Root Galaxy S3 ( SIII ) I9300 [ CF-Root ]

XDA Elite Recognized Developer Chainfire aka CF released this Root For Galaxy s3 ( i9300 ). This root will install SuperSU , ClockWorkMod v5.5 and CWM Manager.

According to Chainfire ( CF ) CF-Root is the root for “rooting beginners” and those who want to keep as close to stock as possible. CF-Root is meant to be used in combination with stock Samsung firmwares, and be the quickest and easiest way for your first root.

What’s installed
- Root: SuperSU
- Recovery: ClockWorkMod
- Util: CWM Manager

Kernel
Unlike CF-Root for some other devices, this iteration of CF-Root does not include a custom kernel. Your kernel remains the stock kernel, and thus goodies like insecure adbd (ro.secure=0), custom boot scripts, and custom boot animations are not supported.

Root – SuperSU
The root permission management app installed by CF-Root is SuperSU. This will allow your apps to gain root (superuser) access.

Recovery – ClockWorkMod (CWM)
A custom CWM 5.5 build is included in CF-Root, taken from this thread. This provides for the ability to install custom ROMs, and do nandroid (full device) backups and restores.

Util – CWM Manager
My management application for CWM is also installed, see the recovery thread linked above for further details. It allows you to command CWM (install a ROM, make/restore backups, etc) from normally booted Android.
