No. You need a computer.

Too bad you weren't rooted because rom manager would have been the ticket
BEST DAMN PHONE BECAUSE WE HAVE THE BEST DAMN DEVELOPERS!
You may be able to actually. Brainmaster made a flashable cwm it doesn't work for me sadly. It may work for you though. Give it a shot
I'd post a link but I'm on tapatalk. Search the nexus development forum.

WRONG SECTION!!!
Here
Verizon S3 has a locked bootloader.
No root yet.
Any words or rumors from devs ? Really like the phone but no root might be a deal breaker for me

Search for one click root, that will take all the steps for you, including custom recovery.

Lost Root

I had root custom cwm recovery had JB ROM installed and flashed solid ice 2.0 and booted up. Once in tried installing ROM toolbox and couldn't get root access. I still have custom recovery and super user but I have no root access. I did searches and followed all instructions but couldn't find anything on my current situation. I've never flashed a ROM and lost root. I'm on sprint but have my girlfriends s3 rooted on Verizon. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

When I lost root on my galaxy nexus, I just restored a nandroid backup and I was back in business. That should work assuming you have a previous backup.
Try opening SuperUser and updating your binaries.

Thanks but I have no option in super user to update binary.

In super user store to the left. You should see some green and possibly Red writing. Touch there and you now have the iron to update binaries.

yes you do...open super user, slide your screen to the left, under the info tab look down and tap update binary...so easy a
caveman can do it!
Haha, not on this version Just says it's out of date. I think there's some kind of a flashable zip to update right now.

Just for clarity for future users who stumble on this thread, which method worked: updating your binaries or installing whatever is in the dropbox link?
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda app-developers app
Yes it was the flashable zip that kintwofan was so cool as to post. That's what enabled me to update binaries on the version I'm on. Great idea, that's why I wanted reply with the success but I should have clarified

Any ROM you flash will have no effect on the unlock.
