I Can't root my samsung galaxy s3 T—mobile sgh T-999 . I used all the methods showing in youtube... can anybody help me?
Everything you need is here. Lots of threads with instructions on how to root. If you are on 4.3 firmware, use towel root. (I have a thread in the General section)
Otherwise read the sticky threads for more links and info. Another option is root66. See my firmware thread stickied in development for more on that. If you have specific questions I'll be glad to try to help. Don't take it the wrong way, but a quick search and read through the sticky threads should find several how to's. There's just not much point in rewriting a tutorial that's been written dozens of times already.
I hope that helps you get started!

Oy vey. Once again, as I told someone in another thread, PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE read the stickied posts before you create a new thread. There's a really well-titled one you should read in particular: Don't Start A New Thread - HTC Espresso:MyTouch 3G Slide Questions & Answers Here!
And this should have really been posted in the Slide Q&A Forum...
But, with that said, these rooting instructions work perfectly fine on a Mac.
Below is a video tutorial on how to root the Galaxy S II LTE (SGH-I727R) for Rogers, its posted here because the mentioned phone doesn't have its own forum section for some odd reason.
Q: Who can follow this root method?
A: Only people using the Galaxy S II LTE for Rogers, it must be the SGH-I727R and running Android Gingerbread 2.3.5
If I have a problem during the process do I contact you?
A: No, please do not contact or ask me for help since I didn't develop this root method, I merely created this video to simplify things. The original instructions can be found here.
I take no credit for this root method, as mentioned above I made this video to simplify things. Rooting your device could possibly damage it, follow the instructions at your own risk, do not ask me for help I am not the developer. Want to thank me? Login and hit the "Thanks" button, hope this helps someone out there.

I just got T999L ( i believe the LTE version). i want to know if the process of rooting is the same with regular t999 and what the easiest way to root? Thanks
You're asking a question, so you should have posted in the Q&A section.
Read this thread, you'll find what you need:

Hey guys, before I begin, I've attempted to search the forums & I've been unable to find an adequate answer, so if there is an answer out there to my question & I missed it, my bad.
My question is thus. I have a Galaxy S3 LTE, model sgh-t99L T-Mobile branded & I'm considering rooting & installing a custom rom. I have done this previously with a HTC Sensation 4g successfully & I'm comfortable with the procedure. However, I've been unable to find any information on if it is possible to root the T-Mo S3 LTE model, if there is a way to restore the device to stock after rooting it, and the necessary tools to do so.
I'm happy with my device as is, but I like to tweak things, so I'd like to at least know if its possible to root my device & if anyone would be able to point me in the right direction.
*Note at the time of posting this, the search feature was "unavailable"*
Thank you guys for your assistance

Ok, first thing you need to know is this is a question, and as such should be asked in Q&A. Also if you were to look in Q&A you would find a dedicated thread for the T999L that is almost always on the first page. And if you read the stickies you would find a link to it in the roll-up thread.
Not lecturing, just helping so you know for the future. Also, when xda search is down, you can Google "xda T999L info" or similar and it should show up.
Your questions are already answered in that thread btw. Link is also in my Sig.

Thank you for the insight & pointing me in the right direction.
I own a T-Mobile Galaxy S3 (SGH-T999L). I would like to root it for tasker. And other cool things I here about it. I looked up techzilla and found this web page. I looked for phone and provider (T-mobile) and here is where my snag is. On this link http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s3-t-mobile In bold I see T999. I have T999L. I don't know if the video method on the lower portion of the page would work in my favor. Please help thank you.
Easiest method is to use root66, its prerooted firmware and there is a section for the t999l, I believe in the general thread, if not just search and you will find it

Welcome to the club! The root66 firmware serio22 mentioned is in Android Development. Easiest way to find it though is in my firmware thread which is stickied at the top of that section (and linked in my sig). You can download the firmware there but if you want to check out the original thread (recommended) by mrRobinson, just click on the root66 heading in my thread.
Tip: make sure you check out all the sticky threads in each section. There is a lot of great info in them that will help you get started! As with anything here, try to get as far as you can on your own, but if you get stuck or are unsure of something and can't find an answer by searching, feel free to ask. There are several folks here who are always happy to help, so long as you are willing to first try to help yourself!
Good luck and have fun!!!
