[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?

Downloadingg...and trying!!

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?

We can still flash using Flashfire. It's just kinda risky because if it doesn't boot properly then you need a computer to restore.
And might I add that if anyone here doesn't know ADB or basic root troubleshooting such as pulling a logcat then you really shouldn't be so quick to want to test.
You will probably be doing more harm than good for both yourself and for the developer. He's expecting bugs. As a "tester" it'll be your job to find and report them. Not to complain about stability, make suggestions or demand ETA's.

Let me know if you need more testers
