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're doing something wrong. I don't know exactly what, but this is a very simple process. Is the phone even in dl mode, or what?

Download mode is usually when you hold the volume + and - button right? Then you press + to continue and you'll reach to the page where the android dude is at.

Let me see if I can help!
After you put your phone into download mode and then plug it into the pc is Odin already running?
And once its plugged in do you at least see it in COMM?
Also are you flashing the recovery first or are you trying to install the root through odin?
Have you already got cwm recovery on the phone?

I've tried it on my Mac with heimdall didn't work. My kies on my Mac will read the phone and let it connect but aft won't read. But heimdall does detect a device. It fails when it comes to debugging. Idk what to do. I want to root!!! Please help me!

I believe kies is to be uninstalled before using ODIN.

That's not correct. I use Odin everyday and certainly do not uninstall Kies first. OP, have you tried different ports on your pc? Try them all. Another thing I read, if you are on a 64 bit machine, try creating a 32 bit virtual and doing it from there(last resort). Try doing it from a Windows XP computer(if not already). And try to flash back completely to stock, unrooted, and start again. See if any of those help.

Are you trying to root in download mode or with the phone turned on?
Sent from my SPH-L710 using Tapatalk 4

root
It is in download mode. I heard people had this problem before but found no real answer.

Your are using the *.tar? Or you unzipped it?
Also try reinstalling drivers. Connect it turned on, let the PC recognize it. Then do do the same in download mode. Then disconnect the phone, open Odin an try again.

[Q&A] How do I root sgh i747m without computer?

My Rogers galaxy s3 does not connect to my computer. It was rooted when I got the phone and I was only able to connect it to a pc once when I unrooted it. I forget how I managed to do this. Now I'm wanting to root my phone again but since I can't connect it to my pc I'm not sure what to do. I've tried using many different versions of framaroot and I've tried using poot but nothing seems to work

What happens when you connect your phone to the computer? Is it recognized at all by the computer but doesn't fully install or it is not recognized at all? If it is recognized but does not work, you may try installing the drivers on your PC. Installing Samsung Kies would be one way of doing this as Kies has all the drivers you need. Also check the USB cable you are using to be sure it's of good quality. I'd be hard pressed to understand how rooting or unrooting alone could affect recognition by your computer. To return your phone to stock-no-root, however, you'd need to download and flash the stock ROM, bootloader, modem and kernel zips via custom recovery (e.g. TWRP, CWM). You may search the threads for specific instructions on how to do this with the Canadian models.

It isn't recognized at all. I've tried multiple chords and different sub ports. It's unrooted right now, I want to root it.

Also check your phone's settings under Development mode to be sure USB debugging is enabled. If your aim is to root, you could, in principle, use another device like another phone, camera or micro SD adaptor, to copy the rooting files (Super SU zip) to an SD card and bring this to your phone. However, unless you already have custom recovery installed, you'll need to flash this via Odin which requires a computer. I

I had usb debugging on. This is really starting to seem hopeless.
