If there's any info i can throw out to make this a lot easier so that you can point me into the right procedure of doing so... or you can link me to a thread (. _ . ) i have looked around but i am always unsure.

4.3 (. _ . )

4.3 auto root HERE you will need Odin, its a full tut on how to do it and links to all tools needed if you don't already have them. the auto root link is just below step 1, with you having no experience i thought auto root would be easier for you to do, hope this helps you! :smile:

Alright so after fudging around with it for about 2 hours.... Odin just refuses to read my phone... I have tried reinstalling the drivers and swaping my usb ports around.... it just refuses to pick it up.. (i don't get the added message)

Alright new problem... i went through the steps and everything (Odin even said pass) but when i check with the root checker app says i haven't rooted it.... I have tried 4 different things now... and nothing.. I have followed the steps strictly. One obstacle after another..

Holy crap you are lucky. you could have caused your device not to boot flashing random files. there are MANY variants of the SGS3, and flashing the i9300 software on the ones found in the US can cause bricks. next time i would highly suggest clarifying what phone you have, as in what model and software version. all of that can be found in the about phone screen in settings.

I didn't use the file given in the first tutorial that he showed me... I'm not retarded now...

Just a heads up for amateur rooters out there. There is a program called kingoroot that will root most phones and OS's and on top of that will not trip the Knox flag on Samsung phones. It will supposedly unroot as well but I have never tried that feature.
