Hi all, could anyone offer a solution to a slight problem i have? Basically i got the charging problem after flashing latest stock ics. I read that if i put a diff rom on it would fix the prob bit i lost root. So i get into download mode boot odin up and connect but the pc says something about usb failed cant connect etc etc so i cant root or rom yet when i connect the phone when not in download mode it gets recognised straight away i can transfer files view sd card etc etc. Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated thanks.

You're in a wrong forum. Go to Galaxy S3 forum.

If you want to root the phone and get CWM, you can flash Siyah or any other custom kernel with temporary CWM.
If you only want root you can get it with that app by Chainfire that uses Exynos exploit.

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.
Dev section. Chainfires CWM and Root thre.

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

+1 did the same. with CWM after u can go anywhere..
New to XDA. Just wondered if.. like the s2 I can root my s3 without pc...
I think I done it by installing a new recovery, and flashing CWM, Busybox etc
With no yellow triangle. Is this method possible on the s3? Or is it possible atall?
Many thanks

Afaik not possible yet, just flash a CF-Root kernel you need with Odin (SU, busybox and CWM), download Triangle Away 1.51 and reset the binary flash counter. This is the easiest way.
How did you root s2 without a pc?

See http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1501719
I think this is a great rooting method since it doesn't involve flash kernels making it a very safe method and you don't have to worry about Triangle Away etc
I did try doing exactly the same as this on my S3 but using the s3 version of CWM http://download.clockworkmod.com/recoveries/recovery-clockwork-5.8.4.4-i9300.zip but it fails to load the zip with a signature verification error which is a shame.
Does anyone know why this works on the s2 but not the s3. The s2 doesn't seem to have an issue with signature verification.
Probably because Samsung read through this site too... Can't make it too easy now, can they....
By the way, S3 doesn't have a yellow triangle anymore.
Just the binary counter is increated but it can easily be reset with TriangleAway.
Any clever person been working on this or know of a way?

I brought this subject up a while back when first came from Note and S2, we just need someone to leak a signed CWM like we got for other phones then we're good.
Hasn't happened yet though so who knows if it ever will.

It is a good method. Rooted stock is what I wanted anyway..

Any change on this? My computer is kaput and I want to root
I have tried to root my S2 before with success, but recently I try to root but an issue arises. After I click start on my Odin3 v1.83 using CF-Root-SGS2_XX_OXX_LPB-v5.2-CWM5, it didnt have any error, but when my S2 try to reboot, it will sort of switch off by itself, it seem like it cant load. In the end I have to download this GT-I9100_SIN_I9100DXLP9_I9100OLBLP9_I9100DXLP9 to make my S2 work again.
Please advice, I have no idea what wrong, even after I have checked USB debugging
Try to download a specific CF-Root kernel for your current firmware which is DXLP9.

Cf-root lp9 is for you. You flashed the wrong kernel.

It is quite impossible to root without the phone, lower models can be done from the recovery but s2 will get bricked.
Using GT - I9100
I thank those who give helpful comments

I downloaded temp cwm, flash it - without exit from cwn recovery flash wanam 12.8. Will it work?

May I know why you are not able to use Odin?
That is a very simple way to root.
It depends on your current firmware/kernel. I was able to flash and never used Odin I've rooted the phone using exynos abuse as I had really vulnerable kernel, then I installed Recovery by rom manager and flashed stuff from the open recovery. But make sure that exynos abuse works for your firmware before using it and make sure you know what you are doing and don't touch anything else then root option in this program
I install samsung kies. But still when i connect my S3 to my PC nothing happen. Sorry for my bad english

The date of purchase means nothing. I know that you have stock firmware, but there are many stock firmware versions (even if all are 4.1.2) and they have different vulnerabilities. I was at XXELL4 kernel at stock, which is old and vulnerable, but you may be on one of the newest kernel which can't be abused without ODIN. Please take more time to read guides and get more familiar with the phone, as your next post might start by "I've bricked my phone, please help" You will survive few days at stock rom and it seems that you don't know the basics

KIES & Odin do not play well together, hence you should deinstall KIES in case you want to use Odin, will save you a lot of time solving connection issues.
Otherwise as mentioned.

Do not use Kies!
All you need to do is install the drivers of your phone and once that is
done and Kies is opened infront of you open, go to
Task Manager > Processes > Remove All Kies Related Applications
and then use Odin to root your phone.
1. Provide us with kernel version.
2. Are you on ICS/JB?
3. Are you on OS X? If you are use Heimdall; Mac alternative to Odin. Otherwise there is no reason why you should use anything other than Odin/Heimdall, just flash CF Root.
what do you need root for? if you don't know the difference between Kies and Odin, don't root it, you'll brick it
