[Root] How to Root T-Mobile Galaxy S3 SGH-T999! - T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII

Here's a video tutorial for how to root T-Mobile Galaxy S3 SGH-T999, specifically for T-Mobile.
For T-Mobile, you will have to get into CWM recovery by holding down Volume Up + Center + Power button, then let go of Power button upon reset, a small difference between other U.S. Galaxy S3s but I see most people are having trouble with just getting into recovery after flashing with ODIN so here's a noob-proof video:

Title typo.

did you all have to download samsung kies to do this as well? cause it's not showing up, and i don't really wanna have to download kies if there's a way around it.

I didn't download Kies...did this on my work computer which definitely has never had any Samsung phone software on it.
It's running Windows 7 64-bit Professional if that helps.
my home desktop (Windows 7 64-bit Ultimate) didn't need it either - just tested now. All I installed on both machines were the normal USB drivers.

Zedomax is the [email protected]?$_!(/=?N' Man!!!

i get up to where I click on PDA, select the clockwork.tar file, hit start, and it does nothing... Any ideas?

nevermind, got it.... thanks!

I have two d710 and I too would like to know if there is a way to root with out a computer. Currently one of my d710 does not charge(I have to remove battery and charge the battery separately from device, its not so bad I have multiple batteries).
I have tried different cables to no profit. I have one of my D710 rooted rocking CM11. But would love to be able to root the wife's phone to.

It also depends on your software version to determine if this will work. Also since I know you may be busy let me help you and tell you that the actual CWM zip in the thread wont download because it refers to a shutdown website. Well it did not do anything for me but feel free to try...

[REPOST] Chainfire's app TriangleAway v1.80 [COUNTER RESET]

MODS, Please move this if I posted it in the wrong section, however .. most people that flash ROM's will find this EXTREMELY useful.
I don't know how many of us missed this, and the fact that many people are showing HUGE concerns about there Counters on there SGS3's are growing (like me) .. I found a posting by a great guy on here that many of you know .. Chainfire .. he has created an application called TriangleAway v1.80 .. this application will reset your counters back to "0" ZERO .. mind you, you do have to be rooted in order to do this. I have tried this app, and can confirm that it does indeed do as it states. PLEASE MAKE SURE YOU READ THE ENTIRE OP FROM CHAINFIRE TO GET A BETTER UNDERSTANDING OF HOW THIS WORKS AND WHAT IT ACTUALLY DOES.
Here is the link to the ORIGINAL application thread:

YES .. I have .. look at my signature !! Screenshot attached shows "0" .. I should have posted what it said before I did the reset .. my counter was at 32 !!
Works perfectly. Counter reset has been available for over a week now, but you had to search a little to find it. I've already reset 2 phones with it.

I assume this is a typo on chainfire and can be flashed without issue.
Also does this reset and keep it at 0 or just reset it and when you flash again it starts counting.

so if i use triangle away and then flash something after resetting it will go to 1?
If so then we need to reset after every firmware just in case something happens.

Counter is going to be tripped if you're using ODIN but flashing through CWM/TWRP does not increase your counter.

good that is my preferred method anyways
Works great..took my Pebble Blue SGSIII back to AT&T today to pick up the Garnet Red version.. my other was rooted .. custom ROM installed .. reset my counter, ODIN with official UCLG1 .. put phone back in download mode, verified NO counter listing.. and in Settings, About Phone, Status was labelled as Normal (which was labelled Modified before).

It just resets it. However once you get an alternate recovery or mobile ODIN and use that for flashing non stock roms, you will not increment the counter. It is the act of flashing a non official rom, using odin from a pc, that causes the counter to increment.

Good News!
By ready you mean testable, don't you?
