I need to know how to root my Samsung sgh-t999 with the latest update to Jelly Bean.
Thanks
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=33460832
I suggest cf auto root. Read the whole post.
Easier step by step guides exist for a variety of rooting methods. I think this is the easiest. There are many posts and guides in this very forum.

If you follow directions it's very easy. Download root66, unzip it and flash using odin. You will have rooted jb

Cinci Bell SGH-T999
Greetings! I am a new SGH-T999 owner, not through T-Mobile but through Cincinnati Bell. My previous device is the Sprint GS3, which I Rooted, Flashed, etc extensively, so I have some familiarity with this stuff, but there are some differences between the 2 devices that I have questions about.
My new device is a Cincinnati Bell SG3 SGH-T999 with T999UVDLJA stock ROM:
Is it reasonable to believe this is a T-Mobile variant and I can follow procedures and use ROMs listed for SGH-T999? For example, any reason I can not use the autoroot or the root66 listed here?
Thanks in advance for your help!

You'd probably get a lot quicker answer if you searched the Q&A section or if you started you're own thread instead of taking over someone else's thread that hasnt been posted in for over a month.

Hi everybody, I recently got a Koodo Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T9898D and I wanted to know if the rooting process for my device is the same as the rooting process for the T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989. I realize there is no section for Koodo's (or Telus') version of the phone on the website, so I had to post here.

You betcha! There is a forum here

I used this method and it worked great! Just make sure you use the 3.0.7 efghi signed version of Superuser. I managed to use the other one, but i got the superuser app, but no root access until I used the correct version
Anyway, there you are. Enjoy your SII X!

thanks! I was going to use that guide or the galaxy 2 root "How to Root ICS/GB on T-Mobile Galaxy S2 SGH-T989!"
but both should work though. The guide you sent me says it's for 4.0.3, will it work for 4.0.4? And you're with Koodo right?

I used the guide on Android forums, only because there were pics, but both work and are the same. And yes, same procees, just use the Superuser 3.0.7 efghi signed version. And yup! No issues with Koodo whatsoever.

Oh okay, so did you use the process from the link you sent? And it seems the main difference between the two guides is that one uses Superuser 3.0.7 efghi signed version and one uses CWM-SuperSU-v0.87.zip. While they both should work, I was wondering what the differences between the Superusers were; I think 0.87 is better because it is compatible with future firmware upgrades

Well, there was a link to this guide on that forum -
http://androidforums.com/galaxy-s2-...d-ultimate-root-optimization-guide-steps.html
I used this guide only because it had a few more details than the other, but they are essentially the same steps. Also had some pics.
And about the superusers, i don't know the difference. However I was able to install superSU from the Play Store and also update the superuser version I was using after I obtained root.
So to answer your question, I have no idea haha. Personally I think it would be best to follow the guide, and then try to upgrade after rooting, but it's your choice.
Hopefully this helps, but if not, search is your friend

I sure was. I'm still using it because a few of the ICS roms are a little buggy. I've heard Jedi Mind Trick is pretty good tho. I just wanted something stable and bug free Stock with root woo!
And a little question. I think you are using one too many 8's. Your phone an SGH-T989D correct?

Telus T989D here and flashed using the method in the 2nd post worked perfectly. Used TWRP instead of CWM, rooted easily, even flashed radios (so I could unlock my SIM) back and forth, and installed AOKP.

Hey. i now you are saying that the rooting proccess is the same but do you know if all of the roms and customizations are the same? i am wanting to put CyanogenMod 10.1 RC3 on my Koodo Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T9898D but everything i am seeing is for T-Mobile.
Model number: SGH-T989D
Android version:4.1.2
any other details needed to find out which will work just let me know.
generally everything is mostly the same the only thing you might have issues with is your data you might have to find the APN settings for KODO and make sure to flash the newest radio MC6
Hey ive got the gliderunning n rogers stock and since it dosent seem we are going to be getting any ICS love up here i have. Acouple questions:
1) can i flash the leaked at&t rom onto an unrooted Rogers glide?
2) or can i flash at&t firmware onto the rogers to get the official update?
Thanks from a newb

You can absolutely flash the leaked AT&T rom onto an unrooted Rogers glide, it's no different from installing it on an AT&T glide. If you're new to flashing in general, you can see my walkthrough here.
You should also be able to flash a stock AT&T firmware onto it and get the official update through Kies, but that seems like more effort than it's worth. I'd recommend either flashing the leak (and then clockworkmod and the keyboard backlight fix) or waiting for someone to release a version of the official 4.0.4 rom with the AT&T bloatware removed, which should happen soon.
You'll need to set your APN to match Rogers, or your MMS and internet won't work.
Hey thank you very much for answering..prob gonna give it a shot tonight. Gotta love paying 600 for a phone outright to get no help from your carrier lol.

There is a stickies in this forum that are fine.... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1529058
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=26328017&postcount=123 <-- that is in a different sticky (less in depth instructions). Although with that you probably should download a more up to date recovery, but it would get you root with the old recovery.
That said...I recommend letting your friend do the work. That way he/she can learn, and if there is a problem, he/she can possibly fix it. Rather than being stuck without a device until you can get around to potentially fixing it. Especially if you plan on flashing custom ROMs and kernels.
So yeah has anyone found a flashable.zip for stock 4.1.2 cause I have been searching for a while now and I have only found the firmware to flash.if anyone has any info it will be great

ALSO: I have the T-MO. Variant SGHT999 T999UVDLJA
And actually, it doesn't matter what rom you use, you will still get lte data. If you have the T999L of course.

Most of the roms from this link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1949687 dwnload as a 7Z file type. To which my phone does not recognize. The only reason I am updating is because I got word that tmo. has updated to LTE here in wichita ks. When I called and asked how come I havent seen anything yet? the only suggestion was to update from 4.1.1 to 4.1.2
Oh.........
If you don't have the new model T999L, you will not, can not get lte.
The .7z files are root66 firmware. (As I answered in that thread yesterday, firmware gets flashed in odin, not from your phone).
If you follow the link for root66, you will see in the instructions you have to extract it first. Pretty sure this is in my thread too.

Telling you what you want to hear.
Exactly. Ask them why release a brand new, LTE capable model, if all the old one needed was a software update.

Actually I just re-read your post. The T999 can get LTE comparable speeds, but only if you can connect at HSPA+42. So it can get the soeed, just not actual LTE.

LTE toggle
Can you point me to a rom that has LTE built in? In example my stock rom had an option Gsm/WCDMA/LTE. But all the roms I have been trying just has WCDMA or GSM or both.

It doesn't work that way. And what you're seeing is the basic ROM features flashed onto every gs3. Like everybody has said, you won't get LTE unless you have the t999l
