Rooting the S3
I just wanted to start a thread here on the topic of S3 rooting. I have found instructions on other sites but this has always been my home site for PPC guidance. So let's get some chatter here.
Here are some links to tutorials: How to root your Samsung Galaxy S3 | Reviews | CNET UK How to root the Samsung Galaxy S3 SPH-L710 It is still a little sticky with the locked bootloader but you can bet the XDA boys are hot on it. |
Re: Rooting the S3
I thought only the Verizon version had locked boot?

Re: Rooting the S3
I am not sure. The poster did not state his carrier. I may try to root today. I was going to wait until the 14 day trial ended but I just can't stand to have a non-rooted phone. There must be 50 Crap apps on here and it is loaded with promos.

The Sprint version was super easy. Took me 5 minuets to root & install the Blazer ROM. Loving it so far just got it today.

Yeah, I am rooted. Used the QCom tool. Pretty simple. Still on stock Rom. Looking around to see what I like.
