Alright, if you have owned Samsung Galaxy S3, probably you are amazed and delighted with the great features and the sexy outlook of it. However, you can do more than what I got right now by rooting it. Rooting a android device is a must for me as more features, customization & tweaking can be done on your Galaxy S3. Thanks to Chainfire who is the known android developer who had shared the technique how to root & unlock several key android smartphones. Great news is that now you are able to root your Samsung Galaxy S3 GT i9300 with CF root 6.1 toolkit from Chainfire. CF Root 6.1 includes SuperSU, ClockWorkMod & Util CWM Manager.

CF-Root is a very basic rooting tool where no custom kernel will be installed upon installation. You will see the kernel remain stock after flashing.
