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.

You my friend will have a shiny new BRICK if you stick around here in this forum.
This is the Tmobile T999 Galaxy S4 forum and anything you find here will cause
you a lot more harm than good. It looks like you have a Galaxy S4 9505 phone.
Why not go to the correct forum and try to get help there.
The link to the correct forum is: http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=2162
There you can get real help.
Good luck!

Thank you very much, it works great for me
Sorry, guys, I know this is probably a dumb question, but I simply can't find this info anywhere!
I will sell my Galaxy Note 2 tomorrow morning and it was inside the box for a long time, still with 4.1.2, and I already downloaded 4.4.2 official ROM from Brazil, but I really don't know if I need to first upgrade to 4.3 before.
Can someone answer me?
Thanks so much in advance!

Why don't you just try the Update option in the Settings/About?

Oh, God! What a shame! I was so dumb!
This just solved my doubt and now my Note II is updated to 4.4.2!
Hi everyone, im having some problems with my phone and im wanting to downgrade my firmware. I upgraded using odin and sammobile to 4.4.2 and as soon as it was done booting up it said that i had another update. I did the update and it pushed me to 4.4.4. Now im having some issues and want to downgrade back to another firmware. Is it possible to downgrade after updating to 4,4,4?
Also i cant find that base band number anywhere when i google it. Can anyone locate this for me. My base band is n900tuvuenj3.
Thank for the help

I have no clue, I can't find anything on it. Where and when did you get the phone?
And before you do anything, can you please make a dump of it? I can help you step-by-step through the process, if necessary. Please? [emoji120]
