I was wondering if it matters about the kernal version when rooting a galaxy s3. My version is 3.0.8-743127. Also on the box their was an updated sticker. I'm new to rooting. Also what is the best safest method. Thanks for all the help.

Well, in this particular case, Google is your friend.

Thanks. I've tried this but still no joy. Maybe I should just sit tight and wait it out.

Ever think about rooting? Update whenever you want to
You can do like me when I first root my gnex download nexus root toolkit unlock boot loader and download factory image from Google "just google nexus factory image" download the one you want. Flash it using factory reset tool from tool kit and root if you want you can even relock bootloader

ppl always confuse updating the software with rooting. You DO NOT need to root your device to update it. Not at all! I also always advise not to except you really need to usr some specific app. To update your GN you just need unlocked bootloader and fastboot.exe.
I cannot post links yet but just google for android factory images and go the the google site and get the one for yakju or takju/for google wallet/.

So i had bought the sgs2 in dubai, now i live in india. Initially it used to run gingerbread and i updated it to ice cream sandwhich (over the air). Recently i updated it to jelly bean spain version via odin. I thought that odin would have rooted my phone, but after using a couple of apps which required root access did not accept my device as rooted.
I read some articles which said that rooting a phone depends on its version, country and also the current os.
Ofcourse mine is international version, but i am pretty much confused, because i bought this in dubai and running the jelly bean spain version.
I am new to this forum and a complete noob. Can anyone help me regarding this?
Thank you!

The S2 was and still is a popular device - I bet if you go to the international S2 forum there will be a guide or two.

Try : http://galaxys2root.com/
Maybe flash a rooted ROM, like Wanamlite or Neatrom. Search this forum!
Did you load superuser?
did you made a backup of your ROM ? if yes so restore it first
first do a proper backup
then root with binary4
so that u can unroot later
than if success enjoy installing custom roms
available in tons at xda
Plz don't span this forum you have a special forum..post on it or better,search a little man.

Hey all, I updated my Tab 2 the other day. It was urooted, stock pretty much just out the box. I hate the new update, is it possible to root my device on this new firmware?
I rooted my Tab 2 P5110 on the latest 4.2.2 using CF Autoroot. It's running like a dream

It was so convenient just being able to use my thumb to go back in portrait mode. Now my entire world has been messed up
I recently updated my Verizon galaxy s6 edge which WAS rooted, but the update un-rooted it. I thought it was no big deal, until pingpongroot told me that it did not support my device software. Please help! [emoji22]

Well if u update the firmware it overwrites your root. And obe have to deal with devs finding new exploits to root new fw
I fixed it by downgrading the firmware

Hey everyone,
I've been wanting to root my S5 for a while but have been unable to find a way to do so since towel root. There have been no new articles published since 2014 regarding rooting my device, and these are only for kernel version prior to June 2014.
I am running on 4.4.2 with a kernel version of Jul 22.
Is there a root available for my phone? I have been searching everywhere with no luck.
Thanks!
