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.

Telus firmware with Telus phone
Regers firmware with Rogers phone

Just change the APNs to the desired network and you should be fine.

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.

Hello All I have a new S4 mini (I9195 UK Vodafone) that I am trying to root but odin keeps stalling at getting pit for mapping.
I have tried all the methods in the main post by arco68, plus any others I have come accross.
The phone works and boots into download and recovery modes, is my bootloader locked?
Can Odin detect your phone? Try installing the latest Samsung USB Drivers.

Yes Odin detects my phone and i have the latest drivers
That sounds odd. Maybe some other Vodafone users can confirm whether they have successfully rooted their mini.
My old xperia arc s from them had the bootloader locked.
Sorry to bump but are there no vodafone uk users to confirm successful rooting ?
I have successfully rooted my s4 mini using the http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2364980 method and I am on Vodafone. It's not a vodafone branded phone though, is that what you mean?
Hello yes it's a contract phone

Hi o/
Hopefully you guys can help me, a noob (video just said I was one lol).
I was about to follow the rooting steps from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2364980 but I noticed that my phone is called I9195T instead of I9195. Its firmware is I9195TDVUAMH1 as opposed to I9195XXUAMH1 mentioned in that thread.
Can I still follow those rooting steps, or are those devices different in some significant way? My google-fu failed to find any info about how "T" is different.
Thanks!
try again

Depending on the version of Android you have on that phone, it will trip the Knox flag. Which won't affect the performance of the phone, but will indicate you messed with your phone. There may be other rooting methods that work, but this one worked for me.
BTW, I found that method by using Search on this forum and Google.

The safe root method is how i rooted with 4.3 but it is my understanding that you need your phone to be unlocked to use a different carrier. Unlocked and rooted are 2 different things.

Unlocked sop I can use whatever carrier I want.
Rooted Because I want control over my pohone and not somebody else saying what I can and cant do with it.
I can get it to bot in cwm recovery but thats all it won't rot the rom so I can see it its rooted or not. I followed eth entire instructions provided and used oden like it said to and all I suceded in doing was makeing a damn brick out of a phone I got to have running tomorrow morning

If you can get into Download mode (Power Off, then Volume Down+Power Button), then you'll need to download the Stock Rom and transfer it to your phone via ODIN. Do you know if you were 4.2, 4.3, or 4.42 before you bricked it? You can download the images from Sammobile.com

If you have access to ClockWork Mod Recovery, wipte the cache and dalvik and see if that lets it boot.
If not, just download a rom, any rom from the dev section that you want to try and put it on a micro SD card. Put the SD card in your phone.
Do a full wipe (data, system, cache, dalvik) in recovery and flash the downlaoded ROM file. Your phone should boot right up.
You'll want a TouchWiz based rom if you still need to perform the SIM unlock proceedure so you can use it on the Cricket network. But once step at a time here...

Thats cause it wasn;t rooted before, hopefully it is now, cause my wife just went to Cricket to see if she can get her Iphone and mine on their network
I finally got the phone rooted but I screwed it up so bad I had to install a different rom to make it work, so not I'm roted and running wicked rom .Next I installed, updated and ran region away, it said it didn;t know if it worked or not, but I was told that it does unlock so hopefully it did.
I havea different S4 here ( SGHM919) that I'm gonna try the cf auto root on when the battery is fully charged, cause both my sons have S4's and they want to keep the rom they have now just be unlocked
If you were looking at cwm recovery then you most likely have root.

Thank you gentlemen, my phone is working again, rooted, currently running wicked rom, all the other phones are rooted with the stock roms for the kiddies unless they want to have a better rom
Region away works perfectly on mine even though it says it doesn't know if it did.
I was going to use triangle away, but it says something about bricking my phone and I really don't give a damn about the counter so ........
PanchoPlanet, Google is NOT my friend when it comes to phones XDA id my friend when it comes to phones
Now to go look for the stock memo pad that comes with the S4, I like that one best its simple and works
I too prefer Memo Pad, it's quick and simple, my reference to Google was that its quicker than the XDA search and more accurate. Good to hear your back on track.

I found Smemo on line, took a while since I'm on oxycodone for pain due to a hernia operateing, but I got it, placed it in eth rom and reflashed it
Now I'd love to find a theme for Wicked V10 that would change teh color of the phone dialpad, I HATE white dialers, makes me remember when I was a kid back in teh 60' when my mom had nothing but white so she could see if it was clean, and sanitized, degermed, and all that, ( yes I was an outside type, and brought it all inside )
Oh and all I can say guys, is thanks for trying to help me I WILL figure it out for the firmware and hardware and software that I have, experimenting with a phone that I totally bricked today, gotta re-instal the entire os on it, so I'm gonna experiment with various versions of the SGH-M919 software, if I find out what works on what I'll post it for you guys to check and make sure I did right

Basically you seem to have tried everything at least that I can think of.
Are Bluetooth and Gps working for you?
Try flashing another ROM like Ditto Note 4 and see if it is working.
Ravi.
Yup. Both bluetooth n gps is working fine.
I have also tried wififix frim dr.ketan but failed with version conflict. Suspect thats because my bootloader is much newer. Is there a fix for latest bootloader??
Sent from my GT-N7100 using XDA Free mobile app
I am not sure and I was thinking about downgrading the bootloader too as older bootloaders are incompatible with 4.4.4 kitkat but don't think it would be the other way round.
It could probably brick the device and downgrading a bootloader is generally never recommended.
It would be worthwhile to flash a Rom of kitkat 4.4.4 version and see if you get back your wifi as per my previous post.
If you liked my post, please hit the thanks / thumbs up button.
Ravi.
I have search thru the forum n most point to a boot loader issue. Thats why i m already on latest bootloader but my wifi still stuck....anyone have the same problem?

Hi, I'm in the soft-brick syndrome.
This is my first go at rooting my phone (SM-N910A) - at least i was smart enough to try it after i upgraded
anyhoo, i researched and read. i installed my usb drivers, odin, and downloaded the suggested firmware. i couldn't talk between my computer and phone; so, i tried kingroot - big mistake. it failed in the middle and now i'm getting a startup error that says secure fail: kernel, then the blah, blah, blah go to AT&T store blah blah blah.... error.
i finally was able to reinstall the usb drivers and believe that odin can talk to my phone, but i receive a fail message when i try to install the firmware.
what to do? please help.

hey pal im in the sameboat ,and like you i also made the fatal mistake of using kingroot. only cause i used it on SM-E700M and worked fine so i tried it on the note 4 and now i have no clue what to do next should i try to re root it again or maybe try to install the lolipop system it came with or do i try to upgrade or maybe try and install original firmware i can really use your advice what do you think?
no progress yet. i tried loading 5.1.1 and the original version (4.4.x ... whatever it was). both failed. i think that i might be approaching the issue incorrectly.
i think that i might have rooted the phone but tripped knox - when i startup i see in icon of a padlock that's open and it says custom underneath. but i get the error stating about non-standard software installed. i'm going to continue to research and see if i can figure out how to reset / remove knox.
i saw that there was someone who went back to ATT to have them reset the phone ... does anyone know whether they'll do it? at least i could have the phone at a "ready" state to try again ... after more research and prep. ;- )
not real progress, but...
i researched some more and feel as if i made some progress with odin3v1.85.
i followed directions from this article: How to Unroot / Unbrick Balaxy Note 4 (i found on the androidrootz site - sorry, i'm not allowed to post a url yet)
so, i'm still bricked, but this process was able to communicate with my phone and reported that flashing the firmware was successful.
incremental progress ... maybe ...
my solution
while i would have preferred to be able to figure it out, i couldn't.
i took the phone to AT&T today and they re-imaged it. all is clear and it's back to factory settings - no cost.

I took mine into the store. They reimaged it for free. No issue.
Where I live it's like 60 miles to a corp store. She's working mint now I'd like to bring the OS back to 4.4.4 and try it again.

Unfortunatly, once you are on 5.1.1 there is no downgrading back to 4.4.4. Many have tried, non have suceeded. Am I saying it is impossible, I do not believe anything is impossible, but right now we do not have the right tools. Take care.
Yah. I tried had to reinstall the 5.1.1 firmware again. 17step procedure is a lil more than im capable of. Think the note 4 is getting sold. Moto x pure or another nexus. Thanks you guys on here it's where I got the firmware.

Thank you for your input. After searching for literally a full day and trying several different things to no avail....yours was the one that unbricked my phone. Thank you....Thank you!
Yah I wouldn't try anymore to root, if theres a huge bounty and none of these smart cookies here on xda haven't got it yet. The 910a variant is unrootable perm root that is, the. Mobile version you can. Glad it helped and your up and running again.
