BIG Noob Questions
Hi, I am unfamiliar with Samsung Phones. I currently have a LG phone without all this stuff about variants. I have a Rogers phone but I am unlocking it to run on Telus. That said can I run a Telus rooted firmware? Or does it not really matter what firmware is on the phone. Is it worth while to update the radio?
Sorry for all the questions. Thanks for any answers that you can give.

Sorry the question was not specific enough. I was only saying I currently have a LG phone. The questions were regarding the SGSIII.

DMF1977, I tried your way. I downloaded Odin and root66_ATT_I747UCDLK3.tar. As soon as I loaded the root66 file, I didn't even get a chance to hit start, both times Odin froze. Then I saw "Check MD5....Do not unplug the cable...Please wait". I had no choice but to shut my phone down because Odin froze and wasn't doing anything. I tried it twice. Then after I unplugged and shut my phone down I saw this in the box " root66_ATT_I747UCDLK3.tar.md5 is valid. Checking MD5 finished successfully. Leave CS..."
I remember last year having a problem with Odin conflicting with something on my laptop when I rooted my Captivate. I ended up having to root it a different way.

It was easy except when Odin froze. I've seen other people have issues with Odin and Kies conflicting. Everything else on the computer was shut down when I did this.

I'm sorry, I don't know how else to help, other than try again or try a different method. I've heard casual was pretty easy, but I couldn't get it to work, so I went a different way.

FYI, for anyone that is reading this i finally figured it out, the only app i could get to work is "WiFi Tether Router" in the Play Store
it does cost 1.49 however its better then 10 a month
Notes:
Go through all the settings and set them up for Method use "3 - HostApd"
Play Store: WiFi Tether Router

Not working for me!

If you can access download mode, it's nothing serious.
Head into http://sammobile.com or http://samsung-updates.com and look for your phone's model name. They have firmware for pretty much any device so hopefully they have some for yours.

So the only thing that freaks me out is all these region codes... I dont see one for USA...Now what lol

I have the exact same phone and the exact same problem. Kies (via USB) recognizes there is a SPH-L520 connected but won't actually connect to it. I asked Samsung for the appropriate drivers (none are listed on the webpage for the device) but Samsung says there aren't any drivers for the SPH-L520. Kies does connect my SPH-L520 and my PC via WiFi, though. And, despite having enabled Developer Mode and USB Debugging, Kingo fails every time. Any ideas?

Try this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2565758
It is also where Kingo originally got their method from, I wouldn't trust them too much if I were you. The best thing about the above method is, if it can't root the phone, it won't touch anything. If it can - it won't trigger the Knox. I tried on my JB 9190 and works. Unless you have a locked bootloader... that would complicate things.

hello guys is there a way to unlock samsung gs4 sprint to gsm been searching around cant find a good answer cos the phone seems to have a sim slot. also can it be flashed to cdma if the gsm potion wont work. thanks

If you're on NA7 as a few of us seem to be, you're screwed I believe unless someone comes up with a recovery we can flash through odin or kies. I would like to be wrong about that, but I haven't found otherwise.

The stinkers! I thought I read that Sprint was coming out with an upgrade to JB4.3 for us S4 Mini users, but it hasn't been pushed to my phone yet like the WiFi calling upgrade was. Think that might alleviate the Knox-blocks problem if/when it occurs?

Why would that alleviate it? Knox is here to stay. Very doubtful any update is going to remove it. Lately it's all about locking things down.

Help - rooting latest firmware (Never rooted before)

As the title suggests
I've just bought an OUYA and I stupidly updated it to the latest firmware and now that I want to root the thing it appears from a significant amount of "googling" that this is not currently possible.
Can anyone confirm if im stuck or if this is still possible to do could someone please point me in the direction of a guide?
I've tried installing RootMyOuya.1.1.apk and it refuses to install
thanks

Find "towelroot-v2.apk" not v3 or later. still working! I tried today.

Ok, I can confirm that you can root a virgin OUYA on chickcharney patch2 using towelroot v1 (im sat playing Hearthstone now!)
install and run towelroot v1 apk
install and run su - obtained via ouyatoolbox
install cwm via oneclick
--optional
install xposed framework
install Mod Collection for OUYA
turn off auto updates
install google play
if anyone wants files and a bigger/deeper guide let me know and i'll write one up

Ur the best man!! Will play around with this after ive finished installing xp on my laptop, you think it might work better?

I can't remember what site it was but last night I came across a post about people trying to root the ouya with newest firmware. It took a little time( install time) but it was pretty easy. First download and install the android SDK( it takes awhile but I couldn't find the ouya ABD interface drivers anywhere else) and then download and install kingo. It rooted my ouya no problem. And that you need the exposed installed. Don't get the latest version. The newest is ***********v32.zip I think. You want v29.zip and of course you'll need ps4ouya.zip as well. If you use the v32.zip the play store won't work. I think that should help a lot of people. I know this isn't the clearest explanation but I don't clams to be an expert lol

I need some help rooting Samsung tab 3 7.0 [SM-T217S]

So I already have Clockwork Recovery installed but I can not get SuperSU to work. I'm in the process of returning it to stock recovery.
It's Kit Kat 4.4.2, if anyone has a tutorial to link me to or can tell me how to go about doing this I'd be extremely grateful.

Ok, so since you have clockwork recovery there is a few extra ways for you to actually root the tablet.
1.) You can find a flashable root .zip for samsung galaxy tab 3 4.4.2 (model number) however, I failed to find this on google or bing so you may have some troubles.
2.) Use odin. You have google so just search how to do i
3.) Use this different link. It may help. Teaches you how to root the tablet.

Hm. I think I see the problem. Did you use that stock rom one or did you flash a root? Either way you most likely flashed/odin the wrong OS/root for your tablet. Try again but make sure you use your right tablet. Or can you actually tell me what you did because I do not know what you did to fix it.

[Q] Help Needed for Newbie

Hi to all
I have the Galaxy Tab S 10.5 bronze non Wi-Fi. the Tab is rooted and now that I want to update firmware to lollipop it says that my Tab has been altered.
My question is do I need to unroot to get the new firmware and if so how do I do this. All help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks Paul

Non WiFi? They're all WiFi. :what:
I take it you're trying to ota. You can update via kies (smart switch) or use odin. The firmware is available at sammobile or Samsung updates or if you're lucky a fast mirror maybe posted here.

If you have root or custom recovery you will not be able to update with smart switch you will have to download lolliepop firmware and use Odin to flash it.

Hi been away for a couple of weeks so first of all I would like to thank all that replied with suggestions.
Now I have downloaded the Lolipop file I have a couple of questions.
1) If I now update via Odin will this then make the tab unrooted again once the official Lollipop is loaded. The reason I ask this is because since rooting my device I cannot use my Sky Sports app or my Virgin Tv Anywhere app.
2) If the answer to question 1 is no, then how would I go about unrooting the Tab.
Thanks Paul

Yes, It will unroot your device.

Thanks for the quick reply.

It will unroot your device but it will NOT erase your data.
All user's data (settings, accounts, installed apps, files) will be preserved.

So I finally updated my tab tonight. Everything went smoothly, Checked software update and it says android 5.02 your device is up to date. Then the first problem I came across was that my Sky Sports app still says that it will not run on a rooted device. Do I need to do anything else to show this tab as non rooted. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

You probably should have unrooted first as there will be some residual files in data. The sky sports app is quite clever at detecting root.
You probably just need to wipe data.

Please use my app Phone INFO ☆Samsung☆, and check for the 'Root Existence' info in the ANDROID tab to see if it shows Yes or No?
There are several ways to detect if the device was rooted. I'm not sure how the Sky Sports app works.
