I just purchased a SCH-i545l from Bluegrass Cellular here in Kentucky. Bluegrass is a regional company that works off of their own LTE towers as well as Verizon's Nationwide towers. I love this phone, however, I am lost with it when it comes to rooting it or any types of software modifications because of its small supply and demand. Can anyone help?

What the build number in settings->about phone? If it's the same or similar to Verizon I'm sure the same rooting method would work for you.

Same with me as well. I've asked around, seems like its not a very common phone (since being an off brand version) to be rooting at this moment.

I am hoping this is just too new at the moment. I wish I knew someone in service who could leak me the stock files. Then I could flash some vzw kernels and still be able to restore stock if it didn't work.

It's a very new variant of the phone, it was wi-fi verified at the end of July and it only popped up earlier this month...
Sadly it looks like the phone has a different base version (MG6) and hopefully something similar is released when 4.3 arrives in October.
Waiting game at this point....

You can download the source code for this phone from the samsung open source site. Would be a great place to start.
Click here to get to main page, then look for SCH-I545L NA
is it possible to extract the kernel from the open source zip file? if so can i be told how to or can someone download the SCH-I545L source and extract kernel then post it for us?
would appreciate very much if someone downloaded the source and compiled a kernel for myself and others looking for it. need the stock kernel to root our devices, i personally dont have a linux-based computer or the ability to have one, so any help would be appreciated

Kernel and Platform are already separated inside the file I posted the link too. It also includes read me files for each on how to compile them. I would download it and play around with it for a bit.
I have access to Linux. I am busy lately but I will download this a play with it when i get a chance. I have another idea and I'm wondering if there are any obvious flaws so here it is. Before compiling the system partition, add 'su' to '/bin'. Then to have root the only thing we need to do is Odin/ Heimdall the modified system partition. Although I have compiled software for Linux I have never compiled Android before so does anyone see a fatal flaw with that plan?
well i tried but couldnt figure it out. im not really dev-savvy. so if anyone wants to download the sch-i545L source to compile a kernel and possibly even inject root or make it easier to root (if possible?..) i would donate to the cause. im sure us with the 545L variants would appreciate a helping hand
I've downloaded the source from samsung and now I'm downloading the 4.2.2 base. Wish me luck lol. I've never built android before but it doesn't look too much different from any other source code so far.

Good Luck! There seem to be quite a few of us out there with this device that would really appreciate root/rom support!
If you get a rooted rom or a kernel for us please share! I'm sure if we had a kernel we could flash roms then kernel, or flash vzw s4 kernel for root methods and then flash back. Kernel would be the optimal provision

Kernel Crossing
I have compiled a kernel using the Samsung source and the running kernel configuration from my i545L. I have not tested it but I have no reason to believe that it is any different than the kernel running on my phone. I am not sure when I will get around to testing it but if anyone tries it please post back here.
I have not located a pit file yet.
Link to stock compiled kernel - Odin format:
http://d-h.st/tcl
I don't know how to disable root block so that the motochopper root method will work again but that is something I will be looking into.
And finally the necessary un-pleasantries... I am not responsible for anything you do to your phone and I don't provide any warranty with this kernel.
I will test it later

Hi everyone,
Just got my AT&T Galaxy Note, about to Root it, Overclock/Undervolt, etc.
Does anyone know if there's a stock ROM for it floating about, that would make it a hair easier, if not, away we go! Will start a new thread as soon as things are ready, it will probably be an Odin Kernel flash root so note that it will trigger the custom binary counter in Odin, although no ones run into problems with that yet that I know of..
Hope you figure out how to root 2.3.6
So far, no one has figured out how to root the international version (LA4)
if they update via kies without downgrading, rooting, upgrading via ODIN.
Glad to see you over here.
Really quiet in here. Hopefully some action for the Rogers I717R Note also.
no luck.. no root..

That was the phone that got me on the android bandwagon. If he can root this, I will donate $100 simply because I've had the phone for 5 hours and am sick of the bloat already.
I can supply a dump but thats about it!

You should be able to get a stock firmware of any Samsung phone by using CheckFUS
Download "check fus" from the market and run it on your phone. Note the exact model number, Product Code, PDA, CSC, PHONE values.
Then open on your computer Checkfus you downloaded from the website i linked above,
1) click advanced tab
2) chose OS as Android
3) Model SGH-i717
4) Product Code, copy from your phone's check fus app
5) Hidswver: copy the PDA/CSC/PHONE/PDA info from the check fus on your phone
Click the check firmware button and it should let you download the most recent firmware for your phone.
I don't have the phone but this worked for just about any Samsung phone i had, including AT&T models.
If someone can provide me the product code and relevant information using check fus i would appreciate it as i am trying to download a stock rom
I want to adapt it for use in the korean rom

Hello. My local carrier (Bluegrass Cellular) is a rural partner with verizon. Just got the SCH-I545L S4 variant. I am trying to find a way to root or flash roms on it, just using motochopper without odin kernel flashing doesnt work (unsure of any compatible kernel and idk how to get the stock for this phone) though i find the kernel and build number are different. I am not very android developer savvy so *any* help on what to do or what can be done with my phone would be greatly appreciated. I attached a screenshot with about device screen information.

I just picked up an i545L from my local carrier - cellcom(WI) and the good news is that it is the same build. I tried motochopper and it failed so it seems we need to flash a pre-release kernel and then flash back to stock kernel. Unfortunately, i have yet to find either for this build. Perhaps it is too new and someone will root soon? I am wondering if the newest VZW pre-release kernel and stock kernel would work since VZW is behind both software versions.
I would like to find the stock kernel for this model, I'm unsure if a vzw would mess with my cell service

Hello, I have a Galaxy S4 developers edition stock with version 4.2.2. I have never rooted it or changed the ROM in any way. Yet for some reason I have yet to get a single update from Verizon or Samsung ... Everything I am reading says I should have 4.4 by now .. At least 4.3... Is there a reason why I am not getting update.

Developers Editions don't receive updates. I guess they assume that anyone with a Dev Edition will ROM it.
Hello silver7x,
I noticed your post saying that you have a Dev s4. As you may know there are people trying to unlock the bootloader for the retail version of the s4. Would you be willing to take 5-10 minutes to help them out by sending a copy of your aboot to: Surge1223 ?
We would all greatly appreciate your help. If you need help figuring out how to do so, check out his thread for unlocking the bootloader. Or send him a PM labeled "S4 Dev aboot"
Thank you!

There's no Stock KitKat ROM for the Verizon phone at the moment. You'll have to wait until VZ releases 4.4.2.

Another Question
Anyone care to verify that this is legit and works to root the Verizon Note II 4.4.2? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GBP1Ql7wck4 . I see that there is the ability to download the root file for the VZW Note II on 4.4.2. I will do some more research. If anyone tries it please report your findings. Thanks.
My guess is no. Anything you find on rooting or flashing recovery is highly unlikely to work on the vzw note 2. Thanks for nothing, verizon.

I'm in the same situation, and I'd just like to rattle the bars of this jail cell VZW has put us Note II 4.4.2 OTA folks in. The SD card write lock is a ridiculous overreach in the name of "security."
I hear that. I don't know about anyone else's phone but after I updated to ND7 my phones been buggy. Fails on sending texts and general locking up. I've factory reset it twice and have 2.7gb available on the internal storage. Come on somebody!
Sent from my SCH-I605 using XDA Free mobile app
In the same boat here. Bought used, already updated. I didn't think there was an [upper class] Android device right now that couldn't be modified, so I didn't know to research first... I just came to the threads right before buying and saw the dev was booming so figured I was good.
Did VZ drop the ball here or are all carriers having this issues with the Note 2?
Root unavailable?
So basically I can't root the phone? I want to be able to use some apps that require root, is there a way to root without messing with the bootloader or not? Mobilodin maybe? I also have that 4.4.2 OTA nightmare. Thanks

Boo-tloader
Anyone devised a way to unlock this god forsaken bootloader? Verizon has overstepped their bounds imho. No 3rd party write access to sd? That's just ridiculous. Also, cyanogenmod would be great, but safestrap doesn't work now. Anyone have anything in the works? I would be willing to test anything available. I'm running I605VRUFND7 on the KOT49H kernel, and have plenty of experience with Odin, so no worries over bricking at the moment. Also, there is still a bounty out for anyone that can unlock it. Not so much a fortune, but imagine the fame? Thanks in advance.

Samsung has Released Android 5.1.1 Lollipop For the Galaxy Noted Edge "Sprint variant"
THIS WILL ONLY WORK WITH "NOTE EDGE FOR SPRINT"
How To Install:
1. Download the stock 5.1.1 firmware from here: https://mega.nz/#!StEHUJpS!5D20VK0KeW3fk383Q1LJoQ5zyqES6ta1xiwH3jaRBmU
2. And Okay... hmmm I'm pretty sure all of you know how to flash a stock rom using odin
Why not screenshots??
Because I don't own a Note Edge Unfortunately
There isn't much of a visual change from 5.0 really... Except for the contacts app.
Sent from my SM-N915P using Tapatalk
But it will fix a lot of bad flashes
Amen brother like my bad flash lol
Same rooting method once installed?
No
Would i have any problems if i odin this on a rooted Edge? I dont care abot root anymore since no one is supporting the sprint edge anyways.
Just odin over 5.0 or do i have to odin factory k.k than odin lollipop and than this ? TIA.
Odin over then wipe in Stock recovery
killer! I luvs it - finally getting that annoying default text tone - never sounded so good!
So has anyone found a way to root this file yet?
can wait for a rooted one, we really dont have many devs though, sucks cause this phone rocks
So whats different between 5.0.1 and this, is it worth me losing root and hoping to get it back in the future
Any word on whether this can be rooted?
CF Auto Root worked for 5.0.1. I wonder if it will work for 5.1.1. I'm tempted to try it....

Well, I don't need to try it, I found that it cannot be done because Samsung added root protection to the kernel. This post and related thread is from Note 4, which I'm sure is the same situation for the Edge:

I am confident that we will achieve root. That is not the issue for me. I am waiting around for Xposed to support TW 5.1.1. Until then, I will use other methods to mitigate Stagefright. With ongoing security patches, I'd imagine that there will be plenty of people who can take the upldate.zip and repackage it to be flahable via custom recovery.
