Any tips? I'm planning to do it tonight to my galaxy s3.
I rooted my old tablet and started the process on my HTC Inspire but held off when I found the camera didn't work with the ICS ROM I was going to install.
Is there a reason you're rooting the SIII? Jelly Bean will be on the way soon and unless you can find a ROM that is absolutely 100% stable, I'd leave it as-is. You have little to gain by rooting that phone, IMO.
But all in all, the process usually isn't that difficult, just a little time consuming. Go slowly and follow the directions. If you have a question, just stop and research it fully. You don't want to brick the thing (though that's generally rare in the more modern ROMs).
I want tethering, to delete some bloatware, and the ability to customize my phone a little more. I guess I don't HAVE to do it, but from reading some of the geek forums (no disrespect to my fellow geeks) everyone loves their phone rooted.
Ah, tethering. Are you a Sprint or T-Mobile customer? Because both Verizon and AT&T now offer tethering included in their new plans.Quote:

My wife said it is included in our plan, but I have to try it. The app I would like allows you to create and modify the SSID and allow or not allow connections to it. Plus, you can do a little hacking with it (need to investigate this further). The biggest thing for me was tethering, so if I can already do that I might not do it.
