Country: USA
Carrier: Sprint
Version: L520.08

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!

I've tried downloading and installing the drivers manually and nothing seems to allow the app to recognize the phone is connected, I tried 3 different PCs with the same result. I app loops between connect and disconnect your phone.
Here are the details:
Model number: SPH-L520
Android version: 4.2.2
Baseband version: L520VPUAMK2
Kernel version: 3.4.0-2054908
Build number: JDQ39.L520VPUAMK2
Any suggestions would be much appreciated.
Thanks!

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.

It's the version of software we're on. Still JB 4.2.2, but the last Ota under the guise of updating Spark also included Knox which is not allowing us to root through the Saferoot method.

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.

Hi, Any Tab 3 Model is currently supported by Triangle Away.
You gotta wait until Chainfire release a version that support these Tablets.
I hear that flashing Stock Firmwares with ODIN resets the Clock Counter.
I tested it on my Tab 3 10.1 Wi-Fi GT-P5210

latest version that i tryed do not support it. as i found on "triangle" topic, there are few requests for SGT3, but nothing else. all say "wait for developer".
so, i presume we are stucked on manual update only.
EDIT: i just checked "triangle" site and topic, and, no. it is not supported. latest version if from january 2014, and nothing newer. so, bad luck.

SGH-M919 CF Auto Root (Odin issue)
First and foremost thank you Chainfire for providing the resource to root my phone. What I am trying to do is use auto root to root my T-Mobile Galaxy S4 running on Kit Kat 4.4.4 build # KTU84P.M919UVFNH7 which I found the applicable Autoroot download for.
However when I connect the phone to ODIN the device name does not show up what shows up is "ID:0/003>" Is this an issue with the phone settings or the computer settings? I am using a HP Pavilion Slimline 4000 Windows 8 using classic shell. Would greatly appreciate some help. Thank you in advance

Google Services (Google Play Store, Google Games, etc.) stopped working
My Google Services stopped working when I rooted my M919 using this method. But it works after I unroot it. When I enter the Google Play Store when my device is rooted, it displays "Server Error" and I can't do anything. This only happens when I root my phone. I have tried clearing the cache and data from Google Play Store, Google Services, Download Manager, and Google Framework but they didn't solve the problem. Please help if you had a similar situation and managed to solve it.

It appears that this thread is useless.
Who's idea was this?

Galaxy Tab S 8.4" T700x Live demo stock rom

I need to restore a live demo unit back to factory defaults with all the live demo crap on it. Does anyone have a link to the stock T700x rom that comes with the live demo units?
A link would be greatly appreciated, thanks

Please give me more info on the tablet. Is it wifi variant?, what country did you get it at? I can get you a link if you tell me that stuff.

If you do a master reset, you can get the normal rom.
From there, it's just a matter of downloading and installing the Retail Mode app, which can be found on the Play Store by searching for "retailsamsung".
I believe the password for the Tab S as well as the Note 4 and S5 retail modes is 5444, but I could be wrong on that.

Attempting to move in the other direction
Seeing as this thread still has some life in it... I'm trying to help a friend get a T700 out of demo mode, do you remember how you did it with your? I'm currently attempting to download the stock rom that matches what is on the tablet currently to re-flash it, but the download estimates are multiple hours long, so I was hoping that wasn't the only way out.
Never mind, I re-read the thread and you already said how you got it out. Looks like I'm waiting for a long download, hopefully this one doesn't die in the middle again.
Thanks

[ROOT][Samsung Galaxy Tab E][sm-t377p/sm-t560nu]

WHATS THIS?
This is my port of CF-AUTOROOT for the Samsung Galaxy TAB E.
You flash this at your own risk. Please ensure you have the stock ROM to hand downloaded from SAMMOBILE or a TWRP backup in case of problems. This will trip the knox counter.
Flash with ODIN 3.10.7 in the AP slot.
Load the respective file below into the AP slot and hit start.
cfautoroot_sm-t377p.tar
cfautoroot_sm-t560nu.tar
NOTE: ON SOME 5.1.1 DEVICES IT IS NECESSARY TO GO TO:
Settings -> Developer Options -> OEM unlocking
AND ENABLE OEM UNLOCK FIRST OR YOU MAY ENCOUNTER 'BLOCKED BY FRP LOCK' WHEN FLASHING.
STOCK TWRP IMAGE FOR SM-T377P
This is a link to the stock system, boot, modem image for the T377P in case anyone needs it. Needs to be restored with twrp.

That was my plan ...however they do not support this model number yet so its not available to be reflashed. I checked sammobile as well figuring I could download firmware and use Odin to reflash and same situation.

There's a chance the sm-t377R4 firmware may flash as it's practically identical to the sprint firmware just a different csc.

Okay....will try and find that one.

Hi, I had a question. The Samsung Tab E is my first android device (I am a IOS user, so i know how to Jailbreak, but I don't know how to root!). My friend told me to root it, but I don't really know how to do it. Can you post a step by step tutorial. Also, after i rooted can i update my device to a newer version or do i have to remove the root. Lastly, how do you back up your device? Thank you! I appreciate your hard work!

You can follow the tutorial below, it's for the Tab A but the procedure is identical.
Obviously don't use the cf_autoroot file in the tutorial use the one here. Also note the PDA button in Odin is now called AP.

You can update your device with odin anytime you want but not via ota.
To back up you device you need to install TWRP.
Search Google for info on using TWRP.

I have a US Cellular Samsung Tab E SM-T377R4 and I rooted it using the procedure below. The root process went fine and everything is working well except Recovery Mode does not work. It just boots to a black blank screen when I try to go to Recovery Mode. But that's no big deal to me.

Surprised recovery doesn't work, considering the 2 devices are identical specs.
Try installing Twrp, you'll probably find that works OK.

I tried the t377R4 firmware that didn't work. Any idea on where I could track down a copy of the t377p? Odd I can't even use the Samsung Smart Switch or even Kies as it doesn't recognize the model number. Or if anyone has a backup available they can share please let me know.

Same problem here... I've been looking all over for a copy of the SM-T377P stock ROM. Anyone that happens to have a copy/link for it please share.

What's the issue?

Rooting gone bad... Rooted my SM-T377P with KingRoot and there is an FRP Lock that comes up a week later. All of the custom ROM versions I have keep getting rejected by ODIN every time I try to flash them. The only other way I can think of doing this is to flash the stock ROM for the device.

You realise you can't flash a custom rom with odin?
Also when you flash the stock t377r4 firmware what part fails?

The aboot fails every time I try to flash it
