How to Rooting Galaxy S3 GT I9305 on Jelly Bean 4 1 2 XXBMA3 OS

As the official Jelly Bean update has been released for the Samsung Galaxy S3 from a while, now all the users who applied the stock firmware on their devices are looking for a root procedure that can be performed on the new OS. In order to help you out, today we will be checking in how to easily gain root access for the Galaxy S3 GT I9305 that runs on the official Android 4.1.2 XXBMA3 software. Take note though that this tutorial is being suitable only for the S3 model number I9305 that is being powered by the mentioned ROM, so don’t try to complete the steps from bellow for a similar device.
It is important to have a rooted handset because who knows when you will need access to its internal system. On a rooted OS you can install complex apps that requires root access in order to work properly (such as CWM recovery and some backup and restore tools), you can remove in-built programs in order to improve the speeds, optimize and customize the system and so on. The best part is that once the root access is granted you can start updating your Galaxy S3 with the latest custom ROMs, which are being perfect for those who want to try something different than the classic or default Jelly Bean experience.
In a few words, if you want to properly use your smartphone, gaining root access is a must have. Actually, this will be the first step to make if you want to power up the Galaxy S3 performances, so why not to try the same? The root procedure can be easily performed, the present step by step guide being all that you need. You have all the aspects needed explained and detailed below, so let’s get started. Anyway, do read all the following lines or else you can end up in bricking your phone, and I know that you don’t want that to happen.Above, we have seen which the advantages that come with a root operation are. Well, now let’s see if there are negative aspects too. As usual, when we are talking about unofficial procedures, there are some things that must be revealed. Related to our purpose, the most relevant one is referring to your Samsung Galaxy S3 I9305 warranty. By trying to root your Galaxy S3 that runs the Jelly Bean 4.1.2 XXBMA3 firmware you will make changes into the internal system of your device. This means that the warranty will be void. This aspect can’t be avoided, so if you are not sure that you can safely complete this guide, maybe it will be better to stop going any further.
Also, a backup is strongly recommended even though it is unlikely to lose your personal info while trying to root the Galaxy S3 by using this step by step guide. But if anything bad happens, you will have to wipe the system for fixing things up, so as a precaution take your time and backup the SGS3 data before going any further. You can use our backup and restore guides (search through our how to section) for learning how to save almost everything from your phone (contacts list, call logs, internet settings, calendar info, market apps, EFS, text messages and so on), so you have nothing to worry about.
Now, as this is an unofficial operation, you have to apply the pre requisites that are being explained during the following list. Then, you can safely begin the root procedure that can be applied on any Samsung Galaxy S3 GT I9305 that is being powered by the Jelly Bean 4.1.2 XXBMA3 software.
  • You will need to use a Windows running computer or notebook; on the same you will download and install some tools.
  • The Galaxy S3 and its USB cable must be near you.
  • All the security programs that are running on your phone and computer must be deactivated.
  • The handset must be fully charged; or if there is more than 60% power left you can skip this step.
  • Enable the USB debugging option on your device (from here: “Settings -> Applications -> Development -> USB debugging”).
  • Apply this tutorial only if you own the Samsung Galaxy S3 model number GT I9305. Also remember that this root procedure is suitable only with the Android 4.1.2 XXBMA3 firmware.

Rooting your tablet will allow you to flash new custom ROMs and other files that can be used to improve its overall appearance and performance.

In order to successfully root your device, you will first need to read the guidelines below. Here’s what you need know:

  • if Samsung KIES software is installed on your PC, then you should make sure to disable it when moving to the tutorial. This program will interfere with Odin and block the rooting process of your tablet.
  • make sure that you won’t skip any steps that I have listed in the tutorial.
  • enable the USB Debugging setting from the Developer Options menu. If this menu isn’t showing up in Settings, then you should open ‘About device’ and then scroll down and tap 7 times on the Build Number section. It will enable Developer Option in the Settings menu.
  • make sure that your tablet’s battery has enough power left in its battery so that it won’t switch off in the middle of the rooting process.

  7. Next, click the ‘PDA’ button in ODIN.
  8. Browse your PC for the ‘CF-Auto-Root-konawifi-konawifixx-gtn5110.tar.md5′ file and load it into Odin.
    > don’t change any default settings of ODIN.
    > make sure that the Re-Partition option is not enabled. Disable it if otherwise.
  9. Click the START button when you’re ready for the installation process.
  10. When all files are flashed and the root is complete, ODIN will say ‘PASS’ and the device will reboot.
  11. When the Samsung boot animation appears, unplug the phone from PC and wait for it to boot into normal mode.
  12. Check the App Drawer for the SuperSU app icon to confirm that the root has been applied successfully.
  13. Install any new apps that require root or start looking for custom ROMs and other customization files that you can use to improve the overall performance of your tablet.
If ODIN freezes then the root was not completed and you will be forced to disconnect the tablet from PC. Close ODIN and then repeat the entire tutorial once again making sure that you won’t skip any steps that I have listed above. If you need more help, use the comments section.
If ODIN says that the root process was ‘Passed’ but the Galaxy Note 8.0 N5110 doesn’t go past the Samsung boot animation screen, then you will have to power off the device and unplug it from PC. You will have to boot into Recovery Mode and apply factory reset. After that, the tablet will boot into normal mode correctly. If you have any other questions, then you should ask for extra help in comments.
Since this root won’t install any custom Recovery images, then you can choose to visit Google Play Store and use the Goo Manager or ROM Manager app to flash TWRP / CWM Recovery. A custom Recovery will help you install new custom ROMs and other customization files for your tablet.
