Hey guys. Coming from Win-mo where everything is just straight forward so this stuff is pretty new. I am trying to find a Kitkat rom for my T-mo S2. I can't seem to find any threads specifically talking about branded phones.
Can anyone help me out here? Info
The phone isn't rooted and on stock jellybean 4.1.2.
If you can direct me to some step by step threads or even better actually telling me what to do step by step it'd be appreciated. Thank you.
I presume you have a SGH T-989 ? If so, you're in the wrong place, your thread belongs here. I've asked mods to move your thread, sit tight until they do.
Yeah I realized that after I posted, I just couldn't figure out what the differences were. Thank you for the help.

Cyanogenmod 11 runs Kit Kat. You can download it from the official page. As for the actual flashing, you need to have root and the latest Clockworkmod installed, as I have read about some issues if you try to flash it with other custom recoveries or older versions of it.
You don't need to root. Just flash the recovery and flash the rom. The rom itself is rooted. If you want to root your stock rom flash the su zip in recovery

Hello All,
I just purchased the T-Mobile edition on the Galaxy S III and I ignorantly updated from ICS 4.0.4 to JB 4.1.1.
I want to root my phone. Am I screwed? Please help me I don't want to screw up my phone.
Thanks for any help.
Why would that be ignorant ?
Yes, you can root JB. Even if you couldn't, you could always flash back to ICS if it was that important to you.
Check out the other forums here and ctrl+f "root" - there are guides that will completely walk you through it. I used the root66 root-injected stock ROM to root my phone, it was the first time I'd ever done such a thing and the guide is well-written and goes baby-step by baby-step.

Thanks for the info I'm rooted .
Any recommendations on the best ROM?
Have people become so lazy that they can't search?
Don't be a jerk. I have tried a few I was just asking what he thought was best that's all.
Comon bro, you made time to criticize but not to help.

Evil1art has a couple of very solid roms. V7 is ics and my favorite but his jellybean build is very good also.
I am a complete noob - moved from iphone to android recently and am loving it..
i recently rooted the i747 and installed cm10 stable version on my att phone.
i want to remove it and do a clean install of the att rom. for e.g. like i format the entire drive and install the new os kind.
is that possible?
please advise and if there was a thread already made - please guide me.
thanks

If you are on AT&T than go here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1737848
If you are familiar with Odin, which you should be since you rooted your phone just use it to install the stock ROM. You will lose root so just be aware in case you want to flash another ROM later.

I looked but I am unsure of which method to use, as in what is the difference between the CF-auto root and the CASUAL. Also which version of twrp do i use?
I used Casual.
After rooting, install GooManager and have it install TWRP.

just helping the average joe from bricking their phone
I was going to ask these questions in Dev Forum Thread for Knoxless but I'm new here...
I have a Samsung S3 on AT&T that I rooted some time ago but stopped there and am still running stock. Anyway, I'd like to know if I update to 4.3 KNOXless do I need to prep the phone any differently or just follow the steps here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2504903 ? I'm fairly new to this and am trying to get caught up on everything and make sure I'm not going to brick the phone due to my ignorance.
One other question, I use the tethering/hotspot feature a decent amount and have noticed some ROMs/FW state they don't work with it. Is this the case with the stock KNOXless 4.3? I read through a lot of that thread but didn't see a clear answer on this. Also, let me know if there are other options I should consider.
Thanks in advance for any help with this.

Thanks so much for the help on this. Do you know if there is any concern on my other question coming from 4.1.1? I just want to make sure I'm following the instructions correctly. Thanks again.

Go to CM's website and use the built in installer.
Also you need to report your post so it can be moved to the sprint s3 area so you can get users familiar with your device to help you. This area is for the international i9300 and anything you flash or instructions you follow from here will brick your phone as you need to perform more steps first before you can get underway.
