There are many ways to root and install Custom ROM in Samsung Galaxy S3 i9300. But my friends on other forum and my own research has taught me some quick and easy way to Root Samsung Galaxy S3 i9300.
Note : Before proceding keep in mind that it may void your warrenty. So, try this only on your own Risk
So, here is the step wise process or rooting Samsung Galaxy S III i9300 :
Step 1 : Take full backup of Everything available in Internal Memory of your Galaxy S3
Step 2 : Uninstall Kies to avoid clashing with Toolkit Driver.
Step 2 : **CLICK HERE TO DOWNLOAD THE SAMSUNG GALAXY S3 TOOLKIT V7.0**
Step 3 : Follow these Steps :
a. Download the Samsung Galaxy S3 ToolKit package and run to install the ToolKit to your PC. The installation will also create a Shortcut on your desktop for easy access. You have the option to include or exclude the drivers files at installation so if you already have your drivers set up and are just updating the ToolKit then you can untick the drivers if you wish.
b. Once the ToolKit is installed make sure your phone is booted and plugged in via USB cable and double click on the 'Samsung GS3 ToolKit' shortcut on your desktop to run it.
c. You will be asked if you want to check for an Update. If you type 'yes' this will download and check the latest version numbers against the versions in the ToolKit. If there is an update available then you will have the option to download and install it (donator feature).
d. You will now be presented with a Model Selection Screen to choose the Model/Build that you are currently on. Type the number that corresponds to your desired selection. For example type '06' for GT-I9300 ELLA build. If you cannot find the build your device is using then type 'h' to select the HELP option to get more info.
e. The Toolkit will now locate and download the recovery/boot image pack for your chosen Model. This is a new feature so the Toolkit is not limited to how many Models can be added and it cuts down ALLOT on the download size. After the zip file has finished downloading it will be extracted to the correct folders and the files checked to make sure everything is ok.
f. When you enter the Main Menu you will see 'Adb Mode' at the top. If you have installed your drivers correctly then you will see your devices serial number under the text with 'device' next to it. If you see this then your device is connected and you can carry on.
NOTE: If you haven't installed the drivers and don't see a serial number at the top then this is the FIRST thing you want to do so the Toolkit can operate properly.
g. Each option in the ToolKit has full information on what it is and how to use it.
