Any other way to root without computer??

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??

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

Isn't there SuperOneClick? I've never used it, so I'm not sure if it's an application used on the PC or on the phone.

Superoneclick doesn't work on 2.3.6. They say it works on 2.3.5. Odin, easiest way.. why is it that you don't want to use PC??

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.
I'm just sayin!

I thought it was the other way around, but anyways. Odin really is the easiest way to root the phone, hardly takes any time either.

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

No! You need a computer

I think you can not root without a computer (because of all the ODIN stuff), but I guess ROMs can be installed using ROM manager. But using clockworkmod recovery seems easier.

You can't root without PC. Odin is the only way, my adhd girl can do this!

trolling?? or... just plain... nevermind

Rooting without a computer is the DUMBEST idea in the entire world. IF you screw up your phone, like most n00bs these days do, you will have NO WAY to recover your device without sending it in... not to mention no way to read XDA to discover what went wrong.

No need to install CWM from PC.
For this method you have to download 2 files (CWM.zip & SU-Busybox-Installer.zip) to you phone and you are ready to go.

This is to give root access, but to gain the abilty to flash SU to gain root access, you need ODIN and a PC. On the T989, it the only way to flash CWM. To summarize, SU is the saddle, but whats really important is the horse, CWM

Yeah thats right, even you can get a horse without PC. There is app called mobile odin which makes this possible. You can flash firmware with cwm using that, mobile odin requires rooted phone, which we did using prev posts.
I have su access with cwm installed on my phone without imcrease in flash counter and yellow exclaimation at boot.
I am planning to install good rom on this. Once I do it successfully I will try to put small tut on it.

Isn't half the point of the ROM Manager app to install a custom recovery? If you have root access, you can flash CWM through it. It's literally the first action listed when you open it.

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

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.

-noob question- Is it possible to root/flash roms with out a computer?

Sorry if this is covered somewhere else, I searched but did not find anything. I might be just searching the wrong topic or lack an understanding of these processes in general (lol, which I am sure I do anyway). So I have rooted and flashed custom rom's on other phones but always with the help of these amazingly easy to use how to threads and programs via a computer. Well I find myself in a situation with a kindle nook, Ipad, gs2 and my gs3 but no avaialable computer handy. I was wondering if any downloads have this ability to root/flash with out the aid of the comouter. Any help here is appreciated even if it is to just tell me this is a silly question, but hey if I didn't ask I wouldn't know and you all have been so much help in the past! Thank you

Ya I'll rephrase it since it is untrue, wasn't sure what I read in the past.

May be the same one but not sure. It has worked for me many times, Although im rooting a stock rom for Sprint, I always go back to an Updated stock rom before I ever flash any custom rom.(samsmobile or samsung-update for sprint L900 stock roms).
Hope this helps.

I had the same issue (su fc, no root) so I went into philz recovery and reapplied root there and it worked.
