Bounty AT&T Galaxy Mega i527 Firmware - Samsung Galaxy Mega

Many of us on the root bounty for i527 forum are stuck because we can't find anyone with our firmware. We have exhausted every method we can think of to pull it from the phone with no success. I would like to start a bounty to anybody that can post a downloadable file of the AT&T i527 Firmware. SamMobile was not able to track it down. Please refer to the i527 root bounty thread for more details about what's been tried.

Have you tried root browser to find firmware on device

Yes the root browser only really works on rooted phones but I have looked at every sub folder as well as did a adb pull from the whole phone so far nothing.

i know this is probably a really stupid question, but i'll ask anyway. Has anybody tried plugging the phone up to a computer and tried like the mass storage type thingy?

Now that there's root for the 1527 for at&t is there a way to get the firmware download now for Odin. I bricked my mega trying to achieve root and need the Odin stock firmware for the at&t Samsung galaxy mega. Any help with an answer would be appriciated. I would rather just get the firmware download and fix it myself in three minutes instead of sending it to Samsung for repair for two weeks

I would post this in the root bounty forum. Believe you need a tar.md5 file for that. They have already pulled the files, think it's just a matter of compiling it. It may be a couple of days before we start seeing things like flashable files for odin or twrp and so on.

Heres an odin flashable zip and an update.zip created by titanium backup on my phone containing ALL apps on the phone. Also includes a racing game, zen pinball and jurassic park builder. Dont judge me, I get bored easily
The files are in my rapidshare mirror HERE: http://rapidshare.com/share/3301D942B7B1499334B91982428C46A0
To pay the bounty, PM me your amount and i'll send donation instructions. I'll also attach the odin recovery zip file to this thread, but the 'update.zip with apk's" file is too large to post here

[Q] rooting the note

Planning on picking up a note next week, I've looked at the dev page for root instructions but I can't really make heads or tails of them and all of the videos I view seems to be the international version. Can anyone confirm of root or is is a work in progress and I should just wait.
It works via odin and is really easy

Just rooted mine using the steps from:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1504218
Coming from a Dell Streak this was a whole different process but it was really easy.
Now, seems the rooting/unrooting of the European version does not makes your rom count go up (please excuse my lack of proper terminology) therefore you can return your phone to stock (ex. for a warranty claim) without Samsung knowing you have mess with the rom. Is that the same for this version and if not is that in the works? How about unrooting the phone?
Thanks.
I have yet to hear one single actual case where Samsung denied a hardware claim because of the counter. People are going root counter crazy around here. C'MON ITS XDA! This is why we are all here, right??

You have to download the file. There are links to everything you need in Da_G's root threads in the dev section. Download, extract, then browse to the file via Odin, just like you tried above.
Edit: Actually with this one you don't even need to extract it. Its already a .tar file.

[Q] How can I un brick my Note II

I have a Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II and I bricked it. I had it rooted and the boot was unlocked. However I flashed a nightly, using Oden, and when I turn it back on i get the message that there is "unauthorized software and to take it into the nearest verizon store. I can only go into download mode and recovery mode. I can't find the saved restore of the ROM I had before flashing the nightly so I can't recover it to how i had it before. :crying:

Well good point he could try a stock ROM. The problem is that with that error message you can't get into recovery so something is not adding up. I didn't notice he says he gets into recovery because again he shouldn't be able to. However it really is resist to just Odin and stay over.

[Q] Anyone know where I can get I9300XXEMG4_I9300OXAEMG4_BTU.zip ?

I'm currently trying to download from Sammobile but they host their ROMs with Hotfile.com, and I currently have a wait in excess of 7hrs - unless I pay for a membership.
Does anyone have I9300XXEMG4_I9300OXAEMG4_BTU.zip in their Dropbox or something that I can download a bit quicker? Or know where else I can find it?
Better take a back up of another similar device's ROM and flash it.
I think you can't get it anywhere except from hot file.

All firmwares are on sammobile.com

It shouldnt take 7 hrs.

I did search the forums first before posting and only came up with this thread which contains links to SamMobile and hence Hotfiles:

My current download via sammobile (and their hosting service hotfiles) is currently downloading at 25 KB/sec :-/
850 MB is going to take a looooong time, hence my posting this question.
If anyone can link me to somewhere else I can download the stated file quicker than 7hrs then I would be immensely grateful.

Samsung Mega SGH-I527 STUCK IN BOOTLOOP
Hi guys... How are you? This is the first time i have ever posted to a forum so I'm sorry if its a bit scattered...
okay i got a AT&T Mega SGH-I527 for free in its current state... so i don't know any of the info except what i can see which is :
ODIN MODE
PRODUCT NAME : SGH-I527
CURRENT BINARY: Samsung Official
SYSTEM STATUS: Official
KNOX KERNEL LOCK: 0x0
KNOX WARRANTY VOID: 0x1 <---Dose this matter if i don't care about the warranty?
CSB-CONFIG-LSB: 0x30
BOOTLOADER RP SWREV: 4
WRITE PROTECTION: Enable
its stuck in a bootloop, I can put it in download mode.
Now these steps kinda worked i think lol
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-mega/general/stock-odin-firmware-i527-4-4-2-t2835136
seam to work as far as Odin being able to access it and try to install those files i downloaded which are :
AP_I527UCUBNE7_1711751_REV01_user_low_ship_MULTI_CERT.tar.md5
BL_I527UCUBNE7_1711751_REV01_user_low_ship_MULTI_CERT.tar
CP_I527UCUBNE7_1711751_REV01_user_low_ship_MULTI_CERT.tar
CSC_ATT_I527ATTBNE7_1711751_REV01_user_low_ship_MULTI_CERT.tar
i also tried to a PIT file not sure which one it was tho file name is:
Samsung_I527_PIT.PIT <--- this is one is 4.75kb
that just tells me " SECURE CHECK FAIL: PIT
now all theses seam to take meaning they pass according to Odin but it reboots and just goes back into the bootloop...
now when i did try theses files it did something it didn't do before it gave me a little blue tag at the top saying "RECOVERY BOOT..."
then it just loops again... I'm not really sure what my question is and I'm sorry so i guess I'm just asking if anyone can tell me whats happening? do i keep trying to work it out or should i just recycle the phone? i cant help to think that there life here tho...
I know y'all have been over this a thousands of time but it all kinda mind numbing... any kinda advice would be cool thanks...

okay i tied all the files without the PIT and they all passed... but on each one after its completed and passed (Odin)
and restarts. It just goes to the Samsung galaxy mega screen (first one) then it vibrates twice and reboots again. NOTHING FAILS THO.
and suggestions for me ?
Flash each ODIN file one at a time. The AP file and the BL have a PIT built in, so you shouldn't have to manually parse it.
FYI I was able to obtain root on my SGH-I537 and I'm now trying to export that method to the SGH-i527, but it's proving to be difficult. Will keep yall posted!

The Mega other than Root is Dead.
No bootloader unlocked and No One is working on it.
I myself have moved to the Nexus 6.
I still have the Mega rooted only for the big screen but out of all the Mega forums.
and I will not see your reply because I'm will not subscribe to any Mega forum.
My advice, keep the mega rooted if you like but move out to other phone.
Tha it no more lov for the mega
i think the most important downgrading is DONT TICK REPARTITION.
becaus will make your phone hardbrick and doestn have power at all
and knock bootloader is never cant be downgrade
