Odin + Load proper auto-root zip as PDA in Odin. Keep in mind that you don't need root if you're going to change rom (you need custom recovery then).

[Q] recovery.img

Hi guys,
I've bee trying rooting my I9300 XXELL4 for a long time, followed all guides and nothing helped, still stuck on recovery.img every time.
Please help me understand the problem source and what is the solution, it's very desperating hearing all the time that it's very simple while you can't even you do exactly what the guides tell ya.
thank you!

wrong section, sorry
Please at least provide a link of your guide, anyway, you must have the pit file, if you want to ask about recovery.img then my recommendation is to download the right and latest one here: http://www.clockworkmod.com/rommanager
I root mine on Mac, that's why I asked for your guide link to help you

Please avoid PIT unless you really know what its for and are willing to brick your phone if not.
What recovery image and what tool to restore.

SLOVED! the lesson I learnt is:
Burn all your goddam DealeXtreme hardware, their s**ty stuff wasted too much energy and not worth the cheap cost.
Wait what?

Odin

Guys I sold my old HTC One X for a used Galaxy s3 so I'm very happy with how it's been so far and I'm not regretting it at all.
It's firmware is 4.0.4 and I wanted to root my phone.
I followed this guide: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QJss1_dZZeY&list=PLIB9nMQ3IBuXuTz3PQJb3AMT1POhpYeXG
I did tried the step by step guide and video but I always got stuck and problems at the PDA section. It says FAIL.
I did tried searching for a fix but it seems even though I'm not the first neither the last with this problem I had no idea how to fix it.
I also tried the MACosx version with Heimdall and exactly the same, it fails during the PDA part.
What is my solution?
Thank you so much!
Your question should be in q/a section but make sure you know which s3 you have. I have the 9305 & there are like 4 different versions out there.
Second the easiest way to root and have fun with this phone is to download the all in one tool from the original dev section. It has everything u need in one package.
Have fun! I had the one x and this is tens times better in a million ways!!

I think it depens whether you are using .tar files for pda/modem/csc or .zip... tar files shouldn't need the .pit but please, someone correct me if I am wrong
Don't touch a PIT file unless you want a broken phone. Not necessary in this case.
Edit to add - If you have problems getting a successful Odin flash, find Hopper8's 'Odin troubleshooting' guide stickied in the General section; info in that thread should enable you to get it done.
Thank y'all ! My s2 is alive again! Thx for the reactions!!
Greetings

You can also unbrick your phone by installing a new kernel i think. Don't know if 100% true though
