Hey guys, I have no idea what I am doing wrong here. I have a Verizon galaxy s 3 sch-i535 running on 4.3 and I cannot root the darn thing for the life of me! I have debugging mode on, so that should not be an issue. I have tried using motochopper with an old mac of mine, Framaroot, an app called Poot, and one from China thats mostly in Chinese. I have gone through tutorials for using all of these and have failed every single time. I even tried motochopper on another sch-i535 and had no luck there too. Could anyone clue me in on what I'm doing wrong?? Thanks
You are using root methods that do not work on 4.3, you need to do more research. Go use towelroot by geohot.

Hey all. Ive been trying to root my samsung infuse for the past several hours with no success. I followed this method http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-02NrvxDZYA&feature=channel_video_title. When I run superoneclick i receive the waiting for device message at step #7.
So because SuperOneClick did not work i tried other methods. I tried this root method from DooMLoRD: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1319653
can also be found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=18615502
I copied the console text. Maybe it can help solve the problem. I've been looking to find a solution but have not found a fix, so I do apologize if its out there. Can you guys please offer some help. thank you
If you're running stock Froyo, SuperOneClick 1.9.1 will root it. Just make sure that you check the Debug mode box first.
Thanks. I tried it, but i still receive a waiting for device.
I.7 superoneclick will root it without fail....I use it EVERYTIME I go back to froyo

Am I missing something??? I tried superoneclick 1.7 and it still stopped responding and said waiting for device... ahhhhhhhhhh
I don't remember, since I haven't done this in a long while, but I believe you need to have the drivers installed first. Download samsung Kies. Then try it again.

Try another version of super one click. I used v2.2

I hope this is ok to post here, if not please let me know. Has anyone had any recent success rooting their phone through SOC? I've used it in the past to root my SD4G using the guide, but for some reason every time I try now I make it to "waiting for device" and it stops responding. I've tried using the different versions of it, different USB cables, different computers, different driver downloads, and I'm stuck. I've searched high and low the past 4 days trying to find an answer that works for me from all the posts with the same problem, but haven't had any luck. Thanks in advance

Check if your connection is working
, if you are on debugging, etc. worked for me.

I just recently switched from the Galaxy Nexus which I had rooted no problem. I'm new to this Odin thing and haven't found a guide on internet on how to root using a Mac, wondering if anyone was willing to help or had any good literature on this process to pass along. Thanks!

use virtual machine program.
For mac you will likely have to use Vm as a poster above mentioned, as odin does not exist natively for mac. Either that or use bootcamp (what i ended up doing) vm seems to be hit or miss for this odin stuff with drivers and whatnot. There was a utility for older galaxy phones called heimdall which worked on mac and it would let you flash like odin on mac though it doesn't appear to support the siii.
good luck. :good:
Ok. I'll kook into those options. Thanks a lot guys I appreciate your help so early in am

I have a question about my galaxy s3 sch-i535 model from Verizon Wireless. I have understood that it looks easiest to do this process via windows, and I have messaged and inquired with many ppl about the best way to complete this process using a mac. Is there a guide I can use to do this? I've used windows computers before to do this and have eooted a motorola bionic but I havent been successful in finding a guide for doing this. Any help would greatly be appreciated (I actually even searched this site or tried to at least). Any help would be greatly appreciated and if you want you can send me a email at [email protected] . Thanks again!

For one your in the wrong section my good ol fellow and 2 the rooting boot loader unlock procedure only works on windows. I too use Mac. So here is how to solve the issue. Do it from a windows PC or get VMWare or Parallels and run a virtual machine of windows on your Mac. Note windows installation disk, .IMG is not included. Good luck.

Yes, there are guides out there to root your S3 from a Mac. Can you search this site? Yes, you can. Can you search using the all mighty Google? No, you cannot. Please utilize ALL of your available, and free resources before posting.
Here's your answer; all of these links by searching "rooting S3 mac" on Google and youtube

Unfortunately you can't root with CASUAL on jelly bean. If on 4.1.1 OTA you have to use ODIN, unless they get Heimdall working.

So I bought this "clone": http://www.aliexpress.com/snapshot/235072448.html
It seems to work OK but I have problems to get the GPS going, it does never find any signal. I can walk around the city for hours and get nothing.
I think I need to set the GPS-time or whatever it's called but I need root for it.
How can I possibly root this phone? It isn't a real Galaxy S3, it doesnät have the exact same hardware and probably not the exact same OS either.
Anyone know?
Try some "one click root " tools.
Because, root, after all, is manage to install su binary into system

Why did you buy a clone?

You will never be able to root it, XDA don't deal with clones, flash anything from here you will brick.

asking in this section is against the rules
