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.
Furthermore, in the end you can get a boot loop; if that happens, you need to reboot your Galaxy S3 into recovery mode. Then, from recovery select to wipe the system: “wipe data factory reset” and “wipe cache partition”. Up next choose to reboot the device and that’s all. As a final note, the first boot might take longer than usual, but don’t panic there is nothing wrong with your smartphone.
So, now you know how to easily root the Samsung Galaxy S3 GT I9305 on Jelly Bean 4.1.2 XXBMA3 OS. You can now install a custom recovery image on your phone and use the same for updating with custom ROMs firmware. Stay close as we will bring new tutorials suitable with your device soon along with other Android related tricks and tips.
