I have a samsung i9300t running the new android 4.1.2 that came out last November, having trouble rooting it tho, I've tried framaroot, none of them work and I don't want a root that requires flashing. Could someone help find a root for me thanks,
Nathan
Questions in the q&a forum, you will have to flash you want root. Read the guides.

If you're still at 4.1.2, lucky you. (Don't upgrade to 4.3 unless you're sure you like all the changes. I personally hate quite a few of them except some layout changes)
Toolkit by mskip is REALLY good. I wish I could still use mine though. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1703488
I'll just quote this from many users. Read carefully and it'll provide you with some basic knowledge of what to expect and what procedures to take before attempting anything
EFS is really important, you should backup it first thing after rooting.

Hi,
I had a question about rooting my galaxy s2. I searched a while for a great tutorial on youtube.
I found this amazing site called; galaxys2root.com, with a video called "How to Root Galaxy S2! [NEW][Works on All Galaxy S2 Variants]".
I tried to root my phone, but it doesn't seem to work. The software used in the video is 2.3.3. I thought this might be the problem, since I followed every step carefully.
I was wondering if anyone knew how to root a 2.3.6. A video similar to the one written above would be great, since it is my first time rooting!
Thanks in advance,
Monkeyfntstc

SEARCH FIRST
Just use Odin With CF Root Kernel
Again, asking us about a method that isn't on this site is pointless. How would we know ?
If you want to root your phone using a method from here, CFRoot thread. Do not use this method (or any method for that matter) to root your phone until you absolutely thoroughly understand the instructions.
The risk of bricking your phone using any method to root increases exponentially with how poorly you understand it/how little attention you pay to the instructions.
You would also do well to read the stickies.
There are no videos, there are no shortcuts.
thanks Mistahbungle
It looked easy while watching the video.. that is why i was wondering
Also, make absolutely sure you have an I9100/I9100T.
Check in settings/about phone; you'll need to do this anyway to check your current kernel so you can find a matching CFRoot kernel to flash in order to root your phone.
Make sure using the correct ROM and kernel, for G version and non G.
Good Luck friend!
US Cellular LTE SG3 - SCHR530, Was build ALK5 on 4.1.1 and was rooted (using free version mskip's Toolkit) and all was fully functional. When the 4.1.2 android update became available for my phone, I performed manual 4.1.2 download/installation, which completed successfully. Build AMD4.
Donated/upgraded to mskip's pro version Toolkit. Began the re-root - exact build wasn't listed, picked closest, completed process, phone was rooted BUT lost all access to camera and any apps that use camera failed due to camera fail. Unable to find a cure for this particular issue, I used the toolkit to unroot my phone. I RE-applied Samsung android update 4.1.2 and have remained UNrooted until last night.
Ran the Toolkit, toolkit auto-updated to the latest version released (says 4.1.2 build AMD4 is supported) , prepared to root phoneagain I find this exact build (AMD4) is not listed, so picked closest one, completed process, phone is rooted..... BUT AGAIN I have no use of camera!
How can I fix this and stay rooted? Or do I resign myself to not having a rooted phone in order to keep functionality of my camera?
Thanks for any helpful insights to this issue.

I am having the exact same issue, I need my camera and my root, might have to go back to 4.1.1 to get it though.
I'm also on a donated toolkit, please post if you find a solution.
This is the i9300 forum, you are in the wrong place. Also have you tried contacting mskip to raise a query?

Thank you for your acknowledgement, I truly appreciate it.
I did know this is the i9300 forum, and I have tried to contact mskip a number of times, including directly in the thread that the most recent toolkit was announced. Apparently I cannot post in there (?) due to not having enough posts and not being a developer; at least that's what the "error message" is when I tried. And then the advisement that I must post questions in a Q & A. I guess I'm lost!
In any case, I did several searches for the camera issue combined with rooting and I ended up in this forum. I would greatly appreciate it if you could steer me towards the proper place to post - I haven't seen a specific forum for the US Cellular model SG3, and I'll admit - I'm greatly out of practice these days in my forum using skills.

Still no love for my issue, and almost a month later, still the choice of root & no cameras or cameras & no root :crying:
Toolkit support says US CELLULAR MODEL LTE[SCH-R530] support should use AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III forum, can anyone verify for me if that is the correct place to try to post about my problem? Thank you very much!

It does seem that most of that info is out of date and there is no real home for the US Cellular LTE Samsung Galaxy S3, and as far as the other methods, I am just not that savvy - the automated toolkit is slick, but I appreciate your suggestions. Thank you.
I have looked around for a while but cant seem to find anything clear. So i made an account.
Will i be able to root my S3 (i9305) and install a custom rom?
Got the phone from T-Mobile UK on contract. I updated to 4.3 when it came through ota.
Sorry for asking :fingers-crossed: but thanks to anyone who replies.
Hello Heych123 and welcome to XDA. First a fair warning .... you will get addicted to this site :silly:
Ok, rooting the S3 I9305 is prety easy, altough i'd like to advice you to read read read before you do do do.
For rooting your device, use / read this thread
[GT-I930x/T/N][SHV-E210*][SHW-M440S] CF-Auto-Root
After you've succesfully rooted your device, i'd advice you to use / read this thread
[APP][4.0+][ROOT] SA Manager (EFS, TA backup & restore)
Lastly, or maybe better yet, start with reading the first four pinned threads on this page.
My last advice would be to keep everything (downloads and stuff) nicely orginized on your PC by putting everything in clearly labeled folders.
Like a folder for root-files ...... and a folder for ROMs ..... and a folder for backups ...... and so on.
Good Luck and have fun !!! :highfive:

Hello everybody,
I'm totaly new with the root thing. I tried already to root my Samsung Galaxy S2 and even though root checker says that my device is rooted I can't unistall some system apps (blootware I think, or something like this ) that I don't need.
Is it possible someone to give me an advice? I will try to root my phone again but I have some questions:
What is the best root method?
Which kernel must I use?
And which custom ROM do you suggest?
My phone:
Samsung Galaxy S2 GT-I9100
PDA: I9100XWLSD
Android: 4.1.2
Thank you in advance
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda app-developers app
1) There is no best root method, they all work. Stickied threads in General and at the top of Q&A have all the info you need, we're not regurgitating this stuff for every n00b who asks when it's already been done thousands of times before since the phone has been released & we have stickied threads specifically for this purpose.
2) Which kernel you use depends on the root method. Read the method as many times as you need to until you understand it, then follow it. Doing before understanding will lead to a broken phone.
3) Rom recommendations are forbidden here, go to the two development sections once you've rooted your phone, read some threads, try some roms (make sure you do a nandroid backup in CWM before you start; What's a nandroid backup ? Search).
Hi guys,
Just two weeks ago I bought my Galaxy S3. As the title of my post suggests, I'm planning to root my Galaxy S3 GT-I9300(International Variant) soon. It's running in the latest official update of Android, the JellyBean 4.3. I want to install any other ROM with a pure Android experience, which also gets me to latest, KitKat version. I googled the tutorial for rooting this device and I found these methods,
Method 1: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GiZ7D2zjJdA
Method 2: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3gYjoW22h7c
>>both of them says works for JellyBean 4.3 also says it won't void warranty.
Coming to the point. I want you suggest method which won't void my warranty and also whenever I want to claim warranty I should be able to,
*unroot
*reset flash counter
*make the device status to 'Official' not 'Normal'.
[Note: I'm will be flashing and trying custom roms]
Can you help me with these? My device version is I9300XXUGNB6

All the FAQ's or all other stuff doesn't answer my problem buddy, if you can't help at least say how to make status to 'Official' not 'Normal' after un-rooting.
For this you use TriangleAway. But it doesn't work always: sometimes you still have counter=1. If you want 100%security, don't root.
