Easiest method to root?

Reason why I ask is because, for any internet access to the internet on my computer I will be using hotspot on the phone I'm rooting.

This is what I did... go to the guide in general and look for how to root
Then download odin and recovery (whichever u prefer) then download In Developement Darkside data wipe and download any rom you want that has root.
1. Open odin
2. Put ur phone in DL mode (power+vol up and down+plug in usb)
Then place the recovery in the PDA slot
3. Then start
Then in CWM go flash the Darkside datawipe (it'll take a lil while)
Then flash your desired rom then reboot

If not... then it'll give you an option in the guid if you want to flash superuser via CWM hope this helps!

This will work with stock ics? Do I need a Rom? Can I do this method without?

Go here, download all of the files to your phone, transfer the drivers, odin, and the recovery.tar to your computer, then follow the steps outlined and root. It's what I did because we are on dial up Internet, but I i have data on my phone, so I just downloaded and transfered the files. Write down the directions on paper too, so you don't have to worry about missing a step.
Goodluck!

It's not installing the su file, keeps saying installation aborted. Restarted the phone and it said I had an update for superuser, updated it but all my root apps still won't work.

You've done the fix permissions right? And sometimes you need to attempt repeatedly. The last thing is, try using this version

Okay, I'm not sure what you flashed with Odin. Download twrp and flash the recovery img in the past, with everything unchecked. Once you boot into recovery you have to flash the root file in the twrp root kit on that site.

I believe you can still use the adb method. You just need to flash the previous version on top of the one you have right now. And you should be done.
Please someone correct me if I'm wrong.

Sure you can flash with Odin. But to be honest, to me at least, adb is much more easier.

it works on a stock recovery an it may also work on a custom recovery.
the rot and recovery files need not be flashed if not preserving root.

OTA requires stock recovery, not custom recovery. It downloads, then but reboots expecting stock recovery.
Odin or Kies as mentioned above.

If the phone is already rooted Kies will have a hard time recognizing it. I strongly recommend Odin

Yellow COM indication is an older (but usable) version like v1.85. You must have used v..3, where blue is the new yellow. It's ok.

You could try v. 1.85 Odin. It's in the CF Auto Root zip among other sources. Then there's the Samsung Kies instructions I posted above, if needed.

Ill try it again then try kies. Thanks

Indication of a bad download. You could try redownloading the update. MD5 & SHA Checksum Utility can save this trouble by checking downloaded files before attempting to flash.

help!!! No OS

T-Mobile Galaxy 3 N900T
No OS. TWRP was installed and I thought I had ROM on SD card no. So now I have no OS. I tried the Volume up home on button but just says Galaxy Note 3 and that's yet.
I read some other posts but where do I get recovery image and how do I get to bootloader? via Odin?
How do I recover?

Where did the os go that you was running.you know it is power home and vol up at same time to get into recovery.

If all else fails download the factory image from samobile and flash it in Odin. Will lose everything but phone will be working again.

If you have to ask questions like that it really would be worth reading up on how to do this stuff. Unsure if you can truly brick it but better to be safe than sorry.
Sent from my SM-N900T using Tapatalk

You can't really brick this way, although I'd consider it a soft brick. No os is simply that, no os. Uninstall your pc os and everything is still there, all your data is fine (given you keep your os and data separate. I.e partitions, which is android.)
Flash an os and you're fine

What gives?

For realizing I'm a moron! Somehow I missed the Vol up part! LOL

Seeing as how I haven't flashed a recovery, I've no reason to attempt recovery. Thought it was still Vol - and power like the s3.
