That quote is from the other thread. I'm sure people will be asking about it. This person and another says Towel Root didn't work on the new firmware, if you upgrade let that be a warning until they (hopefully) find a workaround.

cf autoroot trips knox . Towel root does not. Some people prefer to root without voiding thier warranty. This is not dumb.

If you say so. I could care less about knox. If my phone hasn't had a defect yet, then I'm not worried about it. Good luck with towel. Plus, using JUMP for Galaxy F in Sept. Count it.....

One other tip I would like to add, take it to a Tmo store. If they accept it, I am willing to bet I can make a case that my phone wasn't rooted or tampered with when I turned it in. Kinda like chain of custody with police evidence..... It could have been tampered with by some dude at the Tmo store.... just saying

All they need is a 2nd employee to verify that is was tampered with when you turn it in. You might not like the rules but Tmobile and Samsung makes them. It kind of sucks that this is the way it is but it is what it is. You seem like you know all the answers.

Hi
I forgot my pattern and my phone is locked now, and asking for gmail account details. I put my details in (with @gmail.com and without) but it doesn't work!
What should i do?!
thanks
It doesn't work? As in, you don't have internet on your phone? Is your phone rooted? The only thing I can think of is flashing a new firmware.

I do have internet on the phone. Its a known bug which have many solutions on the web but none of them works.. and no, my phone is not rooted.
I'm trying to find a solution without rooting or wiping data..
please help.. my phone is bricked..
bump
It's bricked now or are you trying to get attention? Just wipe it. It's an easy way out.
If all else fails, you could always contact a Samsung service centre, as long as you can provide proof of purchase I'm sure they should be able to unlock it.

I guess the "brick" have a different meaning for the two of us.
I didnt want to wipe it, its my sister's phone and she had important stuff.
Anyway, she found out she was trying the wrong username the whole time.

Not until the official OTA is released. If you want ICS now, the only way is to root and flash an ics rom.

Chainfire needs help on twitter with testers for triangle away. Check with him on Twitter. I may test for the Sprint version.

Tested it on my Sprint GS3. Worked like a charm. I did it on CM10 but users on stock ROMs are reporting it works as well!
My counter was at 2. It is at 0.
That's what it says. As far as I'm concerned, it hasn't been tested yet on Tmobile...at least with a counter >0

Are there other methods to root our device that has 2.xxx firmware? I just got a replacement phone so it's up to date and therefore the current root method won't work with it.
No there is not and this should be in questions. definitely not original android development.

Not to perpetuate this thread in the wrong section (God forbid), but do you mean that it's possible to RUU and S-Off a stock 2.4 device? My friend just got one, and is stuck with a locked bootloader, too.
Has anyone tried/confirmed that this works?

That's what I'm curious of. I'm reading up on a thread for people that accepted the OTA, but I haven't come across any successful attempt at RUUing back to 1.2 (or, whatever), so the bootloader can be unlocked, and the device can be rooted/S-OFFed. A confirmation of whether or not this is possible would be nice before this thread is locked and deleted.
---------- Post added at 03:48 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:29 AM ----------
From what I read in this thread – http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2017525 – if you were previously rooted and such, you can use your original unlock.bin from HTC. If your device had never had the bootloader unlocked, and you accepted the OTA, or got the device with 2.xxx firmware, you're screwed.
Good on you, Verizon. ಠ_ಠ

Lets keep it civil guys.
Thanks.
JTAG it, or pay someone else to do it. I don't see why people are so apprehensive. If you're willing to risk bricking by flashing stuff its not a far step to send it out and get it unlocked.
If I ever need a replacement I'm surely going to send mine out. Or I might pick up a riff box myself and start doing it.

Check the CDA code of your device and look it up in XperiFirm, in that way you should know your carrier.
