[Q] ROOT Wind T999V S3 - T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII

Does anyone have any idea on how I can root my t999v? And I also would like a ROM that doesn't affect wifi tethering

Use the same rooting guide available for the us version n just keep it stock or just theme it?

I just want a simple guide to root it and a good stock rom

When you root your phone it will stay with stock features the is your choice to add themes or extra apps? Just do you research first?

This question has been asked about 54,872 times. No. The app needs to be updated for JB.

Seriously..for the life of me I can't figure out how this question still comes up. We've had leak after leak and in every thread for every rom this is asked dozens of times. I'm not usually one to chime in on things like this, but it's become so ridiculous it's borderline laughable.
OP, this isn't really a dig directly at you, but for everyone that keeps asking. Simply searching or even reading a thread would have given you an answer.

I hear you..that's why I said I wasn't really directing at you. More venting about the clowns that are in those threads still asking. You searched, so my hat's off. My apologies. Personally, I don't see a huge advantage to the upgrade. I'm staying on ICS for now. For me the battery has been better and can indeed tether if needed.

Apparently some one was able to get the bluetooth to work on there gs3 sharing to there mac book pro. Not wifi but something.

someone special just needs to "mod" the stock native sprint wifi app. its been done on past devices, epic, evo, etc., just don't get why the S3 is lacking when it comes to getting the native wifi app working, neither on ICS or JB.
it's annoying having to rely on third party apps and having to jump through hoops to get one working.
i'd gladly donate funds to make it happen if need be.

Simple solution just use an Aosp rom "WiFi tether for root users" app from play works great on any of em. I'm on Blackbean 6 now and use it all the time. Flawless rom, more customization than anything made & tether works.

Yeah, it's by using the fox fi app, from what I've heard. No wifi tethering but at least bluetooth is something.
Yea I here "no" over and over but that's not good enough lol. Why is it that this has worked on every other rom ever known to mankind but not the new jellybean? I've been emailing and donating trying to get something done but no response, Just it won't work. Anyone know why it won't work.

WiFi Tether does rely on some features of the kernel to work. Perhaps they (Sprint?) changed he Touchwiz kernel for Jelly Bean that broke WiFi Tether.

I think the GSIII for U.S. is not included in the program's driver list. The International version works though. However, there's a program you can download from the PlayStore called Easy Tether. After downloading, follow the instructions to download the Windows (or whatever your OS is). Transfer the program onto your computer and install. Then connect your phone to your PC and you'll have tethering thru USB.
One other thing. The free (unregistered) version will let you browse the Internet but you cannot access Secure sites. You need to upgrade to paid (registered) version in order to access the Secure sites (emails, etc.). It's only $9.99 (one time purchase).

I will say that this is one of the ONLY phones that I ever thought about NOT romming but I doubt I will be able to hold back if something really good comes out...Hello, I am Justin, I am a flashaholic!
GOTTA have root access though... Can't have any company telling me what I HAVE to keep on my phone! :good:
My exact same thoughts. I only rooted to get rid of the bloat. Quick question though. ... im a little nervous... would I still be able to update if tmobile decides to push one even though im rooted?
Sent from my SGH-T889 using xda app-developers app
I hope not to also but when a new version of android comes out and no update from the carrier then flashing seems like the only option..
Cm10 with S pen functionality is that possible?
Should get rid of CarrierIQ at least =/

Deff agree on that one. But alas, i will miss alot of the OG functions from touchwiz on this phone. Although with GN1, they found work arounds for it. Especially S Note.
My plan is to root as late as I can to avoid messing things up. I figure we won't see an update for a few weeks and by then all the bugs that come along with rooting a phone should be worked out. I really enjoy this phone and can, surprisingly, wait on rooting.

I know when I rooted that if I go to check for a software update it says it won't do it on a modified device so I am pretty sure we won't get OTA's through the rooted devices but you can just wait for someone to post the updated OTA and flash that and your good to go!
Or do you still have stock recovery?
Only rooted for bloat and spyware removal and a nice kernel. But im only flashing stock TW based roms!

The only way I will install a custom rom on the note 2 is if they come out with Android 4.1.2 , 4.2, or Key Lime Pie.

I'll still get a custom ROM but only those based on stick for full s pen and camera usage. Can't give those up

Thank you. I read, and understand, everything you posted/wrote. One question: Does this include the stock radio, or is it just the stock ROM and kernel?
EDIT - Got another question. I don't want to assume, so I'd rather ask. Since all that you did was root it I take it that you didn't deodex it, so it's all stock odexed?

Its deodexed. Thats why rom devs and cooks or users can use this to modify it into custom ROM.
Use root explorer tool and take a peek or 7zip. Or double click the zip file in linux ubuntu etc.
Ill update the op......
And yes stock tmo kernel no radio
Kernel is insecure which is same thing just better.

Rushing, I flashed the IQ removed version, and know I want the ripple effect one (wife's phone, so I don't want to reflash cause I already updated all apps etc. etc)
If I want to change it, should I download the ROM with the ripple effect, and make a flashable for only the framework-res.apk, or there is something else I should do.
If you have the flash.zip for that mod (that includes the tethering IQ and ripple)
Thanks!!!
BDW, the ROM is working great. I installed others first but those still need some time to iron the mods they are getting into it, so I would rather stay in the safe side for now, until the others ROMs mature a bit.
Cool its always good to have a stock phone. then upgrade so you actually know/see what's upgraded

Remember that the phone checks for updates using the AT&T servers, if you are not using an AT&T sim, you wont be able to get the update. I would just load a custom 4.3 TW rom, which I'm sure are a lot better than the crap AT&T releases.
Have you tried to Odin to a stock 4.3 ROM.
You might want to try the one click.
Think I have it somewhere let me check.

Not sure, have you tried plugging it in to a pc using Kies? Do you have an Att sim with you? You could give it a try by using an ATT sim and connecting to wifi

The one click method puts the leaked AT&T 4.3 bulks on it. It is not rooted. If you skip the cf auto root steps you will be on 4.3 non rooted stock.

It would probably be easiest to just root your phone using TowelRoot and just install TWRP or CWM and one of the many ROMs. I have tried several ROMs and all of them have what you are looking for. If you want a near stock experience, go for a ROM like S3Rx, StockMOD or many other TW based roms.
Alright daggorlad I'll try that today, thank you
