Is there a way to root without using a computer? Like could I just rename the root 666 as update.zip and flash that in recovery?

No.
No... besides how could you flash anything in recovery when you need to push a custom recovery.img via pc? can't do that on a phone when you need root in order to flash a recovery from your phone. Only way to root without a pc is if there is a root exploit, like the Note 2 has, but the S3 doesn't have one as far as I'm aware.

No necessarily because you do have a stock recovery that allows you to flash a zip via update.zip

Is it possible to root without a pc yes, but I have no clue how it would be done and frankly I wouldn't want to do it. There were one click root apps available for certain phones at different points on the market but have no clue if there are any for the S3. I never used those though because at that point your completely dependent only on your phone with no access to your pc if you soft brick. If your going to use your pc in case you do soft brick then you might as well just use it to root also.

NO you cannot root without a computer.
But you can use Mobile Odin Lite and Odin flash the stock pre-rooted Tmobile T999 Jellybean v4.1.1
firmware using only your phone, here is the link for the firmware:http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=9390169635556426451
Here is the download link for Mobile Odin Lite: http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=1754368&d=1361632564
The mobile odin lite does the same thing as the Windows Odin does only it's easier and does not need a computer.
It's very easy to use, almost self explanatory and it installs like any other APK.
Good Luck!

Doesn't mobile Odin need root access to work?
OP, I'm not aware of any method of gaining root access on this phone without a computer.
I think we need more opinions on this matter.

Yeah, the reason i asked is because i have a Linux computer. Heimdall is all installed but it isn't working. Keeps giving me the same thing and its pissing me off. My first phone got dropped and got the inked all over the screen. Now i have a new one but no pc nearby to use to root it and it blows very very much. =(. Just want my root back.

I think you can not root without a computer (because of all the ODIN stuff), but I guess ROMs can be installed using ROM manager. But using clockworkmod recovery seems easier.
You can't root without PC. Odin is the only way, my adhd girl can do this!

Rooting without a computer is the DUMBEST idea in the entire world. IF you screw up your phone, like most n00bs these days do, you will have NO WAY to recover your device without sending it in... not to mention no way to read XDA to discover what went wrong.

You need a computer in order to install cwm so you can flash the superuser zip

No need to install CWM from PC.
For this method you have to download 2 files (CWM.zip & SU-Busybox-Installer.zip) to you phone and you are ready to go.

This is to give root access, but to gain the abilty to flash SU to gain root access, you need ODIN and a PC. On the T989, it the only way to flash CWM. To summarize, SU is the saddle, but whats really important is the horse, CWM

Yeah thats right, even you can get a horse without PC. There is app called mobile odin which makes this possible. You can flash firmware with cwm using that, mobile odin requires rooted phone, which we did using prev posts.
I have su access with cwm installed on my phone without imcrease in flash counter and yellow exclaimation at boot.
I am planning to install good rom on this. Once I do it successfully I will try to put small tut on it.

Isn't half the point of the ROM Manager app to install a custom recovery? If you have root access, you can flash CWM through it. It's literally the first action listed when you open it.

You could try to mobile Odin clockwork mod then flash the root .zip file.. I just borrowed a friends pc to root.. in theory you are good to go after that..

you could also have used a virtual machine or bootcamp or whatever else. as for OP, no at this point there is no way to root without a PC. Just find a friend that has one, or an internet cafe or something.

Just did it following zedomax tutorial and it was really fast..I didn't know Samsung phones were so easy to root. I'm used to locked bootloaders, struggling to get S-off and what not lol
I attempted to root my Galaxy S4 (T-Mobile) with ODIN using OUDHS custom recovery. ODIN says it passed and I used the flash the root file from the external sd card, but it still hasn't been rooted yet. (What I followed so you know what file I am talking about: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2268880)
Since it didn't work, can I just retry ODIN (possibly use CWM this time) again or will I brick the phone because right now it still works, but I am afraid that it brick if I try to go back to Square One.
I am a novice at Rooting and Android, so please forgive me if my question seems rather annoying or needy.
I can't think of a reason why you can't try again.
Also, you might want to try another recovery. I did my phone yesterday with clockwork touch.

whats the diffence between the touch and the normal one? (or is it just if your phone has touchscreen)
And do you mean recovery as restore? (using a backup in Kies)

Since you only need it to flash Recovery, it may work during Reboot. Try CF Auto Root otherwise.

You can root and flash custom recovery using Mobile Odin which is available at the Playstore.
Here is the playstore link for Mobile Odin: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=eu.chainfire.mobileodin.pro
(no need for any computer)
Good luck!

I lost root after the update. I am completely stock so mobile odin doesn't work... any other suggestions?

If you can go into download mode then you can
use cf-autoroot to re-root the phone.
Be sure to use the correct version of cf-autoroot for your
phone's model.
Here is the direct download link for cf-autoroot for the N900T Tmobile Note 3:
http://download.chainfire.eu/354/CF-Root1/CF-Auto-Root-hltetmo-hltetmo-smn900t.zip?retrieve_file=1
After rooting use "TWRP Coordinator" from the playstore to install TWRP
custom recovery.
Good luck!
I appreciate the help, but download mode would be in correlation with using a computer, correct? I don't have a computer...
