Hi
I would like to root my device but I would like to keep the original touchwiz 4.2.2 Jelly Bean which I'm using now. I haven't updated to KitKat.
What would I need to do? I have'nt rooted any devices yet.
Some step by step instructions would be appreciated.
Basically I want the tab to be rooted with the same version rom as it is now so I can get rid of annoying ads on webpages.

Hi everyone,
Just wondering if someone could dump the 4.1.1 version of the stock Android keyboard from their phone for me? I've searched for some hours now and cannot seem to find it anywhere on the interwebs.
I have a friend with an 4G Galaxy S3 who would like the factory keyboard, but I (un)fortunately got 4.1.2 OTA for my Nexus the other day and it doesnt want to install on the S3 running 4.1.1.
Cheers!
Download a CM9 ROM and get it from that...
I am thinking of rooting my note 2. I rooted and did all kinds of roms when it was on 4.1 but now that on the 4.3 I haven't with the d**n knox bs they added, my question is if I root and a new update like for 4.4 comes out can I unroot and do the update?
Thanks for the info in advance

I'm coming from the world of Nexus to the world of Samsung so naturally I have a few questions..
A bit of info about the note 3:
- purchased from a friend
- seems to be already rooted (there's superuser in the app drawer)
- running android 4.3 jelly bean with all the samsung and tmobile bloat wear
- phone seems to be unlocked (it recognized my Rogers sim card without a problem)
- not sure about KNOX status.. i download samsung knox warranty checker and it says 'unable to detect' bit. possible pre knox firmware installed?'
- android 4.3
- kernel 3.4.0-1670611
-baseband/bootloader: n900tuvubml7
build: jss15j
- its running CWM bootlader installed through the rom manager app
My questions
- I'd like to update this phone to either Kit Kat or Lollipop and I just wonder how I'd go about that?
- I want to keep all the Samsung bloatware as I use a lot of the Samsung options, and I dont really mind the tmobile stuff.. I want it as stock as possible
- I'd also like to keep the unlock, I'm pretty sure it's SIM unlocked.. will I have problems with the unlock? will I have trouble connecting to Rogers again? Do I need their APNs?
- 4.3 jelly bean is actually running super smoothly.. but its starting to feel out dated. I will admit that I wanna update for the sake of updating.. is it even worth it? Will the performance suffer? I'm thinking of only updating to KK
- Do I have to use Odin for stuff like that? with the nexus I'd usually just download the rom and use CWM to flash it
- Any ROMS you recommend that retain all the samsung options yet are fast and stable?
Hi
I am new to the root / rom update world of android.
My friend just gave me her GT-S7560M which is running 4.0.4. I can somehow able to root it by using Kingroot after searching hours on internet.
I found that there are some more advance android version like Jelly Bean and kitKat.
I keep searching the internet but only found that the bluetooth of the phone will be disable for those new system. (since I need bluetooth badly)
I found the below link and it seems to difficult to me, and just wonder are there any updated version that I can updated to ?(more advance than 4.0.4)

My phone was working fine before but after updating to official KitKat 4.4, phone started giving trouble like hanging problem, camera problem etc. So, I rooted my phone and installed custom rom - AllianceRom_N7100 on my samsung galaxy note 2. But i'm having trouble with this custom rom as well it is not working fine.
I just want to install stock google rom Jelly bean 4.2 on my note 2 because that was the most stable rom running without any trouble. I have read threads but i haven't found solution for myself yet. Can anyone please guide me how to do the same? Thanks in advance
Hi got the same problem before.. even brick my phone.. fortunately there is sammobile and download the stock rim plus odin then problem solved. . Just register to sammobile anyways it's free.. hope this helps
