[Q] Samsung SIII 4G GT-I9305 Rooting (4.3)

I was searching around to find out how to root my device but was unable to find any relevant to the latest software update (4.3) and I'm trying not to brick it considering I'm still paying it off ( two year commitment )
My device is a. S3 4G GT-I9305 with 4.3 installed (Australian)
I've looked at other threads but they're around the date 2012, which is too outdated for my needs.
Any help appreciated.

New Samsung S4 i9295: rooting + custom ROM details plus the attached files

Got my new international version of the S4 (i9295) yesterday. Rooted and flashed a custom ROM this afternoon in about 1 hour. Below are the steps that I took to do this.
1.) Preparation: connect a usb micro SDcard reader (with a card in it) to your laptop and load the following files onto the sdcard,
-Towelroot.apk,
-SuperSU.apk
-terminal emulator such as jackpal.androidterm-1.0.70-71-minAPI4.apk
-root browser such as co.jrummy.root.browserfree.apk
-TWRP custom boot image file, Philz boot, recovery.img
-custom rom such as cm-12.1-20150715-NIGHTLY-jactivelte.zip
-Google Applications (GAPPS)​2.) Next, turn off your phone, remove the SIM card, insert the sdcard card with the above applications copied onto it.
3.) Turn on your phone. Go to Settings and click the "More" tab. Then go into security and check "Unknown Sources."
4.) Log onto a wifi network to gain internet access.
5.) Go to Applications, select the "My Files" browser and go to the sdcard. Locate Towelroot.apk that you just loaded on the card. Install it and run it. Towelroot will want to talk to the mothership regarding precisely how to root your device. This is okay.
6.) Install terminal emulator, and root browser.
7.) Install SuperSU. Open the SuperSU app and allow application to update binaries.
8.) Open terminal emulator, type in "dd if=/storage/extSdCard/recovery.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p21". Now type "reboot".
9.) TWRP should now be installed.
10.) Shut down the phone. Now, hold down the volume up and power buttons at the same time to boot into Philz TWRP bootloader.
11.) Select "Install zip", then select "Choose zip from storage/sdcard1", now choose the custom ROM that you have copied to the root of your external sdcard. Note: I had to do a factory reboot at this point as I was getting an "detected filesystem ext4 for /dev/block/platform/..." error message. I used the "factory reset" option under "wipe and format options" in TWRP with no problems. After this I was able to install the most recent 12.x Cyanogenmod rom with no problem.
12.) Repeat step 11 for GAPPS package.​I have moved 5 of the 7 applications listed in step 1 into a zip archive (12.9mb) and uploaded it. The only applications missing are the custom ROM (268mb), and recent GAPPS collection (75mb).
Sources for the resources in step 1 are,

Have fun.

Root miui lp stock rom without pc

This guide will root your device through Stock MI Recovery(Works with TWRP also), but this is not Native Root. A new app named SuperSU will be installed, which will give root Permission.
Note : - Rooting Void Warranty.
Caution:
This is a safe process, but I am not responsible for anything bad that happens to your phone.
In most cases this approach of rooting should not block OTA updates.
Steps to follow for rooting:
1. Download the Redmi2pLRoot.zip and Copy the file to the folder 'Internal storage' (root of internal storage)
(File at the end of thread)
2. Open the Updater app, Press the 3 dots at Right Top Corner, A menu will open. Tap on “Choose Update Package“ and select the Root.zip File.

[GUIDE] How to manually install OTAs on 5z

Use this guide to install OTAs manually in case you haven't received the update yet or you are bootloader unlocked/rooted.
1.) Download the corresponding OTA package from the links posted here by @mickey36736 - https://forum.xda-developers.com/zenfone-5z/how-to/zs620kl-fota-update-links-update-20-08-t3831794.
2.) Rename it in the format UL-Z01R-WW-{version number}-user.zip (excluding the braces).
3.) Drop it in the root of your internal storage and reboot.
4.) You should see the update notification once the phone boots up.
5.) Start the update (or) in case you are rooted using Magisk and want to preserve root, skip to step 6.
6.) Open Magisk Manager and select Uninstall > Restore Images
7.) Start the update.
8.) Once the update is done, don't reboot yet. Open Magisk Manager and select Install > Install to inactive slot (after OTA).
9.) Once the installation is done, reboot.
Note: Make sure 'Preserve AVB 2.0/dm-verity' is checked in Magisk Manager and you didn't flash vbmeta with the disable verity and disable verification flags, or the OTA won't install.

[Guide] Keep root after OTA update on 6T - no PC required!

Hey everyone, sorry if this has been covered already but I don't recall seeing these instructions anywhere. After doing the standard tethered re-root every time there was an OTA update I discovered that you don't need to tether. I've been doing it this way for the past several updates and it has worked perfectly every time. Not sure if this will work for major version updates though. As usual, YMMV, back up your data, I'm not responsible for data loss, bricks, etc. etc.
Install TWRP and Magisk the usual tethered way the first time you root. There's no way around this.
When an OTA update comes out, allow it to download but do not let it install itself.
Download the latest TWRP Fajita zip to your device if you don't already have it. https://dl.twrp.me/fajita/
Reboot to recovery and decrypt if necessary.
Back up your data if you don't feel like living on the edge.
Hit the install button and browse to /sdcard/.Ota and select the latest zip, which was downloaded automatically earlier.
Tap the button to add another zip, and select the TWRP zip that you downloaded earlier.
Swipe to install, reboot when done. It is crucial to install both zips without rebooting in between, otherwise you'll have to tether.
After the post-boot update process completes, open the Magisk Manager app and hit the Install button for Magisk (not Magisk Manager). Choose to download zip only.
Reboot to recovery and decrypt if necessary.
Hit the install button and browse to /sdcard/Download and select the Magisk zip that you just downloaded. Swipe to install, then reboot.
Magisk app should now show Magisk is installed again.
Profit.
