Hi I have a s3 by Sprint that I need to root so I can use it as a hotspot. I know Sprint doesn't allow a hotspot for free but I was told a root can fix that. I also have no computer so does anyone have a solution without the computer? Thank you

I didn't read the entire post there; you could shoot a PM to @CNexus, he created that guide and would be better suited to answer that.
Sorry I wasn't able to help out, good luck with your phone.
I believe that it only worked for a while. At this point I think the only way to root is by a computer especially on 4.3. I've heard some have had a little success with Mobil Odin but not sure all the details on that. Good luck.

I'm about to try towelroot...
I've got a stock s3 sph l710, nd8, android 4.4.2.
I have read many threads on rooting without a computer.
I am down to either towelroot, or possibly poot/ministro.
Not sure about poot.
Anyway, I will try towelroot.
I'll let you know if it works...
success!
I have successfully rooted my galaxy s3, sph l710, kk 4.4.2, nd8.
I used towelroot from the geohot web site.
Not the one from towelroot.org.
I then installed SuperSU by Chainfire, and Busybox (still not sure what that does).
I had heard that the update of SuperSU WRECKS data on sd cards. I have not let it update yet, so far it is ok.
So towelroot worked for me.
Good luck.

As long as you're on stock ND8 towelroot works. If you're on the new NJ2. It will not as Samsung patched the vulnerabilities to do this. Remember that Towel Root can only be used on supported devices with kernels dates before June of 2014
failure...
I had successfully rooted my s3 sph l710.
Then I foolishly allowed the system update you install.
Now I have the newer nj2 thingy and towelroot no longer works on my phone!
HELP!
I do not have a computer and need to figure out how to root this sucker again.
Any newer suggestions?
Thanks.
still looking for root options, no computer
I tried framawith no success.
Towelroot no longer works with nj2 update.
I can not get poot to work on any device.
HELP!!!!!
I do not have admin rights on my house pc, therefore I can not install programs on it. So I can not use it to root my phone.
I need a solution that does not use a pc.
Thanks in advance.
Samsung galaxy s3 sph-l710 nj2
Still looking for a root option without needing a computer.
I do not have admin rights on my house computer, so I can not install programs...
I have an s3 that I had root on...but I allowed it to update and now it has nj2 instead of nd8 and towelroot no longer works.
I have tried frama, masterboot, poot.
None of them work.
Need a solution!
Any help.
Will work for root.
Thanks.

Anything new available?
hello , my galaxy s3 is at 4.3 and imei locked but my sim is working fine with no problem beside the mmi (which i solved it ), i want to root my phone but without trip Knox counter and i have a Q : if i did something wrong in the proses of rooting , what should i do ? and is there by any chance that sim will not work if i used kies to reinstall 4.3 ?
thank u for helping
Unfortuantly, there is no way to root your phone without tripping the KNOX counter. You can make backups before you root with this, and actually root with this. Good luck!
P.S, please try to improve your grammar, bad grammar pushes away support, and makes your text hard to read.
If you decide to go ahead with rooting, and the CF-Auto-Root method to which HeroCC provided the link does not work, check method two in this post |Guide|How-To| Root & Install Custom Recovery for 4.3 Update
(method one is the CF-Auto-Root manner)

I have yet to see the official AT&T kitkat update roll out where I am. Nor have I seen any TouchWiz kitkat ROMs, I wouldn't expect any until the official version or a leaked release of it is out from Samsung or AT&T. There are AOSP/AOKP based versions of kitkat available.
Hi Friends,
I am coming from a Sprint Note 3, last ROM activity more than 6 months ago. I now want to use to a GSM provider, thus I bought the T-Mobile Note 3, and am ready to get it rooted and etc.
But one simple question, in case something is changed in the last 6 months:
There is NO WAY, on Tmo Note 3, to install a Custom ROM, Recovery, and/or themes WITHOUT tripping the Knox counter, correct?
I only ask because I thought in the ATT version they're able to use Safe Strap or something...
Thank you!

If your new Tmobile Note 3 has not been upgraded to Android 4.4.2
and your baseband it "N900TUVUBMI7" then you are in luck!
If the above is true then your note 3 has not caught the knox pox yet
and never will unless you upgrade your firmware for a newer version.
What this means is that you can root, install any themes and any custom roms
and you will not catch the knox pox, the android jellybean 4.3 N900TUVUBMI7
firmwares and stock or custom roms do not include knox in the firmware like
Kitkat 4.4.2 NB4 and NE6 updates do.
On the tmobile note 3 its super easy to root, flashing
custom roms and installing/flashing themes.
The tmobile note 3 has no safe-strap or anything like it.
Rooting is a straight forward thing which could not be
easier.
The only way to keep the knox away is not to upgrade to android 4.4.2 NB4 (or newer)
and keep the original jellybean 4.3 with baseband of N900TUVUBMI7 which hopefully
came with your new phone.
You can check the baseband easily, just go into settings and find the "About Device"
and scroll down until you see baseband and see if it's N900TUVUBMI7.
When I first bought my new note 3 it had the N900TUVUBMI7 baseband.
There is not enough difference or improvement in any of the updates available now
for someone who is really worried about warranty issues.
Once you catch knox there is no way to remove or disable it.
Personally I could care less about knox but that's just me.
Good luck!

Misterjunky, thank you SO MUCH for the very informative post! Unfortunately, the previous owner of the phone did upgrade to NB4, so it looks like I am quite screwed?
With that said, even if I do go around the Knox trip by Kies update to NE4, and then using TowelRoot, I don't suppose there is anyway to keep the Knox count to 0x0, and still get the Custom Recovery installed for ROMs and Themes, correct?
Thank you again! LOL!

Wow thanks so much i was looking for information and i was so lost.
I have the exact baseband and 4.3 . So how can i root it? I'm lost with which one cf auto root, de la vega, kingo etc. which one do you think is better for me? . my last cellphone is a note 2 from verizon. But it was so easy to root it. And the note 3 with all the stuff with knox is exploding my head x_X
I want to root because i'm in DR and i need to sim unlock the phone via region lock away, and i want to update to kitkat without any problem but with my root
Edit: i used Towelroot new root method by geohot and it worked!!!!! really awesome and fast. i used the region lock away it worked too. Now i just want to upgrade to kk without loosing my sim lock :L, any recommendations?

Upgrading the firmware/rom to a newer than NE4 or NE6 using Kies or Odin
will NOT touch the KNOX counter but it will still get KNOX if you root the
phone and flash custom roms and or kernels.
Any other rooting method beside cd-autoroot is just asking for trouble.
Unfortunatly we cannot downgrade to jellybean 4.3
There is a complicated way to ROOT NB4/NE4/NE6 official Samsung firmware
without tripping the Knox counter, but it's complicated and even after successful
root you still will not be able to flash custom roms, recoveries or kernels without
tripping the KNOX counter.
Here is a link in case you are interested in "Root De La Vega" which has step
by step instructions how to use Root De La Vega to get root access without
tripping the Knox counter:

Here is the direct download link for the proper cf-autoroot for Note 3 N900T.
http://download.chainfire.eu/354/CF-Root/CF-Auto-Root/CF-Auto-Root-hltetmo-hltetmo-smn900t.zip
1: Unzip this zip file into a NEW folder on your windows desktop.
2: Be sure you have the Samsung USB driver installed in your computer.
3: Open odin and put the cf-autoroot file in the PDA slot in odin.
4: Power down the phone.
5: Plug the USB cable from computer to your phone.
6: You should see the [com:xx] in odin change colors
7: Click RUN in odin
8: It usually takes about 5 minutes for it to flash, after it's successful the phone reboots.
That's all there is to rooting.
Good luck!
Hello my names Aaron, I rooted my galaxy tab 3 (sm-t217s) a little bit ago then unrooted just because my wifi wasnt turning on.. I had to do a stock restore through odin to get it all working again. When I did that I got the new kitkat update and gladly updated it. Now again though I want to root it so I can again do all the great things you can do with rooting!
So my questions are:
Can I root it running 4.4.2 the same way I did when I was running 4.2.2? Will it brick it if I just put on a custom recovery the same way as before and let that install superSU?
I would just like to know and if not then is there another way currently to root it?
I couldnt find anything about it that is why I am posting about it.. must not be a very common tablet?
Anyways thanks for your time and help!

Either use towelroot to root from within android or you can still flash twrp from Odin and root that way. Twrp may set warranty bit, mine was was already tripped so I can't say dor sure if it does.

I used towel root on4.4.2 update worked great, and yes twrp does set set warrenty bit

I used towelroot on my tablet, it does what it has to do. Does not reboot, but when I use Root Checker it says that I do not have root.....any suggestions?
I was rooted with towel root fine under the June 2014 update to 4.4.2, but I mistakenly took the update to NH4 while rooted. My device seems to be fine, but I lost root and Towel root will not seem to root me again, no way, no how. My warranty bit is clean, and I don't want to trip it, but I'd love to have root back. Is there anyything I can do on NH4 from within Android to get root back? TIA
How did you do an unroot through Odin and which version of Towelroot did you use to root it again? I have the same tablet.
I have SM-T217S running Kitkay 4.4.2. I've tried almost every root app there is (Kingo, Towel, ect.). They all say my device isn't compatible. And when I go to update under settings, it says that my device is running unauthorized software and that I need to use Samsung kies to flash. But it has no root & no custom software, everything is normal. I have tried using computer to root but still nothing. What could I do to fix it?
Im on 5.1.1 G925TUVU3DOJ7. Is it possible to root 5.1.1 without tripping knox right now? Or can i downgrade to 5.0.2 by flashing stock 5.0.2 with odin then root with ping pong without tripping knox?
Also what are the best roms, kernals & other cool tweaks you recommend? Just got this phone so i would really appreciate the help, thanks have a good one.
I don't think there's a way to root without tripping KNOX right now. There was an engineering bootloader that allowed flashing without tripping KNOX, but I don't know if it still works (it might). However, this bootloader breaks the fingerprint scanner. There is no way to have an un-tripped KNOX and working fingerprint scanner at the moment, I know that for sure.

PingPong used to work, it doesn't anymore. I agree with what the other poster said about the engineering bootloader however this file was requested to be removed by samsung (sboot.bin) so good luck finding it. I think you might be onto something downgrading to a previous release, I'm not too sure but the OH6 I think is the one that I used PingPong on to gain root but I don't know if the new bootloader will let u. It should though, if it replaces the sboot.bin it should let u downgrade. I'm just not sure, this new update has caused a lot of stuff to not want to flash for me, I'm waiting on my new internet to arrive before I start messing with it anymore because my phone is my only link to the outside world. if you find out please let us know? I'm very interested in the answer.
I've heard Hacker Kernel is a really good one, people seem to love it.

If I remember correctly, PingPong only worked on 5.0.X, and once you update to 5.1.X, you are no longer able to downgrade back to 5.0.X. I think if OP is on 5.1.1 his options for root are VERY limited if he wants an in-tact KNOX, especially since you are indeed correct, and the engineering bootloader seems to have been removed.
S6 Edge frozen on G925TUVU3DOJ7
guys i need help , after flashing the rom G925TUVU3DOJ7 on my S6 Edge 925T its stuck on galaxy logo and not booting , i've trying to use unikernal but its not work i get like flashing is locked !!!
Rooting is a risky business since last update, make sure you have a good download or download again from Samsung website and try again.
Pp.
Really why is everyone so concerned about knox? All it does is make it so you can't use Samsung Pay. So use Android Pay. Set it up before you root then back it up after you root. Restore it whenever you flash a new rom and it will work. I rooted the day I got my S6 Edge which was before the Plus came out and I have never had any problems. Everyone worried about knox this and knox that has a messed up phone.
HI,,I updated firmware 5.1.1 to a rooted G925T using Smart Switch (no errors etc) now the phone is stuck on android Samsung logo so I tried to reflash the firmware many times using Odin3 the only frimware it took with no errors was (G925TUVS3DOJC) which is the last one but still the same thing stuck at Samsung logo so i searched it online and it says something wrong with EFS and has Bad Root Key it know as DRK (DEV Root Key) and don't know how to fix that. anyone can hepl plz.
