You download it on your phone not your PC. Its an app. Its not a Trojan, it uses an exploit (hack) to gain root. Just like all root exploits. Thousands of people use it to root their phones. It will root any phone with a kernel made before like June of this year. So if you haven't had an update since then it will work. Or just do it manually with Odin. Use Odin to install Twrp, use Twrp to install supersu, done. Follow the same instructions as all other s3's on this site. You can follow the one in the virgin mobile rooting for noobs. Just use the Twrp tar I linked earlier instead of philz. But same Odin and same SuperSU. Either method. Both are fine and easy.For some reason my computer says it's a Trojan :/
Mcafee didn't allow it...

here is the thread. Just skip down to where it says Root mk5. And don't use that philz file, use the Twrp one I linked before. Everything else is exactly the same. And don't worry about it says mk5, or about Knox, or it says 4.3. It works. Its how you root all s3's (except Verizon)
twrp is better. But yes you can. Just make sure you get the right one. also twrp installs su binaries automatically the first time you use it. If you would have just taken my advice you would have rooted already, twice. lol. I'm going to tag out on this one. I'm going to bed. Good luck.!
Towelroot is not recovery. TWRP is recovery. Team Win Recovery Project. Once you install a recovery with Odin and root by installing SuperSU, you can install any recovery image with the app flashify. Its simple, just get any recovery image, open flashify and choose install recovery. Once rooted, you can do or change anything. Roms, recovery, kernels, anything.I already have a clockwork mod recovery installed on my laptop ready to go, it's for the AT & T varient though, and I didn't know towelroot was a recovery as well, I thought it was just an app that rooted your phone...

All this just indicates to me that some people should just make do with a working phone lol
Also if memory serves me right androidlover9's phone was actually rooted once and it was a VERY long hard slog to get it unrooted and back to stock!
Of course it's your phone, do with it as you will but a lot of reading needs to go into this, otherwise if things don't work out you will be stuck, again.
