This link popped up in 3 seconds using google: http://reviews.cnet.co.uk/mobile-phones/how-to-root-your-samsung-galaxy-s3-50008588/ Old hardware is the best to experiment around with....imho. Backup what you can! Personally, I'd do this on a non-critical cell phone first to make sure it work. NOwadays, phone vendors will try to auto-update your phone software/firmware, so do some research on your exact phone model, your carrier and the different projects out there that best suit your goals.... Many other devices use the same uP so most codes written for similar (family of) Processors will have codes you can compile and use. Cross-Compiling is your friend! SEandroid is way cool, from the folks I have spoken to. good hunting! James
