If already rooted the stock ROM on a new TMo S3 with the first ODIN-based solution posted (CM recovery), can I use the ROM manager to update the newly released TMo update via stock ODIN flashable ROM with root injected into the system image - TMO T999UVALH2, without having to go through all the steps with ODIN, ...
If the ROM manager is not to be used for root66_TMO_T999UVALH2.tar, then are the steps provided in the link above still useable, even for previously rooted S3?
[OT] After having rooted the phone, checking the flash counter I found it to be 3. Any idea why?
Root66 version is a tar file so u have to update via Odin. Also u need to be on stock recovery not cwm.

That's older firmware UVALH2 is the newest "ROOT66 tar" package is the one u want it is the newest and best.

Thank you for the follow-up. Although I am done with the upgrade via the easiest path: Kies to be able to install the latest official OTA-released -> then re-root using the original link I sent, I am a little confused about your last statement: the root66 I have is inclusive of the UVALH2, which is the latest official version, in my understanding. I found a reference to an UVALH3 (supposedly JB related), but that is not what Samsung / TMo delivered OTA lately, and I don't think that's what you meant?!?
Hi all,
I tried to uprgrade my P605 by OTA to 4.4.2 from 4.3 MJ4 with wanam exposed but it didn't... downloading is ok but after a reboot it appear "unable to upgrade".
How I can do that ? And if I can't, where I can't find the ROM prerooted ?
If there is no prerooted ROM, what is the step by step method to unroot my tab, upgrade it and re-root it ?
Thanks a lot for all your responses
regards
Or perhaps a ROM I can use with mobil ODIN ? (is every ROM can be use with mobile odin ?)

Hi,
I think that the best thing would be to download the stock ROM you want to install from SamMobile or Samsung Updates, flash it with Odin and the using the method given HERE root it with TowelRoot.
So far there is not any stock pre-rooted ROM available for the P605

Well I don't know but AFAIK Mobile Odin doesn't support the Note 10.1 version 2014 !!
It's not a big deal to root it after flashing the stock ROM !!
Thanks,
Finally I flashed my tab with the stock rom from sammobile with ODIN and yhen I rooted it with cf-autoroot from chainfire and everything is perfect !!!

So do you have the P605v (Verizon LTE) version? Then you flashed the stock ROM (4.3) from SamMobile via ODIN and re-rooted, correct? I just want to make sure that I am doing this "apples-to-apples" as I don't want to lose root on my P605v.
No I have p605, not verizon version.
Confused about rooting with T999UVUEOH1
ok
If the phone is running a stock 4.3 Samsung ROM, the phone will have knox. Best thing to do would be to run OTA updates until the phone is running the latest ROM. This will ensure that the phone has the most recent bootloader and modem.
Once updated, you can easily root the phone by flash TWRP for the d2tmo via Odin. After installing TWRP, you can flash supersu 2.45 or 2.46 via TWRP and have root access.
Note that flashing TWRP will trip the knox counter.
Ok
The method I recommended should not cause any loss of data. To be safe, always backup before flashing anything.
Is there any warranty left on the phone? If not, tripping knox isn't going to matter.
Any attempts to downgrade the bootloader may result in a bricked phone.
Looks like the root66 method involves flashing a prerooted stock ROM. If you want to try the root66 method, just make sure the root66 ROM's bootloader and modem are the same or newer than the phone's version. If the phone has oh1, I would not use the root66 method.
Ok
Flashing TWRP and supersu from TWRP is the easiest in my opinion.
Just make sure to get the tar version of TWRP to flash in Odin.

Nahh!! The easiest way is use TowelRoot
Only need to press a button! I'm using that firmware so I CONFIRM that it's working
I guess it depends on the rom. It wouldn't work on stock 4.4.2 for me.
The kernel was patched against Towelroot in 4.4.2. We were never updated past 4.3 so it should work fine.

I had used cf-auto-root to root my note 2 running build number KOT49H.I317MVLUDNH2 (koodo 4.4.2 stock). Worked great no issues, after root I used flashify to install twrp-2.8.7.0-t0lteatt.img.
My issue is recently I noticed an update from koodo (KOT49H.I317MVLUDNH3). Using kies I installed this update, which caused the phone to loose its root. I tried using cf-auto-root to root the phone again but no supersu.
Can anyone point me to a root method that will work with the new update? Notice the difference is the 3 at the end of the build, the os version remains 4.4.2.
Thanks in advance
You could just flash supersu via Odin or TWRP and you'll have it back again...
Also....2.8.7.0 is a bit buggy atm...so 2.8.6.0 may be a better choice...g

how do you flash supersu ?
I tried to root my galaxy note 2 using odin 3.10.7 and it was successful but after checking "about device" at the very bottom it says my phone is official which it is not, it was rooted successfully so I don't know why it is saying that. Also, supersu was not installed immediately after rebooting from odin, I had to manually download supersu from the play store. When I open up supersu, it says "There is no SU binary installed, and SuperSU cannot install it. This is a problem!"
What can I do ? thanks
Flash twrp to the note 2 via Odin. Then flash supersu.zip from twrp.
hey everyone. i'm fixing my broke-a$$-screen S3. i am looking for a stock rooted att i747UCDMG rom (4.1.2 JB). if anyone has a lead on one i would greatly appreciate it.
thank you
"err on the side of kindness"
Just download the odin tar file firmware for Android 4.1.2 off of the Samsung site for your phone, flash it, then root using king root or frama root.
Personally, I would flash the LK3 stock firmware from sammobile.com and root using cfautoroot via Odin or flash supersu via TWRP.
