Samsung Galaxy S III Rooted
Android is usually considered as the most customizable and moddable mobile operating system. However, hardware manufacturers often remove some of this functionality by making the system more secure. Root access is still needed in order to make that extra that you couldn’t do with a stock version of a manufacturer’s OS. For instance, a simple task like taking a screen shot still needs root to work. The Samsung Galaxy S III was recently released, meaning we didn’t have root on it. Luckily, CF-Root promises an easy way to root your Galaxy S III.

This edition of CF-Root comes courtesy of XDA Developers member Chainfire. The app includes root permission management app SuperSU, ClockWorkMod build 5.5, as well as CWM Manager. Please make sure that you’re running the I9300 version of the Galaxy S III, and not some operator customized version.
