I got a note2 that is unlocked from a simple mobile store here in Miami
I use StraightTalk GSM 4G LTE sim in it
It upgraded itself to 4.4.2 KitKat and all I want to do is get a root on it, get rid of the AT&T Bloatware
or FREEZE it with my Titanium Backup from the PLAY store
All these weird screwy names of this rom and that rom.....
why can't anyone just put a name of a SIMPLE STOCK rom with root up? Maybe a recovery tool too but just simple stuff
some of us can not spend days loading and unbricking our phones....
I do APPRECIATE all the dev's working on different things BUT it is so convoluted in naming structure that it's impossible to find a single, stock rooted room...thanks
phil
You can just use auto root to root http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1980644

In short - no, there are libraries that need to be copied over with the apks. Also, you may get better responses in the actual t-mobile GS3 forum.

Hey guys,
I am brand new to rooting Android devices and have a few questions.
1) Do I have to install a new Kernal to be rooted?
2) Can I root my Sprint Galaxy Note 2 regardless of when Sprint pushes updates? How does carrier updates effect my rooted device once it is rooted?
3) How do I backup my stock GN2 incase I do something wrong so I can go back to factory?
4) I see videos at Galaxynoteroot.com that seem good for the Sprint variant, as well as on here. Which is best to use, most videos on how to root the sprint version of the GN2 are from October or November of 2012.
5) Use a toolkit or not?
6) Can I root, keep touchwiz, use Go Launcher, and find a way to enable Multiview for all apps since its rooted?
Thanks guys, appreciate the help. I really would like to get a handle on the basics as this is my first attempt to root, and this phone is pricey! So I will wait for your help, any and all advice appreciated.

Hey guys, before I begin, I've attempted to search the forums & I've been unable to find an adequate answer, so if there is an answer out there to my question & I missed it, my bad.
My question is thus. I have a Galaxy S3 LTE, model sgh-t99L T-Mobile branded & I'm considering rooting & installing a custom rom. I have done this previously with a HTC Sensation 4g successfully & I'm comfortable with the procedure. However, I've been unable to find any information on if it is possible to root the T-Mo S3 LTE model, if there is a way to restore the device to stock after rooting it, and the necessary tools to do so.
I'm happy with my device as is, but I like to tweak things, so I'd like to at least know if its possible to root my device & if anyone would be able to point me in the right direction.
*Note at the time of posting this, the search feature was "unavailable"*
Thank you guys for your assistance

Ok, first thing you need to know is this is a question, and as such should be asked in Q&A. Also if you were to look in Q&A you would find a dedicated thread for the T999L that is almost always on the first page. And if you read the stickies you would find a link to it in the roll-up thread.
Not lecturing, just helping so you know for the future. Also, when xda search is down, you can Google "xda T999L info" or similar and it should show up.
Your questions are already answered in that thread btw. Link is also in my Sig.

Hi everyone
just had me note 10.1 2014 for a month now and loving it , nothing has changed the only thing i have done is root the device, so upon going to samsung-updates.com/device/?id=SM-P600 i found that 4.4 is out, for region COO - can anyone tell me what region COO is?
but my main question is how do i upgrade / update from my current version 4.3 to 4.4 ? because when i try to do ota, it says my device has been modified.
I rooted my device using CF-Auto Root and using SuperSU
If anyone can kindly point me to a thread, blog or tell me how it is done would really appreciate it.
Sorry guys, i am very new to the Android world use to be on iOS

I originally posted this under General, which is probably the wrong place to post this question; re-posting here:
I have a pristine looking insurance replaced Note II that I'd like to Root and Rom with a stable Rom that retains T-Mobil's WiFi Calling feature.
Also, I'm getting the unlock code for the device sent to me by T-Mobile; which I'd like to do as well. I do have a T-Mobile SIM for it and can get at an AT&T SIM to unlock it if necessary.
As far as Root/Rom goes; I'm fairly certain this limits me to Android 4.3 and below; since T-Mo hung Note II users out to dry for a factory 4.4.x update; and I need the WiFi calling feature to work properly.
This specific device showed up with the following on it and is currently locked.
Firmware: 4.1.2
Baseband: T889UVBMD1
Kernel 3.0.31-935627
Build No: JZ05K.T889UVBMD1 (probably redundant info)
I have 2 Questions to start:
1. Should I unlock this before or after flashing root/ROM?
2. What Root/Rom(s) is (are) stable and let's the T-Mobile WiFi calling feature working properly. (I've seen Info on Jedi Rom, not sure which of them would be best or if there are others that keep WiFi Calling)
Some advice on this would be sincerely appreciated; since I have no experience with unlocking and/or root/ROMs; though I've been reading and really can't find info on my first question.
TIA to anyone that can point me in the right direction.

Unlock it before anything with the provided code and steps from t.mobil, then root and flash any touchwiz rom. Go thru the comments for know issues on each rom. Jedi and conch are good.
