Hi I am new to this forum and since I have seen multiple methods of rooting, I want to know which root method for SM-T217S was most up to date and relevant.
Could anyone point me in the right direction?
Thank you
I used Odin to flash twrp, then just flashed the supersu Zip from there, or if I'm not mistaken, towel root is compatible with it, but i may be wrong

Or you could Odin the recovery, then just install a rooted stock rom
Flashing supersu update zip from recovery is the easiest way to root this device

I've searched for a good 15 minutes, I might have let it slip, but I'm really busy and I need to have this rom for tonight. This is a big time request.
I'm sending my cellphone for overheating problems because I'm still under warranty, and I can't find the Canadian rom for the SGS3(BELL). I have the stock + root one, but I can't find a really stock one. My flash trip counter and other things that should be default are not tripped, so it shouldn't pose any problem.
Last little question : Do I flash the stock rom via cwm to keep the counters normal? It should also remove cwm, right?
Thanks, sorry for being a burden.

Also you flash through Odin via computer or mobile Odin on phone. I the it should make your phone stock then get triangleaway to reset the phone status

It's a nice link, tried to go for the download, of course it doesn't work.
I'll google too then. If anybody has a working link, I'll take it.

The only problem is it's in the wrong section, it should be in this one not the verizon one.

Hey XDA! I recently perm-rooted my SGS3 T-mobile versionT999 using the QCOM Toolkit and Odin and I flashed custom CMW recovery 6.(whatever) and did backups of all my stuff like data, system, EFS partition and more. It also renamed my recovery restore files. I read a few things regarding the OTA update of JB coming out soon and heard that if it is updated it could actually turn s-off back on and mess up your root and mess up a bunch of other things that I've done.
First off I would like to ask for some clarification on this subject as to what exactly will happen if the OTA updates to JB and if it will automatically be prevented or if I have to do something to keep my phone from automatically upgrading to JB on its own. Also if it turns out that I cannot do the OTA JB update should I just flash a custom JB rom or possibly flash a stock release of the JB rom?
Secondly I wanted to ask about the flash counter. Currently I have not flashed anything but CWM (twice cause I tried to flash touch but it failed) I have not flashed any roms or kernels or radios yet. Has my flash counter already been tripped? What exactly will trip the counter? I also read something about resetting the trip meter and flashing everything back to stock including unrooting. Can someone post a link to a guide(s) that have steps for that? (Trust me I've been looking on XDA for a few hours trying to answer all these questions myself but I cant find some of them and I figured asking and having them answered all in one place would be much easier and helpful to me and others as well). In the future I may look into flashing another kernel so I can overclock and also some other roms. Another question arises though: What exactly is and insecure kernel ( I believe thats what they're called) and also what is an insecure boot img? Sorry I have so many questions but theres a lot of information to take in when a new phone receives root and gets a bunch of new possibilities!
One final question until new ones arise. What exactly are these new builds I keep reading about? Ive seen "T999UVALEM", "uvalh2", "uvalh3" , "UVLI2,3 & 4", "UVDLI3", "UVDLH3", "UVALG1", and "ULVH2" and I assume there are many more haha.
What exactly even are these??? Its just too much to keep up with. Thanks to anyone who can clear up the confusion
Well I believe that about sums up my questions so if you can help me out I would greatly appreciate it! Thanks guys!
If you have cwm installed the OTA will fail.

flashing using Odin trips the counter
Flashing using cwm does not
You can use triangle away (an app) to reset your flash counter

the uvl stuff is different leaks (builds)
The different builds came with new basebands (modems) as Samsung tries to increase reception
Look in development for the modem thread
For example I'm running the latest cm10 nightly and using the latest modem. So my baseband is T999UVLI8

So when I used the toolkit (which used Odin) to root and flash CWM the counter was tripped? Oh well I'm sure there will be workarounds later
Yes go ahead and flash a custom Rom. The developers will have a rooted version of the ota once it drops. And you can just flash that.

You can download triangle away on xda website or buy it in the play store
It resets the counter to zero.

I don't know what the toolkit is but there was a guide in the development section on rooting without tripping the counter. Essentially it used Odin to flash a stock rom that had root injected and from there you could install cwm. As long as u flash roms with cwm it shouldn't trip the counter to my knowledge but if u use Odin to flash roms it will trip the counter

holy mackerel this is GOLD!!! Clears SOOOOO much up! many thanks dude!!!
Hello everyone!
I accepted an OTA update a while ago and noticed today that my root access disappeared. So, I went on-line and tried to do research to get root access back and all I found were websites telling me to never do an ota when rooted. However, I already did it and I couldn't find how to reroot my phone. Am I going to be rootless forever now? Does anyone know a way to get root access back? Please help me out~
Root like you normally would?
Updating while rooted is safe. If you have a modded system or recovery it will fail.
Any root method that worked previously will still work.
If you did it before you can do it again!

Agree. Just root it again.

someone help mee..!! i am using CyanKat now, but i want to know how to get back on past..
Do you have recovery loaded? If you just download the ROM you want on to your SDcard. Then reboot to recovery and install from SDcard. Find your ROM and install.
I recommend SlimBean. It is a great Rom.
Why do you want to go to stock when there are many better choices.

is it HTC Vision's Stock ROM? look, i need to run chainfire3D, and its only run on Stock ROMS, not on Custom ROMS..
it is custom rom based on stock. not many changes. give a try
If you're looking for absolute stock, with no add ons or anything, this is my suggestion http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1169004 You won't have your data unless you backed it up with like a third party app (my app of choice for that is MyBackup Root for apps & settings and such, SMS Backup and Restore for messages)

I've had this problem before, it normally happens to me when installing an older rom after a newer one, due to the way partitions are formatted. Flash this via CWM, then reflash the rom: SuperWipeG2 If that doesn't work, just let me know and I'll try and help

I have the same issue and your suggestion didn't help.
Tried several times, both deodexed version and the original, but neither worked. Tried flashing the SuperWipeG2+ext4 before installing stock, after installing stock (flashing stock, SuperWipe, stock again) on both normal and deodexed versions. Still the phone loads up the HTC logo+vibrate, takes a few seconds, makes a small vibration again and nothing happens.
All other custom ROM's that I've tried work. I've tried CyanKat, CM11, CM7.2, Vision G-lite 2.0.0.
I'm trying to go back to stock, because all custom ROM's have a huge battery drainage issue that I am unable to resolve (but lets keep that to another thread). The stock ROM did not have the issue.
Stock ROM is no formatted to ext4, but besides this are you trying to go back to stock but keep custom recovery and secure flags off or completely return to stock as the method to do so will differ
Either way you should find what you need here

Is there any chance you would want to root the 4.1.1 and pull an image of the bootloader using a script one of the XDA users prepared. Quite a few of us have hard bricked our phones and we would like to try and boot from an SD card with the 4.1.1 bootloader. If you can help here is the recovery flashable file to generate the image.

Someone who has FULLY updated to the new build NE4 needs to flash the linked file via custom recovery. This will create a new debrick.img on your sdcard that you can then upload to help rescue the dead devices here. If the new debrick.img has already been found, disregard this.
T999_Partial_Sys_Dump_for_Debrick.zip
I know it says T999 in the file name, but it should work for the I747 just the same.
Hope it helps!
Let me know if you can help.

ok so i found out and figured out how to update back to 4.1.2
I had to Triangle away and odin back to stock 4.1.1 with no root
Then put the update421.zip from here
Then boot into the stock recover and flash the update file.
Bam now I have 4.1.2 Stock un rooted.
Next I'm going to root it and dump it for you.
If your phone isn't unlocked, you could flash back to 4.1.1 and unlock it.
If you are on 4.1.2 all you need to do to unlock is flash the 4.1.1 modem.
