Just use this thread. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1737848
The LG1 rom is the latest for AT&T G3. The second one in the thread is stock from initial release I believe. Download and flash. Since it's stock, it won't bump your counter. Will lose root though.

Ya I saw that thread before posting here. But the links are from samsung-updates.com. I was thinking I'll download it from the official site thats all. I guess you dont have the answer then?

Uuuh, those roms are straight from Samsung Kies (their official roms). They are safe. I have used it to ditch root and go back to my stock kernel prior to flashing new custom roms. They are official roms from Samsung. If you want to get them from Samsung directly, install more bloatware on your pc (Kies). Have fun.
I really don't care about a few apps being there (even if I don't use it).. So are u saying that if I install either one of the three (in the green box in the picture) I should be fine? Do u happen to know why they have different numbers in them?

Nope. I got my stock roms from the thread I sent you. Use the thread. Like I said, they are official roms straight from Samsung. It wouldn't be a main sticky on the development forum if it wasn't legit. Or you can just download Kies from the Samsung.com website and use that to flash newer stock roms to your phone. Or you can pull your hair out wondering which one to use until someone who knows their serial scheme to answer it better than I can.. The choice is yours. Chances are, anyone else would just link to that same thread I sent you already anyway. I've used them and they are just fine. I keep the latest stock on my ext_sd for backup just in case, which I downloaded from that thread. Works like a charm every time I have flashed it to go back to stock.
If you are already rooted and just trying to get back to stock to take your phone back for warranty, I also suggest you look into the app Triangle Away. Just do a forum search, it's in the development section. It resets your flash counter to zero. You will want to do that *before* you unroot. Assuming you've already rooted. Since I don't know your situation, I can only offer some suggestions. Hope this all helped.
Hehe.. Thanx for replying so elaborately. I have indeed tried the ROM posted on the thread earlier to go back to stock from CM10. They do wrk fine indeed. I just thought I'd get it from the official Site. That's all. I'm a little new to this but not a uber noob

No worries, everyone here was new to Android and flashing at some point as well. I completely understand you wanting to make sure what you are about to flash to your $500 phone is clean and safe. I have used the roms linked from that thread from the samsung-updates.com website myself with no problems. Anyone else here on XDA will tell you the same thing, they are safe and straight from Samsung Kies.
Question .
I downloaded one of the original stock rom from the link , currently I'm rooted but if i wanted to go back to stock how would I do it?
Flash the file i just downloaded ? How with CWM? Odin? this part is what's confusing me.
Thanks if anyone can explain , I guess I mainly want to know how to go back to stock and how to unroot.
1st Download the Triangle away app and reset ur flash counter if it's not zero already.
2nd Put ur phone in download mode(volume down+home+power button) and use Odin to flash the Stock ROM from your computer.
3rd This should have removed all root from your phone. But do go into settings-> About device->Status->Device status(in ur phone) . If it still shows 'modified', goto recovery menu(volume up+home+power button) and do a factory wipe.
Ur good to go after that.

I thought when u flashed Stock ROM with Odin, it flashes the kernel and modem too? At least when u flash it with mobile Odin it happens by default.

I did check the 'about device' to see if there is anything that'll help me narrow it down(before you even replied). Yes, it helped me narrow it down to the green box in the picture.
Before you type some random **** like this why dont you check it out on your phone and give a reply. Let me know if you find out anything useful.
At the risk of sounding like an ass, did you look under the battery?

Only thing left i can think to do would be to call the number listed for further assistance
Edit
Look under your battery again. Notice under the imei barcode. You see 2 letters there? Mine was mb. That might have something to do with it. Might not.

Wow..good catch. I thinks that's it. Its just two letters printed just like that not part of anything else. Mine is RW. Dont know what the difference b/w them are though. Thanks again. :good:
Update:
Called them up. Its all the same...the MB,RW and ZR refers to the different colors.
MB refers to Pebble blue
RW refers to Marble White
and ZR refers to Garnet red.
Not sure where to post a victory message! After scouring the net over my truly new LG Escape P870, actually newly released to the world in mid-September, for rooting information, I somehow landed on Bin4ry's thread here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1886460.
I am extremely happy to say that version 15 did the job! I wanted to post this in his thread, but I'm not allowed to because I'm new.
So for anybody enjoying using this great phone, there's hope. And it's EASY!
Peace, tinkicker.
I tried Bin4ry's as well but it did''t work for me. It kept giving me errors (i tried it like 10 times). I tried both methods (for tabs and the normal) I wanted to post on Bin4ry's and give him the output that I got but I couldnt post on that thread (new user) . Then I found a site, which I am not able to post the link to because xda doesn't let me( new user), but if you google "LG Esteem OneClickRoot" it is the first result that comes up. I tried that one, it also gave me errors and restarted my phone, I thought It didnt work but when I went and looked in the installed apps, for my surprise there was a new app - "superSU". So I opened a terminal typed su and there it was the coveted # sign . Now I need to find how to install a new recovery.
Hey guys, just got this phone today. Tried both of those methods with no luck so I figured why not try the method that worked on the recently ported ICS 4.0.4 for the LG Thrill.
You can find it here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=31963526&postcount=532
The version 1.6 worked for me. The only problem I had was there was an error reading a file, second time through it worked with 0 errors.
Also there is an update to our firmware from P87010c to P87010f not sure what the difference is.
NO JOY!!!
Okay...I'm stupid. Rooted phone...one wrong move with a system file...yep. Brick.
Fortunately I was 1 day shy of my hardware warranty expiration so new phone. But...now Bin4ry's app no longer works for me! It will NOT root this new Escape!
Tomorrow I'll try MikesTooLz's and see what happens.
Look at your system info, did you get the newer software version? The v10f or P87010f is the update, the one on my phone that I rooted with wkparks method is v10c or P87010c.
If it's the updated version can't say for sure but the link I posted above worked on 2 LG phones that I have, may work on yours.
I suspected the software update--it's the F version--might be the culprit but I didn't know what the original was so I couldn't be sure.
So what can I do? Wait on someone to cover the F update? Could I download the older version, root, and then upgrade again?
Did you try the method posted in the link I provided? You may have to run it 2 times to get it to work. Also some have reported better results with version 1.2 of the root script vs 1.6
What exactly is going wrong? Can you give me a screenshot of the cmd prompt? I will do what I can to help, I have the update ready to go but haven't done it because I want to make sure I have root. haha
Downgrading isn't really possible because the only KDZ I can find is the v10f which I posted in a thread here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=33752762
I'm slowly working on this phone so hopefully we can get a custom recovery going and everything no promises though but, I won't be happy till I can put a custom rom on this phone.
Urabewe, it worked!
I could NOT download v1.6. It would appear to download, virus scan would run, and browser would lock up. When I checked my "extract to" folder, the bin and files folders were there, but none of the .bat files had extracted. I was able to correctly download and extract v1.2, so I ran it, and my phone is now rooted. Thank you for the info!
It ran the first time and failed. Ran the second like you said I might have to, and it completed correctly.
I have the update ready to go but haven't done it because I want to make sure I have root. haha

Does that mean you were waiting to root your phone to see if I bricked mine? LOL!
Now...everybody talks about "install a new recovery". Can somebody point me to or describe the correct procedure/routine/script that I need to follow in order to set my phone up safely like it should be? What apps do I need to fulfill all the correct steps? Yes, I've messed around with a tablet root for a year, but I'm no developer. As far as the technicalities go, I'm pure NOOB. Windows, I understand. Linux, I'm learning. I don't know how to be safe about this and I can't afford to buy another phone if I screw up (wife is watching me closely).
Urabewe, thanks for the help!
Awesome glad it worked. No wasn't waiting for you to brick, just confirm root was possible, and this is nice to know I may just upgrade later then.
Recovery is not possible right now, bootloader is locked and only thing we can get into is download mode which has nothing to do with custom recoveries. Slowly working on it so anything I find will be posted.
Any info I find will be posted here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=33752762 so keep an eye out there.

has anyone tried any of the one click methods? ive found 3/4 different ones out there.
One Clicks...
I tried two specifically meant for LG phones, and I had no luck with them. I succeeded with Urabewe's posted links though. And yes, as I posted in their thread, v10f IS rootable. Once I figure out how to take screencaps again, or better take live video of the screen, I will get it as more proof. Now to see if ROMs will be possible soon....
I can't rooting my terminal, other method easy?

Please Note: No other method listed in the GN2, GS3 forums work for this particular problem. I, as well as a few others have had this happen when flashing different ROMs. I have no idea what causes it but I do have an idea as to how to fix it. I just can't because what I need seems to be disabled in the phone.
Also, I did make a backup of my EFS and a restore does not fix this particular problem.
Problem #1:
After flashing a ROM, the GN2 is unable to activate the radio/modem. The following read "Unknown" in the "About Phone" menu:
Baseband, Network, Mobile Network Type, MEID, IMEI, ICCID.....etc. Basically anything to do with the mobile network.
Problem #2:
When booted up and running, PC will not recognize the phone as usual (unable to copy files to phone).
Problem #3:
And probably the biggest problem: ADB does not recognize the phone. ADB debugging is enabled on the phone in Developer Options but the icon on the notification button doesn't appear. Nor does ADB recognize the phone in recovery. So therefor I cannot transfer files this way either. "nvbackup/nvrestore" can not be used because of this either.
The following methods have all been tried and have failed. Yes, I know what I am doing,

Well I was testing a rom for someone, I wont tell which rom but he said it was the "in call recorder" he added. He's got it fixed now but it did wipe everything. I managed to restore it back to stock with no root but it bricked after that. Now I see why carriers dont like to unlock bootloaders cause of people bricking their phone and taking them back

You care to clarify which ROM you flashed in particular caused this to happen so that we don't replicate your problem? I want to assume it's your own ROM but just want to make sure.

Uhh.. no offense to anyone, but if we have a rogue ROM that's bricking phones, we need to know in case it's floating around somewhere.
Also, (and again, not to start any negativity, just curious) the general feel of this thread was random bricking from flashing any ROM, which is very scary and cause for alarm. But according to the quoted post I'm gathering now that this is an issue directly related to accidents within a specific ROM?

You cant flash a s3 rom the partitions are different. Even the partitions forbthe international note 2. Tmo. Att. Verizon and sprint note 2 are different.
Try flashing the stock tar from sex tape or viper boy. This should fix those issues. Then update the phones prl. Profile. Software. And firmware. And see if u have 3g and everything else.
Then start over.

I said I was testing a rom which means I was the only person he released it to at the time. I dont want to reveal the rom or the dev because I dont want any negativity towards him he's a great dev and your probably running his rom right now. So dont worry there isnt a rogue rom floating around

Was it mine? I can tell you that if any of the previous stuff happened to you, it wasn't from the ROM. Could have been a bad download, coinsidence, etc. The ROM flash wouldn't have caused it.

one youtube video shows using a site calld FGM service and for a fee, if you give them your IME number they will unlock the phone. Anyone here tried this before or know about this service?
I would not give any info to anyone, if it were me. As for other ways, I dont know of any but the method in the link above worked for me when I tested it on my sisters S3
Just throwing this out there no idea if it will work but I'm guessing it would if worse comes to worse. Flash the a stock or rooted tar in Odin from freeza.

That true. OP, go into recovery, and make a backup
Then ODIN to stock rooted and restore your data...should work

Thanks for the help but I'm a noob, this is my first smart phone. Are there any write ups or links to how to do recovery/backup, ODIN, restore?

You're in luck, my friend. Our mighty qbking77 has created a set of videos with just what you need in his thread over here. They are easy to follow. The main thread on how to root is here. Just watch and read all you can before starting, and make sure not to use international ROMs on your Sprint phone (this causes a hard-brick and many facepalms here on XDA)

thanks for the help so far but just tried and got stuck again.
Question, I got into the "Android system recovery <3e>" menu and the back-up option is not listed.....
Is there another way to back-up? or am I out of luck and have to do a hard reset from same menu?
You can root it through ODIN (in download mode) and then flash a recovery

We can't get it until samsung releases firmware. There are quite a few threads on this already. I am waiting for it also. Just keep checking back we will get it sooner or later.

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 where is it? lol idk where it is bc i haven't yet seen it on SamMobiles site. when i enter the nomenclature it doesn't come up with any files for SM-T807P ! for the love of god please someone tell me so i can extract the file needed so we can get moving on this wonderful 4G LTE Sprint Samsung Tab S 10.5" Tablet i need a root for! Must have RooT...
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!
