Rooting an a500h - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello guys
I just replaced my i9505 with an a5 (sm-a500h) as my old phone died...
I haven't found yet any root method for this device (all I found is for the a500f) running Kitkat 4.4.4.
Attached is the screenshot with the about phone screen
Thanks in advance

Need help with unrooting can´t find any guide...

Hello guys, first of all, happy new year
Im searching for a great guide to unroot my Samsung Galaxy tab 10.1 P7510, but i can´t find a guide with a clear way to solve this or i find several guides but every guide is different, so i´m very confused what to do now.
I purchased my Galaxy Tab 10.1 P 7510 in the Netherlands, but i live in Germany and now i have to get it in the original State like i have purchased it. Im not sure which stock official rom i have to download, on samfirmware.com there are two Roms, one is dated with june and the other one with july: http://www.samfirmware.com/WEBPROTECT-p7510.htm
So which one do i need? What does csc mean ? I also saw this on the xda forums: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1167250 But he says he does not recommend it : "Pre-release TOUCHWIZ rom, not recommended!"
I rooted the tab with this method from galaxytabhacks.com : http://galaxytabhacks.com/galaxy-tab-10-1-hacks/how-to-root-galaxy-tab-10-1-the-easy-way/
But this method seems not to work i think : http://galaxytabhacks.com/galaxy-tab-10-1-hacks/how-to-unroot-your-galaxy-tab-10-1/ Many people say that they are not getting official updates andymore or cant update to touchwizz, but touchwizz was always on my tab.
Im really afraid of bricking my tablet so i need your guys help.
What i understood is that i have to install a stock rom first of all with odin or clock word mod recovery. For me personally CWM is easier, but i have no clue which Rom to install, because the roms on samfirmware.com are .rar !
And then i have to flash to original recovery with odin? How to do that?
Also many people say that they have still the superuser app after unrooting. Whats with that?
i hope you guys can help me. thanks already for reading....
Hey I unrooted as I had to send my tablet in for repairs. I flashed my nandroid backup and then used my root access to delete super user and then unrooted and used stock android recovery to reset user data etc.
Check out this link for how to unroot.
Having a nandroid aka cwm recovery backup makes it much easier.

I used this link that you said didn't work successfully. What seems to be the problem for you?
Sent from either my Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 Wifi or Motorola Atrix 4G
Thanks. But as i said on that link is only the ota rom without touwhizz and also i cant find my backuo i was sure i made one but i cant find it.
Ah this is so sick

Thanks in advance

Need Stock ROM and Recovery Image for SGH-T399.

Hello everyone,
Happy holidays.
I just got this phone from HSN, Samsung Galaxy Light model SGH-T399. Well my friend thought it was a smart idea to flash this phone for root and I was at work. So now the phone stuck on the Samsung boot screen.
I was wondering if some one who has this phone could give me the stock Recovery image and stock ROM so I could see to revert it back to working condition as when I bought it.
Thanks for your help.

Hey teddko!
Rooted my phone G7508Q (HongKong ROM) successfully by flashing CF Auto Root via Odin. But after flashing your provided TWRP recovery via Odin, my phone has stuck on Samsung logo. Now flashed the ROM back using Odin.
Kindly tell me how to unlock its bootloader? I cannot find any "OEM Unlock" kind of check box in developer options.
Please help.....
