There is no need for this, as there are numerous resources already available on how to root a Samsung device. Also, the methods described in your guide do not work for all Samsung Galaxy devices, and can be harmful to some devices. Unless you've actually fully vetted the methods you are posting, it's best not to post a guide.

Mar 29, 2013 Ξ57 CommentsRoot and Install CWM Recovery on Verizon Galaxy S3 SCH-I535 Android 4.1.1/4.1.2
posted by Rakesh Shukla
Rooting an Android device has many privileges. Having rooted your phone once, you are able to use third-party custom ROMs and mods that require a custom recovery to be installed. Besides, there are hundreds,or say thousands, of app that are capable of doing wondrous things and enhance your phones performance and usability. But this humble eulogy of rooting cannot undermine the hazards associated with it.
Rooting a Samsung Galaxy device is much easier than rooting any device manufactured by other OEMs but when it comes to rooting a Samsung phone from Verizon, things get a little more complicated and rounded. However, complicated it might be, it cannot stop our great Devs to crack the nut. All props and credit for the method described here goes to XDA member open1your1eyes0.
Disclaimer:
Please note that the procedure of unlocking the bootloader, rooting and installing a custom recovery on your Verizon Galaxy S3 SCH-I535 is considered risky. Moreover, it will also void the warranty of your phone. Proceed only when you are sure what you are going to do and understand the seriousness of things. More than anything, be careful while following the steps.
Looking for Rooting Tutorial for Some Other S3 Variant?
Take a look all Galaxy S3 rooting tutorials here.
Prerequisites:
•Charge your phone to have at least 60% of battery juice.
•Rooting does not wipe any data from your phone but we would strongly recommend that you backup all your contacts, messages, call-log, apps, etc. Here are some good free apps to help you with backing up your data.
•Put your device in USB Debugging mode from Settings> Developer Options>
Required Downloads:
Since this tutorial is for Galaxy S3 I535 on Android 4.1.1 and 4.1.2 both, download the files accordingly- only different being the stock bootchain file. For the sake of convenience put all the downloaded files in one folder.
These are important but mandatory files. If you have them, just skip:
•Download the Odin tool and extract the zip on your desktop: Odin3-v3.07.zip – Mirror
•Download Samsung USB Drivers and install on your computer. Skip if you already have it: Download
These two files are meant to be downloaded by all:
•Download the custom Bootchain file: VRALEC.bootchain.tar.md5 – Mirror
•Download CWM Recovery: CWM6023TouchVZW.tar.md5 — Mirror
Download one of the following files depending on what you want:
•Download SuperSU file (for Root Only): CWM-SuperSU-v0.99.zip
•Download SuperUser file to (Root and Unlock Bootloader both): SuperSU_Bootloader_FIXED.zip — Mirror
Download one of the following bootchain files depending on firmware version of your Galaxy S3 SCH-I535:
•Bootchain file for VRBLK3 (Jelly Bean 4.1.1): VRBLK3_Bootchain.tar.md5 — Mirror
•Bootchain file for VRBMB1 (Jelly Bean 4.1.2): VRBMB1_Bootchain.tar.md5 — Mirror
Root, Unlock Bootloader and Install CWM:
Already made the preparations and downloaded the required stuff? It’s action time now. Be careful and proceed.
1.Copy the “SuperSU_Bootloader_FIXED.zip” file to your phone’s internal or external SD card.
2.Turn off your Galaxy S3 and boot it into Download mode: hold the Volume Down + Home + Power buttons simultaneously for a few seconds till you see a warning screen asking you to press Volume Up key to continue. Pressing this key will take you to Download or Odin mode.
3.Open the Odin folder and run the .exe file present there and then connect your Galaxy S3 to PC via USB cable. Wait till Odin detects your device and you see ID:COM port turning Blue and “Added!!” text at the message box below.
4.Now we will flash the custom bootchain file so make sure that “Auto Reboot” and “F Reset Time” are selected on Odin. Then click the PDA button and select the “VRALEC.bootchain.tar.md5″ file and click on “Start” button on Odin.
5.The bootchain file will be flashed in a few seconds and you will see “RESET!!” message with blue signal. Your phone will reboot automatically. Close the Odin window and disconnect the USB cable.
6.Now you need to install the ClockworkMod touch recovery. To install it, boot the phone into Download mode again (as you did in Step #2 above).
7.Relaunch the Odin, connect the phone using the cable and uncheck the “Auto Reboot” option on Odin.
8.Click on the PDA button, select the “CWM6023TouchVZW.tar.md5″ file and hit the “Start” button.
9.CWM Recovery will be flashed to your phone followed by “PASS!!”. This time your phone will not reboot automatically. Close the Odin window.
10.Now pull out the back cover of the phone and remove the battery. Place the battery to its place after about 30 seconds.
11.Then boot the phone into ClockworkMod recovery mode. To do this, hold the Volume Up + Home + Power buttons simultaneously. Keep the 3 keys pressed till your phone vibrates and when it does, release the Power button but keep the other 2 keys pressed till you a gray background with blue text the clockworkmod recovery written on the top of the screen.
12.Since it’s touch recovery, you can either select options by tapping, or using the volume and power keys.
13.Okay, now go to “install zip from sdcard> choose zip from sdcard” and select the “SuperSU_Bootloader_FIXED.zip” file.
14.Confirm your choice by selecting “yes’ and let the installation finish.
15.When it’s done, go back and select “reboot system now”. But before your phone boots, pull out the battery and place it back after a few seconds.
16.Once again, and for the third time. you will have to boot the device in Download Mode. You know well how to do it.
17.Relaunch Odin, connect the phone to PC, click on PDA button and select the stock bootchain file (either VRBLK3 or VRBMB1) depending on what file you have downloaded.
18.Click the “Start” button to initiate the installation. When it is finished, the phone will reboot automatically.
So, now you have a fully rooted Verizon Galaxy S3 SCH-I535 with unlocked bootloader and ClockworkMod recovery installed. To verify the root, download any app that requires root permissions. However, there is a specific app for the purpose and you can find it at the Play Store
Everything went sucessfully and my phone was rooted. I did encounter one problem and that was I couldn't get the CWM Touch Recovery to stick. I found out with the help of a few forum members that I needed to select "yes" on the propmt to overwrite the stock recovery. (the warnign I got stated ROM will flash back to stock. Would you like to fix this? YES= This can not be undone/ NO or Go Back. I was selecting go back because I was not sure on what to select and CWM would never stick it would always reboot back to stock. Last night I did select yes, and it worked fine.) I went back and fixed the issue, and now CWM Touch Recovery is flashed on my phone. I also used Terminal Emulater to back up my IMEI.
My question is, because I initailly did'nt flash the CWM Touch Recovery the right way (right way meaning selecting yes) does this mean I didn't unlock my bootloader? I'm a complete noob and just want to make sure I have things in order.
Thanks,
Take a look at this thread to determine if you bootloader is unlocked.

Cautions:
1.your warranty is now void.
2.do this at your own risk.
3.read the whole post before starting.
Flashing CWM recovery and taking backup :
1. Download the package and extract all files.
2. Extract the driver.zip located in drivers folder->1
3. Install the driver.if your OS is 64bit then install the x64 one.if the OS is 32bit,then the x86 one.
4. Open researchdownload application
5. Select the 2nd button with double cog sign.
6. Now a new window will appear like the screenshot attached.
7. Right click on the file name field.choose the files located in "Required files" folder of the package.
be careful here.Put fdl1 in fdl1 field,fdl2 in 2nd field and the recovery image(extract the "CWM-recovery-SC8810-nonpadded.zip") in recovery field. Then press the "OK" button.
8. Press the Start (Play) button in ResearchDownload -application (third button).
9. Turn off the phone.
10. Keep holding the "- volume" key. Without releasing the button "- volume" plug the usb cable
11. The process of CWM- burning should be started now in ResearchDownload-application and it will take approximately 1 Minute.
I think you can release the Vol.Button, but I had kept it nevertheless.
12. Wait until the CWM-flashing has been finished (A green sign will appeare and "Passed" will be shown in ResearchDownload- application window).
13. Remove the battery, wait 20 seconds. Put battery back and turn on the phone.
14. now hold the vol (-) and power button until the screen flashes (40 seconds or less or more) and now you are in the CWM recovery menu.
15. PLEASE make a full backup by the "backup and restore" option .make sure there's about 500mb free space in your micro SD card.
16. after the backup reboot the phone and PLEASE store the backup files in somewhere else..(the whole ''clockworkmod'' folder)
congratulation. you have done a full backup and flashed your CWM recovery.
Rooting device:
*don't do this.if u find that your backup size is lower than 250mb~300mb(slight +/- may occur)
1. download and put the "superuserandfullbackup.zip" in your micro SD card
2. power off your device.
2. Reboot to Recovery by holding volume (-) and power button until the screen flashes and recovery menu comes.
3. just go to "install zip from sdcard option and select the zip "superuserandfullbackup.zip"
4. flash it
5. reboot.
Advices:
Rooting is dangerous.so first make a full backup of your unrooted stock Rom just after flashing CWM.
Store the backup(size will be around 250mb~300mb(+/- ) in someplace safe.it's the life of your phone.If anything goes wrong,it's the only key to fix your phone.......be careful.........
Getting back your warranty:
Restore your stock Rom's backup.Then,flash the stock recovery(included in the package.find it in RECOVERIES folder),in the same way you've flashed the CWM.
good luck.and thanks for reading this.

Samsung SM-J105F root

can somebody with a recovery that I can mode to run on my phone help? I am tired of using 360root.apk I want to use SuperSU and not these apps with Chinese interface
Here are the steps I followed after some extensive reading of other peoples methods and trying every possible app that would not work:
How to install TWRP and root the Samsung Galaxy J1 Mini (SM-J105F)
The device is powered by a Spreadtrum chipsets and Android 5.1.1
Basically what you need to do to root your Samsung, is to install/flash a custom recovery such as TWRP, which other than the limited functions of the OEM recovery, has all the features you need to flash a custom rom. You then boot into this TWRP recovery and use the touch menu to install/flash the SuperSu xx.zip file to give you root. It seems that other methods to root do not work on this specific phone.
Here is an Odin3 flashable *.tar md5 TWRP file that will also make it possible to root your Samsung Galaxy J1 SM-J105F, unfortunately it has to be paid for. Find it here: http://www.saroms.co.za/product/samsung-galaxy-j1-mini-j105f-root-file/ - and follow the bellow steps to flash the TWRP custom recovery and after rooting your J105F Samsung Galaxy J1 Mini.
Note: Odin3 only flashes with xxxx.tar or xxxx.tar.md5 files. TWRP can also flash xxxx.zip files.
To get into Odin mode or Download mode on the phone, switch off phone and unplug any cable to your PC or charger. Now hold in the Home button, the lower part of the volume button (V-) and the power button simultaneously. The phone will boot into a recovery screen and if you push the top part of the volume button (V+) you will switch to the Download screen. Only now can you plug your phone into the PC and run Odin3
Once TWRP recovery has been loaded, do the following to boot into TWRP recovery: Disconnect any cables to charger or PC. Switch off the phone. Now hold in the Home button, the upper part of the volume button (V+) and the power button simultaneously. The phone will boot showing the Teamwin screen and then the menu buttons which work from the touchscreen.
If you do not want to pay for the correct TWRP recovery for your specific device, then use Google to search for the file: TWRP SM-J105H_F_M_Y 5.1.1.tar
1. Download the following files:
(i) OEM Samsung firmware for your phone in case you have to fall back and reinstall the firmware i.e.
XFV-J105FXXU0AQA3-20170329071250.zip
(ii) TWRP SM-J105H_F_M_Y 5.1.1.tar or any other custom TWRP recovery file for your model phone.
(iii) UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.79-20161211114519.zip
2. Go to Settings > About device > Software Info > and tap on Build number a few times until you are a developer.
3. You should now see and tap on 'Developer options' if you go back to Settings.
4. In Developer options. turn on 'OEM Unlock' by moving the slider to the right, Enable. Never set that setting to off once you have loaded a custom firmware or TWRP custom recovery! You phone will brick and only show *“Custom binary blocked by FRP lock” after the next reboot!! (FRP = Factory Reset Protection)
* If so install OEM firmware with Odin3 and start again.
5. Copy the UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.79-20161211114519.zip file to the root of your internal storage SD card (not external). This will be installed by using TWRP recovery. Use your PC to do this.
6. Turn the device off and boot into "Download Mode” (V- and Home and Power ... and then V+)
7. Run the Odin3 application on your PC and load the recovery *.md5 file under 'AP' or load the file: TWRP SM-J105H_F_M_Y 5.1.1.tar.
8. Connect the MS-J105f to your PC and let Odin3 connect and ID:COM will go blue and show i.e. 0 : (COM4) > then click Start.
9. The SM-J105F will power on when done. Disconnect cable and power it off again.
10. Boot into recovery (V+ and Home and Power) will now boot into TWRP.
11. You will now see the TWRP menu touch screen.
12. Tap Install > scroll to the "UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.79-20161211114519.zip" file you downloaded and copied to the phone memory tap it.
13. Swipe at the bottom slider to confirm install.
14. Tap Reboot to system when done and you should be rooted.
15. Install and run SuperSU from the app store and run.
16. Install and run Root Checker Basic.
To reinstall the OEM firmware, download the proper xxxx.zip from the Samsung website.
You must the extract the xxx.tar.MD5 file from the download
If you can get into the Download screen on your SM-J105F then use Odin3 as above, just under PA select the OEM file xxxx.tar.MD5 (it takes a short while to select properly as it a very large 2 gb file after extracting)
Hope this helps someone else. Thanks to all whose posts and contributions helped me.
