Root [International] Root without PC - so it DOES work

I have been searching the forums on and off to find out if you can root the S3 without a PC / Mac and all entries I found say categorily "no".

However, the tool "Framaroot" does work .. You have the choice of two SU apps and multiple possible exploits it can use.

I received a brand new International S3 with latest updates and it does work on it too (installing SuperUser and using 'Aragorn' as exploit).

I won't post the file or tell you where to find it - because it is not my tool and neither do I want to responsible for you to brick your device (obviously use it at your own risk). But google'll help you.

All I can say is - I am happy - no driver / odin stuff needed.

Rooted using Framaroot, installed mobile odin to patch custom recovery then using custom recovery to flash new rom - done :)
 
Exploits like these are always closed as quickly as possible by manufacturers/google.


You should NEED to use a computer to root. Having holes that applications can exploit is just a huge privacy concern, because any apps that use it now have access to all of your data.

You'd be suprised what sorts of things are accessible
 
There will always be exploits I guess. I mean which iPhone didn't have jailbreaks available, some iOS could be hacked even by visiting a website.
