[Q] where is the root method involving google play? - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi guys. About half a year ago I was rooting galaxy s3 and flashing KitKat ROM. The way Ive rooted it was by using some app from google play which needs internet connection to download and root your phone as well as download and install CWM recovery. Last week my friend asked me to root his s3 and unfortunately I forgot the app name and I cant find it anywhere on XDA where I found it 6 months ago. I know there are many methods for root, but I really really need this specific one. If anybody knows where to find it or the app name please let me know ASAP. I seriously need this app and any other root methods dont interest me. Help Please.

AFAIK all rooting apps got removed from google play so your only choice is to to it via pc

root system files
hi guy i think im in the wrong section but i just need to ask one simple quick question. i have a rooted international Samsung galaxy s3 running to original ROM. i accidentally deleted my SystemUI.apk and now have no notification bar. i found one on the internet somewhere and it was a modded one and i want the original one but cant find anywhere. please can somebody with a international s3 please upload the original one so i can download.

[Q] Rooting Samsung Galaxy S II

Hello.
I need access to a file, but on several sites on google - all say that i need to root...
So i want to root my phone, but still keep the "official" android (dont want CyanogenMod etc.)
But im really insecure on how to root my phone - and how risky is it?
Can you please provide me with a guide (with pictures please) on how to root it.
PS: Can i still update my android, if i root the phone?
Will all the data on the phone be deleted? like reinstalling windows....

You should have posted in galaxy s2 section but:
You can keep stock android, just follow this link to root your S2 and it will be fine. There is also video tutorial in the link
You won't be able to update your phone with Software Update but you can always find the latest firmware for S2 from SamFirmware
The sam firmware website is where you can find all the stock firmware for the S2
Your files will be fine such as music pictures etc they will not be wiped and it's not risky to root your phone with the link above
If you have any other questions just ask
Ice

[Q] Any chance to root Galaxy S3 Mini clone aka Bephone I9300

Recently bought an android phone hoping it was on ICS 4.0.3 as it states in the About Phone. Just read through a forum @ forum.china-iphone.ru/viewtopic.php?t=24021 that it wasn't. Is there any hope this device can be rooted at least? I'm having a lot of apps which can install from Google Play but aren't working properly sometimes downright shutting down (ie. Temple Run). I even get the error 498 while trying to download some apps. Hoping you could help me root it.
Here's some more details about this phone.

[Q] Rooting Verykool S735 (Android 2.3.6)

Hi all,
This is my first post on the forum so iI would appreciate if the moderators reallocates this in case I am in the wrong forum.
I bought a Verykool S735 running Android 2.3.6 yesterday. This is my first Android phone and I decided to try using Android with an unexpensive phone before deciding to leave iOS definitely and buying a more complete/expensive Android device.
Well, I am trying to root the phone but every method I have tried so far is useless (tried using Simple One Click, installing stuff like Z4root and so).
Can anyone help me to get this phone rooted? Please let me know if you need more details to answer.
Thanks a lot for your help,
any help with that?
I need to root my s735 too, as it has whasapp preinstalled as system app, and dont let me upgrade or delete it.
if you got luck with a answer please tell me...
cheers,
necao

Hi there,
Unfortunately, no.
I ended up selling it some weeks after I bought it and got a Motorola XT890 It's a good phone for the price (you can get good deals at eBay).

You could try one of these tools to root this device:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=45002975#post45002975
If any of them doesn't work you could use SuperOneClickv1.7-ShortFuse or SuperOneClickv2.3.3-ShortFuse.

Your best bet is to borrow a friend or family member's PC and get it over with, it'll probably take you 2 minutes to root it.
