I got a Galaxy S3 and want to root it before i really do anything to it, its just that i cannot find a thread about rooting Galaxy S3. Im also new to android phones as i was always using iPhone but got bored of it. Sorry if this has been asked, i couldn't find a thread about it.
EDIT : For Xode's post, is there any order that i need to follow ? Sorry i couldn't quote cause my post was lower than 10.

You must first go to "How to Root Samsung Galaxy S3 Smartphone" and then "How to Install ClockworkMod Recovery on Samsung Galaxy S3" and " How to Remove Bloatware from Samsung Galaxy S3", is at your choice...
I bricked my Sprint S3 trying to flash Omega. It wont even turn on no matter what i do, and trust me I have tried it all. So I have found a few vids about usb jigs and how to use them. So if im able to get in download mode what should I push thru odin? Was there or is there a .tar somewhere that brings you back to stock?
someone please help.
Anything you find here will be for the international version, and as you know now, won't be compatible with the us versions.
Try the us versions forums and see if anyone has anything that can help.

Chances are you killed that poor Galaxy S III, R.I.P.
Custom ROMs are meant for the International Version of Galaxy S III (GT-I9300) and if Im correct the one from Sprint is a variant.
The only way to have this fixed is to send it for JTag (Forced Download Mode via Hardware manipulation)
u flash rom which is made for international s3 .. I think that's y u brick

Like a champ .
fixboot tar
if you can get into download mode you can flash a tar called fixboot found on the at&t section of the galaxy s3 on this site. It worked for mine when it wouldnt come off of the dreaded download screen with the yellow exclamation triangle on it. Just a thought. it works on the sprint version too.
If you can get a replacement phone though insurance or otherwise.. do that.
otherwise jtag repair from Josh worked but i had no lte coverage.
i am sure he has the updated tools to fix that now. but be carefull out there and learn your phones model number.
Hey guys I'm getting a S II today through Asurion since my Sensation broke and they didn't have any Sensations left so they offered me an HTC Amaze or S II and I took the S II. I am on the T-Mobile network. Anyways to my question as far as rooting can I use the method in this video:
http://galaxys2root.com/t-mobile-gal...y-s2-sgh-t989/
Also, I can just download gapps and the CM9 nightly and place on SD card and flash through CWM like any other phone right?
Lastly, in anticipation of receiving my S II I've been reading these forums and I noticed that Samsung has included some type of ROM flash counter that counts how many times you flash different FW's/ROMs. Is there any precautions I need to take or anything like that or just flash CM9 like you would flash it on any other phone? Thanks in advance!

FYI, it appears that you already know that the T-mobile USA Galaxy S II is the SGH-T989? Well, that phone has its own forum. This is the forum for the GT-I9100, which is the international version. Firmwares/ROMs and kernels are NOT compatible between the two.

Wow thanks for that advice...would have bricked my phone haha!
Haven't been on this forum in years and now back. Looking at getting the Galaxy S3 from ATT as the new iphone doesn't seem worth it after all this wait. I have never used any android device before so know nothing about their OS or anything really. I've used HTC Tilt2 device which was probably my last device on this forum and flashed roms and all that just fine. Looking on here though for the past hour i can't find like a tutorial on how to flash roms? Do i need to unlock my stock phone first?
I see people talk about using Odin which sounds like this is a flashing software for roms?
I'm really interested in flashing this rom, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1797334 as it seems like a stock rom but with all the upgrades in speed/stability/etc. How would i do this and safely?
What are the fail safe procedures such as i get a bad flash what do i do? Phone doesn't finish flash and gets stuck on boot logo what do i do? If im at work and this happens can i fix it via SD card while on the go?
I remember there usually being a sticky that answers this kind of stuff but have read all the stickies for this sub-forum device and found none that in layman's terms describes the above?
I will be reading much more on this site trying to figure this thing out but this really all is Chinese to me as i know nothing about android and their OS or flashing procedures. Remember the days of a simple rom flash on my Tilt2 device took about 30 seconds no brainer. I some how can't understand this stuff though. Greatly appreciate if anyone can answer the above questions and/or point me in the right directions as a total 100% noob to android and this phone. Thank you for your time.
Unless you want a bricked device....do not flash any roms from this section! These are for the international variant only!

And for some reason you think that makes a difference?
Its still common sense no matter how many times you have been on a forum or whatever the forum type that if you have a problem or need some info its more then likely your not the only person to ever need this info so you would first do a search.
99% of anything you will ever ask here has already been asked a million times over and it would be quicker and cause less clutter if you would do a simple search first :good:
