How to root 4.1.2 Stock ROM - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989

Sorry for the n00b question guys, I recently dropped Virgin Mobile and my Evo 3D for T-Mobile Galaxy S2. I successfully rooted the stock 4.0.4 rom, but then I downloaded the 4.1.2 rom and flashed through Odin. I also pushed the TWRP recovery and then pushed the SuperUser w/ BusyBox zip file and (from what I read) it said that should be rooted after my phone rebooted. No luck. If anyone has successfully rooted the stock 4.1.2 rom, please tell me the steps you used to do it. Sorry if I seem demanding, I'm just curious of why I wasn't successful.
When I rooted the 4.0.4, I used TB and debloated the whole rom and I figured everything would stay the same after I updated, I was wrong.

There's a guide that shows how to do it.
Here is the link. Rushing is a nice guy and can answer your questions.

[REQUEST] CWM Flashable Stock (Rooted) Rogers ROM and kernel

Could some kind person possibly back up and upload their stock rooted Rogers ROM and the CIQ-free rogers kernel in a CWM flashable format? I'm having some issues with a custom ROM, and I don't actually own a Windows PC to use ODIN to flash back to the the rooted rogers rom in the 'How to root your captivate glide' thread, so I'd really like to be able to use CWM to get back to stock to see if the issue is my phone, my kernel, or the rom.
Edit: I tried Heimdall, but it just constantly 'Fails to initialise protocol!' on me, so that's a no go.

Hey fellas just moved to this section from the Inc s since I sold that phone and what a nice phone it was.So I got the Samsung glide and thanks to all the people here I rooted and installed the cwm and now I am ready to get my hands on a nice custom rom.
So now I am gonna backup my Rogers Samsung glide and upload it somewhere for the peeps above who where requesting it.
So keep an eye om this post for the download links.
Ok so I backed up my stock rooted rom and there is more than on file in there so someone tell me if I should upload all of them or just certain ones.
And also where is better to upload files by the way cause I have not done it in a while.
Cheers!
Edit:

[Q] Flashing Stock Rom

I'm sorry if this has been answered already, but I recently had a rooted sprint galaxy s3.
I flashed the 4.1.2 stock rom back on it through heimdall but there's a problem that I haven't ran into before...clockwork mod recovery is still on my phone with the stock rom. The phone is not rooted anymore, because I can't grant apps that need root permission.
Use this thread, it has always worked flawlessly for me

[Q] Cannot Flash Or Root T999 S3

Hello all,
I just installed 4.3 on my T999 through OTA and was not happy with this long awaited update. I am a flash junky and have flashed many phones in the past. The problem I am having I cannot flash the root, it does accept it and reboot, however, when it boots up up it states super ushers in not working. I did manage to root once, but when I tried to install 10.2 cyan mod it failed. In addition I went back to Odin and tried to install the 4.1.2 stock rom and it read failed. My question is there a new root that needs to be installed to over rite the stock 4.3 rom. I did see a pop up come up that read this application has been blocked, I believe it is a new feature for the 4.3, which is Knox. I just want to put a custom rom, this new 4.3 official rom sucks..Thanks.

help needed! Trying to root and install OmniROM 4.4 on my i747

hey guys. lurker turned new poster here at XDA. a friend of mine turned me on to this a while back when he introduced me to the world of rooting. I've recently bought a Galaxy S III (SGH-i747), and I've been trying to root it using mskip's unified toolkit (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1979290). I got it rooted once, but eventually bricked it when trying to get 4.4 on it, and had to reinstall the stock 4.1.1 rom on it and lost the root in the process.
I'm completely new to all this, and I'm still trying to figure it out. I've been searching as much as I can and reading a lot, but I'm not sure if there's something I'm missing here. when I try to root it lately using the toolkit, it gets stuck in the process after I exit Odin, and will never progress.
before when the root was actually in place, I tried to install a custom OS after doing a full wipe of the system, and it never would install. I tried it with TWRP and CWM, and there was no success with either of them. the one peculiar thing, however, is that I could never get it to install with the "ALLINONE" option. when I got it to work that once, I had to install it each individually.
is there some sort of guide out there that would make this easier for me to get 4.4 on the phone? or will someone be able to help me through the process?
thank you for your time!
I just rebooted my comp, reinstalled the drivers for the phone through the toolkit, and gave it one more shot at rooting it (option 1 in the program), and this is what the process looked like.
*see attached image*
I *always* get stuck at the "pushing superuser.apk and su binary.." part.
any thoughts?

I used this when I first rooted my I747. http://galaxys3root.com/galaxy-s3-root/how-to-root-att-galaxy-s3-sgh-i747/

My Bell s3 was on 4.1.2. I rooted by installing a rooted rom from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1739426
Do not flash a 4.1.1 or 4.1.2 rom if you have a bootloader from 4.3.
when I got the phone, it had 4.1.2 on it. when I bricked it, I flashed a stock 4.1.1 ROM on it, and that's what I've been using as my base ROM.
Boomer1605: I'll try that when I get home.
anyone else know what is up with the place I get stuck at during the toolkit way?
My Bell s3 was on 4.1.2 when I got it. SInce I needed to unlock it and didn't want to pay, I installed the stock Bell 4.1.1 firmware from here: http://www.sammobile.com/.
After using the menu option to unlock the phone and confirm that it was unlocked, I flashed the pre-rooted Bell s3 4.1.2 rom.
Everything worked perfectly, no errors or issues at all.
Cool! Can I find a pre-rooted 4.1.1 AT&T rom on that site? I can't really look at that link cause I'm currently at work.
Pre-rooted roms are here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1739426
I was able to install Root Explorer on my pre-rooted ROM and delete a tonne of Samsung apps.
I was able to install a pre-rooted version of 4.1.1, and I did a system/data/cache/dalvik wipe from the TWRP screen, but when I tried to install both Liquid Smooth and Omni Rom, it failed. I even restarted and didn't wipe, and it still failed. not sure where to go from here... :/
tativle coast
totally got it to work! I skipped using the toolkit to install TWRP, and used GooManager to use the latest TWRP. worked like a charm! currently running on Liquid Smooth 4.4.2!
thanks for the rooted copy of 4.1.1!

Awesome! Congratulations. For future reference, TWRP also had tar images for use with Odin.

Noob Question. Sorry.

Hello Guys. Need a little help. Have a rooted Note 2 i317 (At&t) that had a custom rom but I wiped with the recovery on it which was TWRP 2.4.3.0. Now I tried putting the NOTE 4 rom for the model I have but it won't take. Again I have TWRP 2.4.3.0. the only rom I can get to work so far is Slimbean 4.3. Is there any thread were it gives me required files for updating the rom. I have tried updating kernel and other stuff but the only rom that works without a problem is Slimbean 4.3 with the Gapp 4.3 pack.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. I know I f'd up by wiping without having full understanding but I've been away from Rooting since the older sammy's from Metro.
Also tried updating TWRP with the App and it gave me a notice saying "Something is wrong!" but it has version 2.8.7.0 on it at least that's what it says. IDKWTF happened. Please help. Going nuckin futs.
UPDATE: Got it figures out guys. Used another computer and everything is good. Used TWRP and Installed another version and performed a return to stock and started fresh. ALLGOOD. Thanks anyways.
