a lot of XDA links are down so i suggest using the stuff on theunlockr.com it's pretty direct
dl kies or drivers (personally i just dl drivers)
run odin and flash CWM
you can then flash a rom to get root or flash superuser to get root.

I did the 'unlockr' method but it took me like 6 tries to get su installed through CWM.
Keep trying if it fails. It will eventually work.
It isn't too much different from the other methods floating around the forums. Links work which is always a plus as someone else has mentioned.

No it looks like he loaded an old sgs4g file on his microsd or something because he use to own one..
anyways.. it looks like your phone is just doing a bootloop. if you have a backup just nandroid restore.
Not sure what this sgs4g file is? is it a ROM/Kernel? or some backup data?
if you flashed a ROM/Kernel.. and you're only getting boot loops you're fking lucky. Flash a t989 ROM/kernel and it should fix it
if you just restored some data. just wipe your data and caches/dalvik cache

Easiest method, which I just used myself today, is the ZergRush Exploit.
You won't be able to install custom ROM's because this method does not install a new Kernel with Recovery. But it is the easiest method I have found and gives you ROOT if that is all you are looking for. It can be found through the stickies, but here is the link.

From 1st hand experience on a T-MO GS2 (and also what others have posted), the ZergRush has fewer successes on the T-Mo units. I tried ran it last night on a new phone and didn't do anything. I ended up using one of the other rooting methods. Not sure if it's hit or miss, or what the issue may be.

This method doesn't work for rooting the new 2.3.6 any more. Apparently they fixed the ZergRush exploit. I have the T989D Telus version of the phone. I believe it was running 2.3.5 and it work beautifully.

[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
cheers

There doesnt really seem to be a straight answer as to whether the instructions on this website: http://galaxys3root.com/galaxy-s3-r...gh-t999sgh-i747sph-l710-fail-proofnoob-proof/ are still valid for Jelly Bean, so I'm going to hold off with trying.

Please read the post above yours and follow the link. Read the entire posting by OP. It makes it very clear that the answer is yes you can root it and tells you how to do so. Just in case you missed the link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1739426 .
Lastly, after reading the forum at the link provided, if you do not understand what the OP is talking about, then you should not be attempting to root your phone. If you miss an important step because you did not understand it you could end up with an expensive paperweight.

Yea I see that, but with that method I'm re-flashing the ROM. With the other method I posted I'm only installing recovery and Root. I know I've read somewhere that with the method you mentioned no apps or data will be wiped, can you confirm this?

Yep

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.

Ok, so I tried the Team Epic way at first, however it appeared to be a no-go. After flashing recovery through Odin, removing the battery, the phone would not enter recovery.
Then I tried the HOWTO on this forum and it worked, no data lost.
Only downside is that my first attempt tripped the flash counter, but I'm really not worried about it. Now to remove the rogers bloat ware...

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.

does anyone know if I can root a Rogers GS3 running stock Jelly Bean on a Mac? I haven't been able to find any info about that online.

Hi everybody. I have a question. so I want to install LORJAY589's update rom. and as he has been very adamant about following his instructions down to the letter. I am having a problem. he said he installed CWM through the galaxy note 2 toolkit. so that's what I wanted to do. but when I went to the thread he mentioned in note 2 original development section. i found that the link is no longer up. I saw other posters on his thread mention work around's to this problem. but again further back in his post. he said do not use other peoples work around's. he said to follow his and only his instructions to get it to work. so my question is does anyone know where I can find the galaxy note 2 toolkit he used. untill I find it I will be unable to install his update rom. thanks in advance for any help on this problem

How To Root S3 After Updating NJ2/NJ3

After Updating to the newly updated firmware for both Sprint and the Boostmobile/VM variant, I am very sure a lot like me are facing difficulty with any workable method of rooting these new firmware. I spent up to three days searching OPs and cant actually find any guaranteed solution. So I am hoping this thread would help us find all the answers we need at one place. Those who have successfully rooted NJ2/NJ3 should share their method with us.

I saw the guide. Towelroot no longer works , as we all know.
I happen to use Linux as an OS, and the Odin alternatives didn't work for me (it's been a while so my memory of it was a little fuzzy) I didn't just give up after the first try or anything, I've asked question about it before.
I'm wondering if there could be an alternative to Towelroot at this time. Ideally I'd rather not have to rely on some program on my PC. I'm not afraid of the terminal, either.

Yes I also faced several failures before I managed to get my phone rooted. I used chainfire's autoroot for sph710 and it worked so you might want to give it a try

One is a Flashable Zip...not sure if I have used it, but it should work and the other you must unzip and flash using Odin...I know that one works.

I used Chainfire's CF-root method but I also did not care about tripping the flash counter because this is a used phone from eBay and I have no warranty to worry about.

Well I just didn't care about warranty. Anyway it worked for me but I've Knox tripped
