Is my phone rootable? - Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III

baseband is l535vrlf2

Yes use root-66 method. Very easy. After rooting back up your imei. Also resist way to install cwm was with the ez app from market, also listed in the development thread.

Samsung Conquer SPH-D600 Stock FC17 Unroot Rom

I have been lookig for this forever and I finally found them. So I thought that I would share them to save other people trouble. You must use Odin to flash these, just google it. If you don't know how to use it then look at this guide to rooting the conquer, the concept is the same, but the files are different. I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE IF YOU BREAK/BRICK YOUR PHONE!!

Does the first link fit rooting work on the odin you posted? I think its for an earlier version of the stock rom.

Yes this version of ODIN works with the stock roms. The rom is version FC17, once installed you can update it to oFE16.

Yea that's not me. I am in no way a developer. I just posted these because i know how hard to find they are. Here is a thread of someone working n a port for CM7 for this device, he is first working on a root for FE16, then he will post it once done.

Any possability of getting some detailed instructions on how to do this? A step-by-step would be nice if that's not asking too much. I need to take the phone back to factory settings (I've gotta get rid of odin and clockwork mod as well).

[Q] Will i loose root if i update to JB from root injected ICS?

KK..like i posted before, i rooted my note using the first method. Thats is i flash a root injected ics european stock rom because i just wanted root and didnt want my count to go up. Now i want to update to jellybean via OTA. Will i loose my root? if i loose my root it means i have to use cwm recovery method, i dont want that. and there is no root injected jellybean stock rom. so please can someone tell me how to go about it? thanks
If you're rooted you can't update OTA. Simplest thing would be to install the stock rom using PC Odin and reroot using Chainfire's Exynos Abuse or just flash the rom on Mobile and Odin with root injection.

how do I do that
I suppose 3 things.
1) Search. If that's your response you don't know enough about what the risks are. Just use google. The forum isn't here to do your work for you.
2) Read. A lot. For the same reason.
3) Try saying please.
I don't want to sound like an arse but all the information you need is right here and is easy to find. It's rude to expect it of others when you can't be bothered yourself.
The thread you should start with though is probably http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2050297

Rooting without disturbing flash counter

Ok.. I was seeing the sticky on how to root. The first method says that it allows you to root without changing the flas counter. But zedomax said he doesn't recommend it anymore. Is it safe to use? Im currently on 4.1.2.
Thanks.

FIRMWARE UPDATE PDA:MC2 / CSC:MC2 (XAR) 4/11/2013 What is this?

As stated above I just received an update to my 8013 which was already running 4.1.2. Does anyone know what this is? Once updating I lost root and have yet to find a way to re-root. The method i was trying previously fails each time. this way : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cv8440QhHsw
Anyone know what this update is/does and how to re root once updated? Thanks
My note downloaded this overnight and I installed it today. I suspect these may be more minor security tweeks. Lookout reported that 3 apps (screensaver and two others, not individually identified) were updated and were safe. I've not noticed any significant changes.
Were you able to obtain root? And if so how?
Sorry, I'm not rooted. Were you using the one-click method?
I am rooted. I used mobile odin pro to install firmware. I set it to inject root, mobile odin, su. Cannot see differences yet, but still rooted.

You just root the same way you did previously. It should work fine.
Is there anyway to update and keep root? Has anyone tried this update with mobile odin pro's "ever-root" feature? I would prefer not have to use the original method I used to root because it increases flash count and it's annoying to have to go through the process of removing the count.
Or could someone upload an odexed completely stock version?

as for your triangle count, thats easy. Just use TRIANGLE AWAY from the play store...
I had already read the first post but it didn't say anything about having tried to use mobile odin to update and keep root which is why I posted my question. Plus as I mentioned I would prefer not to have to go through the whole triangle away process. I always wind up having to flash a new firmware and do a complete restore in order to remove the 1 binary count even after using triangle away. That's a short explanation of the whole process I always have to go through and it takes a long time.
If it was quick, I wouldn't be asking how to update and keep root.

Just to be clear, if your gs3 has the official 4.3 on it, you CANNOT unlock the bootloader. You WILL brick your phone if you try.
Safer not to mess with it at this point imho

I definitely appreciate but cyanogrnmod is why I bought the phone. .. I'd there a way to possibly uninstall the update in that case or would I pay much have to wait till cyanogenmod comes or with something to get around Knox? Truthfully a good reputable stock android feel Rom installer would be nice but I'm super noob status when it comes to this and would appreciate any assistance

I have just received a replacement phone. I have gone about the ways I rooted previously and none of them are working. This did NOT come with 4.3 from the factory, and the 4.3 update is not installed. I reverted back to stock from android recovery, so 4.0.4 is on there right now. But no matter what I do, whether it's the one click method, the GS3 toolkit format, or manually trying to gain root through recovery, nothing works. On the "downloading" screen that you need during use of ODIN, it says "SECURE CHECK FAIL", and it'll either have "boot" after it, or "kernel". Anyone have any ideas? As of this moment I have no working phone. Looking for some help asap. Thank you guys.

Try to Odin flash factory 4.1.2 and see if the secure check turn to "enabled". If it's then try to root again.
I just Odin flashed a stock 4.1.2 ROM actually. It's booting up normally now. It honestly seems like they added a layer of protection on the newly distributed handsets. I will try to go through the normal 1 click method again and see if that works. How would I check if the secure check is still enabled?
Actually, no, it's still 4.0.4 but I'm going to try the same thing just with a different 1 click method.
Looks like the really old way worked. With the ez-unlock and ez-recovery. I had to completely demolish what was there when it was sent to me, though. So anyone who gets a replacement, the best bet is to flash a fresh 4.1.2 ROM or 4.0.4 ROM immediately, boot back up and go from there.
