My phone is horribly out of date and I want to catch it up. I got lazy and haven't followed through on planned updates, and now I'm running into a lot of weirdness and crashes. I would dearly appreciate some help.

I'm still in 4.1.1, but want to get something more current, but the last stock recovery I can find is 4.2 (T889UVBMD1), and I'm not sure I'll find the right thing if I dig through the 50 pages of thread.

SGH-T889
baseband T889UVALJ1
kernel 3.031-260018
build number JRO03C.T889UVALJ1

I do want to preserve my root, if at all possible.

Thanks for helping me get started!
