Okay if you can download teamviewer I can do it remotely for you?
On your pc if you have windows or mac its better you have windows tho
Once you have teamviewer installed and downloaded pm me your id and password.

You'll have superuser if all you did was follow qbking77 no you still need to get an su.zip and flash it in recovery.
Download this :http://db.tt/k27ybNxy
To flash turn off the phone and hold the camera button volume down and the power button until the 4 lights turn on. Then follow this.
Once in clockwork mod to navigate volume up and down and to select use the camera button.
1. Select *install zip from sd card*
2. Select *choose zip from sd card*
3. Find the su efgh.zip it should be in the downloads folder. And selet it
4. Choose to install and say yes.
5. When its done press the back button (light up button)
And choose reboot system now.
Viola done now you have superuser.

You need Odin installed on your PC, and this file I have attached. Turn your phone off, hold down both volume buttons and hook up the USB cable which is already connected to the machine running Odin. Open Odin, and select PDA, find the file you downloaded from this post and select it. Now click start in Odin & violla !
Ahh k will it wipe my data. The reason I asked is since i'm rooted with a stock ROM with clockwork recovery installed,.will I still get ota's.

No it won't wipe your data.
As far as OTAs go, it has to be stock everything.
seems to be stuck and setup connection, does it take a long time?

According to someone no you can't. You need stock recovery to get OTA.
You can flash back to stock recovery by http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1319830
yeah with that button combination im going into clockwork recovery?

No problem buddy, hope all is well.
Is it possible to add clockwork mod recovery on our phones w/o using Odin (directly from the phone) ? I was able to do this one the infuse 4g but I haven't seen any thing in the forums about it. Or a way to root w/o it either. I'm hardly ever home in close to my laptop so this would be a great help.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium
Yes. Use the thread sfhub inntje development section that is stickied at the top. U can flash the stock kernel with cwm without using Odin.

Trying to be helpful, so...
No, because you need to use ADB (Android debug bridge) to run the zergrush exploit locally on the phone. you cant push the files onto the phone from itself or use the exploit. The best that they have right now is mobile Odin, but thats for flashing files over partitions, not rooting or a installing a recovery..

recovery should be built into the kernel that he is going to (mobile)odin and mobile odin will inject root into the system if the option is selceted. if used severel time and i think it works great. The only thing it failed me on was the modem. Has to do that at a CPU.

Technically he could download the zergrush files to his phone and run them and root... Then download a kernel to the phone and write it with dd

Congrats Chris. I've been meaning to ask if you received the phone or if that guy was full of sheot.
So Ive pretty much given up on trying to connect my phone to my laptop. Any way to root this phone with an app or something?? Like gingerbreak or z4root??
Sent from my SGH-T989 using Tapatalk
Nope, you need to flash cwm recovery through Odin then flash superuser.zip to root. Maybe rom manager has the cwm. Then reboot into recovery then flash the zip but I'm not sure. I don't use rom Manager

Was your problem narrowed down to your phone or the pc? I had a similar problem, but it was driver issues. After downloading Kies, it works fine.

Actually there is a way.
Here is how I did it.
Download Rom Manager FREE and Premium.
Flash clockworkmod recovery for GSII Tmobile
Download Superuser from "Download Rom" section and scrolling down to where it says "Superuser"
Install the latest Superuser, and you're done!
It's that easy.
And then to get busybox, you can search the market for busybox installer and install the latest version of it.

oh wow you still didn't get it to work? yeah narrow it down to either the pc or the phone.
his previous phone states that his old t989 connected completely fine to the laptop but after doing an exchange the new one is not detected. He has tried reinstalling and uninstalling the drivers, kies, and removing whatever is installed through usb with usbdeview.
so yeah, i'm stumped also. any of the mentioned method worked for me... soo good luck once again op! lol

The point of making this is ODIN is only built for windows HEIMDALL ( IMO IS superior) and is cross platform compatible
I have two versions and they all come with TWRP recovery(also superior imo)
if someone wants a full stock/wo root let me know but I created these to make it easy to flash other roms.
Or if you just want Heimdall files tars let me know.
Instructions:
reboot into download mode
MAKE SURE YOU HAVE AT LEAST JAVA 1.6 INSTALLED ON YOUR SYSTEM vista may require select dlls
windows :double click jar boot in download mode and click start
linux open a console type java -jar "jarfilenamehere.jar" boot into download mode click start
osx double click jar boot in download mode click start
HOW TO BOOt INTO DOWNLOAD MODE
Power down phone completely
Simultaneously Press and Hold [Power] [Home] [VolDn] until confirmation screen appears
Press [VolUp] to enter Download mode
Rooted+TWRP
