Why thank you good sir
I just would like to know how many different editions are there for the 7510 because as far as I know, a change in bootloader shouldn't affect the use/flash of CWM. This isn't Apple.
He isn't doing something right..

I thought all models of the 7510 were WiFi only. Thus the difference between 7500 (Wifi + Mobile carrier) and 7510 (WiFi + No Mobile carrier)
I could be completely wrong in my thinking. So please tell me if I am. Also if I'm wrong could you point me where I can see a 7510 with a mobile carrier? Please don't say Google, I don't care enough to go searching for something I don't think exists. I guess I would search if you give me what keywords are going to yield results.

Sorry but I'm lost.
You lost me at "should I use the same command prompt"
Then again at "Fastboot flash OEM unlock"
My only advice that could be relevant is to goto the sticky in development section and follow or at least read s0ckm0nkeys guide to rooting and see if you can get where you want using or reading it.
Like I said, I'm lost so my suggestion is only a guess about what might already be posted about doing what you want/need.
Hopefully this will help, but keep us updated.
Edit: just realized I haven't re-read the whole thread so I will and if I notice anything that gets gets me UN-lost, I'll come back and post more.
Edit2: so this page is the whole post LOL so yes I'm still lost and the above suggestion of checking the sticky guide is all I can offer.

Well this is my 2 cent's WiFi or not some models come carrier locked, Verzion probably sells the WiFi and 3G model's but I'm in the dark on their product sales, They probably lock it for certain reasons, I don't really know the details.
I have a 3G 64GB 7500 and yeah it came with a locked bootloader, but as far as I know flashing a CWM should take care of that problem. Because after flashing CWM I didn't see the locked logo anymore.

Guess it's possible. Carriers do some strange things. Why they would even offer a wifi only version, besides profit from the initial sale, is beyond me. Still being wifi only, I can't see how it could be "tied" to any carrier. Even if sold by one. I mean it's wifi only, how could they "tie" it to themselves besides labeling it Verizon or whatever? I guess if you're contracted to their wifi access it could be tied to their wifi access points. Like I said they do some pretty strange things. But still it would be easily "un-tied".
From everything I have ever read or seen the 7510 is wifi only not carrier related at all and I've never read or seen a 7100 that's not sold by or "tied" to a carrier of some type. Therefore my thinking of the 7500 & 7510 difference.
Don't they both basically come with a "locked" bootloader anyway and flashing cwm unlocks them? Never seeing or hearing of the lock logo on a 7510 though.
Maybe this is where I get lost again with different terms used actually meaning the same thing or something other than what I think it means. Such as, I think wifi only means just that, wifi only, and that is what makes it a 7510 and not a 7500. If that's not the difference I wish someone would tell or show me so I could quit showing my ignorance.
I was being sincere and not trying to sound rude asking for someone to point me to somewhere that actually corrects my thinking if I'm wrong here. Because I've never seen it and am too lazy and/or stuck in my thinking to "try" to prove myself wrong.
Once again, its way past my bedtime, I'm laying here in bed trying to figure out what in actually trying to say. Probaly talking out my arse again.

As far as I know AT&T has the same with the new Sony NGP or Vita as they all it , probably because the carrier has some unlimited monthly data plan or something that can be shared of as a personal hotspot, I don't know really, one of the many marketing strategies. Could sell the Wifi version cheaper with some sort of portable internet router on a plan. The company SMART here does that, they sell you this tiny little pocket router with a 3G sim in it and there was an offer for the iPad non WiFI included.
And it's all good mate It's still very informative stuff, I haven't touched or kissed US soil in order to know what goes on with their carrier plans, I admire the fact you being updated, for someone in his prime >:]
And yeah, I think/assume it does unlock it because my tablet no longer shows the locked logo when booting it to fastboot
I there, I just flashed the stock ROM for the 3.2 Android version on my 7500 using Odin and my carrier logo was replaced by the Samsung logo. My Tab is still locked to my carrier because I decided not to unlock it yet - didnt find a cheapper carrier anyways
So simply by flashing a stock rom of a newer android version I was able to replace my carrier boot logo for the samsung one... Is this what you want?

Hi all,
I read a lot of stuff about locked bootloader and scary stories of bricked tab.
I saw the great videos from qbking about rooting and flash about odin (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1462961)
but it never mentionned locked bootloader.
I bought a retail 10.1 tab without any carrier stuff but I assume that my BL is also locked.
Is it safe to follow the root and flash process without unlocking its BL ?
Regards.

I flashed an entire new version of Android (3.2) with Odin and found no problems. Another thing, I have my Tab since November and only last week unlock it from carrier... just for fun!
Thanks viarizi !
Did you unlock your tab before flashing your 3.2 image ?
Regards.
Actualy I unlocked it from carrier 3 weeks after flashing new droid version.
First I unrooted it, then flashed new droid version with Odin, finaly unlock it from carrier using a regular Samsung phone unlocker software (unfortunely I dont know which one just that it had roms for almost all Samsung phones).
Can someone please explain if the bootloader is locked or not (if you don't see the unlocked padlock)? I don't get how we can manipulate the kernel if they're locked... Are they (kernels) getting replaced, or is something else happening to them when I flash a ROM (ie. pershoot's CM9)? Also, is there a method to unlock the GT-P7510 bootloader if it is locked? Would fastboot work?
Sorry for confusing you, I've just read so many different things about the bootloader I'm lost now!
I just rooted a SGH-T959 phone with superoneclick,sucess,Can this "one click root" apply to galaxy tabs? all of the eventually?? Like revoulutionary to the 10.1 tabs?? I know,I sound lazy...
I just bought a note 2 off of swappa that is completely stock and on 4.3. Since reading many post about Knox and how this bootloader is completely locked down now I contacted mobile tech videos to see if they could unlock, root, and put custom recovery on this phone with the knox 4.3 update... They replied YES!!! Their guy emailed me back saying that they do have a service for downgrading, rooting, and cutom recovery install...I'm not sure about people with the knox already flagged or other circumstances. You would have to email and check...but for 30$ in my stock 4.3 locked situation this seems like my only option to install custom rooms and recovery. I haven't done it yet. I will be within a couple days. But I have used their service before on a droid dna unlock with no issues. We shall see. Just though some of you might like to have the info to contact them for yourselves.
Please update us on the results when you do get it back. I'd take a fee if I could get it unlocked.

Yes I will update...not sure if they are going to downgrade then unlock it or if they have the ability to unlock 4.3. but the guy said they have what it takes to unlock, root, install custom recovery, and custom rom different samsung phones on the 4.3 knoxed bootloader.

Color me skeptical. Optimistic, but skeptical.
What is Mobile Tech Videos' reputation? And is this something generally possible with JTAG?

Hmmmm; I had emailed them also, and the reply I got back was, "At this time, there are no options for unlocking the bootloader if on 4.3."
I also mentioned it was the verizon 4.3 OTA.
SUCCESS!!!!!!!
so i just got my phone back and it was a Success. MobileTech was able to downgrade my stock 4.3 note2 back to 4.1.2 stock, unlock it, install cmw,and root the phone.(no knox tripped or unofficial software flags shown). when i turned the phone on it wanted to download the 4.3 ota again so i freaked out, because usually my rooted phones dont try to ota update. so i odined it with the kies 4.1.2+ pit. took it back to locked stock 4.1.2, and then ran casual to reunlock/root/recovery-Success again...(meaning we can go back to clean stock if need be). It wanted to ota again so i just froze the SDM 1.0 apk with titanium back up. Josh from mobile tech said this will be a new service for our phones and will be charging 60-80$ for the service. email them/him if you have any ????s....He also warned me that even after jtagging if we take the 4.3 ota its back to locked with knox. But I am back to installing roms again and very pleased.

I know this wasn't my issues, but just to recommend Mobile Tech and their great and fast service. I hard bricked my phone and had to send it in to get jtag and they were nice, answered questions and quick with their service. Its nice because they are located about a 1 hour away from me. If they say they can do it I would believe them.
Had anybody else been able to confirm this? It seems that there are a lot of threads about people being bummed about their phones that have 4.3 them. This could be their solution.

This is a repost because I saw someone preaching about the MobileTechVideos again. I have spent a vast amount of research and hands on technical work on downgrading
From: VRUEMJ9 4.3
To: VRALJB 4.1.1
And it possible. The problem isn't downgrading the ROM, it's the bootloader, it consistently stays at a 4.3 Bootloader while the ROM is at 4.1.1. Your post looks more like a promotion/advertisement, therefore I ask you Steurer1, can MobileTechVideos:
1) Downgrade the bootloader
2) Unlock the bootloader
3) Load a custom recovery (CWM, Philz, TWRP).......
4) Furthermore installing a custom rom?
From your post, you acknowledged this, so assuming MobileTechVideos can accomplish all this, then these guys are gurus and I will happily send them my phone, tuck my tail between my legs, and hats off to them! Taking it a step further, this is what fellow techies really want: If we could please get a technical post by MobileTechVideos here on XDA describing the process that they used to perform the four requirements above. This would be the most beneficial post that the rest of the Note II SCH-I605 4.3 community could really appreciate. Awaiting a follow up Steurer1.

Well, looking at their site, you can see they are not going to do steps 2-4. That is up to you when you get your phone back. They are only going to downgrade the bootloader from the non-unlockable 4.3 version to the unlockable 4.1.2.
And I have no vested interest in the company and have never used their services, but by all indications that are a reputable business. Their name comes up constantly for unbricking devices.
Also, given that they currently have the market cornered on the service, I truly can't imagine they would release all the technical details on how they are doing it. They have a monetary interest to not let it get out, in fact. Just my two cents.

I have a galaxy note 2 gt-n7105 and running 4.3 with knox tripped at 0X1. everybody telling me you cant downgrade. I can only downgrade to 4.1.2 using a backup using clockworkmod. but the funny thing is using odin I can flash 4.1.1 I don't have a clue why no other older firmware cant be flushed using odin but I can flash 4.1.1 so Sguitari your telling me I am running 4.1.1 but still using the 4.3 locked bootloader ????????? CAN SOMEBODY SHED SOME LIGHT ON THIS. THANKS
worked for me
I didnt have the Knox issue but I did have a hard bricked NOTE 2. My jig didnt work and there was no life to the phone at all, but then I saw mobile tech videos site and sent in my device. My NOTE 2 was returned with in the stated time frame (I did not request rush service as this is not my primary device) and in perfect working condition. They are very easy to work with and have an excellent level of communication. An additional USB cable that I ordered was not in the return envelope but upon sending a polite email to Josh it was sent to me the next day. I would highly recommend mobile tech for any problem that you are not able to fix yourself.

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!

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

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.

Not working for the Note Edge Retail Edition yet... but all they need is a donor with a Note Edge Developer Edition to step forward to volunteer some files. I'm posting here to raise awareness and find a Note Edge Dev Edition owner to step forward.
The bootloader unlock is *very* device-specific. They need files from a Developer Edition of the Device (so, only Verizon) so that they can duplicate the CID and aboot partitions (which are signed per the CID). It's not a "general" unlock exploit by any means... so the Note 4 unlock doesn't not necessitate a Note Edge unlock. If someone donates their CID and aboot partitions from a Note Edge Developer Edition (they're out there somewhere), then they can easily generate an unlock method for the Note Edge Retail Edition. (I just confirmed this with one of the devs of the N4 exploit)
One of the setbacks they had with the Note 4 was finding one that had the *latest* bootloader installed, since Samsung only released the Dev Edition with the original bootloader, and never updated it. (There's no OTA) So... the only users with newer BLs were the ones that had accidentally locked their phone with a retail OTA and had to have Samsung unlock it again. I volunteered the info from my Note 4 Dev Edition, but it was still on the original bootloader release.
I've actually contacted a user that has/had a Note Edge DE to see if he would volunteer the necessary files. Spread the word... we're looking for people with Note Edge Developer Editions to volunteer some files.

The bootloader unlock is *very* device-specific. They need files from a Developer Edition of the Device (so, only Verizon) so that they can duplicate the CID and aboot partitions (which are signed per the CID). It's not a "general" unlock exploit by any means... so the Note 4 unlock doesn't not necessitate a Note Edge unlock. If someone donates their CID and aboot partitions from a Note Edge Developer Edition (they're out there somewhere), then they can easily generate an unlock method for the Note Edge Retail Edition. (I just confirmed this with one of the devs of the N4 exploit)
One of the setbacks they had with the Note 4 was finding one that had the *latest* bootloader installed, since Samsung only released the Dev Edition with the original bootloader, and never updated it.

I know, right? Im about to spaz out. I keep checking all over diff forums thinkin maybe ill miss it when it gets posted.
I hope that if anybodys heard anything from npjohnson theyll give word. Does he need me to buy him a coffee? It comes with an extra shot of espresso
OH MY GOODNESS <insert little girl squeal sound>!
I thought this day would never come. I've been out of the loop a long time and had given up.
I do not have the dev edition but if there is any testing needed on the retail version please let me know. I'm familiar with ADB, rooting, recovery and filing insurance claims if needed
I would just love to see this happen.
Npjohnson's been working on it. Hes probably been up all night. Ill keep checking back today...
Fingers crossed
Any news?

None as of yet. I'm as excited as you guys and I have the DevEd. I wish it were as easy as flashing one of my recoveries and my aboot and cid, then you would already be SuperSu'ed & BusyBox'ed. If we haven't heard word soon, I'll contact npjohnson.

I was just wondering did anybody with a Developer Edition of this phone get to firmware 5.0.1 and still have the Bootloader unlocked?

OTA’s the developer edition device’s bootloader will get locked if Samsung upgrades the bootloader in upcoming firmware.

sorry for such a simple question but I need expert and/or experienced advise.
I have a samsung galaxy S4 AT&T I337 Ver 5.0.1 firmware OK2.
Out of contract
I want to rid myself of the bloatware, my principal objective.
I worry about not getting security updates once rooted, (even though at&t is not quick about doing updates anyway). Do I just track the forums here to look for updates? Will i have to go back to kitkat for every update?
And second I have a mac air computer, so odin may not be easily done without ready access to a pc., and maybe not at all. I understand I have to odin back to 4.4.4 and then update with a rooted rom. I haven't found recent experiences using jodin on this particular device, and the jodin posts I found indicate it doesn't flash a large file. I don't know if I would be doing that or not.
Thanks for your all's opinion.
Do you play Pokemon go, then no, else of course root it!
AT&T phones have locked bootloaders, thus no root.

I see talk of locked bootloaders and then I see this thread about getting to root on OK2 http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s4-att/general/how-to-installed-custom-lollipop-rom-t3135396
Can you explain please.
