ROOT T-Mobile ICS update - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989

First of all, if you brick or mess-up your phone, I am not responsible. Rooting also void your warranty. Do it at your risk.
I had problems rooting ICS T989UVLE1, after updating.
Here is a root proceedure.
1) Download the attached ICS-root.7z (your will need a 7zip software to uncompress it on your PC) and uncompress it.
2) Put your phone in Download mood
3) Start Odin (Odin is available at XDA from several threads. Search for it if you do not have it)
4) Flash recovery.tar.md5 from the uncompressed ICS-root archive, you downloaded and uncompressed in Step 1. (It is CWM Touch Recovery for SG SII T-989)
5) Attach your phone to your PC/laptop and copy ICS-su-busybox.zip to your phone sd card
6) Reboot your phone in recovery
7) CWM flash ICS-su-busybox.zip
8) Reboot phone and apply Busybox update from Market. (Note. ICS-root.7z Zip has an older version busybox. You must update busybox from Market otherwise some applications, particularly Titanium will give errors.)
9) You are done. Enjoy.

I tried with no luck. Phone is already rooted with the same method you mentioned. I flash the recovery image using the app, and the phone reboots to the stock recovery mode.
I'm not running the phone on a stock firmware.. Could that be the problem?

I have the SAME problem! SU ok but the phone reboots to the stock recovery.... My firmware is original... What I do now?
Sorry, but VROOT threads are being closed by the moderation team because they appear to be collecting information off of devices. So, until this method is verified to be working safely and without malware, I would advise everyone not to use this method. Please report them to the moderation team.

Step 1
Firstly Download the necessary files:

B510*= https://drive.google.com/?usp=chrome_app#folders/0ByjEFdm-4A3EQlZuejlla2xaUTQ

Minimal ADB and Fastboot ^= https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B1S0LCuXCnnmSWh6NGJmSE1BUWc/edit
^ is optional and * is a must
Step 2 Method A
Now the steps will be different depending on what rom you currently have installed if you have a custom or beta firmware/rom installed and twrp you will need to:
Firstly Flash Your Recovery to Stock = http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2636231
Flash B132= Extract the B132 file and copy it's dload folder onto your internal memory>then reboot your phone into recovery by>holding pwr+vol up+ vol down continuously untill it starts recovery>after it finishes setup your phone then follow the next step
Flash B510 =(do not flash with recovery) do so by taking the zip file as is(do not extract) and copying it onto your P6's internal memory under the dload folder(if it's not there create it) then on your P6's goto settings>about phone>system update>local>update then let it update.When it's done you have successfully installed Kitkat, if you want go on to (optional further steps)
Flash TWRP = http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2636231 then
Install the mods =Reboot to Recovery>hold pwr+vol up+ vol down continuously untill it starts> Start with Pure graphics>Pure Performance>Pure audio>Bravia>then clear cache> Reboot > And You are done you have a optimized B510 rom
Or if you are already on a stock rom like B111 or so then you can just:
skip the 1 instruction on the list and just do the rest.
[Note]
You can replace B510 with B512,B513 if you wanted to.
B512 = http://dl-uk.huaweinews.com/index.php?dir=Roms/Ascend-P6/&file=B512.zip
B513 = http://dl-uk.huaweinews.com/index.php?dir=Roms/Ascend-P6/&file=B513.zip
Method B
1. Start with Paranoid Android, OMNI or any other AOSP-based ROM.
2. Back up all data with Titanium backup and copy everything you need from your internal storage. ATTENTION: The internal storage will be wiped while flashing, so the backup MUST be on your SD-Card.
3. Copy dload folder to SD-Card or internal storage. (there should be no difference)
4. Boot to TWRP and make a backup in-case something goes wrong.
5. In TWRP wipe everything except internal and external storage.
6. In TWRP choose reboot to bootloader. Confirm that no OS is installed and don't install SuperSU.
7. Plug your phone in your PC and open a CMD.
8. Download B510 recovery.img and boot.img from this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...php?p=51718316.
9. Follow the instructions by @surdu_petru(method1)
(or use this(method 2)choose install recovery image first, then the boot image
or use Method 3>
copy both the recovery and boot img files to your adb folder then>
run these commands:
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot reboot recovery
. IMPORTANT: When the flashing is finished and the phone reboots unplug the USB cable then wait for recovery to open and let it install.
10. You are finished!! The first boot takes some time no need to panic.
Additional:
Reinstall TWRP and flash SuperSU for Root. Than you can restore your backup you made in the second step.

[How-to] Root stock 4.4.2 version L710VPUDOH1

I recently decided to pick up my old Samsung Galaxy S3 which I no longer use as a daily phone (love my Huawei and Moto G) and give it some updated love. I first updated it with stock L710VPUDNJ2 tar package with Odin3 v3.10.0
After successful update, I noticed I had lost root but in addition, the phone booted up with additional system update package which I accepted and successfully updated to L710VPUDOH1
I tried previous root methods but none of them worked for me (included CF-auto root, and also trying to push CWMS3 package through Odin etc.). So I decided to try Kingroot 4.9.3 which rooted the device but I do not like Kingroot so I then flash TWRP 3.0.2 through flashify, uninstalled Kingroot, and pushed SuperSU zip package through TWRP recovery and now I have a rooted stock L710VPUDOH1
Here are the step by step (assumes you already have ADB/minimal ADB, and Samsung drivers installed on your PC):
1. Download the Odin zip, L710VPUDOH1 tar, UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.00 zip, and twrp-3.0.2-0-d2spr img files onto your desktop. Transfer the twrp img file onto your phone internal or SD card storage
2. Extract the Odin zip package and have the unzip folder on your desktop for convenience
3. Run Odin3 as administrator
4. Start up your Galaxy S3 in download mode (vol down+Home+Pwr) and connect it to your PC with USB cable. Verify connect on Odin as it shows it connected with a COM port number
5. Make sure "Auto reboot" and "Reset time" is checked (by default they are checked). Check the AP box and click on AP and find the downloaded L710VPUDOH1 tar file, select it, and click OK. Then click Start button on Odin3
6. Once updated is successful, your phone should reboot and also the dialog box on the lower left corner of Odin should state update was successful
7. You should receive an OTA message on your phone regarding System Update Available (make sure your are on Wi-Fi or reliable data connection). Accept the update. Phone will update and reboot (you are now running L710VPUDOH1)
8. Download and install Kingroot from the following website (using your phone browser): http://www.apkmirror.com/apk/kingro...elease/kingroot-4-9-3-2-android-apk-download/
9. Run the app package (Avast Security and possibly other antivirus apps may give warning). It will install Kingroot and another app call Purify
10. Root your phone using Kingroot. You will get a pop up message regarding Knox. Tap on "Deny"
11. Go to Google Play Store and download and install Flashify. Run Flashify and grant permission with Kingroot. Flash the twrp img file (you now have custom recovery)
12. Uninstall Purify app (using the stock app manager on your phone) and uninstall Kingroot by going into Kingroot, then Settings (on the upper right hand corner), and scroll all the way down to the bottom and select "Uninstall Kingroot". After uninstall you will lose root
13. After uninstall, turn off your phone and boot into Recovery (vol up+Home+PWR). Your phone should boot into TWRP recovery. Now install the SuperSu zip file using TWRP to inject root back into your system
14. Reboot your phone. Go to Google Play Store to update to the latest SuperSU version (2.65) and then go to SuperSu to update the binary and reboot
15. You now have a rooted stock 4.4.2 version L710VPUDOH1. Use your program of choice to debloat and remove system apps (I personally use System App Remover by Jumobile)
I am NOT RESPONSIBLE for any brick devices and/or voided warranties. Always proceed with caution and read and re-read instructions carefully. This is just one simple man's experience. I have attached some of the necessary files (some files cannot be included due to size limits) if you do not want to download them directly from other sites.

No need for Kingroot. Just boot into download mode, flash TWRP with Odin, pull battery before the S3 reboots, boot into TWRP, flash SuperSU, reboot system, profit!

I tried this method and I was not successful. When I try to flash the TWRP .tar image with Odin, it would stall and get stuck. If this works for others, that's great. That's why I ended up trying the Kingroot approach.

[TUTORIAL] Root SM-A105FN (tested)

It's my first post and my English isn't very good but I will try to do my best. If someone have problems tell me ^^.
IMPORTANT: NEVER TRANSFER IMPORTANT FILES USING MTP, USE ADB.
1. Download latest firmware using SamFirm and install it in your phone.
2. Extract from the AP the file "boot.img.lz4", transfer to your phone and extract it using ZArchiver. You will get a file "boot.img" .
3. Install Magisk Canary and patch "boot.img".
4. Transfer USING ADB the magisk_patched.img to your PC, rename to "boot.img" and compress it into a .tar called "boot.tar".
5. Unlock bootloader (there are so many tutorials in this forum, don't panic, it's very easy).
6. Untick Auto-Reboot in Odin and flash the "boot.tar", then reboot your device and, immediately, press Vol UP + Power to enter into recovery and erase all data (factory default).
7. Configure Android, install the Magisk Canary apk and let it do stuff. The phone will reboot and you have your phone rooted .
If reboot into recovery don't panic, just press reboot to system (it's normal).
DON'T USE REBOOT OPTION IN POWERMENU, YOU CAN LOSE ROOT, INSTEAD, USE POWER OFF AND THEN TURN ON THE PHONE.
Hi. I'm a newbie. I've got this new Samsung and it's first time rooting Samsung phones. I'm stuck at step 6. Odin says <ID:0/005> Can't open the specified file. (Line: 2006). What should I do? I mention I've put the "boot.tar" file into AP. Or how else should I flash with Odin?
EDIT: SOLVED! I had to run Odin as Administrator

Before you move further, make clear that rooting device -
- Your warranty will be void
- Some of functions may not work on rooted device, some function may get back with unrooting, some functions may never.
- All your data on device will be lost (Factory Reset is in the Instructions below)
- Flashing custom binaries may brick (Usually it's a soft but can be hard brick too), so follow it on your own risk!
Now that you accept the risks, let's have some fun -
Important: Although this is a simple guide you must follow all directions clearly
Simple guide to root your device and install TWRP after unlock: (Thanks to @Krog18 )
1. Download vbmeta_disabled.tar, TWRP for your device, magisk and multidisabler-samsung-2.6-afaneh92
2. Reboot to download mode and flash vbmeta_disabled.tar in ap slot and reboot. Device will reboot to recovery mode prompting you to wipe data so wipe data and reboot to download mode again.
3. Uncheck auto reboot in Odin and flash TWRP in ap slot.
4. Hold volume down and power until the screen goes black then immediately switch to holding volume up, Bixby button (10 series only) and power to reboot into TWRP
5. Flash multidisabler and reboot recovery
6. Go to wipe, format and type yes to format data
7. Flash magisk
8. Make a backup of efs and store it somewhere safe
9. Reboot
*First boot may take 10-15 minutes. If it doesn't boot in 15 minutes, force reboot by holding power and volume down for at least 10 seconds
Additional Method For Rooting If Above method did not work for you:
Step 1 : (Root Base Firmware with Magisk By patching files yourself, Then Flash TWRP in Odin)
Prepare Firmware files for root
You need to Patch AP File to flash using Odin to root device.
1. Download stock firmware for your device ie (SM-N975U/U1, SM-G973U/U1, SM-G975U/U1)
You need to download file according your region and model.
2. Once you finish download, extract files and keep all files on in a folder on the desktop of PC. From extracted files find the file with name AP_[device_model_sw_ver].tar.md5 copy to your Phone.
3.Download Latest Magisk Manager and Install to your device (Make sure to check for updates) (Optionally go into settings and switch the update channel to BETA)
4.Open Magisk Manager - Find Magisk Install (Top One) - Click Install - select to "Select and Patch file" - Click the AP file you have copied to your device (AP_[device_model_sw_ver].tar.md5)
5.Magisk Manager will patch the entire firmware file and output the newly Patched AP file to [Internal Storage]/Download/magisk_patched.tar
6.Now Copy patched AP file magisk_patched.tar back to Your PC
7.Download latest Odin and extract to Desktop on your PC
Step 2. Installing custom firmware files with Odin
1. Reboot to download mode and select volume up to continue:
2. Open Odin (as administrator) {Right-Mouse click--Open As Administrator}
Select AP in Odin and use the magisk_patched.tar file you have patched {The file you just patched with Magisk} for AP tab of Odin
Select BL,CP and CSC files (Use the files from the firmware you downloaded earlier) (This is VERY important, DON'T just flash only the magisk_patched.tar)
(Use All of the respective files BL, CP, CSC)
3.From Odin option - uncheck Auto Reboot option (I do this because I like rebooting when I'm ready)
4. Make sure all files are in the right place, Now Hit Start and wait till it's completely finish. When It shows PASS in Odin, disconnect device.
Okay Now the hard part is over, you can let the phone boot to system and Skip all Setup Steps because Next is TWRP.
Step 3. Odin: Flash Twrp and Boot with Magisk
Very Simple yet very Important:
1. Download the respective TWRP (Twrp<version_number>.TAR for you phone model (This is going to Odin flashed so you need .TAR file)
2. Reboot your phone into Download Mode, Hold Vol- and Power Button until it gets to DL Screen and press up for "Yes"
3. Put the Twrp<version_number>.TAR in the AP slot
4. Make sure the file is selected, (Unselect Auto-reboot in options tab in Odin) and in place and hit Start
5. Wait until it's finished, Now Hold Vol- and Power until you see black screen, release and then hold Vol+ and Power until you see TWRP recovery
Now Flash Multidisabler and Magisk
1. Flash multidisabler (Mega) (Google Drive) and reboot back to TWRP
2. Wipe data and storage
3. Flash Latest Magisk
*Enjoy
*** Remember: Make a backup of EFS through TWRP and save it to your desktop or Cloud service ie. MEGA, GDrive, Dropbox ****

I've been on Nexus and Pixel devices so long now I cannot remember much about modification on Samsung devices. Last one I had rooted was the Note 2. Anyway, bootloader unlocked and successfully rooted my SM-N975U (Note 10+). Now there are updates available so I am sorry if this isn't the place or if a dumb question, but is there any special way I need to do updates on the snapdragon so I don't relock the bootloader or lose root? With Pixel, ADB sideload was easy, not sure with this one.
Is there a multi disabler package that is compatible with the SM-N976V ? I have tried multiple iterations of multidisabler-samsung-2.6c-afaneh92 but am have trouble.

Hey, just wanted to thank you for pointing me in the right direction. I've had my Sm-976V BL unlocked and rooted for a bit now, but have been busy hence the late reply.
I have an issue. I boot into TWRP just fine but all my files in sdcard are nothing but random numbers and letters
I think this happens when you don't wipe your data. You also need to flash a decryption file. It happened to me at first because I didn't wipe all data.[/QUOTE]

Step 1 : (Root Base Firmware with Magisk By patching files yourself, Then Flash TWRP in Odin)
Prepare Firmware files for root
You need to Patch AP File to flash using Odin to root device.
1. Download stock firmware for your device ie (SM-N975U/U1, SM-G973U/U1, SM-G975U/U1)
You need to download file according your region and model.
2. Once you finish download, extract files and keep all files on in a folder on the desktop of PC. From extracted files find the file with name AP_[device_model_sw_ver].tar.md5 copy to your Phone.
3.Download Latest Magisk Manager and Install to your device (Make sure to check for updates) (Optionally go into settings and switch the update channel to BETA)
4.Open Magisk Manager - Find Magisk Install (Top One) - Click Install - select to "Select and Patch file" - Click the AP file you have copied to your device (AP_[device_model_sw_ver].tar.md5)
5.Magisk Manager will patch the entire firmware file and output the newly Patched AP file to [Internal Storage]/Download/magisk_patched.tar

Select AP in Odin and use the magisk_patched.tar file you have patched {The file you just patched with Magisk} for AP tab of Odin
Select BL,CP and CSC files (Use the files from the firmware you downloaded earlier) (This is VERY important, DON'T just flash only the magisk_patched.tar)
(Use All of the respective files BL, CP, CSC)
3.From Odin option - uncheck Auto Reboot option (I do this because I like rebooting when I'm ready)
4. Make sure all files are in the right place, Now Hit Start and wait till it's completely finish. When It shows PASS in Odin, disconnect device.
Okay Now the hard part is over, you can let the phone boot to system and Skip all Setup Steps because Next is TWRP.

3. Put the Twrp<version_number>.TAR in the AP slot
4. Make sure the file is selected, (Unselect Auto-reboot in options tab in Odin) and in place and hit Start
5. Wait until it's finished, Now Hold Vol- and Power until you see black screen, release and then hold Vol+ and Power until you see TWRP recovery

which TWRP version to flash and which odin? hope i can get answer i had N975U1 unlocked bootloader
Anyone else getting that pesky "Android 11 Update" since they have rooted? I keep postponing it. I'm guessing it will fail if I try to install. Not sure what I should do.
Sammobile don't seem to have the firmware available yet. I was thinking installing it with odin then patching AP with Magisk
