i have been trying to boot my phone into recovery mode but to no avail. i hold the volume up & down and power then release the power button when "samsung" appears but i just keep getting this screen. Also i cant get past this other screen to get into the phone to access anything.

I'm sure somebody knows an answer to this, but I'm just gonna say it. You need a case.

Way to respect the OP by still making the useless reply and besides don't you think it's a little late for a case?
And do a search

I
So first register at www.sammobile.com, then search SGH-T769 under firmware and download the August 2012 ICS or The Feb 2013 ICS Firmware, wait for the download to finish (took me 30 minutes) then extract which ever firmware zip you downloaded then using Odin click on PDA and select the .md5 file which is located in the extracted ICS Firmware Folder that you've downloaded from sammobile.com
Download the PIT file here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1919228
Click on PIT in Odin and then select the one downloaded from the link above
then make sure re-partition isn't checked and start the flashing process after it is done flashing and reboots you'll have stock ics to root it simply follow the instructions over at the root ics stock thread found here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1919228
This will flash a custom recovery and once the recovery is flashed using Odin reboot into recovery and flash the superuser.zip then you'll have Rooted Stock ICS Firmware or if you want you could just skip flashing superuser.zip and just flash a custom rom.
*BOOT LOOP MIGHT OCCUR*
To fix boot looping after flashing stock ICS just boot into stock or custom recovery and wipe data and cache then reboot and you're good to go.

We don't have official 4.1.2 from T-Mobile or Samsung but what we do have is custom roms which are built on Android 4.1.2 Jelly Bean, have you ever flashed a custom rom or are you new to rooting and custom roms?

ERROR 7

Hi.
I have problem ERROR 7. I try flash some ROMS, and last flash crashed and write ERROR 7. I found some solutions, but every time you need copy some files to memory on phome. BUT.. my System doesnt start, then I have no chance to copy files to phone. When system start, every time go to recovery
How can i fix it?
PLS help Mi..
THX..

If I'm right, error 7 is an issue with the updater-script. Try redownloading the ROM, because it could be a bad download, but if it still doesn't work, switch recoveries

If you were trying to flash KitKat without CWM 6.0.4.3 or a wrong ROM for your phone you'll get this message.. It is generally due to the updater script..

Great app but this isn't an official one.
The XDA thread has been closed and there's no update on Google Play for 2 months.
I don't know if jmz still has other projects... Flashify is also a great app to directly flash the img files without a PC.

I heard that
Code:
fastboot flash recovery TWRP.img
works pretty well...

It doesn't hurt to know all the options and procedures. Actually OP would have already known this if he hadn't used a toolkit to root in the first place
-1 for toolkits
But yes, options are:
Fastboot flash img
recovery install zip
Flashify flash img

Thanks to all for the help suggestions , but yeah I used a tool kit which means I don't know how to do it manually that's why I asked for the easiest way to update .

It would be good to learn how to do it manually. It's really pretty easy. And you'll know your phone better and know how to do things yourself.

Read the comments after the guide. Not very promising.
And I don't think this is posted in the correct section.

Moved here....Thanks.

I posted it and I've successfully rooted my phone and my wife's phone via this method. Running stock rooted with xposed, greenify, adaway, and several other apps that require root.
Just trying to help out as I searched for quit some time for a quick and easy way to root 4.4.2

I used ioroot25 to successfully root my AT&T LG G2 d800 running stock ota kitkat.
Been that way for weeks.
Now, there is not, as of yet, a way to get a custom recovery on the damn thing. Not without downgrading firmware and rooting first. Basically still limited to loki support for custom recoveries.

Its not a bug. Its a lack of development
No recoveries on any snapdragon 800 device could get the correct time until we understood how the Qualcomm time daemon worked. Once we knew, it was implemented in Philz and TWRP. CWM doesn't bother implementing anything modern. Its a dead recovery.
