[Q] T217a - Galaxy Tab 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

ive had this tablet a few months now and rooted it almost immediately with kingo but have yet to see any Roms for it...can someone tell me if the T217s roms work on it and if thats why im not seeing any specifically for the at&t variant?
seems like this tab isnt getting any love as far as custom roms go and that makes me :crying:

T217A has a locked bootloader. That means you can't flash roms/recoveries unless someone makes a safestrap version for that device (and that doesn't seem likely to happen at this point).

Compatible Custom roms Galaxy Note 2 LTE GT-N7105

I rooted my phone and found very few roms were available for my phone (UK Galaxy Note 2 LTE GT-N7105) I ventured over to AT&T Galaxy Note 2 Android Development forum to find more custom roms. After asking around found couple so far which I have tested myself as follows:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1986893 This is my favourite and developer is very helpful, highly recommended.

I'm too nervous to try AT&T roms on the HK phone. I bricked my Note 1 twice using wrong roms.
Not sure how reliable this is, but is says here that AT&T AND TMobile roms will work.
Anyone ready to try? From what I have read, the hardware is the same, it's just a couple things like the modem and kernel you have to remember about.
In fact, there is a ROM in the TMobile section that I am looking at right now, and the Dev says his ROM will work.... Read it here
I now use the RootBox ROM... Man its GREAT! haha i love the Tablet UI and customisation thats avaliable

This rom is also suitable no major issues.

What is with the HK Note II being treated differently?
I keep reading people saying that you can't flash the stock firmware to the Note II LTE if it's a HK one. Why not? it's still a GT-N7105.
What's different about it??
(I have one and want to know!)
i don't know, but my HK version is so picky about custom Roms. The only one that I can find so far that will run on it so far is Paranoid JB.
What happens when you try other ROMs?
And are you sure it's a N7105?
Sent from my GT-N7105 using Tapatalk 2
The phone flickers on the Samsung screen and then blacks and never finishes loading. I either have to reload stock or the Paranoid to use it.
But you have another N7105 that works fine?
Can you provide some more details, at the moment it's just another anecdotal "Doesn't work"

Upgrading Android OS ? SGN2

I just bought my note 2 and don't want to root or anything like my Gnex. It comes with 4.1.1 out the box, does anyone know how I can force upgrade the OS without rooting or having to wait for the carrier. Otherwise can someone point me in the right direction.
Thanks

First of all, you have to root and install a custom ROM if you want something other than what you have. Without root, you're waiting for your carrier.
What upgrade are you looking for? The only one Samsung has done for the phone is 4.1.2, which you won't find to be a jaw dropping upgrade. 4.2 is available on a number of ROMs, but without Touchwiz.
Have a bad experience rooting? Tweaked and other TW ROMs are stock but better in a number of ways.

They need to make a new sub forum the 217 and 215 aren't the same they have qcom cpu msm8930 and are faster plus they have lte and nfc . The regular Sm-t21X vary to having wifi , ir, nfc ,and 3g . They still have the Marvell CPU though.

I'm really concerned. I have plenty of great Rom options that I have been flashing on my phone, but there isn't too much happening for this tablet. I bought it 3 weeks ago, and have done all I can to theme it. I rooted, installed cwm, Xposed with several different theming modules, and flashed comadose tweaks. There isn't anything left now, except hope that a Dev gets a hold of this tablet and creates something nice.
Rom
I see lots of posts saying there isn't much available. I can't find anything. Does anyone have a link to a rom other than what comes on it?
Thanks

Verizon SM-T807V Root?

Hi I was just wondering about the Verizon version of this tablet SM-T807. I just got this one from VZW, and I've searched everywhere to try and understand what root methods are available and it's proving to be kind of confusing. I've rooted all my phone's for the past 4-5 yrs Droid, several Samsungs, LG..and have never had to ask a question on any of the threads here...I have plenty of experience using Odin, ADB...etc and alot of other tools. But everything I find seems to be for the 800, 805, or 807 for Sprint and ATT. The Verizon rep started the lollipop upgrade before I left the store, so I hadn't been able to try the unified tool or any other possible methods since I need to downgrade to KitKat to make it all alot easier. So I guess my question is, is there any method that may work for my tab now that's running 5.0.2, and if not is there an Odin-able image for the VZW variant to flash back to stock? I just keep reading conflicting info from different places and don't wanna brick it beyond repair. Thanks for any help.

That rep has just killed any chance you had of getting root.
There are no other root methods available for your device.
I don't think the Verizon tablet has root for KitKat either?
I started looking into this last night also since I'm considering Verizon as my next carrier.
That's what I was afraid of. Thanks for the reply.

is there any root to date that works, i still have a 4.4.2 and i just got the tab today.
Im going to get forced into the update sometime in the next day or so now that the tablet downloded it.
I've spend 6 hours so far trying to root this.
No luck so far.

Just copy the update to another folder then disable any more future updates. Updates are not compulsory.
What have you used to root, there are several options for root.

Well when you come up with the bootloader unlocking method you'll be a hero.
I wish this could be downgraded to kitkat, the lollipop on t807v is causing problems with my touch screen and I have read a lot of comments from users facing a touchscreen problem after the upgrade. Lets pray its sooner !
Thanks
My t807v is freezing a lot too. I bought it on eBay and thought it was defective but it seems to be a widespread problem I'm going to try to take it to Verizon and ***** at them because mine freezes every 10 seconds or so. Makes it unusable.

It can't be rooted without a system exploit.
It took 2 years to exploit the verizon note 4, shouldnt be much longer on the 807V
Is there any update on this? Do we have a stock rom to downgrade to 5.5 available
