[Q] Root Galaxy S3 - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I got a Galaxy S3 and want to root it before i really do anything to it, its just that i cannot find a thread about rooting Galaxy S3. Im also new to android phones as i was always using iPhone but got bored of it. Sorry if this has been asked, i couldn't find a thread about it.
EDIT : For Xode's post, is there any order that i need to follow ? Sorry i couldn't quote cause my post was lower than 10.

You must first go to "How to Root Samsung Galaxy S3 Smartphone" and then "How to Install ClockworkMod Recovery on Samsung Galaxy S3" and " How to Remove Bloatware from Samsung Galaxy S3", is at your choice...

So in the 5 hours between posting your question and bumbing your thread, you didn't manage to find out what a custom ROM is and how to install it?
Try the stickies, for example, [REF] Guide to the Galaxy S II and Android (04/10/11) which links to [REF] ROM, Kernel, Kitchen & Modem List - Galaxy S II (22/10/11).

its there a video tutorial of how to do this?
I don't know... Try google. But seriously, it's a step by step list of what to do. If you're unsure, maybe you shouldn't be rooting.
Why do you want to root anyways? If you can't answer that question with a valid reason, maybe you shouldn't be trying to root in the first place.

S2 Rooting

So, I'm new on Android and I'm trying to have my Galaxy S2 Rooted. The problem is that I have searched for the corresponding Kernel for my phone and I haven't found it, Mine is: 3.0. 15-I9100UHLPQ-CL672935.
I don't know if I can use any kernel, but I would like some help here.
Thanks!

Posting this question in the Galaxy S II Q&A forum would probably get better answers than posting it in the About XDA-developers.com General forum. I have requested that a mod move this thread to that forum.

Search for the CF-root thread, your kernel is there.

You don't need any kernel, this is a much simpler method:

Preping my phone for rom

heya, so i was checking around, and it seems I have to root my phone, then use EZunlock to unlock it, then just install CWM and install the roms correct? EZ is just a app on the app store right? is there any 1 click things for rooting my s3 phone, or a really easy way? Gonna download a few roms now, I did see a few good JB ones, but did not see bamf, so will try out a few others. Let me know if you recommend a certain rom
Thanks
also guys, i noticed there is a verizon s3 section, and just the regular I9300 section, can i download roms from which place for my vzw s3? does it matter? I see the verizon android developement then just the regular development, so wasnt sure.
i recomennd using CF-ROOT and odin,
yes, be sure to check which version u have
GT9300 is the one for this forums
recomended roms = android revolution HD, checkrom, villianrom for first time flashers.
Umm I see there is like a section for each carrier. Then a section for Samsung galaxy III. Can I use those ROMs or ONLY the ones under Verizon section? Can u link the URL to the place(s) I can get ROMs here? Sorry lol just don't want go brick

You are in the wrong forum. This is for the International version of S III.
Flashing anything from this section might brick your phone.
