Dude, I applaud you! WELL DONE!
However - I have one comment, and one question...


1. I had NO idea you could play the guitar that well. (although you were a little off on your G)

2. Where is the "Any" key? I've looked all over my keyboard, and it's just not there.

:p

:rolleyes:

Well I rooted with this method but I have twrp installed i think you should get used to twrp I think most of us use it and it's easier in my opinion

Flash this in recovery 4ldrifta and also I recommend TWRP for recovery. But you can flash a stock rom and bypass setting up the phone by click next and not signing in to gmail.

Ok. So, i tried again with all the correct conditions, cable, debug. etc. When i run through the steps, i get up to: "Your device will reboot three or four times....
If it is not complete by 15 minutes, something has probably gone wrong."
After i press a key, i can see the commands blaze down the the screen and in the blink of an eye, im at step 2.
Then: "If you see the following error, you may ignore it....blah blah blah.. This just means there wasnt an existing root found on your phone."
After this step, the blazing fast commands fly by the screen and in the blink of an eye, im at a screen that reads, "Testing superuser... adb is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.
uid and gid should both be 0. Are they? [y/n]"

After these two steps, the last step says installing superuser apk and then rebooting but my phone doesnt react at all.

Think theres any obvious answer to my problems? or am i just unlucky like that? Should i factory reset my phone? any help is appreciated guys, thanks alot for reading and even more if you respond ;)


Update: Just rooted :) idk what was wrong but pretty much i just needed to extract my files correctly. Worked flawlessly. Almost had a heartattack becuase my laptop was low on battery during the root. Loving the community so far, during this time of trying to unlock all the potential of our phones.

I tried everything but I'm still having the same problem! Can someone help me?! I unzipped with zip7. However, I'm still stuck at the same spot! Can someone help me please!

I checked that my drivers for the phone was installed correctly and it was! I don't know what I'm doing.
 
not to bring up the past but could anyone at all tell me if you have a flashed over sprint gs3 working for metro if your suppose to root with these files or sprints?
 
Samsung has just updated my phone to Jellybean. So do I re-root the phone with the same automatic rooting tool?
