There is nothing more that you need to do per se. If you want to install JIT then go here.
what I meant was whats next for me? What do I do? What do I do with superuser and busybox? where and how do I get apps and install them? Sorry to bombard you guys with questions, but I'm sure by now you know that i'm extremely new to all these. Please help me learn! Thanks!
Install jit. Remove bloatware. Apply themes. Read forums for answers.
There its lots you can do.

Oh and you don't really do much with superuser and busybox. But they are needed so leave them alone.

Go to Market for apps, get some basic like Titanium Backup and Restore, APN backup and restore. Do a backup, include system settings. Just in case.
There are several threads on JIT, this is one http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=829660
Try just the JIT piece before trying optimization.
Read read read, then read some more, and don't be scared to play about with your phone! I'm all for helping people out, but what you want to know is quite basic stuff that you should be finding out by exploring your phone, and you should really have found out "what next" before actually rooting, and HERE is a good place to start.

This is a great post. Particularly the bold part. The majority of phones functionality that I know of, I've learnt from sitting down and playing with it. Most of the questions on this site can be figured out by just looking through all menus, screen etc.
Not having a go at you, but I don't really understand the "I've rooted my phone, now what?" type posts. Why root if you don't know what it does? Especially given that this forum is all about development rather than "make my phone look cool".
As XperiaX10iUser said, it helps to read as much as you can to get a basic grasp on things. Not trying to deter you from asking questions! Just helps to know what you're actually asking when you do.
Maybe you could start to read few of FAQs from the link of my signature?
Thanks everyone! I will do some research and play with my phone more. One of the reasons why I'm kind of scared to really play with my phone is because i'm afraid I might "brick" it =/ what are some of the things a Noob should avoid doing so he doesn't brick his device?

Props to SE, the X10 is pretty unbrickable. I haven't come across anyone who wasn't able to recover their phone. It can be a pain in the ass but do-able. If you do start playing with modding your phone, chances are you will get the yellow exclamation mark of doom at some point, but a little patience and some more reading and you'll be right! Chances are someone else has had the same issue too, so the search tool can be your friend.
The only tip I really have is don't "play" with it late at night when you know you're going to need your phone the next day!
I"m trying to use superoneclick that came with the JIT v2 files, however, I'm having looping problem with shellroot, and i have spend like an hour re-doing it, but it is still looping. Is it because I rooted using z4root? should I re-root it with superoneclick? I tried the "allow non-market apps" and it works fine. It only loops when I try to shell root. I have not tried the rooting option in superoneclick yet..... my debug is checked, and I press "charge phone" when the option pop up, but superoneclick is just killing and starting ADB server. Please help!!
also, I did some search for the multi touch option, but I couldnt find it. How do I enable ( or get) the multi touch option that was otherwise unavailable to un-rooted x10? Thanks for all the helps!

opsss..
i dunno how to install it...
I have been reading some threads about rooting. But then i asked myself is it worth?? . I mean what are the benefits that i get from rooting device?
I just dont get what's the point of rooting the device
If you have to ask, then it's probably not worth it for you.
What are the benefits that i get from rooting?

Bottom line: more control. Both helpful if you need it, and very dangerous. It allows you to change system level stuff, which lets you change icons/themes/system apps/etc. (which, if you don't know what you're doing, will make it very easy for you to break things on your phone - resulting in problems, bootloops, even bricks)
EDIT to add: maybe you should just read this and this.
Also it let's you remove bloteware like stock apps that you don't need but like Ctomgee said it is dangerous if you don't know what you are doing

If you never used a custom rom, then rooting is not for you. The best thing rooting does is gives you the control of the phones. In simple words, it a thing for advanced users only.
I never rooted until a week ago and now I'm rooted running AEON all themed and nice lol.

I was thinking like that but now I have stock but rooted and the benefits are :
- You can backup all ur data
- I used a mod to change the status bar icons(check my signature), but u can find mods for everything
- you can install a custom rom
now its better that I have everything backed up . Good luck in making your choice .
Rooting is like hacking it gives u super user permissions like all admin rights,u can take control of each part of ur phone,,cause there r apps tht allow u do tht wen ur rooted...its like a coin with 2 side god and bad...if u don kno wat ur doing afta rooting u can brick or make it useless or it may bcome problamatik.i rooted only for backup and some apps thts all not for ov,oc,tweaks.....

Read the FAQS and GUIDES but understand Rooting or custom roms void warranty .

rooting is fun when u get the hang of it
Hello!
I'm sorry but I'm new to Samsung rooting.
I would like to ask if there is a simple way to root the S3.
All I need is to run applications that need root access.
I do not need any stock ROMs.
All I need is to run SuperSU for applications that need root access.
Thanks
This belongs in another section... don't u think???
There are plenty of options to do as u request just have a better look around.

My advice is to slow down, use the search button, read and research, then read some more..
Also, don't post questions like these in this section, there are Q&A forums for that.. preferably for your own device. This thread will probably be moved, or removed.. see here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1904019.

If you really a noob in this business, I advise you to first get familiar with basics of Android.
Here is the link, learn about these carefully. It might come in handy in the future. https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1930844
Here is another one. It is about pros and cons of rooting your device and in generally what 'truly' is rooting. https://www.technorms.com/5591/pros-cons-rooting-android-phone
There are few ways you can root your device. Surely, each way has its own pros and cons. But as far as I know, there 2 ways you can root your device quickly.
1. Kingoroot
2. Rooting through ADB
Kingoroot, is the easiest of all rooting methods. It is basically a 'one-click' root app. But since there is no thorough checking on what truly is happening under the hood while rooting through this method, I flag it is un-safe. It does the job but personally I believe it is unsafe.
If you need any help, we all are here. But don`t forget to get knowledge from different sources on your own. Trust me, it will help you alot even when something goes wrong. Goodluck :good:
