Linux and root? - Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III

I have searched and perhaps I am blind but, can someone show me a link to rooting a sprint gs3 using a Linux machine?
I feel like it is right in front of me but I'm missing it somehow. Thanks in advance.

Very first sticky thread under Android Development, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1746680
Read the entire thread. Rooting with Linux distribution is discussed. I searched within the thread and found several posts referencing "Linux."

How do I return to stock on a mac?

I am rooted, but before I start flashing roms, I want to learn how to return to stock on my mac. Could someone explain step by step or refer me to where I can find a detailed explanation?

Q&A Section can help you.
It's quite easy.
Google provided images of everything, with a handy script to make them all go.
http://code.google.com/android/nexus/images.html#mysid
Download the factory images package, command line into the directory, and run the script. "sh <scriptname>" should do it.
I forgot if it includes the tools or not, but worst case scenario, you'll have to get the android sdk downloaded also, then drop those images into and run the script from the platform-tools folder.
Try my guide. Its for the nexus s 4G but everything should be the same thing. Just make sure u put your phones stock img files into the adb folder.

I have posted this question in almost five forums without an answer. I posted the question where people are more computer and code savvy in hope someone wouldn't mine explaining what to do. I thought I might find someone here who would help.

Five other forums are not what they are talking about. On XDA, you are in a sub-forum of Samsung Galaxy Nexus, for only development. You will not be received well here.
Go Here and repost: http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1431
Thats Galaxy Nexus Q&A
This URL is for the list of subforums in nexus: http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1336
And this is the forum sticky in this forum you should have read before posting:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1400919
Which says, don't post in this forum, there is a forum for posting.
EDIT:
I was bored so i looked around for you, in the Galaxy Nexus General thread (you've posted there before), at the top, there is a sticky called "NEXUS STICKY | USEFUL INFO", in there is this url with instructions for OSX: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1366806

It doesn't matter if you posted your question 235,653,966 times somewhere else. Questions do not belong in the development section.

Spot on! I'm posting your link, everywhere I had gone for help. I didn't get the help I needed, but I did get a lot of views. I know I'm not alone. This may help eliminate others from posting for assistance of this kind, in this forum. Thank you for your generosity of spirit!
To the XDA mall cops, relax your nerve. Move on there's nothing happening here.
Say??
How's your Christmas?
Oops, got nothing to do with development.
As far as I'm concerned, this thread is closed. Cheers!

Actually, you'll probably encourage more people to ask the wrong questions in the wrong place without looking for answers first. The answers you seek were already all over this nexus forum, had you looked and read everything you were told to read, you would have found it.
And had you posted in the section FOR questions & answers, you would have gotten an answer much faster, and with far less hate.

Where is my OTA update?!

So who out there knows any details about the update Verizon pushed for gnex. I can't root I have no computer and I'm getting so impatient with my buggy phone. Seems everything is getting worse with time. Anyone have any info??

Well, logic would dictate if the other ota threads didn't have an answer, that your thread will not...you know...get an answer.
Any available information on the update should be available by searching the forum. If, however, you're still unable to find anything, please post in one of the already established threads or post your question in the Question & Answer section.

Odin a CWM 5.0.2.7
Then get a Superuser package (androidsu.com)
Flash that in CWM
As simple as simple can be. Detailed operation and links could.be searched if you seek harder. Good luck

I went looking for it yesterday as well and found it last night on his main site http://droid-hive.com/ but just now I wasn't able to find it, not sure.??
EDIT: Well just found the answer here
He moved to a G+ community here https://plus.google.com/communities/101861809108004114558
DT and the XDA mods had a disagreement over something a few days back that resulted in the thread getting closed. Not sure what the specifics are. Just for future reference, this should have been posted over in Q&A. The development section is just for ROMs and kernels.

Axiom can not be found because rules were broken and action taken against those that broke them. Inappropriate things were posted.
That's all I'll say, but hopefully it gives you an idea

Hi !
This website has tons and tons of guides on how to build ROMs and kernels for devices.
You can try to use this thread to look for various types of guides , from theming to using the repo tool.. it has a link to a guide for almost everything : Guide Ride by NickHalden
Alternatively you could try learning about android development from the xda-university ... which also contains various guides about ROM , kernel compilation and their development.
Also you can Search for whatever guide you need.
Next time around whenever you are asking a question related to android please try to post in the Q and A section cause it may attract more answers to your question than this forum which is for topics related to the xda-developers' site as a whole which includes development for a huge variety of devices.
