Hi All,
I searched and searched, but can't figure out how to identify the bootloader. I bought this gtab off of craigslist and it has already been rooted to VEGAn-TAB-v1.0.0B5.1
I want to install VEGAn-GE-7.0.0-RC1, but I before I do I want to be sure I'm on the right bootloader. Any Idea how to Identify the bootloader after the Gtablet has already been rooted?
Go to Settings, About Tablet & look at Tap UI Version. If it starts with 1.1, you're on 1.1 the bootloader (b/l). If it starts with 1.2, you're on the 1.2 b/l.
Thanks for the response! I tried that before, but I dont seem to have a Tap UI Version because I am presently rooted and have the VEGAn-TAB-v1.0.0B5.1 installed. It gives me a build number, kernal version and Model number

Google "Gtablet for dummies", it's hte only place you'll need ot look for just about anything. under start here, there is a drop down, wiht a "rom" entry, click on that and there is a convenient table that illustrates what roms are available and on what bootloaders.

I second this.
The tutorials on that site are second to none.
You will probably end up nvflashing back to a stock version anyway.
"I second this.

Ditto that, before you try to flash any other ROM. do a clean flash
using the Bl 1.2 with CWM.
I've searched XDA and a few other forums, as well as Google, and I've found a number of threads discussing this issue, but at least I cannot figure how to return my rooted LTE Tab 10.1 to out of the box unrooted state. I've found how to unbrick due to flashing the incorrect CWR to the LTE Tab, and I've seen requests for return to stock, but nothing conclusive.
I may be totally blind and overlooked the info. Thanks in advance.

Yeah, I found that and read and re-read it, but as best as I can tell, with regard to the LTE Tab, it only talks about rooting.
I've been unable to find the OEM LTE 3.1 ROM or what I am certain is the stock recovery. In Post 14 of this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1205639 thread, is a link to what appears to be the stock recovery, but I'm uncertain of the instructions that accompany it.
I think I need the stock ROM since a new kernel was flashed in the rooting process, as well as stock recovery.
I'm also looking for this. I can't believe there isn't a single stock odin file kicking around anywhere.

This thread is useless for what is needed. We need a fully stock odin file that includes kernel/recovery/radio/system etc...
I had to do this same thing when I returned my GalaxyTab LTE tablet that was rooted due to Newtons Rings, I used superoneclick and unrooted it with literally a click of the button. Super easy and worked perfectly link is here:

Thanks for the link. I'll try this to see if it changes anything, but my real issue is that my radio stopped working completely after flashing this. Everything else works perfectly. I don't really understand why it happened...the only thing i can think of is i need the stock radio or a full stock rom in order to fix it.

Thank you,
Thanks for the unlock code tips.
I do have a newbie question though how does having an unlocked boot device help?
What added control or access, do we get by unlocking it? Please advise.
Thanks

In order to install a custom ROM, you must first unlock your bootloader. There is a version of CM11 in development for the HAM2 that everyone is waiting for with baited breath. If you unlock your bootloader now, you will be able to install this custom CM11 ROM once it is released.

Thanks for clarification. Is the available custom ROM still on 4.3 or KItkat or Lollypop?
Also does the device have to be boot unlocked if I have a consumer cellular version and want to flash the factory unlocked flash on it?

CM11 is based on Kit Kat 4.4. There should be a CM12 ROM later on, which is based on Lollipop 5.0. You must have root access and an unlocked bootloader to install any custom ROM, regardless of where you purchased the phone.
I'm not sure who was the first to post the information about emailing Huawei and getting an unlock code. Who ever it was, thank you. It was an extremely easy process. I emailed them my IMEI and S/N, and i got an email back with my unlock code the next day.
This forum is great
Also thank you to whomever is working on the CM 11 and CM 12 roms.
Can't wait to fool around with new roms, even though the stock rom is actually incredibly stable, and smooth, and i pretty much have no complaints about it.

You can check this G+ post to see some updates on the status of CM11/12 for our phone. He doesn't really post that much, but hey, the wait will be worth it!

Some tips from other users have been to send it around the evening EST (if you're in America at least) and just keep doing it until they reply.
It sucks that you have to email them but at least they do give out the codes.

I sent 3 emails before they replied with the code. In fact, I even asked them if they can give out the network unlock code of the consumer cellular and they replied with an apologetic 'no'; all that in a span of about 3 hours.

Ive been trying to get a response from them. Its been 2 weeks now i think and havent heard from them. Ive sent like 10 emails already. Im closing to giving up and sell this phone. Ill give them about 2 more weeks.
You are lucky it only took you 3 emails before u get a reply.
First right now is Chinese holiday season, so their response maybe slow.
2nd, check the other thread, 'progress of rooting', right now there is a new method to use fake prod id to retrieve code from their website directly.

I just got my Samsung Galaxy mega 2 sm-g750a and I can't find any info on rooting it I'm running ubuntu 14.04 on my desktop so any info or links will help thanks
I also got the same model sm-g750a. Locked bootloader and no one else on xda has one. Laugh.
I think we would have to use a safestrap method or something. But without having a rooted room to load with safestrap I don't think it will do is any good.
I like the size of this phone to fit my packet in my carpenter jeans better then the Mega 6.3.
the only fix I know right now, that I will like, is to buy a sm-g750f that has a unlocked bootloader. I may not get 4g data but 3g is fine as long as I can get root and have unlocked bootloader. Buying a sm-g750f version $300 then selling my sm-g750a version $250 I wI'll be out $50 bucks, no big deal.
Nobody on here will help
I've tried and try to get help but everyone is to good on here I think I'm going to look at other sites
Got it just now
I just now used KingRoot-4.0.0.233.apk just now on my sm-g750 [email protected] phone and I now have root also. I searched fo kingRoot-4.0.0.233.apk the first result showed something about king root on fire something phone. A little way down the thread I found the download. No computer I am sitting here at work I ran it and now have root. I searched for weeks to root this phone.
It worked
So it worked no pc

Just to be clear. No pc needed. It does work on Samsung Galaxy Mega 2 sm-750a the AT&T version that has the locked bootloader baseband and build number ending in ANL1 android version 4.4.4 . I have been searching for 2 weeks and was ready to trade in my phone. But now that I have root I am keeping it. I love xda and I am glad I could finally help someone and myself too.

What baseband/build number are you on. Are you on 4.4.4?
I am on build NL1 with android 4.4.4 .
Also have you ever accepted the security policy update?
My phone was always asking me to update the security policy and I kept saying no.
I couldn't disable the nag until yesterday when I finally got root.
I now have all updates disabled thanks to titanium backup, that only now works since I now have root.
I wonder if the difference is that you may have accepted the security policy update.
It worked right away "about 3 minutes" on my mega 2 on 4.4.4 kit kat.
I tried it on my daughter's s4 that she updated to 5.0 before I had a chance to root it with towel root. It failed to root her 5.0 lollipop.
I guess this is for kit Kat but not lollipop.
I'm running
I'm on 4.4.4
Build number KTU
Yes I took the security update but I unistalled it let me try again
No luck
That still didn't work I'm about to give up on this phone

Here is what you can do now that you have root, go to the link below for the things I have done so far.
Add Titanium Backup to remove Bloatware.
Freeze system updates so they don't take away or root later.
Add hotspot to share your phones Internet with other devices for free.
I just wrote this new thread/post, so we can get others together to continue with more development on our currently unsupported Galaxy Mega 2.

This did the trick for me. Unfortunately it look like there still isn't any custom recoveries or roms. We're stuck with rooted stock, but guess that's better than nothing.w.androidpot.net/download/kingroot-apk-lates
As someone living in the USA and using T-Mobile as a provider, is there a significant difference between the XQ-CQ54 and XQ-CQ72 models? If so, which one should I go with?
I will not be using the XQ-CQ62 (US version) because the bootloader cannot be unlocked and I would like to use a custom ROM.
You can unlock the bootloader on 62 but it cost about 20 bucks..its a recent hack ... Xda isnt allowing guides with money involved so that's why theres none posted here.
Other then that i think 54 version aka european is way better then chinese 72. Just for esim alone

would love to hear about your experience with the tool
I have the US version and found out the hard way that its bootloader can't be unlocked. I've always had a rooted phone, BUT I would say this phone has everything that I want and need. And Android 13 now has features that I used root phones to get. On the flip side, I have seen people that have the 1 iv US version and they've used the mentioned tool, and were able to change the no to a yes. As long as Sony keeps pumping out updates, I'm good for now on stock, but I may revisit the tool if updates stop.
