EDIT: I just figured I would add: By Using This Method You Are Releasing The Author (ME) of any Responsibility For What May Happen to Your Phone. In Other Words, If You Brick Your Phone, It's On You.
I thought I would put together a root package for those that do not want to raise the flash counts on their Samsung Galaxy S3. It is very simple And I hope I can explain it in a way that everyone can understand. This first post is written for the 1st time rooter.
The 2nd post is for Experienced User who already knows how to use tools such as Odin or Mobile Odin
Custom Recovery
If you would like to load ROMs, Kernels, mods or make Nandroid Backups you will now need to install a custom recovery.
For ease, I would suggest downloading the Modile Odin Pro from the play store it sets everything up for you and you don't need any add on apps. But below is the free way to do this.
You are done
If you have any problems with the links let me know.

Drivers
Your Samsung Drivers MUST be installed correctly on your computer prior to continuing. You can install them by installing keis.
Intalling Kies or
Just the drivers alone
Either way wait until the software installs completely before plugging your device into the computer. When you have completed driver installation, plug in your device. The computer should now tell you it is installing drivers click on the details and wait until there is a green check by all the drivers. Unplugging your device before it's complete will cause you problems.
Preparing Your Computer
You will need to download the following files to your desktop or notebook computer. Just click on the file names and that should download the file required. I would suggest you make a folder on your desktop and name it something like Root GS3
Download the files below to your computer. If your computer can already handle .7z files you won't need to download or install "7zip for windows" files
Odin 3.07
root66_SPR_L710VPALEN.7z
7 zip 32 bit Windows If you have 32 bit Windows
7 zip 64 bit Windows If you have 64 bit Windows
After downloading the above files to your computer:
1. double click on the "Odin 3.07 zip". Copy the "Odin307" folder into your "Root GS3" folder.
2. Copy "root66_SPR_L710VPALEN.7z" into the "Root GS3" folder"
3. Extract "root66_SPR_L710VPALEN.tar" into the "Root GS3" folder
Note: After extracting the needed files from the compressed folders, it is safe to delete the original zip and 7z folders. (Again if your computer doesn't recognize 7z files you will have to download and install one of the 7 zip programs from above.)
Using Odin
1. Open the "Odin307" folder and right click on "Odin3 v3.07.exe" and choose run as administrator. Odin will open.
2. place your phone into download mode. Turn off phone - press and hold volume down, home button and power button at the same time. When you see the warning push the volume up button to continue.
3. Plug your usb cord to your phone and computer and wait until you see any number and com in the com
4. Check the PDA block and browse to "root66_SPR_L710VPALEN.tar" in your Root GS3 Folder
5. Verify Auto Reboot is checked as well as F. Reset Time
When all this is done Odin should look like this:
6. If everything looks like the picture, click on the start button in Odin.
Note: This is vary large file and make take up to 10 minutes to complete.
When your phone reboots you can unplug your device. You are now Rooted with the stock recovery and without tripping the counter.
Custom Recovery
