That's really not the greatest root you know.

As far as I know Kinga is a Windows-based utility. Since the OP refers to running a Linux box maybe try the cross-platform Heimdall:

Also, this seems to be close to what you're looking for?

I didn't think Kingo worked anymore. Which version of Android is on your phone?

Given that the poster was new and handing out random advice for a phone he doesn't own, I've elected to remove the comment as off topic.

my working root guide

Your guide doesn't work on the STS3 sch-s968c that has the H2 baseband, it only works on the H1 baseband, those with the H2 baseband have to downgrade to H1 before they can root it.

There is a post a few posts up with the guide for rooting the S3 with kernel dated after Aug 7 2014, that is what the H2 users have to do to gain root.


Also, the ROM in your guide is really old there are many ROMs for this device, most require a SIM but some don't, there are KK 4.4.4 ROMs that work without the SIM.

There is also this updated guide for the H2 that I updated the site on that explains the Odin(windows) method instead of the Hiemdall(Linux) method for those with windows, its easier with windows also.
