root: there are several methods to root first and mostly recommended flash Philz recovery for the D2Lte in Odin just make sure your on the latest one then root your stock rom with the option under Philz settings called Re-root(SuperSU) or you can use any recovery and flash the SuperSU zip from Chain fire or you can just use TowelRoot for the actual rooting process then download SuperSU and BusyBox from the PlayStore

I have the SPH-L710T...TowelRoot doesn't work. I suspect this configuration of S3 is still too new. SRSRoot One Click didn't work either.

When I did root checker on Towelroot it came back as not rooted. Same with SRS. I'll look into Philz this weekend when I can spend a whole day making sure it's done correctly.
Philz will do it guaranteed. Just gotta install supersu from play store

did you uncheck the Auto-Reboot in Odin and manually turn off your phone and then booting it manually into Philz Recovery and then using the option under Philz settings called Re-root System (SuperSU) ?

I picked up one of the Spark enabled S3s as well, I Odin'ed the latest Philz set to check for root and to root in Phil's, rebooted and installed SuperSU on the play store. Had zero issues getting root on stock. Which version of Philz are you using? Have you tried to flash any ROMs? There are a myriad of AOSP based ROMs too choose from.
Do you believe it will work for my version? Could you post the links you used to get everything please? You were successful and i just want to be suren
Also. Im usint Haimdall on Linux Mint. Anyone know od any issues or special procedure.

I don't remember at this point. When I went to the page to DL the Philz data there were several versions, I grabbed the one with the highest number (appearing to be the most recent).

The latest is philz_touch_6.48.4-d2lte.zip make sure it's that one since it's the one I used
I've tried all these
http://www.itsaboutmobile.com/2013/10/android-rooting-software.html
Except the ones that cost. No dice. Philz could stand one source with a more detailed instruction set than "Load, run, done". I just want to eliminate certain intrusive apps without having to become an Android master programmer in the process..
Suggestions on custom ROMs for SPH-L710T
Any one have any ideas. I heard Conquest Singularity 9.4 is great, BUT there are radio and MMS issues. I also heard about the axis coming UN calibrated. Any ideas? I have rooted with Philz Touch latest no problem. I would tell anyone now with this model that it is safe to root with Philz. I used JODIN the online variation of ODIN. Worked no problem. It wanted a PIT file. I downloaded the PIT from the phone using Heimdall. Then I loaded SuperSU Pro 2.01 and again, no problem. I really only need the HotSpot to work now. I would like a custom ROM that is leaner and faster, but at least a working HotSpot.

Singularity is a awesome rom. I ran it for quite a while with minimal problems(most was just user error) As for AOSP I have been using the CM11 M10 Snapshot, will excellent results.
Philz will root it. Why hes havin issues, is beyond me. I just rooted 4 710t's with philz via odin.
Yes, the rotation is jacked up with everything but stock. Theres a bunch of guys workin to find a fix. Tried various kernels and such but a solution hasnt been found that im aware.
Hotspot- wifi router 6.0 in playstore works. Thats verified, on stock. Its not free, but its cheap.
Hope that helps.

Looking for some help
I am currently running Sprint's OTA 4.3 (MK4) on my Note 2. I have rooted using Odin 3.07 and CF-Auto-Root-t0ltespr-t0ltespr-sphl900.
After every reboot SuperSU is stopped (I assume by knox) until I reinstall it. Then SuperSU works (or at least pretends to).
My WIFI Trev-E Mod starts with errors, so I was looking to flash to LorJay's ROM. Which brings me to deleting/disabling the KNOX off of my phone.
I have root directory access, but when I delete the files you specify, they do not disappear, even though the explorer states they have been deleted and then only the files /system/apps location show at all. The rest aren't there.
I tried rebooting and KNOX is still there and I have to reinstall SuperSU again.
I have also rooted using Android Root in which it says root is successful as well. But with the same results.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

If you are going to install anther rom dont worry about knox. Put phone in download mode and use odin to flash recovery (I suggest philz 6.07.9) but uncheck the reboot option. Once it flashes everything disconnect from pc pull battery. Now the tricky part. Hold down volume up key, menu key, and power key. Now reinsert battery at same time. Ii find it easiest to turn phone upside down to perform this task. Once it boots into recovery just flash your desired rom.

And from stock MK4 the easiest method to root and such for me is just use Google Kingo Root App on PC to root. It will restart phone and then you can install from the market GooManager if you want TWRP (touch) recovery, or RomManager for CWM. I installed all recoveries successfully (haven't tried any philz yet) and can flash whatever rom from there. Less battery pulling and no ODIN necessary.
Then usually I install Titanium Backup and remove Knox and freeze or remove other bloat. Leaves me an almost clean stock experience.
Just in case anyone needs an alternate method.

Whoa, this has got to be one of the most unorganized forums on the internet. LoL, sorry, its just soooo hard to find clear, up to date info, that I had to make a thread here.
I basically decided its time to update my phone and I want to root it, mainly to get battery savings and stop google from running all those apps in the background (who knows what info they are gathering).
Anyways, like the title states,
I'm on Tmobile, with a M919 on 4.3 with MK2, I would like to go to kitkat and root and NOT TRIP KNOX, if possible.
I'd also be interested in custom roms, if possible, like CyanogenMod... But of course, I'd like to keep my warranty, as I've already had to use it once, and I still have 2 whole months left and wifi is acting up (I get a lot of unstable wifi messages recently, didn't check my router yet but my laptop is working fine....)
Your help is appreciated.
Thx
ohh, my wife's phone is on 4.2.2, she is due for an update too, she wants the emoticons so that's one "major" reason to update...
Perhaps I can switch phones with her, and update that one to a rooted 4.4.2 without tripping knox, if possible?? Please point me in the right direction... I also like many of the features that dbombmod rom has, like call recording and more..
Yours is gonna trip Knox.

cool thanks, I will read up on safe root, but it looks like it may work. So once I'm rooted, I can install any rom right, even the 4.4.2 with knox removed and it would be fine right? And also the NB4 modem as well, and any kernel too?
My wife is hesistant to switch with me now because of the wifi unstable issue I have. I think I may have fixed it by clearing the Wifi Direct and Wifi Direct apps cache and data. Hopefully it is only a software problem, and not a hardware problem.
oyyy, after further reading, this does root the phone, but doesn't unlock the bootloader, and without an unlocked bootloader you cannot install custom roms, but I still didn't read if I can install another modem or another kernel???
what about towelroot? Does that unlock the bootloader?
tried towelroot on 4.3...
didn't work
updated to 4.4.2,
still doesn't work
ughhh
ohhh well, I guess I will switch phones with wife...
Lol. You can still download custom ROMs with a locked bootloader. If you do flash the NB4 modem you will definately trip KNOX. If you flash a non stock kernel you will trip KNOX and if you flash a custom recovery you will trip KNOX.

I finished setting up my old phone for my wife. I "Turned off" many of the apps that are installed that we never use, so her battery should do ok on 4.4.2
I just did towelroot on her phone, and it has instant root access, no reboot required or anything. Root Checker says I have root already. yay. Now I guess I need to update with modded firmware. Is there any particular order I have to install stuff?
Can I start with the rom, then modem, then kernel or is there a particular order I need to install stuff. And what should I use, odin or what?

You can flashbin any order. Some ROMs come with a kernel that they recommend but you can flash a different one if you prefer. If you DL Titanium Backup from the play store you can freeze any unwanted apps completely instead of just turning them off.

turn off Google now as well if she doesn't use it, saves a ton of battery! and you just flash the ROM and then the modem, kernel is in the rom.. read the guides on how to flash the NB4 modem on older bootloader, and read OP of the ROM you are flashing, there should be flashing instructions for you too, good luck!

Thanks, I searched and found out that TWRP is the way to go. I used flashify to install it and I was able to flash the new rom. Works good. I also got call recording to work, but not with wifi calls, is that something that never worked or its just a bug in my phone? I'm thinking of trying other roms to see if they got call recording with wifi calls, but that would take a lot of time.
I also did install the NB4 modem flash (twice like the instructions said) and its good, got 2 extra bars (but I doubt my signal got any better, they just want you to see more bars)

Ok so I've been searching through the interweb on how to root my s3 which is already on 4.4. All I get is how to root and install 4.4. However I just wanna root. I've tried chainfire and Odin. Also after I did that it says super su has stopped working. But I believe that's cause th binary is old. I tried to find how to update that And I can't. I even went to the play store to do it but it just said open. Also when I go to app manager it doesn't give me the option to uninstall super su. Sooooo if you guys can help me ide really appreciate the help! Thanks.

Haha I've been having plenty of issues rooting mine as well! For SU I think you need to get SU Update Fixer (Playstore).
I just did through reading other threads. However when it says gaining root access it says fail. Then just sits there and does nothing. Meh

Then you're not rooted If you really want to you can install Odin, get a philz_touch file, and just flash a rooted stock
http://fs1.d-h.st/download/00086/tes/philz_touch_6.00.8-d2spr.tar.md5
I did mine a few days ago. I had 4.4.2 on my phone. Used P hilz touch 6.41.6 d2lte. Used Odin 3.07. Uncheck autoboot. Then go into recovery and follow philz root instructions.

Ill try to get Philz and install that. I use odin to do that correct? Well I do have stock recovery and used odin to flash chain fires auto root but it didn't work. So ill try doing it the other way like u stated.

There is an apk called towelroot that seems to root many Samsung phones. I tried on my S3 and it works. https://towelroot.com/. Some anti-virus software may flag this, but it is safe from my experience.
Didn't work

Hey there...
Long to short, i am in same boat! Have been all over XDA and the net to try and find a way to root me S3, Virgin Mobile (sprint) 4.4.2....
Now I spent several days this past week trying to just root the darn thing! Hvae never had such a horrbile time try to root a $#@%&'n Samsung.
I have dont the following
~Odin 3.09, 3.07 and Chainfire Auto root...then read about how 1.85 Odin, should fix this issue....which i did not root.
found some, off the wall place, tried their "Odin" ((which was in chinese, or maybe even Japanese) was set up the same as 1.85, but I could not
read it, the buttons and colors were the same, so i figured "what the heck" .... NO))
~ ALL THESE brought the phone to the point of rooting, like everyone said proir...(phone would show Chain Auto root deal was working, ... " "Rebooting in 10 seconds.'.... (already had SU apk, it would same the same thing " need to update"..." You now have 4.3 and need to find
a way to root"... or something like that
Then read here @ XDA that, those ways seem to not work.. "Need to Odin and install Philz recovery".... Did that with all th e"Odin's" above,
except the old ball jobbie... everytime it reoboots, I then try to get to recoevery, it is not there....it seems to "re-set" bootloader or something, just does not stick!!!!
I really just want to be able to get rid of several stock apps that I dont even use, nor will, and the darn things are running all the time...Thanks Samsung!!!!
Ok if anyone does have some way to do this...PLEASE let me know! Am looking into that towelroot, but not 100% about that at this point!
OH, even found some clowns out there...if you pay them $$$... they will end up sending some package or zip or even #'s, to your phone...within 24hrs..... guess you open that up... TA-DA you are now rooted, adn will be forever!!!! .... Anyone seen such a rip off! dont ytube much, but i guess they are over there... wow, are there really that many ^%#$^& weird-O's out there???
Again, any help from anyone would be more than weclomed ...
thanks
Install philz thing. And then go download the chain fire from your phone and then I believe go to play store and get the su update fixer. Then reboot into recovery and install zip from card or wherever u saved the chainfire app at. Next after reboot go to the update fixer run that. Believe or supersu might have been installed and I can't remember if I opened that And got it to update the binary or not.

At first it didn't seem to be rooted but I had to go through opening supersu and or the su update fixer. It asked me if I wanted to disable Knox crap and I did that Obvi haha.

WORKIN'
GOT IT ROOTED>>>>>
Not sure if it was "Operator Error" or me old eye balls....
I took a break for bit. When I came back, I found that doing Odin 1.85 / Philz Recovery does work!!! Found out that when you are in download, Mode, you DO NOT REBOOT. You actually go right into Philz Recovery, FORM DOWNLOAD MODE, just as you would if it was turned off.. "Home" + "Vol. UP" + "Power" once you see the blue line on top of screen, let go of power.
I did take and selected "Re-root" then "Boot to Recovery" that is what works.
(Of course I had SU already installed, so once out of Recovery the 2nd time, boom, SU was there asking on home screen what to do....
AWESOME!!!
Hope this can help others

i used both Towel root (first time) then Philz (second time) and with Philz i had auto-reboot checked and when it finished installing via Odin i just held "Home" + "Vol. Up" while it rebooted and it booted nicely into Philz recovery with no problems i guess what ever method works is dependent on your personal S3
True
Yes it is up to what works and personal prefences. Personal, I like to haev complete control over what is going on in and with my phone. Way too many things I dont need/want out in the public.
As I have said in antoher thread, was this KitKat, is the first one, from Google, with backing from NSA. They really have gone out of the way to have just anyone root there phone. Now, add this Knox in the picture, things are just starting to get rough. The good, not every John Doe will be able to do mods to their phones... The sad, NSA.. not even getting into that!!!
Certainly, this is way places like XDA, are here, and the support and response they get are great! Heck isn't that why we are all here?
Keep up the good work alll
So I haven't been on xda for a while. I've rooted my note a good 12x. I got a replacement and decided to keep it stock as long as possible. Now my phone just pisses me off with touchwiz. I wanna flash a twrp or cwm so i can flash cm11 and so on. I know Samsung just puahed this new update out so idk if anyone has rooted it yet. Does any one know how to root and instal cwm on 4.4.2? Really want to flash a rom. Thank you very much for time and feedback

I used cf auto root heres the link
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1980644
Can you please confirm that cf worked on 4.4.2? Their site only shows compatibility up to 4.3. I've been searching everywhere, but found no confirmed reports of cf or anything else working on 4.4.2. I want to root my i317 while retaining the stock rom so that I can enable tethering.

What recovery are you using, and how did you install it, TWRP bricked mine.
C auto root is flashed with odin in download mode. While rooting, it installs a custom recovery.
maybe it's kitkat, but it didn't install one for me. When I went into recovery, it was the normal factory recovery, which allowed nothing. I tried with Rom Manager, but nothing.
CF worked
I had to manually install the latest Supersu apk then update the binaries to get it working afterword, but I'm finally rooted
Now to get tether working

Download a recovery like philz and flash it in odin while the phone is in download mode
Let me ask you this:
1. root with odin.
2. install CWM with odin?
3. Not I have 4.4.2 stock rom with root.
4. Can I install a custom rom with 4.4.2. stock rom still on the phone?

Yes, if 1 - 3 is accomplished, you are ready for experiments in custom roms. You use the recovery to flash.
But make sure you have the latest recovery, and that you check the rom instructions a few times before you do anything.
Ok....cwm from Rom manager, or twrp through odin? I don't mean to break chops, I've rooted a captivate and played with it for a year, when my wtty was over with this phone, I rooted it, and had JediX 19 on it. I went back to stock, and then 4.4.2 When samsung stock 4.4.2 was installed, for some reason, it keeps bricking on me.
Ok, I rooted, and installed twrp from odin,.... passed. When I go into recovery, it's not there.
Ok. Hopefully someone has an answer. I rooted with CF auto root, Odin....fine. Installed CWM, fine. Downloaded SuperSU.....unfortunately superuser stopped working everytime I press on it. I cannot uninstall it, because it DOES NOT show up in application manager. I installed root checker, and says phone is not rooted. I can get into clockwork MOD, but no zip files show up. Can I use Odin to re flash CF auto root?, or just quit, I would hate to brick this again.
Sounds like Knox is blocking you. After rooting, install the latest Supersu apk (2.02) and install manually. Then when you open it, it should ask to update binaries. Let it, then it should ask about dialing Knox. Click yes. Viola, you're fully rooted. After the above is done, you can play with ROMs n such.
Up till that point, there is no need to flash anything, as auto root is designed to do the work for you from a pure stock rom.

Thank you sir! I went into ES file explorer, and manually installed SuperSU. Although it never asked about dialing KNOX. I installed Root Checker, and it says I'm rooted. Appreciate yours and everyone else's help. Have a great day.
After Updating to the newly updated firmware for both Sprint and the Boostmobile/VM variant, I am very sure a lot like me are facing difficulty with any workable method of rooting these new firmware. I spent up to three days searching OPs and cant actually find any guaranteed solution. So I am hoping this thread would help us find all the answers we need at one place. Those who have successfully rooted NJ2/NJ3 should share their method with us.

Flash last official Philz recovery via Odin, reboot into Philz recovery and select (re)root and reboot phone. Install SuperSU from playstore

I saw the guide. Towelroot no longer works , as we all know.
I happen to use Linux as an OS, and the Odin alternatives didn't work for me (it's been a while so my memory of it was a little fuzzy) I didn't just give up after the first try or anything, I've asked question about it before.
I'm wondering if there could be an alternative to Towelroot at this time. Ideally I'd rather not have to rely on some program on my PC. I'm not afraid of the terminal, either.
Yes I also faced several failures before I managed to get my phone rooted. I used chainfire's autoroot for sph710 and it worked so you might want to give it a try

One is a Flashable Zip...not sure if I have used it, but it should work and the other you must unzip and flash using Odin...I know that one works.
I used Chainfire's CF-root method but I also did not care about tripping the flash counter because this is a used phone from eBay and I have no warranty to worry about.
Well I just didn't care about warranty. Anyway it worked for me but I've Knox tripped

Yes, After about 24 hrs spent on how to root the NJ2 update, I used the chainfire's auto root "CF-Auto-Root-d2spr-d2spr-sphl710.zip" for build ND8 and it worked on my GS3.
Thanks for your thread, Seeing that you got it work successfully I got confidence to do it with the ND8 autoroot.
Am glad I could help
