How to root 4.1.2? I was rooted for long time 4.1.1 and it was easy to find how to root it, but now I cannot find.
Is it the same with Odin and to use the 4.1.1 file?
CASUAL worked great....
You want untouched stock 4.12 and rooted? Check this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2388065
Or you can just go flash one of the custom ROM 4.12 in the development forum.
I am getting error when I try to root it with CASUAL.
Yes, I am trying to flash custom ROM
CF AutoRoot will root it
Dl goo manager or Rom manager from market
Install custom recovery from dl'd app
Flash away
CF autoroot is how I did mine as well. Needs to be flashed with Odin (or mobile Odin I assume)

Rooting over a previous root
Hello, I am using the Canadian Samsung GS3 I747M
I understand that it is the same as the At&t version so I used Odin and rooted it last night with clockworkmod. Not sure why but my phone says the root is using about 4gb of space.
I tried flashing CM10.1.2 on my phone (the At&t version of the .zip) but it failed continuously.
I assumed it was because I was out of space on the phone due to clockworkmod recovery.
As I do more research, I am under the impression I may have rooted wrong, I have superuser and root apps work (like rom manager etc) but
I noticed as I tried to flash CM10.1.2, the phone kept writing "missing md5 file" or a variation of that statement.
I saw the xda video on how to root and I was thinking I would redo it and follow that more closely but I am not sure if I can root over top of the current root I have on the phone (is that possible). Or if that is necessary at all. And how I am going to free up the space on my internal storage.
I am purchasing a large micro sd and hoping to put all these rom and root files on that so I don't use up all my internal space. I am unsure how to move clockworkmod recovery to the SD aswell
I apologize in advance if this is posted in the wrong spot.
I'd appreciate any help at all.
Thanks
My advice is when you get your SD card, get the rom on it, "backup on external sdcard" there is option in cwm like this and format the phone. About the missing md5 check the file, it may be corrupted.

I'm sure this has been brought up before but with 20 something internet tabs and countless youtube videos I definitely get the jist of what needs to be done in order to root the phone as I've done it a few years ago with another phone. The problem i'm having is I think I'm making this more complicated than it is. First off, I cannot find a NON rooted stock Bell rom for galaxy S III SGH-I747M all I can find are rooted ones. I'm trying to root my phone yes but what if I wanna revert back to stock with no root? I haven't found one yet. Secondly all the different roms I been finding are 555mb to 725mb in size, I just want to root my phone I don't recall half gig sized files just to do that. So then I downloaded a stock rom apperantly named stock root66_tar it's 1.5 GB!! it doesn't have anything else with it. I feel like an idiot because there's so many files and OTA and LH1 and stock rom, kernel, ect I know they all mean something I guess I'm just overwhealmed with so much info, I just want to root my Galaxy S III SGH-I747M from Bell and then if and when I choose I want to be able to unroot it and have a copy of a stock untouched unrooted rom, and then I still don't know if I need to have a stock rom to unroot.
I'm currently on this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1739426
seems straight forward as I just want a stock rom with root access no fancy CWM or rom flashing and I'm downloading the Bell rom which it says its stock just root injected...im guessing that means it's rooted but again if I need warranty repairs or need kies to update my phone when jelly bean comes out I will need to unroot the phone so kies recognizes my phone and allows me to update to 4.1 hope someone can send me in the right direction from the thread im in and can let me know about unrooting and wether or not if a rooted phone can be recognized by kies to update to jelly bean next month when it comes out as I dont wanna be stuck not able to update all because I rooted my phone and don't know how to fully reverse the process. Thank you
1st download odin from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=1165122&d=1340993443
2nd download this http://www.blownco.com/smartguy/CWM-Recovery-LTE-SGS3-v5.tar.tar
3rd download this http://www.blownco.com/smartguy/Superuser-3.1.3-arm-signed.zip
ok so the 1st download is odin what you need to do is open that and put the 2nd download (which is clockwordmod recovery) into the pda part of odin and hit start...when its done phone will reboot. after phone is reboot you need to put the 3rd download onto your sdcard and then reboot back into recovery and flash that zip and that will put superuser on your phone which will give you root.

Thanks for the info I'm just about to read it now. seems so far from what else I been researching about that thread I linked is that a stock rom that is root injected not trippin the timer thingy means I can just unroot it by simply doing a factory reset unless I read that wrong. Since im just going for root on a stock rom with no recovery as im told I dont need it if I don't plan on flashin different roms, but I see you mention downloading it so I take it I should ? even though I don't plan on flashing other roms? I just downloaded your 3 files you linked and it was interesting that it was all about 7MB where as the other thread the file was over 600 MB lol and both are to root as well.
Yea its just good to have just incase you do decide to flash a custom rom like the team insomnia roms but there is no need to worry about flash counter since there ia an app to reset it for you

ah I see now I have another dumb question before I go to bed, what is the difference between rooting my phone using the files you supplied which is like 1 mb for the super user which gives root access as you say and flashing it using the stock rom that's 600 MB with root injection?
what are the differences between them both? would seem impractical to download a 600mb file if a 1mb file does the same thing unless I'm blind and too tired as Ive been up over 30 hours. Thanks for the replies and I will be back tomorrow to check on this thread for any additional info anyone writes.
Well the way i suggest just leaves you with the stock eom you are currently using and the whole process will prob be completed by the time you download half of the stock rooted rom......both ways work but the way i mention is just the one i use

If you already have a "recovery" image installed, then you don't need to worry about rooting the phone. Just flash a root injected ROM as you mentioned.
But if you don't already have a recovery image (like TWRP or Clockwork Mod) then it's easier/quicker to flash a recovery if your phone is already rooted.
Thanks for the replies, I will experiment with both methods but before I hit the button once and for all I will try to find out in the meantime what I need to unroot it with a stock rom which I did download but it says root injected which I'm guessing is just that it's a rooted stock rom so then technically it's not stock if it's root injected? and I'm trying to figure out if I do a factory reset from the root injected rom if it brings it back like it was from the factory.
PS: after more reading I found out you need a non root injected stock rom to go back to 100% factory, for the life of me I cannot find a stock rom that is NON root injected for when I want to unroot and flash back to factory for Bell Galaxy S III SGH-I747M.
Hi,
I recently bought the Samsung Galaxy S3 on T-Mobile, to replace my Motorola Droid X on Verizon. Love the new phone, but miss my root capabilities - aka there's a bunch of bloat. There's an OTA not being forced for 4.1.1, but when I tried to root that, I soft bricked and got stuck in a boot loop at the pulsing Samsung. I grabbed ODIN and was able to push the stock 4.0.4 back into it and get it working again, baseband T999UVLH2, Kernel 3.0.8-925100, build IMM76D.T999UVALH2. Is there a way to root this phone, or a stock rooted ROM I could push up with ODIN?
I'm not looking to load custom ROM's, just have some of the abilities I had on my DX when it was rooted and get rid of some of the stock crap that I don't need.
I originally tried to do this with Samsung Galaxy S3 Toolkit v6.0, and soft bricked the phone. I followed the directions online, and did it as instructed, but yeah. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
All you need to root is the touch 6.0 clockwork mod recovery tar file which is available on xda as zip file and the odin version 3+ and follow instructions thats all thats needed to root, make sure you also put the superuser app inside the root of your sd card meaning connect your galaxy s3 to computer then open the root sd card and put it inside there, i believe there is a clockwordmod touch that already comes with superuser so you may not have to worry about putting superuser in root. here i'll grab links for you now. u dont checkmark anything on odin except select pda and browse for the tar file. Here is guide for your device with download links.
The clockworkmod touch recovery version is by far best and always works well with almost all roms.
I would also recomend you use liquidsmooth rom or if you want to test out the new android 4.2 cm but camera doesn't work on 4.2 cm10.1 now however it's a very nice custom rom
Btw, make sure you flash the superuser.zip file that you placed in your sd card while you are in clockwork mod recovery otherwise you wont comlete the root. to get into cwm you gotta hold volume up home button and power button at same time.

Thanks to both of you, I'm rooted, exactly the way I wanted to be. I couldn't get CWM to flash in stock recovery, nor could I get Root66 to flash in recovery, so I just pushed it with Odin. All I need to do now is get CWM Touch on it, and I'll be set. I'm reinstalling my root apps as we speak.
Thanks again!
Odin cf auto root is the quickest and simplest.

Flash cwm via Odin uncheck auto reboot. Then go straight to recovery then reboot. I'd wipe cache and dalvik while in there though.

[RECOVERY]TWRP 2.3.1.0 touch recovery [2012-10-15]
I really need help my phone is an SGH I747M and it's rooted. But I want to unroot it without installing the stock firmware. I already have jelly bean telus,and I don't want to do a recovery with Kies. And I can't do a backup because I only have 2 gb on my Ex sd card and internal sd card. Also what would happen if I just un installed the superuser app?

Do not open multiple threads, refer to this one to continue the conversation.
Okay, I know I am probably asking a dumb question, my S3 from Sprint has 4.1.1 and I rooted the clockworkmod way that it showed on this link
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1743780 and in the video. Basically I used Odin and then used the clockworkmod file. I am not sure but from what I read this is a clockworkmod recovery? But all I did was a basic root and everything looks as always (same as sprint no custom rom etc) I just wanted to root for the tethering. Now I just received an update and it keeps popping up as a system update (I am not sure if its to 4.1.2 or 4.2 but, If I run it, will it crash my phone, do I need to temp unroot? or unroot and then update? Is there a step by step on how to update to to the latest without brick after or is it safe to just upgrade... If anyone has any links on this forum that answers this?
(used Odin and clockwork mod to root...just to use free tethering.)

(Note - I'm unrooted and on stock MC2)
I'm going crazy at this point... I figured I'd just wait for my phone to get the OTA but it's already been 11 days, no OTA.
So then, fine, I figured I might as well use Kies to do the trick - no dice, I get the following message: "Your device's current firmware version is not supported to update firmware via kies."
Whatever, I just hit up trusty old XDA to find the update.zip file that I can apply easily from stock recovery. I found the file here. After realizing I needed an SD card for some reason (since stock recovery doesn't have the option to apply update.zip from internal storage) I finally did it... Until it encountered an error and terminated. Rebooted, still on 4.1.2. Tried again, same problem.
THEN I started looking for the files I could use to push the update to my phone through Odin.This thread sent me to sammobile, which, after making me register, sent me to hotfile. I keep trying to press the "Regular Download" button but nothing happens... it's not downloading!
Now I'm super frustrated, can someone tell me how I can get my hands on this elusive beast? Again, I'm unrooted and stock and have no desire to flash a ROM.
Okay, I'd got here and follow the OP instructions http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2541395
Then i'd stop posting they same thing in to different sections. Just root your phone, place a custom recovery on it, and flash 4.3. I do want to sound rude or disrespectful but we have to keep the forums clean and clutter free.:laugh:

Sorry, are you saying that the only way to update is by rooting and installing this ROM?
You should get the OTA, just got a notification today on mine and I'm not even on stock Might be a good to root though as there are nasty bootloader mods in 4.3. If you are rooted on 4.1.2 check out the Note 2 development threads for the mk4 zip and several mk4 based rom updates (synergy etc). Just flash the modem then the Rom. (use goo manager to make sure you're on the latest boot manager). No custom kernels that I've been able to find yet unfortunately. Figure since you're rooted this all makes sense to you
I'm on stock and waited for the update for many days. No dice. But then I installed Kies on my PC, connected the phone, and was prompted to run the update. Now running 4.3.
I posted it at the end of the thread here (it's hosted from my Dropbox account).
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2536242
This is the MK4 Stock Un rooted Odin file I found in a tmp folder on my computer while Kies was grabbing the update. I've had it up for a few days with no complaints and I've flashed it 3-4 times with no issues. Just to be safe, wipe data and cache AFTER update has completed.
