Hello, I've just got my galaxy s 3 few days ago, and i want to root it.
But i want to do it right, so i think i should ask before following a guide to be sure it's not outdated.
(i wanted to post link to a guide to ask if it's a good guide but it doesn't work as i'm new here... so i'll ask you which guide is sure and updated?)
Also sorry about my english and grammar mistakes i make.
Thx in adavance.
Standard method is CF Root 6 .4 with CWM recovery .
Or newer
with stock recovery only

Follow the one in cf-auto root (if you want to keep stock recovery) or cf-root 6.4 (if you want custom recovery). Both are in the development forum. In addition YouTube also got videos with instructions.

Root a T-Mobile branded Galaxy SII
Hi guys i've got a question:
Is it possible to root this device? (see screenshot)
And ifso wich guide and files to use?
Member since 2009, 102 posts, yet skipped the stickies and FAQ?
Yes, it's possible, and you've got several choices. Good luck finding them.
I've searched already but did'nt found exactly what to do and i dont want to risk taking the wrong path.

Seriously, you didn't even need to search. Q&A section. Fifth sticky. (SERIOUSLY. Like 3 inches below the "NEW THREAD" button you used to start this thread)

[FAQ] [ROOT] Questions about rooting SGS2 via zergRush Exploit
Well i've read it already and been reading a lot about it but i did not asked it if i knew what to use!
Maybe to you it's easy but i can't seem to find the answer that gives me the certain things to do/use.
Hopefully someone will give me the helpful/right answer (as i did in some posts) because when you take the time to reply it might as well be usefull.

Read post #4 of that thread. It has a WORKING link to the "[04/Jan][ROOTING/UNROOTING] DooMLoRD's Easy Rooting Toolkit [v4.0](zergRush Exploit)
" thread. (I say working because post #1 has NONworking link to the same page. Thread author didn't link it properly)
If you can't understand this and think it's not helpful, I would suggest you not root your phone. No offense.
Thnx i've got it.
I'm not a noob but there is so much info and it's sometimes difficult to read the correct things because of the language.

I think he's fine. He's in the Netherlands, according to his profile, so T-Mobile Europe, not T-Mobile USA... so he SHOULD have an I9100(and does, going by the screen shot of his "About Phone" screen in post #1), not an SGH-T989.
Im fine indeed
Now trying to find out what the Possibility's are now it's rooted.
FE: now it's possible to flash a custom rom?
What are the essential things i have to do now that it's rooted?

You could have flashed a custom ROM withOUT rooting. Indeed, there are several custom ROMs that come already rooted.
EDIT: Sorry, ignore the above sentence. I'm mistaken. You need root. My bad.
Sorry, but in my opinion, you went backwards on this. You rooted for the sake of rooting, then wondered "what can I do now that I have root?", instead of rooting because you needed to do something that required root. But I digress, and I'll get off my soapbox now.
That said, several apps that require root that I like are DroidWall (control what apps can access the internet via 3g and/or wifi), SixAxis Controller (use a ps3 controller on your phone - great for emulators), AdAway (ad blocker), Chainfire 3D (for Tegra only compatible games), Root Explorer (essential for tweaking files in system folders), Startup manager (control what apps are allowed to start when the phone boots), Titanium Backup (backup/restore applications and their data, freeze apps), and SetCPU (undervolt/overclock/change governors/etc).
First of all i rooted for the apps that need rooting like titanium and some other apps.
Second, indeed for flashing because i always thought it was essential. (saw your edit)
Third, i read some things about security issues (dataleaks fe.)and thought i had to root to solve them.
Maybe i'm totally wrong but as i said before there is so much info that its hard to pick the right things out of the topics.
Thanx for your help. Learning more everyday

No prob. And you said in an earlier post "it's sometimes difficult to read the correct things because of the language". Your language? Your English is probably 10x better than half the people who post on this board.

Flashing roms two methods ODIN or CWM and now MOBILE ODIN .
If you want to flash a custom rom you read that roms install instructions no more and no less .
Most but not all custom roms are flashed via CWM
CWM requires root and CWM install .
Root + CWM .

OK getting further and further every minute
Now know that with the actual root i can't flash.
Do i need to unroot this root before Root CWM?
So i read this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1103399 and took Odin.
Now wondering wich CF Root to take.
My kernelversion says: [email protected]#2
Wich kernel i need to take:
this one: CF-Root-SGS2_XW_XEF_KJ2-v4.4-CWM4.zip
or this one: CF-Root-SGS2_XW_XEF_KJ2-v5.0-CWM5.zip
Or am i reading it wrong?
KJ2 might as well take v5 CWM
jje
And what about the unroot part? Do i need to unroot first and then CF-root?

Your first problem is, you can't read or follow simple instructions.
Goto the thread link in my previous post, go to the first page and follow the instructions carefully
You don't need root to do what you are looking for.
Good luck

Hes basically wanting spoon fed.He abandoned his first thread,and a guy kindly offered to help him via pm in his second thread(god knows if he took up the offer).
Looks like he wants step by step instructions on how to use odin also.

Hello guys
I have a S3 i9300 uk locked to three network and it has xxdlj1 build and NEDLI1 base. I need to root it but keep the branded 3 firmware and unlock it.
Iv seen the links around and most of them tell you to install custom rom first and then root with a file.
Can I just root it and not install new firmware ( its on 4.1.1). im new to this stuff and iv read a lot on the forum with a lot of help around.
Thanx for the help appreciate it.

Iv rooted my s3 using cf root 6.4 ( not auto). Its on 4.1.1. now i know that 4.1.2 is out i really like the multi tasking feature and really want to update.
The only thing is that i want to unroot know but im not sure where to start. iv read up on this site to unroot s3 i9300 (galaxys3root) and i want to go back to stock firmware. I want everything gone also the root(supersu, cwm manager also the aptoide and stuff like that. Basically so the warranty is intact again.
the method shown is it good and is it compatible with the way i have rooted? Galaxys3root
since my phone is branded to 3 network in uk can i install unbranded firmware so the 3 start up sign goes away or shall i stick to same firmware.
Appreciate the help the people give on here. Thanx alot
so i decided to root my phone and i got an advice from a friend of mine ( who has a galaxy S2 ) he said this whatever u do just follow a guide posted on xda developers so u dont brick ur phone and get a cyanogenmod rom cuz thats the easiest and best 1 ... i searched here on the forum on how to root the phone with cyanogenmod rom and it got me the nightly version which is a bit unstable as it said ... i like my phone to stay stable tho so i downloaded the 9.1 version but i noticed that all the steps were for the 10.2 version i think .. so are the steps the same this is my first question ?
2nd thing in the steps it said something about recovery which i didnt really get :S clockwork mod recovery i think was the name i dont get what that is ... also there was the flashing thing in the guide it said FLASH gapps and cyanogenmod on ur sd card i dont know how to flash i dont even know what it means :S ... im still a bit of newbie to these rooting stuff but im trying to learn more but i cant find a teacher lol

(1) Read this and the stickies guide in Generel section
(2) There is no "best" rom
(3) You cannot root a phone with cyanogenmod or any other rom respectivly, a rom does not root!
(4) After reading you should be able to answer all your questions by yourself, otherwise do not root or flash anything.

for rooting just follow the guides, yes, I guess the easiest option is cf-autoroot (will keep your stock recovery, also read the instructions in the cf-autoroot thread). Afrer that you can choose yourself what recovery you want. In addition cf-root6.4 is not considered SDS safe as it flashes an older recovery.

But okey, nvm guys I figure it out myself.
even being old the process remains the same... just folow the instructions in this link and you will be rooted
