I did some browsing around on here but nothing really definitively answered my questions. I just got a S6 Edge, running 5.1.1. After some research, it seems that rooting this is a bit more complex than phones I have dealt with in the past. I really don't want this bricked as I don't know how to recover. Tripping KNOX isn't a problem, I don't care about this.
From what I can tell, I use JOdin which I have downloaded. From what I gather, it works fine and can see the phone when its put in download mode.
I then need to dowload the appropriate kernel from autoroot.chainfire .eu My device is a G925T, so I expect to download that one from the CF-Auto-Root. However, I have seen one person saying that the kernel on there does not work with the S6 Edge and I should download the kernel for the S6. Is this correct?
JOdin requires a pit file and it looks like it isn't able to find one for the S6 Edge. I found a place (droidviews .com/download-pit-files-for-galaxy-s6-edge-all-models) where it claims to have the correct pit file but need to make sure.
Is there anything I am missing? Is everything mentioned above correct? Am I using the correct files here?
Anybody???

Anyway to root Bell Samsung Galaxy S2 LTE???
I cannot find anything on google or in this forums.
Thanks!!!
yea me either ive been searching for a couple weeks now.... it sucks
Rooting i757M
Am also still looking how to root this thing. The Skyrocket HD is merely the same phone, branded on AT&T carrier and this article made it clear that the phone has been silently put to the side, in favor of the coming S3. (phonesreview.co.uk/2012/05/10/samsung-galaxy-s3-buries-att-sii-skyrocket-hd).
That is, even on samsung online personal profile page, you can even find the SGH-i757M in the list of phone version, to add in your owner's page.
If anyone of you manage to root the phone, thanks to let me know.
Correction: The SGH-i757M can be found in the BAR model section on Samsung profile page and not under Smartphone. Hmm... weird categorization. Are those bar phones not smartphones? Oh, they are mini tablets.
Here is one.
Do you have any procedure to use that files? I just don't want to brick my phone
There's no any special procedure other than flash it with Odin
There're many tutorials about it here and there like that for example.

Has this been tested and confirmed to work? I don't have the device yet but this may make my decision to buy one.
dsixda, well, all I can say is that I flashed it personally (into E120L though) and it worked (including root).

Hey that is great news. I wonder if the CWM for the E120L is compatible then?
I wonder if this works to root the device, as I've read it worked for the Asian versions of the GS2 HD:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1321582
dsixda, I guess it won't be too hard for you to check that as you're recognized developer
You can download the stock I757M firmware with the CheckFus using advanced tab (or using cli only version) with the following data:
Model: SGH-I757M
Product code: SGH-I757ZKMBMC
HIDSWVER: I757MUGLCA/I757MOYCLCA/I757MUGLCA/I757MUGLCA
Yes, I'll try all that as soon as I get my device Always nice to have the stock Odin firmware so that I don't need to dump everything beforehand in case something goes wrong.
Thank you again
Just FYI, the stock firmware is now available at sammobile.com. Grab an account and search for SGH-I757M. The download is much faster than using CheckFus.
Dsixda! So happy your getting this Device, I also want to say thank-you for your Kitchen you created!! Amasing work. Used it all the time with my Evo 3d.
Just got the Samsung Galaxy s2 hd lte with the Bell network, Do you have any plans to incorporate this into your Kitchen??
Also is there any easy Root anyone knows of yet that doesn't involve Odin? Like superoneclick...etc

Try the Zergrush method which I linked in the previous page.
I haven't decided 100% whether to get it, as I still love my original S2. But if I get it I will incorporate it into the kitchen, once we figure out the custom recovery method.
I'm assuming any of the Tengrak GS2 HD recovery images (Odin .tar) will work, as long as you don't flash the associated Tegrak kernel for the ES120L/S/K?
You can always flash the stock firmware above in case you mess up.
Tried the Zergrush method, I had no luck. Oh well no big deal for now

Or flash the first link provided by rxulan in page 1. It's the stock ROM but the system.img has superuser injected in it.
And/or Google for the Tegrak custom recovery in Xda. Just flash one of those recovery.tar meant for the HD, but not the kernel.
ODIN ?

ODIN does not recognise .img or .ext4 files. I understand those are recovery files that CWD can restore but your device should already have been rooted. This is exactly the purpose of this thread, rooting the device first of all. This have been difficult for us to find the right .md5 files to use in ODIN. The device we're trying to root, SGH-i757M.
@ezechias
Odin doesn't recognize the files inside the rooted tar archive (the one linked on page 1), but you can flash them as a tar.md5, which you already know is a preferred format. There are guides online on how to convert it to tar.md5, you can Google it or I can post it later.
First, try to flash the TAR file as is; if it doesn't work then convert to tar.md5, then flash it.
Anyways, it's strange that nobody wants to be the lab rat to test the rooted TAR or the custom recovery that we have already discussed. We have the emergency stock ROM to fall back on if anything goes wrong. Looks like I'll have to purchase this device soon and try it out myself I already have all the files and stock firmware downloaded and ready to go
ICS for E120 K/L/S has been released.
I'm sure the same will happen with I757M pretty soon
I have rooted/flashed a few android phones now, roms and all that and from a quick glance at the Note 2 information, seems like it is much more complicated then normal.
What I want to do is, root my Note 2 (SGH-I317M) and then flash a custom ROM on it.
So I found the page with all the tutorials and stuff, and found this post.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1980644
But it seems like it's meant to be used with the stock rom. Which I want a custom one.
Am I missing something? Should I use this tutorial, another one that I seem to have missed?
Found this one as well, but again, stock rom. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2004650
that seems pretty complicated to me. I have never used chainfire for that reason. I am sure it is easy to do but s c r e w it.
All I had to do was download a single .tar file if I remember correctly, via odin on Windows dual booted on my Macbook. Takes about 5-10 minutes I would say. Try http://galaxynote2root.com/ after you have root you probably want to install TWRP to make things easy. Get rooted first and then we can talk about flashing roms.
There is also the Exynos exploit where you can download an apk and root the phone in about a minute
Thanks man, that does seem to be much better.
Forgot to ask.
I don't see it on the site. Can the root be undone easily?
http://galaxynote2root.com/ when following that tutorial?

I didn't see a section dedicated to the virgin mobile galaxy s3 so I thought I should make one.I have the sphl710 with the new baseband nj3 and I know many others like me have questions like. How to get root back if they lost it? How to root now? if there are any one click methods that will work as of now? And other General questions I've had and I've seen many others have had. So the answers I've came to are
# The only way I've seen people getting root back after the update is with philz recovery.
# How to root now? Well that's my question to.
# Is there any one click methods that work as of now? No , well from what I've seen. All the new firmware is having that problem. Towel root won't work on Sprint galaxy s3 with a baseband of nj2 and nj3 from what I've seen and tried. Same with farmaroot it worked great before but until it gets a update it won't work. Other than those main ones I've tried allot of other one click methods to no prevail. So your not alone in that.
If you have comments or questions or both feel free to ask and discuss. Let's try to be new user friendly because we've all been there not knowing what anyone else is taking about.so let's not make anyone feel stupid. Thanks
I've rooted my Virgin Mobile S3 in the last couple of months with the NJ3 modem, and I found this page to be of great help: http://androidforums.com/forums/virgin-mobile-galaxy-s3-all-things-root.2292/ Specifically, I used the All-In-One Custom ROM User Guide by struckn: http://androidforums.com/threads/all-in-one-custom-rom-user-guide.791952/ It's a little outdated, but it doesn't matter.
I read through the whole thing, but you really only need the rooting part in the beginning if you want stock rooted with a custom recovery. I have Philz, as it is what the guide said to use, and everything works smoothly. The guide also covers good custom ROMs if you want those (after I made a Nandroid backup of stock, I played with a few ROMs before sticking with Android Ice Cold Project v8)
A side note: When I was completely new to this, I was perplexed by Odin. I used it after finding a download for it somewhere (there is no official download, as it is leaked software), but I'd recommend giving Heimdall a try first ( http://glassechidna.com.au/heimdall/ ), instead. Also, Heimdall is cross-platform, so you don't have to use a Windows computer to root!
Okay, I realize I'm gonna get backlash for this, because I'm clearly missing some critical bits of information, so I'm certainly gonna come across as though I don't know what I'm doing - which I'd argue is only partially true.
But whatever, here are my gripes. I've never had so much difficulty rooting an Android device before, and I'm losing my mind. The lack of resources for this particular model is unheard of, and every article I read has me download DIFFERENT decryption files! It's insane - it's like nobody - but the few of us on XDA - own one of these or care about the flashing and root process!
- I've been reading through the forums and there are comments acknowledging issues that appear to be far and wide, and always inconclusive!
- TWRP (mind you, the ONLY version that actually works and let's me boot into it, gave me a bootloop!) And this version of TWRP can't connect via ADB/won't read anything but SD cards and anything other than this version of TWRP won't let me boot into it.
- Tab S4 won't listen to FASTBOOT cmds on my pc! Yes, drivers are installed correctly. My Tab S first gen. Works fine with it!
- STOCK FIRMWARE. My biggest complaint is the firmware. It's NOWHERE online! Every website excludes the US varient (which should be prefixed with XAR, or so I thought!?!?) and downloads at 100kb/sec AFTER you sign-up with them. Updato claimed to have the US XAR version, but the link to it was empty! A few users provides links to the "US" version, but nothing for Android 9.0 SM-T830 (US).
As troublesome as this device has proven to be, it's insane that noone has compiled all of the CORRECT information into ONE place and called it a day. If you think that's what a few users on XDA have done, I'd strongly disagree. The forums are just as bad! It's like an endless rabbithole of "oh try this file instead" "I found another issue doing it THIS way" "fix it like this" "oh now THIS isn't working" "well here's an updated version of that" "
To be clear, I have a US varient of the Galaxy Tab S4 (SM-T830) running the latest version of Pi, and while I'd love to describe everything I've done to the tablet to get to the point I'm currently at, I'm currently at my wits end, and I'd love to just have a working tablet again.
THE WHOLE POINT OF THIS POST:
Can someone please, please provide me the UPDATED Android 9.0 stock firmware for the SM-T830 UNITED STATES varient including ANY combo files or EXTRA files needed so I can get my tablet back to it's out-of-box STOCK firmware?

Use SAMFIRM.EXE to download firmware it's so easy So true it's a pain to root and getting everything up and running again! Took me 2 days and about 40+ flash stock flash recovery dam flashed wrong decryption zip as there's so many versions, it would boot OEM lock not showing you reboot stuck in a boot loop then it started to work then you reboot it would wipe the whole tablet like stock it did that so many times i really wanted to smash up my Tab S4! At 1 point i even considered to slap it on ebay partially booting it was driving me up the wall i think this will be the last device i ever root its just too much headache!
But anyway use SAMFIRM.EXE Clicky and flash WETA Rom Clicky Please note WETA also has the decryption if you got TWRP installed you can flash Weta via it real simple!
Samfirm or Frija is going to be the answer as far as firmware goes. All of the download sites are just horrible now.
I was easily able to find and download the stock firmware for the normal tab, though it seems none have the 837 model available.

Hello,
I am looking to root my A50, model SM-A505W, and I need the correct TWRP file in order to do so. I am having a hard time finding the correct file. I am unable to find the file on twrp.me, which is where I normally go to find these files. I have read a few other threads on here that provide a TWRP file, but I am unsure if they work with the Canadian model or are safe to use. I should preface by saying I am relatively new to rooting. I have rooted a Galaxy S5 and S6, and had a few issues but managed to solve them. My main concern is getting stuck in a bootloop by flashing the wrong software to the device. At that point I would rather have done my due diligence first rather than flashing a file that I am unsure of! Really I am just asking for clarification if I can use the TWRP files from either,
This thread:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/ga...overy-unofficial-twrp-3-4-0-0-galaxy-t4138313
Or this thread:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-a50/development/recovery-unofficial-twrp-recovery-t3941843
In the second thread there is mention that Magisk doesn't work with this software? I need Magisk to work for the usage of Smali patcher. So, if anyone could provide the correct software, or advise me as to what the correct solution would be, I would highly appreciate it!
