Hello Friends
Could someone please guide me how to root and unlock Bell Galaxy Tab 10.1 4G?
I searched the forums and there are few guides available but I'm not sure it will work for my tab or not. I just don't want to brick this expensive toy.
Any help will be appreciated.
I have the same. Followed this tutorial; http://galaxytabhacks.com/galaxy-tab-10-1-hacks/how-to-root-galaxy-tab-10-1/
this thread here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1171089
you follow the section on Retail 3G to root
although your Bell model says 4G it is 3G+ to the rest of the world and not the 4g or LTE model in xda world
do a nandrod backup first
add cwm
flash either updated stock KI2 rom or Overcome 1.2.3 and you are good to go.
Couple of other new roms posted now, couple more under development. Couple of custom kernels: both work well.
Again, use 7500 and retail 3G versions, not the "wifi" only or 7510 versions and you will be fine.

At the thread everyone keeps linking for stock ROMs, http://http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1113928 there are NO US stock ROM's, let alone for my carrier, T-Mobile.
What's up with that?
Also, when I try to dial the *#1234# it from that post, my phone says Unable to Process Request, so I can't do that to help find the right ROM.
None of the US carriers use the original I9100 hardware, so they have their own ROMs and their own forums. For example, the Galaxy S 4G forums are for T-Mobile USA's variant of the Galaxy S II; you should be able to find ROMs there that will work on that device.
Got it thanks!
Hi,
I have just purchased a Galaxy Note with LTE. Its a relatively new model here an it carries the model no. Samsung GT-N7005.
My Million $$ question is, I have read from the N7000 thread that this is the same as I717 in terms of rooting and flashing of roms..
Anyone can confirm? Thanks lots in advance.
From Singapore.

Yes, they are similar but don't dare flash a ROM for the international note N7000 on the i717
Well.. I read it here.

Use caution ....
And you may have baseband issues that cannot be corrected later ...
Root and flash at own risk, as there is no current support from the I717 side of the house ....g
Yeah.. thats why I asked first..
Initially I was reading up on the N7000 and then at the shop I saw this "newer" model and heck it comes with LTE. So, bam! I bought it, and it was cheaper...
Then the thought of rooting and flashing came to me.. <facepalm>
My shop doesnt come with a refund policy either..
Dare to try out a N7005 stock rom in i717. Not rooted. Able to flash all the way to the modem, where it fails. Reboot and reset, and now I have a functioning Hong Kong version of i717 with baseband still a I717UCLF6. Everything seems to work except update, and seems like HK version doesn't have NFC.
Put pta back to APN and it registered as "4G". Checked with status and it says "LTE: 14". Phone seems to be much faster and tethering seems to work too (at least I can turn on, but haven't tried other things).
Dear All,
I have been facing an issue of slow gprs on my Samsung Galaxy S3 SHV-E210K due to edge network and HSDPA network not being shown while gprs is connected(instead, G and 3G are shown). The speed has dropped to as low as 1/6 of the original (which I get on my Nokia C5 phone).
I have a strong feeling that if I convert this korean version of Galaxy S3, I will be able to solve the problem. Please help me converting it completely to international version like Galaxy S3 I9305 because the configuration is exactly the same.
I dont know how to root, how to install custom rom, where can they be found. But a step by step guide will surely help me a great deal. I have heard that this is the best site for all the android forums. Please post the complete solution as soon as possible.

It's very simple just install a custom recovery (ClockWorkMod Recovery) build your own rom with android kitchen using original rom from i9300 and boot.img from galaxy shv-e210k. that's it.

@kasingy: I was able to convert it successfully to i9300 using HD Revolution ROM for SHV -E210K but the problem of slow gprs persists. the data sign show G in place of E in INDIA. I think it is due to only 900Hz frequency available in this rom where as Indian phones support 850Hz for edge network..
I have tried flashing various modem.bin files for i9300 to it but didnt get signals.
What to do please help. Will be very very grateful to you!
One more thing, if you are able to solve this, many Indian customers of SHV-E210k could get relief!!
Is it posible?
Is converting to the international version even possible??
Does anybody have the Canada Bell version of the Alpha? Can you root it?
Also, does anybody know if CanadaGSM.ca is a legitimate website? I see they sell unlocked version of the Bell Alpha.

Hi, I've got a Galaxy Alpha (SM-G850W) from Virgin Mobile. Unfortunately there wasn't any information if my phone would be bricked or not after rooting since the baseband version on chainfire's website is Videotron.
My Phone :
SM-G850W
sltecan
msm8974
KTU84P.G850WVLU1ANI4 (Virgin Mobile Baseband Version)
4.4.4
Description on Chainfire's Web Site:
SM-G850W
sltecan
msm8974
KTU84P.G850WVLU1ANJ4 (Videotron baseband version)
4.4.4
So I had to try and...
I was able to successfully root with Chainfire's CF-Auto-Root!
So yes it's probably rootable
And keep in mind i'm not responsable if you brick your phone.
Big thanks and thumbs-up to Chainfire!

Are you in the U.S.? Any idea where I could get a virgin mobile galaxy alpha?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G850A
No, I'm french canadian.
I'd try swappa or ebay and search for devices from canada.
But i'd recommend you get one with an octacore (from europe i think).
Or you wait for the time being since there's not much developpement for this device cause sammie announced the end of the alpha.

i had one which i sold i a good price can`t root till i had and don`t know about the legitimacy of mention website. but did successfully unlocked mine from phoneunlockingshop.ca
I was tempted to order from Canada GSM even though in the USA because the Canada Bell Unlocked Phones they sell appear to have exact same Bands for Tmobile/Metro PCS in USA.
However I found a Alpha 850M which is an International Exynos with
7 LTE Bands and even has 1700 WCDMA Band ( not listed in the specs) in addition to the others that are specified.
This one definitely has a louder, fuller speaker than the AT&T Qualcomm and faster, so I assume better than
Bell Canada's Qualcomm Alpha.
The Alpha 850M is made for North,South America and the Carribean so should work well for you.
I am not sure Canada GSM is legit but if not we would have heard about it..right?
ALSO - not a Dev so you need to find out if 850M can be rooted etc.
Please how i root sm-g850w version g850wvluiani4

1) Accept the fact that you may void your warranty, brick your device and are doing this because you're brave
2) Locate SM-G850W file
3) Read instructions from start to finish
4) Read instructions AGAIN !!!
5) Go for it!

Good luck. It worked for my SM-G850W, KK 4.4.4 Canadian Bell :good:
I have not upgraded to Lollipop yet and know only what is stated here...
Worked well for the sm-g850w sltecan from Telus too. Now, there is absolutely nothing else. No recoveries, backups must be made the hard way (building your own flashable .tar file), no custom roms. That's not the ideal phone to customize. It's my ' corporate business ' phone. Rooted, but not customized.
I have a Google Nexus 5 to try anything. My Samsung tablet runs on an unofficial BlissPop rom, which is pretty cool.
It is easy to root, just be sure to use sltecan (snapdragon) and not slte (exynos) files. You' ll soft brick your phone, which is not ideal (been there, done that...)

I know older thread, but Just about to try this out. on my Telus Alpha, however, I'm currently on 5.0.2 (G850WVLU1BOD7) ...will this revert me back to a previous version, then if I update from that point will I loose root? I mainly want root, to get rid of these damn youtube ads lol.
EDIT - nevermind - worked no problems, no issues whatsoever. . If anyone has any ?? let me know
Now I can't seem to understand the whole process of installing xposed. Seems different than it used to be and reading things about deodexing etc etc. Anyone here had success?
1st post here so hope this is the right place to ask this and please be gentle
I have a Virgin Mobile UK Samsung Galaxy S3 i9300, running stock 4.3, I9300XXUGMK6
I want to install a custom OS on my S3. The phone is almost out of contract, 3 years old and is running really slowly on the stock rom with awful battery life (I have tried a new battery). I previously rooted and installed custom roms (cyanogenmod, slimkat) on an old i9000 and was blown away by the massive improvement in speed and battery life. If I get the same benefits with the i9300 then I will keep this phone and go sim-only rather than getting a new phone. The i9000 was unlocked...I guess I need to check the i9300 is too?
As far as I can tell I need to root using Odin 1.07 and Philz Touch recovery. However, I am confused about what version of S3 Virgin UK provide- I have found guides on how to root and install custom roms on Virgin S3's but they refer to models such as Sprint or SPH-L710- I'm not sure what I have, how to check or how this differs US to UK. I have searched on here and more widely and cannot find an answer to this.
Recommendations on what custom OS to install also welcomed
If it says i9300 under the battery then it it's the standard international model, you can flash anything from this forum. Carrier firmware usually add bloat and modem, you won't miss anything from it.
Unlock is by paid for code, don't try to do it free as that usually ends up with a brick, unless virgin supply unlocked handsets.
Follow the guide in general forum, sticky thread on how to flash custom recovery then custom rom. Root isn't needed if you are going to custom rom, they all come rooted.
