3/3/2011 - I've been away for several weeks, sorry about that. I've also moved on and will be futzing with my shiny new Xoom. I will not be working on Tab projects for the immediate future, it at all.
Been fun
There seems to be a genuine lack of activity on the Sprint version of the Tab. Hopefully this will allow folks to start making themes and ROM's for the Sprint flavor of the tablet.
This package was created via the "Rotobackup" Method pioneered by Rotohammer and maniac3389.
As far as I can tell, I'm the only one who has done this on the Sprint-flavor of the Tab, so this is all beta and VERY RISKY. I do not recommend using this unless you are VERY familiar with flashing Android devices.
NOTE: This is ALMOST STOCK. The Rotobackup process did not dump the modem.bin file properly. To address this, I used the modem from the Epic 4G (SPH-D700-DK28-8Gb-REL). This modem effectively disables GPS. There is no known fix yet.
Updates:
12/13/2010 - Looks like the package borks GPS. You cannot acquire satellites after flashing.
12/29/2010 - GPS is still broke if you use the package containing the modem. Looks like we will need to wait until an update is released. Feel free to keep troubleshooting the issue, I'll update the OP if somebody figures it out.
12/29/2010 - Uploaded package WITHOUT the modem
12/29/2010 - Introduced Zypher, a fully deodexed updater.
WARNING!!! YOU CAN BRICK YOUR DEVICE VERY EASILY.
THESE ARE FOR SPRINT VERSIONS OF THE TAB.
Instructions:
Backup your settings with Titanium Backup
Do a factory reset: Settings>Privacy>Factory Data Reset
Turn on USB debugging: Settings>Applications>Development>USB debugging
Extract the RAR archive
Open "Odin3 v1.31.exe"
Reboot into Download Mode (adb reboot download)
Do not check Re-Partition option
Click PIT, select pit.pit
Click PDA, Select .tar file
Click Start
Downloads
Download 1 - Stock, no modem - Sprint Only! Use this if you want to get back to stock (rooted). ALL USERS SHOULD TRY THIS PACKAGE FIRST! If you still have problems, then you need to use the modem package which kills GPS (Download 2).
Download 2 - Stock, with modem - Sprint Only! Includes modem from Epic 4G - Only use if your Tab will not boot, this package will kill GPS
THERE IS NO WAY TO GET THE STOCK MODEM BACK AFTER YOU FLASH!!
Download Zypher v1 - Sprint Only! Deodexed\zipaligned. I recommend running a factory reset before applying the package. Settings>Privacy>Factory Data Reset
Zypher Details:
Based off DJ30
Deodexed and zip aligned
Removed startup/shutdown sounds
Added Busybox installer
Added Titanium Backup
Added Z4Root
Added AD-Free hosts file
To do list:
Work in the full screen fix (via Spareparts)
Replace launcher with LauncherPro
Theme everything
Nice work, not that Sprint would allow it, but did this enable dialer functions since it is using an alternate modem file?
Awesome, thanks!
Now who's got a busted Tab to try this on!
Not sure if this is any help, but here's a system dump someone posted....
http://forum.androidcentral.com/galaxy-tab/44323-us-galaxy-tab-sprint-system-dump.html
Dunno. There is no dialer installed and it gives the standard engrish statement "Cannot make or take a call using Galaxy Tab"
I did some comparisons between the sprint tab and the epic, and the modems are identical. I just flashed this and it worked flawlessly.
Thanks again man I appreciate it. You have ressurected my tab.
Wow, maybe I can finally root

Excellent, glad it worked for you.
Nevermind.
I am going to try this now... I had terminal emulator crash on me and it messed up the filesystem or something. My Sprint Galaxy Tablet just says "Samsung" and glows after the intro animation.
I did manage to get the tablet into downloading mode by:
1) turning tablet off
2) holding Volume UP key and power key at the same time until it turns on
and I get little android man with a shovel that says "Downloading... Do not turn off Target!!!"
wish me luck
Why dont you just wipe it and see if that works first?

how would I do that? It won't actually boot up.. Just shows the samsung into screen and says on a screen that has samsung glowing. It will blink after a while and vibrate, then go back to glowing at me.
HOLY CRAP that worked!!!!! I was just about to give up! Notice the many hours between my last post and now.. (6:50am now LOL)
I had to do some other things not outlined in this thread to get my computer to see the Galaxy Tablet in the Device Manager. Basically I tried these things, (try them all if you have trouble, I'm not sure what or which actually worked):
tried to wipe from boot up (turn off, hold volume up and power until it turns on and release buttons)
that didn't work
install Kies and Samsung(android) SDK and JDK (java developer kit)
that didn't seem to work
install Samsung PC Studio 7
ah hah! I see you there in the device manager now!
power tablet off and get to download menu (hold volume down and power until you see the android holding a shovel at the download menu)
Load up Odin, YAY It connects and detects the COM!!
Select the PIT and TAR, start, it downloads and reboots and tab loaded right up!!
Best of all I think it also got rid of the Sprint Activation nag notice screen. It hasn't popped up yet and it has been a good 10 min or so! That would be a nice bonus
You saved me so much time and $$ thanks a TON!!
((side note, Odin loads up and displays GT-1000 not my SPH-P100... I edited my odin.ini to reflect the correct model. not a big deal at all, but I was getting confused at first as to why Odin was saying wrong model, thinking it was doing a detection when it was really just blindly echoing info from the ini file))
Good stuff.
You'd think Sprint would want to leak the firmware to keep people from exchanging/RMA'ing devices. One thing is certain with Android, people will hack the hell out of it.
My bad on the label. The top title in Odin is just that, a title. It doesn't doesn't affect the reload process at all. I'd change it, but uploading another 200MB file isn't on my list of activities today

What do you mean?
THANK YOU!
Same thing happened to me this morning as ManaKill described...I had terminal emulator crash on me and it messed up the filesystem or something. My Sprint Galaxy Tablet endlessly glowed "Samsung" after the intro animation - thought I was DONE. Tried wiping but no go. I followed ZoinksS2K directions and it worked flawlessly just as infamousjax described. Thank you!!! No telling how many Tabs have been ressurected thanks to this post.
Have you guys been able to get a gps lock since doing this? I can't get one worth ****.

no i didnt i only wiped it after flashing trying to solve the s note problem, my phone is really tilting and i dunno what to do, tried reflashing and wiping multiple times but no use!
If you come from custom rom, then wipe data and cache partition is required before flashing stock roms. Else some part of last roms remain in system and can create problems.
You can also try by clear data of snote from application setting section.

i had same kind of problem with s note after flashing it with a custom ROM in my gtn 8000. It troubled me alot but finally got the solution by installing languages in keyboard setting.
go to setting>language and inputs >click on settings of Samsung keyboard>choose Handwriting> choose Input languages
u will see lot of languages to download.
download any one of them........................ wait for finishing installation...
Hope it works for u as it did for me.
if does nt work no hard feelings..
I had the same issue, reloaded firmware, clear data and cache with no fix. I thought about to do a factory reset, but just b4 I was going to do it. I suddenly have an idea just flashed in my mind. This is what I did.... go to setting > my device > S pen > put a check mark on the "Open Popup Note when the pen is detached". Then back to the home screen, pull out the S pen and a mini S note will open. Close it and now you should be able to open the regular S Note. It works on my Note 2. Good luck guys.

Am I just being stupid or is there a way to root the new note 10.1 2014 edition on t-mobile's network? The model is SM-P607T & I don't see that listed anywhere on odin/s list or anything. Or is it just too soon from release?

I am looking for this as well since i got one today. It looks like it is the same thing as the P605 which is LTE. The non LTE ones do not use the Qualcomm chip. It also looks like 4.4.2 just came out for the P605 not to long ago and there really isn't anything out for it yet. Bigbuff is talking about updating TWRP to 4.4.2 for the P605. At that time I am sure we will get a recovery and be able to flash SuperSU. If it is out already I have not found it and would like to know as well.
OK so it's not just me then. Usually by the time I get a device all this stuff is out all ready.
I wonder if you can use the international version P605. That's got the qualcomm chip with LTE. I have the 605v and there's been no development for it. Verizon has locked the bootloader, as they tend to do, so we are stuck. If you understand Knox and how that works I would try the P605 method. I tried it on mine and it failed and it didn't cause any damage.

Have you guys tried to put your tablets into download mode. My underdstanding you need to hold down volume down plus the power button for three seconds, but when I try this mine boots into regular mode and not the download mode. Can someone else try this and see if you get a different outcome?
Sent from my SM-P607T using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
Haven't tried it but you have to add home to that as well I thought. Yeah, Google search:
Boot your phone into Download Mode by Pressing and Holding the Volume Down + Home + Power buttons at the same time till you see a warning message on your screen. You’ll be asked to hit the Volume Up to continue into download mode.

its Power + Vol-D + Home gets you to a screen that says vol up to get to download mode or vol down to reboot. I can get to Download mode by doing that. I am going to try doing the P605 root they have out and see how that goes in asec. Make sure you down the Full Odin Firmware.
http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/3/?download=29807
So you can use this if you need to.
Good luck! I'm not adventurous enough to try it.
WARNING: By doing this your Spen will not work anymore
Ok here is how to root the P607T right now. It is the same way as Root for the P605 right now. After reading http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2766394&page=9
on post 88. Someone with the P605 used the P905 CF-Auto root to root their 605.
here are the steps
1. Download to your PC http://download.chainfire.eu/385/CF-Root/CF-Auto-Root/CF-Auto-Root-viennalte-viennaltexx-smp905.zip
2. Reboot your P607T into Download Mode. You can do this by turning off the tablet. then hold Home + Vol-D + Power you will get a screen that says Press Vol D to get into Download mode.
3. Plug your P607T into your PC.
4. Open Odin 3.07 which is included with the down you already did. You should see a Blue tab that says something like Com1.
5. Make sure the only thing that is checked is Auto-reboot.
6. Click PDA and file the CF-Auto-Root-viennalte-viennaltexx-smp905.tar that was in the Zip file you just unziped.
7. Click start and wait.
Your tablet will now reboot into a P905 recovery and flash SuperSU. It can take awhile for the reboot into recovery to happen so just wait. After this is all done your tablet will boot back into Android. Go into the play store and update SuperSU. SuperSU will keep FCing until you update it in the Playstore.
Now here is the problem we run into if you do all this. After CF-Auto Root is done it is going to put a P905 recovery on your Tablet not a P607T recovery. If you want to get your P607T recovery back for future OTAs you need to Odin the full Firmware for the P607T which you can find here. http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/3/?download=29807 Once they get a working TWRP for KitKat and the P605 we should be able to get everything else we need to get back our old recovery.
Now another problem That I have found as well is that the Spen does not work after doing this. I do not really care because I do not really use the Spen. I know there is a fix in this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2766394&page=9 but I have yet to get it to work because I do not know how to type the *#2663# in phone app and then update wacom firmware from kernel to get the Spen to work. We do not have a Phone app to do that. So you are warned that your Spen will not work after doing this.
Other Wise enjoy root until a better way is out.
LTE still work?

No clue I don't use LTE I just opened a 200mb line to get the Tablet on EIP. I will pop in my sim when i get home from work and check it for u.
Edit: yes lte still works I am still trying to fix the spen however that still doesn't work.
Also looks like TWRP has a working recovery now for the P607T. here is a link to a odin file for it. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=53138918&postcount=776 I would use that and just flash SuperSU with it. should give you root and hopefully a working Spen.
May be possible to use mobile odin pro and inject root to the stock firmware, without tripping the knox flag?
This works on the note 3, upgrading to 4.3.
Edit: mobile odin requires to have already root, I used it when upgrading to 4.3
to not lose root.
Thanks.
To late... I already tripped stupid knox. hehe I love the samsung note lines but I really REALLY hate knox! Just a reason for them to deny warranty, or else it'd be optional.
That odin file worked great. Now to wait for some custom roms.....
Just jumping in on the got-this-yesterday train and glad to see some folks have jumped on ahead of me. Thanks for the information you've all provided thus far. I'm hopeful that development on this thing will be strong, I'm liking the device so far.
I'm interested in rooting ASAP but I've been out of the Android loop for a little while, so this KNOX thing freaks me out a bit (I'm just getting familiar with what it is). Seems like it is a simple warantee related thing. Is it irreversible? How common is flashing a custom ROM without triggering it? Does it affect usability at all to have it triggered?
I'm interested if flashing this this evening but not really sure what I'm in for as far as KNOX.

Edit: Originally used root de la vega method for the note3. Mobile odin requires root.
The procedure to inject root with mobile odin pro is on the international note 3 forum.
Worked for my tmo note 3 upgrading to 4.3 and not lose root, but only flashing the original firmware.
Any custom rom, custom recovery or custom kernel will trip knox.
This is not tested yet on the note 10.1 2014.
Will check on the mobile odin thread or Chainfire's blog.
Tripping knox for now is irreversible and voids the warranty.
Normal device operation is not affected. What is lost is the security feature.
Only a concern if your company uses knox, and you use your device for work.
I am going to wait a few weeks, hoping for a no knox tripping root method,
to keep the warranty. But I know that eventually will not care on tripping knox.
Well fudge! I never thought to test the s pen before I rooted. Guess what, it doesn't work.

I posted a big huge warning sign saying that the s pen would not work if you rooted
Sent from my HTC One_M8 using Tapatalk
No I mean it didn't work hardware wise. I thought the touch screen was off by 1/4th an inch but never thought to try the s pen before last night. I even flashed back to stock and it was the same way. Where ever you touched with the s pen it'd either do nothing or it'd randomly draw in a tiny little square up near a corner. The touch screen was really noticeable trying to click on links in chrome cuz I'd always missing, but I thought it was me till I realized the s pen didn't work either. Then I figured it was just the hardware was messed up. Messing around in the drawing app proved that the touch screen was off to a corner by 1/4th an inch. Even if I turned the device around it always was off to that same physical corner.
Oh! Also, I used the new Odin file btw. I assume the s pen works on that one. Never did use the one for the P905, that you posted with that warning.
Hi,
I have a galaxy note 2014 edition that has retail mode on, it was a demo ex. Is there anyway to remove this from the device? Maybe through factory reset with stock firmware or something? Have no idea how to do a factory reset with stock firmware if that works.

Hi,
To do a factory reset: Switch off the tablet.
Then power it up by pressing simultaneously and holding : Volume up + Home + Power
When in Recovery mode move the cursor with the volume key and execute with the power key.
Select Factory reset and execute it.

Hi,
OK, the first thing to know is which device you have: Sm-P600/601/605 ??
Then to know which ROM is installed on the tablet ?
If you can go to setting : then scroll down to "About the phone" you should see the version of the ROM.
With that you go to sammobile
You put your device type and you will get all the stock ROM's
You click on the one you want and on the next windows you will have the URL to download and the way to install it.
To be able to download the ROM you have to register on this site but it's free of charge !!

But I am not sure it will be any faster.
Those ROM's are quite big > 1.xx Gb so if your internet connection is slow it's take time.

One more question, I can´t seem to set some kind of password for the lockscreen since the lock screen option is gone in some way. It says something about Knox but what is that?
Can i add some other app that handles the lock screen?
About Knox: it's some kind of security introduced by Samsung some months ago, a real pain in the back..
Have a look HERE (for example) for more details.
Yes you can install applications w/o problem.
Knox will only get involved when you start playing with the ROM's, Bootloader etc ..
Hi
Hello guys, I have an Galaxy S6 Edge Demo version, I want to know if I change the motherboard with another with GSM function, it will work fine ?
The digital finger print doesn't work, I have to change the button or how can I fix this ?
And another thing, in the background of display, you can barely notice a text, this : Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge, this thing is from display or motherboard ? Because I want to know, if I change the motherboard, it will dissapear that text ?
Thank you.
I would like to remove the starting screen ''Live demo unit'' on SM-T800X tablet to the stock one, and after flashing I have got the demo pieces of text in the bottom of the screen.
I tried to re-partition the install with ODIN and used a PIT file but no changes. Anybody can help with this problem please ? Is there any solution to change the demo unit to look as a stock SM-T800 ?
Also if there any solution to change KNOX value to 0 would be great.
Hey everyone.
Been a LONG time since I have been on XDA. Got the new Note 5 and decided to customize my Note 4. I downloaded TWRP (Latest from their site) for my Sprint Note 4 and something strange has happened.
After flashing through Odin, my screen touches are off by 3/4" on part of the screen... Meaning, On the top 1/3 of the screen, my touches act normal but on the bottom 2/3, they are "off" as in, when I touch, the input registers about 3/4 of an inch lower than where I am touching.
I have tried redownloading and reflashing TWRP and also tried the latest CWM Recovery. I was able to get Hybrid 3.0 Rom to flash and after booting up, during initial setup, it's still the same way. Meaning when I touch the "2" on the keyboard, it registers the letter "z".
UPDATE*** (Video https://youtu.be/MtU9qoIZooM )
After fidling and getting the ROM to launch, I notice I can use my SPen just fine. Going to take video and post what is happening. Here are a few pics of the screen touch turned on in Developer mode. As you can see in the images below, with my finger, the touches are further off the lower I get on the screen but fine with the SPen.

Hey everyone.
Been a LONG time since I have been on XDA. Got the new Note 5 and decided to customize my Note 4. I downloaded TWRP (Latest from their site) for my Sprint Note 4 and something strange has happened.
After flashing through Odin, my screen touches are off by 3/4" on part of the screen... Meaning, On the top 1/3 of the screen, my touches act normal but on the bottom 2/3, they are "off" as in, when I touch, the input registers about 3/4 of an inch lower than where I am touching.
I have tried redownloading and reflashing TWRP and also tried the latest CWM Recovery. I was able to get Hybrid 3.0 Rom to flash and after booting up, during initial setup, it's still the same way. Meaning when I touch the "2" on the keyboard, it registers the letter "z".

Heard of this before and it was due to flashing wrong recovery for your device. Maybe try going back to complete stock unrooted with official tar.
Will give that a try. That's the one thing I didn't try.
it happened to me, dial *#2663# and update the tsp fw update (general), it eventually fixed the issue for me although i had to do it frequently for at least a month until the phone forgot about it

HELL YES!!!!!!! I was just coming back to report that the flashing to stock do NOT fix it. Your recommendation work beautifully! THANK YOU!!!!:laugh:
Anyone have ideas? I have the US Cellular variant and this exact problem after flashing TWRP except that *#2663# doesn't do anything... I've seen someone do it in a video and nothing happens when I hit the last pound. Is it different for USC?
For anyone wondering I had to root, enable hidden menu via editing the file at efs/carrier/hiddenmenu, once I did that the *#2663# worked and I was able to perform the update. Touchscreen works fine now.
I am having the same Issue
I am not a noob been doing this for awhile but the other day I had grabbed the wrong TWRP recovery for my Note 4 I grabbed the Note 4 edge and now my screen is out of whack and I cant used the *#2663# code to bring up the TSP FW so.... any help would be appreciated
I have tried flashing different ROMS, Kernels to get back to stock that didnt work, I have tried Galaxy tools but I cant find how to bring up the TSP menu I have tried flipping the recoveries and wiping and formatting to no avail, so Need some help if possible

Sometimes the first step is restore full stock tar and then try the dialer code.

When you goto download mode, does your phone's display show reactivation lock enabled or disabled?
Even if it is enabled, you should be able to successfully flash the stock tar that matches your bootloader (should be the last full update your phone completed- I wouldn't say bootloops count as successful upgrade or downgrade of bootloader). You would then need to let it auto reboot and sign in with original Google account password during the setup wizard.
If your reactivation lock is disabled, pay close attention to what you're flashing and watch Odin log for issues. If you can boot to stock recovery, factory reset and try Odin again.
Edit: what stock tar are you trying you flash? Most likely, you still won't succeed in downgrading the bootloader to lower security bootloader once you update to OE1 or higher.
