i use philz recovery

brick chances are quite minimal, compared to when I rooted HTC Desire, that took me 2 days to do. need to unlock bootloader, and then root, and then manually implement Superuser with permissions, all via terminal and a simple program that was of that age when Desire was the pioneer of mobile phones!

if you want, i can upload an AIO tool, to single click root + su your S3, i did it easy, with 3 presses on keyboard, all done

no problem at all,

btw (i show off myself a bit), i learnt root and android environment the hard way using HTC Desire, and XDA forum. Lucky no brick phones up till now

hand itchy, going to try official CM11 nightly

you got the s3 driver in the PC d? might be USB problem or driver one

reinstall driver maybe can help, cuba also another uSB,

last resort: airdroid

airdroid = wireless connect to your S3 to control all of your S3, i use it too, helps save USB port life

AOSP has no USB OTG drivers implement, thats why

you cant use usb otg with aosp, as far as i know. cm11 has the usb drivers so usb devices connected to ub otg "should" work, I'm looking forward to test it with a usb dac amp

if they blend in the mix of AOSP + CM, then yes, but pure AOSP or AOKP might not work

using CM11 now, and working quite well, except the screen off audio stutter issue if using pegasusq governor

and that camera issue >.<

i'm using trebuchet launcher, so no hot word needed, btw latest nightly has trebuchet in force close instantly disregarding all actions done to it, will continue update on what happens on the cm11 nightly updates on a "user" perspective, the non geek illustration

Today's cm11 bug: video recording crashes camera but still can be connected back. Cam OK vid not OK
