I have a friend that I've finally convinced to root his S3 that is on 4.3 with the NC1 baseband. What process do I need to follow to be able to do this for him? I won't have any problems with the steps, I'm just not sure where/how to proceed.

Will flahsing the ML1.tar also change the baseband or do I need a separate .tar for that as well? Also, am I correct in saying that the ML1 (4.3) bootloader can not be unlocked?
Correct.

That is mostly correct. You can downgrade back to ML1 so you can root and run safestrap, but that's it. Trying to downgrade to anything before ML1 will brick your device.

I just suggested the same thing you mentioned her to another member. At least root is available. I'm trying to convince my gf who is getting a new S3 later today because of charging issues to root hers if its on 4.1.2. She's getting a new phone in just about 4 months anyways

My wife wouldn't let me root her S3, so she's locked up on the NC1 update. She loves the display on the Samsung, but she says Android is too complicated for her and she is always complaining she doesn't know how to use the phone. We are both eligible for upgrade so I'm considering trying to convince her we should upgrade - her to the iPhone5s and me to the S5. Just not sure I want the locked down bootloader. Need to get into a store to play with one.

Well, with the way phones are getting locked down especially on Verizon, it seems the whole rooting and romming scene is kind of shrinking. It's getting to the point if you don't buy a Nexus or developer edition phone, you're going to be stuck with stock.

All, I do need to say that this skyrocket community ROCKS. I have upgraded to the HTC one M7 32gb. I will still keep my skyrocket as a backup. My main reason for upgrading is I just got some new devices that REQUIRE Bluetooth 4.0 and only work on ios or android (and I would rather use a motorola dynatac 8000x than anything from Crapple).
Shame your moving on! Too bad you got a one lol I kid good luck man

Really the dev community is bigger than the s4 and the is already a mostly working cm10.1 for it and all gsm one phones are exactly the same. You can unlock the boot loader and just flash the international rru and everything will work 100%. I spent the better part of 2 days on my choice. Anyway I do have 14 days from yesterday

You need 2 things to flash a different ruu
1) bootloader unlocked. We have that
2) S=OFF. We do not have S=OFF on any htc one even the developer edition has S=ON.\
When we get a S=OFF mod yes.

Where did you hear this? I highly doubt we're going to get the update, even if the international version is going to get it It'll be months afterwards before Verizon even thinks about pushing an update to us. They really have no incentive to push a kit-kat build to us.

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...

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 can indeed be rooted. At this point there are two options. The original method requires Odin and you go back to ML1 or there's the new method which is towel root.
However you can only flash TouchWiz roms utilizing the old method with safestrap and saferoot.

No, you cannot install AOSP ROMs with either. Towel root is root only and does not unlock the bootloader, which is needed in order to flash AOSP ROMs. Basically the same thing with safestrap since the custom ROMs you can run through safestrap have to run off the stock kernel in the stock ROM slot.

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.

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
