ROOT SIII JB 4.1.2-Easy Way

Omessy7 · Mar 12, 2013

Download the PDA file by CF: Over here

Download and install Drivers : Over Here !

Get ODIN: Over Here...

The process is meant for Galaxy S3 I9300

Enable USB debubugging and give it a good charge (though it doesnt really make an effect if off)

_First Power off device.

_after it's off, press and hold: vol.down-home-power

_then press volume up to continue

_then connect your phone to your computer via USB

_Open ODIN as Administrator

(If the phone is connected properly, one of the ID:COM boxes will turn yellow with the COM port numbe)

_Click the PDA tab in Odin and select the CF-Root-SGS3-v6.4.tar.

_In ODIN, check the Auto Reboot and F. Reset Time options. DO NOT TOUCH ANY OTHER OPTION!

_Click on the Start button in ODIN and it will start the installation process.

_Once the installation is done, the phone will restart, you can unplug the phone from the computer.

*And you should be good to go... with CWM too !

EnjoY Your rooted JB 4.1.2 SIII

Tested and verified to be working

if it doesn't work, you need to re-flash with auto reboot unchecked, then boot recovery to trigger installation

NOTE: I CANNOT TAKE RESPONSIBILITY IN CASE YOU DO SOMETHING WRONG OR SOMETHING HAPPENS FOR UNKNOW REASON OR ANYTHING !

Press Thanks if i helped !

Hahaha lol, dude are you serious ?
You can remove the cable as soon as Odin says Done/Reset. USB debugging is not a must. ....

You should also add that if it doesn't work, you need to re-flash with auto reboot unchecked, then boot recovery to trigger installation......but then if you did that this post would be identical almost to chainfires, hence making this post fairly redundant

it will work...anyways will add it... and this is a summary of his journals

thanks

chrismast · Mar 12, 2013

You should maybe add that KIES is turned off or even uninstalled. Otherwise odin will habe problems.

Anyway I guess anyone appreciates your effort but I also don't get the point of this thread as it is already included in the basic guides, in chainfires threads and who else knows where. But anyway thanks.

Playing with words doesn't change a fact that in your guide is small error as there's no need to enable USB debugging in order to use Odin.

yes, if you posses any logic, then all the things in the instruction have some effect on the outcome.

Glebun · Mar 12, 2013

1. this had been posted before.

2. you haven't removed usb debugging from the guide

efrant · Mar 13, 2013

Ok, let's stop with the trolling. If you think something is wrong with the guide, post it and move along. If it is something that will brick someone's device, report it and a moderator will address it. Thanks for your cooperation.

maybe it's a stupid question, but after root my device with your method, is it safe to wipe with the recovery and install a custom rom??? thanks

it is 100%:good: safe if the rom u installed is good and stable but once u wipe data/factory reset it will delete all your data like contacts and messages and google accounts and apps .............ect.
