Newbie Rooting Questions - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello, I've been searching around and haven't found an answer to my rooting question. I want to root my S3 phone, but I don't want to install the CWM recovery. I want to keep my stock recovery manager. I was also wondering, if I root my phone, then I factory restore my phone, will it still have the stock recovery image? Will it unroot my phone?
MY PHONE:
Model: GT-i9300
S/V: 4.1.1

then flash stock recovery back on.
No, factory reset will not remove root and get back on stock recovery if that's wasn't on it originally.

Next time use the search function and stickies in the General forum.
You can use CF-Auto-Root to root the phone, it will not change the recovery compared to CR-Root 6.5

Use mskips method...
I used it for root my mobile....

[Q] Please Help Need Simpler Way to Root Galaxy S2

I was using odin, superoneclick and kies to root my phone. All was working fine untill superoneclick decided not to open and had an error message that said "Unable to find the version of runtime to run this application." I couldn't find a way to fix it after multiple attempts so I decided to try the easier way of rooting the phone. But this requires my firmware which is KDD but I can find the thread for it. Does anyone have the thread for it or help me find it. PLEASE help is greatly appreciated I have been doing this for more then 4 hours im getting really frustrated.

I rooted mine by flashing the lightning rom through Odin. The rom is already rooted. Even if you don't want to use it at least you are rooted and can flash other stuff now

Learn how to use Odin
get ROM from checkfus downloader or sammobile.com
Pick lp7 ROM skip lp9.
You can flash any ROM if you got i9100, say UK lp7.
Flash using Odin.

Thanks for reply,
I know how to use odin but the problem is lot of fermware and other information like baseband here is where I get confused.
So i dont know which fermware I should use provide I stay in Tanzania.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA
Doesn't matter were you are...
Get a whole package and flash.
Lp7 UK ics
Dxlp9 Singapore ics
Both stock roms work fine. Personally I say go for lp7 UK.
After that learn how to use cfroot kernel to get root access.

Root, triangleaway, then return for warranty!

Hey guys well at the moment I am running stock ICS 4.0.3, 19100T, IML74K.DULP9 as build number. But I am having troubles with the phone and I need to return for warranty, so I need to re root my device and use Triangle Away before going back to stock vodafone for my warranty and I'm just wondering what the best way is to do this all, like step by step guide would be useful! Thanks in advance
The easiest way would be to flash Siyah kernel with Odin.
http://www.gokhanmoral.com/gm/2012/07/29/siyahkernel-s2-v3-5/
After that, get rid of the triangle and reset the flash counter with that app.
Then download stock firmware and flash with Odin.
Thats it.

Also before unrooting remember to delete all traces of applications requiring root to work. I suggest to search the forum as I think I saw a guide regarding this.

Like I just said DO NOT use this method. Chainfire no longer supports it but worse than that, cwm it comes with does not prevent SDS. Do NOT use this method.

Thanks, i flashed the new cwm that should have SDS fix
So i guess it should be fine to use the cf root and then just update the recovery, right? i mean there's not a big chance of sds on first recovery use

That's exactly the same as using cf auto root. So why not just use that?
Or just flash recovery if you don't need root. You don't need root if you're flashing a custom rom.

I guess the best thing is to check the main features of latest stable roms (based on stock firmware if you want all samsung features) and then try the ones you like the most..
I wanted to try android 4.3 and eliminate all the samsung (mostly useless for me) stuff, so i checked some threads in the forum and now i'm trying the supernexus 3 rom, it's pretty good, with not many customizations, but very lightweight..
