[Q] How to root SIII - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi all,
I want to root my Samsung SIII and tried to look for information, but I am lost with so much thread to read and not sure which one is current.
Could someone please give me a direction where I should begin?
I have a Samsung SIII model SGH-T999 with Android version 4.1.1
Thanks,
Tri

1. Post questions in the Q&A section, otherwise the police will be here soon
2. Look at the stickies and especially at the FAQ thread in the Q&A section, anything described there.

wow. there's a link to the rooting guide on the main page of the i9300 forum.

if you want cm9 then go here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1419102
Download the
CM9 Resurrection Edition for use with Odin
that is simplest
or if you need stock ICS firmware use any ICS firmware LP7 or LP8 flash with idon read some thread you will understand every thing
Welcome to XDA and Galaxy S2 users. The Roll Up Sticky thread should be your starting point. Apart from that , the ICS Rom thread should get you starting on stock ICS roms. Once you are comfortable with these you can explore Android development and custom Roms forum.
Good luck.

Second you need to learn to search this question is asked ten thousand times already .
Third if you had read the faqs and guides you would have a clue .
.
As said stickies faqs etc links posted .
Stock ICS in General thread and in stock rom thread .
BUT as you know nothing why not update via official Samsung KIES method you are less likely to brick your phone .

[Q] [Beginner] i9305 HK Version Rooting on Mac

Hello all,
It's been quite a while I have been searching around for the correct procedure on how to root my S3 LTE Hong Kong version [I9305ZHALI2], but either the information is confusing or the procedures exist for Windows or for the US versions of the phone only.
Can anybody please point me to the right direction and let me know where to find the right procedures to follow to root the phone and install CWM and Pandoriam ROM?
This is my first decent Android phone and I have never rooted anything before, so I would like to make sure I don't scr*w up
Thank you in advance!
This is for I9300. There is a sub forum for I9305s. Search on google for root i9305 and you'll get a post explaining how to do it.

I actually tried, but as a beginner I find it confusing, so I was hoping to find a more detailed guide on the forum.
However, thanks for the reply, from which I can assume that rooting I9305 is kind of "universal" and does not depend on the country?

ask in the correct forum
Root is posted in original development .
Guides and Faqs are stickied in General .

[Q] How do i flash THIS ROM on S3

Hi guys,
i know most of you are thinking now why i dont search or google or something else but really i cant do anything about this.
I am new to flashing and rooting and i rooted my s3 ella i9300 version with the samsung toolkit v 7.0 via odin.
Now i would like to instlall this ROM: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2106471&nocache=1
But srsly, there is no good tutorial for newbies. i cant understand why the developers never try to help us noobs in such situations like this.
So please can anyone help me out? I went into the download section of the ROM but there are so many files i dont know which to take and download...
Thanks in advance

Yes but you would be better not flashing that rom . But spending time reading the basics first as you are lacking in even the first steps .
Noobs are expected to read first flash last this is a developers forum for developers . Those that don't bother to learn the basics are not going to be spoonfed .
So seriously you read the posted stickied faqs and guides or suffer a bricked phone your choice .

You're posting in the wrong forum section. This is for the Galaxy S, not the S II.
You can find the Galaxy S II forum here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s2
What version/model do you have. Is it an i9100. Check on back of the phone under the battery

Apparantly the thead has been moved to the correct section
You had posted it in the I9000 General section but them mods silently moved it to the correct section
At this moment this Google search shows the original location of your post.
Good luck getting your device rooted!

There are several s2 phones, and before we begin dispensing advice, it would be helpful to know which s2 you have.
The best way to find out is in system settings: about phone: model number.
If you remove the battery, the model number can be found there as well.
In this page you can find a good way for root your s2 It worked for me.

[Q] help which version s3 do i have and root help

Hi all, ok its been a very long time since i rooted my sg3 , ok i have an s3 locked to vodafone and is running rom 4.1.2 baseband I9300XXEMG4, So is this normal verizon/sprint phone and yes im in the UK.
What i need to no is can somebody post a link to me and the latest easier way to root my S3 Please, sorry to have forgotton the whole thing but its been ages since i last rooted,
Also are there any latest sound boosting hacks that are available now ?
And finally sorry for posting in wrong section to the admin if i have.
Hope to get some help very soon.
Thankyou from Brian.
Makes no sense, this forum is for the i9300 international -if you have a sprint then you'll brick it with files from this forum.
Suggest you go read the sticky thread in general, rather than posting questions already asked a thousand times.
Start by finding out what phone you have .
Details are under the battery .
If it is an I9300 then all the information is posted .
Basics read first.

Oh i am of the same opinion your question made no sense as sprint verizon is USA and therefore would be in the wrong forum .Likely you would brick the phone if asking for
information here would be extremely high if that was the case and you suggest you have Vodaphone UK phone but ask about some other model .

I didn't intend any sarcasm, I don't want you to brick your phone but I'm not going to type information you can find for yourself in just a few moments.
