Some people (me, for one) want to remain on stock recovery for the time being... So, this is our best option.
Until the STOCK non-root image is uploaded and confirmed working on someone else's phone besides mine, i'm stuck with stock! ;)

odin flashable of stock recovery in case someone wants to revert cwm/twrp :)

please note youll need to use something liek triangle away or a usb jig (i need to buy me one of those damn things still :/)
 
What exactly are the Samsung Windows drivers supposed to do that wasn't being done before? I got the exact same thing, SCH-R530M, card and phone drive, before the drivers.
 
Tried using Triangle away to reset my counter, but it came up saying "magic header not found Incompatible device?". Don't know what that means, however triangle away worked fine on my galaxy 2 tab
 
I got my phone on 10/20/2012 like I posted in another thread....
so now I used the root on my macbook pro today (10/26/2012)
rooted like a charm
now I can get rid of the metrobloat!!!
FINALLY have the phone perform the way I want it to
thanks a lot...

Run as administrator (if on Windows)

I'm the only one that seems to have issues will try again and see
Thanks guys finally got root :D it was that I had not installed drivers correctly thanks tiede :thumbup:
 
Woow. So frustrated trying to root my s3. Just made this account :D ive been holding back but cant do it any longer! i need root! So if anyone can help me out that'd be great, really. I have my drivers installed, i checked in device manager. I downloaded the zip with the bat file and i opened it up. Ran it and it seemed to skip the actual rooting. I tried extracting the zip but its confusing for a noob like me. when i extract the files, its pretty much same thing as when i open it. Im so confused :(

P.S. go esteems
 
If you follow the instructions, you should get root. What operating system are you using? And are you going something else while trying to root? Also, make sure you use the Samsung usb cables, not any old generic ones. There actually is a chip that Samsung opted to put on their usb cords instead of the phones, which make plain old regular usb cables not able to properly maintain a connection to a pc.
 
hey man, thanks for answering. its an honor to get help from the big boys :) anyway, at first I was on an old cable but then I realized the chip thing. and im on windows 7. im gonna give it another few shots now that ive calmed down, last night I was bout to blow up
