Pretty much any method is fairly streamline now. There's a root toolkit that does all the work for you, all you have to do is enter in a number that relates to the command when you run it. Be certain you are using the proper root method for your carrier and follow all instructions carefully.
Tripping the flash counter happens when you flash your recovery via odin. It triggers the built in counter in download mode to show that you have "tampered" with the device, and therefor can be refused warranty work. To avoid this, use either ADB through command line, or terminal emulator.

I agree that there is a lot of posts all over the place but to all fairness, there is posts in this same section http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1722344 that shows you exactly what to do to root.
I agree that you NEED TO READ. If you aren't willing to do the research you're going to have an expensive brick instead of an amazing phone running Jelly Bean roms or whatever you choose.
Also, don't just rely on one thread. Read multiple so you see opinions and suggestions.

Don't think it matters if you trip the flash counter any more there's an app to get rid of it Triangle Away. Also be careful many people have Lost there Imei# and now have a very expensive mp3 player. Might be a good idea to wait until they figure out how to back up imei first.

I literally got my phone, read here for 30 min and had a rooted phone in 45 after the phone arrived. Bottom line is u didn't read. Don't give me that shot that there are so many threads. Check the stickies. It's right there man. Sorry to be a ****, but I can't stand lazy people.

I think it's funny how quick everyone is to tell people to read - When there are likely many threads that you've started that a google search could've solved in 5 minutes. He had plenty of other questions that had nothing to do with how to root his device. Yes reading can help solve most of his issues, but when you have the possibility of turning a 600$ phone completely worthless, it doesn't hurt to ask questions.
Really, get over yourselves.
Good call I have spent probably a week reading not only this forum but others as well and find numerous conflicting methods for rooting. There's nothing wrong with asking that's why there's a questions forum to begin with.:thumbup:

I bet you upgraded from iphone(like me). Coming to your question, it depends on the model you are on. Check this galaxys3root dot com . Max got videos for rooting all models of S3. They are pretty much simple. happy rooting!!!

It is pretty straight forward. Make sure you have the drivers installed before rooting. In short, follow the instructions to the point. If you are worried about tripping your flash counter, there is a specific root method you follow. If you do not care, then you can use the tool kit. If you look through the posts in the development section, you will easily find it. PM me if you need help.
When I plug my phone into computer it finds my device drivers. Will that work or do I have to download them from the link provided?

Not to sound mean... But if you are asking about basic stuff, you might want to:
- Read some threads before you start flashing
- use the search function
- follow the thread instructions following the above two suggestions.
Try to troubleshoot yourself first... All your issues are solvable by searching.

I agree with this POV.
If someone is having trouble simply installing/updating CWM, they absolutely need to do more reading, or chances are they will badly mess up their phone.
Using ODIN and installing CWM are rooting 101, and I would advise any SGS3 user to make sure they know these 2 bits of software inside and out, before jumping into CM9/CM10, as both are not fully stable, and will require additional knowledge to get them working correctly, if it is yet possible given the current build states of each.
If CWM installs, or ODIN flashes are not pieces of cake for you, you should probably pick a different ROM until they are.
Yes we all started somewhere, but a big tip from experienced users to noobs, is to learn how to swim, before jumping in the deep end. And CM9/CM10 is definitely the "deep end" of the Android pool, at least until the builds reach RC status, if not at least beta, as things wont work, or are yet to come upstream.
It takes as much time to flame as it does to post helpful advice. How do you want to be remembered?
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda premium
Telling some one that cant swim, how to jump into the deep end, is not my idea of "helpful" advice.
Sometimes the "helpful" advice is.. "you are not ready yet"
It may not be what the person wanting to jump into the deep end wants to hear, but it may save their phone, until they know what they need to, to get where they want to be.

Thanks man...:good:
I know the sense of panic you have when you trash your phone, here's hoping some users understand that by searching first, almost 98% of the answers are out there.
That being said, I am willing to help out, given what I know, but I am willing to bet there are posts already done that lay it out there, step by step, on how to recover from this...???
Again, to anyone seeing this, not trying to be a **** here, but the search function really has tremendous value when looking, don't just try one term, use several variants of terms when searching. I bet you'll find something, heck..you may find out something off your first search topic that'll get you there better or quicker.
OP ...have you looked at this? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1736476
Well I'm yet to find a detailed guide, I haven't been able to find one - I'm not going to do something based off a bad or poorly written guide, I am not going to risk breaking my new galaxy s3. I am yet to find a guide that suits my standard of usage; it would be nice for someone to point one out to me instead of making a debate oh whether I can or can not do something - please don't consdend me.

I take it you have the SGS3 for AT&T, correct?
What exactly do you need a guide for, upgrading CWM?
I take you are rooted, what version of CWM do you have, and what version are you trying to upgrade to?
What version & build of CM are you trying to install, the file name should give the specifics?
Does the ODIN count matter to you?
okay download CWM for your phone from :http://clockworkmod.com/rommanager
Rename it to recovery.img , and copy the file to your phone's internal /sdcard
Grab android terminal emulator from the play store and run the same commands starting with su in the box below.
just type: su
then
dd if=/sdcard/recovery.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p18

Flash the stock 2.3.4 with root and then flash siyah or entropy's kernel for CWM. There's your spoon feeding for the day
Sent from team Pirate! Using Tapatalk 2
Questions belong in the Q&A forum, not general.
Many of the methods will not work. You can flash a custom kernel which injects root (increments the flash counter.) There is a rooted stock ICS in the original development section (does not increment the flash counter.)
No no no! Creepy, they don't want the EASY way dude. Have u learned nothing? They want to update with kies. So they can make a thread about not being able to update with kies. Then make another about the correct drivers and how kies sucks in general. Then they wanna use that for 2 days , find out how bad it sucks, then try and flash back to something else with Odin. Except they can't get Odin to work. New thread time again! Then once they get that spoon feeding goodness they wanna Odin back to stock and flash a new ROM. Except....wait for it....they're getting status 7 errors cause they're trying to flash a ported i9100 rom! New thread baby!!!

Yes there are many links for rooting on that page. Can be quite confusing and not one tutorial that I saw which was simply laid out. You don't need to flash a kernel to root. You don't need to worry about the flash counter. You simply need to install CWM with odin and install superuser with CWM Go here and follow the directions.

A Google search for "root galaxy note I717" brings up 4 links to the same site, 2nd link down is for a very simple ICS root method w/video (linked above by Agoattamer) on rootgalaxynote.com.

The title should be edited as well, perhaps "Which root method for. . .[ Solved]" because it is vague and won't show up in search results.
I had 4.1.1 unlocked and rooted. I reverted back to stock and locked bootloader updated to 4.1.2 and had a bootloop. I ran the no you verizon and it fixed the bootloop but it won't give me root or unlock my bootloader. I would upload my pastebin but limited due to little posts.

for those having problems with roms pre vramc3 and are having boot loop problems I would recommend getting a usb jig on eBay or Amazon or making one.

It'll save you a ton of time dealing with those finicky pit files and spending hours on Odin.
Then you can download whatever stock Rom and flash it with Odin!

You can always get around the url posting by doing something like wwwDOTgoogleDOTcom or something similar.

for those having problems with roms pre vramc3 and are having boot loop problems I would recommend getting a usb jig on eBay or Amazon or making one.

It'll save you a ton of time dealing with those finicky pit files and spending hours on Odin.
Then you can download whatever stock Rom and flash it with Odin!

Dude please stop telling people about JTags and JIGs on eBay if their phone can boot then there is a 99.9% chance that there is a fix or workaround for what they're experiencing...usually people are not explaining the problem correctly but even still this guy said his phone is working and he is up and running....straight to the point just please stop telling people they need to buy extra stuff without first trying to help them or fully understanding what exactly the problem is that theyre experiencing....i know you want to help which in my opinion is fantastic but even if you dont know the answer try and look it up for them or direct them in the right place for further assistence before telling them they need to buy something which in reality is just not the case

I posted that before shangrila corrected me. You're right, I'm sorry :/ I won't be recommending that at all. I think those were the only two posts I made about them. Sorry!

Its fine man it really is....most of the time if you can AT THE VERY LEAST boot your phone into download mode then you should be okay and there is probably a fix but you just have to find it....keep helping people man even just pointing someone in the right direction is a much much much better way to go about helping than telling someone to buy something that is very unnecessary.... Keep it up though man you'll be fine just please stop with the JTags and JIGs lol
So I reverted my bootloader back to 4.1.1 unlocked and rooted it again. Updated my radio to 4.1.2 now I feel like I have my phone again.
