Rooting samsung galaxy s3 LG8

Tried searching the forums but couldn't really find anything on this. I have the most updated firmware for my GS3, PALG8. Is the root method the same as it is for LG6 and lower or do I have to wait for someone to come out with a root method for this version?

Thank you, I wasn't sure since my last phone was the EVO4G and it had different root methods depending on the firmware version. The second method worked fine thank you =D

[Q] Need Help - loosing root

Hi guys
Been a while since I've been on the forum.
I have a Samsung Galaxy S4 - Tmobile and tripped the knox protection.
The issue I'm having is that I keep on loosing root after reboot.
This is the specs of the phone as is:
Model - GT - I9505G
Android 4.4.2
Baseband - M919UVUEMK2
Kernel [email protected] #1
Build KOT49H.08.19.2014
My phone is acting funny (loosing signal, no satelite connection on gps) so I need to root again and install a new rom and kernel. maybe update the modem.
I'm using windows 8.
Please advice where to take it on the next step.
Thank you

Update to the NH7 bootloader. Or at least reflash the stock MK2 firmware and root with CF auto root

You have a i9505G......You need firmware for that device. Not M919........
And what do you mean "loose root"? What method did you root with? I hope it was for the i9505G......

When I checked my phone now, looks like I have M919 Galaxy S4
Not sure, than maybe I've installed the wrong firmware?
Loosing root, meaning that I root the phone, than when I check it after a while is not rooted anymore.
I'll fallow this instructions and maybe that will fix it: http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s4-tmobile/help/nb4-to-nh7-firmware-upgrade-via-odin-t2880284

What you need to do is MAKE SURE you have the M919.
If indeed you do follow the guide from that you posted.

Cool. Will do so.
If the firmware showed different on the phone the hardware label model, does it mean that i've installed the wrong one in the past?

I was thinking to go with the other one ))
I fallowed the guide there and installed M919UVUFNH7_M919TMBFNH7_M919UVUFNH7_HOME.tar.md5
Now on start, was thinking to let the phone sit a little bit, but I am getting " Unfortunately, the process android.process.acore has stopped" multiple times. Like a lot of times and I keep on hitting ok.
Any idea why? Is that ok?
Should I just move on np?

Yeah I've been there but it says it's for 4.2.2 ONLY.

It's going to take some reading and research but it's noted here.

can you explain how you were able to root? I have tried Stump, IOroot, Towelroot and saferoot to no avail. I am running 4.4.2. Current version is KOT49i.vk81022b. Thanks in Advance and more thanks if you can point me in the right direction.

Towelroot worked fine for me. There's a thread for it, and it is WORK, but it can be done. I will have to wait until I get home to find and link the thread for you though. VK810, Version VK81011A, 4.2.2.

I rooted with stump root, with no issues.

Ran into issues with Stump. Towelroot worked fine, but the links to the files are down and I'm a still in noob territory. I have Dropbox, Mega, and Box. I can upload everything to either, with very simple instructions, or if you tell me where you want it, I'll get it there. I'll even zip the whole thing and email it to you if it'll help.

Here you go. Works flawlessly. Just did this again last night. This will downgrade you to 4.2.2 then just download and install towelroot, root your tablet, install SuperSU, Busybox and you're on your way.

I rooted with stump without any problems on this version. I am struggling to get twrp/cwm installed, and i believe the current loki_flash seems to not work.

Software Update

anyone else get the prompt to update the software? are you going to update?

Got it and did it 2 days ago

Same and same

probably too early to know, does anyone know if this update will affect root? coming from htc, i remember updates were frowned upon as they can make rooting more difficult.

Here you go.. Make sure you substitute the Verizon firmware for the AT&T firmware as @TechNyne66 said, the OGG firmware.. As long as it's firmware from AT&T you should be good to go.. However if it still errors out and doesn't work that means they (AT&T) have blocked it and you'll have to enter into recovery and select full system restore in order to fix it and get it back to where it is right now.. I'd first make a backup if I were you!!

If you are past the the PH4 update this is not the thread for you.
If you are still on PH4, stop trying to downgrade your bootloader, unless you are flashing a Binary 3 bootloader.
All of this has been explained within this forum. Check my profile and go to my posts. I've already wrote it all up two or three times...
