Root for Verizon GSIII
- Here is a link to the article on Rootzwiki about getting root access on the Verizon Samsung GSIII.
I do not have a GSIII so I can neither confirm or deny it works but I figured many might find it helpful. Verizon Galaxy S3 Locked? Nah, Come Get Some Root. - Articles - RootzWiki - RootzNews - RootzWiki
Enjoy and good luck

With the ability to flash kernels and an open bootloader we could easily get a reliable AOKP Jellybean port.

Even though I'm not even close to being a dev, I somehow feel like I'm a part of it and it makes me feel all fuzzy when something like this happens.duanedude1 and Kronko like this.07-07-2012 02:30 PMLike 2

If they did updates on a regular basis and didn't cram the phones full of bloatware, devs wouldn't have to do their jobs for them.tayswg20 and duanedude1 like this.07-07-2012 02:42 PMLike 2 -
Bounced off of my JellyBelly into your eye.07-08-2012 01:43 PMLike 0 - Any updates from anyone that's rooted? My S3 should be here in a day or 2. Looking for feedback

- For Samsung devices you use a program called Odin. Which is pretty much the same as an SBF on a Motorola device. I've had my share of moto devices as well. Odin will restore the stock factory image on your device exactly like rsd lite would do.

When using Odin, it is very important to choose PDA not Phone as your device type, or you will end up bricking your device.07-10-2012 01:36 PMLike 0 - Right now there are just too many issues and too many unknowns with this phone for me to root. The most safe thing to do is to root only but not load CWM. It looks like once you load cwm that your counter starts incrementing if you load even a cleaned up stock rom.
I'm going to wait until later this week and then see what has been worked out (if anything) and make a decision about this phone at that point.07-10-2012 01:44 PMLike 0 - Can you post a link to a thread discussing the fact that the counter starts incrementing after installing the CWM recovery? I can't seem to find any reference to this. Thanks.sicario666 likes this.07-10-2012 04:05 PMLike 1

Second to last question:
Q: Does this trip the flash counter?
A: No07-13-2012 10:59 AMLike 0 - Rooted the wife's new GS3 yesterday before I even activated it. I can't believe there is no other way to move user app data...07-13-2012 12:03 PMLike 0
- rooted but did not install cwm with the method above, root went fine and was able to remove the ongoing wifi notice.
Then today I was in rom manager just poking around and saw the verizon gsIII was listed as a device to load cwm on so I did and it went fine, I then booted into recovery and performed a backup that also went fine. No counter was tripped not that I caresicario666 likes this.07-13-2012 05:30 PMLike 1 - The file that needs to be flashed in Odin. Should it be a tar.md5? Or just a .tar? It's been a while since I've used Odin. I'm following all instructions but my comp just reboots after a while. Can some1 throw a dog a bone?

Good lucksicario666 likes this.07-14-2012 08:41 PMLike 1 - I'm not totally positive which step your on but i think you want just a .tar file........one thing that helped me was i used this guide Easy Guide to Root Verizon Galaxy S3 ....its the same as the one on xda except, for me it was a little less confusing to follow (not that the one on xda was confusing, I just have the attention span of a 2y/o) . Just make sure you have a blank system image.tar and a rooted system image.tar and you should be fine. I'm not an expert at this, just giving my own experience. So maybe someone with more knowledge can chime in and help as well.
Good luck
