This is my first time posting so I figured sharing my successful attempt to root using towelroot would be a good starting point..

I realize someone may have already beat me to it but I wanted to let ppl know you should be able to root using the awesome new app towelroot. Things to consider though.. I was on 4.3 ML1.. This was very exciting for me as my PC will not recognize my siii so the fact I was able to do this straight from the device itself is just great news.. Didn't think I could root without a PC.. Well, until now.. This is SO AWESOME! now to install some xposed mods :). Happy rooting :) v

I can confirm TOWELROOT works for VRUCNC1 also! Finally rerooted again. No computer needed either! Go to towelroot.com. :D :good:

confirmed... sch-i535 32gb, 4.3 vrucnc1.... verizon s3.. super easy to install although it does give you a warning to not install it... you gotta allow third party, but then ANOTHER thing pops saying they don't advise it... something i haven't seen before.. anyways i forced it to install.. ran it... 15 seconds after you hit the button it reboots... bam... rooted..

easiest root i've ever done.... used to having to odin... also, i used a third party root check to verify that it wasn't just teasing me... if i weren't unemployed and broke i'd definitely donate...

I'm not at all a noob but totally noob question right now. Can we unlock the bootloader again now after doing towelroot on 4.3, or are we still stuck?

Ah darn. So then towelroot is useless for us.

Not useless. Can root, remove bloat, use ad blocker, tether, some people are using xposed, etc. Just may not be able to run any custom ROMs yet. Safestrap may work to run custom ROMs, but I have not seen an NC1 kernel module. So you would not have WiFi running safestrap on NC1.

Last I heard, NC1 could be rolled back to ML1 and ML1 is saferooted.

so i'm on the NC1 and i've rooted it sucessfully using another method and i was wondering if i use safestrap to use xposed will i have wifi issues? o_O
or does installing another rom using safestrap kill the wifi?
final question: is safestrap the culprit for the wifi not working? o_O

I wonder if Nandroid Manager or Flashify will be able to dd if custom recovery without connecting to pc as well?? I think I may try this method, if anyone else had tried this method, please share, thanks. Also if I have posted this in the wrong section I will remove it. Thanks again everyone.

Getting a custom recovery is easier with ROM Installer.

Please do not try this on VRUCML1, VRUCNC1 or VRUDNE1. You will hard brick your S3.

I Read somewhere that this works for ML1 and NC1 Snoop. Not sure about NE1 though.

They will hardbrick if they attempt to install CWM or TWRP on TW 4.3 or KitKat firmware. Hasn't worked before when people tried using Odin or GooManager to install custom recoveries on VRUCML1 and I'm confident it will be the same result here. I need video proof proving the opposite.

If you are referring to Towelroot, yes this will work on all three.
