I take it I won't need to find the drivers for the play since i already have the PC companion installed?

just try if it can't root your phone then you might need a driver may be just gorden gate driver but just try it first.

Is there any way to root galaxy s 3 for t mobile running 4.1.1 without a computer?

Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app
As of right now, the only way to get root is with the use of the computer as of yet.
Being that seems to work pretty well I doubt there will be development to a root method without a computer.
Hmm, thanks for your feedback

I put the developer kit on my phone and then you can do it from someone elses computer...
What about mobile Odin pro? Then use that to flash the recovery of your choice. The reboot to recovery and install the superuser script?

Doubt it. I think you still need pc

Mobile odin requires root. So it can't be used to gain root.
Chainfire release a rooting method. I haven't tried it but have heard it works well. You still need Odin on a pc for any root procedure that I'm aware of.

Rooting is yes, only available via computer.

Np!
Just realized I didn't mention chsinfires method is called CF-auto root I believe. Its in original development.
Or you can also use the root66 method. Link to the fw thread in my sig.

Do it the old fashion way.....this worked well back in the day....

Due to having a computer with non working USB ports....

If I take my phone to t-mobile can they update it at the store? My stepdaughter won't let me try on her laptop( she's a pain in the ass and doesn't like me anyways)

Non rooted, no desire to root so Odin isn't possible

Why not put all your things on a flash drive or external hard drive and go to the library might be able to do it there or some place else where there is computer access
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-T989 using xda app-developers app
Still have to have to be able to DL kies, doubt I'd be allowwed to at library
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda app-developers app
In that case never hurts to try at the store or maybe go to a buddy's house
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-T989 using xda app-developers app
I've asked a few friends but they all said no after I told em we needed to DL kies. Even though I assured them kies is safe and will be deleted after we are finished. So whatever.
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda app-developers app
That's ****ty... Im pretty sure The store won't do it.
And your friends suck.
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda app-developers app
You don't really need root to Odin... just put it in dl mode. (Power+vol up)...
But that doesn't help you with the no usb thing. But you could probably Odin at a library...

Odin is safer than kies...and it doesn't require root/won't root your phone.
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda app-developers app
Odin is better.. Ask a friend if you can download and install the drivers and do the software update on their computer..

Yeah, what others said. Odin won't root it....unless you root it. Just flashing rom wont root it.
If no one on earth will let you use their computer for this.....then I'm gonna guess you're a known computer jinx or something and they don't want you breaking their stuff!

It would be cool if someone on here lived close to you so they could help out. I see you're in Ohio, that's just across the lake from me. If we were closer I'd gladly help.

What about the exynos abuse root method? What build is the phone currently on? It did get patched but I don't remember what build.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda app-developers app
Well I was able to using a app. Im cursed with having a broke volume down button, so that was my only choice since i couldnt get to download mode without rooting and using a widget to reboot to download mode.
I have to dig around for the app but I know I saved it just in case...
Actrully found it I used a app called framaroot.

Interesting. It's worth a shot OP. Worst case, it fails and you uninstall. If it is successful, you can install mobile odin, then get the latest gb27 tar, and money. While you're at it, you will have to flash a cwm custom jb kernel, since you're on ics, and, MO won't flash modems, you'll need a jb modem to use data on gb27. Download the zip though of the modem . Good luck, let us know how it goes.

Hopefully it works for you. I don't see why it wouldn't. Might be more complicated but it worked for me. but of course YMMV. Just follow what jdsingle76 said you you'll be good to go.

Have you tried using a different USB port / cord? I know that our phones don't play well with 3.0 usb ports.

Try mtp mode
