I too have been trying to root with stock FL26. I did have a rooted phone with FL26 but someone stole it at
the grocery store right out of my cart. Now I have a replacement from insurance that needs tweaking..
The guides I've seen are geared for older updates. not sure why it isn't working on the current.
You should check out life360, man. It's a phone tracker. Anyways. How did you get your phone rooted? I really need mine rooted!!

I had life360 installed, the guy took the phone down the street and pulled the battery first chance he had.
The street it was at when it updated last location was a drug dealer area. Anyway, on that particular phone I used odin in windows, similar method that I used with the original epic. Just trying to get this newest update rooted without bricking, just needed confirmation that the method talked about above would do that.

Rooting a Galaxy SIII is MUCH easier than rooting a phone with their 190 step htc-ish root...i bought my siii 7 months ago and was my first android phone, and read 2 or 3 tutorials and rooted it, easier than a jailbreak

If you don't know what you're doing, then no.
Well, ask yourself what you would need root for. If you root, you will be sucked into the depths of the rom flashing vortex, and that's a one-way journey. Trust me on that one, mate. I tried rolling unrooted stock and lasted but a few hours of that eternal torment.
Thanks

Yeah, rooting takes literally only 3 seconds once you've set up working drivers, and have odin up and running.
Make sure you read the instructions carefully when rooting so you won't make any mistakes

Root it, overclock CPU to 3GHz, undervolt it to 0.1V and then cry here that phone became unstable.
RLY?
If you are even asking the question if you should root - DO NOT DO IT as it is OBVIOUS that you do NOT know WHAT ARE YOU DOING.

I don't think it's going to get rooted. My wife has it and there seems to be no support for it.

Does the dump include the modem? We desperately needed the modem to be ported to the international versions (I-9200 and I-9205). HSPA+ signals are very inconsistent and I believe porting the modem from the AT&T version will help us a lot.

You would ideally need a new stock Rom which includes the modem.
As soon as I get mine in my hands I will dump it. But thanks to att for bsing me. It will be tomorrow

No roms will work, if ever, on this device because it has been "protected" by Att from running unsigned boot and recovery images.

I have tried motochopper which hung at "starting daemon" and I have tried 'Root_for_ATTSG4_FM3.rar' which failed on the device detection. Has anyone tried the chinese vroot exploit or tried flashing the system image from one of the roms posted?
Don't you need to still developer options to get root?

It's just a matter of time. The more I think about it, the more I'm convinced that of all the millions and millions of android phones that ATT sells......why would they decide to lock this ONE phone? Just not logical....the Intl model can be rooted...I feel strongly this one can also.

whoa dude
1. android 4.1.1 would be cm10, not cm9. unless you're selling a phone with android 4.0.4, which would be cm9. don't confuse the customer.
2. this phone has a 3G radio only, no 4G.
correction
You are correct and i knew that i was totally mesmorized by the sick ass boot animation which clearly states CM9 BTW can someone tell me how to extract that image and install it on my S2 T989?

Skep, i believe his new phone (or phone he is posting from) is the s2 t989 and old phone is fascinate.
The most stable 4.4 rom in my opinion right now is paranoid android beta 3

next time google the phone specs lol
obviously there is no magic involved here if the phone didn't support 4g from the factory then it never will you are talking about differneces in hardware
something you *should* know by now
also I don't recommenced selling a phone preloaded with cyanogen mod the customer may have issues getting it to activate with verizon afaik last I checked you can not activate a phone running cyanogen mod you need to be running the stock firmware first activate THEN flash to whatever
Im more of a software guy never once had or will have verizon as a carrier or sprint so I wasnt sure and the guy asked so as a stand up guy instead of bull****ting him to sell the phone i asked and phone is advertised with cm rom installed and also for the choice to be flashed back to the powerwashed 2.3.4 GB so thanks for the input but I do *KNOW* how to list and sell a phone.
