well my friend bricked his galaxy nexus when he tried rooting it and brought it back to the carrier to get a replacement. maybe you'll get lucky. he said that it just stopped working and had no idea what happened.
I did this too when I got my s3 but I just sent it into Samsung and they fixed it up.

I Cant boot into recovery though? its literally DEAD
Please Close I just told tmobile i was on fb and it crashed there sending me a new one > ive learned from my mistakes
Hello everyone i am in a peculiar situation i recently got s3 from my friend he said that it is I9300 but when i received it i came to know that it is T999 and not I9300 . My problem here is it came with android version 4.1.1 build number : I9300ZSEMC1 i didn't understand why it came with i9300 firmware ( i cannot ask my friend as he does not have much technical knowledge ) everything is working fine occasionally touch does not respond and i have bit of hard time switching on wi fi and weird battery drain problems what i want to know is , is these because of the i9300 firmware being present in t999 and whether is it advisable to update it further from 4.1.1 version to t999 latest stock firmware or to stick with the present version . If it is advisable to update to t999 based stock firmware i want to know whether it will work in indian carriers and wont have any problems and also can someone guide me for the right firmware link / build number to go with. :fingers-crossed:
I didn't know the firmware would actually flash across models.

Isn't the I9300 the 1gbp ram version?
Anyway, if certified in download mode you could just flash t999 firmware.
If that doesn't sound safe you can also put a t999 recovery on it and try doing a backup and installing a t999 rom

Sounds kinda like some of the "frankenphones" we've heard about over the last several months. Or it could also be a fake/chinese knock off. If I were you, I would see if there were any way to send it back to whoever sold it. If you plan to keep it though, understand anything you do is AT YOUR OWN RISK! The only absolutely safe course of action is to do nothing to it. If you try to flash it via Odin, and it allows it to flash, but you chose the wrong firmware, it WILL brick. There is honestly no possible way to know for sure what is up with the device.
If I had to guess, something is lying to you about what you are running. If your current firmware version is from an I9300, then that is most likely what you have. That firmware WILL NOT work on any Qualcomm, US model S3's. This tells me that its probably an I9300, and someone screwed with something, (or was careless when trying to copy Samsung), in the bootloader. Because it tells you it is a T999 in download mode, it will probably not let you flash the I9300 firmware. But if you try to flash the T999 firmware, there is a very good possibility you will brick it.
It is up to you what you want to try, but understand you are taking a bigger than normal risk since you already know the device isnt normal to begin with.
One way you can try to determine what motherboard it uses, (though this is by no means a for certain way to know), is go to the SIM unlock thread in General and try to follow those instructions. Also try the GPS fix thread in the Q&A sticky roll up. If I am not mistaken, both use dialer codes that are specific to Qualcomm devices. If they work, its a better chance of it being a T999. If they do not work, its more likely to be an I9300.

There is a chance that someone modified the model number in the phone to access certain apps or something.
I remember modifying a phone to do that go some exclusive app a couple years ago.

Have you found the firmware for this device or has it still not been posted yet? Also, where can I look for it at? I'm assuming it is a website that has all of the firmwares listed for every Samsung device. Unfortunately, i cant remember the name at the moment and Ill kick myself when you say it or if someone else posts it, for not remembering something so often i used to go to. However, I was in the hospital for a couple months for M.R.S.A. and that sucked. Im finally out of there but 2 months out of the loop with this field is like several years missing information in the technology world! So, what site was this posted on again?

so, does this mean that since this hasn't even been posted yet anywhere, completed, or done yet that considering this is the first step to development and achieving root, im also guessing people need this file to even start to begin making/developing the ROMs right? which probably means then there isnt/arent any even available as of yet and/or let alone a stock Rom/Custom ROMs for this particular device either is there? yes? no? if the answer is yes, then awsome cool where can i find any of them! if the answer is no, there arent any stock or custom ROMs available yet then my response is BoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooFREAAAAKKKKKIN Hisssssssssssssss 2 thisss maaaaaaaan! Bc this device has been out almost a year now and how can we begin development already on this thing! Is there anyway i can do it on my own? does someone have directions or a link to manually rooting IE the first way where we make the ADB command lines then type the next command to manually root the old fashioned way or what?! bc ill do it on my own if i have to!!!!! someone lead the way to the right direction(s) and im on it! might take some time but thats how i rooted my first smart phone the HTC EVO supersonic 31600. i know we use odin for samsung but what are the steps to get this ball moving?! if no one else is going to do it id like to try at least. anyone send me a link pls ? where do i start?

Right here. samsung-updates.com/device/?id=SM-T807P now can you upload the latest one to mega upload or mediafire? Then I can perhaps extract whats needed but still may take a while as beans or chainfire hasnt been porting cfautoroot to some devices. I could try to preroot it, but it may not work.
Root for SM-T807P
I got tired of waiting around for CF-Auto-Root to come out with a package so I made my own. It's all based off the CF-Auto-Root that I modified using another device that uses the same chip as the T807P.
I am in the process of testing it. So far I've come up with one bug which causes the DHCP wifi loop, but it was an easy fix. Once you have root access just change the permissions on the /system/etc/dhcpcd/dhcpcd-run-hooks file to "execute" by "user" "group" and "others" by using a root file explorer. It fixes the "obtaining ip address loop" for wifi.
All the standard legal stuff like - I am not responsible if you brick your device or if the root doesn't work.
Here is the link to the file I used with Odin to flash the CF-Auto-Root for my T807P.

How did you modify the stuff/exactly what did you do in cfautoroot? I tried myself but didn't know what else to do. I would love to learn! (I dont own a 807p so but I have always wondered how) Thanks!
I have an A50(A505U through Sprint) with a locked bootloader. I've tried the 7 day trick to enable Oem Unlock in Developer Options but it doesn't work. I'm wondering what the chances of being able to to force oem unlock using adb is without bricking my device? I figure this is to easy of a solution but hoping someone is willing to try it!
I also have the same Sprint A505U and I'm having the same problem. Hope we get a resolution for this.
im picking up a verizon A505U tomorrow.. out of curiosity, are you able to flash combo firmware?
also to add, you cant force oem unlock using adb.. you can probably set the oem unlock to on in adb but it doesnt actually change the unlock bit wherever its stored in the firmware so as soon as you reboot its back to 0.
If you can flash combo however you can enable oem unlock then flashing back to stock the oem unlock bit should remain on.
Either way, I will be playing with it all weekend lol.. i just hope its not like the A102U i purchased from tmo which doesmt let me flash anything

Yes I have used Odin to flash a sprint firmware from samfrew and and found out it was sprint verzion firmware when poking around.
I suspect it is going to be the same. All U variants can't be unlocked from what I've been told.

I take it it's currently impossible to unlock the bootloader on the SM-A505U?
I haven't done much with Android since I had a spat of amnesia so I don't remember much, but is it possible to root this phone without unlocking the bootloader? I don't have any plans of installing a custom ROM, just want root privileges.
Witam! I znalazł ktoś jakiś sposób na odblokowanie? Zależy mi bardzo na TWRP oraz Root.
Was anyone able to flash a combination AP file? I get a secure check fail for everything. I'm using Heimdall. Whichever packet is uploaded first, it will fail at that packet.
Edit: Just realized it's probably because of RMM state. Has anyone discovered a bypass? I guess I'll try waiting for 7 days with no sim card and see if that does it. Tried Chimera tool to RMM Unlock with no luck
Straight Talk A505U (SM-S506DL)
Following along this thread. This is my first post ever. I have some experience with odin and Samsung. I would like to try out flashing and return with the results. Not afraid to soft brick. Could I possibly get a link to anything you have so far and I will share anything I find? Thank you.

maybe google?
i cannot find the ash2 firmware for the sm-a505yn ? , if i had the whole build number it might be a bit easier to google..
if anyone has twrp running on sm-a505yn please be kind enough to chime in on what build number etc stock rom ?
ive tried all the methods on here listed.
still no luck what so ever .
i get a message on the download screen after odin flash saying only official binarys are allowed to be flashed.
has anyone had any luck flashing a combination firmware and then trying to install twrp ?
i am on sm-a505yn... if anyone can help me i would be happy to donate 50$ bucks into your account lol bashing my head aagainst a wall here this is day 3 of trying ahrhghghghghgh

"only official binarys are allowed to be flashed" because the bootloader locked. you must unlock the bootloader first.

mate my bootloader was unlocked.
i have 4 rooted phones i know how to unlock a bootloader.........................
it wasnt the BL it was the method provided that didnt work.
this a50 drove me to the point of being psychotic.
the phone is now gone due to almost being thrown at a brick wall.....
anyways in future someone should do a guide for the australian varient as none of these methods worked for it.... and believe me i tried all these methods even with overseas firmware etc. :good:
