Odin -Failed- during PDA

---

Guys I sold my old HTC One X for a used Galaxy s3 so I'm very happy with how it's been so far and I'm not regretting it at all.

It's firmware is 4.0.4 and I wanted to root my phone.
Galaxy model I'm using is the i747

I followed this guide: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QJss1...b3AMT1POhpYeXG
I did tried the step by step guide and video but I always got stuck and problems at the PDA section. It says FAIL.

I did tried searching for a fix but it seems even though I'm not the first neither the last with this problem I had no idea how to fix it.

I also tried the MACosx version with Heimdall and exactly the same, it fails during the PDA part.

What is my solution?

Thank you so much!

That link doesn't appear to be working. It could a bad file download. Maybe try downloading the root file(s) again. If you're doing this from Windows, there are several root methods to choose from in the general section I believe

That's the rooting process for the international version of the GS3...
You want to root the i747 unless you have the international version i9300... In that case you are in the wrong forum.


Edit...

If you do have the i747 than all the steps and instructions and files you need for rooting is here

Thank you, the one I'm using is the i747.
I also heard there's a newer rooting update.

Things may fail if you do not use the original cable that came with the phone.

Before I start rooting it... what back programs you guys recommend me?

I tried titanium but titanium requieres rooting and my phone is not yet rooted.

Back up of all phone.

Once you root you'll install recovery and backup everything in recovery.
