Your comprehensive guide to rooting the NC5 and fixing it if/when something goes wrong
To start out I found it very time consuming to find the 'right' information on rooting the NC5 or that it wasn't possible. So I went on the mission to see if i get what was out in the wild to work.
Well I figured it out and I hope this helps!
Step One: Charge your phone! In the event we need to use Odin to fix a boot-loop/soft-brick.
Step Two: Check your version number. As the title suggests this method is only for Verizon Galaxy S4 NC5!
(ENABLE USB DEBUGGING AND UNKNOWN SOURCES IN SETTINGS BEFORE PROCEEDING)
Step Three: Time to download the tools we will need to get this done. Place these files on your SD card. This is the only time you will need your computer. CLICK IT> ONE STOP SHOP
Towel Root: Okay, this is version 1 of the app. I know there are newer versions but they don't work and this does so use it. Select and install. Open the app and select 'make it rain', your phone will reboot and base root has been achieved!
Super User: Select and install. Open the app and install the SU binary at the prompt. The app will also ask to disable KNOX, if you do the app might hang. Home button out and try again after a reboot. Eventually it will work though a bit funky at times.
Safe Strap: Select and install. Open the app and select 'install recovery'. After it installs reboot to the recovery by selecting 'reboot to recovery'. When the recovery loads select the backup option and make a backup!
This is our recovery and allows nandroid backups(you should have done this) and flashing of safestrap ROMs. The bootloader is locked on this phone so no flashing of CM11 or any custom kernels. Do some research before you start flashing things!
Well that was easy! Now you have a rooted and safestrapped NC5 S4!
FAQ\INFO
This recovery is BETA and does not support ROM slots. Everything must be done on the STOCK slot. MAKE A BACKUP!
Nandroid backup and restore is working completely with this recovery!
If you remove Samsung Hub auto rotation will break. Attached is the library file that fixes this. Extract libgnustl_shared.so from the attached zip. Copy and paste to System\Lib and change permission to rw-r--r--. I use Root Explorer, though not free is a very good file manager. There are free alternatives on Google Play.
CREDITS DUE!
HASHCODES< Safe Strap!
CHAINFIRE< Super SU!
GEOHOT< Towel Root!
Thank you for your work. But I have a few major points to address with this:
1. There is a newer, stable SAFESTRAP out (3.75), this one also supports ROM slots, and doesn't corrupt the Non-HLOS Partition.
2. Version 3 of TowelRoot is out, and alot more stable/clean than Version 1.
3. SAFESTRAP really should be installed after busybox is installed, which you did not recommend.
The Samsung Hub Auto Rotation bug is a very nice find though! Thank you for that.
Hey thank you! I will update accordingly.
However TowelRootv3 would not root my phone. I tried changing the strings, the app just states the phone isn't supported.

Hi guys, I am new to Android and just got my GT 10.1, 3G+Wifi version. I done a few readings online and I really feel that rooting is way better to use the tab compared to non-rooted android devices. I would like to make sure of the steps before I start rooting and overclock it. If I have write or describe something wrong, I will appreciate it if you are able to guide me
So now my GT’s stock ROM is the original Honeycomb 3.1, without TouchWiz. I would like to root it first of all [Sorry I copy & paste, thanks original author!]
“How To: Root Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 [Easy Way]
Step1: Download the Zip file Here
Step2: From adb, run the following command (without quotes) “adb push allidoiswin.zip /sdcard/allidoiswin.zip”
Step3: Now punch in “adb reboot recovery”
Step4: Now simply flash the Zip file which you put via Adb, that’s it after running zip file your Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 will be fully rooted now get superuser access.”
[It’s that easy right? Not the older long steps that I have to do with nvflash ADX Mode or such?]
After I have rooted my tab. I guess it is best to backup my stock ROM beforehand?
Step 1: Download and install free ROM Manager app from the Android Market
Step 2: Launch ROM Manger and tap “Backup Current ROM”.
[Question, where will my backup-ed ROM will be located?]
To overclock my GT 10.1 device
Step 1: Download the 1.4Ghz kernal
Step 2: Using ROM Manger reboot your device into ClockworkMod Recovery
Step 3: Tap “Install zip from /sdcard” and choose the zip file you just recently downloaded
Step 4: Reboot your device
Step 5: Purchase and download the setCPU Android app (only costs about the same as a cup of coffee)
Step 6: Using any free file manager app unzip and install setCPU
[I believe I will use openup set CPU, make it to 1.4Ghz and change the setting to “Performance”, my tab will run at 1.4Ghz. If I am to unroot and return the product, it will best be de-clock it by sliding the speed back to 1.0 Ghz. Just that easy, am I right?]
Last but not least, ROM, I believe is like an OS for Galaxy tab? I heard Overclock + Starburst ROM gives the tab really a huge boost?
From "http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1197776"
Am I able to backup my apps (Android market + cracked ones) from Stock and re-install all of them back in the Starburst ROM?
As the installation stats that I will need to do a factory reset of my Tab.
I wonder if anything goes wrong, is there anyway to recover? I was/am an IOS user but super newbie to Android.
I appreciate all the help and advices you have.
Best regards, cheers & thanks!

Ok my friend, Im going to refer you here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1171089 its the sticky in the android development section of this forum. I don't have the 3g device but it looks like you don't need to Odin flash clockwork mod recovery in order to flash .zip files (someone with a 3g tab can correct me on this if I'm wrong.) The root method that is outline in this thread is much easier than the way you have described using adb (you need to have the android SDK development platform installed to use the adb interface.) Make sure to visit this thread and follow the directions for the 3g p7500 model. Also ask questions there too that's what it's for.
I'm almost certain Starburst ROM is not available for the 3g tablet, there is a ROM called Broodcomb. All this info is also in the sticky thread I linked. If your going to use pershoots kernel to overclock keep in mind that kernels are experimental and overclcoking 'on our tab is not entirely necessary depending on your needs. Be sure to read through that kernel's thread and its entirety. (i know its a lot of reading but reading is your friend.)
You can back up your apps using Titanium backup an app that requires root. You can also back up your entire tab using the backup restore function in Clockwork Mod recovery.
Hope this helps.
Thanks!
I was reading too but I missed the 3G and 4G version.

Good luck mate! Feel free to pm if you have questions. I'm no dev yet but I'd be glad to help in any way possible.
hie again. I tried to send you PM but I think I am unable to do so. Message didnt appear in 'Sent'. I paste what I was going to send to you again right here.
Thanks for offering help.
I am about to root my GT but I would like to re-assure with you
I am running on retail 3G version so I would have to follow the 3g version of rooting.
--------------------------------------------
RETAIL 3G
[GTP7500] >>> New!!!
1. Download this Root.zip file to your tablet and move it to root directory of tablet storage. (you can also download on comp. then transfer to tablet)
2. Reboot tab and go into recovery mode and apply the root.zip you just downloaded.
3. Then reboot
rooted already
For CWM
1. After rooting download and install Rom Manager from market.
2. open Rom Manager app and have it install clockwork Mod to your device, you should see your device listed within Rom manager.
3. Done.
----------------------------------------------
I am sorry but what's CWM?
I believe I can root my tab, download Titanium BackUp to backup all my apps?
I can backup my Stock rom using ROm manager I believe?
Oh and, after reading all over, I believe I can just OC my tab but stays on the same ROM?
Cheers and a million thanks!
CWM is ClockWorkMod Recovery

OK, yes flash the root.zip then install Clockwork Mod Recovery (CWR) via Rom manager app. Then reboot into recovery using the Rom manager app. This will allow you to make a backup of your entire tab manually ( i prefer to so it manualy rather than through rom mangager. Rebboot recovery and use the volume rocker to navigate up and down and the power button to select. (this is explained in detail in the sticky section of development thread) select backup and restore>backup This will make a flashable backup you can restore using the restore function the same way you made a backup. You flash zip files by choosing the option "install .zip from SD card."
Titanium backup is an app used to back up user apps so you can restore them should you ever have to wipe data.
You can overclock by installing a kernel (such as pershoots) that allows for you to scale up the processor. You do this with an app called SETCPU. YOu do not need a custom rom to flash this kernel.
Hope this helps.
Greetings everyone!
New *registered* user here! I've been frantically sifting through post after post on the forums all night hoping to get some help with an issue I am having on my Vibrant.
Goal:
Remove some bloatware ONLY, not looking to install any ROMs or modify the phone too much...just clean some annoying apps and icons off.
Phone Information:
Model SGH-T959
Firmware 2.2
Baseband T959UVKB5
Kernel 2.6.32.9
Build FROYO.UVKB5
I currently have the latest version of Java, Android SDK, and SuperOneClick installed.
Install directory of AndroidSDK:
C:\AndroidSDK
My method of failure:
Open SuperOneClick, Click "Root"
Start, Run, "CMD"
cd c:\AndroidSDK\tools
adb shell
mount -o rw,remount /dev/block/st19/system
This is where it fails and I run into an endless loop of it telling me the proper usage of the "mount" command. I thought I had it at one point but when I typed: rm /system/AmazonMp3.apk all it did was tell me that it was a read-only file and that it couldn't be deleted.
Can someone help lead me in the right direction of what I am doing wrong? I rooted and removed all bloatware about a year ago but I just did an upgrade through MiniKies to the latest version of firmware and I can't seem to remember the process I went through that long ago to get it done right.
I apologize for possibly asking a question that has been asked numerous times but I just couldn't seem to get the wording right to get any helpful results in the search of the forums. Thank you so much for the time in reading this and the future help if any can be provided. Have a great night!!!
It looks like you are in the wrong directory. Open a command prompt in
C:\AndroidSDK\platform-tools
Open the platform tools folder. Click on a blank space > hold down the shift key > hit right click > select open command window here. Then enter the commands:
adb devices "to check if your device is connected. also make sure usb debugging is enabled on your phone.
adb remount
adb shell
su
mount -o remount,rw -t rfs /dev/stl5 /system
rm -r /system/app/[AppName].apk
If you want a list of all your /system/apps enter this command
cd /system/app
ls *.apk
This is much easier if you download rom toolbox from the market. All you do is go to /system/app and delete whatever bloatware you dont want.
BUT BE EXTREMELY CAREFUL WHEN DELETING SYSTEM APPS. ONLY DELETE WHAT YOU KNOW IS BLOATWARE OTHERWISE YOU WILL GET FC'S
good luck
Would I still need to follow the steps prior to that and use SuperOneClick to root the device or do I just skip that process and go straight to the cmd prompt?
Also, I followed a tutorial I found for installing the Android SDK that informed me to copy all the files from android-tools to the tools directory and use that instead but I don't know what the use in that is except for maybe a smaller directory name?
EDIT: I tried what you said with and with using SuperOneClick prior to the procedure and the cmd prompt displayed the following text:
*opened cmd promt in C:\AndroidSDK\tools (no files in platform-tools anymore)*
adb devices (it found my device connected)
adb remount (adb remount: no such file or directory exists)
The adb shell and su commands works fine BUT I still hit the endless loop of it trying to explain to me the "usage" of the mount command.
I will look into Rom toolbox as I'm trying to figure this out as well. Thank you.
I strongly recommend you download root explorer or some similar root browser app. Of course though your phone must be rooted. Just try rom toolbox. It has its own root browser within the app along with other useful features. This is probably the easiest way to uninstall the bloatware in your case since you are having issues with adb.

Thank you!
Okay, I have the suggested "rom toolbox" downloaded from the market and I will try to use that but SuperOneClick does not root the phone deep enough for rom toolbox to see the phone as rooted so...will the "updated.zip" method work for this instead?
I haven't tried it before but I am willing to give it a go if you think it's the best method. If this is the method you recommend, would you happen to have a link to the most recent or atleast most trusted updated.zip rooting method?

So I downloaded the one click program you suggested and the program itself seems to bee pretty straight forward.
I connected phone to computer with debugging on. Opened program and hit one click root. It started doing it's thing...phone rebooted and went into recovery. I started to follow instructions up until I got to where it said install packages. When I clicked it, the phone said installation failed no such file our directory exists.
The phone is looking for the updated.zip file but none exists in the one click folder. There is a root.zip and an unroot.zip...do I need to rename one of them to proceed???
Thank you so much for all the help so far, I feel like I'm so close but just not there yet. You have been an incredible help!

The way (Stock) Recovery works is if you are not "Install from SD" then it will look for the file labeled Update.zip. So you can rename only the Root.zip to Update.zip and make sure that is the only thing on your internal SD labeled that or with .zip Put the unroot.zip in a folder for now. Then try again.
Alright, will give that a try when I get home. I thought I read that the program copied the update.zip file to the phone during it's process so I didn't want to do anything to work against that. I will rename one of the files, copy it to the phone and give the one click root another shot. Thank you!

There is no need to rename anything. The program does it all for you. Play close attention to the first screen (green one) if it says update.zip copied successfully it will then reboot your phone to stock recovery. Once you are in stock recovery all you do is click reinstall packages. Keep clicking reinstall packages even if it reboots the first time. To prove my point mount your phone to your pc and check to see if the update.zip is copied onto the root of your into storage. If not well copy the update.zip from the last guide i suggested from above.
Also check to see if the superuser app is installed on your phone. The program also installs that along with the update.zip. If you have superuser then go to the market download rom manager so you could download CWM.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using XDA
Alright, so I tried it again once I got home. Didn't work BUT I did see that update.zip was installed into my phone. The sig verification failed, which means I need to change recovery versions to the one that skips sig verification correct?
I'll go search the forums for that since I remember seeing that a little while ago but that is the correct path I need to take at this point in time am I right?
Thank you so much! Big big help!
You can pull the CWR from my signature. Same as before. Put it on your internal labeled update.zip, boot into recovery and and scroll down to Reinstall Packages. Hit it. It will cycle and probably come back to stock recovery. Hit Reinstall Packages again and the stock recovery will go from blue to green (CWR).
Side note, probably from there you will be able to install the Superuser update.zip. Just go to Install from SD card and find it and hit it. The reboot. Might not but the CWR instructions above shoudl work for you.
Well I changed the recovery version using the file from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=833423 and then used the OneClickRoot and was able to get the update installed (I think). The phone booted up normally, I noticed that SU Permissions was installed so I figure I am rooted correct? WRONG. Rom toolbox says I am not. Is there another way to verify? Should I reinstall Rom toolbox incase it's just bugging out on me?
So I tried using Rom Manager too. Looks as tho SU is not installed correctly, will have to try again I guess.
Cannot install CWR, tried and the recovery text stays blue even after 14 times of reinstalling packages...
This phone will be sent flying across the room sometime tonight I'm guessing. About to erase the entire thing and try starting from scratch again. (Start from Eclair and work my way up maybe)
If you are willing to start from Eclair it would be soooo much easier that all this stuff.
Odin to stock, flash CWR from my signature, go from blue to green and then flash Fishman's Bionix and you are good to go. Simple and way easier than all this mess. Just download Fish's and put it on you SD card somewhere you'll remember. Once in green recovery just scroll to that ROM and flash it per OP.
We've just been trying to Root you since on your OP you said you didn't want to flash a custom ROM.
Well...I'm still trying to avoid flashing Roms (I've upgraded through MiniKies and that's it).
I've only been trying to root just to clean bloatware off but it seems that I must be lacking the technical skills to follow instrcutions properly....nothing is cooperating and even after following all steps nothing wants to work like it should.
Grrrr! One last try to get CWR working before I lose my mind and need to take a break/walk away for a bit.
Ok, so I'm currently back to stock Eclair (ew!!) and about to boot to recovery to install CWR. Wish me luck on that one....
Wooo, CWR up and running! Now I just have to work on a flash maybe or whatever steps were suggested next...I might try the ROM you suggested.
The ROM gets placed on external sdcard and installed from within CWR correct?
Do most ROMs remove bloatware and useless apps?
Yes and are pre-Rooted. Put the ROM.zip on either card. I have a folder that I use. Boot into recovery and get green recovery back. Go to install from SD, find the ROM and flash it per the OP instructions.
Bloat free, pre-Rooted and usually has Voodoo so you can get Voodoo Sound from the market and have a sonic ear-gasm.
Just wanted to say thanks for all the help! I installed the suggested ROM last night and I am very happy with the results thus far. It was alot easier than I thought it would be. Flashing a ROM was MUCH more simpler than the root only decision. Thank you again!
I am looking for any help or information on rooting visual land prestige elite 10q please help

Root (& install SuperSu) AND install Xposed Framework w/o TWRP/CWM/a custom recovery
Visual Land Prestige Elite 10 QL
I have a Visual Land Prestige Elite 10QL tablet. I spend two days trying to root/get SuperSu to install/get a custom recovery so that I could install a ROM or Xposed Framework. I had a very hard time, but with A LOT of research... I found the below information.
Rooted with Kingroot
Added Super Su, but would not install properly. If you root with Kingroot and want to use Super Su as your superuser instead of Kingroot's, I found the fix. Install Super Sume , which will delete the Kingroot files (but will not unroot the phone) and will replace with the Super Su files.
Then get this!!! Because TWRP and CWM custom recoveries are not compatible with VL PE 10ql tablets, I could not use them to flash a custom ROM or install Xposed Framework.
But, I found a fix!
You CAN install Xposed Framework without TWRP/CWM custom recovery.
I did a Nandroid backup using Titanium Backup and saved to SD card, although it is brand new and I could just do a factory reset if it screwed up. I don't recommend going to the next step before doing a Nandroid backup. (google it)
Use FlashFire to flash Xposed Framework directly w/o custom recovery.
Download the latest derivative version of Xposed for Lollipop (Android 5.0 or 5.1) by romracer. You need two files, the Xposed installer apk and the Framework flashable zip. Read about it and get the files here: Xposed Files Please Read Their Q&A to make sure you get the correct files!
1. Install the Flashfire app
2. Open The FlashFire app, then grant superuser when requested.
3. Tap the plus (+) button at the bottom to show the menu.
4. Choose “Flash ZIP or OTA” menu, and keep the “Auto-mount” option unchecked then tap checkmark icon to continue.
5. Tap the EverRoot menu, and ensure every single options remains unchecked.
6. Leave the Reboot menu to normal to boot system after flash.
7. Just hit the "Flash" button to start the process.
8. You will get a blank screen, then display the contents of your system just before it start the flash procedure. Don't freak out! Your device will reboot and it may take awhile.
9. Find the Xposed Module Management APK file (download file or system files), open it, follow the directions
10. Start customizing by installing modules from the repository!
Thanks to Robbie S www.andromods.com for contributing much of directions for installation
I have been relentlessly trying to fix the drivers that couldn't install, even when I installed it. So I have finally found a fix tinkering with my system folder. I will be posting a guide + the fix so scroll down to the appropriate section! I understand that other people posted the guide but I wanted to share my own way of doing it
Pre requisite s:
Busy box
Root (non systemless because it didn't work for me on systemless)
={ GUIDE }=
1) Install Viper4Android either from other posts or from the download links below which is a flashable zip with a dark theme
2) Download SELinuxEnforcing from the download link below and install it, THERE WILL BE A WARNING FOR SOME THAY IT CAN HARM THE SYSTEM, PRESS READ MORE OR SIMILAR AND PRESS INSTALL ANYWAY. THE APP WAS JUST REMOVED FROM PLAY STORE AND THIS HAS NO HARM THAT IT CAN INFLICT!
3)Go to SELinuxEnforcing and accept root permission then press on the permissive button.
4) Download root browser from the Play Store created by JRummy.
5) Alright ready for the fun part, reboot into Recovery mode TWRP
Decrypt your device( if you have it encrypted)
6) Press install and locate to the area that this v4a zip is located ( mostly /sdcard/downloads)
6) Press and install the zip
Reboot into device
7) Go into viper4android and install the driver
8) Reboot and after if you DO not see any installed driver, move on to the FIX section!
_——_
Pre requisites[FIX] + pre installed by you :
Busybox[GUIDE]
Root[GUIDE]
SELinuxEnforcing[GUIDE]
Root Browser
={ FIX }=
Got Root? Anyway, looks like its still saying Driver not Installed even though you installed it.
1) Now there's a very easy fix. Given that you have root browser following on from the guide or sliding through to this section taking a look at the pre requisites, go into it.
2) You will now be welcomed with a lot of folders. Locate to
system then vendor then etc then you will see audio_effects.conf that is interrupting the drivers.
3) What you want to do now is to long press it, which will pop up with various options, press rename and change .conf to .bak which will disable the configuration script but keeping it backed up for if anything that goes wrong.
4) Reboot and voila! Your drivers should say neon activated and etc.
