I hate starting new threads cause, well, everyone else hates it lol.
But my hand is forced. I want the multi-window feature on my phone and like the impatient people we are, I want it now. Well the only problem is that the only way of getting said feature is too root your phone and install a custom ROM. Which is perfectly fine, I have no quarrels with custom roms, in fact I love them, I think the developers are amazing and truly unlock the full potential of the phone when they do make custom ROMS. However, one thing I do notice is that sometimes the roms become buggy and laggy after a while. Anyway's I digress...
My true reason too create this thread is that I need help in rooting my phone as its new and I paid full price for it, the last thing I want to do is brick it. By all means I am no noob, I've been rooting all my phones. Its just that I see that there is no direct root method for the t889v, I would assume it to be similar to t889 and with an addition to flashing the t889v modem/radio.
But if there is someone out there, who could assist me in successfully doing so I will be mighty grateful to them. I would prefer it be a person who has rooted their t889v.
Did you successfully get this resolved? Just got the Canadian version of T889V note2. I'd love to control my privacy a bit more, such as feeding malicious apps a fake contact list instead of letting then steal everything

If by direct root you mean exploit, there isn't any I'm aware of. However rooting with Odin and either a stock injected ROM (if you want to avoid tripping your counter) or Chainfire's AutoRoot, or CWM and flashing a superuser zip as usual works just fine.

Will CF-Autoroot work with the T889v?
I don't know if CF-Autoroot will work on 4.3, but since you're going to trip the KNOX e-fuse anyway, you might as well:
Get Odin3 3.09 (the latest available version AFAIK)
Download the latest SuperSU zip update file and put it on your SD card
Flash the latest t0tle Odin flashable image. (Other HSPA t0lte variants like t0lteatt and t0ltetmo should also work)
Or, if you've got a tar binary (like Cygwin's if you're on Windows) available on your computer, the latest Clockworkmod image, which you'll rename to recovery.img and put in a tar file with the command: tar -H ustar -cf clockworkmod.tar recovery.img
Reboot to recovery
Backup your current ROM and data, just in case.
Install the SuperSU zip.
Reboot.
The stock, unmodified ROM might throw error messages about KNOX having been tripped. I haven't touched the 4.3 bootloaders because I haven't needed them yet. I'll leave figuring how to deal with those up to you, there's a few threads on that topic.
I did root my T889v(updated WindMobile stock ROM 4.3+TMobile radio) using CF-Autoroot. Downloaded the one for N7100(the one I searched on web for T889 actually doesn't work, this N7100 one from CF-Autoroot official web site worked without problem) and rooted. Then went to market to install SuperU, then it asked whether to disable Knox, I clicked yes and root was done.
The Knox counter is tripped anyway, but I don't care.
Dont work for me ...

Hi guys,
I've read a lot and I searched for answers and I would like some help with confirming the steps required to root a Galaxy S3 on the Rogers network (Ontario Canada).
I see that there is a toolkit with instructions so that'll be a good place to start but I'm not sure what the next steps would be.
For example, do I need to upgrade the radios/firmware?
What ROMS are stable and work good on the Rogers network? I see that liquid looks amazing but there is a note about not working with Rogers in the OP.
I would appreciate if someone could give me the outline of what needs to be done to root the phone, and ROM recommendations considering I'm looking for stability first rather than having a lot of features that aren't fully functional yet.
I've rooted phones before (HTC Incredible, thunderbolt, droid etc..) but here in Canada, it looks like I need to be careful because Rogers isn't Verizon!
Thanks
Canada s3 = I747M, AT&T = I747 = the same.
I am on Rogers myself.
There are many different threads tho root and flash custom recoveries. Here are a couple.
1 - download the big stock Odin package with root injected for your device. If all you want is stock with root stop here. This method will not effect your flash counter. If you would like to flash custom roms you can use terminal to add custom recovery. Booting into custom recovery will effect your flash counter.

2 - download Odin flashable custom recovery. Then flash a root via what ever recovery you choose (twrp or cwm). This method will effect your flash counter.

Flash counter doesn't really matter as you can use triangle away to reset the counter before you Odin flash to factory stock.

As for Rom wise that will be up to you as each user's preferences are different. Have fun and flash away trying different roms/kernels. As long as it's for d2att, d2can, i747 or i747M you will be ok. Just make sure you read the original post and a bit of the thread.
If you want all the fancy Samsung bells and whistles stick with TouchWiz based roms. If you want a non bloatware android vanilla stock feel go with cm. If you want added customizations go with aokp, paranoid android, Pac Rom, if you want stability stick with rooted stock touchwiz but the non touchwiz 4.2.2 roms are pretty rock solid imho.
With cm, aokp, or non touchwiz roms you may run into caller Id issues with the latest modem. I run task650's AOKP and use I747MUMLJ1 or I747MVLLH1 modems.

Wow, I wish I could hit the 'Thank' button more than once, that's a LOT of really good information.
This might sound silly but the reason I want to root is because I'm really bored with the phone and I want to stay away from the temptation of buying the HTC One
Can you tell I was bored? Lol
I have been itching to upgrade to the s4 my self. The AT&T locked boot loader is holding me back. It is nice that the T-Mobile and international roms are compatible. Holding off for the specs of the Google s4 to make up my mind.
I barely ever use touchwiz roms so there is no real big reasons to upgrade as most of the differences are touchwiz based additions so there really isn't that much differences as long as we have developers keeping the latest os alive on this device.
I do love the idea of a nexus like s4 if the specs are the same as the AT&T module minus the locked boot loader
Sent from my SGH-I747
Personally, I miss sense sometimes but mostly because when it came to custom ROMs, it was so much faster than any other launcher. When I try a ROM on the S3, it'll be something like Liquidrom. I'm not a fan of touchwiz either, I use Nova which is basic/boring but fast and reliable.
I might start with Stock rooted, freeze the bloat and see how that feels.
When I extract the image, I get a .tar.md5, should I rename it to just .tar before flashing it with Odin?
EDIT: NM, got it!
i currently have stock rom and no root. i want to reset the counter but keep stock rom. what is the process?
do i use odin to root it, then triangle away, then odin flash with unrooted stock rom?

I believe triangle away requires root access.
Flash a pre rooted stock Rom with Odin, then triangle away, then back to stock using Odin.
I'm rooting this phone and when I connect it in download mode odin isn't recognizing it. I have installed kies, separately installed the drives, and ended any kies processes. I have also tried 2 different usb cables and all the usb ports. What should I do? (I am using an old Compaq, could that be the problem?)

Ohai,
I'm a lurker but I've had an issue and so I need to ask a question.
I recently flashed cm 10.1 on my phone using CWM recovery.
It was sick and awesome but now I've got to get back to Samsung stock and I have no idea how.
I've found a few stock images here and there but they have root injected into them.
SO my question is, can someone please guide me and tell me where to get stock images and stuff to get Fido Galaxy S3 SGH-1747m back to stock image without root. Also, if you know can someone who has reset the trip counter thing tell me how to do that?
Thanks : D

That cannot be done. Once you have upgraded to 4.3 MK2 you cannot downgrade.
But there are plenty of excellent custom roms which are 4.3 MK2 that you can flash.
NOTE: if you have flashed the official Tmobile MK2 4.3 Odin flash firmware/rom OR if you
have allowed the OTA update and or if you upgrading using KIES and your phone is not yet
rooted and does not have any custom recovery or custom rom in it then you don't need to worry
about your warranty, it will stay GOOD as long as you do not ROOT the phone and as long as
you do not flash any custom recoveries or kernels.
Good luck!

Hi there Mr. Junky,
You forgot the most important word, in red above. Our Developers are like I was when I was in my younger days of programming, If was said something couldn't be done, I worked till I made it happen and Rooting is a good example of how our XDA "Gurus" have made things happen, and I am confident they will again rise above the rest and do the "Cannot be done" and share it with this community.....
Aloha, and Have a great day! p.s. Thank you for all your useful and clear posts that a LOT of users have benefited from!
I was doing some reading last night through the R&D thread and other various threads linked to through that one... I do believe that someone has been able to revert back to 4.2.2; but it involves some pretty risky methods and equipment which nobody in this thread likely has.

So I need some advice on which ROM to flash back on my phone. I am new to custom ROMs and managed to hard brick my phone. I am going to try a Jig to see if I can get into download mode, however, if I do that I am not sure what ROM to flash back onto my phone. It's a galaxy S3 i747. When this all started I was running JB 4.1.1 on it. Then I flashed CM10 and that went great. After I flashed CM10 my phone said that I was on JB 4.3. Did CM update JB and the bootloader? I know that trying to flash an older bootloader can cause troubles. Afater I had CM running I tried to flash LeanKernel and this is when I bricked my phone. So my questions is, do I need to flash the ROM for JB4.1.1 or for JB 4.3? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Look buddy, the first thing you want to do is flash the latest STOCK rom for you're model. After you've done that you can now backup you're stock rom via recovery (TWRP recommended), after that you now have a stable rom to return to just in case you fail to flash a custom rom. And I would recommend one of the stock mod roms to get the use of all of Samsung's exclusive features. Good luck, and feel free to ask any more questions.

There isn't an odin flashable 4.3 rom for i747. The last thing there is is 4.1.1 then the 4.3 you would take as an ota. I highly doubt cm updated your bootloader. Floating around the forums is an sd unbrick method. You could try that. I don't have experience with it, but quite a few people have. Good luck.

Not entirely sure. Never updated to 4.3 on a stock ROM. It was on JB 4.1 before I flashed CM10. However once I flashed CM10 the settings page said my phone was on JB 4.3. So not sure if the bootloader got updated or not.
Thanks so much everyone for the help. I really appreciate it. Unfortunately the Jig did not work, so it is all a moot point in the end. Looks like the phone is going off to get JTAGed.
