I'm new to xda but was previously running a HTC with CM. I've had my s3 for a week or so now. I'm wanting to root my phone and I've read through some other how to's and from what I've gathered the method to root a Sprint s3 works for an s3... I was just curious if the toolkit would be the same way if I just select a sprint phone?? I would have posted under the took kit thread but beings this is my first post I wasn't able too. Thanks in advanced!

Hi All
I am looking to root the telus Galaxy 4g model T959P. I have read that the T959D can be done by doing Odin to speedmod kernel then flashing the stock telus kernel which is 2.3.3 not the 2.3.4 that I currently have. So I don't think that will work. Has anyone been successful with this and if so please share. I know I am suppose to be in the forum specific to my phone but that isn't going to happen see the link below. If someone could help me out that would be great....

Just as a heads up, Ive tried super 1 click 20 different ways to sunday, another guy tried Z4 Root. I have searched a lot of forums (none that actually refer to this phone since they don't exist). Google searches bring up some information but it is all foyo based nothing for gingerbread. Any developer want to take a crack at this? I'm kind of surprised there isn't even just a Telus forum here........
I sure hope im not the only one that wants to root the telus galaxy 4g

Good Day!
I just picked up a shiney new Galaxy S II from ATT (from my iPhone 4). I've had various Android tablets, and rooted many droid phones (including the Vibrant I had a week).
However I'm unsure which CF-root to use with this baby, and I don't want to brick it.
Under Settings, About Phone this is what is listed.
Android Version
2.3.4
Baseband
I777UCKH7
Kernel Version
2.6.35.7
My understanding is the CF-Root I need would use KH7, but I haven't found one (at least in the CF-Root thread, but its 200+ pages long!)
Any information would rock my world and save quite a bit of time for me!
Thank you!
Hey there
XDA created a new forum for AT&T SGS2 located here http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1301 I just did a quick check and see a few rooting threads under development you might want to check out. This forum is for the international galaxy s ii so you most likely won't find the kernel you're looking for to root here since its technically a different model with the soft key buttons and all. I believe Codeworkx created a rooting solution over there
Hope this helps
Thank you, not 5 minutes after I posted this did I find the link to the other forums! rock on xda!
I just got it... can u send me the link?
I have the same problem, do you think you can send me the link to download it?? thanks!

Dude, this is a 6 month old thread, and the ATT Galaxy s2 forum is linked in post 2 above.
I followed external instructions titled "How to Root Samsung Galaxy S2 easily" (sorry, can't link) to attempt to root my brand new Samsung Galaxy S2 on Sprint in the US. And while everything seemed to work, the phone now has No Service. Just a big old circle with a slash through it, no matter how many times I reboot or how long the battery is out of the phone.
I am fairly inexperienced with rooting phones... I've flashed a few roms to an old Droid X, but that's about it. I'd love if someone more advanced would advise me on the right steps here so I can avoid bricking this further. I'd like to come out of this unexpected situation with a successful root, but beggars can't be choosers; I'd be happy to just undo this and get the phone back to working order.
Thank you!
Dude if it's a sprint device (Epic 4G) then u dun goofed, the firmwares and kernels in this forum are not going to work on it. Look for the Epic 4G forum for firmware to reflash the device.
Thank you. I reposted on the Epic 4G Touch Q&A board.

Moving to Q&A
US Cellular LTE SG3 - SCHR530, Was build ALK5 on 4.1.1 and was rooted (using free version mskip's Toolkit) and all was fully functional. When the 4.1.2 android update became available for my phone, I performed manual 4.1.2 download/installation, which completed successfully. Build AMD4.
Donated/upgraded to mskip's pro version Toolkit. Began the re-root - exact build wasn't listed, picked closest, completed process, phone was rooted BUT lost all access to camera and any apps that use camera failed due to camera fail. Unable to find a cure for this particular issue, I used the toolkit to unroot my phone. I RE-applied Samsung android update 4.1.2 and have remained UNrooted until last night.
Ran the Toolkit, toolkit auto-updated to the latest version released (says 4.1.2 build AMD4 is supported) , prepared to root phoneagain I find this exact build (AMD4) is not listed, so picked closest one, completed process, phone is rooted..... BUT AGAIN I have no use of camera!
How can I fix this and stay rooted? Or do I resign myself to not having a rooted phone in order to keep functionality of my camera?
Thanks for any helpful insights to this issue.

I am having the exact same issue, I need my camera and my root, might have to go back to 4.1.1 to get it though.
I'm also on a donated toolkit, please post if you find a solution.
This is the i9300 forum, you are in the wrong place. Also have you tried contacting mskip to raise a query?

Thank you for your acknowledgement, I truly appreciate it.
I did know this is the i9300 forum, and I have tried to contact mskip a number of times, including directly in the thread that the most recent toolkit was announced. Apparently I cannot post in there (?) due to not having enough posts and not being a developer; at least that's what the "error message" is when I tried. And then the advisement that I must post questions in a Q & A. I guess I'm lost!
In any case, I did several searches for the camera issue combined with rooting and I ended up in this forum. I would greatly appreciate it if you could steer me towards the proper place to post - I haven't seen a specific forum for the US Cellular model SG3, and I'll admit - I'm greatly out of practice these days in my forum using skills.

Still no love for my issue, and almost a month later, still the choice of root & no cameras or cameras & no root :crying:
Toolkit support says US CELLULAR MODEL LTE[SCH-R530] support should use AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III forum, can anyone verify for me if that is the correct place to try to post about my problem? Thank you very much!

It does seem that most of that info is out of date and there is no real home for the US Cellular LTE Samsung Galaxy S3, and as far as the other methods, I am just not that savvy - the automated toolkit is slick, but I appreciate your suggestions. Thank you.
Hello, this is my first time posting on here.
I have an old Galaxy S3, USA version, T-mobile, SGH-T999. I was wondering how to update it to make it usable? From what I've read online the best way is to root and put in a custom ROM. The problem I'm having is finding the latest ROMs. Is there any way to find the latest official ROMs for the phone? And if I download an unofficial one, how can I know which will run well on my phone? Do I just simply get the latest unofficial ROM?
Lastly, if any one has any step by step guide or video on how to root and install ROMs it would be much appreciated as I've never done something like this before. Sorry if this has been posted before, I'm new to this site and have been having trouble navigating and searching old posts.
Thank you.

I suspect the reason that you haven't gotten any responses in the last day or so is that you are on the wrong part of the Forum! This is the area for the Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 9.7" Tablet, not the Galaxy S3 Smartphone.
You might want to take a look over here for the T-Mobile S3.
Hope that helps clear things up
