So I have my spirit gs3 rooted and I'm trying to help my brother with his.
I am browsing through the at&t forums and don't see any tutorial. Just curious if someone can point me inv the right direction.
Thank you.

You didn't look very hard considering the title is "no trip root"

And OP this is how I obtained root for mine its really easy just make sure you get drivers and you'll have to use adb to get cwm installed

I did look and didn't find anything. That's why I posted the question.
Thanks for the link though.

Not to nitpick, but to avoid future problems you might want to saunter on over to the Sprint forum if you do indeed have a Sprint device.

Hello All,
I just got my new S3 with T-Mobile, but I'm not sure what to do next. Is there any ways to safely root s3 yet? Is there a guide for bloatware removal? Thanks for all the help!

You should root with the "No tripping flash counter option".

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.

Hey XDA,
I was wondering if there was a way to root the t999 without using a PC, because I don't have one at the moment. Thanks in advance.

I'm guessing you already searched and couldn't find it.
It didn't work. For some reason it was only working on Sprint phones.

Wouldnt using Mobile ODIN allow you to flash the root .tar file from your device? Not certain as I never used Mobile ODIN.

Nope, it requires root. Unfortunately. Which I think is kind of stupid.

I just think it's inconvenient for people who want to flash tars that are not rooted. I do think the app is absolutely amazing though.
Sent from my SGH-T999
MobileODIN wouldn't work if it wasn't Root. Functional, not stupid.
Back on topic, on other devices that I have had, you can flash a custom recovery via the stock recovery but naming the file 'update.zip' and placing it in the root of the ext_sd. Not sure about the T999 series, I haven't looked into or tried it.
What about cf autoroot by chain fire?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-T999 using Tapatalk 4 Beta
CF auto root requires Odin on a pc.
I really do not think there.is a way to do this. Sorry man.
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda premium
Suggestion: Find an internet cafe (if you can find one that allows downloading exes)
Pay for the time you think you might need.
Download Odin
Download the files you need
You know the rest!
Or you must have a friend who would be willing to give you a go.
It takes about 15 mins to do it if you know what you are doing.
I hope that helps, cheers!
Thanks guys. Mods can close this topic now.

Maybe it will be easiest to use someone else's PC first. After that Mobile Odin can allow flashing from on board your phone.

Other than the method posted, no. Did you use the files in the attachments linked to that root thread? As there are no exploits available to make flashable roots it must be done either with a computer or the method posted.

I apologize for sounding rude, but if you can't follow that guide I don't suggest messing around with your phone too much.
It's pretty straight forward, all you're doing is typing commands into terminal emulator once the required files are on your sd....not difficult in the slightest.
Why not just go to a library and use one of their computers? Or a friends? There's no one click root for the GS3 pretty sure.
Thats where I need help at the terminal emulator commands

Well anyway,
I did try the exploit on my computer and discovered that the exploit appears to be patched for AT&T phones on the latest update, which most people have, which makes this thread somewhat pointless.
It did work on the previous 4.1.1, but only with a computer, which still makes this thread pointless, and most people are going to struggle anyway with the way the terminal commands are given.
It's much easier to just use someone else's computer and use one of the easier root methods.

Would it possible to install a virtual box on my android a d run one click root or odin from that?

Good day have been searching for a way to root it but it seems like its still faulty in some cases, in your opinion wich method would you recommend to root this model?

Use the toolkit in the original development section. It does everything for you. Doesn't get any easier

Thanks for answering, didn't use it because read some posts where people said they bricked their device while using it.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda app-developers app
Any bricking was the result of people not paying attention. As long as you can read english , you have nothing to worry about

Cf auto root is extremely easy too

Not so sure about people mistaking it when flashing, the thread is closed right now says that the software cant be distributed in its current form.

I too am leary of rooting due to bricking comments. Have you, or anyone, found a way to get twrp installed on top of "officially updated" 4.2.2 unit?
if so, please post link.
thnx
Just rooted my device with cf's worked great, using 4.1.2 though
