Ive seen one click root apk's for every version of Android right up to 4.1/4.2  but i cant find one for my i9300 international on jb 4.3, and as ive never rooted a phone before i wanted an apk rather than going the pc way, if i'd known beforehand i'd never of used the ota update to 4.3, i've tried everything from rootmaster to framaroot to poot, kingo, towelroot RSroot,to update-zip but none of them work, does anyone know any others that might root an i9300 international on jb 4.3 ?, suggestions would be appreciated.

Kernel build date? Have you tried alternate modstrings? The default is Samsung and may need to use alternate mod strings if the kernel hasn't been patched

Hey guys I'm having an issue rooting my Galaxy Discover--don't ask lol. Towelroot worked back when I had an S3 but it says that it isn't supported for SGH-S730M and my AV keeps flagging all of the files in the guides I found on google, any suggestions?

Thanks in advance

I was able to resolve the issue last night with some help from Factionwars, but thanks for posting nonetheless. I found that Kingo root is the only thing that worked-- and wasn't a trojan.

Here is some work on towelroot by my good friend Tim.
I could contact him with any questions you guys have about it, he knows his shit about this vuln.
He is working on getting it into metasploit:

Re: lsD which version of S3 have you got ? I've got an I9300 international  i used the ota to 4.3 jb (big mistake) and not only does towelroot not work but nor does the other 5 or 6 others ive tried, i've never rooted before so im not confident enough to go flashing roms etc im trying to find a "one click" rooting app for my I9300 4.3 jb but have had no luck at all up to now.

Try using the newly landed metasploit module for it:

exploit/android/local/futex_requeue
https://github.com/rapid7/metasploit-framework/commit/af405eeb7dcd555cd6ef31cd8dbc225780c72a40
https://github.com/rapid7/metasploit-framework/pull/4287

If your phone is vulnerable, it will work.

Jim, you could try what I did when I found towelroot is useless. http://forum.xda-developers.com/verizon-lg-g3/general/root-easiest-to-root-lg-g3-t2883089
