New to the S3 seems different than the S2 - T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII

Guys some help. I been searching around the proper filer to root this phone but some of the links are old and not working.
Somebody need to get all of these together and make it a sticky on the development section.
I guess to root this is like rooting my s2. Flash recovery with odin and then flash the SU. But cant find it.
I want the latest recovery for odin the latest su and I want the stock ICS and JB roms with odin in case I do something bad and I need to flash that to unroot. and get it stock.
Can somebody point me out this. And please somebody make those files sticky so future members like me and old member would have everything handy and easy to find.
another thing. Do we flash radios here? On my s2 we could flash any kind of tmobile radios for better performance and data. Witch are the radios?
Another thing that I noticed when this phone came out is the people were loosing the IMEI number on their device how was that posible and what they do so I wont go through it

go into the dev section
The files you want are stickied already
Yes you can flash radios
Also, in the dev section

As far as I know backing up your efs does not preserve your imei you must set it in modem mode and write it to an app on your desktop. Easy as pie to do though and it's on the forum with a writeup

Thank you for your information. I have found several ways to root. 1 with odin like I used to do with the s2. and 2 with a odin stock rom and no tripping flash counter. Is that still an issue. Is there a way to reset the counter? I used to go back to stock all stock on my s2 and root several times before and that was never an issue! First time I see this about flash counter!.

Yeah tripping the flash counter is still an issue. basically it just keeps you from using all share an to watch movies from the media hub.
What I did when I fist got the phone was Odin root66 then downloaded goo and installed twrp via the app "not cwm"

[Q] Flash CM10 without activating triangle or incrementing ODIN counter

Hello,
I'm currently running FI03 rooted and am looking to install the cm10 alpha. I have not been able to find a clear answer whether the information for flashing it in the official thread, here, or in this other guide results in the triangle being activated or the ODIN counter incremented. Is it possible to flash cm10 without causing either of these events?
Thanks!
I dont think so, just use triangle away after you flash if it bugs you.

Galaxy s4 tmobile remove root and flash to stock on a Mac help

Can someone tell me how to revert back to stock completely on a tmobile galaxy s4 on a Mac. I can't seem to find a guide or anything about this. If someone could help it would be greatly appreciated thanks.
http://www.androidrootz.com/2013/06/how-to-unroot-galaxy-s4-without.html?m=1
Try that way. I had some issues however because you can't then triangle away. I'm thinking of you mobile odin the first firmware our phone had than you could use the motochopper method to root again. Then triangle away. Then clean up root using superuser. Just a theory. Another way would be to run windows on your Mac. Let new know if flashing first firmware via mobile Odin than motochopper root than triangle away and unroot works. I'll go grab some helpful links

Read that too.
Also the reason you need the old firmware is because motochopper root method won't work on MDL firmware. But to go back to official you need to Odin back to stock. Root without installing custom recovery. Triangle away. Unroot through superuser. Only way I can think to do that on a Mac is mobile Odin pre MDL firmware. Goodluck

Let me know of that helps you. I'm in the same boat but I was just going to run a virtual machine and run windows on my Mac. You can Google how to do that as well than just use desktop Odin.

Root for Build number M919UVUEMK2?

Buddy of mine wants me to root his device if possible.
New to rooting the Samsung devices (HTC guy here). I've rooted the OG Evo, 3vo, Evo 4G LTE, and the One. So I know what I'm doing from that stand point.
My question is, will root for any M919 work for this device or is there a specific root method to use?
Sorry, if this has been answered before - trying to figure out where to head from here.
Thanks guys.

Np. Google search it. It's under the Verizon GS4 threads. I tested it out on my m919 and it works. Also check out Safestrap (3.71) for the recovery.

Will give it a look, awesome.
But, my buddy is being a little puss and wants to know how certain you are this won't brick his device.
I am certain it's safe, but he wants a little extra confirmation as well.
I swear I used this and it worked and it's harmless if it does not work. Look up harmless in the search box for that thread and you'll see the developer responding to my question

Running into a problem. Flashed a Google edition rom, mistakenly on the Stock rom Partition of the device. Phone didn't boot, stupidly forgot to make a nandroid.
Computer can't find the device in ADB and Mount USB storage isn't working in recovery. I can get to stock recovery and push the ROM but it's not accepting the update file.
Any ideas?
You can try flashing the stock odin image that is not rooted.

Have you tried just doing a factory reset and rebooting it?
Here is the link: https://www.copy.com/s/hzfaqBpWhinn/M919UVUEMK2_M919TMBEMK2_TMB.zip
I am not a hundred percent sure that this will keep the knox at 0, and I do not hold responsibility for anything you do to your or anybody else's electronic device.

That's fine. I can get ADB to work in stock recovery but it aways aborts installation after signature verification.
Trying the zip you linked just now.
Ok, got it back to stock.
Whew.
Now to try it all again with out screwing it up.

Supersu, Wanam, and KitKat

T-Mobile has released kit kat for the Note 3.
Has anyone tried using SuperSU's root keeper. Wanams ability to hide a custom Rom and taken the OTA. I was hoping if I disabled root and took the update I could re-enable root via and install Kit Kat from the OTA update without tripping Knox. Otherwise we need to get a rooted build and fkash it via Mobile Odin.
I tried and install failed

same thing here. I think I'm going to have to ODIN.
Hopefully someone will post a rooted build soon. Did you disable root before installing?

Apparently mobile odin can keep root on some of the other carriers builds without tripping knox. (have to flash bootloader separately)
I really wish there were step-by-step instructions...
Ha yea I had to use Kies to update and lost root nothing has changed so I would wait till there is update on how to root on 4.4.2

[Q] Wi Fi will not turn on

I have a sprint Samsung galaxy note 2. I was running cm 11 4.4.2 for a long time. I recently tried to flash some new 4.3 mk4 rims like venom ice and smoothest note2 note 3 rom but every time i do i loose Wi Fi. I have tried the Wi Fi fix with Oden but it never sees the file on my computer. When when i click on pda and goto the folder i saved it to it doesn't show it i am using Odin 3 v1.85 i have tried older ones and they will download but Wi Fi still won't come on. If anybody can help me out maybe a step by step process or help find the right band base for mk4 it would be very helpful .
thanks
Make sure that the file is not zipped (i think it is). Then it will flash properly in odin.

That's exactly what the problem is. I remember that you DO have to unzip the wifi fix file THEN it can be flashed within ODIN on your PC.
Good call Jlmancuso
