Just got my SGH-T999

I've been researching rooting and installing CWM for awhile on this phone and I think I have it figured out, just let me know if I am out of line.
I found a pre-rooted ODIN image of jellybean from root66. I'm thinking of flashing that first to get root access, then download rom manager and flash CWM recovery.
Just want to make sure I don't brick this expensive phone.

Yes man . You got it right

Need someone to test my CM10.1 build

Hi i just setup a fresh build environment in ubuntu 13.04, and i wanted to make sure everything was working so i decided to build for an officially supported device rather than mine (which is unsupported). I synced the CM10.1 repo (today) and compiled. I have made no changes...its just stock CM10.1.
If someone with some free time could try this out to make sure it boots and nothing seems weird, that would be awesome. I just want to confirm that ive got the basics down, before i start to build for unsupported devices.
Thanks in advance.

Thanks. Im pretty sure it wont brick your phone.
It compiled perfectly with no errors, so it should work fine. And like i said its just cm10.1 with no changes. :good:
Just be sure to make a nandroid first, and then after trying the rom, restore it.
Thanks again.

Also you did a full wipe before flashing right?

Well it wont actaully let me install with having root access

Root and cwm

I want to root my Ace2 i8160 on 4.1.2 but don't i have to flash CWM recovery first?
If so, can you please point me a proper thread containing a good and stable cwm/a good and safe tutorial?
Thanks

But my Ace2 is XXNB1

No matter.
Edit: for the cwm, search on google "temporary cwm for galaxy ace2".

And also the fact about Rom Manger: it bricks your phone
It need a link with a good and stable CWM

Ok,thanks, managed to finally root. But what's the thing with CWM temporary? Do I have to install it every time I want to use it?

Yep. But if you install cyanogen or some other custom rom you will have permanent one.

Software Update

anyone else get the prompt to update the software? are you going to update?

Got it and did it 2 days ago

Same and same

probably too early to know, does anyone know if this update will affect root? coming from htc, i remember updates were frowned upon as they can make rooting more difficult.

Got phone few days ago and update popped up. I postponed it so its in my notification bar until someone confirms device can be rooted on update safely.

below is the link I used. The battery drain is bad but manageable. I think it puts the wrong recovery on the phone, but it does root the phone. I was able to use titanium again :highfive:
