No, but readme
Read the link that veyka mentioned, quite comprehensive.
CF-Root is what I've used, its not difficult but ofcourse make sure u backup and follow the steps correctly.
There is another method using a program called One Click Root, google it. i tried it worked and rooted and automatically installed superuser, but it was weird when i rebooted my phone it was not rooted!, so i used CF-Root method.
I'm only guessing here sorry.
Update.zip from the stock recovery. Never made one to try if it can be done.
Are you not able to use Odin via your computer for the 1st root flash?
If you can then you can use mobile Odin for flashing without the computer after that. Eg. Download Odin compatible firmware/kernel/modem etc directly to your phone then flash using mobile Odin. No pc involved.
Good luck.

At the moment I can't use a PC, maybe in a week or 2 (if I'm lucky 1). That's why I searched for an app. Nothing worked right now.
I appreciate all of your help!

Can I use an update.zip on a stock ROM?
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA App
Its been a while since ive seen the stock recovery but I believe you can only use an update.zip with stock.
It's got to be created the right way though. Can't just rename a zip to update.zip.

I cant see you signature on the xda app is it the one where you have to download cwm.zip and another. I cant get into cwm with that one. It says go in recovery. But how to get into that without cwm :s
Maybe you could write me a small tut? :$
Kind regards

Here's the link from his signature. Contains all the info you need.
Yes, you need to be in stock recovery to root without a pc. No other way. Why can't you go into stock recovery

[Q] Rooting without computer?

Just bought a SGS3 and want to root it (adaway & other little goodies). No custom rom yet (wanna play with stock). However I'm computer-free (no access to any Pc/mac/linux) for 2-long-days. Any possibility to root sgs3 only with the phone (&internet)?

Download cf root and flash using mobile Odin. I think you can get it free off xda or pay for it from the app store. Follow normal rooting guide except use mobile Odin when it says normal odin. I did it that way.

As far as I know you need to be rooted to be able to use mobile odin. Hence will not work without root.
