I am a Ubuntu lover and would like to install Ubuntu in dual boot with Android 4.2.2 on my device:
Code:
Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 Neo
Device Name/Model SM-T111
Android Version 4.2.2
Baseband version T111XXUAOC2
Kernel version 3.4.5-2825399
Build number JDQ39. T111XXUBOC2
I can do this by following instructions on Ubuntu Wiki.
But there is a requirement that my device has an unlocked bootloader.
From what little know about Android the first step is to root the device.
I am happy to say that I have rooted the device successfully using KINGROOT.
I am looking to this Forum for help to unlock the bootloader. I searched on this Forum but could not find any existing thread for unlocking of bootloader on my samsung device.
Regards.

First off here are the current details of my device:
-------------------------------------------------------------
Model Number: SAMSUNG-SM-N900A
Android Version: 5.0
Baseband Version: N900AUCUEOC1
Kernel Version: 3.4.0-4335446
Build Number: LRX21V.N900AUCUEOC1
Knox Version: 2.3-------------------------------------------------------------
(Sorry I would have posted screenshots but I don't have 10 posts yet.)
I bought the phone with KitKat 4.4.2 and Baseband Version N900AUCUCNC2
Since then it has been updated through:
KitKat 4.4.4 - Baseband: N900AUCUDNJ5
KitKat 4.4.4 - Baseband: N900AUCUDNL1
and now Lollipop 5.0 - Baseband: N900AUCUEOC1
I carelessly updated my phone via Firmware Over the Air (FOTO) not knowing at the time that it would change the process for rooting the phone later on.
I have tried many tutorials and checked various threads throughout the forum for a solution but it just seems AT&T phones are extremely hard to root nowadays.
Some of the things I have tried without success are:
TowelRoot
KingoRoot
Root De La Vega
and possibly a few various other methods.
It is also possible that I may have done one of the above methods incorrectly, although I tried to follow the instructions as carefully as I could for each tutorial.
I have heard that it is easiest to root this phone while it is at KitKat 4.4.2 and I am curious if there is a way where I could downgrade the Android version and successfully root this phone. But I have also heard that AT&T patched 4.4.2 so that it was harder to root although I am not quite sure if this matters.
If anyone has any solution to my problem I would so greatly appreciate it. I want to be able to use this phone to its full potential before I get a new one.
With the 5.0 update comes a fully locked bootloader. ..which means no kernels....ever again. .
Downgrade is not possible to an older version. ..
No bootstrap recovery exists to my knowledge. ..and leaves you with no real root options. ..
Perhaps our devs could find a method. ...but support is not looking good for this older device.
You are locked up tight. ..
Very sorry. ...g
Sounds like you have a Note 3, not the 2.
What he said. Note 2 is i317 and has no lollipops
Hi , went from stock (bell sgh i317m ) kitkat to lolipop using cm 12 nightlies , is it possible to downgrade or will i brick my phone.
Some people say yes , and others no.
some advice would be nice ....thanks.....
With TWRP recovery installed. .. (latest version)....
You can wipe the device and flash just about any other rom in this section. ..regardless of bootloader versions because the other roms don't contain that image. ..
You won't brick anything if you follow the rom flashing instructions from the OP of the thread you wish to try....g
