can i root my sgh-t989 after i update to ics. will i still be able to use ics and just have the capabality to remove bloat and all root fucntions?
if you are a developer you probably can, but if aren't you have to wait for somebody to release rooted version of this rom
Since it isnt actually out yet, we dont know what will work to root with any certainty. You just have to wait.
thanks
I just got this update. Without realizing I updated it. Now i want root :/
D'oh! It will be out soon, we have excellent devs!
lol i know. The only thing is i tether it with my streak7 which is installedi n my car and use it as a gps and media center. with internet radio. I cant tether no more t-mobile app needs to be deleted via titanium backup which requires root!

You can root the new ICS ROM
It is rooted via the same old method used to root the original stock rom. you can get all the files either here on this site or from galaxys2root.com. the root site has a youtube video if you need a step-by-step hand holding.

Hey guys hope someone can help me out here. I have been flashing different roms to try them out and am currently running cm7. I have always kept a nandroid backup of my stock sense rom in case anything went wrong or if I had to take the phone back to sprint. However I have somehow managed to erase my back up and want to know where to go to download a stock evo rom. Apologies if this is a stupid question but I'm still in the process of learning.

Right on for this hint. Do you know if I will be able to receive ota updates from sprint with this rom, like when gingerbread is updated to evo.
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
You will not get OTA updates, but can reasonably expect rooted 2.3 Sense ROMs here on XDA within a couple hours of the official release. If you do get an OTA update notification in Sprint Lovers it will get rid off root if you upgrade. The phone will still be S-off so it should be easy to go back.
This is as close to stock as you can get while maintaining root privileges. This is a rooted stock rom that has NOT been deodexed.

Pardon my ignorance , but this is my first android device , with my first OTA update .. I searched high and low for methods of removing CWM but i''m confused, i saw methods involving using looper.zip , deleting /system/hijack/.. or using mobile odin to install the OTA . I couldnt find looper.zip anywhere, not even on clockworkmod.com . Which method will allow me to keep all my data ?
Thanks for helping this noob.
I just tried Mobile Odin , but same results.. update failed. What can i do?
So it fails when you try flashing stock recovery through odin, not really sure but this maybe you have to flash stock recovery and stock rom for the ota to work. This would cause you to lose your data, there's a thread about how to root a t999v try asking there

The phone is rooted already, and i would really like to save my data. What is the best way to remove CWM ? Can i just deleted the files from my phone using ES file explorer + root access ?
Damn I seem to be in the same boat here. Mind you, I do have some apps (bloatware) frozen and even uninstalled. I think that this might be causing the problem. However, Titanium Backup seems to be hanging when I try to reinstall from my backups dammit!
Use kies. Download from samsung and follw directions and it should download and install it for you.
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app
I know it would work but UCK....I hate Kies. It installs a bunch of crap on your PC.
By the way, THIS IS NOT AN UPDATE TO JB!! Those are merely bug fixes for ICS. It will update from T999VVLALE6 to T999VVLALH2. Lets just say "I have my sources".

91 % discharging , 15m47sec on battery , screen is at 61% , and cell standby is 12%, i seem to recall the cell standby always being much higher, so maybe they did change the framework.
Updating via kies worked, it removed CWM and SU . Still Android 4.0.4 , but with brightness in notification bar.
Touch screen issues still persist in games like Worms, where after a moment they do not respond at all anymore.
T999VVLALH2
Not really worth the update.
In case anyone is having problems still or doesn't want to update through kies you can download the fw from the link below to install with odin.
http://www.sammobile.com/firmware/?page=3&model=SGH-T999V&pcode=0&os=1&type=1#firmware
You have to register though.
Also appears to only be out for Videotron and Mobilicity.
If anyone has updated and rooted (or even if you havent updated yet) and is willing to grab a copy of the modem let me know.
I'm still looking for both the original and the updated ones from both Mobilicity and Videotron.
Thanks!

Hey thanks alot for those links! I hate Kies and there's no way I was gonna install it on my fresh Win 7 install!
Since it's the first time I'll be updating through Odin, could you tell me if my root and CWM will be preserved? By the way I installed Voodoo OTA Rootkeeper.
CWM will not. It will write its updated stock recovery. I have had both success and failure with ota rootkeeper, but I probably did something wrong when it failed. Should work for you though, just dont wipe data/factory reset before restoring root. Many others reported it working btw.
If you do lose root it shouldnt be a ptoblem to reroot the same way you did the first time.

You can get all the FW and itas here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1949687
Just to clarify, Mobile Odin won't unroot you, but it will reinject root during flash so you stay rooted.
Also you can get the ota if rooted but if you don't have stock recovery, modem and everything else it'll fail.
Using Mobile Odin and the fw in my thread will work. Just make sure the Everroot options are selected to keep root.
Voodoo OTA Rootkeeper can temp unroot you so maybe that's what you were thinking of?

Well if your just trying to unroot, go into your root program and have it uninstall itself. SuperSU and SUperuser both support the ability for them to fully uninstall themselves.
Will just need to install root via recovery again once your updated.... Pretty easy
Wellllll... I got a super root kit from this site rooted just fine but removed it frim my computer avg said it was infected.
Is that what you mean forgive me for being nooby

Mobile Odin should support internal sd.... I guess you have the free version from his thread here? I didn't realize it didn't support internal...sorry bout that.
In that case just plug into the computer and use pc odin. You can use regular fw or MrRobinsons root66 fw which is pre-rooted. You can find his thread in development.

I am only focusing on your phone. IF your rooted, then you will have an app in your app drawer called either superuser or supersu (That is your root ) Open that and click full uninstall, then your unrooted.
When your done with the update, you can use Odin (Windows Version) to flash a custom recovery and then install the supersu.zip file located in chainsfire's thread.
I have superuser. I cannot find an option within the app to do a uninstall.

You can also use mobile odin pro and enable everroot. If you maintain root, you can use goomanager from the market to install twrp recovery. Seems like there are a number of ways to do this, I just found this the easiest way.
I downloaded from samsungupdates sites and install de .tar file with mobile odin pro... and i kept root sou if u wanna be stock but keeping root i recommend you this way its easy!

So this can be used with Mobile Odin ?
So I installed a clean version of 4.1.1 and let it upgrade to 4.1.2. Is there anyway that I can get root on this without reflashing a complete ROM??? I was looking in the development section, and it looks like the only way to get root is to flash a complete image over this one (which I assume would wipe my data that I just finished putting back on).
I read a few threads saying that the Exploit previously used with no problem now breaks the camera. Any suggestions?
