Root Samsung Galaxy SIII

CF-Root for SGS3 v6.4:

CF Root is the best method to root most of the android phones. The easiest and the most used.. Follow this method to ROOT your Samsung Galaxy SIII.



Works Perfectly on I9300 - Check your device model  - Go to Settings -> About -> Model No. 
If you have I9300T or any other suffix, stop right here, this may not work for you, might even brick your device. 

CF-Root is the root for "rooting beginners" and those who want to keep as close to stock as possible. CF-Root is meant to be used in combination with stock Samsung firmwares, and be the quickest and easiest way for your first root.


Procedure:

Do Not Do Anything Else Apart From The Below Given Procedure

- Unzip the attached Odin3-v1.85.zip file
- Download and unzip the CF-Root-SGS3-v6.4.zip file (see posts below this one)
- If you end up with a recovery.img and cache.img file, you've extracted twice. You need to end up with a .tar file - don't extract that one
- (USB) Disconnect your phone from your computer
- Start Odin3-v1.85.exe
- Click the PDA button, and select CF-Root-SGS3-v6.4.tar
- Put your phone in download mode (turn off phone, then hold volume-down + home + power to boot - if it asks you to press a button to continue, press the listed button)
- (USB) Connect the phone to your computer
- Make sure Repartition is NOT checked
- Click the Start button
- Wait for Android to boot
- Done (if it took you more than 30 seconds, you need practise!)

NOTE: Sometimes the device does *not* boot into recovery mode and root your device. Just do the entire procedure again if this happens. If it still will not install root and such, make sure that in Odin "Auto Reboot" is not checked. Then after flashing, pull the battery, and boot with VolUp+Home+Power button to boot into recovery manually. This will start the install process.
