Shouldn't be a problem. Just reflash clockwork mod from rom manager and it should fix it.

It might be that but it depends what clockwork your using. There's been a few bugs with 5.xxxx that a simple reflash will do. Like me I lost recovery image and couldn't flash roms or boot into recovery but I just reflashed clockwork and it worked fine

Easiest method to root?

Reason why I ask is because, for any internet access to the internet on my computer I will be using hotspot on the phone I'm rooting.

P.s. I have the T-Mobile version if it matters.

This is what I did... go to the guide in general and look for how to root
Then download odin and recovery (whichever u prefer) then download In Developement Darkside data wipe and download any rom you want that has root.
1. Open odin
2. Put ur phone in DL mode (power+vol up and down+plug in usb)
Then place the recovery in the PDA slot
3. Then start
Then in CWM go flash the Darkside datawipe (it'll take a lil while)
Then flash your desired rom then reboot

If not... then it'll give you an option in the guid if you want to flash superuser via CWM hope this helps!

This will work with stock ics? Do I need a Rom? Can I do this method without?

Go here, download all of the files to your phone, transfer the drivers, odin, and the recovery.tar to your computer, then follow the steps outlined and root. It's what I did because we are on dial up Internet, but I i have data on my phone, so I just downloaded and transfered the files. Write down the directions on paper too, so you don't have to worry about missing a step.
Goodluck!

It's not installing the su file, keeps saying installation aborted. Restarted the phone and it said I had an update for superuser, updated it but all my root apps still won't work.

You've done the fix permissions right? And sometimes you need to attempt repeatedly. The last thing is, try using this version

First try to do a factory restore in recovery. If that doesn't make it boot, you need to find a CWM one click and use that to flash.

If you can get into download mode: Power it off completely. Then Power On + Volume Down, then Volume Up to 'confirm'
You can then try a PC Odin One-click Full Reset. Maybe start with this one to make sure all works http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1721229 Then hit up Rwilco12s repository [http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1903252]and check out the others.
The directions for these are dead simple and very explicit. Take the time to read through them.
Make sure your phone is at least 60% charged before you start! You might want to power it off and plug it into the charger for a couple hours.
While it's charging download the one-click and launch it 'as adminstrator' and have it open waiting.
Then, if/after charging get it into download mode.
Also make sure you are in download mode before you plug in your phone to the computer.
If it shows up on any COM port your good to go. Start it and way till its done.
Good luck

Ok. I'll read through those links, but I cannot get into download mode.

I can boot into download mode, but neither odin or my computer recognize my phone.
I can still boot into stock recovery, can I do anything with that?

Make sure the drivers are installed for your phone

I was using pacman Rom
I dont remember which rom I was wanting to flash. I flashed a kernal from recovery I believe CWM and this is what happened. I dont know if I was supposed to flash the rom at the same time. I thought I could flash the kernel then reboot and then boot back to recovery to flash the rom.

The last time I used this computer was when I rooted this phone, so all the same drivers should still be on.

Try it on a different spare computer? Sometimes computers get crazy and don't recognize things when they're supposed to.

When you do recover your phone, use a different recovery, CWM has always given me problems. I use 4ext and I love it!

This computer is my spare. My main computer is an imac running just linux mint on it and I have another computer that has just ubuntu on it, so this is the only windows machine I have.
I restarted one more time and this time it recognized it! My phone is alive again. Thanks!
I was using agat recovery on the rom I had been using for about 2 months, I got a wild hair and decided to try another rom, that one replace my recovery with CWM and then when I tried to restore it didnt recognize my backup.

Isnt 4ext for evo 3d. Last time i checked it was so we epic 4g touch users need cwm not 4ext.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using Tapatalk 2

My bad mate, I didn't know 4ext was only intended for HTC. Try another recovery if you can, I heard TWRP is good!
I'm glad it worked! So is your phone atleast booting pass the Samsung Sii screen? Or still problems?
IDK if you're using a stable Rom or nightly roms, try to first flash your stock and see it from there?

Looks like he flashed a kernel and no rom and probably flashed an aosp kernel on a tw rom which wont boot, or vice versa. Or he flashed a kernel and then wiped the system which deletes the rom
I like to break stuff!

He likes to break stuff too, got to read op and double check before you flash. Speaking of flashing (not trying to hyjack thread) I need a safe recovery, on Garwyyn's stock rooted FK23 no recovery. Some what confused about what' s safe to use?
Any advise will be appreciated. :beer:

Okay, I'm not sure what you flashed with Odin. Download twrp and flash the recovery img in the past, with everything unchecked. Once you boot into recovery you have to flash the root file in the twrp root kit on that site.

Download the tar.md5 put the phone in download mode when phone off press & hold Home+Volume Down+Power, once in download follow on screen instruction to begin download mode, then plug the phone in.
Open odin, and select PDA, then select the philz file you downloaded and click start
