Should I wait to root?

[Shanicenicolle]

Depends what u want to customize....if you want to customize ur homescreens, there is no need for rooting, but if u want to customize ur notification bar and other things like that, you have to root, so even if Jelly Bean came out, u still will need to root to customize those other things

This is exactly what I'm looking to do, and I know I would still have to root I'm just wondering would it be less future headache for me to wait or if it'll be relatively straightforward to upgrade once I do root and mod, don't plan on flashing any ROMS yet as far as I can tell

Well as far as I can tell ya, you might as well root if you want to do those things
The only thing I would say u would be missing is the features of 4.1.2 (Multi window feature, new gallery, more.), because AT&T is supposedly getting that update instead of 4.1.1 that everyone else gets.

Usually this means your computer doesn't have the Samsung drivers installed. Let me ask skunk (root guru in the Sprint area) if it would be okay for you to use the drivers from the Sprint rooting area since they are just the drivers for samsung in general. Brb!

Hi,

I hear you are having issues getting the computer to recognize your phone.

Here's what I would like you to try.

1. go to your computers control panel / add and remove software (win xp) or programs and features windows 7.
2. Uninstall Kies and Samsung drivers.
3. When complete, restart computer and phone.

Download these Drivers

4. Install the drivers on your computer but do not plug in your phone until it has completed.
5. plug in your phone that is already started. It should now recognize your phone and at the bottom right corner say it is installing the software for your phone. click on view details. Several drivers should load and as it progresses green checks will appear when successful.
Now you should be able to continue. Here is my guide to the root the AT&T Version. All required files and detailed instuctions can be found there. If you have any problems feel free to contact me through that thread. I am subscribed to that thread and will received notifications.
