Any other way to root without computer??

So Ive pretty much given up on trying to connect my phone to my laptop. Any way to root this phone with an app or something?? Like gingerbreak or z4root??

Nope, you need to flash cwm recovery through Odin then flash superuser.zip to root. Maybe rom manager has the cwm. Then reboot into recovery then flash the zip but I'm not sure. I don't use rom Manager

Isn't there SuperOneClick? I've never used it, so I'm not sure if it's an application used on the PC or on the phone.

Superoneclick doesn't work on 2.3.6. They say it works on 2.3.5. Odin, easiest way.. why is it that you don't want to use PC??

Was your problem narrowed down to your phone or the pc? I had a similar problem, but it was driver issues. After downloading Kies, it works fine.
I'm just sayin!

I thought it was the other way around, but anyways. Odin really is the easiest way to root the phone, hardly takes any time either.

Somehow I'm not sure mobile ODIN will help root anything.

Was pretty sure mobile Odin does not support our version of the sg2.

If i were you I would play it safe and borrow a computer. Last thing you want is a $500 paper weight

Actually there is a way.
Here is how I did it.
Download Rom Manager FREE and Premium.
Flash clockworkmod recovery for GSII Tmobile
Download Superuser from "Download Rom" section and scrolling down to where it says "Superuser"
Install the latest Superuser, and you're done!
It's that easy.
And then to get busybox, you can search the market for busybox installer and install the latest version of it.

Thank you all for responding, I have tried almost everything and nothing has worked. I spent like 6 hours last night searching all over the web and nothing solved this. The only thing i have left is to try on another laptop or pc. Hopefully that works

oh wow you still didn't get it to work? yeah narrow it down to either the pc or the phone.
his previous phone states that his old t989 connected completely fine to the laptop but after doing an exchange the new one is not detected. He has tried reinstalling and uninstalling the drivers, kies, and removing whatever is installed through usb with usbdeview.
so yeah, i'm stumped also. any of the mentioned method worked for me... soo good luck once again op! lol

You don't use mobile Odin for the one click. You just click the one click exe from your PC. Hey I think you should read up some more before going forward just to be safe.
Oh yea don't forget to put your phone in download mode

Thanks for the response however i am really limited because i cant connect my phone to my pc and im pretty sure the reason is because im running aokp. I posted a thread on q&a earlier today asking for help to connect it to the pc. If i cant use the exe thru mobile odin is there any way i restore my phone back to el29 without connecting it to pc?

If you made a backup of el29 before you flashed, then yes....just download the el26 kernel w cwm and restore your backup. If you did not make a backup, you can try to download calks el29 rom and flash through the el26 cwm recovery. Your PC might recognize your phone and allow you to do a one click flash then.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using XDA

Thanks where can i download the cwm el26 recovery?
Sent from my SPH-D710 using XDA

Or you can download the app zarchiver and open up the one click file with it so you can flash the tar file inside it in mobile odin. Real easy to do.

This.
In sfhub's EL29 one click thread, there are instructions under "android". You have to extract the tar first, then flash in mobile Odin.

Galaxy S3 root

Is there a way to root my galaxy s3 without a computer?
Sent from my SPH-L710 using xda app-developers app

You could try to mobile Odin clockwork mod then flash the root .zip file.. I just borrowed a friends pc to root.. in theory you are good to go after that..
I've never used it but in theory it should work
Mobile Odin is available on play store and the root zip is floating around here.. let me know if u need a link for it

you could also have used a virtual machine or bootcamp or whatever else. as for OP, no at this point there is no way to root without a PC. Just find a friend that has one, or an internet cafe or something.

Need help with a UNIQUE rooting problem

I have a unique issue... at least I haven't seen this issue asked or addressed. I'm trying to root my Sprint SGS3 on Jellybean 4.1.1, LJ7. I've tried to root using Odin tar files and Odin One-click's. I've done both with my Epic 4g Touch and NEVER... EVER had this problem before. What happens is EVERY time I try to root, weather using Odin tar files or Odin One-click's the progress goes as far as "getting PIT for mapping", then stops and eventually, ALWAYS fails. YES, I have the debugging box checked in settings on the phoneQ. YES,
Sent from my SPH-L710 using xda premium

The debugging box is completely irrelevant here. Are you in download mode. Try reinstalling the drivers and using a different cable/usb port

In pretty sure you can leave the pit field empty
Sent from my SPH-L710 using xda premium

Are you putting the tar file in the pda slot?
This is the method I've used twice with no issues

Did you try using a different usb port? Some coms are picky and that works for some people.

Yes, I've tried different com ports and different computers and different com ports on the different computers. I still get the same results.

What flavor of windows are you using? Does Windows recognize it? I have Win 7 and had to re-install Kies, updated it, and then ran as administrator in Win XP sp3 compatibility mode. Also, some have found hooking up the phone first, then opening Kies finds the phone, (Windows should see it first then ask what you want to do- click view files/folders and then minimize those windows). Just updated my GF's phone last night doing the above. Also, at certain points Kies may drop the phone, but reconnects and installs. Hope this helps.

Man, ive used odin a couple of times without any problem. I rooted and flashed su on 4.0.4 and then updated to stock jb and rooted using odin. What I meant by rooting is flashing a custom recovery. Yes, after all that I still flashed custom roms, lol, and yes, im now running a modified stock rom thanks to rushing who mixed the best mods and I just forget about tweaking and flashing many zips. Mobile hotspot working stock, priceless.
