I want to root my device but I'm wondering what some down sides may be. Also what would be the best way to root? Mashi or what? And I'm looking to increase performance and add additional features like nfc and scrolling wallpaper to name a couple. Thanks for any help!

no down side to rooting, benefits are more access to different areas of the system, and able to modify parts not accessible before rooting. Now the best way will depend on what you want, if you care about the flash counter then go to my thread in the dev section, if you don't care about the flash counter or warranty then I definitely recommend Da_G's overclocking kernel that also roots the device.
Wifi tethering, removing bloatware, blocking adds from free apps, are a couple and flashing custom roms/kernels which enhance performance. You also run the risk of bricking your device... Rooting also voids your warranty. So think carefully before jumping into it.

Samsung added a flash counter that when you flash any custom rom /kernel/recovery will keep track of how may times you have flashed firmware supposedly to decide who deny warranty to. You can revert back to stock but not the counter.

Double post sorry
As Android is based on a linux kernel, rooting your device is allowing yourself access to the very lowest level of system files. Doing so allows you to make alterations that are to your benefit, but of course this is also a vulnerability. These same system files control the well being of your device, and thus malicious applications are capable of corrupting it's files.
Nothing once we get ICS the counter can be reset to 0.

Amazon Video might be detecting root and not allowing me to log in. Not sure if thats it or not though.
I rooted using da g method and the only downsides i have seen so far are fc's on the xda app, random reboots, and the flash counter issue. However, since the cwm zip came out, all of the above issues except for the flash counter have been corrected.

I think I would like to root using da g method but I am a huge noob and would like to know how to do so with steps very easy to follow on what to do first. Can someone give me a thread or possibly there own info on how to do so? I really need simple directions (or as simple as possible) because I don't want to mess my device up.

The directions in DaG's thread are super simple. Just take it slow and read it good and it should be pain free.
Another app that doesn't work when rooted is the UltraViolet application for watching movies that offer the UltraViolet digital copies. I think there is mention that Amazon Prime Video streaming also doesn't work due to root.

It's root only. The benefits of rooting are far more advantageous though. I just deal with the issue above! I can use something like DVDFab and make my own movie files that play fine.
should I root my international versuon of SGS3 ? I also dont want to void the warranty.If I root would my phone MAYBE SOMEHOW damaged or not working anymore? what do you suggest me im using it 2-3 weeks now.

I have rooted my phone:
1. You can block adds in apps with AdAway
2. You can make nandroid backups in cwm and backup apps + data with Titanium backup
3. You can increase volume with Volume+
4. You can wipe or freeze apps and widgets that you do not use.
5. Yoy can flash mods and themes for odexed roms
6. You can flash custom rom`s or kernels.
I you want to unroot use Triangle Away to reset the flashcounter , flash a stock rom and do a data/factory reset and your back to stock
And 7. You can use the Six axis app to wirelessly connect your PS3 control and therefore utilizing the usb out to connect via hdmi to play games on your big screen
Here's link for cf root,, it takes about 2 minutes if you are familiar with Odin,

There are many pages over the internet listing the pros/cons, so I wont relist them here.. The only thing I find most have missed out are the apps that are root protected.. If you use any that are it can become a pain, if not you don't really have much to lose...
if u use triangle away and restore your stock rom,.. your warranty is intact,...
damaging your phone depends on how you follow the given tutorials,...
also if I root and restoring to the factory settings warranty would be again available?

OP
Google rooting and weigh the benefits. Decide for yourself if its something you want to do. Lots of average users will never need root. If you find yourself NOT being able to do tasks you want, then root.. if you don't have a need to or are questioning if you should, then don't.

You can always ask help to somebody, and you can follow all the detailed instructions and videos tutorial at galaxys3root.com (i think it's the best), they have also links to this forum for better instructions.
I made it few days ago, rooting and unrooting it's very easy, always make backup of the original ROM installed.
Pay attention also at what country phone you will be rooting.

I'm more of a little girl that doesn't want to void my warranty and afraid of bricking since I'm a klutz at modifying. Unless you want to potentially unlock your phone's capabilities then feel free to do so however if you aren't a North American user than your phone would most likely be void of warranty because I've read an article here somewhere made by xda that rooting doesn't void your warranty (North American users only) and I'm a south east asian user lol. For experts they feel free to do so since it's their expertise but average people like me money is hard to come by and I don't want to risk bricking it lol.
You can't really brick it rooting. Its flashing firmwares and ROMs/Kernels that can potentially brick you.. but nowadays it doesn't happen all too often. And there are methods to safeguard this. JTAG is available too for the S3.
But patriotaki .. you can find info in the Q&A and general sub forums, and for all the tools in the dev section come with instructions. Here's chainfires root method. Just follow the steps and you'll be fine! http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1695238

I'm rooted ut here is my take on it.
The only 2 reasons I rooted was because I wanted control over my CPU settings/create screen off profiles and to change the android green off my notification bar.
Other than that, the phone was sweet **** sweet before rooting. you can already uninstall/freeze apps without being rooted and the battery life was VERY good before as well. I have flashed 4 Roms and non of them perfromed as well as the stock kernel IMO. I flashed back to BEAN R2 because it has the stock kernel and gave me the best battery life. no theme, running my setcpu, nova, all notifcations and toggles turned off that dont need to be on and I get about 17 hours with 30%+ when I plug back in when I go to bed.
There are a lot of things you can do when you root, but this phone is very good without. I have had other phones in the past that just weren't up to par unless they were rooted and I dont find that to be the case here.

yup plenty of people are using it.. definitely seems to smooth things out.
So can this be used on ICS? I see where it's mentioned but doesn't specifically say. It looks interesting
Any word on the effect on battery life?
Sent from my ADR6425LVW using xda premium
I have it bundled in CounterShrike 3.0, and available as a download for PAC-Man. In both cases, it's the background service only and not the app, but the effect is the same. I'm quite skeptical of performance tweaks, but so far, this one seems legit. It does not help general performance. It does help anything that uses entropy...app lauching, task switching (including return to home), many list based loads (Facebook newsfeed as one example), and so on.
The add on version I have is generic enough to run on any ROM and device as long as the kernel supports init.d. http://androidfilehost.com/?fid=9390233485161005378
Edit: I've seen zero battery impact. If anything, it may be a bit better, but that's totally subjective.
I'll give this a shot
I've been running the flashable script version for a few days. It does appear to make a difference though I haven't done any hard testing.

Seems to make a slight difference only noticeable sometimes on inef dues. Antutu scores are the same. I think what I notice most is it being a little snappier between app switching. Hopefully it doesn't affect my battery life
I bought the app from the Play Store, but it deactivates itself every time the screen is turned off. Also, it's never prompted me for root access, so I'm quite skeptical that it's doing anything on my phone.

Is it Seeder by LCIS for 1.49? I may try and see. But I already flashed that zip shrike posted so I'd have to restore my nandroid and then try it
So, what about the article on the portal about these claims of improvement being false? Does anyone have any real proof either way about this or is it just a placebo? When really amazing devs not only say it works but also include it in their ROMs, it makes you think there's a little more to it. Just curious.
Quite a few reputable devs out there saying this does nothing at all that's it's all placebo.
Idk if it's this or something else I flashed but my phone will not go over like 550mb of ram. So every app I open has to reload kind of

K if I remember when I restore my nandroid i'll try it and see. I can see a difference but on faster/newer phones or AOSP Roms you more than likely won't see any. But after flashing that it's definitely different. Not sure if it's for the better or not since I can only tell with switching apps.
Edit: I feel like any tweaked rom is going to do the same. I just bought that app and it made literally no difference. Maybe the difference I was seeing was from the animations I flashed. Lol interesting. I also notice my ram is being used better without the tweaks.. What do the tweaks actually do?
I didn't notice much of a difference so I uninstalled it. And whatever you do, don't pay for it in the Play Store. Go to the thread in the OP and get it for free.

Hi All,
There are modifications for the thermald.conf, which controls your CPU and GPU after a certain temperature.
I've modified the file to fit different profiles that'll work for people. So without further ado, here are the profiles.
Remember to backup before flashing, and not responsible for bricks and blah and blah. However, if something goes wrong, you're more the welcome to message me for help.
Stock
This is the stock file with no change.
Stock Therma
Optimized Stock
This is a slightly optimized stock that deals with the overheating and throttles the CPU and GPU properly.
Optimized Stock
Gaming
This prioritizes the GPU for gaming over any other feature
Gaming Therma
Gaming (Plus Battery Saver)
This prioritizes gaming; however, also throttles your CPU to help save battery.
Gaming Therma + Battery Saver
Better CPU
This is probably the best battery saver; however, it drastically throttles the GPU.
Better CPU
Full Power
Ignores any throttling rules, but battery drain will happen. And phone will overheat quicker. However, you'll experience the fastest speeds.
Full Power
Best Battery and Overheating
This sacrifices performance to optimize battery and subdue the heating issues.
Best Battery
will wait for braver souls then myself before trying. But awesome work man! Does this work on both ICS and JB?
Cant even try this "Server Offline. Please hang tight while we get this resolved." Once its fixed I'll try some of them out

not even close, all it does it either slows/lowers down or doesnt do anything to CPU/GPU or screen brightness depending on the temperature of CPU/GPU. Basically its system underclock depending on temperature.
This shouldn't really be under Dev... It is something that has been known about for quite a while and even has a tutorial posted under the App section for a while now. It was never released like this because it can very well allow the phone to fry itself.

I think there's a slight misconception on folder structure. I could have named it whatever, but the updater script pushes it to the correct folder.
I have tested, and it works wonderfully. However, the risks are always present if you choose to set the temp tires higher or remove the throttling.

It's the KDZ you have. ICS is no where near as smooth as JB. The reason being that JB has Project Butter, and the ICS ROM for our phone was poorly designed/handled/released.
If you flash up to JB again, you'll have that buttery goodness once again ^-^

Flashing with R&D tool comes with risk. You can get a security error, won't operate, or crash while flashing. Having & using cwm is the safety route IMO.
Plus using the offline flash probably won't fix the inverted u-boot (LG logo).

I would still recommend the LG tools for anybody that is desperate about fixing their phone. It helped me out a great deal. Actually offline flash helped my LG logo and mirrored screen. After that all I had to do was flash the touch fix.

Im sorry, I was at work.. didn't really have much time to explain how I got it fixed or who helped.. but yes, thanks Kuma for the help. I appreciate it.
But there wasn't really anything wrong with the phone.. I tried to unlock the bootloader.. flashed the kdz, did all the shenanigans, but couldn't get it to unlock, and I was stuck with the wonky touch screen on the kdz i was using. So all I really could do is flash radio.zip and touch fix, and then do a restore of a backup I found on this forum using cwm, which Kuma helped me do.
Now im on v10g ICS, and the battery life so far is amazing.. I just am having a really hard time not letting this touch screen stuff bother me. Sometimes its so unresponsive.. I wouldn't mind going back to JB, but I wanna keep this battery life. Im just having a hard time believing there's this much of a difference between ICS and JB.. my phone normally would only last 12 hours, then i'd have to charge it again.. Now, its been off the charger for almost 12 hours and its not even at 60% .. so do you guys really think if I went back to JB, and uninstalled the same bloatware I uninstalled now, the battery would be significantly worse?

Try it out. If you're not happy with it go back to ics. You will never know unless you try it for yourself.

Trial & error
You are the best judge
Jellybean isn't that bad IMO, but I'm already due for a new battery. My phone is already a year old. Something to remember about Jellybean, the default settings for wifi(if turned on) , is to stay on when the phone is a sleep. However you can change it.
To improve responsiveness on ice you need to tweak the build.prop. I can't think of the tweak right now. Anyways I used android tuner app to fix it and I never had problems again. However, the app has updated and changed since. Some of the free tweaks aren't free anymore. I'll try to find the code you need.
Oh and thanks for giving me my props

Yeah idk.. I just know when I had stock rom from metropcs, my battery life would last maybe 12 hours of decent use.. now its lasting probably close to 24 hours without having to charge it. But if you could help me possible fix the responsiveness would be nice.
Also, I asked in another thread, which I dont think anyone knows the real answer, even after searching for it I couldnt find it.. but since im on 10g ICS, it keeps popping up and telling me to upgrade to JB.. is there anyway to remove the update notifications? I've read a few sites.. they mostly just say to freeze 2 things using root, and I tried that.. didn't seem to work. Just sucks, cause everytime I unlock my screen, it tells me to install it

I can't help you with the constant update nagging. There are a couple of threads on the subject, but they never lasted. However, I haven't tried them all, There's another option besides messing with those two apps but I can't remember.
To fix responsiveness add these tweaks to the build.prop
# Increases touch responsiveness
debug.performance.tuning=1
# Increases touch & video something lol
video.accelerate.hw=1
# Increases scrolling responsiveness
windowsmgr.max_events_per_sec=150
