I haz teh R00tz! - I got root on my Verizon S3

No, I did not bother with it for now being I have nothing to load with CWM. I was happy to debloat and get rid of all those damned ads with AdFree.

Did not realize how many apps, games, and web pages HAD ads

Haha i hear ya, Adfree was the first thing i did. And it's all good with the adb issue for now as you are right, there's really no need for CWM at the moment. Now to try and figure out how to get wifi tether to work

It works, you just need the right version of the app. As in, get it from the Google code source, not the Play Store.

You mean this one?

[furbearingmammal]

That'd be the one.

Reports indicate it works. However, I'm just reporting what others have said, so don't shoot the messenger if your mileage varies.

Something tells me I'm glad I missed what you said when you said it originally.

Hahaha it was nothing bad, i promise!

Done. Launched TiBU and asked for root access. Yay! That a lot easier than root on the DX in the early days (before 1-click).

Now to figure out CWM.

Done! I'm in CWM recovery. Now to make a nandroid and then have fun.

See that's what i figured, but when i tried adb with the phone on and plugged in, i got the no device found error. Did you use adb to get CWM or did you stop right after you got root?

After you have used ADB to put CWM on the phone, then just power the phone off, unplug, and rebot into recover using vol-up, home, and power.

I couldn't get adb to work, i kept getting a no device error. You need to use it when the phone is on and you open a command prompt where adb is installed on your computer, right?
