hello people
So I need to root my Sprint S3 which has 4.3 and I have a mac.
And..... I have no idea what to do.
I tried this one: http://www.androidrootz.com/2013/05/how-to-root-galaxy-s3-on-mac.html and it installed Superuser successfully but it says the Su Binary is not installed. So where do I go from here? Any suggestions?
Followed by that message is "do you want to install it?" or "SuperSU can't install it" ?
If first then just press "normal".

Aite I got it to work!
Just went on my friends old clunky PC running XP and did it.
The easiest root method I've found for jellybean 4.3 is to install philz via Odin and then boot into philz recovery and select the option to root device. Then go to play store and download supersu and do all necessary updating.

sure way to root and keep phn from wiping and reinstalling stock recovery
I just rooted my S3 and it was on stock 4.3 and no matter what recovery or procedure I tried to use as soon as the phn would reboot it would wipe and restore stock recovery, I found that if you unchecked the auto reboot button in Odin flash latest philz touch then when u get pass message, unplug take battery out then boot into recovery manually , it works like a charm, once in philz touch go to philz setting then apply the su and root, u will get a message that says successful, now download su from play store, this meens u are rooted but don't have complete root access until u install su and if u were like me and had Knox, su will ask u if u want to disable check yes, may need to update bianary but once it does congrats u can now install apps that u are now properly rooted, install root checker to make sure, I wrote this because there are a lot of threads out there about rooting s3 and none of them worked for me and I don't remember once reading a thread about unchexking the auto reboot and the booting into recovery manually, if you having problems getting ur recovery stick this may help, there are other process out there like triangle away but to me this is the easiest, litterly took 5 mins, anyways hope this helps

Backstory: I successfully rooted and installed CWM following Mr. Robinson's directions, the OTA update came out and I installed it prior to the threads explaining how to keep root, so I'm back to being unrooted on UCLH9. I no longer have CWM working and no root.
I'd like to install CM10, I'd also like to backup my Apps with TiBu first but that's not the end of the world if I didn't. I'm assuming that I could simply follow Mr. Robinson's guide again effectively going back a revision but then I read that if I do so I may screw up TW if I don't factory wipe prior to doing so. I'm under the idea that if I can get CWM back on the G3 I'm good to go but getting it rooted now seems to be the difficult part.
I guess I'm a bit confused as to where I need to start. If I could basically get a step by step of which way to go that would be great.
If you are not worried about tripping the flash counter and using triangle away app (I use it all the time without problems) you can flash this tecovery: http://db.tt/QYcH2jBM with Odin, reboot into recovery and flash superuser. And to reset the flash counter use the triangleaway app.
So I still have Superuser installed from when I rooted previously, if I flash that version of CWM would the SU app I have start working again you think?
Also, so I don't screw this up, could you quick outline the steps in Odin? I assume it's similar to what I've done before, choose PDA mode, Auto Reboot and F.Time checked, select the recovery and flash?
The SU won't work until you update the binary or reflash it.
You got the right steps for Odin.
No love.
I followed this thread using the S3 Toolkit as well but every time I flash CWM I can only get to 3e recovery. From the last few posts in that thread it looks like I'll need to revert back to an older firmware, root, install CWM then flash CM10.
Any issues with simply following Mr. Robinson's guide again and reflashing the older firmware? Should I do a factory reset? Or should I simply wait for a LH9 root injected image?

I had a similar problem in that the wrong recovery appeared, 3e rather than something else. After about the third time (http://galaxys3root.com/galaxy-s3-r...gh-t999sgh-i747sph-l710-fail-proofnoob-proof/), I reread the directions and saw this:
"Q: I keep getting stock Android recovery instead of ClockworkMod Recovery!
A: After rooting, erase /system/recovery-from-boot.p and /system/etc/install-recovery.sh using ES File Explorer with Root and Write enabled. That will make CWM stick. This is due to newer software versions overwriting your stock recovery on reboot."
I followed the instructions and got CWM with "install from SD card" as an option and I am currently enjoying Slim Bean 2.6 on my i747.
Download http://db.tt/XfHZr7Yh go to Odin uncheck reboot, flash recovery. When reset message appears remove battery. Reinstall battery hold vol up home and power buttons to boot into recovery flash that file it will remove stock recovery, flash SU. This should work.

Thank you, Thank you, Thank you for that link. Unchecking auto-reboot and pulling the battery was the key! Rooted w/ CWM installed. CM10 here I come! Now all I need to do is decided on nightly or M2 when it drops...
I was following the tutorial in this link:
galaxys3root. com/galaxy-s3-root/how-to-root-u-s-and-canada-galaxy-s3-sgh-t999sgh-i747sph-l710-fail-proofnoob-proof/
^ i cant post links yet, because of my post count, but please delete the space between the dot and the com.
I got up to the part where i got to take out the battery. After i did that turned it on holding the menu, vol up, and power, i let go of power when it vibrated. However, my phone didn't open clockwork mod. I think it went into the stock recovery because it has the image of an android with its stomach open.
So then i pressed reboot system now, and my phone booted as usual.
However, i go to try a system update. It says my phone is modified.
How do i fix this root?
It won't update Cuz ur rooted install goomanger or ROM manger and install a recovery. Or use ota root keeper and update ota that way

I have tried over and over to root my device and install Jedi S4. I am going through the process for the updated S4 for the UDID problem.
I have ODIN'd TWRP, then installed MDB-SetUIDOff.zip then SuperSU. At this point everything is fine. Then when I install JediS4 it appears to go okay but not very quickly, I hit reboot and I am hit with a "It appears your device is not rooted" would you like to install superuser?.......
If I hit no and reboot it just sits at samsung screen.... What am I doing wrong here?
I have tried the file T-Mobile_OUDHS-Recovery-jfltetmo.tar in ODIN as outlined by another site to no avail as well. It apparently places the stock recovery with the UDID issues fixed then roots the device.
Would appreciate any assistance in this matter.
Thank you,
CJ
Just use the RootUVUAMDL zip in recovery and that's it. All I did was flash cwm in odin then once I rebooted into recovery I flashed the Root zip I have been straight every since then.

When it says "would you like to install superuser" have you tried hitting yes? Also, if all you're seeking is root I would say to try flashing CF-Auto-Root in Original Android Development. If you want the custom recovery too, then either download and flash the Odin flashable TWRP recovery or boot into the ROM and installi Goo Manager and let it install TWRP for you.
Try CF auto root. Or if ur using the custom recovery tar in Odin, uncheck auto reboot and pull out the battery after u flash it in Odin. Then u will able to get to the custom recovery.

I just use CyanogenMod Installer and it's easy as cake! Plus you can also have a TW rom ready to go if TW is what you want

I had to use this method a few days ago and I got it to work with the latest Odin3 3.09. Anything else and it would fail for me.

I downloaded Odin v 3 09 and tried to root it again... no success.
Odin says PASS but root checker says its not rooted.

After Odin say passed are you rebooting into recovery and flashing Philz and SU or are you just rebooting into the phone OS like normal?
IF the above auto reboots back to the phone.
Uncheck the auto reboot and once it's all done and says passed reboot into recovery and complete the flashing needed.

I seem to have figured out the problem.. just updated SuperSU and root checker says my phone is rooted now. Now you said something about flashing Philz.. how do I do that and what does flashing Philz do to my phone?

if it says youre rooted then youre good. i dont think you need philz. i had the same problem. my recovery was cwm so.i dont think philz is a must.
if i remember correctly, it has something to do with supersu not matching or being up to date or something. hence your simple fix.

Download the rom you want to use, onto your phone.
Check it's md5 (i use md5 checker from the play store)
Boot into recovery and make a backup (i also reboot, go back into recovery and restore/boot into my backup just to make sure it's good)
Back In recovery, wipe to install a new rom.
Install your rom .zip
Reboot (and hopefully) profit.

Hi guys,
I have an international Note 2 (N7100) and I rooted it months ago and had different Android versions without trouble. Recently, I decided to download the stock rom and flash it with Odin to unroot it. It worked (I had to wipe cache and factory reset from recovery) after flashing back to stock rom.
But now I wanna root it again and I've tried to install many recoveries using Odin but after I click 'start' odin 'resets' and reboots the phone and it boots back to the custom rom without rooting although it shows 'Pass'.
WIth the CF recovery file, after Odin restarted the phone, a screen came up with a red Android robot and the screen had writing like 'mount cache' etc and 'restoring stock rom' towards the end.
P.s. In some instances, Odin managed to root the device (I think) but whenever I tried to get into recovery, the starting screen kept flickering weirdly and the phone just turned off. When I turned it on, it just turned on normally without going into recovery. So when it's on stock rom, the recovery works but whenever I try to root it with Odin, it either doesn't root at all or the screen does weird flickering when trying to go to recovery.
I don't know what to do so please help me. All I want to do is just root it and install a custom rom. Thanks.

Root with cf auto root, after rooting let it reboot ,after that update the binaries from super user app. Update super user , make sure the knox is disabled by super user when asked knox will interfere for recovery installation .if u want too reboot the device than install the recovery thru odin.

Could you please give me links to what I should download? Thanks a lot
Root can also be achieved by flashing twrp and then flashing supersu from twrp.
