I NOR ANYONE ELSE BUT YOURSELF IS RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DAMAGES, LOSS, OR ANYTHING ELSE THAT MAY RESULTS FROM FOLLOWING THE INSTRUCTIONS, OR USING ANYTHING FOUND ON THIS PAGE ----USE AT YOUR OWN RISK----
FACTORY FIRMWARE (IN CASE OF SOFT-BRICK) ---CREDIT--- eclipsedarkmoon
This will only work with Heimdall- https://github.com/Benjamin-Dobell/Heimdall/downloads
-Download Heimdall 1.31
-Download Factory Firmware - http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=35489258
-Open Heimdall, click Drivers, zadig.exe
-Put phone in Download Mode--Power off, Hold volume down button, Plug in USB connected to computer, Hit volume up when prompted
-zadig.exe menu, List all devices, Choose Samsung USB composite device (or similar) from list, Press Install Drivers (if you receive a message about being unable to verify the publisher of the driver click "Install this driver software anyway". Your computer may also need to restart for this).
-Now open heimdall-frontend.exe, on the Load Package (main page) select Browse from Heimdall firmware package, Select the Factory Firmware you downloaded earlier (it will take a minute while Heimdall extracts it), Once extracted press Load / Customise in the bottom right corner (this takes you to the Flash page),--- Select FACTORYFS in the box on the right labeled Partitions(Files), DO NOT TOUCH ANYTHING ELSE- MAKE SURE REPARTITION AND NO REBOOT ARE---- NOT----- CHECKED.... Press Start in the bottom right corner. (It will take a few minutes to load everything do not touch your computer or the phone during any of this, after the phone re-boots it may take a few minutes to load back up leave it alone until it has fully started up and at the home screen).
-Hopefully it has been brought back from the Dead.

ROOT
-Download and install Samsung Drivers- http://www.samsung.com/us/support/owners/product/SGH-S959ZKATFN
-Download Odin 1.85- View attachment 1605837
-Download DD_01232012.tar (it's the top one) From here Courtesy Entropy512- http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=18129028
-Download SuperOneClick- http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=8532790
-Put your phone in Download Mode --Power off, Hold volume down button, Plug in USB connected to computer, Hit volume up when prompted
-Open Odin folder, Click Odin3 v1.85.exe, With your phone connected the box under ID:COM should be yellow (if it's not you missed a step earlier), Click PDA, Select the (DD_01232012.tar) file you downloaded earlier, DO NOT TOUCH ANYTHING ELSE- MAKE SURE AUTO REBOOT AND F. RESET TIME ARE THE ----ONLY----- THINGS CHECKED----- AND RE-PARTITION AND FLASH LOCK ARE ----NOT---- CHECKED....., Press Start (It will take a few minutes to load everything do not touch your computer or the phone during any of this, after the phone re-boots it may take a few minutes to load back up leave it alone until it has fully started up and at the home screen). You should get a green PASS message in the top box. (installing this custom kernel WILL give you the YELLOW TRIANGLE boot screen, we can get rid of that later if it bothers you)
-Open SuperOneClick folder, on the phone go to Setting- Applications click Unknown sources- then Development click USB debugging, Connect the phone to the computer, Click on the runme.bat in the SuperOneClick folder (I used the one from DOOMLORD EASY ROOTING TOOLKIT- http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=18805532 SuperOneClick may be a little different, if it is follow their instructions on the page) , ----Follow the instructions on the pop-up window.
-CONGRATULATIONS you should now have root.
More to come.......
