Have you read any of the threads relevant to this topic either here in Q&A or General? If there aren't threads about this, browse some of the rooting threads. I don't know for 100% certain, but I think it's possible. To narrow it down: type "ota root" in the search box in Q&A. Plenty of topics to get started.

Hey guys I need some help. I have a rooted tmobile galaxy s2 and I got a notice on my phone this morning that there is a software update. I dont want to lose my root so i decided not to update it. But now there is a update notification that I cant seem to get rid of. What can I do. and if I do update it will I loose my root.

I was going to say searching before asking is always helpful lolol
I read the how to root thread in this formum to grab the files I need to root the ATT GS3.
I have rooted plenty of phones and familiar with the process.
The image file that the thread lists for ATT GS3 is ATT Stock Download I747UCALG1.
The detail in the phone settings show that the build on my phone is I747UCLEM.
Is this file going to brick my phone, or is there something else I should be downloading or another method to root I can use?
Thanks

Hello, I am looking at getting a Bell Galaxy S3 tomorrow and am reading about a flash counter? I tried searching but couldn't find any real explanations as to why it's an issue. Just for warranty purposes/ I'm getting it used. Should I worry about it at all?
Its just a counter that tells how many times unsigned firmware has been flashed to the phone. Its not an issue except for warranty, even then its not an issue because you can reset it with triangle away for the play store.

Does the Triangle Away app work on both the i9300 and i747m variants?

Hey everyone,
I have rooted my GS3 prior to US Cellular's update to android 4.1.2, but after the update, every rooting method I have tried has failed. I almost bricked my phone the other day attempting to use a toolkit.... It tripped teh flash counter apparently and my device status was "Modified" instead of normal. I downloaded the Samsung update tool for the USCC GS3, and did a manual update after i discovered that my prior rooting attempt tripped the flash counter, disabled my Wifi, and caused me to be unable to download an OTA update.
The question is this...... what rooting method shoudl I be using for the USCC Galaxy S3, running 4.1.2? I'd love to be able to block ads again....... and I'd like to stay with the base OS if possible (not flashing it atm)'
Thanks in advance!

Using that method should would, oldest method and always proves true. Like always, you're responsible for everything.
Tripping the flash counter doesn't matter... I have never had USC reject warranty service, and I don't use any counter reset tools.
Unfortunately, XDA isn't the best place to find support for USC phones... Do a Google search for TeamUSCellular and go there for detailed step by step guides.
Then, look carefully at some of the ROMs here on XDA... Several of the ones that use Aroma support multiple carriers.

Root build 4.1.2?
Newb here,
Has anyone had any success in rooting the US Cellular SCH-R530 with build 4.1.2? I donated to the Samsung Galaxy S3 Toolkit cause but after an auto update the most recent build listed for US Cellular is still 4.1.1.
Thanks!

Did you not ready the post right above yours? Giving you exact detail of where to look!
What a wonderful experience on this forum so far...

No I didn't 'ready' it but I did read it and that post was from a week ago. So I am following up as a lot can happen in 1 week. Either way, TeamUSCellular does not have anything on it at all. But thanks for all your help. I am now regretting the fact that I donated to the development of the toolkit. I guess if this isn't a good place to find help on US Cellular phones then there shouldn't be any US Cellular phones in the toolkit, but yet there is....hmmmm.

Ops I had a type O oh well (I need to slowdown sometimes LOL). Try to PM the dev of the toolkit he might be able to help you out.

I think you need to look a little closer.
Go to Forum, go to the SG3 Development forum, go to SG3 Guides & Tutorials, then the 5th topic down is what you want (How To Root Jelly Bean LK5 & MB1).
It takes you step by step and even provides links to the files you need.
I just used this last week on a friend phone and it worked fine.

If, while in the Original Android Development section (where this thread was originally posted) you would have simply looked at the titles of the what... 30 threads here, you would have seen "[SGH-M919] CF-Auto-Root [ 1 2 3 ... Last ]" and been like "Because this thread has 'root' in the title, perhaps it pertains to rooting the SGH-M919."
To answer the question, yes, you can root your phone. Check that thread I so sarcastically mentioned.
"outdated stuff floating around"
pertains to the thread mentioned. That is almost a dead thread for the past 2 months so why would i post in there?

You can. I have a Galaxy S4 that is running the same build and kernel version as yours. I rooted with CF-Auto-Root: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2294005. Be warned, though! Rooting via CF-Auto-Root will trip the Knox Warranty Void counter. As of now, the counter cannot be reset. If you want to keep warranty, then root using SafeRoot: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2565758. I have used both methods before and they work just fine.
