Hello everyone. I've tried rooting my S3, so I can freeze lots of the apps I don't want to use on it. I followed this video step by step: How to Root Galaxy S3 on Mac OSX! - YouTube However, when I enter clock recovery mode I'm presented with the Android dude lying down with a red triangle above him. My S3 is still working thankfully. But I still want to root it. Does anybody know what's happened? Should I factory reset the phone just to be safe? Thanks
its a much simpler process on a windows pc with odin. It hardly takes 30 seconds to root. Do u by chance have a windows pc u could use for it? I dont know much of mac so not sure why u received an error and personally have never seen the screen with a red x on it. Also which version of android are u running?
Sorry I'm not any help with a Mac, I've only ever rooted with a pc. I'll move you over to all things root where hopefully someone will be able to help
I could do it on my friends PC. Should I factory reset it first before I try just to make sure nothing goes wrong? What's Odin? I'm running 4.1.2 Thanks for your help.
