Search for it in the development section. It's literally the first sticky post...

Okay but from what I'm reading I'd only be able to get voice and text...I have to have data too. I hope I can find my answer before I root my phone and spend the extra money on a new SIM and unlimited monthly prepaid plan.

I was referring to rooting being in the first sticky. This should work.

I activated my T-Mobile Phone on-line, with it having to talk to anyone.
... But... Why not just call and see? If they answer, they answer - if they don't, they're closed.

I don't know of a way to root without a pc. Casual and Odin both require a pc

I think you are out of luck if you are on a verizon device because they come with a locked bootloader. If it was for another carrier it is possible.

This MAY work on Verizon, but not ENTIRELY sure. The guy who made the thread did say it worked on Sprint and T-Mobile S3's. But this post is all that I know of that provides a rooting from phone method.

Mobile Odin requires you to already have root access to function, so unfortunately he couldn't use Mobile Odin to flash a rooted stock ROM in this case.

So, I made the switch!

Thinking about swapping my Droid DNA for a Galaxy S3 and $50. My Droid is freshly unlocked, rooted and s-off all using my Mac 10.6.8 with ADB commands. The Droid is also factory unlocked for any GSM SIM including att and T-Mobile. My issue is I can't find a way to root and unlock the S3 so I'm on the fence about swapping and of course losing this amazing Quad core krait power. Advice?

Get the S3 and to root and unlock the bootrom, you must use the Casual Rootkit. It will root your S3 and install Teamwin recovery. Trust me, it is worth it.

Go look at the Casual Toolkit thread and look at the issue I'm having. I'm the last post on there. Unless I can fix the issue, I can't get the phone because I can't root it. :/

Do you have stock ROM or a different ROM?

Because my S3 on VZW is rooted fully and Unlocked.
My Droid is custom. I haven't traded for the S3 yet because I can't get casual to run on my mac. The casual thread has the errors its giving me.

So, just traded my 3 week old DNA for a BRAND NEW S3. I'm sure I lost money on the trade but I feel at home with the S3. Now on to my problem, rooting it with a Mac or Linux (run from a live CD). advice?

Is your Mac on 10.8? If so, using Casual from Beanstown106 will work. You'll need Java 7 installed for Casual to work. I almost encourage you to use the Casual 634 from the Verizon GSIII section on Rootzwiki instead of the Casual 734 linked in the dev section of XDA. There seems to be some issues with r734 recognizing the device is connected but it can work even so.
Alternatively, you can do the manual route using Open1your1eyes0 root thread in the dev section. It requires Odin which works great on Windows, is incompatible on Mac, and idk about Linux.

No, I have 10.6.8 but if you head over to the Casual thread, you can see my issue...I posted what my terminal was telling me about the error message when I try to run Casual.

I'm not sure you'll be getting Casual to work on your setup. Maybe try the manual method by Open1your1eyes0 or the toolkit by mskip. Like I said there, if these don't work then you might want to find a spare laptop when available and knock this out.
Can I use the Odin method with heimdall?

Cause I MIGHT be able to get heimdall working on my Mac....but I have never used heimdall in the past, I've always used Odin.

Its possible, but there is no documentation/thread that I know of that goes into detail for this device. Might have to look on the other carrier models for threads. Everyone always uses Odin.

Motochopper? Wasn't that for Motorola devices? Just asking general questions, what prompted you to try that?
Yes, you do need to be unlocked to flash roms. Are you positive you are rooted? Do you have working SU or SuperSU? If so, download EZ Unlock v1.2 from Rootwiki and press unlock.
Actually, I Google "root Verizon s3 4.1.2" and his exploit works on all american galaxy s3's

now, when you say it doesn't let you register on the T-Mobile network, what do you mean? No bars? What rom, kernel, and radio are you using?
I would ask t-mobile if it was blacklisted not some random website if your worried about that and did you try a different sim card?

Well, this has happened to me before and a data/system/cache/dalvik format and then a reflash of CM 10 fixed the problem (IDK why but it did) Assuming you've already tried that I would flash back to a Samsung Official GB or ICS ROM and see if it works then.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR RETURNING TO STOCK SAMSUNG-SGH-T769 OFFICIAL FIRMWARE
So first register at www.sammobile.com, then search SGH-T769 under firmware and download the August 2012 ICS or The Feb 2013 ICS Firmware, wait for the download to finish (took me 30 minutes) then extract which ever firmware zip you downloaded then using Odin click on PDA and select the .md5 file which is located in the extracted ICS Firmware Folder that you've downloaded from sammobile.com
Download the PIT file here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1919228
Click on PIT in Odin and then select the one downloaded from the link above
then make sure re-partition isn't checked and start the flashing process after it is done flashing and reboots you'll have stock ics to root it simply follow the instructions over at the root ics stock thread found here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1919228
This will flash a custom recovery and once the recovery is flashed using Odin reboot into recovery and flash the superuser.zip then you'll have Rooted Stock ICS Firmware
*BOOT LOOP MIGHT OCCUR*
To fix boot looping after flashing stock ICS just boot into stock recovery and wipe data and cache then reboot or on custom recover wipe cache and dalvik cache reboot and you're good to go.
