I think this has been asked before in a different way in this section but no real response yet. I did some research in the other Samsung device forums and see that often it is possible to remove branding or switch carriers adjusting device ID and bootloader etc. But no idea how to do it for the Tab S4.
I'm sick of waiting for slow updates through T-Mobile (or any carrier) and would like to fully unlock it's potential with Android 10 rather sooner than later. I bought this device second hand network unlocked.
Any short or long answer to these questions? Can it be done? If so where to start?
Am looking to do so, with the t835 you will have full calling functionality,,,

not needing the calling function on a tablet. but steady updates are welcome... tired of waiting twice.. first for Samsung with slow update policies then another time for carriers that already got their money and cant care much a anymore...
i'd be looking for T835C since I'm in China now.

The short answer is no.
I've tried that after I found my T837V can be successfully loaded with T837R4/T837T/... firmware. I thought maybe I could flash stock firmware of other versions. But if you do that with any firmware other than T837*, you will get "secure check fail pit" error. So sadly no.

Thanks for the response! So it does mean you can freely flash T837 versions which could mean I can just wait for the first version that comes out with android 10. Any first release should work. Right?
Turkey version has it:

T837 is Turkey version and I've tried it. It can't be loaded, maybe it need to be T837x which are all US variants.
As for Android 10 update, I think this will work. I'm waiting for the first one who gives the OneUI 2.1 update. So far the Verizon version(T837V) seems to have the most active firmware updates.
In the USA, SM-T837 ARE carrier tablets.
There are the SM-T837A, V, and T; ATT, Verizon, T-Mobile. TheSe are locked to the Carrier. If you have them unlock it, OTA upgrades are over. If you know how to hack the firmware, you can write over the carrier version. The best way to go is probably custom ROM AND ROOTING. But in other nations, it will probably work to write a different Samsung ROM. The SM-T835 HAS no US version, so you can probably write any tab s4 Factory ROM to it.
The USA HAS so many cellular devices, the rules are strict. And, the carriers sell the devices pretty cheap. So, they want them to stay with their service.

Hi, I am curious if anyone can answer this question.
I am a deliberation from obtaining the Tab S version SM-T805K/SM-T805S/SM-T805L launched in Korea with the Exynos 5433 processor. The article here explain this product: phonearena . com/news/Speedier-Samsung-Galaxy-Tab-S-with-Exynos-5433-processor-and-LTE-A-to-be-launched-soon_id61316.; this aricle has an inacccuracy probably from translation, but it supports 'broadband LTE-A', which combines three LTE bands, instead of two like the regular LTE-A for 1.5x increased throughput. Anyway, the release is similar to the Galaxy S5 'broadband LTE-A' with model number SM-G906(S/K/L)
Obviously chainfire's autoroot package for the SM-T805 doesn't work due to different processor.s However, it shares the same processor as the Note 4, so I am curious if there is a method to botain root suing existing downloads and by using TWRP. This amounts to a general question. Is root processor-specific? Does one of the root packages for Note 4 work? Or if a new root package needs to be written for the model altogether.
Please let me know your thoughts.
No the root method is not cpu specific, but it is device specific. However the TWRP method is not as long as there is a twrp version for your device that can be installed. This requires an unlocked boot loader, it's not common for Samsung to lock bootloaders. It's usually only US models that have locked bootloaders.
There is a firmware update for the SM-T805S at Samsung Updates, if you download it, extract the recovery image from it, send it to me and I'll build TWRP for your device.

Wow thank you so much! I have linked it here.
https: // drive.google. com/file/d/0B2CszRKCbxDSM0RuVHI4SHlfWTg/view?usp=sharing
Just for my own clarity, the TWRP version is not CPU or device -specific, but requires a version that can be installed; would you please care to elaborate?
Ah, there is some ambiguity in the thread.
So, the TWRP recovery itself is device specific? and then rooting can be done by sdcard method in TWRP with current version of chainfire's SuperSU zip?
Thank you.
To boot twrp or any recovery it has to be built for a device using files specific to that device such as the kernel. It has to built and configured so that the kernel can boot and then boot recovery. It needs to know the partition layout of that device and such things as the display resolution.
Ashyx is an awesome recovery builder. He built many recoveries such as a twrp mod and also twrp for snapdragon tab s. Without him, some devices may never gotten an custom recovery
I notice that the partition structure seems to be slightly different in the new version.
When you get your tablet I will need you to run a command on the device to get some info.
Hopefully then I can build it.

Just wondering, can it be done from the device itself (no ADB)? If so I can try to get someone to do this on a display model, but availability is questionable. Plus, for some reason, the SM-T805S model has mysteriously disappeared from the Samsung Korea website in the past couple weeks (http:// www.samsung. com/sec/consumer/mobile-tablet/tablet/filter/). The SM-T805K seems to be the most available.
This is the model I am most likely to get. If I got the SM-T805K is there a way to get a hand on the firmware through Kies or other means?
Could you post your commands here? Someone with the device is bound to read this forum and run the commands, but it may take a while. But who knows
Thank you for working on this! :good:
The s,k,l variable is probably just carrier variants. The actual part of the firmware I need is likely the same.

Yes, they are are carrier variants (SK Telecom, KT Olleh, LG U+).
So, does it require ADB to do? what were the commands? :fingers-crossed:
(I spose PM if needed. Thanks!)
You can run the commands on the device itself. It would be best if you have the device because the output would be quite long so a screenshot would be best.
Sorry I havent gotten back sooner. I will report back here when I get the device. :silly:
No worries
Sorry to jump in. Just one question. If the tab is designed/locked for a specific carrier, is there a way to unlock it to any carrier without changing the original ROM?
Thinking of buying this model also, however, im not from Korea!

I've read on other forums that people have used their korean-carrier device abroad with foreign sims without issue.
This si just a conjecture, but I wonder if we load a custom rom if the device would even be carrier locked anymore. If we delete the hidden.img and cache.img from the rom, if this would solve it? Also, I have seen rooted apps that claim to unlock your device. For me, I consider calling the carrier to have the device unlcoked an option as well.
Using this deivce in the United sttates it is more relevant to note the LTE bands. AT&T would be the only compatible arrier on band 17, and the network would not support LTE-A or broadband LTE-A, but LTE-A is only available in three cities as far as I know.
I am viewing this forum from the SM-T807 version, and the lag is ridiculous. I don't believe it is the bloatware...

I'm sorry to disappoint. No, I haven't. I was just thinking of getting one the next time I go. depending on the circumtances and this would give me time to do something with the 6 tablets that I currently have.
Ebay acquired a site called gmarket.co.kr a few years back where retailers in south korea sell crap online; shipping is only in-country, but the other obstacle is making payment; you owuld have to wire your funds internationally, but there are fees on top of fees depending on how many banks it has to cross separate from daily forex changes. The cost for a single unit would probably end up to be a thousand dollars. For the shipping, I know people who are among the 27,000 american military deployed over regions in south korea, and through them shipping can amount to a APO or FPO address with USPS Priority Mail.

Hello. Just would like to get the ball rolling on this, as no one has yet to make a thread for this device. I realize chances look slim right now of any possibility, but we might as well get to brainstorming.
hope in some Root user method ....

That isn't the point of the other thread the other thread is for tmobile v30 which already has a bootloader unlock just no fastboot flash commands
The first post states its for the T-Mobile model, but all the information up until now is the same as we currently have no progress. It just so happens there are more T-Mobile users of the V30 than there are of the Verizon model. Once unlock, fastboot, etc can be addressed for one unlockable model any progress will branch off onto other US unlockable models.

Agreed. There's also a general bootloader unlock/root thread that even supersedes the T-Mobile thread.
LG V30 - Unlock bootloader and Root
https://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-v30/help/unlock-bootloader-root-t3665927
It was started back in September, and the T-Mobile thread was a fork of that one. Because the T-Mobile people already had bootloader unlock and didn't want to discuss bootloader unlock. So they started their own thread, and that thread op says he ONLY wants to discuss the T-Mobile variant in that thread.
mr turtle droid said:

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Well, Verizon LG V30 variant doesn't have bootloader unlock. It's quite different from the T-mobile situation. So, this Verizon thread is another fork.
ALSO, due to information not available back in September I wouldn't be surprised if some or all the bootloader locked carrier variants (like Verizon especially) have fastboot flash commands -- if someone could unlock the bootloader.
This is a complete turnaround from what I thought back in September, when it seemed LG had removed the fastboot flash commands from all the 2017 flagship phones. If you read that post I linked above I give my reasons why the change in thinking.
I still believe the LG Developer Bootloader Unlock list is the only GUARANTEED way these LG V30 phones can be rooted -- and thus why I advised everyone to buy the phones that would be eligible for that bootloader unlock list... But I would be very curious to see an AT&T or Verizon or even U.S. Cellular LG V30 model bootloader unlocked by some exploint -- to see what's underneath.
While this could all be discussed in the LG Bootloader Unlock and Root thread, there's nothing wrong with having a dedicated Verizon variant thread if there's enough interest. Basically you will need some developer to find an exploit.
Read post #2 of the T-Mobile thread. At first it seemed like it was starting out as duplicate/rehash of the LG V30 Bootloader Unlock and Root thread -- and I pointed out it was unnecessary -- until the op said he only wanted to discuss the T-Mobile variant. OK, then.
Same here.
Sent from my official carrier unlocked LG V30+ US998
I'm considering getting a V30. If I find a US998, is unlock & root virtually guaranteed? Also, it sounds like the T-mobile models are unlockable & rootable. If I find a carrier-unlocked T-mobile phone, will it be able to use Verizon's LTE technology (or whatever is the latest) or will I be stuck with GSM or something else that doesn't match the best Verizon has to offer?
Thanks!

The open market US998 V30/V30+ has not yet been placed on the LG Developer Bootloader Unlock list. Should be, soon (it's been six weeks since release).
The T-Mobile variant does not yet have root. One guy said he has it figured out, but he bricked his phone and is waiting for replacement. In the meantime, other methods are being worked on.
You wouldn't have Verizon CDMA bands with T-Mobile phone.

Okay so, since I'm sticking with the VS996 (for now) I'm really optimistic on root/bootloader unlock, just to clarify though, so the current situation is that the T-Mobile variant HAS unlocked bootloader BUT commands disabled hence no TWRP or root...
On the other hand we have the Verizon variant which has LOCKED bootloader, but could potentially have all commands intact/not striped away...
So all in all, if some amazing devs find a way to unlock the bootloader, we could potentially have a strong chance of root?, (Assuming commands are actually there)
With android 8.0 officially rolled out, I'm just wondering if anyone is currently looking for any exploits/or working towards cracking/unlocking the bootloader, thanks for any replies, staying optimistic :fingers-crossed:

Unfortunately, although I'm sure everyone in here is very appreciative of this, I don't think there's any developers actually working on the VS996, I hope there is/or will be for you guys, but don't get your hopes up...
You can't even get to the hidden menus with the Verizon variant.
Just so everyone is aware. The VS996 by Verizon does have root with unlocked bootloader. You can Frankenstein Flash vs998 firmware to 7.0 then update to vs998 8.0 then flash an exploit unlock.bin found in the 'WTF...' thread.
I successfully flashed my VS996 to 998, updated to Oreo then flashed the exploit unlock.bin and can confirm this method works.
Verizon can suck it again. Woot.
Hello!
I recently purchased an Note 10+ model SM-N976V, from Verizon. It's possible to flash an unlocked firmware to remove all the bloatware that came from the carrier?
For example to flash the SM-N976U or U1?
Thanks in advance for the help.

Look into changing your CSC, I am searching desperatly to find a way to root this device. First it doesnt support 5G nationwide (I have a screenshot of the verizon rep saying it supported both MM 5g and nationwide) second its slower than my s8+ with a safestrap rom clearing the bloadware. This is a phone with 12gb of ram and its out preformed in both speed (network and device) by a Galaxy s8+ with some custom firmware. Honestly I am to the point where F____K knox ill root if i get the chance.
Any updates? Has anyone found a way to get unbranded debloated firmware on n976v
That would be through SamFwTool. Bootlogo remains and many retarded settings and bloat remain on all leves put there by the makers of the device and chips, without our consent. This bloat is used to spy on the user and report back telemetry and marketable data back to someone who is totally misusing this data and should be convicted for it.
To truly own your own device that you have paid for with your own hard earned cash, sadly some idiots are preventing your legal right.
We should start a classaction lawsuit against everyone who are guilty of this, as well as convict them of restricting our Right to Repair. Separately convict them for wasting precious metals and polluting the environment.
They must release an unlocked signed bootloader and firehose programmer. Until they do, they are BLACKLISTED from ever getting any money from me or anyone of the people who constantly ask me what to buy.
If the device is U4 or lower there is hope to unlock the bootloader, root it, and completely modify it. Do not brick it in the process because the idiots have put mines inside the chip as part of their security scheme which really is a mafia extortion scheme to drink your blood like vampiers and keep you in the matrix under their control and steal your money.
How does one manually install the SM-F926NU/U1 OneUI 4.0 OFFICIAL RELEASE?
I have flashed the U1 software on to my AT&T SM-F926U phone so it is not U1. I was curious is it possible to flash the Korean official release? Is that the only one that's been released so far? Also, as far as unlocking the bootoader once your on ONEUI 4.0 does OEM unlock appear on the phone as I seen the cameras no longer die....?
The official rollout has been halted due to serious issues with the release (there are plenty of posts and news stories you can find on searching). So, right now, the answer would be no, unless you really MUST have it and can find it, I would wait.
As for the camera's still being locked when the bootloader is unlocked, no firm answer as of yet as there have been conflicting reports.

I have the Canadian W series with the U1 software installed. I tried installing the KOO series UKO (latest 7 December) with modified ODIN (abl(1) error; probably some sort of bootloader check error). So, no OEM/bootloader unlock for the US/Canada (blocking that has to be a violation of some law somewhere or maybe soon).

First, it's a good idea to read the threads already posted. Your question has already been addressed in a few of them. I've even posted about Sammy postponing the rollout due to several issues found in A12 in 1 or 2.
Second, in doing so, you'd see that regional models have different alpha codes on the end of the model number. The Korean model is NOT the same as the US, just like the Chinese isn't, etc.
Third, there is a thread that shares the process of using Odin to install the betas for A12. If you WANT to attempt it, please read that thread very thoroughly. Seeing that you've been a member since 2012, I'm sure you already know this.
Updates are rollin in I guess and we will get it for sure.
Thread closed due to redundancy. Please continue with your discussion here.

Every carrier? What? I know of 3 versions of a11 for the G8; 1) the korean Open 2) The Verizon version 3) The Canadian Open.
Hardly 'every carrier'. Updates are coming, slowly, and there is no guarantee any one individual carrier will update their software. That's an LG issue really, they have contracts with carriers with various stipulations that can affect say US Open version, which supposedly can't be updated unless all the other carriers update theirs first. It's complicated.
Call t-mobile, they can tell you when / if an update will be available. And of course, there's always the issue of what you've done to your phone. If you do something like unlock the bootloader, you won't get an update even if there is one.
cheers

ATT has also released A11 ? I've seen in some forums that it has.
For what it's worth on reddit T-Mobile users are saying they're getting the update. I can't speak for myself because I'm using a custom rom but yeah...it's out there

Actually, that's not the US Open variant, that's the CCA variant. I'm not sure what the difference is, maybe someone can elaborate.
The lg firmware site has it listed as the US Open, but download and compare the hash tags, they don't match. But if you download the CCA version the hash will match.
I've actually never heard of CCA before, it's Competitive Carriers Association, I've heard of BrightPoint, etc, but not cca. Until someone tries it, we're not sure which carriers it's compatible with re volte and vowifi type stuff.
cheers

My phone is originally BrightPoint. I flashed the US OPEN listed on the lg firmware site, hoping that it wouldn't throw up an NT ID error, but it does :-(
Additionally VoWiFi worked with the Canadian Open but it's not working with this rom. The default email app is also missing in the US version.
The software version shows as V30c-USA-XX, with a security patch of Dec '21.

Interesting that it's not working vowifi and nt error code, that should absolutely not be the case if it was the USA version, no way. At least not if you're here in the states.
Where are u using it? Canada? That might be at least part of the reason, have you ever used the a10 US Open there? How did that work?

Sorry for not clarifying earlier, I'm using the phone in India
To get volte and vowifi to work, I change the target region & country to ESA and operator to OPEN in cust.prop. And i also edit the carrier_code, telephony and vo_config files to contain details of the networks in India.
VoLTE has worked with many A10 roms, but VoWiFi worked for the first time with the A11 Canadian Open.
PS - Since I need an unrooted phone for Microsoft apps such as Outlook and Teams, I uninstall magisk after making these configuration changes.
