Hello Guys,
Thanks to the djrbliss and the root http://cleanimport.xda/index.php?threads/2252248/ , I dumped the system files from the AT&T version and am uploading the original files so that someone can make a Pre-Rooted , Custom Rom , Recovery , etc . Let me know if the dump is full and enough or if i need to do something more.

System partition backup : Attached is the torrent, tried uploading the system image file to a file hosting site but couldn't, hence the torrent.
The factoryfs is 2.7GB , and will upload it soon.

When our devices are locked - does rooting them essentially unlock them? or is there some other step that is required? Same question for flashing a custom recovery - how or does - this effect the locked booterloader thing -
I tried doing a GOOGlE search to see if I could figure it ouit on my own and wasnt quite sure so - I thought I would ask - at the risk of looking like a dummy
thoughts?

yes it does...but if you install a custom ROM then it will have all the customizations which make the phone run faster and better than stock and other stuff which we cannot have with a stock rom.
custom recovery adds a step of protection by which you can install/backup roms and other stuff. and you can only install a custom recovery and rom if you have an unlocked bootloader.
How will you override the bootloader lock ?

Exactly why I am stumped atm, there's write protection on bootloader, I wonder if AT&T is the only S4 with this??? Can anyone confirm who has another S4 like i9505?
if the root method works, then you should be able to flash the recovery and custom kernel as long as the bootloader does not do signature checks (which some people have claimed to be true, will see). You will not be able to use ODIN,
but shouldn't matter.
Did it the "root" work for anyone else? I remember the kernel config allow full permissive root access, so we should be golden..

Yes , the root worked for everyone who tried. From browsing the thread , i seen that it worked for AT&T and SPRINT SG4's so someone should be able to make a custom kernel soon enough

THanks - I apprecaite the info
2.7GB...damn gurl dat bloat
Just another reminder to those still newly getting their S4's, remember the bootloader IS STILL LOCKED and your are pretty much stuck if anything happens to your phone while Rooted :/
Best bet just wait for the bootloader unlock, if you can't wait then I guess it sucks to be you XD
I don't even think it's gonna take long for the bootloader to get unlocked and I'm also willing to bet that someone from Samsung will probably end up releasing something helpful.

Rooting this device was such a breeze! And being able to do it the day after it arrived in the mail was just awesome. Thanks for the dump. I have been freezing the bloatware with Titanium Backup, didn't want to begin stripping things until a recovery was available and I could do a backup of the stock rom. I was surprised to see that I could also freeze most of the bloat through the built in Application Manager (selecting an app then tapping Disable) even before I rooted the phone.

first the dev's need to find and unlock the bootloader, we cannot say how much long that will take because it depends on the dev's and the device, i can say about 20 days to a month and after which the recovery can be done, which will be soon if we get the bootloader unlocked , then the custom roms will come out...

Here it is, JQ1, Gingerbread for the Galaxy Tab !
Here are versions both with and without bootloaders:
With bootloaders: http://www.multiupload.com/IZLCKQ3VJC <--- flash this one
Without bootloaders: http://www.multiupload.com/OT2H45PO57
The version without bootloaders doesn't boot for me and gives screen corruption. Running with bootloaders now.
Finally got boot!
Procedure (ODIN !):
- Press the thanks button and/or donate
- Download and extract the firmware zip
- Download and extract the attached gt-p1000_mr_PIT.zip
- Download and extract the attached dbdata.zip
- Flash the firmware tar as PDA, repartition enabled, use the attached PIT
- After flash immediately boot into download mode again
- Flash dbdata.tar as PDA (NO repartition)
- After flash immediately boot into recovery mode
- Wipe cache
- Wipe data / factory reset
EDIT: The bootloaders ARE signed, but NOT secured. Custom kernels and firmwares can still be flashed !
EDIT#2: CF-Root v3.2 for JQ1 / Gingerbread has arrived: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=13687236&postcount=176
EDIT#3: Be sure to use Odin 1.7 attached to this post, older versions of Odin will NOT work !
Thanks, bro, if u want help in any way, just let me know
fingers crossed
Recovery is telling me it cannot format /dbdata ... hmm
are you able to flash any 2.2 firmware or is to somewhat bricked? (sorry if a bit of a stupid question)
hope to god it doesnt need the new bootloaders, or at least that they arent signed
Most likely, just as with the i9000 Gingerbread leaks/releases it will need the bootloaders.
Downloading now, thanks chainfire

do i flash it via CMW ? or by what cuz am still downloading it and the file type is ZIP means by CWM right ?
how are those bootloaders looking? signed or not
Right.....

Hi Chainfire!
Congrats on getting it to boot! However, I'd assume this is the version with the bootloader... so, am curious, would your bootloader patch work on this as well?
Great work again as ever mate!
w/ bootloaders or w/o?
i have a totally unlocked euro tab, unbranded.
now i'll start the processor i'll inform if anything
It appears that even though the bootloaders and kernel are signed, it does allow to flash a non-signed kernel, so ...
Will have to make a CF-Root to 100% verify.
Seems no bootloader patch needed. And even if it was, this wouldn't boot with the unsigned bootloaders.
here's a quick and very easy guide on how to install CWM on Xperia 2012 line ups.
just download the CWM install file
SO-03D / Acro S here
Xperia S here (big props to PuriketsuAngel)
unzip folder
connect phone normally via USB to your PC
go to unzipped folder, execute install.bat
that's it, CWM installed.
to go to recovery mode - just restart device (turn off, turn on) and while on the SE logo, simply tap the screen of your phone several times.
up and down volume keys will serve as your directional keys, camera button will serve as "select/ok" key.
and yep, back and home buttons work within the CWM environment.
note: when you choose to restart/reboot system now while on CWM screen, phone will turn off.(it does on mine). just restart normally - like pressing on the power button to turn it on.
Device must be rooted. we got a tut on how to root your device even on locked BL here
N O T E
This is a work around if restoring from previous back up is giving you error.
Back up :
Before doing a NAND back up - please do a manual reset of your device - no additional Apps must be installed. Also clear/delete any left over folders from your SD card.
Restart device then tap screen several times - once in CWM - clear cache/dalvik cache.
Then and only here would you do a back up for your ROM.
Restore :
Before doing a restore - please do a manual reset of your device - turn device off, hold vol-up and power button at the same time until you get 3 vibrates.
Now you can do restore.
if this CWM version is still giving you errors : please provide a detailed account of the error message, a logcat will be appreciated.

Good to hear. But I will wait for someone to confirm this. Kinda scared (I had another device, and modded it a lot, but I'm quite noob to XS yet)
nothing to be scared about. the guide is fairly easy to follow and no special key combination required. the process just installs CWM on your recovery partition.

If they use stock kernel, yes.
Good point... let's hope someone find a way to unlock the BL or start making cool roms for stock kernel
EDIT:
Som questions regarding this:
- If we reflash the firmware, we lose cwm?
if not, I know we lose root, but with cwm can we root again?
PS: somehow now I have a backup I feel safer xD

I doubt that any stock rom will flash with twrp recovery....in the past with oppo phones (n1, 7a) its always needed stock recovery to flash stock roms...I guess we just play the waiting game until someone can upload the boot image from the updated rom. I'm pretty sure flashing that alone will get wifi back up and running. 07 Or if someone has the stock recovery they could upload....I am unsure if you can just rip it directly out of the rom and flash it....Also on oppo forums they have posted the rom for 5207 I am also unsure if you can flash that to the 5206.
The zip in that thread is images to flash in fastboot?
...
I would think you would have to flash each image individually.... system, boot, recovery ....unless if we start by flashing only the unmodified boot.img to see if it will fix wifi....but i doubt it because i suspect the wrong boot image is what screwed up wifi in the first place...someone please correct me if im wrong

Yes, you're right; the boot image is not compatible with the upgrade; so downgrade to get root. I'm working on trying to upgrade again with the OTA upgrade and then getting the new boot.img and rooting that. More soon I hope!
FYI I tried your images, Lum_UK and found that I couldn't flash boot.img with fastboot, BUT I could dd them from within recovery, so I got myself up and running again.
Yes you'd have to flash all the images by hand one after the other.

Thanks for that, though I haven't tried it yet. Can I ask what it changes? Is it worth the upgrade? My original firmware +root seems to work pretty well already so I may well leave it alone until L or CM comes out.

I have no idea what it changes as it's the firmware my International N5706 was shipped with when it was released last week. It may be different to the US model (though I believe the only difference between the two is the baseband) and is definitely different to the N5707 for Chinese users.

this method requires you to downgrade(only bootloader) and is more dangerous then the regular downgrading approach. just downgrade you could enjoy have enjoyed a rom by now(while you were searching for the correct images

Well firstly it's done on a old version of odin with the old layout of firmware files, which won't work. And if it did work there's a high chance there's no custom roms for A22.
