Use mskip's (galaxy s3 toolkit 3.0) to reroot.dl.the toolkit to your pc and follow instructions.
Find it in android development
Did u flash supersu.zip after flashing recovery? It is mentioned in cfroot op

I tried CF-Root-SGS3-v6.4 too ,it worked
if it doesn't install, reflash with auto reboot unticked, after the flash boot into recovery and this should trigger the installation.....as stated in chainfires thread

Hi all,
I use to own a htc sensation and now well purchased my new shiny S3. Read a couple of threads and do not want to risk bricking this as it only arrived this morning.
So the spec of my model is the following :
Model : GT19300
Android : 4.1.1
Base:19300xxdlid
kernel 3.0.31
build jroo3c
Just to confirm, some tut's said install kies on pc before rooting and connect the device at least once before running the root, others state please remove all samsung software from the pc. Which is correct ?
I also have seen this message : IMPORTANT: DO NOT USE THIS TOOLKIT TO ROOT OR FLASH CUSTOM RECOVERY ON A SNAPDRAGON MODEL SGS3 AS THE INCLUDED IMAGES WILL NOT WORK ON IT
How can i tell which mine is ?
So would you people recommend the toolkit way or the other way, as i have been looking at the following thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1703488
I'm not a complete newb as i had the sensation for 2 years and had that rooted so just some guidance please as this is a new device cheers

I personally used Chainfire's Odin method, which worked flawlessly. No need for Kies, just download Odin and use the .tar file he provides.
If your model number is GT-i9300, you will have the Exynos version of the phone, so you can ignore the warning about Snapdragon processors; that only applies to the LTE US version.
Read the following thread - it tells you everything you need to know.

If i so happen to have installed cf-autoroot instead of cf-root.6.4,
is it safe for me to just do the same procedure for cf-root6.4? like overwriting?

cheers mate, whats the difference then between the CF Root v Toolkit ? I.e any advantages/disadvantages...
Cf is just straight forward and works, it's easy to do.

Thanks buddy Root access has been granted. Is this triangle away compulsory or can i just leave it?
How would i go about flashing a custom Rom now? Stick the custom rom zip on sd card and just boot into cwm and boot from zip ?
p.s don't suppose you have a tut on returning to factory default and un rooting just incase i ever need to send it back

Yes most custom roms installed that way .
Critical is to back up your EFS folder .

have a slight problem, I noticed i had the stock cwm and wanted the touch version. I downloaded the recovery and renamed it recovery.img and then went and installed odin mobile pro after selecting recovery and internal or external it will not find the file recovery.img ? I then thought i would try to download the .tar.md5 file for CWM TOUCH RECOVERY 6.0.1.2, however upon opening odin on my pc and then trying to boot my device into download mode, it just shows the Samsung logo and refreshes. I have managed to boot the device back on since then.
Update I have tried and read about 20 odd posts and everywhere tell me to get the device into download mode, the device wouldn't,However after several attempts I managed to get odin to pick the img file and flash. Upon booting back up i am now stuck with a Samsung boot logo and feel its bricked? Please Help!!!
I can not even return the device under warranty as i was unable to run triangle away ;(
Hi All
I had rooted my phone a few days back using odin and cf-root. Today I got new updates from Kies. (android version is still 4.04) . Now the root was gone, so i tried to root again. But it started to fail all the time. I donwloaded latest ODIN V3.07 and CF-Root V6.4 and tried that. Now Odin says PASS but there is no su or cwmod and root checker says no root.
Is there anything obvious I am doing wrong?
Thanks so much for your help!

go back to your nandroid/cwm backup restore and see if its fixed, also if Kies worked you must be running stock firmware as updates not available to modified phones
dont tick auto reboot and after ODIN has done its thing, boot into recovery manually.
thanks all.
i finally rooted it using the s3 toolkit, with the recovery method. it said it worked on all devices and it certainly worked with mine
Hello friends, I am newbie to rooting...
I am from India .. I have SGS2. Recently I upgraded official firmware from GB to ICS 4.0.3 through kies. I want to root it.
I saw the tutorials given in this forum. I seems to be really easy. I followed all, but cant get rooted.
Kernal Version: 3.0.15-I9100XWLP7-CL340913 [email protected]#3
I downloaded Odin3-v1.83 and CF-Root-SGS2_XW_XEN_LP7-v5.4-CWM5.tar and followed the steps.
After rebooting, I got two icons CWM and superuser.. If I open superuser, it says "No apps in list"
I installed Root checker it also says "Sorry! THis device does not have proper root access"
I don't understand where I went wrong?.. Do I need to do something else to get properly rooted?.
I have NOVA3 game installed and I reached to the end of "Hell Gate" I want to take game backup through Titanium backup..
Please help me..
Thanks
~prashanth
you could try downloading siyah kernal 4.1.5 from gokhanmoral and flash that either in cwm or via odin, i reccommend this also before flash delete supersu and reinstall when you flash kernal also reccommend a odin upgrade i like v1.85 it has a easy ui.
siyah kernals are prerooted too and also come with updated recovery boot also you wont get yellow triangle causing a binary count.
before i forget then reinstall supersu open it to update binary script n all should be hunkydory.
also to backup data download rootexplorer and find out where the gamesave data is usually android/data i think and manually copy if you need to. but i doubt it.
and happy flashing custom roms.
Flash root super su.zip via cwm and u will be rooted bro

Thanks Paulius and linuxnubee for your suggestion.
I got one more doubt now.. If I hard reset after rooting, can I get original firmware back? and do I need to root again?.
You mean go back to GingerBread?
You will have to download a stock GingerBread ROM and flash it. And no, once you flash it you will not be rooted, as stock as it gets.
A hard reset will erase all data in your device.
Thanks for reply..
Not to Gingerbread, Back to ICS 4.0.3 stock firmware.. Since I rooted stock firmware, if I just hard reset now, can I get stock firmware (without yellow triangle) ? or do I need to download stock firmware and flash again so that I can use kies for upgrading firmware in future?.

I have a galxaxy s3 i9300
Not rooted, but I want to.
Ver 4.1.2
Baseband i9300bwelk1. Kies says this is the up to date version.
I want to root my device, I followed one guide i found on google and bricked my device. Managed to recover using kies emergency firmware tool.
All of the guides i have found are to root I9300XXELLA. Do I need to flash to this, or can I just use the autoroot i found here...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1957273
All I even want to root for really is so i can use NFC from the lock screen!
Thanks for your time. Hope I gave enouh information.
Yeah mate.
In post #3 download the auto root for i9300 and unzip to get the tar. file and flash it in Odin.Then for a good custom recovery download and flash Philz touch recovery so you have a good recovery to flash other zips.

Hi
I reccently bought i9300 ( hongkong ) and it came with 4.3, i tried rooting it with CF-Root, The process itself completes with no problem but when i open SuperSu, It asks to update binaries but when i do it fails.
All of the fellow xda helpers have suggested to install CWM and than flash Update SuperSU ***.zip from chainfire, I did that as well ( i flashed the latest zip) But the problem is there.
Can anybody help me with that?
The CF-ROOT and flashable supersu i have flashed are:
UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.91
UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.86
UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.10
CF-Auto-Root-m0-m0xx-gti9300
CF-Root-SGS3-v6.4
Now as i am not rooted so i can't backup the EFS (i don't want to take the risk of loosing my IMEI) and flash stock 4.1.2.
-----------------------------
Here are the details of my phone:
Model no: i9300
Android version: 4.3
Baseband: I9300XXUGNA8
Kernel: 3.0.31-i902166 [email protected]#1
Build no: JSS15J.I9300ZSUBNB1

i already did a backup through cwm, Is it good enough ? as i have read in the forum that if you dont have efs backup and you flash stock through odin, you may end up with lost imei; That's the boat i don't wana be on ... so i await your response on that.
Also can you guide me or give me a link to PIT and Repartition stuff, as i am new to samsung, i moved from htc.
After flashing stock, philz, do i need to flash cf-root through odin or update-supersu will do the rooting trick?
Thanks for your response

You should only use pit files as a last resort! Use only if your phone is not booting or major problems like that and definitely not because you can't root!
If you flash latest PhilZ there is a option in the settings to fix supersu try that way first or try a different version of su from playstore.

using odin i have installed latest PhilZ recovery, although the superSu is having the similar problem but i was able to find " backup efs" underr custom backup, i think internally my phone is already rooted, as custom recovery went on smooth. Will that efs recovery be enough to bring my phone IMEI back? Can you suggest what else should i backup ?

If done properly then yes also I would also suggest making another backup with PhilZ recovery there is a option in settings to do that ( you can never have too many backups) also if you want you can do a full nandroid backup which will restore your phone to how it was before you flashed anything.(but remember nandroid won't backup efs you have to do that separately)
For any fellow xdaz who are seeking help in the same case as mine, Let me update on what i did and what went wrong (although i am still not upto the rooting part)
so as i was on 4.3 ( I9300XXUGNA8)- The rom won't let me root, whatever i did, and i am talking about clearing cache, dalvik, cf-root, superSU update, clearing all superSU app and reinstalling via market and odin.
Than i thought i would ditch the rom and maybe downgrade ( for me that was the wrong idea )
along the way ( as suggested by " tallman43 " i did install PHILZ and did custom backup of efs and i made around 4-5 backups, Big thanks for the awesome suggestion ....i suggest you do the same, as trust me i later found out that 1-2 backups have corrupted files ( i don't know why).
i also downloaded neat rom and in that Aroma installer (rom installer) there was an option for efs backup as well, so i did that and installed that rom. Rom installed without any problem, root was also working fine, i personally love the rom but i have to give my phone to someone and i was hoping for total stock whereas in neat rom there are tags here and there, i would love to have em but as i said earlier...
i downloaded Stock 4.1.2 (I9300OZSEMK2) -- flashed it, flashed went fine but now i got 0000 as my imei, i tried restoring through philz but nothing happened
i restored previously made backup of my old 4.3 but now the imei was displaying " NULL "
finally i stopped there and searched the forums and read through many similar problems, i downloaded 4.3 (I9300XXUGNA8) from sam mobile , flashed it and voila the imei and network is back.
I am not sure what fixed the imei and why was it giving problems on 4.1.2 but i am happy with the results.
I will update for the rooting part and that would be my next step.

I came across this thread as I am facing the same problem with rooting.
I was on a rooted i9300 and did an upgrade to 4.3 via Kies.
Now when I run through the rooting process using CF method, Odin posted success.
I see inside the console (while flashing cf auto root) that SU binaries are being installed and all. But once the phone reboots, root checker reports phone is not rooted.
I tried a couple of other ways and the closest I got was to see TWRP recovery console once, but once the phone reboots, and I try to go back into recovery - it is still Samsung's recovery console.
Actually all I want is to flash a custom ROM because the phone has been running ridiculously slow. Can I flash it through Odin (under AP) or I have to use a custom recovery like clockwork or TWRP.

If you want only to flash a custom rom then you do not need to root custom roms come already rooted (alot of people make this mistake )..Just flash a custom recovery with Odin then follow the procedure in the stickies to flash a custom rom.
