You don't
I've tried for the last two hours, I have my S3 rooted, even with an older kernel is this really impossible?? It has to be possible....right? I thought BOG5 was difficult, not impossible. It is just another computer isn't it? There must be a weak spot somewhere. :confused:

Not possible, you should have read up more before assuming it could be rooted..

Edit: Sorry, unless you have upgraded yourself, and not upgraded the bootloader. Which I'm guessing isn't the case here.

It's not that I was assuming it could be rooted, I expected at least some kind of weakness in it. I'm an engineering student, I've been taught that "It is only impossible until it is done." Unfortunately since I posted that the reading I've done on here about it.....You're absolutely right. I've decided to switch phones with my mom who just wants a stock phone so I'm giving her my S5 and buying another Android. But I upgraded in August without hearing of rooting, since then, I have soft-bricked, resoft-bricked and learned so much so fast with my old S3 on 4.4.2 that I think I understand a lot about the phone which means I'm just scratching the surface and know nothing hahaha so no worries, I know I'm still a noob, but I have not spoken yet because I've been reading instead. I just hoped a weak spot was missed. Now I'm swallowing my pride, admitting defeat and going back to an older Android version and doing it hopefully the right way :)
