Root [International] Galaxy S3 Super SU Binary.

I suggest you use Chainfire's CF Autoroot, which is straightforward and uses the Odin method to root your device. Get the file from here CF-Auto-Root and select the correct device (GT-i9300T) and go the one but last cell of the row in the table then click on File and download. After downloading extract the .zip and copy the .tar.md5 file to a folder of your choice. then start Odin and flash the file in the usual manner (PDA > locate file > choose the .tar.md5 downloaded > Start).

Actually I probably should've mentioned that Odin doesn't recognize my device so that procedure doesn't work. I'm just looking for a way to install SU Binary without Odin or change my firmware with a flash counter of 1 (highly unlikely).

OK, then use Mskip's Toolkit; get it here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1703488&highlight=mskip

This allows you to install the drivers for your device on your PC (don't tell me you're using a MAC :(), since you seem to have a problem with the drivers as there, if not drivers then it has to be the USB port or the cable and if that does not solve it then it has to be the micro USB on the phone :mad:

Well I tried that but when it comes up to USB debugging, it doesn't find my device. I turned USB debugging off and on and tried it on while in download mode but it continues to say waiting for USB debugging to be enabled. I actually want the phone to become stock so that I can swap it in for a new one as I have to bend the headphone jack for audio to go through both ears.
