars and a sticky!
Interesting question though: how did you manage to bypass the required samsung signing?

If you want to root, I recommend doing your research to gain some confidence. But as long as you follow instructions (on a working method, of couse) you will be fine.
As for your warranty, if you don't run a custom kernel or recovery it won't void. (Only viable for some methods such as towelroot).

Towelroot is the best way

FAQS and GUIDES.are stickied learn the basics .
Baseband is not relevant .
You require firmware not baseband .

So this means I can flash different roms with different baseband?

1. Install this APP.
2. Go to the tab: CSC Code and look for the Active CSC Code.
3. (with computer) Go to Sammobile and look for the 3 letters of your CSC (This will be the original and CORRECT firmware for your device).
4. Download, unzip and flash it via ODIN.

Thanks for the instructions, will try it when I get home

How to Undo root and accept latest updates

I just got a phone back I rooted for a family member two years ago solely for the purpose of obtaining hotspot. It has stock rom.
What info can I give you that will enable you to point me in the right direction to uproot and sell without issue?
I've been away from this kind of of stuff for a couple of years.

Thanks for the tip, just now getting around to it.
Are you saying to go to the firmware section and download the latest firmware?
Isn't there something I have to check , like making sure the PDA matches my baseband version or something?

No, because this will change your Baseband as well.

Thanks- just take the top one for sprint and follow the instructions sounds like. Appreciate the tip! Anywhere where this download is available at a faster clip?
