I just got tmobile galaxy s III SGH-T999L and would like to root it and install cm10
by searching the related forum and posts I didn't find a post that can clearly guide to root this model of the phone. could anyone help me out?
thank you.
I'm not sure if this works for the LTE version, but I used this http://galaxys3root.com/galaxy-s3-r...gh-t999sgh-i747sph-l710-fail-proofnoob-proof/.
Just flash cwm or twrp using odin, then flash the supersu zip.
Everything you need is in my sig.

Use motochopper, it only takes around two to three minutes total, and it leaves you with stock recovery in case you need to go back for waranty purposes, motochopper also does not trip the flash counter, or change the system binary to custom. besides that with the T999L you dont need a custom recovery as the stock recovery has adb sideload support( see Edit at the Bottom For further citation), you just wont be flashing any custom roms until we get some odin roms built, personally I wouldn't flash any custom rom until DocHoliday77 has a true stock odin built, and that won't be until we can get our hands on the stock firmware, which won't happen until the T999L gets an update or at least until sammy releases the firmware, which is pretty much the same time.
EDIT:
after modding a few system files, and getting stuck in a boot loop @ the T-Mobile splash screen, i have found that in fact you don't need a custom recovery for anything but flashing custom Roms/Kernels, the stock recovery not only supports the new Adb Sideload function, the dept of adb support seems to be full adb support all the way down to shell support as i was able to use the following to delete the modded system files and get my device back and running from the recovery menu (no options selected)
adb devices
adb shell
su
rm /system/framework/multiwindow.jar
rm /system/framework/multiwindow.odex
i was allowed to use the rm function of the shell to delete the two files i added to the system/framework folder.

Thanks Doc.
I flashed cwm 5.5.0.4 and flashed supersu.
then I tried to flash cm10.1 rc5 but got following error msg:
assert failed: getprop("ro.product.device") == "d2tmo" ||
getprop.("ro.build.product") == "d2tmo"
E:Error in /sdcard/cm-10.1.0-RC5-d2tmo.zip
Status 7
Installation aborted.
I tried cm-10.0.0-d2tmo and cm-10.1-20130608-NIGHTLY-d2tmo as well, all failed with same error.
did I do something wrong? appreciate if anyone can give me some guide or links to install cm10.1 in my s3.
thanks!

Yes/no if you flash a custom rom you will have to flash a custom recovery to do so, which means you will lose your stock recovery, Docholiday77 is currently working on making all the data we pulled from my T999L compatible with odin, which once its done you won't have to worry, but if you flash custom recovery, custom rom at this stage, you will be essentially locked out of your warranty until we have everything ready for odin, also we just pulled all the info for rom development just about a week ago so I doubt anyone has really had the time, or resources to build a custom rom specifically for the T999L which means you will be flashing at the risk of paid Samsung factory repair if it soft bricks, I'm not sure but I think doc has enough on a rom now to help you out if you brick with cwm or twrp, and with the stock adb sideload support you might be able to push the stock recovery we pulled but you should definitely ask doc for specifics as to what he has to help you if something doesn't go right with a custom rom.

CM added 'asserts' to the updater script that checks what version of firmware you are running. Older firmware was becoming buggy forcing him to do this. Since the t999l is so new it just hasn't been added to be allowed.
You can edit it so it either has your build in the script, or remove the checks all together.
I can tell you how in a bit if no one else does.

It'll have to be stock recovery for it to even download to the phone I'm pretty sure.
Only a few options I can think of.
Get a stock VLALE6 recovery and install it.
Flash the stock FW and then update.
Or just flash the updated stock FW.
Has it already downloaded the ota?
It should be in /cache/fota/ if it has. It'll be update.zip.
If it did, I can help you get it installed as is. Make a copy of the update.zip if you can btw.

If you want you can try using Mobile Odin. Download the LE6 FW and choose to install it in Mobile Odin. You can deselect everything but recovery and flash. Then you should be able to get the ota.
You could also pull recovery.img from the FW re-tar it and flash with pc odin.

Always good to have another resource, but two things real quick...
He can't use this FW. Its for the T999 but since he's on Videotron he will almost certainly have the model T999V.
It does not say what build either the FW or the Recovery are. I'm guessing they are both the original build UVALEM, but it really should specify.
Thanks anyway man.
@OP
If you do have the T999V like I suspect, use the links I gave you a couple posts up.

Is there really any reason to be afraid of this and to avoid it by all means? From what I can understand there is a way to reset the counter to 0 so it does not seem to be a threat, but again I cannot be sure.
Not really. Its mostly just personal preference at this point.
I still use the root66 fw though because I flash and experiment so often I wind up needing odin eventually. Figure if ive got to odin, I may as well use the pre-rooted fw.
Some say the toolkit is easier, but as long as you know the steps, it doesn't get much safer than flashing stock with odin. Not at all difficult either.

You can flash anything you want. Are you looking for stock or custom? Everything you need is in the dev section. If you've never flashed before my suggestion is to read, read, read, and then read some more. If you get stuck or don't understand something, come back and ask and you will get some help.
As metalfan78 stated, Just read everything to a T and you should be fine. And seriously take this note.
NEVER EVER EVER EVER FLASH AN INTERNATIONAL VERSION OF A ROM.
Stay in the section of what your phones' carrier is.
So if its ma6 ROM and no instruction. ..just flash like normal?
Sent from my SPH-L710 using xda app-developers app
Yep, normal flashing procedures. And as spark said, stay in our section. There has been a lot of threads started lately about flashing a rom for a different model, which I don't understand at all.

So I should probly first flash a stock recovery then flash the ma6 firmware zip?
Sent from my SPH-L710 using xda app-developers app
everyone posts an instruction and a how to-to flash their roms, it's the same method used to flash any other rom.
Wipe Data and Factory reset, Wipe Cache, and wipe dalvik cache. then flash the rom.
NOTE: Make sure you backup your apps and data using titanium backup if your keeping your applications.
and since your on LJ7 thinking about going to MA6. I'd suggest reading sxtapes' instructions to install.
you can either do the flashing updates from LJ7 to MA6 or choose whether to fully flash and install
the rom Odex and De-Odexed ( NOTE: the rom itself is just the rom, you'll need to flash a seperate file
for the modem firmware and baseband and the kernel! otherwise look @ the bottom of the OP and do the update LJ7 to MA6 ).
His post can be found in the android developement section. Thank him and his team + sources for bringing out the MA6
I used billard412's method. Which flashes everything, it's stock unrooted, but all files are there to flash recovery and root again, before booting the phone. Hang on, I'll get the link.

If you choose to use freeza's method, then flash the MA6 odex or deodex rom, and flash his all-in-one firmware file before rebooting.
Did you get everything figured out?

Hey there,
I clicked on the link that you provided (not for the files, but for the thread). I noticed on *that* thread, it was for i747M. Is this/your thread exclusively for i747? I don't want to chance it and brick my device due to a variant mess-up.

From the threads I have been reading, NO, you can not unlock using this.
This procedure will allow you to downgrade your ROM to 4.1.1 while leaving you on the 4.3 bootloader. To unlock using the free method you must be on completely stock 4.1.1. Completely stock, including the bootloader, which would be LK3 for the i747, I believe.

i wasn't able to. i actually traded my s3 for a s3 running 4.1.2 and on that one i just downgraded and then succesfully unlocked that one. sadly i don't have either anymore because the one running 4.1.2 was having speaker issues. i now have a vivid and wish i wouldn't of traded lol.

I was able to downgrade from 4.3 to 4.1.1. I do have a few questions though...
1. S3ModedRom.tar: Is it for the I747 or I747m?
2. Modem file: Is it flashed through TWRP or CWM?
3. How do I go back to 4.3?

If it was stock firmware you'll have to reroot. SuperSU might still be there if you didn't factory reset, but it'd just be the app.

Go to /system/xbin and check if you have the su binary there.
If not, uninstall SuperSU and try again. If it is there try flashing the SuperSU update zip. You can find the link to it in chainfires thread.
You can root other ways, but the above two are the methods I prefer.

Thanks, I just don't know how to uninstal supersu.
Sorry. I was think about earlier when I though it was left over on the user data partition.
Download the zip linked above and flash in recovery. Should take care of it for you.

I deleted SU from romtoolbox and reflashed it. When I leave recovery everytime it says may lose root select to keep it. I still don't have root. Can someone get the dev to come to the thread. I am junior and can't post on development thread.
You can always pm him, but I doubt he will be able to help much more than anyone else. I'm not sure what's going on, but I don't believe it to be the ROMs fault. But it is an older ROM... What is your current base firmware/bootloader build? Open terminal emulator and enter this to find out....
getprop ro.bootloader
I would also suggest considering a different ROM. It appears that it is no longer supported by anyone, and there are several more current ones you can use. Depends on what your base firmware is though.
