never used the emulator before, sorry. Yes I've rebooted my phone several times and still have root (copying some wifi files to /system and /etc to try to get LEAP wifi working). No funky shield error popups or anything.

I loaded the 4.3 update zip from the OP. While building the flash update, I got some file warnings from odin pro since my 4.1.2 has root and modified wifi files. I did the update and the 4.3 update worked, I did check wipe data and cache since 4.1.2 to 4.3 is a big jump.

Thanks - wondering whether I should re-root with CF before doing this; I rooted on 4.1.1 with Mr. Robinson's no tripping the flash counter method http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1739426 and used Voodoo OTA to keep root when I went to 4.1.2

You didn't mention in your post - are you on stock recovery or a custom one?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] gnahc79:
I'm on CWM. It may be a good idea to re-root with autoCF, but that's a 100% guess from me.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] big_redfox:
Method 2 works

I was 4.1.2 stock rooted. I tried OTA update and it did not work. So I revert back to factory image using Kies, which is 4.1.1 instead of 4.1.2. Did the OTA it goes straight to 4.3.

Tried CF Auto-root (method 1) and it did not work for me due to Knox. Tried the method 2 and it worked.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] KarmaCamel:
Success with CF Auto Root + Knox Removal + Super SU zip

It took a few passes but I took the OTA 4.3 update, ran a Knox Removal tool, ran CF Auto Root, and installed Super SU from the zip.

For some reason after doing this once Super SU would immediately exit anyway, but after a few tries it went through and now my root is sticky through reboots. The same was happening even after running Knox removal. But I retried CF Auto Root followed by Super SU from zip, and can confirm it's working.

My suspicion is that the SuperSU dev has been hard at work getting it 4.3 ready, and that may have been the difference maker.

Nothing special but posting related threads anyway. :cyclops:

What exactly is KNOX?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] CYRAXDroid:
I did the update today (11/25/13) and I have been reading some threads about all issues with this update. Now and reading this thread is it safe to root. And and install twrp/roms. I've seen some post about knox, bricking, and not having any fixes.

I'm completely stock no root. I just updated. And so far I'm seeing that knox is the new bootloader blocker. So I'm just a little stand offish about rooting again with this new update.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] jeremyds45:
I actually seem to have a better signal but keep getting the "your wifi network is unstable" notification, never had that before.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Coonman:
I also can confirm that this root is persistent after reboot. I did the process in this order:

1. I flashed a rooted stock 4.1.1 ROM to the device using Odin (I had been running 4.1.2 but I had softbricked it... oops). There are plenty tutorials for this procedure on this forum and on the xda wiki page for this device.

2. I went through the device setup so that I could properly access my phone's filesystem.

3. I moved the stock AT&T update.zip, the Mobile Odin Pro apk file, and the ROM Manager apk file to /sdcard from their previous location, which was my external sdcard.

4. I installed the two apps.

5. I flashed CWM recovery using ROM Manager. (Mobile Odin and TWRP don't play well the way that CWMR and Mobile Odin do. Just stick with CWMR for this bit)

6. I opened up Mobile Odin Pro and selected the update.zip file. Keep that zip in /sdcard. If it's on the external it may cause problems.

7. I selected the everroot, inject superuser, inject Mobile Odin, wipe data and cache, and wipe dalvik-cache options.

8. Install!

9. Optionally disable Knox. I didn't do so until an hour or so ago and I was fine. You can also install some things like busybox to get many root apps to function properly. You probably also want a custom recovery. I'm currently using TWRP.

All of the root apps, including my terminal emulator, seem to work just as they did on 4.1.2, which had almost no issues for me.

NOTE: You NEED to use the Pro version of Mobile Odin. Some of its features (like everroot) are not available in the Lite version that appears here on xda. It supposedly works when pirated, but I suggest that you buy it like I did. It supports Chainfire, who really made this whole process possible.

Second way is working so far.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] stoobie-doo:
For those who have updated and retained root using Odin Mobile Pro, it seems everyone has had CWM or TWRP rather stock recovery. Did you see a need for the recovery to upgrade and root, or are you going to other recoveries to allow you do future mods?

Also - is everyone using ADB to disable Knox, or has anyone who has gone that road used TiBu instead to freeze it?

I have CWM only because I took a nandroid snapshot of my 4.1.2 build and want to fall back to it easily. Actually I've done it 3x now since going up to 4.3 and then back to 4.1.2. I'm messing with wifi files to get my LEAP wifi connection working at work...not a common thing.

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] gnahc79:
for flashing SuperSu and the Knox Remover you must use adb sideload when the phone is in recovery. I could never get my PC to recognize my phone when it was in TWRP recovery for some reason, but it may work for you.

2. flashed twrp via odin then boot directly into this without allowing phone to boot into the system after odin was finished isntalling

3. ran knox removal

4. updated super su via play store as it still would crash

5. opened supersu then allowed it to update binary and selected normal

6. reboot phone

7. all done and rooted

8. installed goo manager

9. reboot recovery to check if twrp was still there.....its not

10. rebooted into dl mode and reflashed twrp and let system boot

11.used goo manager to reboot recovery....twrp is now my recovery :)

Root method #2 works. Unfortunately I lost all my data after the flash cleared by internal storage.

The instructions should be clarified for step (2) - flash TWRP. After flash is complete in ODIN, it will reboot the phone. DO NOT LET THE PHONE REBOOT. As soon as the flash is complete, press and hold the Vol UP and HOME buttons, so that the phone goes into Recovery mode. The go to step (3) to flash KNOX and SU.

If the phone reboots, TWRP gets wiped off from memory. When you go to step (3) to flash SU and KNOX, it will wipe off all data. Not to mention, Root will not work.

Just flashed successfully using method #1 and updated SuperSU once the reboot finished. Everything appears to be working just fine! I did notice however that Device Status shows as Custom now, even though the counter has been reset. No harm there I guess.

Method 2 worked for me. It was a little nerve wracking as all I want from my phone is the latest update and root so I'm not as familiar with the processes as some of you are. But I managed to sort out all my issues that arose.

I tried Method 1 first and it didn't work. I'm not sure how others got it to work, to be honest. The link to CF-Autoroot installs a version of SuperSU below the necessary 1.65. Knox blocked it immediately. Is there a link somewhere that I missed?

I tried to download the latest SuperSU from Play but couldn't, and I couldn't figure out how to uninstall it. So I took a deep breath, reread my notes, and dove in to Method 2.

The only issue I had with Method 2 was updating the Binary for SuperSU. It auto rebooted into recovery and nothing happened. I couldn't tell if I was supposed to do anything and couldn't find instructions so I rebooted back into the OS and let it auto reboot again and that time it worked.

I think I got lucky

I originally flashed back to 4.1.2 from CM 10.2 M1 using Odin to return to stock. Then received the ordinary factory update to 4.3. AT&T GS3 (i747).

After reading more articles than I care to admit, and seeing that going from 4.3 to 4.3 level using CM Installer was supposed to be possible :eek:

I ran CM Installer on my factory 4.3 unrooted, stock rom.

CM Installer said it finished successfully, but upon reboot no ROM

Restart to recovery showed CWM installed successfully though, but with no root.

So I came here, read the instructions, ran method two. Success.

I'm not positive, but I think I may have dodged a bullet with using CM Installer first? I know that it's designed to be used with factory ROMs in mind, but I couldn't find anything that shows it being successful being used on a 4.3 OTA updated device that had an unmolested factory recovery and ROM.

Anyone want to chime in on whether I got lucky, or if using CM Installer is appropriate in this situation?

In any case, though, with CWM recovery and method 2, I was rooted again and am now sporting a nice stiffy. :good:

Thanks a million to everyone!

Place it on your external SD card. When you go into TWRP recovery you'll have an option to flash zip files (up to 8). Simply navigate to the SuperSU file and continue. You can do SuperSU and KnoxRemover at the same time.

While updating from 4.1.2 stock rooted I chose in Clockwork (by accident) to prevent recovery update. Then when asked by CWM if I wanted to try to keep root I hit go back which didn't go back it just restarted the phone. When the phone came up (so lucky not to brick) it had 4.3 non-rooted but ATT updater told me that install failed. Now I have CWM recovery and 4.3 non-rooted.

Rooted with CF-Auto Root method

Hi all

Just rooted successfully with method 1 or CF Auto Root method from http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1963790

This is the first time i am rooting my phone. Phone is AT&T Galaxy S3 I747. Android was 4.3

Steps followed:

1. Followed the instructions as per the thread and used Odin to install the CF-Auto root tar file.

2. Phone rebooted. (Super SU crashed. Knox showed a notification about blocking an App)

3. Went to Play store and updated Super SU.

4. Opened Super SU and updated Binary

5. Super SU notified me that Knox was installed and asked whether to disable it. and i said yes.

6. All done. Got Root access.

7. (optional) If you need custom recovery, install ROM Manager from play store and flash CWM from it.

I restarted couple of times and the root is persistent.

For people having issues with SuperSU update:

Please make sure SuperSU is not installed before this process as mentioned by fffft in http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=49485783
