Hello, i just purchased a new galaxy s3 virgin mobile edition..
I had like 6 updates when i turned it on and now i am on 4.4.2 kitkat which it's called kot in the system file..
Anyways i have been searching and searching for an easy oneclick root program..
I haven't been able to find anything that works at all...
So i am here to ask everyone on here..
Is there an easy sure fire way to root the galaxy s3 vm version?
That doesn't involve changing the rom or flashing something that might break something or brick my phone...
What happened to samsung? They used to be so easy to root and unlock it was like melting butter...
Thanks in advance
TowelRoot... Philz recovery has a one click root. Plenty of options. NDC is what your firmware is called BTW.

Thanks but like i said nothing works.. Towelroot says my phone isn't supported and others just fail to work..
It is like this is just a super locked device and just can't be rooted..
I know towelroot says for all phones etc but something tells me it aint for all phones..

What I just told you to do (Philz Recovery, use the one that ends in ".tar.md5" in Odin- turn off auto reboot in Odin, it helps) then hit Reroot in Philz Settings after you get into Recovery, go into the Play Store and download SuperSU and go into the app and update binaries. This method is tried and true for your device.
My ROM: WICKED X
Do you have a link to the Philz root page?
I'll try it if I feel like it's not gonna brick my phone. Never had to root through Odin..
Thanks

All major initial root methods always ask you to flash a custom recovery through Odin always.
What he explained is correct you are just going to flash Phil's custom recovery then boot it into recovery click re-root and once booted install SU and update binaries.

I got to thinking the other day after I got the "Firmware Update" notification for the umpteenth time that it would be really cool if there were a way that I could run the factory non-rooted ROM so that I could check my work email easily and then use some sort of app or sequence to switch in to a rooted ROM to do everything else. Is that possible?
No dual boot for us yet...

By firmware update are you talking about an ota update? If so, there are several zips you could flash to get rid of it.

Dual booting a zImage is tricky. Not to say its impossible but it isn't easy like a standard bootimg dual boot. The main problem lies in the recovery being packed with the kernel. When dual booting android if u run into an issue such as a bootloop you flash a zip to boot back to your main rom, the zips are recovery specific. With Tue recovery changing between zImage flashes you could quite easily end up in limbo til you get to a PC with Odin/heimdall to flash a new firmware and be able to boot back up. There's been some work done on it but you can't boot across versions only same build/version and its not really stable in the secondary rom due to kernel conflicts

let me get to the root of the problem. no pun intended.
why do you need to be unrooted to check work email? do you use an app like 'Good for Enterprise' that checks for root or something?

I have to use Touchdown for email and if it detects root (Superuser) it kicks you off the network-which I can't have.

Hello i've some problem with my T-Mobile Galaxy Note 2.
Last week i updated my phone on Android 4.3 version.
Unfortunelly i had a wifi bug and I couldn't connect to internet, so I decided to downgrade it to 4.1.2. I've flashed my stock ROM with the newest one. (thanks to this link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2102380 )
Afterward, i would rooting my phone and install custom binary CWM by this thread, option 2.
However i can't modifiy system files. I consequently would verify my status root by Titanium Backup. And that's really strange because it is already rooted.

So i'd like to know how to resolve my problem, i how to modify system files?
(PS: sorry for my bad English!)
PS2: That's the same thing if i connect it on SSH/FTP protocols, unable to modify too.
I have T889 version and I just updated today with 4.3 with no problem.
I would say the best thing is just start from scratch and reinstall your app.
I don't even use TB anymore, I used to but I just happen to run into problem a lot.
I decided to just reinstall apps everytime I flash rom.

So, do you advise me to re-install the 4.1.2 version and re-root again?

Try using the Odin again and when you full wipe don't even do anything just update to the original 4.3 via Tmobile.
After that install CWM or TWRP, Like I said I never had any issues installing Rom back and forth.
Just don't skip a step and never rush things.

I didin't understood that happened to me,
After several minutes and after downloading an alternative file explorer, SU granted to me to modify system files.
I received the OTA for Lollipop, but I can't install it because I have a custom recovery. I need to install stock recovery, but my USB port is messed up and I can't use ODIN to flash the image. Is there a way to flash stock recovery without using ODIN or the USB port at all? Thanks!

Unfortunately it's not Lollipop, only a security update (still 4.4.2), I don't believe there is any other way.

Couldnt you use Chainfire's mobile odin to flash stock kernel and recovery, triangle away device status to Official, unroot via supersu app, and accept update, along after the update, follow CNexus's guide to re-root without a PC?
Or does the Knox 0x1 bit still prevent you from updating O_O?

Mobile Odin is a bad idea in this instance, high potential to brick you device trying to flash stock that way. I would honestly say spend the $45 and have one of those repair places replace the port
Ah okay, i know it is bad flashing full firmwares through mobile odin. Didnt know itd be bad doing recovery and kernel only.

I'm not aware of a way to flash stock recovery without flashing the whole sheebang
I really have no big need for root besides being able to use WiFi tethering. I had rooted my phone before but went back to stock and got OTA Lollipop 5.01 but now foxfi is broken and really miss the capability. Not willing to pay Verizon for bandwidth I already paid for. I booted to recovery and it says I have s-off.
My question is: what is the simplest way to get the root. I really am not into spending time with daily builds etc. Just want my WiFi!

Put TWRP back on the phone again. Download the latest SuperSU to your phone, and flash it in TWRP.
Flash what? I have twrp and SuperSU installed.

You asked the simplest way to root. If you flashed SuperSU, you are rooted.
OK, I'm confused. I have the SuperSU and twrp GUIs installed. Is this something I do in recovery?

Did you only install SuperSU app from the Play Store? If so, that in itself does not give you root. You may be able to root the phone by opening the app, and picking the option to install the SU binary. But to be honest, I've never done it that way, so I'm not sure.
The way I've always done it (if I'm not using a custom ROM, which are already rooted) is to download the SuperSU zip. Here is the latest stable version: http://download.chainfire.eu/696/SuperSU/UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.46.zip
Than just boot into TWRP recovery, select the Install option, then browse to the SuperSU zip and flash it.
Got root, not tether
OK, I got it together to install TWRP via fastboot, and have SuperSu installed. CheckRoot says I have root. Unfortunately, I can't install the EnableDefaultTether.zip which worked with 4.4.x The zip I have seems to be dated May 15, 2014 although that might be when I downloaded it.
Is there an updated version of this for Lollipop on Verizon HTC One M8?
Thanks
Well I could not get the old wifi hack to work so I sprung for wifi tether router ($5). It works fine and worth the money since the old hack does not seem to work on Lollipop.
Is there an update to the write to external sd card hack for Lollipop?
Hey all,
First time I'm trying to root this device, and a long time since I've rooted any device, so I'm a bit rusty ...
While trying to flash with Odin, I'm getting this error (looks like a write permissions error?)

This is what's shown on the device after:
The current firmware on the device is the stock 4.4.2, and I'm using the latest CF Root for it: cfar_samsung_sm-t320_mondrianwifiue_kot49h.t320ues1aqa2_t0
Update:
I also went to updato.com, grabbed my latest firmware, flashed it in Odin (it passed), then re-tried the above: result was the same as above.
Any idea what step I should take next?
TIA

It's been so long i can't even remember the steps i took but if i were to do it right now I would probably flash twrp in odin, reboot directly to recovery and flash supersu.

Thanks, but you have to root before you can install a custom recovery; I'm stuck at trying to get the chainfire root installed.
I'm still stuck, anyone have any other advice?

Nope. I always flash root with custom recovery on every single device I've own which is alot.
If you bothered to follow that guide i included you would see that too. But ok...

Hi, sorry for reviving an old thread but I had this issue last night and wanted to share how I resolved it
I have the same T320UES1AQA2 model but couldn't get the CF autoroot to work either. I ended up going into recovery (Power + Vol Up + Home) wiping data and then flashing CF-Auto-Root-mondrianwifi-mondrianwifixx-smt320.zip which worked perfectly.
I know this is super late but hope it helps and anyone else who stumbles across this
