I'm new to rooting and phones in general, I recently bought a Samsung Galaxy SIII (SGH-T999L) off the streets I wanted to root it however I keep finding different firmwares and I'm afraid I might flash the wrong one and brick the device, I wanted to see if anyone could point me in the right direction here.
Model: SGH-T999L
Android version is 4.3
Baseband version is T999LUVUBNF4
I keep checking around but not a specific "LUVUBNF4" root firmware is available I wanted to know what is the equivalent of this firmware and where can it with root access already in it, thanks in advance.

Hi all,
I have a Samsung Galaxy SIII which is on 3UK and I'm finding it quite slow and I'd like to start with getting rid of all the software I really do not want which comes bundled with the operator software, there is tons of it!
As I can't uninstall any of it, I understand that my options are to live with it, or root it.
I'm afraid I have no idea about rooting at all and wouldnt really no where to start. So... where do I start? I do not really need the phone to do anything fancy I just want the bare bones so that I can install what I want on it, not what someone else wants me to have on it.
Can I load the Samsung firmware onto it with no additional apps? This would be my ideal solution... Failing that, I guess i'll have to root it, but I also understand that I have to choose a ROM...
Can anyone point me in the right direction of a good basic tutorial to get me started on this?
Thanks in advance!
You just have to Flash an unbranded rom I guess..then full wipe and you are golden
.Check the thread with the polish 4.1.2 rom

Hi Gavin, rooting is always a good option as it enables you to begin to exploit the potential of your device....however it is not necessary to do what you are suggesting.
The latest unbranded UK rom XXELL4 and the information you require is all in Faryaab's thread here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=25922191&postcount=1
You can flash the stock rom using Odin software which is also available in the same post.
If you wish to root there are also other pre-rooted roms available to flash via Odin elsewhere in this general section. The key is that the latest UK unbranded rom is, as I say XXELL4
Hi, thanks for that clarification, just the info I needed!
Hi,
I have a Samsung Galaxy Note II model SGH-I317M from Bell and i want to root it ONLY.
I DON'T want to install stock android or any other ROMs or MODs for now. I just want to root it so I can use some specific apps that requires root access and still want to keep TouchWiz.
So can someone please explain to me how you do it and give me the link. I also want to know if that will avoid my warranty and will I still get updates from Samsung and Bell. And if I will get updates, do I need to root my phone again after the update. Is it also possible to brick my phone during this process? And is bricking reversible?
Thank you so much in advance

1 yes you can
2 so many do a search
3 no you cant update your phone if it is rooted
3.1 but you can update it by unrooting it temporarily using an app superuser
4 1 rooting will void your warranty
2 do it as clear as per the instructions for rooting else you will soft brick your phone you can unbrick that but take precautions
that's all take a risk friend
Hi, I'm looking to root my really old galaxy S2, but I'm not sure how to do that even after reading this thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1505172). I read through most of it, but because I don't know where to go after looking for the kernel that my phone has.
When I look under "about phone" my phone says Android Version 2.3.6, Kernel Version 2.6.35.11-1209942. My kernel version didn't have a "XXK#" so I didn't know what to do, and I'm not tech-savvy enough to know what to do if I mess up. As such, I'd appreciate any, and all help about rooting my phone. Thanks.
