I could be wrong but can't you root the phone, install mobile Odin then flash a non rooted tar?

What about the exynos abuse root method? What build is the phone currently on? It did get patched but I don't remember what build.

Well I was able to using a app. Im cursed with having a broke volume down button, so that was my only choice since i couldnt get to download mode without rooting and using a widget to reboot to download mode.
I have to dig around for the app but I know I saved it just in case...
Actrully found it I used a app called framaroot.

Interesting. It's worth a shot OP. Worst case, it fails and you uninstall. If it is successful, you can install mobile odin, then get the latest gb27 tar, and money. While you're at it, you will have to flash a cwm custom jb kernel, since you're on ics, and, MO won't flash modems, you'll need a jb modem to use data on gb27. Download the zip though of the modem . Good luck, let us know how it goes.

Hopefully it works for you. I don't see why it wouldn't. Might be more complicated but it worked for me. but of course YMMV. Just follow what jdsingle76 said you you'll be good to go.

I would think you need to Odin a custom kernel/recovery then flash a super user.zip file. Also you would need to get the super user app from the playstote

Never mind they have odin one clicks for kernels

Is there any way to root galaxy s 3 for t mobile running 4.1.1 without a computer?

Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app
As of right now, the only way to get root is with the use of the computer as of yet.
Being that seems to work pretty well I doubt there will be development to a root method without a computer.
Hmm, thanks for your feedback

I put the developer kit on my phone and then you can do it from someone elses computer...
What about mobile Odin pro? Then use that to flash the recovery of your choice. The reboot to recovery and install the superuser script?

Mobile odin requires root. So it can't be used to gain root.
Chainfire release a rooting method. I haven't tried it but have heard it works well. You still need Odin on a pc for any root procedure that I'm aware of.

Rooting is yes, only available via computer.

Just realized I didn't mention chsinfires method is called CF-auto root I believe. Its in original development.
Or you can also use the root66 method. Link to the fw thread in my sig.

You need to be on completely stock ROM. I used ODIN, it doesn't increase the flash counter when you flash full system. Use it, don't wory

How long did it take to complete the update? Its going on 2 hours now for me. It downloaded the update but the phone has been in dl mode for about an hour and the progress hasn't moved from 0%. This phone is completely stock and has never been rooted, im starting to think its hung up.

If I take my phone to t-mobile can they update it at the store? My stepdaughter won't let me try on her laptop( she's a pain in the ass and doesn't like me anyways)

Why not put all your things on a flash drive or external hard drive and go to the library might be able to do it there or some place else where there is computer access

I've asked a few friends but they all said no after I told em we needed to DL kies. Even though I assured them kies is safe and will be deleted after we are finished. So whatever.

That's ****ty... Im pretty sure The store won't do it.

You don't really need root to Odin... just put it in dl mode. (Power+vol up)...
But that doesn't help you with the no usb thing. But you could probably Odin at a library...

Odin is safer than kies...and it doesn't require root/won't root your phone.

Yeah, what others said. Odin won't root it....unless you root it. Just flashing rom wont root it.
If no one on earth will let you use their computer for this.....then I'm gonna guess you're a known computer jinx or something and they don't want you breaking their stuff!
