I used the Casual software to root my Verizon Samsung Galaxy S3, and then took the OTA update for 4.3. In the thread in the development forum, the update says it's not compatible with 4.3. So my questions are these (I'm asking here, because I don't have enough posts to reply to that thread):
1. Is anyone working on Casual to get it to work with the OTA for 4.3?
2. If so, is there an ETA or status update on the project?
3. Does anyone have instructions to root this phone (without using Casual)?
Thanks, and have a great day.
Patrick.

As the title says, just wondering if the official US rom has been released yet OTA or otherwise. I think (pretty sure) I'm running the U.K. version right now and I only have 1 minor problem which is the reminder to setup software updates doesn't work. Also, I'm thinking about giving this tablet to my GF for Christmas and getting the Galaxy Tab 7.7 for myself for the better screen.
Thanks for the help!
Bump?
If you're asking if Samsung issued an upgrade to ICS for the 7.0 Plus in the US, the answer is yes. AFAIK, it had to be installed using Kies.
I can confirm this, I just updated my tab yesterday via kies and it's now in ICS 4.04
OK cool. I'll flash back to stock and do an upgrade to the official
On a side note, I also followed the root instructions under the CWM 6.0 thread in development and it still works :good:
Hello, sorry if this question was mentioned elsewhere- the "similar threads" searched when I posted this didn't show my question.
I have a ATT samsung galaxy note 2 rooted with cf auto root.
However, I noticed that this morning an update was "postponed"- searching online, it seems that the update was the jelly bean 4.1.2.
I am from the iphone, and the main cause of breaking the root was always updating the software without getting it patched. Therefore, I was wondering if cf auto root is immune from further updates (or this one at least)? If it isn't, should I be patching it with something?
Obviously, a newb android user- any help will be appreciated. Thanks
Downloaded the toolkit from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2052779
I have the AT&T SGH-I317... unfortunately, the toolkit lists the Android version of my phone as 4.1.1, but my phone automatically downloaded and installed 4.1.2 the first time I used it the other day. My question is, do I need to wait for the toolkit to be updated with 4.1.2 for my specific phone, or alternatively, would it be safe to use the 4.1.1 version in the toolkit, or use one of the other ones listed as version 4.1.2.
I'm perfectly happy to wait if necessary. Don't want to take any chances of messing up my new phone. This will be my first rooting or unlocking of any kind. I'm an adept PC user but phones are new territory for me.
So, if someone knows how I should proceed, I'd be very grateful for the assistance. I'm asking this here because I'm a new member and can't yet post in the developer forums.
Thanks!
I haven't tried the toolkit since the latest update. I know the Sprint version has CF-Auto root. Check your thread for that one. It worked for me after the 4.1.2 update with no issues.

I've been running stock 4.1.2 on my AT&T SGH-i747 but it won't work with Bluetooth Smart devices. I saw that CyanogenMod has a 4.3 for the SGH-i747 and people were successfully using a Polar H7 heart rate monitor.
Thus began my journey into rooting the phone since it seemingly took forever for AT&T to come out with 4.1.2 (from 4.1.1).
I used ChainFire's excellent CF-Auto-Root and was searching for the stock 4.1.2 ROM before loading CM when I found, on Samsung's website, that they have released Jelly Bean 4.3.
Go to Samsung's US Support website and search for "AT&T Cell Phones: How do I update my Samsung Galaxy S® III (AT&T) to Android 4.3 Jelly Bean?"
(I can't post the link because I'm new here.)
I'm installing it onto my phone as I write this message.
I still plan to root for Titanium Backup, et al, but figured the link could help some other newbies out there.

The update size is 623.10MB so be patient...
The OTA 4.3 update worked. It took nearly an hour to download via 4G and then 15 minutes to fully install.
For the AT&T SGH-i747 the new build number is JSS15J.I747UCUEMJB.
I have been around the Android forum section and see that I was late to the party regarding the 4.3 OTA release. However, this thread should be easy for newbies to find and hopefully it will help them get started.
Newbies: go to the Android forums on this site and search for instructions on rooting your SGH-i747 4.3 OTA. There are a number of threads. I used ChainFire's CF-Auto-Root which you can also find in a forum search.
Hello all,
So, same as the title, I have wanted to root my Galaxy S3 running Android 4.3.
It is a factory unlocked device, and I am not bound to any contract/ISP/telco.
I have seen some posts in some blog that I can use Odin and CF-Auto-Root, but I am not sure if it will work or if it will add another brick in my house. I am also concerned on Samsung Knox and if anything unwanted happens if I root it.
Can anybody pinpoint me to a good tutorial here or anywhere?
