[Galaxy S III General] xSpeced:
Hello, as XDA has helped me when I first got into Android, I would like to show my appreciation and contribute back to XDA :) and because I see people bricking (even hardbricking) their S3 everyday.​

Samsung Galaxy S3 - GT-I9300 - SHW-M440S​

Standard Disclaimer

​

I, XDA or anyone else is NOT responsible for whatever happens to you or your device by following this guide. If you have problems/issues, ask politely and XDA and myself will try our best to help you out. You will not receive help from me or XDA if you cannot type/speak in a proper manner with decent english. Happy Rooting :) Oh yeah, if your device is somehow wiped, it is not my problem, make a backup. This will void your warranty.​

What is and why ROOT?

​

By rooting your phone, essentially means to give yourself superuser/administrator access on it. This is being the highest level of administrator on the device. This allows you to change the interface of your phone. Once your phone is "rooted" you can install custom ROMs (they look alot like themes, just google the name and you'll see plenty of examples). You can also download applications that require ROOT for use on the device.

Tools Needed​

Extract everything (except CF_Root/CWM Tar) - If you see recovery.img, then you've done something wrong.

Open up ODIN

Click PDA

Select the CWM.tar or CF-Root file

Check at least THREE times to make sure everything is on default - ESPECIALLY FOR RE-PARTIONING. Make sure it is NOT checked.

Connect your device in download mode ( Hold Home, Vol DOWN, and power with device initially off )

Check for "Added!!" in ODIN

Click Start (In ODIN, not the Windows Taskbar =.=)

Let it flash away, - DO NOT UNPLUG OR DO STUPID THINGS

Check which method you use and follow the next part.

If you used CF-ROOT, you are done. Just boot back up.

If you used the CWM.tar, follow "CWM.tar Rooting Method".

Optionally, use Triangle Away to reset the Custom Download Counter.

CWM.tar Rooting Method​
