This One-Click ODIN contains the
STOCK EL29 Modem, Kernel (CWM OPTIONAL) , and ROM for the E4GT.
The ONLY change was the addition of ROOT to the ROM. NOTHING else was changed. If you made no other changes, you WOULD be able to install an OTA patch update (based off of EL29) on top of this w/o issues.
This will
NOT trigger the Yellow Triangle
NOR will it increment the ODIN flash count.
This does
NOT have the issue with the USB jig being disabled.
I'm recommending only 1 version to use in this step as we're just rooting and want the ability to run backup apps that require ROOT such as titanium backup. So let's use:
No Data Restore, which preserves your User Data.

0) Backup anything important and
Disable any PINs
To be safe, it is best to archive your backup off your phone, ie on your PC or dropbox.
Note #1: Please
DISABLE any PIN code you may have created to protect your phone. As a security measure, after the flash, Android will ask you for your PIN, if you have one enabled. It is simpler to have no PIN active. If you forgot your PIN then, after the factory restore, just enter the wrong PIN a few times and it will warn you. Enter the wrong PIN again and it will reset the filesystem.
