I'm going to root my GS3 i9300 soon. But before doing that I want to know which of the following ROOT method is better when considering easy unrooting & resetting flash counter, resetting device status and all those stuffs. Precisely saying I don't want to get into much complications for reclaiming my warranty.

Hi,
I have an LG Optimus One P500 and would like to root it. However, I spent all my cash on it and I wouldn't want to brick it or VOID THE WARRANTY. I need a method of rooting my Optimus that will not void my warranty, preferably a one click root app or something.
Please help me.
Thanks.
If your phone came with android 2.2.1 or 2.2.2 onboard, then rooting first involves downgrading the firmware to 2.2. This process has the most chances of bricking your device. There is no concrete way of ensuring that bricking does not happen, though if you follow the instructions correctly, you will in all probability have no problems as lots of people have sucessfully completed the instructions.
You can chose to root your phone using a one click app like 'z4root'. Since there is an option to unroot your phone,you wont void your warranty.
You can even restore the phone to factory state even after installing a Custom recovery or Custom ROM by installing Original Firmware provided by LG using the same procedure used to downgrade yourr firmeware. This will remove all the traces of your fiddling with the phone and thus will preserve warranty.
I suggest that you read this -

How do i root my s2? Can anyone refer me to the proper rooting document and the latest updates? If we do rooting will we loose the warranty from the company? Can we restore to the original kernel/firmware if anything goes wrong with rooting? Will get restored to factory settings? I just brought s2 and i'm new to Andriod OS? Also by rooting the phone can we change the installation path of apps and games to the external memory(I'm takling about the 12 gig internal memory which will be shown as sdcsrd in file manager)?
I recommend Rooting, it will allow you to access system files. The easiest and effective method is Chainfire's, follow this,

You will need to flash back the Stock kernel to get rid of the Yellow traingle, follow this thread for that,

Rooting will void your warranty, but if you flash back the Samsung signed kernel and reset the ROM counter with an USB Jig then you will have warranty.

This is the easiest way to root without even using computer. Read it.
Or read about cfroot, that requires PC and Odin.
I am currently running 5.3.1.1 on my HD6 and want to root. I know a direct root isn't possible yet and you have to downgrade/root/upgrade, in that order. Downgrading following the steps in this thread: https://forum.xda-developers.com/fire-hd/general/how-to-downgrade-to-4-5-3-root-device-t3139351seems easy enough. I've used Kingroot several times before on other devices so I'm good there. My main confusion is when it comes to upgrading back to 5.3.1.1 after root. I've found this thread explaining the process:https://forum.xda-developers.com/fire-hd/general/how-to-upgrade-to-lollipop-root-gapps-t3163950but it's as clear as ink to me. If I were to try to upgrade through the Kindle's built in update checker would I end up with a brick, would I somehow lose root, or would I be fine and all these extra steps are just to get supersu and TWRP at the end along with root?
Can anyone help a hopelessly lost noob?
