I tried motochopper method and it fails and have been trying the heimdall method but am having problems installing libusb. Macs are easily accessible to me but since my pc crapped out on me I don't have easy access to a pc that I can download stuff on, anyone with Mac experience rooting able to help? I've already read the threads on it and can't figure it out and they are old and doesn't seem like support is there anymore. Thanks

If you use an XP disc, it shouldn't be very big. Create a dynamic virtual disk and then delete it when you're done.

I'm at work so as soon ad I very home I'll try it. I odined back too stock and got all the software updates but not the download drivers notification. I did a factory reset to. Funny thing happened tothat I didn't mention. I deleted the drivers cause I noticed it wasn't recognizing my phone after trying it like 3 times. So I odined twice and on the second time it recognized it without the drivers installed. Now that knew gout me scratching my head.

I found a way to root using Odin that seems very simple although I am on a road trip and am playing with my new toy! I just bought it Thursday and came over from the OG Evo...R.I.P. So I hope there is a way because I would like to experiment with maybe new kernel as I do really like the stock ROM and I also want to get Titanium Backup running! Please Help if you have heard either way

Hey XDA,
I was wondering if there was a way to root the t999 without using a PC, because I don't have one at the moment. Thanks in advance.

It didn't work. For some reason it was only working on Sprint phones.

Wouldnt using Mobile ODIN allow you to flash the root .tar file from your device? Not certain as I never used Mobile ODIN.

Nope, it requires root. Unfortunately. Which I think is kind of stupid.

I just think it's inconvenient for people who want to flash tars that are not rooted. I do think the app is absolutely amazing though.

MobileODIN wouldn't work if it wasn't Root. Functional, not stupid.
Back on topic, on other devices that I have had, you can flash a custom recovery via the stock recovery but naming the file 'update.zip' and placing it in the root of the ext_sd. Not sure about the T999 series, I haven't looked into or tried it.
What about cf autoroot by chain fire?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-T999 using Tapatalk 4 Beta
CF auto root requires Odin on a pc.
I really do not think there.is a way to do this. Sorry man.
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda premium
Suggestion: Find an internet cafe (if you can find one that allows downloading exes)
Pay for the time you think you might need.
Download Odin
Download the files you need
You know the rest!
Or you must have a friend who would be willing to give you a go.
It takes about 15 mins to do it if you know what you are doing.
I hope that helps, cheers!
Thanks guys. Mods can close this topic now.

Maybe it will be easiest to use someone else's PC first. After that Mobile Odin can allow flashing from on board your phone.

Other than the method posted, no. Did you use the files in the attachments linked to that root thread? As there are no exploits available to make flashable roots it must be done either with a computer or the method posted.

I apologize for sounding rude, but if you can't follow that guide I don't suggest messing around with your phone too much.
It's pretty straight forward, all you're doing is typing commands into terminal emulator once the required files are on your sd....not difficult in the slightest.
Why not just go to a library and use one of their computers? Or a friends? There's no one click root for the GS3 pretty sure.
Thats where I need help at the terminal emulator commands

Well anyway,
I did try the exploit on my computer and discovered that the exploit appears to be patched for AT&T phones on the latest update, which most people have, which makes this thread somewhat pointless.
It did work on the previous 4.1.1, but only with a computer, which still makes this thread pointless, and most people are going to struggle anyway with the way the terminal commands are given.
It's much easier to just use someone else's computer and use one of the easier root methods.
