As you know chainfire makes a cf-autoroot for this model of the SM-T805W cellular tablet. (Having serached the forum here, there is one other post where someone claims to have installed the twrp 3.0.0 running on this model, claiming to use the wifi version download.) I tried flashing both the wifi and lte version of twrp, but claims of it working do not hold up, and both fail to produce a working recovery, and so I think this model just needs its own ported version.
If someone is able to point out a compatible version, I would greatly appreciate the advice. For inspection I have linked the recovery for SM-T805W for the kitkat stock rom.

If my only purpose for twrp is to flash zip files and if root is gotten through cf-autoroot, would it suffice to use chainfire's flashify for all intended flashing? is this function equivalent with it through twrp?
thanks!
Is there a reason you're hanging on to KitKat?
Also existing kitkat versions of twrp work for your device.

I guess I assumed recoveries would be compatible between android versions, but I'm not sure wher this is indicated. I only installed kitkat yesterday to figure what works or doesn't but still didn't see a compatible twrp.
I am genrally on lollipop, and will go back due to compatibility with apps. Is there a working version for lollipop then? Thanks!

If you upgrade to lollipop or marshmallow, no reason why the build here shouldn't work.

wow thanks for the link; having read that it is like the link of the year; you're probalby annoyed i couldn't find ito on my own.
And your twrp works on kitkat as well, as i just flashed it. (i figured it would, as i've flashed the same recovery over different versiosn of android on other devices just fine, although it could have been luck.)
anyway thanks so much for having making this; it is a great device to have.

Hello all
I am really hoping someone can explain this to me please. I have recently purchased a Samsung Galaxy Note 2 (N7100) from Vodafone in the UK direct. I was under the impression from this site, and general research on the Net, it has an unlocked boot loader and my experience with it thus far seems to validate that. I want to place a custom ROM on it.
Here is what I have done thus far. The device is rooted and is working fine from that perspective. Root checker and such like all say this is fine. Additionally, it supposedly has the correct and latest version of CWR on it, 6.0.1.9. This was done using the ROM Manager from the Play store. It is the non touch version, at present. However upon booting in to CWR I have no advanced options on the main menu. I would upgrade to the touch version. However, that is not free and whilst I have no issue paying for it, in principle, I am reluctant to, in case I end up in the same position with that version. It does not state what the upgrade version is. It states on the upgrade introduction page, it is also available as a free download from the clockworkmod website. However. after much digging through their website I land up back at the ROM Manager page in the Play store, which quite rightly says it is already installed. The only manual download I can find is for, yes you guessed it, 6.0.1.9 and that when expanded is simple an SU.apk and a few such related files. How that will flash the correct version of CWR with touch enabled etc. is anyone's guess? The device is currently running JB 4.1.2 and was pushed out to my device by OTA update just before XMAS. The baseband version is N7100BUDLL1 and the build number is JZ054K.N7100XXDLL4. The kernel is shown as 3.0.3-679347 and is dated December 11 2012.
I am at a total loss here. I have flashed phones a number of times and have never come across anything so seemingly utterly baffling. Is it actually possible to get a full version of CWR for this build please and, if so how please? I am very reluctant to wipe the phone and install a custom ROM until I can verify CWM is running correctly. Surely I cannot be the first person in the UK on Vodafone to want a custom ROM and the boot loader is supposedly unlocked too?
Yours desperately trying to understand what is actually going on here please. Any help and\or enlightenment will be gratefully received.
Many thanks in advance.
Regards,
Paul Lemonidis.
Use TWRP recovery for Note2 instead of CWM.
Flash it using odin.

Many thanks for your quick reply. I was wondering about that. I'll give it a try. It seems from what you're saying to ditch CWR as it does not work properly with my device for some reason? Just mine or all UK Vodafone models is my next question. So I am also left asking did CWR's own program to install CWR downloaded the wrong version of it for my model, despite being installed directly from the Play Store? Obviously I chose the correct model in the menu. Do I take it there is no CWR version that will work properly in my device, unless it is just my device, of course? I am just trying to understand what is going on here. It is more the lack of any sensible logic to this I find frustrating, more than actually not being to Flash the phone to be honest. Or is it just a dodgy installation? Although I have tried installing it by ODIN and Rom Manager the result is always the same. Everything says its installed fine but it just doesn't work upon booting in to it??!! I will try the other way now.

First of all update your firmware. You are vulnerable to sds.
Secondly as for your problem.
Go to cwm page in desktop mode and download the recovery for your phone. Touch or non touch anything would work. Then rename the downloaded file to recovery.img and flash it in recovery option via mobile odin and you are done.

I have an SGH-1747M which I am sure is the correct model since that it is what it said before I installed a new ROM and it is the model listed at the back of the phone, with the serial number. Recently, I installed a Lollipop ROM from this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s3-sprint/development/rom-d2spr-cyanogenmod-12-1-t3074688
The ROM was meant for for the model SPH-L710, but it managed to be installed on my SGH-1747M phone. The ROM, although it works perfectly, has changed the model number on my phone to SPH-L710, and now my phone is only compatible with d2spr. I tried installing the ROM actually meant for my phone but I was unable to since my phone isn't d2att (the actual code for my phone) anymore. I tried installing a stock ROM through odin but it still won't recognize my phone as SGH-1747M.
I need to know how I can return back to my default model, since I have been told I will have network problems with the current ROM since it is not meant for my phone.

Visit this thread but don't flash anything else until you have read and asked for help there . Post there and explain your situation and even private message the op if you need to . http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2363882
I would just be extremely careful with this. Do you make a nandroid backup before flashing? I would restore that or a previous one first. That will probably fix your problem.
Have you tried to flash one of the Unified CM 11 Zips? Those are kind of universal installer, see if that will fix your problem. http://download.cyanogenmod.org/?device=d2lte Download this and make sure you wipe everything a few times. Then install the zip.
People on here bricked devices by downgrading to certain modems/basebands after flasher a newer one. It seems like you have a newer modem, so I wouldn't try it. If you can still get into download mode, I would flash the latest tar for your device. I'm pretty sure it is an AT&T device or close variant.

Thanks it worked.
Is there any truth to this? I'm paraphrasing from a post a read about an hour ago. For context, he was talking about being able to flash basically any ROM regardless of software version after you successfully get TWRP working.
I was wondering because i have a vs985 24B which makes it pretty hard to find relevant information for even the mainstream ROMs like skydragon and cloudyg3. I found a way to root and get TWRP but if possible I'd like to avoid experimenting with ROMs that aren't confirmed working for my software version.

If you sucessfuly rooted your phone and installed TWRP, you can flash any ROM that was built for your G3 version, nothing else.
For example, you cannot flash D855 version ROM on your device.

Does that rule apply even across kit Kat --> lollipop?
For example, will ROMs that havn't been updated in years with the most recent software version being VS985 10b work?

There are 2 words you should look for flashing a rom..
vs985 your device model
bumped
since it's so well known things need to be bumped it may not necessarily be mentioned on everything.. buuuut in most cases it is..
the only other thing to be mindful of is upgrading or downgrading from various Android versions & their modems & such..
oh and if you start messing with kernels.. some kernels will boot loop you if flashed over a different kernel with known issues.. that's usually mentioned in their related threads & by the time you mess with kernels you should be pretty familiar with things..
if you end up with a rom that won't boot.. not a problem.. just go back into twrp & use your backup.. because you should always have a backup made & ready..
UPDATE: So, I couldn't really wait, went ahead and flashed TWRP. It installed just fine, as long as you get into recovery immediately, TWRP sticks. I flashed SuperSU and rebooted and got into a boot loop, so had to flash the stock firmware again and everything is fine again. No idea why the bootloop, so if some expert knows, please share
-------------------------------------------------------------
So, T-Mobile/Samsung FINALLY delivered 5.1.1 on the P607T and it looks quite awesome so far. My device was rooted and had twrp, so I had to flash with odin and now have neither twrp nor root. While I know that its only a matter of time before the community updates the tools to make it easy for us to root, I wonder if somebody could tell me if its okay to flash the existing twrp_2.8.7.0_4.4 build on this new ROM?
I vaguely recall reading somewhere that with Lollipop, Android moved to a new FS, but suspect this only applies to the system and boot partitions? That flashing recovery should be fine, and worst case, twrp will not stick? But, just in case, it would be great to know if this is true from someone with more experience ... If yes, then I can try to flash twrp and see if SuperSU still works through ODIN.
Thanks!

I tried root/TWRP using the P605 NEE thread method and I get the bootloop. It takes the modified ROM but not the SuperSU. Anyone else get root on P607T 5.1.1 yet?
From what I gather so far, 5.1.1 is rootable, but a bit more complicated than other versions. There are instructions one can follow to 'manually' root (meaning no simple odin flash), but these have not been tested on the Note 10.1 firmware yet and so no guarantees. I am told its just a matter of somebody who knows picking it up and creating a flashable solution, but the device is old and the world has moved on to Android 6.0, so this is not very high priority and we may have to wait a bit more.
The manual instructions, I understand them enough to want to try, BUT am not a developer and am worried about bricking my device! If anybody is brave enough to try,

You should make a TWRP backup and try the build for t0lte.
If it doesn't work then restore your backup.

Why I'm new is because I used to hack around with my old kindle tablet and I just got my first android phone (used to have an iPhone 6). So I check the lineage OS website and I didn't see one for SCH-I605, so I thought there would be no options. But thanks!

The galaxy note 2 has a few versions, the two biggest are the international version (t03g/GT-N7100; doesn't support LTE ), (t0lte/GT-N7105; supports LTE). I personally don't suggest you install lineage for t0lte but you could try and give it a shot. it has been known that kernels for the n7105 can work on the i605 so I don't see why a rom wouldn't be able to work since the differences between the devices are minimal. I doubt you will be able to install it though since there should be a device check within the updater script that prevents you from installing the ROM but you can look it up on how to remove this checking if you REALLY want to install it. Be careful if you flash the rom, make sure you do a TWRP backup of the system and data to be on the safe side.
Regards
EDIT: There seems to be a few people who has had some success when installing lineage t0lte for the i605. I still advise against it but at least now you know that it may work for you.

Thanks for that, now I understand! I've been stuck on one route for the past while though. Since the I605 uses Verizon which has a locked down boot loader... I've been trying to run Suck It Verizon and No You Verizon. Im kind of worried if I will get soft bricked, which is fine because I can flash stock recovery, but if I get hard bricked, I'm screwed for sure. So I've been trying to load a android 4.1 or 4.1.1 or 4.1.2 stock rom but I can't seem to do that because I run 4.4.2, as of that I already have No you Verizon (Android File Host has working downloads for it right now). If you know what I mean, have you gone through this trouble before (or parts of it?), because I am in horrible pain lol.
No joy on the t0lte LineageOS. It fails the device check.
