Root works , no triangle.

Instructions:

1) Download su.zip (many links above), unzip into \platform-tools\ inside Android SDK folder.

2) Start adb, confirm that it's working "adb devices". If not, install samsung usb drivers.

3) Do "adb reboot recovery".

4) Once in recovery, do "adb devices" again. If nothing shows up, open Device Manager on your pc, and update the driver of the android phone manually - Android Phones/Samsung/Samsung ADB. Confirm that adb works (adb devices).

5) Do "

adb push Superuser-3.0.7-efghi-signed/system /system

adb shell chmod 6755 /system/bin/su

"

6) Reboot, install Busybox (stericson) app from Play Store, run and install busybox.

You are good to go.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] teh roxxorz:
You need flash the app/binary zip in recovery, then see the first page to use adb to set the permissions.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] nabbed:
I wouldn't flash or wipe anything until OP confirms that it's safe to do it.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] teh roxxorz:
You need to start odin FIRST > place phone into download mode [hold vol up + home + power[ > connect phone to pc > run odin.

Ya I did but nothing show's up on the com port i've always had issues with my epic doing the same thing
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] bigzeak85:
did you update the drivers?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] junior619:
Yes sir uninstalled the epic driveres rebooted installed the s3 driver's i grabbed from the general section and started odin put the phone in download mode plugged it in got the device installed pop up but nothing in odin
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] nabbed:
I extracted the zip into a subfolder named "Superuser-3.0.7-efghi-signed" inside the "platform-tools" folder, which is automatically created when you install the android sdk.

Check your device manager and make sure that all the drivers are actually working.

You may have to update manually if not.

Make sure you use the proper .tar file from this thread, not from the video links.

Kies/drivers/odin are compatible with multiple devices though, so you can use those links (I think, I'm using my epic touch odin folder).

Odin flash count keeps track of how many times you flash your phone after it left the factory.

If you flash your phone it will usually void your warranty. If you ever need to return or repair your phone after you flash then your screwed. Well, some people flash the phone back to stock so the carriers don't know you have flashed it.

The Odin flash count tells the manufacture(or carrier or whoever) if the phone has ever been flashed.

If I'm not mistaken, you are allowed a certain amount of flashes before your warranty becomes completely void. But that is just something I heard. Don't take my word for it.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] kayakyakr:
Thanks for this. Got my phone rooted in about 5 minutes.

Then promptly managed to restore an invalid backup on top of something (causing a crash loop) and requiring a factory reset.

Is that a record for amount of time before someone screwed their phone up?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] ÜBER™:
It still works. It just says unsupported cuz Google cannot guarantee the security of the phone when you are rooted.

Root stock SGS3 ROM by flashing a single .zip.

I need verification from a new SGS3 owner who hasn't rooted yet. Can they follow the directions in these two pages to install CWM and root their phone? Can they provide feedback on what confused them in the instructions and how we can improve those guides?

If these instructions and the new root tool .zip works as expected, then these will replace all current root & recovery threads.

The CWM is a .tar.md5 file, to be used directly by Odin to flash the replacement recovery.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] klarthur:
I recently purchased a 32gb card for my s3 and I can't seem to get the CWM backups to store on the SD card to free up internal phone space. Is it as easy as moving the CWM folder to the SD card and then I'm done, or is it a bit more involved than that? Thank you in advance

Edit: Also, should I partition my SD card before I use it? And if so, is there a particular method that I should use to partition it? Thank you
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Skunk Ape1:
I don't see any particular reason for partitioning your sd card. As for now, cwm doesn't use your sd card. It's in the works though.

Just Flash It !!!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] klarthur:
Thank you for the response. So it would not be possible to just move the clockworkmod folder from my internal sd card to my external sd card? I had seen other posts where this was done on other phones, but I was unsure with this version of CWM
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] JoshBeach:
Correct, for now backups are stored on the internal storage. until devs can change the backup storage location to external SD, they will be stored internal. you can however use a program like root explorer or ES File manager to move them to external, however, subsequent backups will continue to be stored internally until you install a different version of CWM that supports backups to external SD.

keep in mind you cannot restore a backup that is saved on external either. you wold need to move the backup back to internal storage to restore it. AFAIK.

Happy Flashing. :-)

Awesome news! I take it that flashing this with Odin will remove root. Is this correct? Is there any chance this comes out in a zip file that doesn't break root? If so, I may wait as I already have root and there is no compelling reason to update since the development is currently stalled.

This will not remove root. It only replaces the cwm recovery.

Thanks for the quick reply but I have one more quick question. Does the .MD5 need to be removed from the file name? I was under the impression that files flashed in Odin should end in the .tar extension.

Leave the .md5 extension. Odin will then verify the md5sum before flashing.

how long does the s3 take to do a back up?

is anyone else not able to make a back up?

ive let mine go for about 20 minutes and it finally spit out an error.

it was trying to back up data and it hung up for a while.

there error message was ''Error while making a backup image of /data!''

i checked to see if there was an error log but there was none.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] bbelos:
I don't have any troubles here. What steps are you taking to mount your sdcard? Internal or external?

A new version has been uploaded, CWM-SGS3-LTE-v3. Although I have gone back and tested v2 again, and it still works for me. For anyone not having trouble on v2, there should be no need to update to v3.

As far as backups go, I believe the problem is this: Since the internal sdcard is actually located at /data/media, it is being backed up along with /data in a CWM backup. Thus, each subsequent backup includes ALL the previous backups resulting in a an increasingly massive data.ext4.tar file, as well as taking up that much more time. It wouldn't take many backups to fill up your space. I would recommend moving any backups you'd like to save to the external sdcard, and deleting old backups. Also move anything else you don't need to save internally to the external sdcard, then try again.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Jeffbucc:
Does the card being formatted as exfat have anything to do with CWM not recognizing the card? If so, that is the issue I'm guessing.

I can reformat if needed but rather get a confirmation so I don't need to take so long re-uploading my music library to the sdcard.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Skunk Ape1:
That's a damned good question. I left mine as is (fat32) and am not having the same issue.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Jeffbucc:
Yup looks like that is the issue, just dusted off my old 8gb sdcard from my EVO which is formatted as fat32 and it backed up perfectly.

CWMv3 allows user to select 'backup' or else 'backup to internal memory,' your choice......if you select 'backup' it stores your backup to the sd card: ie '1970-01-01.07.43.16,' a 1.25gb file stored in the sd card, works for me. ;)

Do you know if people are working on CM7 internal for the 8GB?

Or would the general suggestion be to get rid of the 8GB and get a 16GB?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] DavDoc:
As far as the 8G vs the 16G NT........ ya, if you have the means, I would trade it in for the upgrade. You have a lot more support for the 16G versus the 8G NT. Also there are a lot more options open to you in terms of ROMs and modifications.

The 8G NT doesn't have an internal build for CM7 based, it seems, on timing. The development work for that ROM started some time in Jan or Feb and the 8G model didn't come out until Mar when CM7 was, by then, in its final stages of the alpha release.

I don't think there is any further work being done on CM7, for the 8G or the 16G - I don't know first hand, just going off how quiet the development threads have been. Most of the effort seems to be going towards the development of CM9, of which there is an internal build available for the 8G NT.
