I have a Verizon Samsung GS4,
Model: sch-1200
Broadband Version:1200VRBME1
Build #: JZO54K.
Also, it may be a developer model as it has 'Developer Options' in the Settings menu.
My question is: can I root this phone without a pc? If so how?
Thank you ever so kindly.
FYI, for some reason every time I attempt to search my browser goes haywire. I've pored over as many posts
as I can with no luck. Need to push on. If this has already been answered, please send me the post. Again
thanks for your time.
Ok. I see some other threads, but they're not for the Verizon GS4.
Are you sure you have a galaxy s4 the model number and firmware version you listed are for a galaxy stellar. If it is a stellar you have you would be better off posting in the corresponding forum, if there is one. Also its probably not a developer model as most, if not all android phones have the option to enable developer settings.

Yes. It is a Stellar. I thought GS4 and Stellar were the same thing. Thanks for the clarification. And to that, I am in the wrong forum. Is there one for me? I will repost there if so. Thank you.
I dont think there is a sub forum for that device here. I think there is one at rootzwiki tho.

Hey thanks for the link. Unfortunately, it didn't answer my question. Have any ideas?
I checked a few guides and all of them needed a pc to do it. More often then not youll need one. Ive only had one device I didnt need a pc for and it was an acer tablet.

Dude who posted the question says he's got Verizon on a stellar. Whether it's a 1200 I don' t know, but it looks like no pc is necessary. Thanks much!
Look this thing won't let me put the darn links in. Can I send them in a private reply?

I just got my ATT note brand new on Ebay. I looked through the forums and it give bit and pieces on how to get the phone to run on T mobil network.
Can some one post exactly from the beginning on what needs to be done in detail to get a new ATT Note to work with t mobil.
Does it need to be rooted, what program ect.
Thanks

Ok so this is my second Note 2. I am not new to rooting or anything. The first note 2 I had it was really simple, this one is giving me problems. I wasn't sure what software it was on so tryed the first method for unlocking the bootloader. And now Im getting this message "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies and try again". I have tryed to restore it to stock via the methods stated in this forum http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2024207 and its failing at sbin or whatever. The phone will go back into download mode but it fails everytime I try to restore it. I am at a loss here. Please help (p.s I try the 2nd way to unlock the bootloader, seeing as how it might be on the new ota, it still didn't work. Thanks in advance!
Try flashing the alternate restore in Odin from imnuts thread here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2040264

Ya so I traded the first one via craigslist for a very good deal I couldn't pass up. With that being said I was not aware there was software update for the note 2 so I didn't check the software version because updates are far and few ...... Thanks for your comment douchebag it really helped! its people like you who are ruining xda. I asked a simple question, I have fixed it via trial and error.... THANK YOU dmonger11b for a solution and not a leaving a negative comment!

I don't know. Maybe sending me a PM telling me to go @#$# myself, in addition to what you said to me in quote one. All over you bricking your phone because you were too lazy or stupid to check the about phone?
I don't know, man. Your story is shaky - at best. Good luck. Heard droidstyle has a guide that will fix darn near anything. Heard it fixed an iphone once.....heard.

Well honestly some people need to get over themselves let alone "senior" members like yourself...if I knew the answer and if i was too lazy or stupid how did I figure out to come to xda and ask a simple question. Why would my story be shaky? I tryed to explain my problem as good as I could..what is the purpose of making up lies.haha If anything that would only hinder my quest to find a solution.
You didn't check to see the software version of your phone before you went and grabbed a file that modifies your phone.
Did you ever stop for a second and think "wait a min..."
Google "alternate restore xda".

Ok the first note 2 I had was so easy root and then unlock...I didn't remember exactly what I did when It came to the note 2. even though I read through the instructions this most recent time. I know especially with an expensive phone like the note 2 to be very careful. I knew eventually I would figure it out and I would get some help after reading through the many forums on xda. I took for granted how easy it was and thats why I temp. bricked my 2nd note 2. This 2nd note 2 is working fine on eclipse based on the latest ota now. Sorry for being an ass, but I was just trying to solve a frustrating problem, like the ones Im sure you have come across.
Understood. We can move on. We're good.
I believe Kintwofan will come on here shortly and say "use the alternate restore zip". I wasn't trying to humiliate you. I wanted you to remember what you did so you don't do it again. I bet you'll always check 'about phone' now, right? Very important, my friend.

Has anyone actually got a way to put a custom recovery onto the i605 verizon Samsung Galaxy note 2 yet? I Have looked and looked all over for a way to get it on my note 2 but every attempt had failed with the yellow triangle. I Have bought the app, triangle away, but it doesn't seem to work on the Verizon i605 note 2. So Please if anyone can help me figure this out, I would be very grateful for your help. Thank you.

You have to use adam's unlock and root method first as linked in the above post. That procedure will leave you with TWRP custom recovery on the phone.
Good luck

Yes, and don't forget to upgrade to the latest TWRP after install. You can do this using GooManager from the Play Store. :good:

Sometimes folks do not have enough current knowledge about a given subject to find the info needed. Glad you got what you needed!!
I did look, but unfortunately it was in the wrong place. When I first got onto this forum I looked in the area that did not have anything about rooting or recovery. So please before you go being all honesty as you put it. Understand that for someone who may not be as smart as yourself. It may be really easy to get turned around in here. And if I'm not mistaken. Isn't this place where people come to get help? Not sarcasm? I'm sorry if my question makes you mad or upset you because I couldn't find the answer without having to ask for help. It makes me wonder how many people got mad at you for the questions that you have asked. Anyway, to those of you that I have not upset, thank you for your help and support... As I am still learning the ways of forums.

I bought a phone on eBay to use on the Ting (Sprint) network. It is a used Samsung Galaxy S3 running Android 4.0.4 which I thought was strange as I know the S3 has been updated past this. So I started looking around and I found a program called SuperUser which has root options, then I found a file called TeamEpic-Root-from-Recovery-v5(1).zip in the root of the phone. There is a firmware update available but when I try to apply it a screen comes up which says installation aborted (I can get more info if needed on this).
I have been using Android phones for years and never been interested in rooting. I'm worried that I will not be able to activate this phone on July 8 when I can get out of my Verizon contract. And I'm concerned that I won't be able to update it past 4.0.4.
Could anyone advise how I can get this back to stock? Thanks in advance.

It says "Galaxy S III Q&A Help & Troubleshooting" at the top of the page where this post appears. So are you sure I'm in the wrong place? If I am then I apologise and I'll move it.

No worries. I wouldn't want to see anyone get the wrong advice. What's right for this model could brick yours.

First make sure the s4 box is the mdk model. Absolutely under no circumstance should you allow anyone to give you a me7 model nor let any rep activate your phone at the store. Say your corporation requires you to activate it while in their presence. Just tell'em you work for the government. Better yet say you're an auditor for the irs, no one wants to F with that. If the store doesn't have a me7 model then go to every possible location that sells vzw s4s till you find a mdk model. Alot of people have luck with best buy, I got mine at radio shack. Dont turn your phone on until you have came home and read the thread on rooting mdk or check in here for further instructions.
God speed.

You can install a custom recovery with mdk. But if youre not rooting it doesnt matter which version you get.

That's what I thought. I will defo report once I get it in 2 days.
Damn I thought I made a well thought post lol. Also you could probably make a decent profit by getting a mdk then selling it to someone who has a new me7.
P.S. For future reference, you didn't jailbreak the S3, you just rooted it. Jailbreak is for ios only and is different from root. Some people will rip you a new one for saying that. Imagine giving the answer "the millennium falcon" when asked what ship Capt. Kirk commanded...at comic-con.

It's root-able, just can't install a custom recovery and thus custom ROMs and kernels as of yet. However, a workaround is in the works that will at least allow you to flash custom ROMs that use the TW kernel. Of course, all of this only matters should you decide to root your phone.

Its been rootable for quite some time. Guides posted in the dev section. Even without custom roms you can make some decent customizations with xposed framework and the wanam module.

As of now I really don't see a reason to root.
Although the thing I like is the app that allows with root to move any app to SD.
But is it worth rooting only for this? I don't know maybe later in few months , maybe in a year
