I just acquired this mega today and I have tried every available method to root or install a recovery that I can find.
I know it can be done but I must be missing something?
Any ideas that work with this set-up?
SPH-L600 (Sprint) Galaxy mega
Android: 4.2.2
Baseband: L600vpubne4
Build: KOT49H.L600VPUBNE4
DUH! never mind!:laugh:

Hey guys,
I'm a real noob at roms, rooting etc but i followed a tutorial on Youtube which lead me to root my phone using Odin and Superoneclick. I have no idea what this did as i didn't notice a difference on my phone but now ICS is released for my Galaxy SII which is TmobileUk branded. However, when i check on Kies, it says New Firmware Is Available but when i click Firmware Upgrade button then nothing happens. When I click Firmware upgrade and initialization under tools i get the error GT-I9100 does not support initialising. When reading on forums i found out this is because of me rooting so i searched on how to unroot Galaxy S2 but everything comes up with Unroot and installing Stock Kernal etc but i am not sure if i have installed a kernal but i can remember i put XWKDD file in ODIN.
Android Version: 2.3.3
Baseband Version: I9100BOKF1
Kernal Version: 2.6.35.7-I9100XWKDD-CL161513 [email protected] #2
Build Number: GINGERBREAD.BOKF3
and i have no MOD VERSION which i fugured is for a rom.
When typing *#1234# i get these versions:
PDA: I9100BOKF3
PHONE: I9100BOKF1
CSC: I9100TMUKF1
I have read some posts and found UK Tmobile have BOKF3 etc from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1113928
but i do not know what todo with it.
Also i just installed an app called Ginger Unroot which has unrooted my phone so if i need to root or do anything can you explain please and will any of the steps wipe my phone (apps, data etc)
I really need this help
Thanks in advance

Im real desperate
What most people do one they root their phones is install ROMs based off of the official release. It's like getting the release, and guaranteeing root access. I think that's a better way. You have more freedom. Otherwise, you can upgrade and pray that Samsung doesn't release something that breaks your rooting capabilities. Check the forums for a ROM based off if the official OTA update and install that. If you have a custom recovery installed, (Which you should have if you rooted correctly) add far as I know, the update won't work.

Hey there thanks for replying Can i find out if i have a custom rom or kernal as i dont know but i did unroot by an app called Ginger Unroot and checked with basic root checker which confirmed that i no longer have root access but the error still comes up. So if an OTA Update is released, then can I download that?
Greets,
I have just purchased an Samsung Galaxy SII LTE Docomo Japanese version SC-03D.
I updated something from Samsung using Kies, Android Version 2.3.6; gingerbread.OMLG5
Baseband; SC03DOMLG5
Kernel: 2.6.35.11-SC03DOMLG5-CL1168027 [email protected] #2
This is all the info from Settings>About
I used the following One Step Rooters to no avail--didn't work.
1 DoomLord v4
Gingerbreak 1.20
Z4
SuperOneClick 2.3.3
Anyone have similar issues? Could use a hint. I don't have home based Internet available so cannot download ABD super duper SDK. Anyone have short cut version of getting into and gaining root?
So, I want to root my galaxy Mega 6.3 using this (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2355680) method, but I am unsure if it will brick my device or not.
My details are:
Baseband version: 19205XXUAMF3
Build number: JDQ39.I9205XXUAMF3
Kernel Version: 3.4.0-651213
[email protected] #1
Also, do I need to unlock my bootloader before using this method? If so, how can I do that?
Thanks in advance,
Simon

You won't brick anything. Just follow instructions and use latest Odin. Flash the rooted kernel and you're done.
I prefere You make this:

Hi
I have the galaxy mega i9200 version, I replaced its display with a non OEM display then before a while I updated to 4.4.2, then touch stopped working.
I tried many tutorial including androidreviewguy tutorial to fix touch screen issue but when I flash phils touch recovery or TWRP, touch is still not working & after flashing megafire v16 also no use, now after flashing the stock 4.4.2 again via Odin, I lost my boot screen which says Samsung galaxy mega i9200 & also download screen, the phone jumps to Samsung blue logo page automatically.
I still can enter download mode but with black screen, I hope someone has a fix for this phone and would help me fix it, thanks in advance.

mine is also made for saudi arabia and NDF3 or something like that, sorry but my touch screen is not working and i'm unable to check its details.
My phone is
model number:
SGH-i747M
android version:
4.4.2 KitKat
Basband version:
I747MVLUFOB3
Kernel Version:
3.4.0-1784548
i've tried both king root and towel root and they've not worked, due to in-availability with the device.
what do you suggest I do? flash something different? I do not have access to a computer at the moment, so kango and ODIN are out of the question.
