Is it possible to root the SGS3 (international version) without access to a Windows machine? I have a laptop running Ubuntu 12.04, and can connect to the phone using adb, but no access to a Windows machine.

No, not yet possible afaik. You need a computer and Odin or Heimdal. Heimdal seems to be working on linux i heard, but not sure. Search google for heimdal for linux.

Thanks, search for heimdal for Linux returned a link on galaxys3root.com (sorry, XDA is refusing to let me post the full link) and I downloaded the image from downloadandroidrom.com. This includes heimdall_1.3.2_i386.deb. So now I'm working on this. So far, every time I reboot into recovery I get the stock <3e> recorvery console that refuses to load the unsigned ClockworkMod image, but will keep working on it.

Well good luck, see the link above from vegeta1. :fingers-crossed:
No joy unfortunately. I use heimdall to upload the recovery image:
heimdall flash --recovery /tmp/recovery.img
and it says "RECOVERY upload successful" but then when I reboot to the recovery menu, it's the stock Android one not ClockworkMod. Any ideas?
No I am sorry, not familiar with ubuntu or heimdal. I use Odin.

Do you have usb debugging enabled on your phone?

Solved! The cure is to run:
heimdall flash --no-reboot --recovery recovery.img
then reboot by taking the battery out and putting it back in again. I then held down volume-up, power, and home as it booted, though I don't know if this last part is necessary.
I'm now gloriously rooted! Thanks for all your help.
Happy for you

Instructions updated based on creepyncrawly's thread found here .
1.) How to root by using DooMLoRD's Easy Rooting Toolkit. (ZergRush Exploit) (Windows)
[*]Not working for KK6 2.3.6[*]
Download the "DooMLoRD's Easy Rooting Toolkit v3.0" package from this thread and extract it to a directory on your hard drive using WinZip or a similar program.
You need to have the USB drivers for SGH-I777 installed on your computer. (It will be "Samsung USB Driver for Mobile Phones" in Control Panel\Uninstall Programs.) Download and install the latest drivers from this thread. (x86 and x64)
Both USB Debugging (Menu\Settings\Applications\Development) and Unknown Sources (Menu\Settings\Applications) should be enabled on your phone.
Increase the screen timeout on your phone to 10 minutes. (Menu\Settings\Display\Screen Timeout) Remember to set it back to a shorter interval after you are done rooting.
Connect the USB cable to the phone and the computer. Go to the directory where you extracted the package and execute "runme.bat".
The toolkit will open a command prompt window where you will see the progress of the rooting process. It takes between 5 and 10 minutes for the process to complete.
Success. You're rooted.
2.) How to root by using SuperOneClick Root. (ZergRush Exploit) (Windows, Linux and Mac OS)
[*]Not working for KK6 2.3.6[*]
Download "SuperOneClick v2.3.1 - Automatic Driver Installation" from MultiUpload and extract it to a directory on your hard drive using WinZip or a similar program.
Please go the the SuperOneClick thread and read about the tool and how to use it. For Windows XP you need to have .NET Framework v2.0 or above installed. For Mac OS and certain flavors of Linux, you need to install Mono.
I have not tested this tool. It is included here because it claims to work for Mac OS and Linux, and provides a way to use the ZergRush Exploit on those operating systems. Since I am only familiar with Windows, I will be unable to support this rooting method. For problems, try posting questions in the SuperOneClick thread linked above.
If you try SuperOneClick on Linux or Mac, please post your (success or failure) results. Thanks.
3.) How to root by flashing Entropy512's Return/Unbrick to Stock, Kernel + Rooted System Package with Modem using Odin3 One-Click Downloader (Windows)
I have prepared Odin3 One-click Downloaders for the Stock non-rooted and Stock + Root packages. Each One-click Downloader also contains the Modem. This will make flashing back to stock or flashing root in Windows easier. These were tested and flashed successfully on my device. These could be posted in the OP for convenience.
Odin3 One-click Downloader I-777 UCKH7 Stock + Root No Bootloaders
I777_UCKH7_OCD_Root_No_BL.7z
(This one-click downloader flashes: zImage, factoryfs.img with root, and modem.bin)
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
How to Use:
Download the 7 zip package. Extract the contents of the zip file to a directory on your hard disk drive.
Start the Odin3 One-Click Downloader program by double clicking on "I777UCKH7 OCD No BL.exe" or "I777UCKH7 OCD Root No BL.exe".
Now Enter Download Mode:
With the phone powered off, plug in the usb cable while holding the vol up + vol down buttons (but not the power button).
When the warning screen appears, press Volume up to continue into download mode.
In Odin, the small edit box in the upper left corner will turn yellow, and say something like [0:COM8]. The number could be different.
Click Start. Watch the progress bar advance in green while the message box in the lower area describes the steps. When the flash is finished, the top left larger edit box will turn green and say PASS! and your phone will automatically reboot.
Unplug the usb cable from you phone after it boots up. Success.
The above is from creepyncrawly, found here.
4.) How to root by flashing Entropy512's Return/Unbrick to Stock, Kernel + Rooted System Package from the command line using Heimdall (Linux and Mac OS)
Tested on Linux, should work on Mac OS
Download and install the latest version of Heimdall Command Line for your operating system from here. (Latest version 1.3.1 at this writing.)
Download Entropy512's Return/Unbrick to Stock, Kernel + Rooted System Package from here. Extract the PDA.tar file from this package to a directory on your hard disk drive, then extract the two component files from the tar - zImage and factoryfs.img.
Place zImage and factoryfs.img both in the directory where you have the Heimdall command line executable, and enter the following at the command prompt:
Code:
heimdall flash --kernel zImage --factoryfs factoryfs.img
Reboot the phone. Success. You're Rooted.
Super simple, Thanks!!

I can not for the love of God figure out why odin 1.8.2 is not recognizing my phone. I tried it first with debugging on, then off. Different ports. I know the drivers work because i can mount it and add or remove files from it. I get to downloading(do not turn off target) but Odin does not say COM1 or what not. Any suggestions/
I feel I missing something obvious, unless this driver is different then the captivate driver?

Same for me... Odin goes smoothly but SuperOneClick crashes after closing and trying to restart adb
Hmm..
Two issues I am having with this. The first and most important is that I cannot seem to flash any other ROMs - or even other versions of Clockwork Mod with this. I get "signature verification failed". I've checked the MD5 of the downloaded files and it all seems to check out, so I'm unsure if this is intentional or not.
I've also now got an annoying big yellow exclamation point on boot. It doesn't really impede anything, but it is... absolutely infuriating how it stares at me with its yellowness.. It really isn't a big deal, though.
I'm going to try to reflash a third time, though, maybe it will solve itself.
Will this work with Heimdall?
I have looked but I cannot find anything on how to get fastboot for Nook Tablet working (and yes I do have CM9 0.05.1) and I want to flash recovery but it is not recognizing my Nook. All it has on device manager is Other Devices/ Acclaim with an exclamation point. Please help
Hi, have you installed adb succesfully in your pc previously?
If yes then the next thing you need is fastboot.exe file, if not then start with that first then fastboot.
You can find what you need here, also if you search in my threads (link in my signature) you can find a tutorial about how to install and use ADB.

Acclaim
I have the same challenge. I have ADB working successfully (and have used Veronica's guide to repartition my NT - thanks again). Yet when I use Cyanoboot and start Fastboot my device shows up in Other Devices as Acclaim and none of the USB drivers I have pointed to get installed. It isn't mission critical that I solve this but it would be nice from a knowledge base to understand what I am missing in case I ever need to use Fastboot. It seems to be a much easier tool to change the installed Recovery image than ADB. Any help would be appreciated.
adb works for me. i currently have cyanoboot, when i try to go to start fastboot to install a new recovery, i notice in my device manager there is an uninstalled driver called "Acclaim". Already tried the NT drivers for it and it didn't work. Any ideas? I recently flashed succulent's cm7 image which had a cwm v5.0.x and i want to flash cwm v 5.5.x. Already tried using indirect's NT recovery flasher and no go on that...

I don't have windows so I won't comment on that. There is one thing that I never see mentioned when talking of adb access problems.
On custom roms (your case cm9 0.05.1) in settings, developer options, Android debugging should be checked to allow adb access. If not checked that may be your issue.
If I'm having adb issues and it was working previously I'll boot to cwm (5.5.0.4 version not 5.0.2 or whatever) and go from there.
You should get adb working properly, but to flash recovery you can use one of the flashable zip files while in cwm. They work for me!
Got a few minutes on a windows 7 pc (people should take their breaks at their desk). If you are using Veronicas thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=22049356&postcount=1 you will find a file runmefirst.bat if you run it and follow instructions about unplugging and replugging nook it will create and setup the previously mentioned file. Do not run zergy as suggested. When it pulls device manager your exclamation should say nook. Right click it, update driver software, browse my computer, let me pick, and then choose the directory with your usbdrivers, tell it yes to use them. Do not worry about anything else from runmefirst.bat including anything else to run. You just want it to set the codes for your nt and then it is of on use.
I had adb working for my nt quickly on that windows 7 pc. It had no previous adb or usb drivers installed.
Good Luck
I got nook tablet drivers installed and it works for adb however fastboot still has acclaim!

like i said in a previous post, right click the acclaim item under other devices and look for the product id and edit the android_winusb.inf accordingly.
after that right click acclaim, update driver software, and browse for the drivers yourself. if all goes well fastboot should work. this is how i did it. not that i ever really use fastboot but its good to have just in case.
Is there any step-by-step tutorial on how to flash NT with fastboot? I have tried to search, but still could not get it work.

Why not flash your NT using SD-based CWM Recovery (e.g., see http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=37515697&postcount=31)?
The easiest way under windows, is just choose the driver on your own, use the driver from the Android SDK (sdk\extras\google), and you will be presented with a couple of options, choose Android Composite ADB Interface.
This guide is for the select few that need to root their Samsung Galaxy S4 via Mac.
This guide only shows how to swap kernels in order for you to run motochopper then swap back to stock kernel.
Please keep in mind this is technical and involves using manual commands for heimdall in terminal.
If you have anything to add or have any questions, don't hesitate to ask.
I have tested this method using Heimdall on my Windows 7 machine.
I do not own a Mac to fully test this.
I am not an expert nor do I portray myself to be one.
I am not responsible to any problems from this method including bricking any devices, loss of data, or other issues that may arise with your device or computer. (Just to cover my behind.)
Things you need:
1. Heimdall
2. prerelease kernel boot.img (MD5: cd49d9c337d624abec5f6f1229e1abf6)
3. stock kernel boot.img (MD5: 3c776b87c2c1390787189e60d311c769)
4. Motochopper Root Exploit Tool
5. Drivers can be installed by installing Kies
First install Heimdall.
And make sure you have the drivers installed.
Make sure you have the prerelease kernel boot.img (MD5: cd49d9c337d624abec5f6f1229e1abf6) in an easy place to find and make sure you keep it seperate from the stock kernel boot.img (MD5: 3c776b87c2c1390787189e60d311c769).
If you have Kies installed, uninstall it.
Then open the heimdall-frontend application that was installed with heimdall.
Use the heimdall-frontend app to detect the device by going to Utilites > Detect.
Next open a terminal type
Code:
sudo heimdall flash --BOOT <full path to prerelease kernel>
Enter your password.
The prerelease kernel will be flashed and your device will reboot.
Go to Settings > More > About phone
and check to make sure your kernel version is 423399.
Then go into Settings > More > About phone > tap "Build number" about 7 times until it unlocks Developer options
Verify in Developer options setting on your device that you have "USB debugging" checked.
Verify in Developer options setting on your device that you have "Verify apps via USB" unchecked.
Verify in Security setting on your device that you have "Unknown sources" checked.
Verify in Security setting on your device that you have "Verify apps" unchecked.
Extract the motochopper.zip file.
Open terminal, navigate to the motochopper folder and type
Code:
sudo chmod +x run.sh
Then type
Code:
sudo ./run.sh
Follow the on screen prompts.
After you are rooted, make sure you update the su binaries.
Otherwise you will lose root later on.
Next boot your phone into download mode in order to put the stock kernel back.
Open the heimdall-frontend application and detect your device once again. (Utilities > Detect)
Next open a terminal and type
Code:
sudo heimdall flash --BOOT <full path to stock kernel>
Then go to Settings > More > About phone
and make sure the stock 562219 kernel is installed.
Credits go to djrbliss, chainsdd, Samsung, creators of Heimdall, and if I missed anybody please let me know and I will add them to it.
Thanks to Doppletronica for confirming the method.

So just to clarify, are you saying the whole process worked for you?
Whereas you successfully rooted your phone?

Man.....I wish I saw this yesterday. I spent 2 hours getting my old imac up and running with bootcamp to install windows.....another hour looking for my old XP disc to actually install it on the iMac, another half hour to install XP, then a good 45 minutes or so trying and failing to gett all the samsung drivers to wok (too several installs and unistalls til it finally worked). After all that, I downloaded the all in one root kit and install recovery as well.

I got this same error. What I did was uninstall kies and then open the heimdall-frontend app that was installed with heimdall, and use it to detect the phone. (In Utilities->Detect) From there I could run the command line part successfully. Worked for me.

I got heimdall frontend to detect the device, where do I type in the commands? Under which tab?

The guide has been updated.
You need to continue the process in terminal.

Install TWRP 2.3.6.2 in the simplest fashion
How to Install
It will require that drivers be installed and the device must be rootedDownload the file and unpack itUSB debugging must be enabled and connect the Gpad as MTPclick to run it with the right mouse button as an Administrator and follow the instructions for connection type "yes" to the recovery to start or "no" for exit
Download TWRP 2.6.3.2 installer
This is the easiest way without any write or copy something and paste to install TWPR 2.6.3.2.I have tested it with 10a/b/c and with Windows 7 64 bit it works great
Use only at your own risk, I take no responsibility if your device is damaged!
Sorry for my bad English!
Thanks a lot for this! Worked great on my new g pad.
Doesn't work for me ...

Run as administrator? Which operating system?
Doesn't work for me either, unpacked as said, I have a rooted Gpad with USB-debugging enabled, MTP-mode, but it says that ADB isn't recognized as an batchfile or program...or something (translated from dutch...)

TWRP RECOVERY INSTALL VIDEO
please put the video in the OP if you think it will help
OOPS.
Is this twrp the same as the other one posted in the forum? Just an easier install for this one?
Thanks for this script... Today was a lazy day
Thanks for this. Not tried it yet as I already installed a version of TWRP, but can you update it to flash 2.7 that was announced today / yesterday?
Is the device repo to build this TWRP public?
Hello everyone,
I tryed multiple time to flash my phone (original ROM) with Odin and other software. Every time the connection cannot be established. I have tried with different computers and different cables, including the original one. I came to the conclusion that Micro USB connector in my phone is broken. I can still recharge but data transfer is not possible.
I have an SD card where i can put a ROM in order to update my phone. But if i'm correct that isn't possible if I don't have ClockworkMod Recovery.
So finaly my question: Is it possible to root install a custom recovery without a cable and without root?
So in oder words: If it's not rooted and i have the Stocked recovery I can't do anything without the usb connector.
Version out of the box:
Device: GT-I9300
Android version 4.3
Baseband I9300BOUGMK3
Kernel version:
3.0.31.2303192
[email protected] #1
Build number:
JSS15J.I9300XXUGML2
Have a nice day!

My question to you would be why do you want custom recovery when you do not want root access??

I would like both. But at this moment I have no USB connector (broken). So I have some kind of a boostrap issue.
Without root no flashing from device
Without custom recovery no root and no other rom.
You need to look for a custom recovery that can be flashed using the update.zip facility in stock. I'm not aware of one but happy searching.

Then you have to flash a "CF-root.tar" file with odin. Then your stock kernel will be rooted, su will be installed and also a custom recovery.
In most cases it will be CWM..... ..... Happy Flashing :angel:

Sounds great, but i can't find any signed custom recovery... I'm now downloading the whole internet on my PC so i can perform a grep...
The issue is that i can't use ODIN because my USB connector is broken.

Thats r8
But there could or is the possibility to root phones with an "odin root apk" .But i think one should not do it in this way
cause you could break your device....The download mode with an odin program and an USB connection to your phone
is the only way.
Same problem.
I use fiwe diferent cables .I changed the USB port on phone. NO connection to PC. i dont known what do next. I've tried everything. can't conect sgs3 to odin. no posibility root. please help. thanks.
