Hello,
I messed up my Note 8 and recently was able to reinstall 4.1.2 stock, I tried connecting to Kies and it doesn't work. I wanted to update to the newest software then root. Since that wasn't working I rooted via Odin then attempted to flash twrp so I could flash a custom rom. Root works but the custom recovery doesn't stick... I tried unticking reboot in odin and the system still reboots into standard recovery.
I tried using the toolkit and its stuck on waiting on debug even though debug is clicked.
Can anyone help me install a custom recovery via odin or another way?
If you have the at&t sgh-i467 version - there is not a custom recovery for it because it has a locked bootlader.
Additionally, the newest 4.4.2 ota update has not been rooted as of yet - so if you must have root, don't install the ota.
The original mf1 rom is rootable, but again there is no customers recovery due to the locked bootloader.
This only applies to the at&t in version...
use Odin
Need help?
I have a stock unrooted SGSIII that received the latest NJ1 firmware. Is there anyway to root this phone or flash a custom recovery?
I am familiar with flashing past Samsung phones, just not with the SGSIII nor facing boot locks.
If there is no current method what is likely to happen if I take the rooted boot and system images from the end of this post and package them into a .tar.md5 to flash with ODIN? Testing things with the boot image is asking for trouble so I would prefer to minimize the risks of bricking (are there viable unbrick procedures in this case?).
Have you tried towel root? Or is your kernel already patched?

This phone is 100% stock, never rooted, and recieved the latest OTA update a month or so back.
I have root in my stock & recently upgraded NJ1using this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=56787105
Odin your favorite recovery and flash SuperSU
Doesn't that procedure require you to be already rooted in a previous firmware to begin with?
As it is, attempting to flash a custom recovery image with Odin returns the error "SW REV CHECK FAIL" and fails.
I just odin TWRP and flashed SuperSU.
I got this phone 15 days ago and not knowing I upgraded to NJ1, so no previous root.
I'll check it again, thanks.
Which TWRP download did you use?
UPDATE: I got this to work by downloading TWRP, Odin, and the Samsung drivers from previous threads. Thanks, developers!
I just installed the newest firmware for my sm-p607t, which is android 5.1.1. i have tried all auto root methods like cf auto root,kingroot, etc etc. with no luck. I really need root for half my apps i use need it. Is there any way to get root on this newest firmware? It seems like this tablet has been forgotten about and no one seems interested in it anymore.
Maybe you need a permissive kernel like was needed for note 4 5.1.1 firmware..
No clue, but for the life of me I can't get TWRP to stick. As soon as It boots up it reverts back to stock recovery
Can you try to install twrp by odin first? Then you should be able to flash the root zip file.
twrp seems to be for android 4.4 still for the sm-p607t, also just tried it and it wont work either.
I didn't know there was another way to flash Twrp w/out Odin. , I tried flashing TWRP and it says it's flashes successful but Twrp doesn't stick. I suspect that Twrp does work it just gets over written. This also happens on Nexus with stock rom, although with bootloader you can boot directly into recovery, and flash zip and install rom or block stock recovery from sticking

DISCLAIMER: Try this on tour own risk, I am not responsible for fried tablets. Always backup.
At this time there is no root for the new t-mobile 5.11 firmware.
Also on Europe and Asia the P605 lte model of this tablet had the 5.1.1 update and have the same problem.
With this procedure you will have the updated 5.1.1 bootloader,baseband and the most important, root.
But with a 5.02 custom ROM.
The ROM is a port from the P905, galaxy Note Pro 12.2 lte, with added features and the magazine launcher.
This was my ROM before upgrading to 5.1.1.
After checking out the new stock t-mobile 5.1.1 firmware, honestly I was not impressed.
There are 3 small fixes on the ROM's thread, plus search on xda for the stagefright fix and you will have
a perfectly working full featured ROM.
Thanks to Alan-B, the developer.
Flashed the new P607T 5.1.1 firmware with Odin 3.09.
Boot OK and let it alone for 10 minutes. Reboot twice.
Back to download mode.
Flashed TWRP 2.8.6.0-lt03ltexx-4.4 with Odin.
This version of TWRP works OK, it is slow to
start up, but works.
Read that newer versions are having some issues.
Then flashed the Supersu 2.46 zip with TWRP.
Did 3 factory resets and wipe 3 times dalvik, data, system, and cache.
Then flash the zip of the P605 ver. 0.09 Pyrana ROM from the note 10.1 2014 ed. Development section.
Only Roms for the P605 lte tablet are compatible with the P607T.
For me the stock rom bootloops after flashing
Supersu 2.46 with Odin, so better have ready on
the sd card ver 0.09 of the 5.02 Pyrana custom rom.
Flashed it and my P607T boot up OK.
Ver. 0.11 of this ROM did not boot on my tablet,
even after flashing with Odin the boot.img, provided on the OP,
so stick with ver. 0.09 + the fixes.
So far, TWRP 2.8.6.0 recovery and my P607T working perfectly.
so you have Pyrana rom and root? or you have found this method to gain root to the official p607t firmware? (t-mobile android version 5.1.1) Because im seeking the official stock rom with touchwiz plus root. or if someone who can build a stocky rom + root.
The official P607T 5.1.1 firmware bootloops after
flashing supersu 2.46. Not sure if the reason is TWRP 2.8.6.0 or the supersu 2.46 zip not being
compatible with the 5.1.1 stock rom.
Will be good to try supersu 2.49 beta.
After bootlooping my last resource was going back to TWRP and flash the P605 Pyrana ROM.
Prefer to have updated 5.1.1 baseband and root with the 5.02 Pyrana rom than the full stock 5.1.1 rom without root.

same .... Pending a solution boot compatible !!!.
I tried the instructions on Post 144 here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/gala...3215876/page15
It works without doing Step 1 (i.e. on the Stock Tmobile ROM)! All credit goes to @bluecat for doing the work and @M3r71n0 for the English translation!
@sandibhatt - This link is not working for me. Were you able to root 5.1.1? If so can you please re-post a valid link or some instructions? Thank you in advance for your help.

SHORT SUMMARY FOR ROOT AND RECOVERY MOD FOR FIRMWARE P605XXU1EOI5
TRIP KNOX - TRIP KNOX - TRIP KNOX
1) Download firmware NEE-P605XXU1EOI5 (PDA: P605XXU1EOI5 CSC: P605OXAEOI5 CHANGELIST: 5849447 BUILD DATE: 19.09.2015) [Thanks @Rivendel]
2) Download Kernel with ramdisk mod [Thanks @Blue cat and @Chainfire]
3) Download TWRP-2.8.6.0-lt03ltexx [Thanks teamwin-TWRP]
4) Download BETA SuperSU v2.50 [Thanks @Chainfire]
5) Copy “BETA SuperSU v2.50” in SDCard
6) Flash "Firmware NEE-P605XXU1EOI5" with odin
7) Boot the system/tablet (Probably cannot recognize SIM card/forgets WLAN keys)
8) RE-Flash "Firmware NEE-P605XXU1EOI5" with odin
9) Boot the system/tablet
10) Flash "Kernel with ramdisk mod"
11) Boot the system/tablet
12) (In Odin with Auto Reboot UNCHECK) Flash TWRP-2.8.6.0-lt03ltexx
13) Run system in Recovery and install zip from SDCard "BETA SuperSU v2.50"
14) Boot the system/tablet
End
For those with Wifi or Data issues just reflash your 5.1.1 rom manually until it gets fixed. (Which is basically what steps 1-9 are for)
In short, if you are already on version 5.1.1 do steps 10~14
Exact Step by step:
1. Get into Download Mode
2. Odin Flash the Kernel
3. Reboot and then turn off
4. Go back into Download Mode and flash TWRP Make sure Auto-Reboot is unchecked and after flashing power down manually.
5. Get into recovery using the Button combo. (Note this may take a minute or two for first install)
6. Either Sideload the Beta SuperSU v2.50 or have it on a mSD card or something and flash inside TWRP.
7. Reboot and Enjoy Root!
Also, If you have updated the sofware from T-Mobile (607T) you don't have to reflash the NEE-P605XXU1EOI5 software.
I have been able to get the 5.1.1 installed, updated kernel, SuperSU Beta, and TWRP 2.8.7.0.
Now I keep getting a Security Notice that "unauthorized actions have been detected". I found a suggestion about opening SuperSU and it should fix it, but nothing has worked so far
@sandibhatt & @HermitDash Thank you for your help here guys! This worked perfectly!
problem with root
This root method worked, but did anyone else have an issue with the wifi not storing passwords after reboot?
Possible solutions: tried to find and clear duplicate entries in the wifi config file in the data folder.. but there was no wifi config file.
i have the same issue wifi passwords not storing after wifi on and off or a reboot

need the patched boot img for p607t in order to fix wifi passwords, the OP of root tutorial used wrong kernel
also read update 7 to turn it into a odin tar
In short, I have a SM-T800 on 4.4.2 stock. I have TWRP installed. The problem is the USB is out of order, it's just busted on hardware level, so I can't use ODIN or ADB or anything requiring USB.
Does there exist a way to flash the device upwards (maybe to 6.0.1) with only these tools available? I can't get OTA updates due to the custom recovery.
I've tried flashing with FlashFire a stock 5.0.2 firmware from samsung-updates, but FlashFire can't flash the bootloader, and the SM-T800 needs a bootloader upgrade to go over 4.4.2. The flash resulted in softbricking, but I've managed to return back to working 4.4.2.
Basically what I need (I would imagine) is a TWRP flashable package, which includes the bootloader.

There is literally no way to flash the bootloader except by official means.
Kingroot is able to root most LL roms.
So if you go back to complete stock you can take the OTA and get the LL bootloader.
The thing I'm not sure about is if you will be offered the LL update or just the MM update.
Once you have the LL bootloader you will be able to root and install MM via FF.

Thanks, I'll have to go back to stock recovery then and see after if I can get rooted without USB after that, will see.
But how do you get back to stock if your on a custom room. I can't seem to get the right file to work. Everytime I try and extract and do it through Odin it fails
Hello
I was on 5.1.1(G920PVPU3BOJ7) and have root and twrp installed. I make nandroid backup and use odin to install stock android 6.0.1(G920PVPS4CPJ1). Now for some reason I want to go back to 5.1.1 but odin failed to install stock 5.1.1(SW REV CHECK FAIL DEVICE 4, BINARY 3) and also restoring backup using twrp stay in boot logo. It seems newer bootload does not allow downgrading.
Is there any solution?
Thanks in advance
I also tried downgrading to 5.1.1 from 6.0.1 through odin and was unsuccessful. I tried a few different 5.0\5.1 versions and they all failed as u mentioned. Someone has mentioned there is an anti-downgrade protection added to PI0 and newer.
I was able to flash an older modem from OJ7 using flash fire and it worked but that was just the modem I didnt go any farther trying to flash more parts from 5.1 firmware.using flash fire.
Flashing only modem is not enough. I want to completly back to 5.1.1 to be able unlock sim card.
Funny that u say that I was in the same boat. on PI3 and was trying the downgrade to unlock sim. I tried wondershare android sim unlock and unlockbase sim unlock software. both failed. I ended up coughing up the $35 to idoneapps and it worked first try and only takes a few minutes, pricey but super fast.
