How to Root and install CWM on the Samsung Galaxy S3 without Tripping Flash Counter (AT&T ver)

In this post, i will show how to root your Galaxy S3 i747. Rooting has many benefits which include installing/flashing 3rd party ROMS, can enable wi-fi tethering and also install 3rd party apk's and many others. But not all rooting methods are safe. Some of them might trip the flash counter on the device which might not be good when you want to claim warranty for the device. This method lets you root without tripping the flash counter.

You would be needing two things for rooting
Odin Download link 
Root injected firmware Download link

You can follow the video below for the full detailed demo



Now if you wish not to flash any ROMs then you can stop here but if you want to flash ROMs then you need to install Clockworkmod Recovery.

The first method is by using ROM Manager.
Step 1: Install ROM Manger from Play store
Step 2: Open ROM Manager and select the appropriate device (i747)
Step 3: Now select install CWM option and you are done

The second method is using ADB shell. For this you need to make sure that you have android SDK installed. For full instructions follow the video below
