How To Root the Galaxy S III (All Versions)(MSkip ToolKit Method)(Video)
Ready to flash a custom ROM or overclock your Samsung Galaxy S III already? Don’t blame you. Rooting your Galaxy S III and loading a custom ROM afterwards will allow you to flash Jelly Bean and even a vanilla Android Jelly Bean version onto the device removing the weird Samsung UI skin. That alone would be reason for me.

Just waiting for the developer to update the program. Shouldn’t be too long actually. If you want to ask him why he hasn’t added it yet, go ahead.
