One of the popular name in the developer community chainfire, who also gave the CF-Root kernels for the Galaxy S, SGS2 has released a insecure kernel and root for the SGS3 based on the XX NEE ALE8 firmware.
Before you get too much excited and start questioning how the root is achieved without the device, let me explain that the developer has done it remotely over the release candidate SGS3 firmware.
According to chainfire,
the firmware of the shipped SGS3 will not differ much from the RC.
Therefore, the root process that works on the RC SGS3 firmware could
also work on the shipped one.
