| Problem Rooting Galaxy S3 With Root Debug FS I'm working off of this guide to root a Galaxy S3 (I535VRLHE, with the goal of installing CM10) and unfortunately hitting a wall very early on. I'm using Root Debug FS to try and root, but I'm getting the error:
"adb is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file."
After that it informs me that "UID and GID should both be 0" Are They? Y/N.
Saying Yes or no here does nothing but insist that my phone is successfully rooted (it isn't). Screenshots below.
I've searched numerous forum posts at XDA and elsewhere but don't see any solutions. Drivers were all installed correctly. USB cable is OEM. Phone is set to USB debug mode, and unknown sources are allowed. Root Debug FS is being run as administrator. Root Debug FS files were all unzipped into the same directory (the most common cause of this error I've seen) and adb.exe is sitting in the directory.
Any ideas what I'm missing? |

What about adding the path to your system variables so it understands adb.exe |

kudos:1 | hmmm just read your post again, looks like you did unzip the files to the desktop and did not run them from the zip.
strange im guessing since you are on I535VRLHE that has something to do with it. I do know of 1 other root method but it needs a huge file and a different program let me see if I can dig it up. |

Interesting info on root66...thanks!
I should note that I've gotten the same problem with these files on TWO machines running Windows 7, so I think it's something unique to the phone, or the settings in the phone. |

i have a verizon S3 and followed the instruction here without any issues. I used Odin to get started. I am running AOKP on it and love it.. |
|
| Odin effectively does the same thing as RootDebug FS? Unlocks bootloader then roots the device? |
|
| This is very annoying. Have now tried this on two PCs and a laptop and get the same error. |

| Ok, putting this here for the search engines and others.
Finally got RootdebugFS to work by:
Leaving the phone unplugged.
NOT running the program as administrator
Then plugging in the phone when it says it's looking for the device. |

Hopefully everything worked out.
I didn't have any issues when rooting my GS3.

| Yes, thanks. Have CM10 running on there and am just tinkering with Nova launcher and Titanium backup. All great!
Such a stupid problem, simply resolved by ignoring instructions and not running the file as administrator.  |

Here is another resource you can look at to see what others are experiencing and doing with their S3's.

you don't have an issue because AT&T did not lock the bootloader.
However Verizon did. |

no EZ Unlock which uses Adam Outler's (android dev) Casual VZ GS3 Bootloader hack unlocks the bootloader.
Odin will let you revert to stock ICS touchwiz on the GS3 by flashing the original firmware. |
