The rooting methods are split between the 2 type of conectivities: GSM (3g) and CDMA (4g). There is a separate android development section for each of them.
Here is an useful thread that might help you, but you should know which type of connection do you have. I am not familiar with the US carriers but I think verizon is for 3g and sprint is for 4g, don't take my word for it tho.

Rooting method in gsm is also splitted in two ways, 9020a and 9020t. I guess he wants to know that...

Wow...every single reply has missed the OP question, which was how does he find the model number of the phone he has.
Answer is: Pull the battery and read the model number from the barcode label on the back of the phone under the battery
Cheers!
Barcode says:
Model: GT-I9020
SSN: -I9020GSMH
So still no info wether it's an 9020A or T

I can tell just by looking at your baseband. You have the "t" model

The "a" version gets baseband kd1 when updated to 2.3.4. If you force kd2, you get a baseband of NO XXKD2.
Since you have neither, you have either an i9020t or i9023. Since you have amoled, it has to be i9020t

when i got my phone it was on 2.3.4 and i followd this guide
http://jaxov.com/2011/02/how-to-root-android-2-3-3-gingerbread-on-nexus-s/
Thank you for your Reply.. But the guides is all about 2.3.3, I am just afraid that ill brick my phone if i mess up something.
So can i just ignore the 2.3.3 part..and just think tht its the guide for 2.3.4?
I followed this guide:

The root process for the nexus s is universal. It doesn't matter what version you're running on. What matters is your phone model.

Here's the thing. As usual it seems to be an organization issue here between major brands and models so after looking around for hours I'm still not able to figure out what is going on here.
I bought a Samsung galaxy S II LTE SGHI727R from Rogers Canada.
Is there a European ROM available for it? i want to debrand it and remove bloatware I guess.
Will the Samsung Skyrock ROM work on it ok?
Some good info on this matter would be really appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
I think the easyest thing to do is go on the samsware website choose a reagion u want it from and flash it. I had a problem upgradeing my phone with loads of crappy bloatware. So I just flashed stock europe firmware to it. Just dont choose a network provider firmware but it does explain it easly enough
Where exactly can I find this on samsung's websites? Been looking, but can't find it
This is most probs best site for the original firmware its got a list of all sgs2, sgs1 etc

Hello everybody,
I'm French and totally new in this forum.
Just got a Galaxy S2 LTE from my dad who brought it back from a biz trip in Germany here's what I found when I checked the phone's version:
Baseband: I9210XXKI5
Kernel: 2.6.35.11-I9210XXKI5-CL616063 [email protected] #2
Build number: GT-I9210-eng 2.3.5 GINGERBREAD 0XXKI5 test-keys
Anyone can tell me something about it? I know that the phone is rooted because Root Check Basic told me so.
As I'm living in France, will it be a problem if I try to upgrade to ICS?
Thanks,
Max
Well your phone is definitely not the Skyrocket, but it definitely has the same chip set. I wouldn't advice rooting with any if the skyrocket methods until you know it's safe.
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda premium
Indeed, the phone isn't the skyrocket but no for the GS II LTE
Does anyone know where I can find the stock firmware so I can unroot the phone?

Hallo,
I would like some help rooting my S3.
I'm confused on which root method to use.
I do not want to flash a custom rom, just gain root acces.
Obviously I don't want to brick my expensive new phone, that's why I'm asking the experts here before I do anything.
Here are the full specs:
Model number: GT-I9300
Android version: 4.1.1
Baseband version: I9300XXDLID
Kernel version: 3.0.31-256827 ([email protected] #1)
Build number: JRO03C.I9300XXDLIH
Notice how the baseband version has a 'D' at the end, while the build number has an 'H'.. Don't know what it means but it might be worth mentioning.
What would be the best method for rooting my phone? Which package and which version of Odin do I use?
Thanks,
David

Anyone? Or am I posting in the wrong section of the forum? I know there a lot of rooting threads out there, but none of them list my specific build number. It's an unlocked international S3 bought in Belgium btw.
If you have any info, please share.
Thanks,
D.
