Hello! This is my first time posting to a forum like this, hopefully I'm doing it right!
I have just gotten an S3 i747m to play with and cant seem to get it to root successfully
I have tried several times with the guides online, the actual root process works great, but when I use root checker it hangs up. Also there is no root access for apps.
I have read the forums and have seen most people root the S3 very easy. Has anyone come across this problem or have a fix for it?
I had no issues running Odin 3.07, everything says that the root was a success, but when I check the phone I have no root access. My phone was at full charge, my sd card was removed, and followed everything to the letter. It's also not the first phone I've rooted.
Any help in this regard would be appreciated thanks!!
What method did you use to roo?

I used chainfires method I believe. Readily available, step by step diy . I plugged my phone into odin, everything connected well. I loaded the PDA and the install passed. Everything passed, but there is no root access. I've tried the process several times, also the timer isnt resetting..... I check off F. Reset Time but its not resetting lol I'm stumped.
Did cf auto root install the supersu app? If yes, you should go to the playstore and update the supersu app.

No matter what i tried i can not get root on this phone i just got it about three days ago.
its a Tmobile Phone
it came with 4.1.1
Build UVDLJA
Ive tried root66 but no dice, i can not run any thing root, everything requiring root hangs in the loading screen and when i try to update the binary for superuser it fails in the acquiring root permissions section,
I never get the prompt to deny or allow.
this is is my 5th android phone and the first to present this issue to me.
Can anyone provide insight on why this is happening?
After you ODIN, did you see the super user icon? If not, you may not did it correctly or you chose the wrong TARZ file to ODIN.

Could be a bad download. I would re-download the root66 file and try again. Just to be sure, are you extracting the .tar file and flashing it in the PDA section in Odin?

Have you tired after you Odin root66 booting into recovery and wiping data and cache?

I had the same issue until I saw this video and it worked. Follow the link and it'll show u, for some reason this recovery file is the only one that worked.

Thanks for for input folks, I just decided to do a factory reset, that solved my issue s soon as it booked up I was rooted
Does anyone know if there is a more updated way or (cant think of the word for it) rooting a Samsung Galaxy SIII SGH I747? I've wanted to do it for months and months, but I was terrified of screwing something up, and when I finally over came my fear and heavily prepared, researching and everything ( different technique and all) none of them of them worked. I tried toolkits, XDA troubleshooting tips, all kinds of links and etc. I only get so far in the process where there is a quick flash of some sort in the Odin portion where you input the path from the C: drive part and stuff. I've just had so many issues. I feel like giving up so bad. But I'm not that type of person. I'M GOING tO GET THIS IF IT KILLS ME! Yesterday, I stayed on this thing from 9:00 am till 10:00 pm. Trying over and over, recapping my steps, making sure I read and reread the directions, jumping from site to site to see what other folks have tried.
I think I used quickroot method. I tried the toolkit before and it didn't work either. I finally found a correct root method in the i747 Android Development forum. Ill try to find the forum for you.

13 hours "trying" to root your phone with no success??? You're way over thinking it! Flash recovery to your phone through odin, then flash superuser through your newly installed recovery. Should take all of 10 minutes...
CF AUTO ROOT! It should take no more than a minute to root but it won't install a custom recovery so you'll need to use Rom Manager for CWM or GooManager to install TWRP after you root.

I have a note 2 sgh-I317 running 4.3 root went through but supersu (2.01) keeps getting blocked by knox and I have it turned off. Ive tried finding wqys around it but I havent been successful. If someone can please help Id really appreciate it. By the way I was using cf auto-root through odin to root the phone. Thanks in advance.

i had this when 4.3 first came out.
i cant remember how i got around it.
i think you have to revert so that when u load KNOX it says "INSTALL" so its not installed (even though its present).
then update Superuser to latest version after using CL_autoroot.
here is a thread i made about it a while back
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2535015
I actually found a thread right before you posted this on here that stated something about ES file explorer so I downloaded that searched for superSU and clicked install even though it was already on the phone. And that allowed me to get into superSU then I used uninstaller pro and completely uninstalled Knox all together and made superSu into a system app. Been working flawlessly ever since. Then I installed triangle away and reset my flash counts and surprisingly they reset all the way to 0. I appreciate your response hopefully others that are having troubles with this see this and can root their galaxys without as much problems as I had.
Hi
I rooted my phone a couple of months ago, a few days ago I accidentally updated superSU on google play. It said had to restart phone and update etc. So I did that but then I went into greenify and only could do the manual close and root was gone. So I used odin and clockwork method and did everything right but root was still not there. Did it a couple of times and still couldnt get root then uninstalled SuperSU and tried again and still nothing. I really dont know what the issue is. Could anyone give me a hand? Dunno whats going on
I have GT-I9190
Thanks

did you tried to root it with towelroot ?
Hi
I tried again and it just worked. After the 7th attempt with same method. Its odd.
Hi All
I bought my new Sprint GS6 (SM-G920P, 5.1.1) and decided to root it to enable tethering. I used Odin3 (3.10.6) and tried to flash it with a firmware I found in one of those “how to root SM-G920P”. I am not sure now if it was the correct tar file but it was G920PVPU1AOCF. So I did, Odin passed!, the phone rebooted, got the message “…seandroid enforcing…” which is normal I believe, and when it started up, the screen did not work! (I see my home screen but it’s not swiping and cant do anything). The Volume, power, home, menu and back buttons work, but the touch screen doesn’t. Also now it does not read the internet and phone signal. Tried to flash it with one of the latest stock firmware G920PVPU2BOF7, and Odin Fails! I tried factory reset, it didn’t work. I appreciate any help with this!
Try this firmware, which is the latest: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24343351889231947
Use an MD5 checker to ensure that your download was complete. I use WinMD5 from here: http://www.winmd5.com/
I that works for you, PM me and I'll help you get rooted and set up.
Wow thanks man! It worked. Now for the rooting process... which method do u recommend for a simple root. Not interested in custom rom yet.
