Root [Sprint/Cricket] Easier Way to Root?

[blksith0]

I just got this S3 and want to root it. The current rooting guide in the sticky seems a bit complicated.
Can I simply use this 1-click rooting method here? I have 4.1.1

Thanks

Try this Samsung Galaxy S III - QbKing77.com it's very easy.

There's always Chainfire's method if you are looking for some automated assistance.

I agree, it was very easy. compared to past phones i had to do.
easy as making a jelly and peanut butter sandwich.

easy is great...
but you dont get to see what it is really doing. valuable insight for issues that might arise in the future.

rooting my OG evo.. I had to do through many steps and edit files.
this way, i understood what was happening.. to the phone.
why it was done.
later when i was trying other things... and issues came up.
i could trouble shot the issue.
and when others here that tried to help.. i understood what they are suggesting.


easy is a two edge sword.

+1 I definitely agree

Agreed that actually learning how to root and what is going on is a good idea for your first time around. However, for anyone interested there is actually a unified root kit. Go here:

It will give you step by step instructions

Will qbking77.com's method work for JB 4.2?
Thanks.

We really don't know. 4.2 Isn't out yet for our devices. But it might seeing as how it has worked since LEN. But it might not seeing as how there is a new 'profile' type feature (having multiple users on one device - think windows users)

Not a big fan of 4.2 myself. It will be interesting to see how the different manufacturers incorporate it.

What is it that you don't like about 4.2?

Just from my experiences on the nexus 7 it can be really buggy. Even as far as custom roms/kernels go, it seems to be giving a lot of developers problems.


Multiple user profiles is kind of a neat idea on tablets because its kind of a whole family device, but as far as phones go its pretty useless.
