       I forgot to mention make sure your drivers are up to date for your computer to recognize your phone..OK next you wanna download the CF-AUTO ROOT for your make and model which you can find in the thread Here .Make sure once you download the Odin and CF auto root you extract each file.To make it simple i just put it on my desktop.To make things even easier i create a new folder on my desktop and put my Odin and CF auto root in one folder that way when you have to navigate to the file its easy to navigate to it.When you extract the CF auto root file you should see a cf auto root ...md5 file or tar file that's what you want if you don't something went wrong and try again.Now that you have extracted these files next up is to power off your phone so we can put the phone into download mode .Every phone may vary just using the smasung Galaxy s 3 as an example .

         To put your phone  into download mode you wanna hold volume down ,power button and center home button all at the same time til you see a warning sign or download mode once you see that hit volume up now your ready to begin.I just wanna say you will void  your warranty but if you do enough research you ll find ways around it I'm not gonna explain that to you.So your phone is in download mode next open the Odin you extracted and Odin now appears don't get over whelmed its very basic .When your in Odin you  will see a box which says PDA on it click on PDA and a second window will open up navigate to the cf auto root md5 tar file if you created a folder which i explained it should be right there for you.Once located click on it to open it up now you should see it in your PDA slot now that it is in the PDA slot plug your phone into your computer having your phone in download mode plug it in and a yellow or blue box should light up with com in the box.If it is not lit up your drivers need to be updated or try a different com port do not proceed til its lit up.Once the com box is lit up and your cf auto root is in the PDA section checked make sure re-partition is not checked everything else should be checked .

           Now that you looked over everything and its in place hit start let Odin use its tool and let Odin finish what its doing you can look by looking at the top left corner of how its going  and the process make sure you let it finish and make sure your phone reboots or restarts for that matter and after it reboots you can close out Odin and UN plug your device and see in your apps you should now have super su if so you are rooted congratulations your now off to customizing anything you want to your smart phone .I will have a video thanks to Xda developers for there hard work and dedication and will be using a video made by them to show you a couple methods for rooting your samsung galaxy s 3 variants.

The ability of Android over Apple

The reason why i choose android over apple Is That android you can do just about anything to your phone.The customization of using android is just endless.I use to have an i phone and switched to android and have never turned back.With android you can do just about anything to your phone by rooting your phone and downloading any custom firmware of your choice.Thanks to +xda-developers You can find all the information to make that happen.I am not saying i phone is a bad phone but really besides text and making calls what else can it do. people get so hyped up over the i phones  i just cant figure out why.Every time a friend i know get an i phone i always ask why? what is so good about them.With android you can basically change anything on that particular phone whether its changing  the lock screen to adding a different color to the notification buttons.I would love to hear some opinions on this to see what you think is better and why.
