I was going to use CS-Auto-Root but just had a couple questions. After reviving the tablet today, I did numerous updates. Would CF root still work with the new software? The only thing diffrent I can see is the build numberm does that matter? Details below, and thanks!
Model #: SM-T700
Android Version: 4.4.2

Numerous updstes? Anyways, try it, if it soft brivks your Tab S, just flash the stock firmware with Odin.
It shouldn't soft brick it most likely. If it fails it will just revert back to stock recovery and not give you root. Try cfautoroot first then try rooting with twrp.

Hi everyone, new android user here! I'll try to make this as brief as possible:
Recently purchased a used Unlocked Galaxy S3.
Currently using Bell Carrier on it and it works fine.
I noticed that even after restoring SuperSU was installed.
Checked download mode -> odin installed with custom binary
Checked to see if the phone has root access -> it does not
I wanted to try and flash it with a official ROM to completely restore factory settings but I don't know what the original carrier is so I don't know what ROM to download. I called a couple carriers but they have no record of the IMEI.
I'm fairly new to android and my past two days of google searching hasn't accomplished anything relative to my problem (although I know a lot more about the rooting community!) so I thought I'd ask here.
Is there any way to know what's going on here?
Can I restore the phone to factory firmware/ROM/etc.?
Here is some phone information:
Model: SGH-I747M
Android Version: 4.1.1
Baseband: I747MVLDLK4
Kernel: 3.0.31-538866
Build Number: JRO03L.I747MVLDLK4
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Just go and download this program http://www.samsung.com/ca/support/usefulsoftware/KIES/JSP
Go to Tools > Firmware Install and Initialization
It will ask you for your model number and Serial number. It will use those to determine what stock ROM is correct for your phone.
It will then flash you to stock, just as Odin would, including the stock recovery.

It definitely looks like you are on the stock Jelly Bean firmware from Samsung. I747M is the Canadian model (747 is ATT). Your build number also looks to be the stock 4.1.1 based on the DLK4 build number! Just as the last guy said, grab kies or use Odin to go back to complete stock if you are not happy with what you have now. If your phone is showing custom binary flashes and you want to get rid of that, give Triangle Away a try! Good luck. :good:

Thank you! That worked like a charm! The device is now in a "normal" state and the binaries are "official".

Thanks for the advice! I'm not too concerned about the flash count, that's only really important your warranty to to be valid, right? But I'll look into it, it may be worth it anyway.
Thanks again everyone!
I need some guidance.
I rooted my wife's phone when she first got it a couple of years ago and it hasn't really received many updates since then. Lately she's been saying that the phone is sluggish. I was thinking about unrooting and just doing a factory reset and going back to stock.
I need guidance on how to unroot and go back to stock having the following systemn info:
Model: SPH-L900
Android Version: 4.1.2
Baseband Version: L900VPAMC2
Kernel version: 3.0.31-903705

I have watched the videos using Odin and a tar file. I downloaded Odin but I have no idea what tar file to use with my baseband version.
Thanks for your help.

So I take it if you are in this section of the forum you are using a SPRINT Galaxy Note II which has the model number SPH-L900. Before you follow any of my advice, please check under "settings" "about this device" to make sure that is the case.
I recently unrooted my phone to upgrade to KitKat, and that video has correct instructions, but one link is broken, which is the tar file for the OS. Just go to samsung-updates and search for that model (SPH-L900) number and download the file (be warned, the file download is excruciatingly slow), then load that file into odin. The version you want should be "L900VPUCNE2". Download that, apply it with Odin, and your phone should go to KitKat and be unrooted.
Again, be careful, back up your data and so on, because I'm not in your shoes and its possible to brick your device doing it.
Yes I do have the Sprint version that you reference.
Do you know the link to the video that you used? Since she's been rooted I never updated her firmware so she's still on 4.1.2, might be cool to update her to kit kat.
I was trying to root my device through Odin.. i found a couple different things though this forum to flash through TWRP but none worked, it seems I have the wrong device and noone has made one compatible with it. Anyway, my system status is changed from Original to Custom and my build number has changed. I am trying to change it back to the stock recovery... and back to normal. I cant find any downloads for this. Could someone please direct me. My normal build number, version, and other info that I need a stock for:
Build number: kot49h.t310ueucnk1
Version: 4.4.2
SM-T310
Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 8.0
I'd really appreciate it if someone did this for me, because multiple apps seem to not work...

Nothing will happen if you change the build number, but if you still want to change it search for your device and look for its build number
example": Samsung galaxy tab 3 sm-t310 build number.

Hm... Strange. Have you tried doing a factory data reset? that may help since there was stuff put into your system... at least I think. Or you could look for a stock firmware and flash it via odin. Also, since you do have a custom recovery you can flash root via the custom recovery and then you'll gain root then you can unroot to fix the problems. I never really had this problem but you can try those steps and maybe it will work. Can you tell me if you tried any of these steps and if it work?
I have just received a Verizon Note 4 from a friend which had a stock, untampered with v6.0 on it.
I downgraded it to 5.1.1 and have been trying for over 2 days now to get it to root. I have KingOroot and Kingroot both and most times it says root was successful but the root checker says it wasn't. I have tried at least 30+ times to get this to work. I have even went forward with minimal adb without running the root check and gotten up to the point entering the $ su step and then nothing! Most times it won't even get that far.
I cannot figure out what's wrong?? I even tried one click root but it says it cannot work on my device.
I have the following

I have been rooting phones for years and I have NEVER come across one like this.
Is there a custom or stock ROM that is already rooted I can flash maybe?
Any assistance would be GREATLY appreciated
Thanks
Tom
I had same problem. Once I succeeded on BPA1 firmware but KNOX seemed to have interfered with the root, phone rebooted and root was lost. It seems only the developer version is rootable with Chainfire's auto root.
Would it help if I downgraded further to 4.x.x maybe? I was able to downgrade from 6.0.1 to 5.1.1.
Any suggestions?
Thanks
Tom
Hello all!
I FINALLY just finished rooting my Verizon Note 4 after several days of trying. The instructions are very detailed and I tried to follow them to the T, except I ran into a couple of minor differences when my phone went to TWRP and it was a little confusing.
The other problem was when I was using Kingroot or KingORoot, for some reason there was a message that was not popping up asking if I wanted to allow the rooting process to go forward or something, but I finally spotted it this last time, hit allow and it FINALLY let me get Odin to run completely and I am rooted!! I think the problem was I didn't have the SIMM card in and the stupid window telling me I didn't have the SIMM installed was blocking it or whatever. This issue should be added to the instructions.
Just wanted to let anyone who was trying to help that I got it rooted!
Now I need to figure out if I should stay with 5.1.1., or can I upgrade back to 6.0.1 or flash a custom ROM or what to do next before I switch my SIMM and start using the N4 permanently? I'm fortunate that my old Note 2 is still working barely until I decide what to do? I also need to transfer all my text messages and apps to the new N4, but not sure if I can do it with the back to back method or if I should just do it manually?
Any suggestions would be great!
Thanks again to all!

I got it downgraded and rooted finally. Now, would you know whether I should stay with 5.1.1 or upgrade back to 6.1, if that's even possible without losing root? There's some features on this version I don't particularly like compared to 4.2 but I can live with it. I'm hoping 6.1 win be better...

Hi, I've got this one Note 4 that's had loads of trouble presumably since the last security update.
Baseband Version: N910AUCS2EQD1
Android: 6.0.1
Have seen the instructions and all as to how to go about downgrading BUT one site I came across with the original stock firmware downloads outright state how:
""DO not ever try to downgrade from any newest Android 6.0.1 Marshmallow updates back to an older 6.0.1 build version""
'and so I'm lost. Should trying to then reinstall the same Baseband version atop what's already there a good first alternative? ...that is, just in case it was never upgraded properly in the first place? Or is that not even possible?
Is trying to downgrade at all a futile pursuit?
Would truly appreciate any suggestions, help, direction...heck, anything! Thanks in advance.
I downgraded from 6.0.1 epk5 to 5.1.1 with no problem.
Not sure about qd1.
As long as you have the odin firmware, I see no problem.
Can i downgrade note 4 n910a from marshmallow to lollilop,please help me i am in great trouble because marsmallow update is very bad with a lot of reboot issue ,battery drain.
Once you are on QD1 you will not be able to go back to anything lower than that firmware. The bootloader is now at the latest version and has blown one of those imaginary "e-fuses" so that you can not go back in time to any other vulnerable OS. I just tried today to go from EQD1 to EPK5 and It would not flash and would fail every time whilst using the latest Odin. So good luck on finding anything on getting you back to another firmware version but at this time I do not believe there is anything that will move you back to the firmware you want. If you do happen to find something or make your own exploit do tell @sanaullahkhan371 If you are on QD1 you are not going to be able to downgrade if you are on PK5 you can try the Odin downgrade method that will5 presumably used but if you are not in this firmware use case you are SOL.

Hi,
Can you please let me know how did you downgrade? Is it straight away flash to 5.1.1 or did you follow any steps?
I am also planning to downgrade. Anyways, I stopped using Note 4 after update to 6.0.1 as it was switching off every now and then due to update. Might as well make this phone usable to take photos and as a video player for my kid
Thanks

I just odin to this firmware N910AUCU2DOI2-5.1.1 It s available somewhere on this forum.
Read how to odin if you never used it. In this case you need to unzip the file and load AP, BL, CP and CSC files on odin and flash.
Was running 6.0.1 epk5 previously.

Were you ever able to flash back to an older version from QD1? Others have said that the bootloader was not incremented in QD1.

I'm also on EQH1. I have never tried to downgrade. I was just curious if it was possible, in case a root method was discovered that only worked on older versions. But I've just learned to live without root. EQH1 works fine for me.
I had the infamous freeze/reboot/shutdown issue with 6.0.1 and I wasn't sure if that was the issue but I downgraded to 5.1 and have fewer issues now. The phone runs just fine, except it does not reboot. You have to do a soft reset every time. But with the Wakelock app, at least it runs.
