It is quite simple. Follow one of the many already existing threads.
Easiest way is to download cfroot and Odin. Load the file into the pda and hit start. Very simple

Go to original android developement / click on Cf-Root by chainfire / Download the latest CF-Root which is v 6.4
Download and install ODIN for pc / Run it and click on PDA / select the CF-Root file and click open
Make sure re-partition box IS NOT TICKED / Start flashing / it'll take about 3 seconds and then it will reboot automaticly.
i told the easiet way to root .Hope this helps

Pretty sure you already need root to use mobile odin.

There is no way. For the first time you have to use a computer.
mobile odin requires root.No other way?

just over pc or mac! no other way trust me
Yep. Initial root requires a computer.
If you really need to root right now, download Odin and CF-Root on your phone and ask someone to borrow their computer or use a public computer. Move the files to the computer and root it in less than one minute and you're done!
i have a few questions maybe you guys can help... so here we go:
when you root with odin, it unlocks the phone giving you su right. does this also change your rom?
how is the launcher different than the rom? difference between flashing rom and kernal?
last one... when you install a custom rom, can you delete it if there are bugs to reinstall a different one or use the stock?

Problems/doubts related to rooting the phone

I was going through threads on rooting, ROMs, kernels and bricking. Before reading threads about bricking I wanted to root my phone but after reading I got scared of bricking my phone which I think is difficult to debrick (unbrick).
Is it really the case that we cannot debrick the phone at home? Is it ok to root with such a consequence?
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda app-developers app
All I can say is if you're that worried about it, don't root your phone or flash anything. Leave it on stock & enjoy it.
Is it possible to change ROM without rooting the phone?
And what are the chances of bricking the phone while rooting? And if bricked what is procedure to make it as earlier

use this to root your S2...It is 100% risk free. However use only if u are on ICS
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1501719
Also, read everything before u flash a rom/kernel..95% of them get bricked without reading or consulting properly

I read it, but I didn't not find anything written as it won't brick the phone. So just wanted to confirm even if I made any mistake, it won't brick my phone, right?

Someone help me with my new galaxy SIII

First off my English isn't perfect so its hard for me to understand how some things work.
I have a galaxy SIII I9300 4.1.1.
Can you upgrade a galaxy S3 4.1.1 to 4.2.1?
I want CM 10.1 on my galaxy S3 but i need version 4.1.1.
I once tried putting CM 10.0.0 on it but it wouldn't work, So i searched it up on google and it said i need a dutch version of Cm10.0.0 or something( My phone is dutch)( I am dutch )
If someone can help me i would realllllllyyy appreciate it. i have been youtubing and googling for a long time but cant find anything that really helps me.
So if you're that one nice guy that like to help me! Leave a post with your skype and we will talk!
Since you have an I9300, you need to be in that section. This is for the Tmobile US version T999. I will move your thread and hopefully someone in your section will be able to help you.
Good luck.

Owh okay! Thanks!
From what I heard, International version of galaxy s3 is unable to get cm10 because Samsung hasn't release the hardware or software codes yet? I may be wrong or even way off but something along those lines

ehhhh i think so? :laugh:
If you want to install cgm 10.1 on your S3 you can download the zip file of the latest version of the Rom and if you have already rooted your S3 you have to install that zip using the recovery.
If you haven't rooted your s3 you have first of all to root it.
Where did you read that you need a particular version of the original rom to install cgm?

Have you used triangle away to reset the counter? it's important for the warranty!
So here you can find information about version 10.0 of cgm for i9300. Read the last posts to download the last release of the cm10 rom.

1) Make sure USB Debugging is 'ON'
2) Disable your PC's antivirus and uninstall if you have it installed on your phone.
3) Make sure that the mobile drivers are installed on your PC, check for that in the device manager.
4) Make sure you know what you are flashing and that Kernel/Firmware is developed for your model. You cannot flash SIII kernels on SII as that would brick your device!
5) That's pretty much it!
Good Luck!

Kies is like Odin's bigger brother, so it can interfere with Odin while flashing. U MUST EXIT Kies using ur Task manager before starting Odin.
