That way you don't have to use triangle away.

It's not really a custom ROM. It's the stock firmware that's had the root files injected. The 500+ MB is just indicative of how much storage is needed for the stock firmware on the GS3. I know it's quite a hefty download but it really is the easiest way to get root. Simply flash in ODIN and your done

also if your flashing through Odin(and this process is through Odin), that going to be on your computer, not your phone, so you should probably just down load to comp and not through the phone.

hey guys... is it possible to just root my galaxy s3 thru any process.. then use an app called, 'Trangle Away' to reset the counter?

To answer your question, yes. But don't use Triangle Away unless you need it (ie. warranty replacement, etc.)

Flashcounter can be reverted to zero using Triangle Away.
Install this file using Odin. Make sure you set this in Odin as a PDA. It will not trip the flash counter. It needs to be unzipped fist, then flash the .zip inside.

i appreciate the suggestion but i'm not going to download 500MB to my computer or phone when i can use a small file to root my phone. then use triangle away to reset the counter to zero.
Did you have issues following the instructions I provided? I told you to ask if you had any questions.
The only thing that trips the flash counter (NOT A BIG DEAL) is flashing through Odin (stock roms do not trip counter). Forget the counter is there, and have some fun with your phone.

[q] can i root on the new jellybean 4.1.1?

Well not "new" but you know. I just recently got my galaxy s3 (love it) and rooted it when i was on ice cream sandwhich. than i found out my carrier rolled out 4.1 (at&t) so updated my phone but then lost my root. Im coming from iphones where with jailbreaks there was a different procedure for each ios. Is it the same for androids?
P.s might've done this in the wrong thread i apologize but i literally just made this account right now to figure this one thing out. I want to go back to custom roms

Yes I can. I rooted using that method and all of my apps and data was intact...with SuperSU added so I can utilize apps that require root. I lost no data whatsoever.
I did not install a recovery though because I am wanting to run the rooted stock ROM for the moment and just did not want to bother with recovery at the moment since it is an extra step (just being lazy). Eventually I will get around to installing a recovery and CM since it has always been a favorite of mine.

No problem. Good luck and fun rooting and flashing.
But see, now this http://www.epiccm.org/2012/06/cwm-recovery-on-all-sgs3-lte-variants.html site says to install recovery, then run the root.zip inside of recovery to root.
This is conflicting information, as the how to here at xda says to flash the whole ROM again.

This is one way of rooting. The object behind the original link to XDA was to not flash the trip counter. I only mention XDA because I know this allows you to root JellyBean. Follow the xda verbatim step by step as it has been proven to work for JellyBean. Note that the posting on XDA does not say follow the instructions on the site linked in the quotes, but rather to download and extract the file referenced in question. Then you continue with the procedure as posted on the forum in XDA. Please note the remarks regarding a recovery and JellyBean and the counter being tripped.
There is not always one way to root. Take note that the above link for downloading the file for recovery is older than what has been done on the XDA site. Newer information typically is the safer way to go.

Glad it worked. The information here on XDA is much more current than the site you were refering to anyway so your chance of success should lean more toward the updated information.

Another I think I'm bricked thread

I have looked through some of the threads on bricked phones and none have seemed to help. Right now all that shows up is Samsung. I found a video that said to get a file from samsung-update so I did. I used Odin to flash that and everything seems fine. This all started after I decided to try and go back to stock from liquid smooth. I just wasn't a fan of it and wanted to try tomorrow for a touchwiz rom. When I tried to flash back it didn't work so I thought if I used the tool kit to unroot it would put the original stock back. All it did was unroot. Any help? When I check my flash count it is around 4. If they check that at Sprint will I be able to have my phone fixed or will I just be SOL?
Hello shazo85,
If you can get to download mode (which it sounds like you can, seeing your flash counter), you can flash a stock ROM via Odin.
Try this thread and here download the package for your device.

Its shows if you have flashed a custom rom and another way for carriers to know if you have rooted your phone. So every time you flash a custom rom rom your phone counts it. But you can always reset the flash counter with triangle away.

Ok, look for the "ODIN 1-clicks" thread, it takes you back to stock, stock recovery, and resets your flash counter in one
As for good touchwiz roms, I would recommend either MOAR (Mother of All ROMS) or TPR (the peoples rom)
You can find both in the "Android development" subforum"

You also have to wipe before switching back to a touchwiz rom like stock, my zip above is a fix for all that

Thanks, I will give that a shot. The link was posted above by someone. I didn't know that was the same one you were talking about. Seems like it isn't as easy to root, flash and even to unroot the S3 as it was the EVO 4G. I only had issues with some roms on that.
This is a samsung. Its easier than any HTC to unroot and go back to stock. Your just not used to it yet

Agreed. Samsung bootloader is unlocked by default. That means rooting is as simple as an Odin flash of a recovery. With HTC (locked bootloader), you had to use a program such as unrevoked to gain access to it. And each and every update HTC tried to re-lock the bootloader, so it was difficult to know if you should update (this is one reason why we get so many threads on here that say "how do I root with MB1?!?!?!").
As far as I'm aware, rooting with GS3 has been accomplished using the same method for quite a while.
Now, rooting using the Odin method is a bit more involved than it was with unrevoked, but really the only steps are clicking through a couple of files. The steps are stated clearly. It's just new and feels different. I was really wary of using Odin (still am, if I can be honest), but I was much more uncomfortable with unrevoked.
Samsungs seem harder because everybody and their mother has a tutorial on how to root it and nobody uses the most quick, clear cut 30-sec root possible, CF AUTO ROOT is easy and quick as hell, yet people treat it like the redheaded step child and ignore its presence. I dont get why
*Not lying when i say 30-sec either.
FInd me an easier method than that

More information on CF Auto-Root:
Website (look up d2spr in the big table).
XDA Thread. Has instructions and further clarifications.
I had honestly never heard of it before, but it seems like a good (and quick) option for getting root from stock.
Could be that I'm just not used to it. I only ever had to root the EVO if I was coming back from Sprint. If I remember right the unroot was just load up 2 zip files. Nice that this is just one to unroot. I will have to look into that CF Auto Root.
I too was one of those people looking for how to root MBI. I didn't know it was all the same. Chances are I would have never donated to the toolkit if I would have known. I also would have never used the toolkit. It would be nice if we had just one thread on rooting instead of 3 or 4 that we have. Might be less confusing that way.
EDIT: Forgot to say that the zip file for the unroot and counter reset did work. I had my phone back up and working just as I clocked in for work. All night I have had apps downloading.

can you root sprint s6? is there any custom ROMs out?

I wanted to know if anyone has rooted a sprint s6 yet also what about custom roms? I need hotspot mod etc for my phone. Thank you for your help!!

You can root it using the T-Mobile S6 chainfire auto-root tar that you flash in ODIN, but I wouldn't recommend it right now, there's pretty bad battery drain after rooting because it's not the right recovery for our device.
I don't mind a battery drain. Its that I have a note 2 and am gonna upgrade to a new phone because I am selling my phone. I use my phone for my internet for computer and watching TV at home so if I don't get it rooted or custom ROM with WiFi thether or mobile hotspot I am gonna be internetless and forget that. I am sure someone will make a custom ROM I just need to find out where to get tar files for root and tar files to unroot aoni can get them and root phone and when they figure out phone better and ROMs etc I will switch it. Can you provide me with info links etc please? Thank you soo much for your reply

Also TWRP for the T-Mobile S6 might work as well, I assume you can flash it just fine, I haven't tried though

No root needed.

You can root it using the T-Mobile S6 chainfire auto-root tar that you flash in ODIN, but I wouldn't recommend it right now, there's pretty bad battery drain after rooting because it's not the right recovery for our device.

All it flashes is a recovery and cache file and supersu apk and binaries then goes back to stock recovery. Battery has nothing to do with it..

deep sleep fix
Does this mean it's "safe" to root using the T-Mobile Chainfire method. Is the No-sleep issue the only one?

That may be true but I find it curious that there is only one post in the Development section and no custom ROMS. Frankly I can wait until Chainfire or whomever makes a good root and unlock. Call me cautious.

Fair enough, i waited to hear some feedback before trying. But everything works i promise :good: can at least remove everything not wanted, in the mean time while dev is making its way.
Hoping to put up a deodexed rooted base this weekend.
I got the hotspot / tethering working perfectly without rooting. Besides since there is no root available I read it will permanently disable Samsung Pay

i tried this method and it didn't work
update
heres a update i used pingpong root to root phone so it is rooting and very easy to do if anyone wants to root easy. so now that is is rooted i would like to not have to pay every month for the hotspot so i would need a way of tricking sprint that i am not using the hotspot when i am so that it seems like i am serving the internet etc!!!

Just want phone rooted without flashing anything!!!

The main reason i bought my s6 was because i love having a rooted android phone and i wanted a namebrand i could trust with that. Ive tried kingroot, pingpong root, and every other one out there and still nothing and i know alot of this has to do with knox security. I wanna do it one time and never have to worry again. Can someone plz guide me in the right direction..i wanna finally be able to take control of my phone..plz help!!!!

What do you mean you've "tried kingroot, pingpong root, and every other one out there and still nothing"? So you have tried them all and were unsuccessful? Which S6? Which firmware are you running? What happens when it fails? Which recovery? You're not going to find anything that will crack the firmware without flashing something through Odin or recovery dude.
You will need to learn how to use Odin. Here is a tutorial on how to do that: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tv0BnfpNxEs
Download and, using Odin, flash the TAR file from here: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=44922
Your phone will reboot and you will have root.
You can also install TWRP through Odin.
You need to use Odin for this. If that is too complicated for you, then you are out of luck.
I'm on the newest stock firmware, OL1. Will this method work on my device?

Yes. I just updated to OL1 myself, flashed the kernel and then TWRP and I am rooted with custom recovery.
Happy holidays!
Thanks for the speedy reply. Can confirm this worked on my device. Happy Holidays indeed!

Until someone creates a prerooted kernel with systemless SuperSU or prerooted tar file, everything with trip knox. If you flash ANYTHING "Non Samsung", it will trip Knox!
Damn i want to root but dont want to lose any functions

Hopefully that wont trip knox, they had a app that would reset it on the s3, wish someone could do that with the s6

After this phone, I really don't think I'm ever getting another Samsung...
There is absolutely no app that will reset Knox on any Samsung phone S4 and after. Triangle away never reset Knox, it reset the flash counter on older boot loaders. Once Knox has been tripped there is no way to reset it without replacing your motherboard.
