So anyone tried this yet? Saw it on Redmond first (http://www.redmondpie.com/kingo-and...ck-root-solution-for-various-android-devices/) then went here . . . www.majorgeeks.com/files/details/kingo_android_root.html
Trying to warranty my crappy S4 with MF3 again so decided to try it and it worked fine. Phone is rooted.
Good to know!

edit : this was a stock phone i purchased, with MF3, and is now rooted, thank you!
edit : how has this post not blown up yet? LOL, so easy, literally you plug it in and root.
Yeah no kidding. Could have used this before I went in to att to exchange for a MDL...

Kango Root
Works on Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 and on Window 8.1 64 RTM. My S4 was previously rooted using the method for MF3.
So I did this. Gave me root. Awesome. I then put Safestrap on my phone. I made a Rom-slot. Can I then install the MDL odin file after activating the Rom-slot?

I suggest you take as much time as needed to read all of the "pinned" threads in the General and Q & A sections. Then, if you can't get your phone to boot, or if your stock recovery doesn't work, take the phone to a Best Buy that has a Samsung Experience booth and try to get them to re-flash stock MF3 for you. If you read the threads and get Best Buy / Samsung to re-flash it for you, you should be OK. If you decide to not do the reading, I suggest you don't do anything to the phone except use it as AT&T intends you to use it. Good luck.

So yesterday I was running cm9 and I decided to flash a different Rom so I went onto recovery and wipe the phone and then went ahead and flashed
The redemption rom. I went ahead and waited for about 10 minutes to see if it works reboot the samsung logo came on last for like 2 seconds then the screen went blank. So now I into Odin to see if I could flash the Stock image.. when I tried that the first step goes through then I go to the second step and it fails. Here are some pics of my computer and my phone. Please help.

Never ever do that, get your sources from here, you might have repartioned your phone which is not recoverable. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1762709 go here and scroll down to return to stock.
L710 is the model number of the Sprint GSIII. Hopefully you can get it back with section 2 of the link posted above.
If that doesn't work use http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1840030 and it will unbrick your phone.
It looks like your are right ... I wanna thank you for pointing out that I was trying to install the sprint version and not the Verizon version. What relief... Thank you again.

Glad you got it working again. Just so happened to recognize the L710 model number from modifying the build.prop to get Google Wallet working. Always be sure that anything you flash for the Galaxy SIII is for the Verizon specific I535. They all look the same but can put you up #(*%*'s creek if you're not careful. I'd suggest avoiding anything that's not specifically in the Verizon Galaxy SIII sub-forums.

So guessing your phone is back to fully functional again? Good to hear.
I rooted my S4 after it was hit with the MF3 update with the new root method posted last month. I have read that it cannot be unrooted. having said that, I wanted to unroot. This is how I approached it.
I went to a best buy store where they had a Samsung kiosk. On the counter, I saw a laptop which had a program for re-flashing to factory firmware. The guy kindly re-flashed my phone with the MF3. At first it said it was already installed but it gave the option of continuing. After the re-flash, I tried the su apps and the did not work anymore. So, whether it totally worked or not, i don't know. but that's my story hope it helps you.
Did you get a look at the program he was using? Any name or anything

Dont know why Samsung would care. AT&T is the one locking the phones up. Maybe I will take a ride to the Samsung kiosk and see what I can talk them into . Who knows ? I will let everyone know later. If they do it, I will SURE try to see what they are using, and the process... ! I will be sure to let everyone know .

Hey Guys,
going nuts over here... Tried odin method to flash NasirTech's CF_AutoRoot, it failed with "Auth Failed" on Odin. Tried cubeuncube's saferoot, that also failed saying my kernel has been patched. Can someone please point me in the right direction on how to get root on my device?
Thanks,
From what I have read you need to odin back to the previous release (ML1 I believe). Current rooting approaches do not work on NC1. You should also be posting this in the questions forum, not in general...

Some users have reported that they are still rooted. I'm almost sure it's a very small percentage that took the NC1 update that are still rooted.
My gf keeps putting off the OTA for NC1 and I told her what the "So called" benefit of updating to it and she told me, well maybe I'll be going to Canada. I told her its Realistically not for us USA users anyways lol

Ummm I wouldn't use an unreliable link. Just my personal opinion. You will hard brick if you attempt to flash anything other than a TW rom on the ML1 modem/rom. You have to flash back to ML1 from NC1 using Odin.

It is I saw it when he posted. Same thing happened to me a while back they even used my guide word for word and android file host links. I thought about breaking the links on them but then I figured it helps spread the word.
This is my first time posting so I figured sharing my successful attempt to root using towelroot would be a good starting point..
I realize someone may have already beat me to it but I wanted to let ppl know you should be able to root using the awesome new app towelroot. Things to consider though.. I was on 4.3 ML1.. This was very exciting for me as my PC will not recognize my siii so the fact I was able to do this straight from the device itself is just great news.. Didn't think I could root without a PC.. Well, until now.. This is SO AWESOME! now to install some xposed mods . Happy rooting v

Not useless. Can root, remove bloat, use ad blocker, tether, some people are using xposed, etc. Just may not be able to run any custom ROMs yet. Safestrap may work to run custom ROMs, but I have not seen an NC1 kernel module. So you would not have WiFi running safestrap on NC1.

They will hardbrick if they attempt to install CWM or TWRP on TW 4.3 or KitKat firmware. Hasn't worked before when people tried using Odin or GooManager to install custom recoveries on VRUCML1 and I'm confident it will be the same result here. I need video proof proving the opposite.
If you are referring to Towelroot, yes this will work on all three.
Hello everyone,
I have a SCH-I535 running 4.4.2 that I bricked last night after running ez-unlocker (attempting to modify the bootload) and just got it back to work after using a debrick image... I would like to know if it is possible to downgrade back to JB 4.1.2? and if so how will accomplish this since it is not letting me bypass the odin process due to a recovery failed error...
Thank you very much!

That link has been posted in these forums before. That downgrade only works on the i9300 international version, not the i535 Verizon version. The screenshot in the article you linked even shows the about phone as the i9300. This article you linked is from 8 months ago. If this worked on the Verizon version it would have been all over these forums. The article you linked even mentions how trying this process resulted in hard bricks on the AT&T version. Anyone trying this on the Verizon version will suffer the same fate.

You posted a link without even reading the details contained inside? Not a good practice. Plenty of new people who would read your description, click on the link, follow the suggestion contained in the article without also looking into the details, and brick their phone. I removed the link from my quote of you. You may want to consider removing the link from your previous post. Just saying.

Wait a week or so. I had an idea the other day and we are just now trying to put it to the test. It may unlock the bootloader, who knows! The method works on Motorola phones with the Qualcomm msm8960 chips. And guess what. The s3 has the same chip. And the exploit was directed towards that chip.

I was thinking is there a way you can hardbrick it then debrick it without having to send it off then push 4.1.2
