Just got my SGH-T999 - T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII

I've been researching rooting and installing CWM for awhile on this phone and I think I have it figured out, just let me know if I am out of line.
I found a pre-rooted ODIN image of jellybean from root66. I'm thinking of flashing that first to get root access, then download rom manager and flash CWM recovery.
Just want to make sure I don't brick this expensive phone.

Yes man . You got it right

Best bet is to just put CWM on the use the zip file to do it

Go to the dev thread and look for the CWM thread and get the tar file and flash that then just use osimood. Based off stock

Easy.
Put Superuser-3.0.7-efghi-signed.zip on your phone.
Push recovery to your phone via Odin
Boot back into recovery
Flash Superuser-3.0.7-efghi-signed.zip.
Done.

NP. Also, I should have said this in my first reply, you'll need Odin 1.85.

[Q] Clockworkmod for T989D

I was on CWM before but devs lately are recommending TWRP
go to android development thread at top of page read the sticky notes for directions
all versions of CWM work with our t989d
easiest way to install CWM is Rom Manager from the app store
but you must root your phone first
just in case you did not know hope this helped m8

If you are flashing first time
you want the *.tar file
so you can use Odin to flash the recovery

[Q] CW. 6.0.4.3 or TWRP 2.6.3.1

Hi there!
I tried to flash CWM recovery 6.0.4.3 (rom manager) either from the app itself, and with odin. In both cases, the update didn't work. I flash over and over again, but the version stuck at 5.xxxx. Then I tried to flash the TWRP 2.6.3.1, but my phone stuck in a recovery boot loop. Don't worry! I did a nandroid before and been able to flash back my rom. Is anyone has any ideas why I'm not able to flash the update? I'm running dirty unicorn rom, on a samsung sgh-t999v (videotron canada). I try to flash the kitkat update, but I need to do the CWM update first.
Thank you!
Where are you getting the files from?

In both cases, I tried the update from the app. I also tried a zip file, that I changed to .tar, from internet, but I don't remember where.
You can try the ones in my sig if you like

Going slower than planned, but life gets in the way.
I might give it a go when the link is up. What is it a .tar.md5?
