[Completed] How do I root GS3 on Linux Xubuntu with Heimdall? - XDA Assist

So I have a phone different than most people. See.. I have a Samsung Galaxy S3 SGH-1747m, but most rooting tutorials are GT-I9300, I cannot seem to find any way to root my version of the Samsung Galaxy S3. I was wondering if there was a way I can root and flash my phone in linux with Heimdall. And also I am not good with coding in terminal so I really hope someone explains to me in a simple way. I do not have Heimdall downloaded but I will first show my version of my linux so that I download the right one.
DISTRIB_ID=Ubuntu
DISTRIB_RELEASE=14.04
DISTRIB_CODENAME=trusty
DISTRIB_DESCRIPTION="Ubuntu 14.04.2 LTS"
NAME="Ubuntu"
VERSION="14.04.2 LTS, Trusty Tahr"
ID=ubuntu
ID_LIKE=debian
PRETTY_NAME="Ubuntu 14.04.2 LTS"
VERSION_ID="14.04"
My phone version is 4.4.2.
In terms of roms, I do not know anything about them, so I just would say, whatever is the best rom, I would use it.
So yeah, I just need help from someone experienced with Heimdall and Linux that could help me root and flash my phone. Thanks in advance if you guys help me

[Completed] NEED HELP with ROOT/ others S3 Mini

I want to give my S3 Mini Root Access to potentially start installing Custom Roms. However, researching the topic has gotten extremely confusing. I have the international version but I don't know from which country. I got it off Amazon.com. My questions are
1. How do I go about giving this S3 Mini root Access
2. How do I go back to the Stock ( Samsung FW/ Rom if I do not like the Rom I installed)
3. Are there easy methods to rooting with a MAC device? ( My main computer but I can find access to a windows computer if needed)

Any help or information will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks for the quick reply. I was able to root my phone. Now my question is that I would like to run a lag free system. Would changing the Rom fix that? Will I lose any features on my phone? I want a rom that is Simple ( google edition phone/ no bloatware) My current system is 4.2.1, would I need to stay on 4.2.1 to keep my features or that doesnt matter.
Please post that question in Galaxy S III Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting so that the right experts may help you.

Although you don't want to hear it, easiest way to root your device IMO is with [root][port][p600] cf-auto root by BeansTown106.
But it needs a PC.
I fond this thread about an alternative rooting method: ROOT+SuperSU+Xposed P605 4.4.2 without tripping KNOX by no.0ne.
It seems to be originally for the SM-P605, but it should work the same (basically) for your device.
So if you are still on an old KitKat (Android 4.4.2) firmware, you may be able to root with TowelRoot app ... without a PC.
If not, you will need a PC for flashing an older stock firmware first.
Best to ask in the Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting forum.
Good luck !

[Completed] Point me to a recover and a ROM... PLEASE!?

I'm trying to figure this out, but I'm getting tangled up in my underpants. I just want to salvage my old Galaxy Tab 10.1 P7510. It is old and slow and stupid. I've managed to put TWRP 2.2.0 on it, but that is it. I try to find a nice new shiny ROM, but get overwhelmed quickly. I thought I found one, but it needs a newer TWRP to install it, which I can't seem to find. Can someone just point me to a working TWRP (or CM) and a ROM that will work on this old tab? I will try to install them without asking too much help. Although I'm not sure when to and when not to check USB debugging box during the process. Anyone, anyone? Thanks.

[Completed] Rooting Samsung S3

I want to flash my S3, as it just came back from the shop with superuser installed, I assume it's rooted?(not sure)
.I have downloaded, odin, kies and the usb driver. I'm also downloading the rom [ROM][364MB][NB6]Revolutionary S5 V3.
Are they anything which I will need? I sorta rooted/flashed some devices before but that was long ago but I dont remember it too clearly. And also, the rom has a Patch V3 fix, which I do not know how to do use it, or if it is necessary to use it.
Appreciate any help I can get!
