Hey XDA,
I was wondering if there was a way to root the t999 without using a PC, because I don't have one at the moment. Thanks in advance.

I'm guessing you already searched and couldn't find it.
It didn't work. For some reason it was only working on Sprint phones.

Wouldnt using Mobile ODIN allow you to flash the root .tar file from your device? Not certain as I never used Mobile ODIN.

Nope, it requires root. Unfortunately. Which I think is kind of stupid.

I just think it's inconvenient for people who want to flash tars that are not rooted. I do think the app is absolutely amazing though.

MobileODIN wouldn't work if it wasn't Root. Functional, not stupid.
Back on topic, on other devices that I have had, you can flash a custom recovery via the stock recovery but naming the file 'update.zip' and placing it in the root of the ext_sd. Not sure about the T999 series, I haven't looked into or tried it.
What about cf autoroot by chain fire?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-T999 using Tapatalk 4 Beta
CF auto root requires Odin on a pc.
I really do not think there.is a way to do this. Sorry man.
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda premium
Suggestion: Find an internet cafe (if you can find one that allows downloading exes)
Pay for the time you think you might need.
Download Odin
Download the files you need
You know the rest!
Or you must have a friend who would be willing to give you a go.
It takes about 15 mins to do it if you know what you are doing.
I hope that helps, cheers!
Thanks guys. Mods can close this topic now.

Not to nitpick, but to avoid future problems you might want to saunter on over to the Sprint forum if you do indeed have a Sprint device.

I would think you need to Odin a custom kernel/recovery then flash a super user.zip file. Also you would need to get the super user app from the playstote

Hi everyone
Is there a way to hard brick my S2?
For testing purpose. Would appreciate
Feel free to PM just as well if the topic is not good here
update: forgot to mention, I can't use any USB type of flashing. My USB is not working for some reasons. So anything from recovery or type in shell should do. thanks again
Well, had to do a double take to make sure I was reading this thread correctly :what: Easiest way is to flash a ROM not intended for our phone. If you read all the "Help, I bricked my phone " threads, they usually flashed one for the I9100 or SG3. Now, you don't plan to use this info for malicious reasons, right? :sly:

But phone still turns on, and boots, and get the top menu and turn off menu and reset

Flash an .pit file, that will brick it for sure, you can also flash a recovery not intended for the T989, that will not boot up for sure.

As of right now, the only way to get root is with the use of the computer as of yet.
Being that seems to work pretty well I doubt there will be development to a root method without a computer.

What about mobile Odin pro? Then use that to flash the recovery of your choice. The reboot to recovery and install the superuser script?

Mobile odin requires root. So it can't be used to gain root.
Chainfire release a rooting method. I haven't tried it but have heard it works well. You still need Odin on a pc for any root procedure that I'm aware of.

Just realized I didn't mention chsinfires method is called CF-auto root I believe. Its in original development.
Or you can also use the root66 method. Link to the fw thread in my sig.

Hey guys, while I'm having a great time flashing ROMs and trying to become a fast expert I wanted to ask a question. I want to keep the stock Att ROM on my device just if I need it reasons. Not sure where I can get it and I don't think I've seen it yet. Let me know if I need to be more clear on what I'm trying to do.

I have a bunch of backups now but when I started I was running out of space so I had to pick and choose what ROMs I backed up. When I discovered twarp it let me backup to my SD card so now I can do what I want. So yes I do back up but no after flashing for a few months I no longer have my stock back up
