Hi everybody, I recently got a Koodo Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T9898D and I wanted to know if the rooting process for my device is the same as the rooting process for the T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989. I realize there is no section for Koodo's (or Telus') version of the phone on the website, so I had to post here.

You betcha! There is a forum here

I used this method and it worked great! Just make sure you use the 3.0.7 efghi signed version of Superuser. I managed to use the other one, but i got the superuser app, but no root access until I used the correct version
Anyway, there you are. Enjoy your SII X!

thanks! I was going to use that guide or the galaxy 2 root "How to Root ICS/GB on T-Mobile Galaxy S2 SGH-T989!"
but both should work though. The guide you sent me says it's for 4.0.3, will it work for 4.0.4? And you're with Koodo right?

I used the guide on Android forums, only because there were pics, but both work and are the same. And yes, same procees, just use the Superuser 3.0.7 efghi signed version. And yup! No issues with Koodo whatsoever.

Oh okay, so did you use the process from the link you sent? And it seems the main difference between the two guides is that one uses Superuser 3.0.7 efghi signed version and one uses CWM-SuperSU-v0.87.zip. While they both should work, I was wondering what the differences between the Superusers were; I think 0.87 is better because it is compatible with future firmware upgrades

Well, there was a link to this guide on that forum -
http://androidforums.com/galaxy-s2-...d-ultimate-root-optimization-guide-steps.html
I used this guide only because it had a few more details than the other, but they are essentially the same steps. Also had some pics.
And about the superusers, i don't know the difference. However I was able to install superSU from the Play Store and also update the superuser version I was using after I obtained root.
So to answer your question, I have no idea haha. Personally I think it would be best to follow the guide, and then try to upgrade after rooting, but it's your choice.
Hopefully this helps, but if not, search is your friend

okay, but you were running 4.04 when you rooted your Koodo Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T9898D right?

I sure was. I'm still using it because a few of the ICS roms are a little buggy. I've heard Jedi Mind Trick is pretty good tho. I just wanted something stable and bug free Stock with root woo!
And a little question. I think you are using one too many 8's. Your phone an SGH-T989D correct?

Telus T989D here and flashed using the method in the 2nd post worked perfectly. Used TWRP instead of CWM, rooted easily, even flashed radios (so I could unlock my SIM) back and forth, and installed AOKP.

Hey. i now you are saying that the rooting proccess is the same but do you know if all of the roms and customizations are the same? i am wanting to put CyanogenMod 10.1 RC3 on my Koodo Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T9898D but everything i am seeing is for T-Mobile.
Model number: SGH-T989D
Android version:4.1.2
any other details needed to find out which will work just let me know.
generally everything is mostly the same the only thing you might have issues with is your data you might have to find the APN settings for KODO and make sure to flash the newest radio MC6
I need to know how to root my Samsung sgh-t999 with the latest update to Jelly Bean.
Thanks

I suggest cf auto root. Read the whole post.
Easier step by step guides exist for a variety of rooting methods. I think this is the easiest. There are many posts and guides in this very forum.

If you follow directions it's very easy. Download root66, unzip it and flash using odin. You will have rooted jb

Cinci Bell SGH-T999
Greetings! I am a new SGH-T999 owner, not through T-Mobile but through Cincinnati Bell. My previous device is the Sprint GS3, which I Rooted, Flashed, etc extensively, so I have some familiarity with this stuff, but there are some differences between the 2 devices that I have questions about.
My new device is a Cincinnati Bell SG3 SGH-T999 with T999UVDLJA stock ROM:
Is it reasonable to believe this is a T-Mobile variant and I can follow procedures and use ROMs listed for SGH-T999? For example, any reason I can not use the autoroot or the root66 listed here?
Thanks in advance for your help!

You'd probably get a lot quicker answer if you searched the Q&A section or if you started you're own thread instead of taking over someone else's thread that hasnt been posted in for over a month.

Just got a new note 2 but it is still on ICS.
Root now and unlock bootloader or do an OTA to jellybean first?
If I should root now what is the best method?
Thanks in advance
i doubt there is any Note II that actually launched with a stock ICS. Note II only came with JB.
You could check out the toolkit on this thread. it should be able to help you, its very simple to use

Note 2 is kinda hard to get fixed up. (kinda funny mixing up the word fixed for mixed now that I look at it)
It is JB. The rep said it was ICS and JB was going to download at 10:30, she must be talking about an update.
Is getting root through ExynosAbuse APK v1.40 different than the tool kit?

Hi all,
Hoping someone can confirm the following before I root the S4, thanks.
1. Will updating Samsung Kies on the desktop incorporate the up to date drivers for the phone.
2. Will the Motochopper rooting method by Dan Rosenberg work on the s4 on T-Mobile Uk?
3. Does the CWM method work or any other method, if so are there any links to this, thanks.
Enjoy the phone.

This was asked and answer in the root thread. Questions do not belong here. You are in the wrong forum - this is for T-Mobile (US) devices ONLY, not the I9500 or I9505 (you have one of these).
I have T211 tab 3 7 with 3G. How to root it? The procedure in the development section is only for T210.
There's already a root method on the development section
Good luck
