The best and simplest way to do this is to download odin to your pc then use it to flash phliz and use the root option in the recovery

I have been trying to flash philz with jodin because I am a linux user but it wont finish the job.

[Q] How to root 4.2.2

Hi all.
I flashed I9300XXUFME3 on my S3 and I want to root it.
How do I can to root it?
A way without cf-root please.
Hi
The procedure is the same as for 4.1.2.... Simply flash cwm with Odin and that's all

Its not all if he wants to root the rom (like post 1 suggests).

cf-root is a primary root and I want to Install super user not super su and I want to root it fully.
Sounds like an odd reason.
Why not just flash a rooted 4.2.2 rom?
Anyway I don't know a file that used super user.

Not cf-root
Thanks
No. I would link you to cf-auto root. You seem to have no valid reason not to use it and its the standard nowadays.

The only way we have been able to update is to flash stock in Odin and update and then re root etc ....
The new update had a bootloader that doesn't allow you to downgrade so can't use the older tar files in Odin after you update

You should flash only the file version. Of the software you started on before rooting/roming etc

I found a one-click MDK stock restore (an .exe file). Would that be a good one to use?

You may want to root or use airplane mode after you odin. A mdk will bring a few more dollars than the update you are about to get.

I think the ones on their website is 4.4.2 I could be wrong. Not sure if they updated their rom base to kitkat. U should try the one out in the development section for the s4. Someone made a port of it for our phone.

R u dl'in from ur phone or pc? Dl'in with ur phone has more of a chance of getting a bad dl'ed. Happens to me when I'm not around a pc. If u r using a pc make sure if the MD5 matches. If it does just keep trying different mirrors one of them will go threw hopefully :banghead:
