Rooting My Galaxy S3

[mama_san4u]

hello all,

i'm quite new to this, but i would like to root my galaxy s3. it has android 4.1.2 jelly bean and it is I9300XXELLA. can someone please post a link to the exact tutorial which will guide me through the process? i would be very grateful for that.

i'm a bit worried it might not work and brick my phone, and that would be very bad.. so this would be a place where i could seek help.

thanks in advance for your assistance!

The process is a little different depending on which carrier you are with (I believe). Each carrier has its own S3 sub-forum here: http://forums.androidcentral.com/samsung-galaxy-s3/

In each sub-forum you will find a sub-sub-forum called "S3 Rooting, ROMs, and Hacks". There is usually a stick in this forum at the top that will give you a walkthrough. Here is an example for a SPRINT GS3: http://forums.androidcentral.com/sp...e-updated-how-root-your-sprint-galaxy-s3.html

Happy Rooting!
