Yes, the Galaxy S III
from AT&T has been rooted for quite some time now, but for anyone who has
just purchased the device and is looking for a simple and foolproof way of
rooting it, XDA Elite Recognized Developer AdamOutler has just released his
famous CASUAL root tool for AT&T’s S III. Short for
Cross-platform ADB Scripting, Universal Android Loader, CASUAL works as a
one-click root method and it’s massive appeal lies in its ability to run on
Windows, Mac and Linux. To take it one step further, there’s support for even
Raspberry Pi. The tool uses the famous CFAutoRoot by Chainfire to achieve root
access on the device.

hasn’t been any confirmation from Mac users yet.
So how do you get it to
work? It’s simple, really; just follow the instructions below.
Disclaimer: Please
attempt this guide at your own risk. AddictiveTips won’t be responsible in case
your device gets bricked or damaged in any other way due to this method.
Requirements:
Instructions:
1.
To begin, make sure ‘USB
Debugging’ is enabled in Settings > Developer Options on the phone.
2.
Run CASUAL’s jar file
and connect your device to the PC via USB.
3.
Now hit the ‘Do it!’
button and simply follow the on-screen instructions.
Before it begins rooting
your device, the tool may ask you to install the drivers. In case you already
had drivers installed and the tool is still unable to detect the phone, uninstall
the existing drivers, restart your computer, and choose ‘MSM8960’ for the
driver when prompted.
