so i need to download the 4.0.4 firmware from that thread, and flash it in odin.
Then i need to follow the normal root method video?
Also which firmware should i download for a stock t999v wind s3? There are so many.
Thanks

Why do you think you would have to downgrade? Why would you downgrade to ICS, root, then update to JB, losing root again?
Just flash CWM/TWRP with recovery and flash Superuser with chosen recovery. The t999v is d2can right? Just for reference, your firmware should be on this page: http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/1/?model=SGH-T999V&pcode=VTR#firmware, assuming you are on Videotron.

im on wind with a t999v
the reason i was asking to downgrade was because in this guide:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1775616
it says that in order to follow the steps, you must first restore the stock ics firmware.
what i want to do is:
-install cwm
-flash superuser using cwm
-then maybe later a custom rom
Is it necessary to downgrade?
If it isnt can someone show me a step by step guide that shows you how to root/install cwm while on 4.1.1
Thanks

Just flash the latest root66 in Odin and you will be updated with root. If you want a custom recovery, download goo manager from the play store to flash TWRP recovery.

where can i get root66? and what are the steps needed to flash it with odin?
Ok i just found this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1771687&highlight=4+1+1
Would this work:
-Download the prerooted 4.1.1 wind odin tar
-Flash it using odin
-Download ROM manager and install CWM from there

You don't need to reinstall an entire rom, thats way too much work.
This is the easiest method I have found.

Flash the autoroot package from that article, and you are rooted. Then once you are rooted, you can then install a custom recovery with something like Rom Toolbox from within android.

Thanks that looks good. I just have a couple of questions.
This guide is for the t999. I have the t999v, does it matter?
Also the guide is meant for s3 running T999UVDLJA firmware.
Is there somewhere i should check to confirm that is what i have?
Btw i have a wind mobile s3 if that helps,
Thanks.
nevermind, i used the root66 method
and i am now succesfully rooted

[Q] CWM/TWRP impossible to install after upgrade to 4.2.2

Hello everyone,
My brand new n5100 came with 4.1.2 out of the box, but upgraded to 4.2.2 OTA immediately (XXCMI1).
Right after that, I tried to install either CWM or TWRP through Odin3, with no success. It says PASS, but when I boot in recovery (home+vol.up+power), all that I have is stock recovery.
Does anyone know what's going on? Any ideas on how to do it?
My final objective is to root the device. Framaroot exploits are no working anymore. Should I proceed installing a custom kernel? I am afraid of having a locked bootloader or so, and bricking my new toy due to that.
Thank you in advance!

Use CF Autoroot to root the device. Then install which ever recovery you want.

[Q] Can't Root? What are my options?

I have an i747M, from Fido (rogers) running the stock 4.3 firmware. yesterday i tried to root it using odin to install CWM, and then CWM to install supersu.
after successfully installing supersu, i restarted the phone, and got knox blocking the app. i updated it from Play, but then i couldn't open it, and it said it can't install the binary. when my phone asked to update the security certificates, i (stupidly) agreed.
i downloaded the .zip for supersu 1.89, and tried installing that, with the same result, but this time i also can't uninstall supersu.
i've bumped my binary counter, but i'm back to basically stock now.
my goal is to install aokp. is there a way to do it without gaining root first?
if i install CWM through odin, can i flash the aokp rom from CWM?
will the phone reset the recovery?
is this risky?
You could try installing a pre-rooted Rogers rom from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1739426
I was not able to find a pre-rooted 4.3 for Fido and, since you intend to install a custom rom and recovery, the pre-rooted Rogers ROM might be a good place to start.
It's there a reason to install a rooted rom before aokp? As far as I can tell, I can install aokp without rooting at all.
or am I missing something?

Yes, you can just install a custom ROM without rooting first.
I mentioned the prerooted ROM because you post said you wanted to install su.
Ok, please confirm i have this procedure correct:
1. i use Odin to install CWM
2. boot straight into CWM
3. from inside CWM, i flash the AOKP zip file, and then the gapps zip file
my understanding is that this will keep cwm as my recovery and install aokp with gapps.
am i missing anything?

Just make sure you flash a tar version of CWM that is meant for your phone.
I can't really speak about 4.3 because I'm on 4.1.2 but the method you described is the same method I used.

If you want to kill Konx to enable root you can flash this knox removal script: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2507931
If you are just going to flash AOKP via CWM, this may not be necessary, but this is the answer to your Knox problem.

Flash custom recovery

Hey guys!
I rooted my Note 2 using this method: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2618261
As stated in the thread I have my KNOX intact...
Is it possible for me to flash a custom recovery after rooting with this method? Can I use ODIN to flash a custom recovery for my phone? It´s a N7105.
I actually don´t care about warranty, KNOX and so on anymore... I just want the possibility to flash my mods instead of pushing them manually with root explorer... also to make a Nandroid backup the classic way
