Like the title says, I need a completely idiot proof rooting method that's up-to-date. The methods I've tried have not worked and I was forced to factory reset twice to return to normal.

Thank you, I tried the Team Epic route the first time and managed to botch it by leaving auto-reboot checked! I need to remember to look through comments on there next time XD

Good to hear, make sure (now that you are rooted) to check out this rom, best one going in my opinion. PM me if you have any questions http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1748818

Alright, I'm hoping I can get some quick useful feedback on this. Posting this here in the Hercules Forum because of device similarities. I'm currently on AOKP Official Milestone 6, and every time I reboot it reverts me settings I had on August 28th. I've been going thru this all day long, Google searching, scanning forums for my device and the T989.
I've attempted Odin flashes 13 times today to go back to Stock Gb and Stock Ics, the flashes show successful, yet AOKP boots right back up. Recovery does nothing to wipe, currently on Clockworkmod Touch Recovery.
Formatting all caches and partitions, Dalvik wipes all 5x each do nothing, even flashing something after this does nothing. I can't even reset AOKP, it takes me right back to the same condition from August 28th, same theme, apps, etc, all there. I've even formatted both emmc and sdcard, nothing. Whatever I do gets overwritten to the previous condition.
Can someone please help me out with this. I'm not even sure what to classify an issue like this as.

Thanks for the quick reply. I've tried Darkside Super Wipe as well as the Cache Wipe, it hangs on "Aligning Disks". I'll give TWRP a go, couldn't flash over the touch cwm with a non touch with odin

Another no go. Vincom over in the Skyrocket forums schooled me on what's going on. Its a failure to write to the nand. He was trying to help another guy out with the same situation, and nothing worked for him either. I'm on my second Skyrocket, my luck with 3's hasn't ever been so good. I'm within my 30 days still, if I can brick it, I may be able to get a new phone.
Thanks for all your help tho man, really appreciate it

Damn that sucks bro and I tried sorry couldn't help ya and yeah brick that sucker n send it in ha

I am having the same issue right now with my t989. How did you end up bricking your phone in order to send it in for a new one? I have tried just about everything to brick mine but have had no luck because nothing will install properly.
Open ROM manager and flash a recovery not for a galaxy and you'll brick it

I searching for the best root method, for an ATT Galaxy S3. The toolkit does not work on the latest update. And who wants to screw around with ADB. Is there another method similar to SuperOneClick that will root and install CWM and superuser at the same time.
CRzy
Toolkit is the easiest way. If not working try Odin. And if you search a little there is plenty of thread about this subject...
Sent from my SGH-I747 using xda app-developers app
Ok
I tried the toolkit, but apparently it doesn't work with the latest update. I have also tried to download a root injected rom. That didnt work either.

I am giving it up, and taking it to ATT. Worst case scenario, is I will just have to get a new phone. Could be worse, at least I am eleigible for an upgrade. Thanks everyone for your help
How getting a new phone will help you? You just need to go back before the last update

Would like to give Strong Steve thanks for this awsome rom! Very smooth. Only problem I have run across is google now says there is an update but failed to install. Says package file not signed correctly. Uninstall the previous copy of app and try again.

You should know that you shouldn't update the apks which Steve has themed. Turn off auto update in your Market app, and wait for him to provide a flashable update for you. One of the many reasons his ROM is the best is he's very quick in getting updates out to his followers.
This is the best, most thoroughly-themed, smoothest, and best battery life ROM available for the S3. His work is impeccable.

You will have to enter VM mmsc url to send/receive mms pics, but you can still get data, text, voice, with Sprint roms on your VM e4gt.
