came across...this to root a variety of Android phones, seemed to work as my phone is now rooted. couldn't find anything else about it. seemed ok one click solution. but thought I would put it up here for others to check out.
The makers of Kingo root method have complied with XDA posting requirements.
Very nicely designed site. Looks like the AT&T version of the S3 isn't listed as supported though.

Hello, I've rooted a few phones (Nexus One, HTC Fender, Sprint HTC Hero) so I'm not new to this. I am wondering what the best and easiest root method for the EVO. The main reason I want root is for the Wireless Tether application so hopefully that will work with the EVO.
Thanks
READ its pretty easy
i have used both toast and rom manager both are simple

This kind of post is made for the general forum, please take these kind of questions there. But to answer your question, I would say the unrevoked method is probably the easiest, that is just my opinion. I recommend toasts method however if you can follow the directions carefully.
I have tried the guides and I get no where. My software version is 1.32.651.6.

You're going to need to provide a lot more information than that or no one can help you.

Don't do the unrevoked method.
do the 3 click root method..http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=706411&highlight=click+root
its basically toasts method put into a script.
I had no knowledge on how to root before I came to android. The first method I tryed worked like a charm for me.

And then if you want to unlock NAND (which there is really no reason not to)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=705113
Unless you know how to use ADB, then toasts is just fine. The 3 step method I have yet to try, I don't want to because this way is fine for me.
The 3 click root is awesome

I got it going yesterday, it would not take the PC36IMG.zip file. I finally found that after formatting the memory card again it worked fine. I did format it through the phone but still got invalid image error. I formatted it to a FAT32 in windows and it worked fine. BTW I used the toast method and part 1 and 2 worked like a charm. I just put on a stock rooted ROM since this phone is for my wife and she doesn’t care what’s on it. I just wanted to be able to install wireless tether and ROM manager.
hi all I'm trying to root my phone but there is so many different ways to tour. I would like the simplest way to root but I want it to do everything that all rooting software would do. I've come across one click options and would like to do those since I don't have to use my computer. Please help! Thanks
you are so going to get bashed in here for asking that question. The expectation is that everybody reads everything they can and then if they are hung up on something they can post a question. I am a relative noob although I have lurked on this site for a few years. I don't bash anybody though.
I understand your frustration.
I simply flashed a single .tar file to my phone while my phone was in download mode. I felt it was very simple using windows on my Mac. There is the very simple Exynos exploit file somewhere here where you download it and basically install it. I thought that this Exynos installation did something to the camera app.
Hopefully, somebody here will help you determine what is best for you. I really haven't tried many methods of root. I like to stick with one I am familiar with since a lot things might go wrong if not done right.
I am not sure what you mean by having the root method do everything that all rooting software would do. When you root you are just gaining access to portions of your phones files that are locked when you buy it. If you want more 'stuff' then you would flash a custom rom after rooting
Thanks for not bashing me. I'm def a noob and I'm new to the android community. I moved from an iPhone to galaxy n2 so I'm learning as I go. Thanks for your help!

Check out Chainfire's method for rooting. It's very simple, there is even a video instruction going step by step. It took me 5 minutes and I came from an Iphone. Head on over to the Original android development subforum, you'll see it there. Good luck!
Google "exynos abuse" if you have not already taken the ota update.

I used the exynos abuse because I didn't need to use my computer to do it and it worked fine. But once I did the latest OTA update from AT&T, I lost root. So I did the Chainfire method. (See http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1980644 )
t's really easy and took about 5 min.
You might find a few helpful things on the page I made here.. Samsung Galaxy Note 2 ROMs & Community Links
First, take a breath...

Just got my Note 2 about 3 weeks ago and haven't ventured into rooting it yet, BUT I did research here on XDA about rooting before doing it to my Galaxy S2 (AT&T) and the one thing I want to mention is to take your time are read to confirm whether or not the procedures you're looking at are for the Note 2 AND for the variant you have. Using the wrong process (rooting, kerneling, installing custom rom) can cause all sorts of problems, so don't be impatient if you don't know what you're doing. And by all means DO A COMPLETE BACKUP before you do any rooting.
That said, when I did root my S2, it was a very easy process...took all of about 15 minutes to backup, root, install custom rom, etc.
Good luck...and let us know how you do!

I am new to Android, I was a iPhone user before and I am loving my Samsung Galaxy so far. And I want to learn more about customizing my android phone. So I heard about rooting, but when I did the research about rooting it is so complicated because there's lot of ways to root it. I just want to know the easiest way and I want to know what can I do after I root it.

Cant tell you whats easiest since I havent tried them all, but i used chainfires root method here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2294005
and then used the goomanager app to install TWRP recovery.
after rooting you basically have full access to your phone and get to flash custom roms which all have different benefits, along with being able to use powerful apps that need root access. Titanium backup is a must have also.
using the above method I got everything including a rom installed in under 20 min on my first try..

Find what baseband you are using.. Settings->About Phone... It will either be M919UVUAMDB or M919UVUAMDL. Once you have determined which baseband version you are running, try typing the last 3 letters of the baseband version (MDB or MDL) and the word "root" into the search box in the Q&A section. Read the 1st page or two of a few of the posts until you ascertain which rooting method is the correct one to use. Once you determine what method to use, you can browse/search the General section and/or Development sections for whichever rooting method you decide. Read the first post to get an idea of how to do it, then root. It is not complicated as, aside from the downloading part, each of the what... 4 root methods for the S4 are pretty much point and click..
As far as the "why," I'm fairly confident that in the fairly detailed search outline I laid out will be answers to why people root and things you can do once rooted. May not be listed as "You can do this, this, this, and this." In fact, probably be more like "I want to do *something*. Do I need root?" -> Answer: "Yes."

I didn't see a section dedicated to the virgin mobile galaxy s3 so I thought I should make one.I have the sphl710 with the new baseband nj3 and I know many others like me have questions like. How to get root back if they lost it? How to root now? if there are any one click methods that will work as of now? And other General questions I've had and I've seen many others have had. So the answers I've came to are
# The only way I've seen people getting root back after the update is with philz recovery.
# How to root now? Well that's my question to.
# Is there any one click methods that work as of now? No , well from what I've seen. All the new firmware is having that problem. Towel root won't work on Sprint galaxy s3 with a baseband of nj2 and nj3 from what I've seen and tried. Same with farmaroot it worked great before but until it gets a update it won't work. Other than those main ones I've tried allot of other one click methods to no prevail. So your not alone in that.
If you have comments or questions or both feel free to ask and discuss. Let's try to be new user friendly because we've all been there not knowing what anyone else is taking about.so let's not make anyone feel stupid. Thanks
I've rooted my Virgin Mobile S3 in the last couple of months with the NJ3 modem, and I found this page to be of great help: http://androidforums.com/forums/virgin-mobile-galaxy-s3-all-things-root.2292/ Specifically, I used the All-In-One Custom ROM User Guide by struckn: http://androidforums.com/threads/all-in-one-custom-rom-user-guide.791952/ It's a little outdated, but it doesn't matter.
I read through the whole thing, but you really only need the rooting part in the beginning if you want stock rooted with a custom recovery. I have Philz, as it is what the guide said to use, and everything works smoothly. The guide also covers good custom ROMs if you want those (after I made a Nandroid backup of stock, I played with a few ROMs before sticking with Android Ice Cold Project v8)
A side note: When I was completely new to this, I was perplexed by Odin. I used it after finding a download for it somewhere (there is no official download, as it is leaked software), but I'd recommend giving Heimdall a try first ( http://glassechidna.com.au/heimdall/ ), instead. Also, Heimdall is cross-platform, so you don't have to use a Windows computer to root!
Hello,
Navigating around I have found one rooting method for the N1.
Link removed
Cannot play with it since until Mid April I will not have an N1. Hope that more people in XDA get this tablet to start working with it.
That site looks quite scammy to me. Please dont post links that you have not verified that they work.

That POST just says to use Root Genius to provide root. If you search Root Genius on XDA you will see that it has been successfully used on other devices. Don't know if it has been really tested, maybe it even is scammy. However, it is a first step that I will try whenever I have my hands on one N1.
It is just the only place ive found with information on just rooting the N1. Hope there are some more as more people tests the tablet.
That site is an auto generated linkbait. They just enter that phones name and generate hundreds of loookalike pages. Root genius looks scammy too, likely it's a few root apps like Towelroot packaged with some malware. Try to download root genius from its official site with Chrome, it will block the site because its marked malicious. If there is really a root method it will not appear on some no name site, it will be on a high traffic forum like this.
Read the Chinese forums they are waiting for root too. ( https://translate.google.com/transl...gfan.com/forum-1616-1.html&edit-text=&act=url )
I tried this method some weeks ago (with Root Genius) and IT DOES NOT WORK.
Please, don't post this links without check before.
Also I've tested Kingo Root, it does not work either.
