Ok here it is,
Im reading and reading about the rooting.
I tryed to synch my tab with kies to root my tab following this THREAD but it doesnt work
So I posted about it and someone suggested me to check the LOOK HERE THREAD instead
I have a p7500 16gb 4G(well in fact 3G++) and wi-fi (p7500ruxkh4)
Im in canada (quebec province) and am with rogers
data plan, locked sim
honeycomb 3.1
kernel is 2.6.36.3
Now i want to use some apps like titanium backup and some others that need a rooted tab and thats it. I dont want to change kernel or rom or whatever else.
In the LOOK HERE THREAD, there is 2 different P7500 rooting method, one for the 3G and one for the 4G.
On my box and in my "task bar" its says 4G but for what i know, its more 3G++ than real 4G, So WICH one of the tuto do i follow ?
Also, at http://www.samfirmware.com/ i cant find the stock firmware for my p7500ruxkh4
That mean that if i do wrong, i wont be able to recover as brand new. Any clues of where to find it ?
Now about CMW and Odin, since i just want to root, do i have to dl thoses programs ?
Also in the UNROOT tutorial, you guys talk about the filesfordummies, but for what i read, this file is for the p7510 and not for my p7500 right?
So if i want to UNROOT my P7500, what are the proper steps to follow ?
I know, theses are probably noob questions but after searching on the net and this forum, I couldnt find any clear anwsers so i think i should ask you guys first instead of trying and brick my tab.
There is 5 bold/underline questions. I hope some of you have all the anwsers.
Thanks in advance for your help
1. IMPORTANT: in the look here thread use the root package for the 3G model
the 4G/LTE version will cause your system to bootloop
2. DO A NANDROID backup of your stock install -- then you have that to go back to.
3. Team Overcome have a great guide and package: stock for restore and clean purposes, CWM for root usage and a very nice custom rom: see here
4. if you want a custom kernel, there is one by Pershoot and the modification by rego here which plays nice with Overcome and matches your 7500 very well.

thanks but just like i stated before, all i want is to ROOT the tab.
I was wondering if you backed up your Stock Firmware? I am using some Europe firmware as of now because I was one of the unlucky who used the 4G unlock.

well, i rooted my tab and used rom manager to backup my actual rom. i dont know if it can help u.
another thing, i changed the hosts file in /system/etc/hosts to avoid ads in games or app.
since im not rally used to all this stuff, tell me if there is something i can do for you, and if so, ill help with pleasure
If you backed it up just after you rooted it should be okay, I should be able to load your Backup to get my rom back to normal and then Factory Reset to get it all cleaned off. Let me know if there is a way you can email or dropbox it to me in a pm.
It would be awesome!
check ur pm, if it work, just click thanks
Thanks alot. I'll click thanks and personally write a thank you note.
Just so you know you're likely to be asked to help other Canadians as well. As the firmware is apparently hard to come buy.

perhaps upload the base firmware in the version you have from your nandroid backup to multiupload or mediafire and then just post the link??

Sorry it took so long for me to reply. Yes the file worked. Although your stuff was backed up on it as well. I just wiped after the first startup.

you have to register to dl the p7500 firmware
dunno if its the one for canada, but you can send an email to the address refered in the post i gave you to ask the admin if he knows where to get it, and then, i guess you can tell us if you found it and where.
Hey guys I asked Bell Mobility about an official upgrade for the Galaxy s2. But, I got nothing from them. They just told me to either contact Samsung or to contact a phone number they gave me. But I'm almost positive everyone else I call will give me similar replys. So if you guys know anything please post!!
I wouldn't bother waiting for Bell to push an update.

Darn... well I tried to flash my s2 but problems occured (such as application error forcing me to leave the application and a pop-up would show, or random shut downs). This made me to flash back to the stock Bell firmware, but even after that there seems to be some problems and also the bootloader logo is now changed to a i-9100 logo instead of a i9100m logo. Please help. I did follow all the instructions that were given in the threads to flash but I guess I messed something up.... Any ideas?

If you want logo back then flash bell kernel and I do a full wipe. Your i9000m will be back. Actually if you had followed flashing instructions properly you would not have problems with 2.3.5 or 2.3.6 either.
You obviously need to learn more but here is a free tip. Don't even dream sending it for service to bell with i9000 logo! Or any traces of flashing. You would be better of if it was dead. That is unless you like to pay for out of warranty repairs.

Yep I tried everything.
1) download the firmware I want to use.
2) check kies and all of its applications are closed
3) turn phone off
4) take sim and memory card out
5) get it to download mode and insert usb
6) turn on odin and input all the downloaded files
7) start the odin program
8) once everything is downloaded and loading is complete on the sgs2 take the usb port out
9) finished!
These are the procedures I take.
Anything missing or should I correct?
And also, how do you change the bootloader?
PLEASE HELP.
And what other ways can Samsung detect that I flashed???

Do a factory reset. Then flash the orignal Bell firmware, kernel, modem and CSC. Downloads are listed in this thread. If you want to send it in for repair then you will then need to buy a $5 USB jig off ebay to reset the custom ROM counter before sending in for repair.

Hey guys Long time creeper first time poster.
Anyways i picked up a galaxy note yesterday that was bricked for about $175. The guy had soft bricked it recovery and download were still accessible so i simply used odin to reinstall stock rogers from Da_G's thread. The guy said he bricked it because he had a JB rom on there and wanted to go back to stock but odin froze and thats how the system bricked.
Anyways right now i have the system working and running Stock ICS from Rogers. The current issue i am facing is that there is some sort of issue with the signal. The device jumps between Virgin mobile(my provide) and emergency only. Constantly i cannot get a reliable signal on the phone. Calls constantly fail and messages rarely send.
I have tried flashing the stock radio for rogers from Da_G's thread as well but no luck. The apn is correct and ive tried turning LTE off, no success at all. Does anyone in the community have any suggestions this is a really frustrating problem!
Thanks

Flash another ROM on it. And keep in mind, it was sold to you as a brick. Maybe it also had the radio issue before you got it.
You did the ICS update via OTA?
Im downloading this rom now "UCLF6 Base Rom Featuring
The Unofficial FJ-Mod Build #11
"RISE UP!""
Will try it and see if it makes any difference.

You need to install your default original samsung rom that you have the first time you got the phone.Install it and it should work fine.I did that.

That's the point, I don't have the original ROM. I was following the tutorial and had NOT realised I wasn't making a backup and I don't think the original author even realized the it would happen that the Canadian ROM would be one of the very few which couldn't be found if things got screwed-up.

First try to get on the tutorial, from this sequence:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1416190
1.1 We need to install a boot-loader as the Samsung one is very limited and just plain awful! That said, it wasn’t intended to be used for anything other than the Samsung software so it’s not awful from their point of view but it’s pretty unfriendly to us.
To this
2.4 If you are new to use ClockworkMod recovery manager then before doing anything, please have a look at next screen to learn the navigation keys.
If this works, than we will talk what to do next.
Try different official rom, maybe it will work, you don't have anything to lose.

I don't think it's actually the ROM which is the problem but the "baseband". Twice I followed the tutorial and everything worked until it came time to restart the phone. At which time it went into the loop.

Hmm try searching for a "fastboot" method, i really don't know what should be a problem, im not an expert in this :/.Ill try to help you tomorrow again .
Is there such a thing as a fastboot for the Galaxy 5 i5500
I'm getting a little mixed-up and feeling a bit MORE stupid - what's the difference between the ROM and the baseband. Can one copy ROM or baseband from a working phone onto another?

In my attempts to root this device my boot was damaged. I can get into stock recovery and download mod but of course I can not find any roms including the stock for this device. Can someone PLEASE send me there boot.img. If you have the full stock rom for this model SM-G360T1, that would be awesome too. THX!

Ok so I should have more faith in myself. So by the end of my nightmare I messed up my boot AND my recovery and could only get into download mode. On a hunch I got ahold of the stock rom for the SM-G360T which is the T-Mobile version of this phone and being as they run on the same network(Same company now) the boot.img and recovery.img WORK ON THIS MODEL. Im back in my phone and everything is running perfect. So for those out there that know WAY more about making roots and roms you might be able to use this stock rom to finally root this monster. Or at least if you soft brick your device you can use these files to get back into your phone until we are able to get the stock rom for this phone. The link to the stock rom for the SM-G360T is below. Hope we get a root for this phone soon. THX!
Im a noob poster on Xda so I cant link it but just go to sammobile.com and search for SM-G360T and make sure you sign up and activate ur account its free you just have to do that or the download link is broke. Have fun.
Did you have to do any unlocking?

Ya bro I did the extact same thing with the H root. Just put the boot.img in a tar and flash it like u did the H and it will fix it. You might get a security message after but u can just go to Kies and update back to stock if you dont mind losing all your data. Cheers.
The whole rom isn't tested

I extracted just the boot.img and made my own tar to flash just the kernel, which was the problem. Flashing the whole rom isn't what you need to do in this case. Just make a mental note that you can you use the boot.img and recovery.img to get back into android.
Hello this is androidadmirer
i recently bought a samsung galaxy core prime from metro pcs

but i need some input from you all to see if i'm wrong or if this is possible
so my plan is to use odin to flash the samsung core sm-360hu version firmware and they have a working twrp recovery
then make a rom with the t mobile firmware and insert su in bin and xbin (the t mobile firmware works perfect because it's the same network and same android 5.1.1 o.s
this sounds really good in theory but i don't know if i am totally right
can someone chime in on this please

then make a rom with the t mobile firmware and insert su in bin and xbin (the t mobile firmware works perfect because it's the same network and same android 5.1.1 o.s
this sounds really good in theory but i don't know if i am totally right
can someone chime in on this please
any help will be very appriciated

Let me know if that custom recovery works if not u can use the sm-g360t (t-mobile) to get back though if I remember right the phone has to be rooted for twrp to work right not sure....also you should be able to get the stock rom from smart switch if you force the update that way you have the rom that was made for it as a base...I will try and get the rom and post it I was just checking and there is an update. Let me know

im gonna try and flash the galaxy grand prime rom and then use odin to flash a recovery on it because its only 4.4.4 so my thought was to flash the "downgraded 4.4.4" then flash the twrp and then make a rom from the t mobile odin firmware
where is the link? thanks

Ok so I should have more faith in myself. So by the end of my nightmare I messed up my boot AND my recovery and could only get into download mode. On a hunch I got ahold of the stock rom for the SM-G360T which is the T-Mobile version of this phone and being as they run on the same network(Same company now) the boot.img and recovery.img WORK ON THIS MODEL. Im back in my phone and everything is running perfect. So for those out there that know WAY more about making roots and roms you might be able to use this stock rom to finally root this monster. Or at least if you soft brick your device you can use these files to get back into your phone until we are able to get the stock rom for this phone. The link to the stock rom for the SM-G360T is below. Hope we get a root for this phone soon. THX!
Im a noob poster on Xda so I cant link it but just go to sammobile.com and search for SM-G360T and make sure you sign up and activate ur account its free you just have to do that or the download link is broke. Have fun.

SM-G360T1 "boot.img" And "recovery.img" Files
I just uploaded the "boot.img" and "recovery.img" from the latest stock update for the SM-G360T1 on this thread here if anyone needs it in the future.

EDIT: Updated this post today with ODIN flashable boot and recovery files. Be sure to read the whole post before flashing. Thanks!
I tried the F, H, & "lte" versions firmware, still no positive results, I keep having to flash back to the stock boot.img and recovery.img that bogarty has just linked above.... we need to find a way to unlock this bootloader on this devicez firmware... TWRP seems so close to working.
Huh?

Ok so Unlocking the Phone for use on other carriers is not the same as unlocking the bootloader. thank fully our bootloader is not locked... But it is always a good idea to completely free your device.. SO
As long as you own your device out-right and it was purchased >90 days ago, then Metro cant say no.
This post is just for those that don't already know, (make sure you do this first before you flash a recovery or try a root method)
The Samsung Galaxy Core Prime comes locked from Metropcs by default. But after you buy it and its yours..
just call them @ (+1-888-8METRO8) or (1-888-863-8768)
1. Ask for tech support
2. Ask for the unlock code,
3. Tell them you leaving the carrier.. or the country.. and they will give you the unlock codes (plural 2 codes one for the Device and the other for the Sim card if you say your leaving the country).
4. Put in the code and your good to go..
PS... Its your device.. Bought and payed for...... They really can't say NO..........

so i did the root on my phone.... Can i still unlock my phone?
send from hdx 7 using tapatalk
I didnt found a way to unlock my sm-g360t1, i made the root and tryed several boxes that told me "device unlocked" but wasnt true. Have to pay 24 bucks online to whitelist imei and unlock it trought the device unlock app. I flashed the stock rom from sammobile before but maybe works with the rooted phone too. Problem solved for me
so i got the frp message. odin flashed stock recovery and boot now it gets stuck on the metro pcs screen..... FML can anyone help me fix this problem ?
I had to flash the stock from sammobile SM-G360T1 is what you have to search for then start over but make sure the oem unlock is switched to in that causes the frp (factory reset protection)
