I opened the box on my new Galaxy Tab 12.2 SM-T900 today. I immediately rooted it with CF-Auto-Root-v2wifi-v2wifixx-smt900.zip. That worked fine. But before I rooted it there was a notification of an OTA update, so I unrooted and did the OTA update. That went fine as well. But then I attempted to root using the same file, odin got stuck at writing the cache. I tried it several times, but no go.
Having run out of time, I pulled the battery and set it aside to deal with tomorrow. It would be great if some one could point me to the correct image to flash to bring the device back to life.
As background, my last Samsung device was a Vibrant that I flashed repeatedly. Back then I didn't need to select a ROM, as there was a dev section full of them. Now I need a pointer to the correct firmware, and maybe some words of wisdom. I think the original firmware was NB5, and the OTA was ND2. I'm afraid that I was too excited to b quite organized enough to write this stuff down.
I'm uncertain whether I would prefer to flash back to the original and root, or flash to the newer firmware and wait and hope for the root issue to be resolved by Chainfire. Suggestions?
Try flashing the recovery from sm-p900 from this post, the one with the filename ending with "b3", then try to root agajn. Should work after that.

If not, install Kies 3 and do an emergency restore. It will ask for your serial# and download the correct rom and flash it back to stock

Thanks! I'll give that a shot. But a question before I do something really dumb. Where does this recovery tar file go in odin? PDA?
Yep always PDA

Worked! I now have rooted KOT49H.T900UEUAND4.
Good stuff

OK. Here comes the "but". It turns out that I cannot connect over SSL. Wifi works, I have an IP, I can brows non-secure websites. But I cannlt connect to anything https, nor will apps like Google Play connect.
Do we think this is related, or should i start a new thread?
UPDATE: I wiped data and now all is fine. The really interesting thing that I've noticed is that the Device Status is showing as "Official".
JJMT - you are rooted and it says official? Can you go through the exact steps you used please? Is KNOX enabled?

Yes. I am rooted and it says official. What's more, it checks for updates, although who knows what will happen when one shows up.
What I have is the ND4 firmware with the NB5 recovery. To get to this state:
1. OTA to ND4.
2. Boot into download mode. Flash the NB3 recovery. (P900XXUANB3-RecoveryImg.tar) It will reboot automatically.
3. Boot into download mode. Flash the root file. (CF-Auto-Root-v2wifi-v2wifixx-smt900.tar.md5). It will reboot automatically.
4. Boot into recovery mode. Wipe data/factory reset.
I believe at this point we are done. If you do this and it doesn't come up "official", then there must be something peculiar in the back-story. I am happy to answer questions.
UDATE: Forgot to mention - KNOX was disabled by SuperSU.
Thanks for the instructions. OTA done. I am going to give the rest a shot later tonight. I wonder though if using the B5 recovery for the T900 wouldn't be safer. It was posted later in the same thread referenced above by TweakerL (post #344 pg35). Going to give that a shot vice using the P900 recovery. What do you think?

I think I would have done that if I had known there was a B5 recovery image available. The guidance that I was given was to flash the B3 image from the P900. And that *did* work fine. Before there was a root flash for the T900, people were using the P900 root with success. Don't know that there is much difference. In the end, either way, you will end up with a B5 recovery image, as that is what Chainfire included in the T900 root file.
Well I got everything ready and instead of flashing the B5 image, I just flashed the root image from Chainfire. I didn't even think about what I was doing because that's such a normal process. Anyway, everything went off without a hitch. Rooted and rebooted in 10 seconds. Device now says custom however and I can't check for updates. That's fine though because all I wanted was root and I have ND4.

Which file from Chainfire did you flash? Was it CF-Auto-Root-v2wifi-v2wifixx-smt900.zip? For me, flashing that after OTAing to ND4 left me unable to boot. Maybe that got fixed in the past couple of day?
Yes it was that file off chainfire's site. Either something got fixed or the fact that I wasn't rooted before the OTA??

That's the problem I've been writing about for a week. The new OTA update (t900ueuand4) doesn't work with auto-root and crashes exactly where yours did.

Just re-downloaded the chainfire file and it's identical to the file I got 10 days ago dated May 10th. If you had success flashing it with the firmware t900ueuand4 installed at the time of rooting, then I'll give it a shot too.

All I had to do, was stop after 3. Didn't require a factory reset. Everything is great
The same here. Used the Note 12 recovery mod to unbrick the tablet.
Flashed the CF-Auto-Root-v2wifi-v2wifixx-smt900.tar.md5 and it works. :good:
Now oor Samsung tablet pro 12.2 is rooted.

I ran into a similar issue except my device came up to an error regarding firmware upgrade failed, use kies to recover. I could not get this to work with kies 3. Searching the threads, I found your post. Worked beautifully. The failed attempt did trip Knox. Not sure I care.
Thanks!
I got a Galaxy S3 SPH-L710 and it was all ready updated to the L710VPUDOH1 baseband version. After searching around a little bit I noticed that most of the Roms are for baseband L710VPUDND8 and that some of the ND8 roms would not flash correctly.
I guess maybe i found a workaround for this. When i first tried to flash the CM 12.1 Rom I got error and it did not load. Did not hurt anything either. Was a little tricky getting initial root but got it all working.
Figured id share how i accomplished this in case someone else with the L710VPUDOH1 baseband wants to run the other Roms.
First i tried to root with Odin and the supersu.zip but it didnt take correctly.
Odin showed successful and the supersu flashed to the /system but every time i tried to run supersu I get Unfortunately SuperSU stopped working.
So i ended up using ODIN to get Temp CWM recovery and installed the CF-Autoroot in the CWM recovery. This woorked to get Root.
I downloaded the TWRP manager from playstore andused it to install TWRP 2.8.1.0
The TWRP Manager gave me an error but when i booted into recovery I had TWRP.
After that i tried to flash CM 12.1 in TWRP but got error and it didnt work.
I read that wicked 2.2 would load,
its big all most a gig so i figured it was pretty complete. maybe based off of stock.
I loaded it successfully.
afterwards i booted back into twrp and did an advanced wipe of.
Dalvic Cache
/ system
/data
/internal storage
/cache
Then i loaded Cm 12.1 with no issues.
Tested Pac-Rom No issues.
Im thinking any of the newer roms will flash fine now.

I'm hoping you left out some steps, because if you tried flashing CM 12.1 without doing a wipe on System/Data/Cache/Dalvik then you will not have a working phone.

I don't think the roms care if your on ND8 or NJ2 or whatever the latest is . You should also update twrp to 2.8.7.0 . Version 2.8.4.0 and on allow you to flash a new twrp version image right from recovery . 2.8.1.0 is pretty old . Best of luck with your new hobby .
Ya i didnt have any troubles.
Im currently working on 5 devices and writing sort of a kitchen.
But it dose way more than most kitchens. Even creates a CWM style backup over adb like onandroid.
I found a way to patch a factory recovery.img to flash files signed with my own keys and that kinda started it all.
Anyway Merry Christmas
what's the root method for DOH1? ;; I can't seem to find a thread specifically walking through the root method for the latest baseband and i have an old S3 and was thinking of playing around with it for a while for fun turn it into a light weight media player to save battery on my LG G4 since we all know how inconsistent and crap the battery can be with the G4 lol
The root is pretty easy.
I used this.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1963812
Then just get Clockworkmod or TWRP recovery for the d2spr sphl710 and flash it.
After that load any rom you want

To root, you need odin on your PC. You can get it here.
Use odin to flash twrp recovery. You can get twrp from their site. twrp
Get the .tar of the newest build for d2spr (sprint s3). Put it on you PC somewhere you can find it (download folder is fine)
There are tutorials everywhere for using odin. It's the way to root almost all Samsung phones.
You also need the Samsung drivers on your PC. I don't have a link for that at this moment.
Then launch odin on your PC.
Put phone in download mode (from powered off, hold power+home+volume down)
Plug phone in to PC and odin should say "added"
Click AP button in odin then navigate to where you have the Twrp .tar downloaded and select it
Click start in odin.
When it finishes it should say pass.
Don't let the phone boot to system, unplug it and take out battery
Put batter back in and boot directly to twrp recovery by holding power+home+VOLUME UP
In twrp select reboot, then system. It should say you don't have root and ask if you want root. Swipe the arrow for yes. Once it boots, open SuperSU and update binaries if it asks. Choose normal method.
Done. Rooted.
You should really have looked up how to root before coming to a thread about flashing roms. There are tutorials everywhere for rooting this phone. Google is your friend dude.
Edit: you can get the Samsung USB drivers here
That thread has rooting instructions too. It's for the virgin Mobile s3, but its the same phone. Those instructions work fine. Only difference is I linked you to twrp recovery instead of philztouch (philz development is dead) and I linked you to a newer odin.
If you are that new that you aren't sure about rooting, maybe start over there in Android forums. I'm a guide there.

I was given a SPH-L710... Originally purchased from sprint.... Currently activated on boost. I got the phone Dec. 24 2015. It had stock unrooted DOH1 with untripped warranty bit. I have successfully booted and ran these roms for a minimum of 24 hrs each. As far as I could tell they were fully functional including: 4G LTE, MMS send and recieve, hotspot, wifi, bluetooth, camera (still and video). All main fuctions worked correctly for the limited time that I used each rom. :

-cm-13.0-20160130-UNOFFICIAL-d2spr.zip
Im currently running CM13 unofficial as a daily driver. Cm12.1 SNAPSHOT was also very responsive and gave me no problems. I flashed them with twrp.2.8.7.2-d2spr.img. i flashed the recovery with odin after i made it into a .tar.md5 using linux mint 17.3 cinnamon. For the lte and mms i used "apn backup and restore" from google play with the root explorer method. Open gapps aroma for each android version i got from cyanogenmod website. i would recommend searching and using the dd command with adb shell in a linux terminal or cygwin to backup every partition on your doh1 first. (You will need root and busybox) There should be 24 partitions in mmcblk0. Make a backup of every one and you can recover one way or another ALMOST regardless of what may or may not go wrong. I used supersu 2.65 zip. Ive had alot of issues due to DOH1 but all the resources are in that easily used omnibox. Hope any of this info helps you.

This is from the Renegade Rom page on Android Development, IT WORKS EVEN IF YOU ARE ON BOL1.
Start with step 5
Proper flashing/upgrading to this ROM.. IF you're thinking about flashing OJ7 Roms, take note of the following:
First, Make a TWRP backup
Make a Titanium backup and Backup your Files to PC (i.e. DCIM/Downloads/SMS/TWRP) as you might have to factory full wipe if no boot after ODIN!! Yes no more pictures of your cat Fluffy
ODIN OJ7 Full Update/Firmware Click Here.
After returning to STOCK - bootup and go to software update and take ANY OTA
{{START HERE WITH A NEW PHONE}}{{START HERE IF YOU'RE ALREADY ON OI1}}
Go to Settings--->About Device--->Tap "Build Number" 10 times and you will unlock Developer Options---> unlock bootloader (See Attachment)
Flash THIS TWRP in Odin (compatible with 5.1.1 OFE and up) and you will be good to go with root+recovery on 5.1.1!!
Boot into TWRP; Wipe (Cache,Dalvik,System); Flash a RENEGADE OJ7-V1 Rom
Finally done!! Now you get all the juiciness of the Renegade work and any mods.
Depending on your install method... The initial boot WILL take up to 10 minutes on a clean install, SO PLEASE BE PATIENT!!!!
Please check post 2 and 3 if you're having issues or questions after flashing a Rom

Hey Joe, your link about the info is broken. Also your 'click source' on #2. is not a link.

I think that this is the link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/supersu/wip-android-6-0-marshmellow-t3219344
If I read Chainfire's notes correctly, this is only for systems running Marshmallow, which would let us out for a while. But....
Once Samsung updates our OS to Marshmallow or they get CM 13 working on our phones (currently a work in progress) this could allow us to use Android Pay on a rooted phone.

I do not believe it is MM only bc it's posted in the international S6 general forum too (and they obviously aren't on MM yet either).

I wasn't sure if CM13 is already working on International phones.
I only know what I read....
From Chainfire's post:
Rooting procedure:
- flash/upgrade to Marshmellow
- flash modified boot.img
- flash/boot TWRP and sideload latest...
Joe, be careful if you try this. Looks like you need to Odin back to stock.
Does this still void knox?

That is the key question. Also, would Google detect the phone as being rooted.
For the Knox part, someone with a "virgin" phone would need to test. Both Joe and I have already rooted using the current method, so Knox is already tripped.

Thank you for posting this, now we have a method of rooting that A: Does not require custom kernels #Marshmallow and B: May not trip Knox

Has anyone tried rooting with this method and trying samsumg pay?
Decided to give this a try. Odin flashed OL1. Booted OL1 with no problem. Odin flashed TWRP, without reboot. Rebooted directly into TWRP and flashed SU beta 2.65. It booted without problem with root access. When I go into SU, it says there is an update available, but I just cancel out.
I was hoping android pay would work as I could never get it to work except stock unrooted. I started android pay and got the message "android pay cannot be used." I realized I needed to unroot in SU. I did that and still get the same message.
EDIT: Tried it again. Odined OL1, rebooted and android pay worked fine. Odined TWRP, booted into TWRP, fine. Rebooted into rom, bootlooped at Samsung logo, over and over. Rebooted into recovery and flashed SU 2.65. Rebooted into rom with no problem. Android Pay no longer works.

For those asking about whether this root method trips knox or not. Yes this will trip knox. Anytime you use odin to flash non official Samsung firmware/software then it forever trips knox. Therefore flashing any custom recovery will absolutely trip knox... forever.
Samsung and Android pay apps will not work on rooted devices. Period. The pay apps are intended for official factory software for obvious reasons. Security is the main focus with these types of apps that deal with your personal banking/credit card information. Hence a rooted device is not considered "secure".
using this method and my S6 is rooted without custom kernel which i prefer.
however, it seems like i cant use titanium backup to restore any backed up apps. Titanium app just runs endlessly.

thank you. ill give it a try. :good:
This may be a weird question, but we don't have a stock kernel to flash. Would there be a way to make a zip of a stock kernel and then use this to get root? I'd like to have a custom ROM but with the stability of a stock Kernel. This is the first phone I can think of that I've owned that didn't have a stock kernel with root.
I have tried several versions of custom recoveries to flash via Odin to root the new tmobile 6.01 fireward that was released today and have not had any luck so far.
So far I have tried using the recommended versions of twrp 3.0.2-0 with no luck:
https://dl.twrp.me/zeroltetmo/twrp-3.0.2-0-zeroltetmo.img.tar.html
https://dl.twrp.me/zenlte/twrp-3.0.2-0-zenlte.img.tar.html
Has anybody successfully rooted with the 6.01 T-mobile firmware that was released today? If so could you please provide a link with the exact custom recovery file you used.
Thank you in advance.

Search for 3.0.2 nobleltezt twrp and download latest version (This recovery is for Note 5 but works awesome, and S6 Edge+ TWRP stuck or won't boot)
Flash in Odin but remember to uncheck auto-reboot then reboot manually with volume down and power button combo.
To anyone having probs. rooting the new DPD1 Marshmallow update, follow the guide HERE. Looks like dirtybudha has compiled everything in one post. Hit the thanks buttons!!!!!! It works perfect for both devices.
So follow those instructions after already on the edge plus 6.0 firmware? So we would be flashing Note5 over existing edge stuff, right?
Proper TWRP and SuperSU for S6 Edge+

These work 100% on both phones, they have been

Correct, I odined MM from Sammobile for the TMO S6edge+, this morning but could not get rooted and Titanium up and running all day, flashed and odined probably 15 times. Long story short, both firmwares are DPD1, and work fine.
Ok that makes sense. I'm using a COKC 5.1.1 note5 ROM on my edge plus so I guess it's the same principle just on a different Android version.
Thanks

I know exactly what you are doing wrong...
Go into Settings>Developers options and enable the OEM unlock.
By default the OEM unlock is always enabled so you must have
disabled it!!! LOL
That's why you are having issues with odin flashing twrp.
Keep the OEM unlock ENABLED all the time.
Good luck,
Have a great day!

Is there an odin tar for mm yet or bootloader and modem
Tia
I have 2 questions
1. Always private mode is lost by making root in 6.0.1?
2.in g928t 6.0.1 you do not need a custom kernel?

I just got this phone (SM-928T) and switched to Tmobile 2 days ago. Much happier with-mobile by the way. Anyway, I am on 5.1.1 AOGD and was weary about installing OTA updates so I didn't take incase I wouldn't be able to root. I currently have root via CF-Autoroot for 5.1.1 but, for whatever reason I cannot get TWRP installed on it though. Once I do it, it soft bricks and upon rebooting I get an error in the top left stating "RECOVERY IS NOT SEANDROID ENFORCING" I can only get back into ODIN. Recovery doesn't boot. I have to reflash with CF-Autoroot in order to get my phone to boot again. So my question is, if I install stock 6.0 firmware via ODIN or Smart switch returning me to stock 6.0 and "unroot" then flash then these files I should be on 6.0 and achieviable root again? Thanks for any info!
- Sorry If this is a dumb question, but I haven't been in the rooting scene in awhile since I had a Note 4 that couldn't be rooted on Verizon for about 2 years.
