I am new to the android, tried to root my Galaxy Tab3 7.0. I think I used the UK version (PreRooted_SM-T211XXAMGL.tar.md5) everything went well but now have to Wi-Fi or Bluetooth. Is there a US version, and how can I fix this? Do I need to reset to factory and start over or can I reroot with US version if I can find the link?
thx for any help you can give.

I'm running 4.2.2 on my 10.1 and it is rooted.
It was done long ago and I really do not need the device being rooted anymore.
Not sure how to unroot it so I can upgrade to 4.42.
It might have been posted but I couldn't find it.
Help appreciated.

Beware that some of us believe that upgrading to 4.4.2 via OTA or Kies or installing Stock 4.4.2 as they come is unsafe!!!
New stock 4.4.2 comes with new bootloaders!!
So for us the safest way to upgrade is use one of the many Rom develop in our forrum. Yes I understand many think the opposite,safest is to stick with Samsung Stock as it come from factory. It is up to you.
A few had claim that after you go back to 4.2.2 Official Stock, their programing counter had clear and they in fact go OTA or Kies to upgrade to 4.4.2. Personally I do not know. I do not use Kies.
But here is an example of such Claim:
Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 > Galaxy Tab 3 General > KitKat Update official for GT-P5210 available => http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-tab-3/general/kitkat-update-official-gt-p5210-t2871073
Good luck with your upgrade, I hope nothing happens with those new bootloaders in the future. Who knows maybe you will not be able to clear your counter again! I do not know I am just kidding.
Thanks, that worked, now I am on 4.4.2.
Just a crazy question, what if I want to go back to 4.2.2, can it be done?

You have not said what type of TAB3 10 you have. 3G, wifi or 4G. Nor said what procedure you follow. Ota, Kies or one of the roms develop here.
I do not know if installing 4.4.2 with OTA or Kies can prevent you to go back.
In my case I use 4.4.2 Pimpdroid 3Beta. I found it smooth and nice. But I got upset with 4.4.2 limitations and went back to 4.2.2 with stock 4.2.2. Without any problems.

I have 10.1 tab 3 wifi only, i was rooted in 4.2.2, installed a stock rom of 4.2.2 via odin, after i received an autoupdate via OTA to 4.4.2
OK so I have a Samsung Galaxy Tab S 8.4 from ATT Model SM-T707A. I recently switched from AT&T to T-Mobile. The new firmware came out (5.0.2). Supposedly, it can only be downloaded off OTA. Well, since I'm not with AT&T anymore, it won't let me do it that way. I tried searching everywhere for a way to download it and install it manually but I've been failing miserably. Can anyone help me out?
•Software Version: 5.0.2
•Baseband Version: T707AUCU1BOE5
•Kernel Version: 3.4.39-4973971
•Build#: LRX22G.T707AUCU1BOE5
I also haven't been able to find any information on SUCCESSFULLY rooting this model as well.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Hey man,
Did you try updating via Samsung Kies? Details here:

Click on "update via computer".
Cheers,

Shouldn't make any difference what carrier you are on. You don't have to have a sim card in the device to update.
AFAIK it still updates from samsungs servers using the model and build number of your device.
By the looks of it you are already running 5.0.2 if that's your current firmware.
As said above just use kies/smart switch to update, if there actually is one.
There was a ~130MB update released a few weeks back (presumably for stage fright?).
It takes the build from BOE4 to BOE5... not sure if this shuts out Kingroot etc.?!
This thread says you have to have an active AT&T SIM card to upgrade.

Have you tried Samsung kiosk at Best Buy?
FYI, I was able to update a AT&T galaxy tab s with stock OTA update over WiFi, without any SIM in the tablet.
Help Lost IMEI after P605T 5.1.1 update
Hi,
I recently purchased a Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 2014 edition TMobile variant. It came installed with 4.4.2. I wanted to have a rooted 5.1.1
* Applied CF-autoroot from here: primehowto com root-galaxy-note-10-1-lte-sm-p607t-t-mobile
(I didn't check but I think at this stage it didn't wipe the IMEI)
* I used Kies to upgrade from 4.4.2 to 5.1.1.
Now when the IMEI appears to be unknown (not registering with tmobile sim card)
Although the WIFI works whenever the table is rebooted the SSID profiles/passwords are forgotten.
I've been seeing folks suggest the EFS is corrupt.
What is the best way of recovery?
1) Downgrade back to 4.4.2? Maybe the Autoroot isn't compatible with 5.1.1? Is there a safe way to do this?
2) Try to recover EFS? Is there a way to confirm the state of EFS? What would be the best way to do this?
Thanks for your help!

I've resolved the issue. It appears CF autoroot didn't cause the problem, but rather using Kies to update to the latest 5.1.1. TMO caused the problem. I was able to get back the IMEI # flashing with .tar.md5 using Odin .
I purchased a Galaxy Note 5 from eBay. It came with Android 5.1.1, i have tried doing a software update but says i have the latest software. I have tried updating through Samsung Smart Switch but says my device is not supported. I have read other people have updated to Android 6 but it will not update mine. Is there anything else i can do? My device is the N920A. Thanks
You need to have an (activated) AT&T SIM Card in the phone before you can get OTA updates on an AT&T model - that really stinks doesn't it? !!!
However if you are willing to do a factory reset and use ODIN to flash the firmware upgrade, you can get the July 6.0.1 Marshmallow update form here:
http://www.androidsage.com/2016/06/...5-to-n920aucu2bpe6-android-6-0-1-marshmallow/
I am in Canada and was wondering if it would work to get a AT&T pay as you go sim card for the phone and then do the update over wifi?
Have now done the upgrade and running Marshmallow, thanks for your help
Good to hear ... did you use Odin or did you find an AT&T SIM for OTA update?
You can also apply all the OTA updates using ADB sideload (but that factory resets your handset every time, so do a full backup with Smart Switch PC app beforehand)
i tried to downgrade my phone to 5.1.1 or 6.0.1 using odin but when ever i installe new firmware the phone update it self to 7.x.x even tho there's no internet connection it keep updating back can you guys suggest me something to do i bought the phone of dude i met on market to find out i cant use it as its locked with google account and i tried bypassing with realterm but didnt work and downgrading seems impossible i really need help
thanks in advance
