This is not really S3 related, I know, but it concerns the S3 in a way. Right, so I'm planning on moving to Linux again and leaving W7 since I never play any Windows games anyway on my laptop (I have my PS3 for that) so how will I go about flashing .tar files to my S3 when the need arises? I know ODIN doesn't work on Linux.

I can't answer the Linux question BUT you could always use Mobile Odin from the Play Store and do this directly on your phone. I've used it quite a lot when I haven't had access to a PC.
Regards
Oh yeah, I forgot all about Mobile Odin
you can't use ODIN on linux, use heimdall instead.

Run the Odin file through the kitchen and you get a deodexed rom with root that you can flash in CWM
Have not tested but may be use wine to run Odin on *nix .. not sure it works or not .

I think you will struggle with the drivers, I haven't looked for them but I haven't seen them for download either.

Heimdall doesn't work on GS3, so you're pretty much stuck with mobile odin (which is basically a good thing ).
Edit: Apparently it works just fine!

Pretty sure it worked on Mac OS for me, Mountain Lion I think. Isn't the mac version quite similar to the Linux version?

Heimdall works just fine, here although no suite for 1.3.2 on Linux x64 no biggie though I use cli for flashing recoveries and mobile ODIN for bigger tasks

Coolbeans, I couldn't get it to work a couple of months back on my Arch - most probably a user error.

Is it save to flash with Odin, using a x64 Windows 7 version. Im asking this cause x64 is know to give some issues in the past.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA App
Never had an x64 issue on about fifty flashes .As long as you get the drivers installed should work .

^ Yep, On x64 for almost two years, no problem at all.
Thx all, gonna try soon.
Still a bit worried.
Havn't owned any Samsung devices yet.
So not experienced with the way of flashing rooting etc.
For custom roms, You only need odin once. After that it's cwm all the way

Mac is such an expensive OS, I would say parallels but that's not free.
Although doesn't Mac have a built in feature to install another virtual OS on it?

Virtualbox wants boot-file(eg: .iso) and I don't have it.
Sent from my GT-P1000 using Tapatalk
You need an ISO or....... you can attach to an optical drive and install from cd/dvd. It's in the config for the vm. You can also change this in the running vm.

Use the galaxy s3 toolkit best way for root I think just read it carefully and use the right variant model and update eg 4.1.2 and not earlier very simple

I found the easiest was was to use cf auto root through Odin on windows laptop and then install a recovery using ROM manager from the play store.. And then away ya go! Don't forget to back up before ya change anything

Rom manager is not such a good idea with the S3. Safer to use mobile odin and Flash a recovery that way.

I didn't realise it wasn't a good idea to use ROM manager with the s3.. Why is that then? I went that way because my laptop is a Macbook and hiemdall didn't seem to work well so I had a quick ten mins on a laptop at work with Odin to root and then I only had my Macbook to use so ROM manager is the way I went too manager seems to be the same thing as well

From experience I can say that using ROM Manager can soft brick your device. I once wanted to use it with my old S2 to install CWM and I got into a bootloop afterwards. Only re-flashing a Samsung ROM via Odin helped to boot into Android.
One of the easiest way (in my opinion) to root your device is to flash a Kernel via Odin that will give you Root. The Siyah Kernel is a good place to start, since the developer also provides tar files for odin to flash. It will give you Root and from then on you can install Stweaks and flash CWM from there.
I wish i d of spoke to u a few months ago when I first rooted cause I buggered about with it for weeks! I didn't realise you could install recovery from steaks either.. Have you got much apple Mac/android sync experience?.. I can only describe it as trying to get arch rivals to mate!.. Might just dual boot windows on the Macbook if I can't get them to play nice

Just use Towelroot. It's an app that you install and doesn't require a PC, Mac, or anything else.

Visit the website with your phone and tap the lambda in the middle of the screen out well download an apk.
Install the app then run it and tap "make it rain"
After your phone reboots you should have root.
You might need to go to the play store and install supersu but I can't remember if it installs it automatically or not.

Oh ok sorry. The only way to do it in a mac is heimdall or jodin.
You might could do it running Windows via parallels but I have been told that is very risky to use Odin over a virtual machine.
I would find a friend or relative with a Windows machine or just use the only two options for Mac.

I tried to use Heimdall but it won't open the tar.md5 file. I'm downloading Java 8 so maybe Jodin will work now. Surprisingly, all my friends just use their smart phones as a computer. I'm the only tech nerd out of the bunch
Thanks again
