How to root Galaxy S3

The rooting will begin once you perform the first step of our tutorial. Which first step is to be found in the next paragraph.

1. Do the following: unzip both the Odin 3.07 and the CF-Auto-Root zip files on your notebook, after which locate where .tar.md5 and Odin3 v3.07.exe are.
2. Once they are made available, the Galaxy S3 GT-I9300 needs to be turned off and then entered into Download Mode; for the latter's successful accomplishment, you should:
   • press and hold Volume Up and Home at the same time:
   • press Power
   • stop when the handset comes to life
   • press Volume Up
   • the Download Mode is finally here!
3. The flashing of the rooting package shall go well only if you run the Odin3 v3.07.exe as Administrator. Once that has happened, you have to plug, with a USB cord, the phone to your laptop (the USB cable has to belong to the handset, don't use another one from another model).
4. The success of the plugging rests on whether or not these show on the display: a yellow-tinted ID:COM box plus "Added!!"; in case of a mishap, it will be better to choose one of these solutions: - flash, for another round, the USB Drivers on your PC; - use a USB port which is not the same as the one you've recently used.
5. Or you can try both solutions out if one of them does not offer the expected result. Then go on by opting for this file: CF-Auto-Root-m0-m0xx-gti9300.tar.md5.
6. The button that should be used for the file's selection is PDA, so don't forget to press it. Then enable, in Odin, the boxes shown below: - Auto Reboot; - F. Reset Time.
7. The box which has Re-partition written next to it may be checked by default, so disable it manually and after that tap "START". The next couple of seconds will see the flashing of the rooting tool begin.
8. The Galaxy S3 GT-I9300 will then sport it and, as such, will experience a restart. Then the display is going to surprise you with a message that must read "PASS"; look for it in the left box which sits at the top of Odin. As soon as the message is spotted, you will be asked to disconnect the smartphone from the notebook.
9. To check on the rooting of your handset - it it happened or not -, you can download and use Root Checker app made available in Google Play store.
