Tried searching the forums but couldn't really find anything on this. I have the most updated firmware for my GS3, PALG8. Is the root method the same as it is for LG6 and lower or do I have to wait for someone to come out with a root method for this version?

Thank you, I wasn't sure since my last phone was the EVO4G and it had different root methods depending on the firmware version. The second method worked fine thank you =D

Now we have US Tmobile T889. Where and how we can root this phone ?
In it's own forum once someone discovers the root and creates the forums.
Patients, it JSUT came out.
Also, I got the white and iPhone owners are jealous. They keep doing side-by-side comparison.

HAHA. I was going to ask the same question.
I didn't realize how big this phone was until I held it in my hands (coming for G-Nex), but the thing that caught me off guard was the sheer speed. This phone is freaking FAST. Had it for couple of hours and I love it!!!!

did he try using CWM to install it? that's the best way to go about it. since CWM should universally work.

why? both phones have the EXACT same chipset. i'm pretty sure you can flash n7100 stock firmware on t-mobiles and it would work. the reason why previous phones were not inter-flashable was because of the differetn chipset used. both n7100 and t889 use the SAME exynos chip. this should be fun. I'm ging to buy an AT&T and flash the N7100 to get rid of the bloat.
thanks it worked like a charm

I believe you need root to install/use recovery.
Trying to root with the wrong procedure can (and did ) brick a phone. After root, flashing ROMs cannot brick a phone IF you ONLY flash from Recovery. If it doesn't work or even boot up - flash something else or restore backup.

Yes, it would be nice if a tmobile user would confirm the method they used. Want to root so I can get some titanium backups restored.
I can verify that root works with the toolkit on TMOUS SGH-T889. Selecting option 2, then option 4 [works on any build]. 5 minutes later, root and CWM.

they are probably different radios. just because they are the same chipset doesn't mean things will work properly. if they have different radios. which they should. flashing the international will mess up your radio. (baseband, modem, etc)
anyone else get the prompt to update the software? are you going to update?
Got it and did it 2 days ago
Same and same
probably too early to know, does anyone know if this update will affect root? coming from htc, i remember updates were frowned upon as they can make rooting more difficult.

The search function doesn't tell me what you tried to do.. I already wrote a tutorial on how to downgrade successfully. Since I don't know what you've tried so far there's nothing I can do right now to help you.

Here you go.. Make sure you substitute the Verizon firmware for the AT&T firmware as @TechNyne66 said, the OGG firmware.. As long as it's firmware from AT&T you should be good to go.. However if it still errors out and doesn't work that means they (AT&T) have blocked it and you'll have to enter into recovery and select full system restore in order to fix it and get it back to where it is right now.. I'd first make a backup if I were you!!

Use PB2 ODIN file. It's the best 5.1.1 firmware.
I did it using only ap and csc files

If you are past the the PH4 update this is not the thread for you.
If you are still on PH4, stop trying to downgrade your bootloader, unless you are flashing a Binary 3 bootloader.
All of this has been explained within this forum. Check my profile and go to my posts. I've already wrote it all up two or three times...

Just picked up this device second hand and I want to know if there's a root for PK1. I know there's root for older mm versions but I'm not sure about PK1. If you know anything about root for this version please let me know!
mines is rooted. i use the same methods from the previous versions, no difference. i recommend using odin v3 10.06. and use twrp 3.0.01. Here is a link below to guide you, once you follow the instructions you are home free. GL!

I recently got this phone and will root the phone soon. Rooting guides say I need unlocked bootloader for root. I haven't found a guide how to do this, where can I find reference?
Also I will probably go for stock rooted. For those who have custom roms, is there any particular reason you went with the rom?
Thank you.
