Is there a simple method to root galaxy S3?
what does no tripping flash counter mean? why are images required? will that reset phone to stock again?

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 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.

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?

I just "updated" my Galaxy Note by using Odin to install the new leak 4.0.4 and was wondering if somebody could point me in the best direction for rooting my device. Not a "noob" but I'm new to Samsung in general. I don't want to brick my device or possibly mess it up in any way. Also I would like to be able to install further releases of leaked roms and root again. Any advice and information would be helpful. Thank you

You are respectfully asked to read the stickies that answer your dumb question
as far as i know you need to flash clockworkrecovery odin version, after that you can use cwm to flash superuser file that will give you root. read "official" leak thread, it has been covered few times.
Thank you. Figured that would be the response lol I'll do that

Everything begins with ODIN. Flash Leak thru ODIN then flash CWM recovery thru ODIN. Then download the SU 307.zip and flash thru CWM. That is all you need to do to root your phone. You should be able to do everything in less than 15-20mins.

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.

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

Its relatively safe. Just as long as you do research and know 100% what you are doing.
The risk, like almost anything is a brick and bootloop.
Please take some of my advice and avoid stress and hassel. Research and understand how to root then before rooting, research and learn how to recover your device from a bootloop, soft brick etc. Only when confident and you have all necessary info then proceed to root. Once rooted immediately back up your efs folder numerous times in different locations PC laptop dropbox etc. Do this and avoid hassle i didn't and got a bootloop. I panicked thought it was broke put phone in washing machine to hide the fact i had rooted it and claimed on insurance (£50 excess). With proper research could of fixed it myself in 5 mins. Happy flashing .

I know I didn't have to root, but those files don't work for me.

The thread you already opened about the stolen phone was locked. So you open a new one? I'm thinking this guy is asking for a ban.

And I didn't know it was closed because the phone was technically stolen or I wouldn't have opened a new thread

Has vroot been found to be safe to the phone and the computer?
Are thereI any other safer ways to root MJ7?
I know there are other threads with information. But I just want clarification on this.

I wouldn't want to risk it yet.
I used Kingo Root. they have updated their root tool and made (are making) it open source, according to their facebook.
Telling me it works flawlessly tells me nothing.

Has it been proven safe? No.
Has it been proven malicious? No.
Currently there are only 2 ways to root. Kingo and vRoot.
All you can do is read and read some more, then make a decision that's best for you.
There is NO definite answer as to whether there is a 100% safe way to root MJ7.
Link?

Is king safer than vroot to your knowledge or guess.

There are no links Not allowed on XDA . Use Google.
I have no idea which one is safer. I'm not sure if either one is safe. I don't think anyone has a definitive answer yet.

I used vroot and had success and I can say I have seen no suspicious activity at all, yes vroot installs a Chinese superuser app but that's easily replaced with the normal su app, and this exploit seems to get around all Samsung's security not triggering anything except a custom lock when you boot up but even that can be faked using xposed framwork and the wanam app which hides it leaving no sign your phones fully roooted !
I guess once its made open source we will know more. Do you know if it leaves any residual stuff on the device from being rooted from the program. Like vroot leaves its Chinese version of Super User.

Are there even any ROMs out that work for MJ7? Is the superuser app that the program installs, is that all it installs. Seems like it might put something in the background of the phone to make it "keep escaping" knox.

There are no ROMs for MJ7. No custom recovery. No Safestrap. Just root.
All these questions you're asking have ALL been answered several times. Do a little research. There's plenty of info here on XDA.
If you don't feel comfortable using these exploits, then don't use them. Wait a while. You never now what lies ahead.
Nobody here can tell you if it's 100% safe because we just don't know. All I can tell you is that I haven't seen anyone on these boards say anything "bad" has happened with there PC or phone.
I knew 2 days straight without an "MJ7 root or recovery" thread was too good to be true

I used that video guide and software on my s4 4.3 and then used a another tutorial on here to swap and remove the Chinese super user to the standard super user app and I've not had any problems in the last month of doing this. Everything went great and easy with no issues.

I don't trust the Chinese. From past experiences, they will do whatever it takes to profit and take your money illegally. Just because nothing has happened to anyone YET does not mean it will not happen in the future. You don't know what kind of backdoor might be planted and what sort of information they're collecting or will collect from your device.
Please be patient. Unless you're life depends on root access. Hold off until a trusted developer can provide us with something we can all enjoy.

That's obviously a blanket statement. If you see somebody being rude confront them through PM.

Who was being rude? If you look on Page 1 of the Q&A forums you will see that this thread is titled exactly like the other one that is 3 pages long.
The community was fine with all the senior members. You say it's because of the senior members this community is killing the reputation?
I'm going to say no. It's the junior members "Please give me everything on a silver platter" mentality and entitlement issue that's killing the reputation of this site. The site operated perfectly fine before whiny kids started showing up only to post things that have already been discussed HEAVILY and to post because they know how to hit "Reply".
I'd rather have Senior Members post with logic and experience than Junior Members, such as yourself, talking bad about them and cluttering up an already useless thread with off-topic posts that had nothing but negativity behind it.
Hope you understand.
