Hey everyone,
About 4 months ago when I got my new Epic 4g touch I rooted the phone with autoroot and installed calkulins rom which I now have at version 2.6. I am also using an ICS theme. What do I now have to do in order to get the newest modem and custom ICS roms installed on my phone? Since autoroot is no longer functional I have heard that I will have to install the stock rom and modem on my phone and then use odin to install new modems.... Is this the case? Does anyone have links to stock roms and modems I should use before I proceed into using Odin?
Thanks!

You have few options:
1. If you want latest stock rooted rom just flash sfhubs one click FF18 rooted rom from this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1721229
2. If you want any of the custom TW (stock based) roms read thru threads, see which one you like most download the rom and copy to your sd card.
Boot to recovery. Wipe/factory reset (you're on GB rom and you're not risking to brick your phone) and apply zip in recovery.
Rom will flash kernel as well and you will have rooted ICS rom on your phone.
Download CWM modem zip file from sfhub's thread and flash it in recovery as well.
3. If you want AOSP/AOKP/CM rom just read the installation instructions in OP and follow them.
If you have more questions, ask....
Thanks!!
So sprint plugged the autoroot feature but I am still able to download any ICS rom on my current setup (after full wipe) and install through my CWM and it will work? I am on the EK02 modem, I am able to upgrade to ICS modems without using Odin?
if you have custom recovery you can flash CWM modem zip from sfhubs tread in recovery.
If you don't have custom recovery use sfhubs autoroot package to flash EK02 kernel with CWM recovery and than flash rom and modem in recovery.
Sprint din't include anything for us. It's all done by a great developer sfhub.
With Sasmung devices and their ODIN support, you aren't really required to have root to flash anything. In other devices(HTC), you need to have a exploit to root them so that you have Read/write access to certain partitions that you wouldn't normally, thus allowing you to flash.
This is a completely stock ODIN flashable ROM with root injected into the system image.
This is a fairly easy way to get root WITHOUT tripping the flash counter that will void the warranty. If you don't care about tripping the counter then you can get root other ways.
4.3 Image Notes: With 4.3 images, KNOX is removed in order for root to stick. This will flag the Knox counter. Once you flash one of these 4.3 images you now have the latest factory stock bootloader, radio, etc. Flashing a prior bootloader can hard/soft brick your device. Please read and understand what you are doing.
You can get ODIN here
and the drivers for the SGH-T999 so ODIN can detect your phone can be found at Samsung's site. Click on the Manuals & Downloads tab at the bottom and then on Software for the latest driver.
First download the stock odin tar that has a rooted system image injected into it:

Second,
Extract the root66 tar file from the .7z file you downloaded.
Put phone into download mode [ with phone off, hold vol. down + home + power ], connect to computer and open Odin.
once in odin click the PDA field and select the root66 tar you downloaded.
Leave Auto Reboot and F. Reset Time checked.
click start and
when done let phone reboot.
If you have issues flashing with Odin please ensure you are using the microusb cable that came with the phone, users have had issues using other cables.
If you just want a stock, rooted phone with no custom recovery, no plans to flash custom roms, etc. then you can stop HERE.
If you are coming from a different rom base (non-stock) you will want to factory wipe/reset in recovery after flashing this.
OTA Updates:
Stock Recovery: Once rooted with above method, if you receive a notification for an OTA update, it has been verified you can use OTA RootKeeper to retain root through the update process.
Non-Stock Recovery: If you have loaded a non-stock recovery (per below) you can simply use it to flash the OTA update flashable zip I've created. This is the stock OTA just modified to be flashable in CWM and TWRP and not lose root in the process. As such it still does all the checks so if you have deviated from the rooted stock image above by modifying system files this will fail.
Download: OTA Update UVALJ4 to UVDLJA
Download: OTA Update UVDLJA to UVDLJC
Third, (optional)
Note: On Jelly Bean releases it is possible and I'd say probable based on my experience with the Note II that loading a non-stock recovery will trip the counter no matter how you install it.
If you want to get clockworkmod recovery loaded so you can flash whatever you want, nandroid, etc then continue on....
Once rebooted you can essentially follow this thread to load the clockworkmod recovery. As long as you flash the recovery using the dd method with adb (or use terminal emulator from the play store) then you will NOT trip the flash counter. If you use ODIN to flash a custom recovery you will trip the counter.
Third, alternate if unfamiliar with adb commands and uncomfortable using any command line
Decide if you want to use TWRP or CWM.
If you would like to install ClockworkMod recovery then grab Rom Manager from the Play store and in the menu select to install ClockworkMod Recovery.
If you would like to install TeamWin Recovery Project then grab GooManager from the Play store and select the option to "Install OpenRecovery Script".
De-Bloater
If you've made it this far with a stock, rooted phone with cwm and you don't want to flash a custom rom (which will do its own de-bloating) you can check out my Aroma installer based De-bloater to easily get rid of bloat system apps you no longer want to see. Simply flash in CWM like anything else and you will be presented with a menu system to choose what to remove. If you are unsure it is safe to pick Recommended and still get a decent de-bloat.
[Note: Flashing this with ODIN will not wipe /sdcard or /data. Keep that in mind depending on your usage.]

I'm confused about this counter... Is the purpose really just so samsung can say no to a warranty claim? Is there a limit to the number of times the recovery can be flashed? I want to flash the new touch CWM but am afraid to do so if I only have so many times to flash a recovery.

Yes, the purpose of the counter is so that the manufacturer can reject service warranty if they see it tripped. I don't believe there is a limit of how many times you can flash. I might be wrong.
I just hope we can get a working Triangle Away on our devices.

Awesome!
Just to make sure I have this right then.
We can Root, install CWM, and then install custom roms without triping the counter?!?!
And then if needed I assume you can flash stock odin!
All with no trip of the counter?
If we use this, can we use the Galaxy S3 toolkit to install CWM? Or for that matter, can we just use the Rom Manager app from the app store and use it?

yes. Once there is a way to reset the counter people won't care as much about not tripping it. Unless the reset method is difficult or dangerous but for now as long as you never initially trip the counter you can simply flash back to stock and your phone is still covered under warranty.
OK, I used this, and everything appears to have gone fine. I have root now. Curious though, when it booted back up, nothing appears to have changed, except superuser is there now. I thought it would have reset the whole phone back to factory new.

Nope. it'll overwrite anything in /system you may have done. but doesn't touch sdcard or /data.
So that means if you had a cm9 or aokp loaded and used this you'd boot into a bunch of errors more than likely and would want to manually factory reset.
Edit: also i had no way to test this so you are confirmation it is working. prob should have put that in the first post but was late last night and forgot. So sorry and thanks!
(you weren't at risk of tripping counter, i've done this before, worst case was system image wouldn't flash and you'd have to load the stock one via odin)
Edit2: plus you are like 20 min from me so if I broke your phone I'd have come and fixed it
Speaking of if I ever need to odin back to stock, I have the stock T999 rom from samsung, and it has 2 files in the zip, a .dll and a .tar. How do I use these to revert back to stock? I guess the .tar goes under pda, where does the .dll go? Or does it?
If you're worried about warranty just wait firva triangle away, personally I have insurance. I'll toss my phone in a lake and bring it back that way lol

How Do We Know If We Tripped Counter
I have a question, how do we know if we tripped the counter? I used ODIN to flash Clockword.tar and then I went into Clockwork to flash Superuser and flash a Stock T-Mobile ROM from Whitehawk. Once I booted i downloaded busybox and installed it to complete the rooting process. I never seen any warning triangles, the only thing I worried about was flashing the custom recovery in download moad, but its not a ROM so it should not have tripped the counter and any ROM flashed I have done, all have been in Clockwork MOD Recovery, never in download mode through ODIN
Hi,
I recently bought the Samsung Galaxy S3 on T-Mobile, to replace my Motorola Droid X on Verizon. Love the new phone, but miss my root capabilities - aka there's a bunch of bloat. There's an OTA not being forced for 4.1.1, but when I tried to root that, I soft bricked and got stuck in a boot loop at the pulsing Samsung. I grabbed ODIN and was able to push the stock 4.0.4 back into it and get it working again, baseband T999UVLH2, Kernel 3.0.8-925100, build IMM76D.T999UVALH2. Is there a way to root this phone, or a stock rooted ROM I could push up with ODIN?
I'm not looking to load custom ROM's, just have some of the abilities I had on my DX when it was rooted and get rid of some of the stock crap that I don't need.
I originally tried to do this with Samsung Galaxy S3 Toolkit v6.0, and soft bricked the phone. I followed the directions online, and did it as instructed, but yeah. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
All you need to root is the touch 6.0 clockwork mod recovery tar file which is available on xda as zip file and the odin version 3+ and follow instructions thats all thats needed to root, make sure you also put the superuser app inside the root of your sd card meaning connect your galaxy s3 to computer then open the root sd card and put it inside there, i believe there is a clockwordmod touch that already comes with superuser so you may not have to worry about putting superuser in root. here i'll grab links for you now. u dont checkmark anything on odin except select pda and browse for the tar file. Here is guide for your device with download links.
The clockworkmod touch recovery version is by far best and always works well with almost all roms.
I would also recomend you use liquidsmooth rom or if you want to test out the new android 4.2 cm but camera doesn't work on 4.2 cm10.1 now however it's a very nice custom rom
Btw, make sure you flash the superuser.zip file that you placed in your sd card while you are in clockwork mod recovery otherwise you wont comlete the root. to get into cwm you gotta hold volume up home button and power button at same time.

Thanks to both of you, I'm rooted, exactly the way I wanted to be. I couldn't get CWM to flash in stock recovery, nor could I get Root66 to flash in recovery, so I just pushed it with Odin. All I need to do now is get CWM Touch on it, and I'll be set. I'm reinstalling my root apps as we speak.
Thanks again!
Odin cf auto root is the quickest and simplest.

Flash cwm via Odin uncheck auto reboot. Then go straight to recovery then reboot. I'd wipe cache and dalvik while in there though.

If you got it today most likely it does NOT have the newest firmware.
Check the BASEBAND in your phone and check if it ends with a MDB or a MDL.
If it ends with MDL then you have the latest Touchwiz Jellybean 4.2.2 firmware.
There is no Odin flashable pre-rooted MDL firmware available yet.
The easiest way to gain root access is to first install Goomanager
which is a free app from the playstore.
After you install Goomanager click the menu button and select "installopenrecoveryscript" and
when it gets done doing that you will see in goomanager an option to reboot into recovery (Twrp custom touch recovery)
But unless you have Odin flashed the latest MDL firmware I suggest you do not install Goomanger yet.
If you do it prior to Odin flashing the latest MDL firmware you will just have to install goomanger again.
Once you have odin flashed the stock mdl rom and you have installed goomanager and flashed the
openrecoveryscript in goodmanager download a custom cwm/twrp flashable zip file rom and copy it
to your internal sdcard then flash it in twrp recovery, once it's flashed you will be automatically rooted.
The best custom rom available at the present time is Wicked v3, it's a Touchwiz Jellybean 4.2.2 MDL based rom.
So the first thing to do is to Odin flash the latest MDL stock firmware.
Be sure to go into recovery and do a full wipe including factory reset, wipe system, wipe cache and dalvik cache
before Odin flash of the stock firmware.
Here is the link just in case you want to Odin flash the stock MDL Tmobile Touchwiz Jellybean 4.2.2 firmware: http://k0nane.info/rom/M919UVUAMDL_M919TMBAMDL_TMB.zip

You are RIGHT, I almost forgot.. (I did forget)
You need to flash the Odin flashable TAR file "TWRP" first, then after
the custom rom is flashed is when you should install goomanager
and then the custom rom.
Good luck with it.

Before doing anything else you need to download and odin flash the official
stock Samsung N900T Kitkat NF1 4.4.2 firmware from http://SamMobile.com
or any other trusted source. After you have successfully flashed the firmware
follow the step by step guide below:
(be sure to do a full wipe before flashing the firmware)
#1: Download cf-autoroot for N900T:
https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/...mo-smn900t.zip
#2: Download twrp custom recovery for N900T:
https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/...mo-4.4.img.tar
#3: Unzip the contents of cf-autoroot into an empty folder on your desktop
#4: Copy twrp custom recovery into the the same folder you created
#5: Flash the cf-autoroot with Odin windows app which is in your new folder
using "download mode" of the phone
#6: Flash the twrp recovery using download mode of the phone with Odin
#7: After both cf-autoroot and and twrp recovery are odin flashed successfully
you can either keep your stock N900T firmware or you can boot into twrp recovery
and flash any of the compatible zip file roms found in this forum.
Good luck!

stock Samsung N900T Kitkat NF1 4.4.2 firmware from http://SamMobile.com
or any other trusted source. After you have successfully flashed the firmware
follow the step by step guide below:
(be sure to do a full wipe before flashing the firmware)
#1: Download cf-autoroot for N900T:
https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/...mo-smn900t.zip
#2: Download twrp custom recovery for N900T:
https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/...mo-4.4.img.tar
#3: Unzip the contents of cf-autoroot into an empty folder on your desktop
#4: Copy twrp custom recovery into the the same folder you created
#5: Flash the cf-autoroot with Odin windows app which is in your new folder
using "download mode" of the phone
#6: Flash the twrp recovery using download mode of the phone with Odin
#7: After both cf-autoroot and and twrp recovery are odin flashed successfully
you can either keep your stock N900T firmware or you can boot into twrp recovery
and flash any of the compatible zip file roms found in this forum.
Good luck!

Hmmm, wasn't able to get root using cf-autoroot. It just kept bootlooping trying to get into recovery... never saw the red Android logo.
This method worked for you on the latest update?

Never mind, I fixed my own problem.
I forgot to do a full wipe before hand and now my phone loads up fine for maybe a minute or two and then reloads over and over. Anyway I can fix this or reset it via odin?
