The Developer Edition has an unlocked bootloader. You can install whichever recovery of your liking.
Sent from my SCH-I545 using xda app-developers app
As a Developer Edition Owner I would strongly suggest making a Nandroid Backup before you do anything (modding, tweaking, etc). As of this moment we do not have any leaked firmware or images for the phone - a few devs/modders are trying to create an ODIN flashable package to restore us as close to stock as possible.
Baseband and Build should be JDQ39.I545OYUAMDK/I545OYUAMDK.
Either flash a recovery via Download mode and ODIN - my preference is Philz Touch Recovery - then flash root or maybe try motochopper to root. That way you can pull the partitions for backup (this will include stock recovery, stock boot, stock (but rooted) system, etc).

Hello all.....i've successfully unlocked the bootloader on my xperia s and now i need to root and install recovery. I'm confused with all the different options. I want to root, without installing another firmware, and then flash a recovery. I noticed a lot of rooting options have firmware with it. I want to be able to make a nandroid backup of my stock firmware. Can someone advise me please?
Just install a custom kernel and the rooting and recovery installation shall be done alongwith it. You can either use DooMLord's DooMKernel or the Advanced Stock with Recovery whichever you like. Next time, post your questions in the Q&A thread. This is the general discussion thread

Sorry about that. Thanks for your help.
Bootloader unlocked, rooted, running baseband vrall4, can someone explain to me how to update or do I need to flash back to stock?
Just download the new radio and flash it in recovery.

If you're talking about updating the OS, I believe there is a rooted stock ROM in the development section, if not you can use another ROM that has been updated with the latest OTA.

Once you download the VRAMC3 baseband, put it on your external SD card then boot into TWRP recovery, click install and then find the zip file for the bew baseband. Flash away.
Its always a good idea to check the md5sum of the download for the file or it could end up bad.
Thanks for your reply!
Still learning here, and don't want to make a mistake. I'm running Beanstown 106 v17 which is supposed to have all the features of the new update. From what I've read on this thread as long as I download my current modem along with new I'm at very little risk and revert back to my current modem? Thanks Again for the help. JW
Baseband download
I feel comfortable using twrp to install the baseband, can you provide a link to the new baseband download?
Updated Baseband Done!
Went off without a hitch, Thanks again for all the help!

I just update my S3 with this Tutorial
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1646610
I had Rooted in 4.1.2 with SuperSu on it , Now after update in 4.3 I still have SuperSU but when i open it says:
If you just upgraded to Android 4.3, you need to manually re-root .
now i need to know if i have to root again with This : CF-Root-SGS3-v6.4
or there is another method ?
here is Screenshot , setting/about.
Don't use cf root. please re-read general > sticky roll-up > understanding the basics before rooting

So i need to User CF-Auto-Root , but again im not sure if CF-Auto-Root works with Android 4.3
Avoid using CF-root as support has been dropped long ago. Use PhilZ Kernel to root your phone. It automatically installs root + custom touch-based recovery and works like a charm.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2002953
However since you're already on 4.3 you'll have to reflash a 4.1.2 ROM before flashing any of the PhilZ kernels as they are not yet built on the 4.3 kernel source code. You may get a boot loop if you attempt to flash it while running 4.3.

OK one more question .
Does it Depend on version of Android , Root process ?
example : is it same way to root 4.1.2 and 4.3 with same tools ?

1) philz is a recovery not a kernel
2) it does not automatically root anything. You have to flash a zip via philz recovery.
This is all documented in post 2 of the thread you linked

There aren't any rooting methods for SGS3 running 4.3 yet as it is new. But seeing how 4.3 introduced new security updates which broke root on some devices. The method of rooting the S3 on 4.3 may change as well though I'm not sure by how much. But rooting methods with regards to 4.1.2, yes they are the same.

Whoops my bad. I've always thought of PhilZ as a safe kernel with recovery and root the moment you flash it.
In any case, OP should still use it.

someone who knew what he was talking about said you shouldn't use chainfire's method on 4.3. Listen to him.
The fact that it worked for you doesn't mean that it'll work for everyone. SO DON'T GIVE ADVICE.
So you're not the person who knows what he's talking about? Maybe your answer would be more useful if you could explain why not to use SuperSU in stead of just telling other people not to five advice. Or don't give advice yourself.

hello devs,
i have an international variant GT-I9300 . I upgraded it with the ATO(OPEN AUSTRIA) . After this upgrade ,i was not able to root ...i used the CF AUTO ROOT , SUPERSU , and even mobogeine root method . its getting failed....
please help me devs......i would like to root it...either to get a stable international variant ROM.
If you intend to then flash a custom rom then don't bother rooting your stock firmware, all custom roms are already rooted.
If you want to stay stock then flash a prerooted version via odin, get a link for one on xda in general forum.

or else.. sorry for asking this silly question ...i am just a newbie...
No, go read the sticky thread in general forum on how to flash custom recovery then custom rom. Factory reset before you start then back efs.

i checked the whole procedure of it as u told.... but while i am flashing CFROOT but it is showing "FAILED SIGNATURE VERIFICATION" . and the same thing for superSU ......
so...in case if i flash PHILZ RECOVERY or CWM ......without rooting........ will my phone get bricked ???...
Check out Cyanogenmod Installer follow the instrustion it will root and install the latest stable CM for your phone .
You are still missing basic knowledge, you can't flash anything with stock recovery.
Flashing recovery doesn't require root, but you can brick the phone if you don't understand what you are doing.

Recovery is in the different partition, so it doesn't affect the /system partition, which has your OS rooted unless you reflash the whole stock ROM.

ok thx
I should ask , because of the rooted status (even tho i'm on stock recovery) i wouldn't get the OTA update right?
Whats the safest way to flash stock recovery? through TWRP or an apps like flashify?

In fact, you can get OTA normally by installing Xposed then install Wanam Xposed, choose fake system status in security hacks and restart > You get official system status.
About that recovery, download the stock ROM and extract it (its tar.md5 or md5), get the recovery.img, copy it to your SD card then flash it with TWRP (remember to press the Image button on Install) >> You get stock recovery.
Press thanks if i helped
