Cool [R&D] Get ROOT! SGS3
LOL

might as well start this as it'll be hitting soon

Since it's ICS 4.x the most obvious choice to go about it would be via ODIN assuming, good old odin still works in SGS3

but before all that, we'll need a dump of the SGS3

so whom ever gets you hands on first on a SGS3 try to pull these

dumping / backing up your own stock ROM via adb
adb shell dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p13 of=/sdcard/amss.bin
adb shell dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p17 of=/sdcard/mdm.bin
adb shell dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p24 of=/sdcard/system.img
adb shell dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p22 of=/sdcard/recovery.img
adb shell dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p8 of=/sdcard/boot.img

adb pull /sdcard/amss.bin
adb pull /sdcard/mdm.bin
adb pull /sdcard/system.img
adb pull /sdcard/recovery.img
adb pull /sdcard/boot.img

upload it multiupload or whichever your favourite file hosting service, then we can all hammer out the kernel to root it, and flash it back to the phone

Reminder: you can't dump partitions without root permission.

Which means.. you cannot dump partitions in order to root, as you're not rooted
