Hi there.
I am new in the forum. Thanks ind advance for any help you can provide me.
Here's the issue:
We just bought the new "Kids" Version. It came with 2 accounts, the normal mode and the kids mode. The kids mode was accessible through a "Kids mode" icon in the normal mode.
I really don't know what my wife did, but she erased the "kids mode" icon and that account is not accessible anymore. Still, I can search for the kids apps and they still show up.
I got two different error messages. An "error 210" and the "Unfortunately the Setup launcher has stopped" (or similar. I don't have the tab here with me)
I thought my only choice here was to download the firmware it came with it, which is T2105UEAMK3-XAR, and re-install it. But KIES won't let me install it, since it displays the "Your firmware is up to date" message. And Samsung doesn't have an official firmware download anywhere. I also talked to an online Samsung representative, who directed me to perform a hard reset. Still, back to factory settings, the "kids mode" icon didn't appear. So he told me to schedule a service. But my daughter won't get any happier if I send out her beloved toy for a week or two.
This is my first venture (or issue) with an Android device. I have found a seemingly endless numbers of video tutorials and the likes, but still, I don't want to mess up with it.
Any help would be greatly appreciated -specially by my daughter
Thank you.

I attempted a root on Samsung Note 2 Sprint version (in white). Followed all steps, however phone got stuck in a reboot loop right after I put the option 2 (root only) Odin step in. Sprint ver LPH889 (I believe that is what Odin is calling it, option 72). Toolkit used was ADB 4.1.0.
Original symptoms were that the Android updater was looping trying to load everything; being new I made it worse and tried recoveries and reloads which also failed. Now it boots, goes to splash, circling blue oval image and...it stays there.
Good news: I have access to download mode and recovery reset mode (including sideloading).
Bad news: every thread I've followed has given me an issue.
I have recovery access but I need some idea of where to go from here and searches have shown near but not exact symptoms. I have unplugged it from the pc, removed the battery, done a factory reset, attempted to reflash via Odin (root) attempted to reflash stock via Odin and so far I am still stuck in a reboot loop. Windows detects the phone but shows a problem in device manager because possibly it won't stop rebooting. Any help you can provide is appreciated and if at all possible I need to recover some form of working phone here, and soon. My girl needs it for work and Sprint's network in my area barely works from day to day (which they admit but don't credit my account for). This phone has problems sending/receiving calls, they claim it's fine, and I was forced to try a root to get some form of working device. That failed too.
I'm a newb at this...it's been years since I flashed a phone (Razor v3), so...any help would be appreciated, otherwise I have to crawl to sprint/samsung and get it replaced, which I don't want to do. Thanks.

What method are you using to root.....I used the "toolkit" and had no problems at all.

I thought it would to but I did not want to dig through 70+ pages of the thread when searching failed...unless I really needed to. Most of it is old and doesn't apply.
I was directed by the referenced Youtube vid. I used the options referenced for the phone in this thread with that toolkit. I backed up existing files (not as one unit, but internal files and I think OS), went for the option 2, followed the instructions and things went great through odin...until android went to update and started looping with the 'updating files' percentages. At that point I tried to restore to basic and started clearing caches and such and that is how I got to where I am.
When that failed I started looking at the leaked stock flash and that failed on shoot.ini which that guy never addressed because he thought his international version was all versions (that's why I choose 'doesitwork?' as screen name ). So i'm down to sideloading or something. I really need guidance, and I emailed the toolkit author but I'm still waiting on a reply.
Any thoughts?

When used the toolkit a year ago, I found that I had to turned off all firewalls and antivirus apps for it to work properly. Once I did that it worked fine....give it a shot...can't hurt......might even be able to repair what you've done so far.....Good Luck!!!
I'll give this my best shot...download a rooted rom from the development section and place it on your SD card.
Download toolkit from here (I take no credit for this) http://d-h.st/iu0
Put phone in download mode.
Open ODIN and uncheck "auto reboot". Then click "PDA" and add the .tar file (recovery).
Plug phone into PC (make sure to have samsung drivers installed).
Once ODIN sees the phone you can click "start".
When the recovery flash is complete, pull your battery to ensure power down.
Boot into recovery : volume up, home, power all at the same time.
Flash rooted rom.
Toolkit is an extra and unnecessary step.

Grab the one click flavor of choice. Use the one with 1090526 in the name as that's the full version.
Open in windows, put phone in download mode and flash. Easy Peasy.
Let me know if you have any issues with this.
Sorry for the late reply, I had some issues with the "catchpa".
The one click fix worked like a charm, thank you! I will soon be making a contrib to the site. It's a shame I couldn't root as easily :laugh: .
I know the level of work that goes into this stuff and the desire to keep on top of new gear while maintaining support for the old and I appreciate the community coming to my aid, so again, thank you!

It is usually a pretty common courtesy to hit the "thanks button" when someone helps you out.
I am not at all trying to be mean, just letting you know.

hello @garwynn im trying to do this same thing.. its been so long since ive odin'd, how would i put TWRP on this now after these steps? i tried goomanager and that didnt work. (couldnt find recovery) and i tried flashing in stock recovery and got a fail . im kind of lost right now and am wondering if there is another way or do i have to do the toolkit? thanks
edit: for some reason, the tool kit links have been pulled by a mod. ..but this video helped me get twrp back. phew. zedomax to the rescue.. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7leb9OznhqY
I just got this tablet a couple of days ago and I am having a lot of problems with it. None of the sprint apps are installed, and the "preparing network" thing just sits at the top of the screen and will not go away. I want to go and get it replaced, but it is hard to find a sprint store where I can park a 75 foot long truck. So I thought that the issues might be due to the firmware having errors or maybe a bad flash at the factory. I also am unable to update the PRL or the profile. I have been searching for answers to this problem for 2 days now.
Somebody please help!

I think that I finally resolved the issue. I had to do a complete factory reset.
***WARNING***
You will loose all of your data when you do the following reset.
I had to use a utility to retrieve the MSL. (I found it in another thread, but don't remember which one.)
Next I entered the following into the calculator app to get to the factory mode screen:
(+30012012732+
Then in the factory mode app I typed:
##786#
Then I entered the MSL and followed the prompts to reset.
The tablet rebooted, did an erase in recovery, rebooted again, then went through the initial setup and activation process. After that everything was good. I am waiting for all of my apps to reinstall now.
I was going to flash with Oden but my laptop is down now too. So the above mentioned method is the best.
Just so that everyone knows, by resetting the tab to bare bones and flashing the OEM Rom, it will set the tab to as new state, meaning you will have to enter all the information that was require when you first powered up the tab. So, if one were to go to download mode it will show original.
Ok, first of all, new to rooting and all that follows. However, I'm not new to forums and if this is in the wrong category, or if I overlooked a similar post, I am sorry. Feel free to redirect me to wherever you see fit. I know just too well how similar posts can be annoying, but I feel like I've exhausted Googlesearching and looked everywhere I can think of.
So, I have a Note II. N7100, Android 4.4.2 and I want to root it. Googlesearching has found me a lot of nice looking ROMs, and besides looks the added functions tempt me. Wont be long until I upgrade to a Note 4 or 5 anyway, figure I might as well. For what its worth, I live in Norway, and AT&T does not exist over here, nor does any other major american carrier. USB debugging was on the entire time.
I got the Odin V3.10, and appropriate clockworksmod files, and thought everything was peaches. Into download mode (after backing up ofc), Odin finds it, I upload everything and Odin says "PASS" in nice, green letters. When it reboots, it looks the same as before, but.. "Unfortunately, SuperUser has stopped", Titanium backup does not work since it apparently isnt rooted. Root Checker says the same. However, when checking for updates my phone displays "The operating system on your device has been modified in an unautorized way. Try downloading software updates using Samsung KIES on your PC, or visit a customer service center."
Read alot about devices having to be unlocked from carrier, however all google searches on "how to check for carrier lock on Note 2" yields numbersequences I have to input into the dialler and dial. None of the sequences give anything other than "Connection problem or invalid MMI code". I honestly dont remember if its carrier locked or not.
I came across an article here on XDA saying that with the later versions of android, KNOX has become an issue when trying to root, but someone had found a way around it. I downloaded MJ5BLPatch.tar.md5, uploaded to my phone via Odin, and here it fails, looses connection with the device and cant reconnect. Phone displays something alon the lines of "Invalid magic code" or the similar in red text.
I am the newb here, looking for help, and if I screwed up big somewhere I am cool with a little flaming. I just want to squeeze this for what use I can before upgrading, and probably rooting that too.
Any help as to how I can root it and load custom ROMs? I appreciate any and all help, sincerely.
Forget that MJ5 bootloader related stuff.
Reflash CWM using Odin and untick auto reboot, run through and reboot manually.
After reboot into recovery flash SuperSu.zip, start supersu after reboot system and disable knox by following the advices from app.
Thank you very much. i feel exceedingly stupid, I had been using the guide found on Note2root.com, when I applied step by step from this guide (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2143479) everything worked out. hope this may be of help to anyone having the same issues.
Again, thank you very much for your help.
Hello, first timer here. I have never tried rooting or anything, but today I finally decided to... and messed it up.
Verizon Samsung Note 2 SCH-i605 (yes, still.)
Got it on July 2nd, 2013, so I believe it was build 4.1.1 kernel 3.1? Not too sure on the legalities
Completely unrooted and unmodded
I was using kingo root and everything was fine until it hit about 52% on the rooting process when my computer lost connection with my phone. Since, it gave me the "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue" problem. So then I google-fu'd and followed directions of:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2040264

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2582290
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2024207
etc.
and used Odin 3.10.7 (and 3.10.0 just in case, both on and off admin mode cause why not) on every single md5 available in all those links and the one from sammobile.com for sch-i605.
And each time, I would either received failure on "sboot.bin" or receive the "System Software Not Authorized" error if succeeded (it was stuck in bootload? too, kept flashing the logo then the error message). The VERY first time, however, it actually brought me to that page where I'm allowed to press things like erase cache, factory reset, or reboot my phone. There, I chose all those options in the order I've listed them. And ever since I haven't seen that screen again.
My issue seems to be every problem I can find put together, and can't seem to resolve it with my skills alone. I honestly don't care about recovering my data (which I believe is impossible now anyway) or rooting my phone. I just want it to turn on again.
Thanks in advance.
p.s. getting a new phone isn't an option currently
-edit-
Checked my verizon wireless software upgrade assistant for some info, and it says "Up to date" and "Version ND3" if that means anything to you pros out there.

Greetings,
Thank you for using XDA Assist. To get you the best possible assistance, I'm going to move this thread to your device's Q&A forum. Good luck!
install kies and try flashing rom. do you have rom from i.e. sammobile? use different odin versions and do not mark repartition

KIES is unable to read my phone (tried the bottom 3 versions of it), and I've tried running Odin 3.07 and unchecked repartition for every stock and restore md5s I had for my phone... the ones that didn't fail sboot.bin are still giving me unauthorized error.
I'll keep trying all the combinations, but it seems moot at this point.
A friend on mines recently purchased a second hand smt900 tab pro.
it's got a live store demo firmware on it. Any ideas how I can get ride of this? Will it be a simple root and flash custom roms or will it be a little more tricky?
Obviously i don't wanna try and be the helpful friend and try to stick in the software and root that I know I can do if this software is gonna cause problems. It works fine now but won't update.
Cheers
Ian
I'd try Odin with a stock ROM
Apparently the demo modes locked on and it keeps reverting back no matter what. That's just what I am reading. I was wondering of anybody has flashed before I start messing about
Anybody? Help please Hello.
Pretty helpful information cheers people [emoji23] [emoji23] [emoji23]
Pretty sure this is what I used on mine. It's been a while but I used it recently on a tab 4 10"
