Suppose I do this ^^^^^^ and all goes well
next, if I use kies to upgrade to JellB will I still have root? Or should I upgrade to JB first and then root? I will likely use a custom rom anyway, but Im the kind to wanna go one step at a time and not just jump into someone elses build. Possibly building my own once I see things a little better.
Thanks in advance

thanks for responding to the noob. Update successful now I will try this method.
recarcto the
Super easy, but when I launch titanium backup it says "sorry I could not acquire root privileges"
since the phne was used I tried again thinking it was rooted, but still same message. Oddly super user won't disappear.
IDK if its the CWM_Root_Superuser_3.1.3_Busybox_1.20.2 is the issue or not but I found "Superuser.zip" file from a different sight.
It is trusted as well, so well see if it does the tirck...
IT DID NOT!
superuser still apperas but titanium backup says could not gain root access.
Really strange cuz superuser appeared after both times. and the subsuqnet third...HOw can I make super user go away now? I thought repeat process would unroot but that seems not to be the case.
any advise would be grand.
*****************************************EDIT**********
Just in case for future droid noob like me (bs I can't put links till i have 10 posts)
I figured it out...4 hours later....There is no guide for this and I may be lucky my trial and error's did not brick the device but I was careful.
What I had to do to get the t989uvmc6 root permissions was easy as pie, but it was finding the right components so here they are. Perhaps I should start a new thred.
*First kies to 4.1.2 -----> h

*Second, phone in download mode (phone off hold volume and plug in usb cable) *A note here I did turn on "usb debugging" in developer options, general settings, but I'm,not sure it was mandatory
*Third run oden 307 ----> htt

Let everything happen. Once all this is done and nothing is happening shut phone off.
*fifth, Whatever mode its called when you hold both volume buttons then press power till feel one vibration and let go power button (keep holding volume buttons)
*sixth, You will get the TWRP screen. touch the reboot option then touch the system optoin (after this it is pretty much duhmmy proof mode)
It will say system is not rooted want to root slide for yes (duhhh)
magic will happen excitement ensues. phone restarts
Last, once the phone starts go to apps and youll see the superuser icon click it (it gives you options READ THEM and more duhhhh mode happens)
it will tell you the magic is not quite done yet.
Go ahead and follow the instructions. (or just install superSU should work too) (must have data or wifi!) There is a diff way here for sure
There are two options I choose the one recommended which was to download it
(it was the option on right of the screen and NOT the "play" icon on the left. I can't remember the name of that choice as im tired right now)
None the lesss it will be in the description given to you, you did read it and skip this, right?
Once you have superSU downloaded some other $%*# happens the phone will reboot it self on last time showing some quick command line (well mine was quick)
then when you get back into the "main" os go apps and you should see a different icon called superSU
you will then be rooted. Find a root app like titanium backup to be sure
So now Ive done all that somone skool me on the easier softer way?
Hope this helps someone cuz it would have helped me!
Now,
To hope the battery lasts more than 4 hr!
Can somebody help me? I have a T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy s2. I had it rooted on 2.3.5 (or 2.3.6 not sure). Now its 4.4.2. I flashed a updated radio and Hellkat-20140105-Hercules and 4.4 gapps. It was successful but I lost root and now gallery and camera does not work any more. I'm stumped. Can somebody direct me to the right path?

POSSIBLE HARD BRICK WITH Android 4.3 STOCK ROM. YOU'VE BEEN WARNED!
Here you go guys, a FREE SIM UNLOCK with Radio upgrade into CM. I just wrote this up for work, so I thought I'd share it.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Free unlock only works on 4.1.1, so you have to flash it using ODIN. I'm going to be hosting the 4.1.1 file, so please say tuned for that. ODIN and TWRP attached below.
--------------
Process.
1. Copy the ODIN Images folder to your computer.
2. Extract ODIN3 to your computer and run it.
3. Power off the phone and take out the battery. Put the battery back in with a disallowed SIM (Rogers SIM on a Bell phone for instance).
4. Hold Vol Dn + Home + Power until the phone vibrates once, release power. Release all buttons when the phone asks if you want to continue into Download Mode. Press Vol Up to start Download Mode.
5. Plug the phone into your computer, ODIN should see the phone in the far left box. Press PDA and navigate to the 4.1.1 image. Click Start. DO NOT CHANGE THE OPTIONS. Re-Partition, Flash Lock, Dump, Phone EFS Clear, and Phone Bootloader Update should be unchecked, Auto Reboot and F. Reset Time should be checked. DO NOT TURN OFF THE PHONE OR UNPLUG IT. When the top left box turns GREEN and says PASS!, the phone should reboot. The phone is now on 4.1.1.
6. Unplug the phone from the computer, close ODIN and reopen it.
7. UNLOCK STEPS:
Just dial the following keys in the dialing program *#197328640#
Main Menu > [1] UMTS > [1] Debug Screen > [8] Phone Control > [6] Network Lock > Options [3]Perso SHA256 OFF > (after choosing this option, wait about 30 seconds, then go back one step by pressing the Menu button then select Back, now you are in [6] Network Lock then choose [4] NW Lock NV Data INITIALLIZ ..... wait for a minute then reboot the phone.
*This is a PERMANENT UNLOCK, and does NOT trigger anything for warranty
8. The phone should now get a signal for the disallowed SIM that you installed earlier. If not, try the unlock again.
9. Power off the phone and take out the battery. Put the battery back in. Hold Vol Dn + Home + Power until the phone vibrates once, release power. Release all buttons when the phone asks if you want to continue into Download Mode. Press Vol Up to start Download Mode.
10. Plug the phone into your computer, ODIN should see the phone in the far left box. Press PDA and navigate to the June 2013 Radio. Click Start. DO NOT CHANGE THE OPTIONS. Re-Partition, Flash Lock, Dump, Phone EFS Clear, and Phone Bootloader Update should be unchecked, Auto Reboot and F. Reset Time should be checked. DO NOT TURN OFF THE PHONE OR UNPLUG IT. When the top left box turns GREEN and says PASS!, the phone should reboot. The phone now has the most updated cell radio as of June 2013.
11. Unplug the phone from the computer, close ODIN and reopen it.
12. Power off the phone and take out the battery. Put the battery back in. Hold Vol Dn + Home + Power until the phone vibrates once, release power. Release all buttons when the phone asks if you want to continue into Download Mode. Press Vol Up to start Download Mode.
13. Plug the phone into your computer, ODIN should see the phone in the far left box. Press PDA and navigate to the TWRP Recovery. Click Start. DO NOT CHANGE THE OPTIONS. Re-Partition, Flash Lock, Dump, Phone EFS Clear, and Phone Bootloader Update should be unchecked, Auto Reboot and F. Reset Time should be checked. DO NOT TURN OFF THE PHONE OR UNPLUG IT. When the top left box turns GREEN and says PASS!, the phone should reboot. The phone now has the TWRP 2.6 Recovery.
14. Close ODIN. You no longer need ODIN for anything else. Keep the phone connected to the computer.
15. Copy the newest nightly or newest stable CM install zip (http://get.cm/?device=d2att), and gapps install zip to a new folder on the SD card called Installation.
16. Power off the phone and take out the battery. Put the battery back in. Hold Vol Up + Home + Power until the phone vibrates, release power. Release all buttons when teamwin shows up on the screen.
17. Click the 'Wipe' button. Swipe the 'Swipe to Factory Reset' slider. Press Back, press back again.
18. Click the 'Install' button. Click the 'Installation' folder. Click the file that starts with 'cm...'. Click 'Add More Zips'. Click the file that starts with 'gapps...'. Swipe the 'Swipe to Confirm Flash' slider. The installation process will begin. Wait
19. Click the 'Wipe cache/dalvik' button. Swipe the 'Swipe to Wipe' slider. Click 'Back'. Click 'Reboot System'.
You should now have a SIM unlocked, radio updated, CM installed Galaxy S 3.

Sorry, no idea.
i beleive that 4.3 and brick problem is only if you took the OTA factory update . i didnt use these files but i did use that exact procedure and i was on CM 10.2 which is 4.3.1 and had no problems. i tried a friends sim card from rogers( im on virgin mobile) and it worked great .
where's the 4.1.1 file? hotfile is closed so http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/ doesn't work
OK I have a Galaxy Tab3 GT-P5210, I have developer usb debugging enabled, I have the Samsung KIES package installed on my PC and I've downloaded Odin307, the TWRP package and the ROOT package that is well documented in this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2525630
The problem I'm having is with the step that says:
Power down your device and put it into download mode. To do this, press and hold the Home + Volume Down + Power buttons simultaneously for 3 to 5 seconds until you see the warning screen.
When I do this it goes into something called 'Android System Recovery <3e>" with a prompt that says "# MANUAL MODE #" with the following options:
reboot system now
apply update from ADB
apply update from external storage
wipe data/factory reset
wipe cache partition
apply update from cache
and it does not show up in Odin so I cannot get further...how can I resolve this?
as a rant here, I really wish Google would mandate that all providers supply an option to root the device and install stock Android...this nonstop jumping thru hoops just to have basic control over a device you spent good money on is ****ing stupid
Found your problem!

Hey man download mode is where you flash custom recoveries and custom or stock Roms on your device. The answer to you for download mode is your not holding it down enough. first power off the device. Second hold these buttons all together: power + Volume Down + home button. Keep holding these buttons for a minimum of 10-15 seconds or more and it will go into download mode. From there you open up Odin on your pc and then you should see in a box your com port this means your connected. From there you it PDA and you select your recovery file. It should end with
.md5! Make sure re-partition is not checked or you will brick your device! Now it start and once it's done it will say Res OK. Good luck!
got it

You know what it was? Its a brand new tablet for me and so when it is held lengthwise (like you'd hold a phone normally) the Vol+ button is at the BOTTOM, not the top like every phone I've ever owned. So I was holding Vol- instead and that's why it wasn't working for me...boneheaded mistake but thanks for the reply...I can now boot it into Download mode ...though I still can't get Odin to recognize it
thanks for the reply

Check to make sure you have the samsung usb drivers. to do that go to my computer then local disk then go to programs and files. if you see the SAMSUNG folder and when you open it and you see the drivers folder containg the usb drivers then if you don't see it then we need to install the drivers. first uninstall kies. you don't need this.the download and open this exe file: https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B_nizg6yUZ0NS1RodDBxd0E1MFU/preview . install it normally.

After trying some different things I got Odin working, was able to install TWRP and root the device so that's all good
Now I've downloaded the framework-res.apk and decompiled it, modded it as i wanted to and recompiled using the Android Multitool app and the final issue I'm having is pushing the new framework-res.apk back to the device. The Android Multitool app claims it pushes the file but it does not. So I downloaded the latest sdk and I'm going to try using the raw ADB tool to push the file and see if that works...wish me luck
You can use twrp file manger to do that.
Just copy your file to sdcard while connected to pc and then reboot to recovery use file manager in advanced settings. Find your file and copy it to where ever you need it.
Has done, if no longer needed can be deleted
solved
Download Mode:
1 Step: Device switched off
2 Step: Keep volume up and down pressed
3 Step: Connect the keys to a PC via USB-C while keeping them pressed
Hi Guys,
I bought a Note+ (N975f, DBT) used. Since it has a crack on the front and was therefore cheap, I wanted to root it.
because as a newbie I am not allowed to insert external links, here only hints:
Following the instructions of topjohnwu with Magisk
However, it did not work. It is always at this point, red marked:
"Unlocking Bootloader
Unlocking BL on modern Samsung devices have some caveats, so I figure this would be helpful.
Allow bootloader unlocking in Developer options → OEM unlocking
Reboot to download mode: reboot and press the download mode key combo for your device.
Long press volume up to unlock the bootloader. This will wipe your data and automatically reboot.
failed.
In download mode when pressing Vol + key the following appears in red
"Reboot Recovery Cause: BL: Recovery Mode Set by key"
I have tried several times and I got this version from
samfw firmware/SM-N975F/DBT/N975FXXU6DTJ4
is used.
I assumed that it is because of the firmware then I used this version
SM-N975F_10_20201103172903_jy9pngyoln_fac
from Frija is used.
For flashing I used Odin3-v3.14.4.
After the last try with the version from Frija (Odin didn't show an error) a screen with a photo of the mask of Kylo Ren appears after Samsung. After 1 minute it starts again.
it is this picture
soyacincau 2019/11/191120-samsung-note-10-wallpaper-preview jpg
In Odin it is detected, but flashing again is not possible it stops at "SetupConnection".
I can only turn off the phone when it is connected to the PC and hold down Bixy/Power + Vol up.
Can I still save it, if so how?
Thanks in advance
I searched and didn't see anything that relates to my specific problem.
I have a 1952-4 that I rooted per instructions on here (Magisk). I dropped it and broke the screen about 9 months ago and just fixed it today...and I can't remember my pattern. I'm up to 50 tries, so now I have to wait 120 seconds before it lets me try the next one.
Since the root process requires you to reboot recovery for root, doing that just sends it to the normal lock screen. When I hit Vol Down/Power, my options on the bootloader screen are:
-Start
-Restart Bootloader
-Recovery Mode (restarts it, sends to lockscreen)
-Power Off
-Factory Mode (restarts, sends to lockscreen)
-Barcodes
-BP Tools (restarts, back to lockscreen)
-QCOM (restarts, back to lockscreen)
-Bootloader Logs
-Switch Tools Mode (enables/disables "Tool Mode Config" option on the bootloader screen)
My computer beeps the "something USB has been plugged in" chime when I connect it, but it doesn't pull up in File Explorer (unless it's off, but just shows that a USB drive has been connected but won't pull up anything when I click on it), nor can I connect through ADB. It's not a cable/USB port issue either as ADB finds my Note 8 when I plug it in and check via "adb devices."
Can't wipe it via Find my Phone either because it's been 270 days since my account pinged the phone, so it just shows up as "Android" device.
Any suggestions on how to either get my computer/ADB to recognize it (with root) so I can just delete the lock database, or how I can factory reset it? Am I forgetting a reboot option?
Thanks in advance.

-Restart Bootloader
-Recovery Mode (restarts it, sends to lockscreen)
-Power Off
-Factory Mode (restarts, sends to lockscreen)
-Barcodes
-BP Tools (restarts, back to lockscreen)
-QCOM (restarts, back to lockscreen)
-Bootloader Logs
-Switch Tools Mode (enables/disables "Tool Mode Config" option on the bootloader screen)
My computer beeps the "something USB has been plugged in" chime when I connect it, but it doesn't pull up in File Explorer (unless it's off, but just shows that a USB drive has been connected but won't pull up anything when I click on it), nor can I connect through ADB. It's not a cable/USB port issue either as ADB finds my Note 8 when I plug it in and check via "adb devices."
Can't wipe it via Find my Phone either because it's been 270 days since my account pinged the phone, so it just shows up as "Android" device.
Any suggestions on how to either get my computer/ADB to recognize it (with root) so I can just delete the lock database, or how I can factory reset it? Am I forgetting a reboot option?
Thanks in advance.

I'm on the bootloader screen (PWR/Vol-)
Computer does not show it connected, either in FIle Explorer or ADB.

Window 10?
Yeah. It should remember this phone, since I used this computer to root it when I first got it a year and a half ago.
I used a different cable and got it to pick up the phone (as an unknown device) in Windows but NOT ADB, and the phone to realize it was connected (see last line on phone screen) but they're not talking.
If I boot it all the way up, either regular or recovery (root), it doesn't show at all on my computer.
Like I said, I'd be fine with wiping it, but can't even get to that option.
Install the moto drivers. If that doesn't work then make sure your using a usb2 port and not a usb3 port as its a known issue with moto phones.
I just ordered a new OEM cable.
Also ordered an OTG cable to see if I can force it to startup into a different mode that'll allow me to do something with it.
I'll update this thread once I'm able to test them out.
I got a new cable. My USB ports are not labeled, and my Moto drivers reinstalled.
After rebooting to the recovery screen, I plugged it in and apparently I have fastboot. I checked the bootloader logs and it says:
AP Fastboot Flash Mode (Secure)
Fastboot Reason: Volume down key pressed
USB connected
Windows doesn't pick up anything connected by USB. I can't restart to get root because then adb doesn't pick up the phone either because of the screenlock preventing me from hitting ok to trust my computer.
I'm asking the following because I can't find answers: Can you delete the screen lock file with the only bridge being fastboot, not adb. How can I do a factory reset if rebooting to recovery is our normal way of turnin gon the device with root access? Or would reflashing something work?
command line commands are a perishable skill and it's been a couple years since I did this stuff.
Thanks in advance.
To recap, I either need to be able to get into the directory to delete the pattern lock, or factory reset the phone.
I've tried the pattern lock 79 times, which means I have to wait 300+ seconds between tries. I think an error is causing that though.
Fastboot is my only option at this point as far as using commands goes. Rebooting recovery just reboots it with root permissions, but neither adb or Windows 10 picks it up. Using a brand new factory cord and tried every USB port on my computer, even the USB-C to USB-C. But I can't find anywhere that shows how to get into the directory using fastboot.
In Device Manager, I've been getting an error with Android ADB Interface (The device cannot start; Code 10). I uninstalled, reinstalled various drivers, killed adb.exe, etc., Still happening.
HOWEVER, Motorola ADB Interface is working just fine and goes away when I unplug my phone, returns when I plug it in. Only when it's in recovery/fastboot mode though.
I got into Safe Mode, but computer won't pick it up.
I can't get into Field Test Mode. I did reboot it into something else. I don't know what, but the screen was off and the home button was illuminated. EDL mode? I don't know. Neither my computer or adb read that anything was attached, and i can't figure out how I did it.
I also tried sideloading some pattern lock removers, but apparently you can't do that in fastboot.
Thoughts?
Just to close this out with a solution: I had forgotten that in order to get to the recovery menu, you have to hold the buttons when you reboot recovery. Didn't realize that until I was rooting my Moto e6.
Factory reset complete. No more pattern lock. Though since I've now tried rooting it 4 times with 4 different images and have not succeeded even though I had root before all this, I wish I could have realized the above and possibly gotten in and deleted the gesture.
Lesson learned.
Hold what buttons? I'm afraid I'm in same spot.

Just found this. Timing is everything apparently.
Press and hold the Volume Down and Power buttons simultaneously until the Android Recovery screen appears.
Press the Volume Down button to navigate to Recovery.
With Recovery displayed, press the Power button.
When you see the 'Droid' with 'No Command,' hold Power and tap Volume Up just once and immediately release both buttons.
Scroll to wipe data/factory reset by pressing the Volume Down button
Press the Power button.
Scroll to YES by pressing the Volume Down button.
Press the Power button.
The 'phone will wipe all contents.
Press the Power button.
The 'phone will now reboot to the initial setup screen.
