Hello, i have one question.
I have a Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 ( SM-T113 ) i can't find any rom and root package for my pad.
Maybe someone can help me?
I support this request. The T113 is a new device. I was thinking of getting me a cheap t110, but the t113 is also cheap. If it would be possible to root this I would take it.
Rooting SM-T113
Hello everybody
I struggled to root my Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 Lite
(SM-T113). So I decided to shared my experience and writing this tuto.
Of course, this is "a non standart" device, and elements for rooting
SM-T110 or SM-T210 didn't work. Android version of this device is 4.4.4
Methodology and tries :
I have proccured myself the Samsung official firmware (here). This image
allow me to get back during beetwen the experimentations. I tried several
experimentation and restore the device after each fail.
Installing with Odin the Clockworkmod (CWM) for SM-T110 , for SM-T210, and
SM-T211. (Has preconnised here) Each time, when loading the CWM, I got a little
(1 ascii character) exclamation mark at the top-left of the screen. The device
didn't boot on recovery
Installing with Odin the (TWRP) for SM-T110. Same symptom
Installing philz_touch : against the message with only the red exclamation
mark.
I conclude of checked of some signature before executing recovery.
Using Kingo root application : software try to root during 20 minutes and
finaly fail.
Using Towel root application : The device isn't reconized
Conclusion: Security breach for rooting have been fixed in this version of android
I have downloaded UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.46 for android. The idea is to push this
application by the standart android update way. (native recovery).
Sending the zip archive 'as is' => failure to check the whole archive
Re-sign the archive with the autosign tools => failure to check footer of archive
Rewriting the update-script (see here) and (here) and auto-sign the archive
: failure to check footer
I am procured myself some pre-rooted image. Odin fail to import them. (and I
have no succed to use heimdall for linux on my debian)
I have try to improve the official samsung Image by adding root manually , using
simg2img and make_ext4fs. Odin fail at the same point
It's remaining me two way : Or I try to generated a correct update file, or I
try to understood why odin fail to import prerrooted system and my custom
image. I choosed the second option.
The offical update is splited by several blocks, each block having is own
header. A master header provide global information about the image (number of
blocks, size, ...). I have putting some spies in simg2img and
observate the headers of official update and of my custom uptate. Result is
surprising : It is missing 4 bytes by headers. in custom update. According to
samsung orginal update, missing values seem to be constant. I suppose it's a 'magic
number', checked by the device to be sure the 'good' update is applied. So I
modifed this headers in make_ext4fs for adding the missing constants. My custom update is now
accepted by my devices, and I got root (!)
I will now describe how to generate and import this update.

I or Xda-developers are not responsable of any damage one your device, in particular if you bricked it
You waranty will probably void
Rooting device may lead to some dysfonctionnement, or may open some security breach. You are the only responsable.
1. What do you need :
Your device, and a cable to connect it to your PC
A Windows distribution, with Odin (www (dot) samsungodindownload (dot) com/) and the samsung drivers (www (dot) samsung (dot) com/us/support/owners/product/SM-T110NYKAXAR#")
A Linux distribution, with the appropriate compilation package (build-essential), and with git.
A way to transfers big files beetwen your Linux and your Windows.
The Official samsung update (best-tech-reviews (dot) com/update-sm-t113-t113xxu0aoa4-android-4-4-4-2152 or rapidgator (dot) net/file/7140bfdc421eea86eda5a5cbca00216e)
The UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.46 in zip format (download (dot) chainfire (dot) eu/696/SuperSU/UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.46.zip?retrieve_file=1") (or root program for your android)
Method assume you never installed root on your device
2. Generate the update
Uncompress the Samsung official image.
Code:
unzip image_official.zip
tar -xf image.tar.md5
Uncompress and make_ext4fs and simg2img (here)
Code:
cd ..
git clone https:// github.com/YuLaw/ext4-utils.git
cd ext4_utils
Download and applied the patch (see attachment)
Code:
patch -p1 < ../patch_ext4_utils.diff
Build ext4_utils
Code:
make
Extract the image
Code:
cd ..
unzip DBT-T113XXU0AOA4-20150121104149.zip
tar -xf T113XXU0AOA4_T113OXA0AOA4_HOME.tar.md5
ext4_utils/simg2img system.img system.img.raw
Mount the image
Code:
mkdir mount_point
sudo mount -o loop,rw system.img.raw mount_point
unzip the UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.46
Code:
mkdir UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.46
mv UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.46.zip UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.46/
cd UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.46/
unzip UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.46.zip
cd ..
Now, copy common file and armv7 one the mount_point. If you use an other
device, replace the armv7 repository by the appropriate repository according
to your device processor. You can refer to the
UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.46/com/google/android/update-binary to find them.
Code:
sudo cp UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.46/armv7/{su,supolicy} mount_point/xbin
sudo cp UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.46/armv7/su mount_point/xbin/daemonsu/
sudo cp UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.46/armv7/libsupol.so mount_point/lib
sudo mkdir mount_point/etc/init.d
sudo cp UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.46/common/99SuperSUDaemon mount_point/etc/init.d
sudo cp UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.46/common/Superuser.apk mount_point/app
sudo mv mount_point_app/etc/install-recovery.sh mount_point/etc/install-recovery.bak
sudo cp UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.46/common/install-recovery.sh mount_point/etc
sudo chmod 0755 mount_point/xbin/daemonsu
sudo chmod 06755 mount_point/xbin/su
sudo chmod 0755 mount_point/xbin/supolicy
sudo chmod 0644 mount_point/lib/libsupol.so
sudo chmod 0755 mount_point/etc/install-recovery.sh
sudo chmod 0744 mount_point/etc/init.d/99SuperSUDaemon
sudo chmod 0644 mount_point/app/Superuser.apk
We will regenerate the file system. Do not umount them. If patch on
ext4_utils is not applied, you shall applied it now.
Code:
mkdir output
sudo ext4_utils/make_ext4fs -s -a system -l 1500M output/system.img mount_point
cd output
tar -cf system.img system.img.tar
md5sum -t system.img.tar >> system.img.tar
mv system.img.tar system.img.tar.md5
You can now transfert this file to your windows operating system.
3. Android prepartion
You must ensure your device is allowed to install apk from untrusted source. See
in option/application or in developper menu option
Connect the android to you pc.
Boot your android device into downloading mode. On SM-T113 Samsung galaxy Tab3 lite,
press power, volume down and pad when booting.
Run odin, ensure Repartion is NOT checked, and select the AP (PDA) button. (The
only checked case is autoreboot and F.Reset time) Load the previously generated
file and click start.
Your android device may now reboot and install the root application.
Congratulation, you have now rooted your device. You can clean up the downloaded files.
4. One of these step fail, what I can do to come back. :crying:
You may import with odin the official samsung firmware or proceed to a factory return from the recovery.
5. May I eat my devices if I can't root it ?
Samsung user manual say to not do it.
samsung tab 3 sm-t113 root
Thank for the update about for the root. But I don't have Linux and I don't know how to use Linux too. It's there a way without Linux
If you don't have linux, you can try using Cygwin. This is a linux like environment running on Windows.
or if you find my solution is too complicated, I do it for you.
Warning: before following the next step, ensure your device is Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 Lite SM-T113
Simply download the file :
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0Bwao3SgtdOPPYm9XNF8wQXEyWjg/view?usp=sharing
unzip file and upload it to you device with Odin
Nb: This file will remain on my google drive until I need space or until I decide to remove it. (in a long time)

Thank you for your great work!!
Do you think the package will work also with Tab3 lite SM-T116? (Sm-t116 should have only the 3g module more than sm-t113)
Root Worked
Thanks for the your great effort grizzlyfute.
Worked perfectly and finally got my device rooted

No. Package will erase the system partition, including configuration file (/system/etc), and probably some drivers. Importing the SM-T113 package will probably put the 3G module out of service.
I suggest you to procure an 'official firmware' for your device (see in Settings/about for the exact version) and follow procedure in post#3.

I tried to follow your linux-instructions (by using cygwin, with an official sm-t116 firmware), but something go wrong (i think cygwin doesn't know batch commands like "sudo", or "su" etc..).
I put your md5 file to my sm-t116: the results is that the device is rooted, but no network connection works (Wi-Fi too) .
I jump back to the original firmware, maybe in the future someone will develop the firmware for the sm-t116 version.
Thank you for the Help
Thanks buddy! It works! :good:
Just got my t113 today and now rooted. Awesome!

FABULOUS!!! And thank you! And have i said fabulous? And thank you??? And this, only for giving me rooting hope!
I am a proud user of a gt-i9100 for a few years, rooted/unlocked/custom rom(ehndroix), so, all the 9 miles, but, that´s the phone... And since i am not very proficient when it comes to using odin, and if you don´t write all the steps, i am like a fish out of water (can´t breathe or swim) and i am afraid to do some wrong step.
So, when you say upload it to your device, which will be the parameters in ODIN?
Edit: I confirm, it works, i was afraid of doing something wrong and brick the thingy, but its working fine, thanks to odin and pda and this developpers work!:victory:
!! Thanks !!
I followed these instructions step-by-step on my SM-T113, but for some reason the device would always fail to receive the image I'd built (Odin would just sit there saying NAND Write Start! for a while, then fail. So I tried downloading your precompiled version... and what do you know, it worked straight away.
Thanks a ton, HUGE help!
(q)how to root tab sm-t116nu ?

Sorry for the delay.
I encountered the same problems before I make the patch. Cause of the problem is the file generated by ext4_utils tools is not immediately compatible with the sm-t113 device. I have to add constants in the encapsulation headers for the device to accept the file. You can see details in the patch provided.
To determine theses constants, I put some spies in simg2img and extracts the official firmware. It is not exclude these values change in function of the device.
For the sm-t116, I suggest to open an other thread. I think the works can be picked up and adapted.
wifi issues?
Thanks for your work!
I have successfully rooted my tablet, but its now not connecting to a weak wifi signal it was previuosly connecting to. In fact, it previuosly rratd the same signal as "fair".
Is this connected in any way to the rooting package, and can be resolved somehow?
Hello, thanks for your help! now, i have my Samsung SM-T113 rooted.
but, there any way to put the cmw?
I want to make a backup image and not as .... thanks
Anyone know if this way working in model SM-T113NU ?
Samsung official image ?

I don't understand what is the "Samsung official image" :
i don't see it neither in the 1. What do you need : list , nor in attached files
I thought it could be "The Official samsung update ", but its name is not "image_official.zip" I see in the first line of code, and moreover I see "unzip DBT-T113XXU0AOA4-20150121104149.zip" in the following lines.
any chance to make more easy the way to get root? btw I have the variant SM-T133NU 4.4.4 KK please!

FINALLY!
We Present To You
SamPWND!
Root for the USA Variants of the S8 & S8 Plus Devices!
(This thread will focus only on the S8+)
This thread had been closed/locked until further notice. The thread and links should remain active and the thread has served it's purpose. You will need to search the thread if you have any questions pertaining to root or any errors/issues that you are facing. The other reason I have decided to close the thread is because it has gone off topic one too many times, people like to argue and debate and MODS have had to come in here 1 too many times to clean it up so as to make life easier, I will just shut it down. Please do not bombard me with PM's for root assistance because if it has been answered in this thread already (and it most likely has) I will just direct you to search in the thread if I am able to respond at all.
ALSO, please do not utilize our firmware/root files/method without gaining permission first or I will ask for the thread to be removed/locked. Just because the thread gets closed does not mean we didn't spend a lot of time to get to this point.
Thank you and enjoy SamPWND root!
DISCLAIMER:
We are not responsible for any damage done to your device as no one is "forcing" you to root your phone! If you are not sure of how to follow instructions or use ADB then I would suggest waiting for someone to help you or that you read up on how these things work before diving head first. The ENG system is not very stable when it comes to root as well as it has a ton of tools and binaries not available on stock devices so we are not responsible if you break something while on any firmwares but especially while on the ENG firmware.
DISCLAIMER 2:
Please do not take our work and post it elsewhere. We spent a lot of time on this for people to take it and use it as if it is their own. With that being said, if you have a better process for something or find any issues/errors, please PM myself or one of the listed contributors of this root method, do NOT post it directly in the thread because it causes confusion. We know with 100% certainty the files and method presented WORK. If it is not working for someone there are a number of possible reasons why. If users start modifying our files/scripts and posting them and you decide you are going to use someone else's files/scripts, do not post in our threads asking for us to help you because we will have no idea what was modified or changed and will just tell you to use the original files.
Returning to Stock:
- It is possible to return to 100% stock and it is very EASY to do.
- This is the reason why I provide both Normal, and Comsey ODIN's.
- All you need is a full stock 4 files firmware of your choice.
- Extract those files. Open ODIN and select the 4 files in their respective slots.
* IF YOU GET ERRORS such as model mismatch, start with 1 partition at a time to find out which one is throwing the error. (In my experience, it is the BL file that causes the error.) Once you find the culprit, throw that partition into the other ODIN. (For example, the BL file is giving an error in Comsey ODIN, throw the BL file in NORMAL ODIN and flash it by itself.)
* Typically you might have to throw individual partitions into either of the ODIN's but in the end you will be back on full stock firmware.
What doesn't work while rooted?
- On ANY ROOTED device, anything that utilizes "SafetyNet" will NOT work.
- Magisk and/or SuHide will NOT work. Our bootloader is still locked and these two modify the boot.img which would cause our devices to not boot up and having to start the root process over again, you have been warned!
- Systemless root also does NOT work. Again, this patched the boot.img which we cannot do because of our locked bootloader.
- Battery currently only charges to 80%. There are a few that feel it legit doesn't charge fully but others are claiming they get the same amount of life as they did with a 100% battery so the 80% might just be a visual issue or "fake" when it is really at 100%. Either way, we are still looking into this.

@V0idst4r (for help in creating a "1 click" method for part 1!)
Initial Description on the process:
We are essentially flashing a modified 4 file firmware package in ODIN and then utilizing a few binaries in conjunction with SU binary and a permissive kernel. We will then be running some ADB commands and in order to have a fully working, amazing root with all things working we will be utilizing a stock system.img & a root script in conjunction with Flashfire. If you want to know all the technical details, you can take apart the files if you would like. It is released, so it is no longer a secret!
PART 1 Instructions: NEW
Flashing SamPWND 4 Files Firmware:
1) Download the PART 1 FILES Listed Below (this includes SamPWND_Root.zip and Initial ODIN 4 Files FIRMWARE and ODIN's if you do not already have them.)
2) Extract the 4 Files ODIN Firmware Package (also extract the ODIN's if you do not have them already.)
3) Open Comsey ODIN and select each partition and then select the files from the 4 File Firmware Package you extracted (BL goes in BL slot, AP in AP, CP in CP & CSC in CSC.) The options you select in ODIN shouldn't matter but I typically select F. Reset Time, Auto Reboot, Re-Partition, Nand Erase All & Update Bootloader.
4) Press Start and Wait for it to Finish. Once it finishes, if it boots into stock recovery simply select "Reboot System"
Take a breather, the ODIN portion is done (unless you have to start over for some reason...)
Now the NEW Root Process:
1) Once the phone is booted up, make sure you have ADB Enabled and connected to your PC. It should have prompted you to accept USB debugging as soon as it booted up.
2) Unzip the SamPWND_Root.zip
3) Double click "step1"
4) Wait for it to finish and once it reboots and comes back on you will be rooted with SuperSU!
5) Continue to PART 2 for "EVEN BETTER ROOT"
* It is a Windows bat file so not sure if it works on MAC. If you can't run bat files, use the OLD instructions.
* The bat will take about 30 seconds to run it's course. This is due to giving enough time for the remount script to mount the system as RW.
PART 1 Instructions: OLD
1) Download the PART 1 FILES Listed Below (this includes Systemroot + ADB zip, Initial ODIN 4 Files FIRMWARE and ODIN's if you do not already have them)
2) Extract the 4 Files ODIN Firmware Package, Also extract the ODIN's if you don't have them already.
3) Open Comsey ODIN and select each partition and then select the files from the 4 File Firmware Package you extracted (BL goes in BL slot, AP in AP, CP in CP & CSC in CSC.) The options you select in ODIN shouldn't matter but I typically select F. Reset Time, Auto Reboot, Re-Partition, Nand Erase All & Update Bootloader.
4) Press Start and Wait for it to Finish. Once it finishes, if it boots into stock recovery simply select "Reboot System"
Take a breather, the ODIN portion is done (unless you have to start over for some reason...)
Now the ADB Process to actually Root:
1) Extract the Systemroot + ADB zip listed below in an easy to find directory.
2) Make sure phone is connected to PC and ensure USB Debugging is enabled.
3) In the folder you extracted, you should see a "cmd-here" file. Double click it and it should open up an ADB cmd window.
4) Now we will start with the ADB commands:
- Type
Code:
adb push systemroot /data/local/tmp
What it will look like:
C:\Users\Thomas\Desktop\Minimal ADB and Fastboot>adb push systemroot /data/local/tmp
/data/local/tmp/systemroot/: 8 files pushed. 0 files skipped. 10.0 MB/s (7072263 bytes in 0.673s)
- Type
Code:
adb shell chmod -R 7777 /data/local/tmp
What it will look like:
C:\Users\Thomas\Desktop\Minimal ADB and Fastboot>adb shell chmod -R 7777 /data/local/tmp
C:\Users\Thomas\Desktop\Minimal ADB and Fastboot>
- Type
Code:
adb shell setsid su
What it will look like:
C:\Users\Thomas\Desktop\Minimal ADB and Fastboot>adb shell setsid su
(It will be blank with the blinking cursor, move to next step)
- Type
Code:
id
(you should at this point see that your are in a root shell!)
What it will look like:
id
uid=0(root) gid=0(root) groups=0(root),1004(input),1007(log),1011(adb),1015(sdcard_rw),1028(sdcard_r),3001(net_bt_admin),3002(net_bt),3003(inet),3006(net_bw_stats),3009(readproc) context=u:r:shell:s0
- Type
Code:
echo /data/local/tmp/systemroot/remount2.sh > /sys/kernel/uevent_helper
What it will look like:
echo /data/local/tmp/systemroot/remount2.sh > /sys/kernel/uevent_helper
(Again, it will be blank with a blinking cursor after you type the command in, move to next step)
- WAIT ABOUT 30 SECONDS BEFORE MOVING TO THE NEXT COMMAND
- Type "
Code:
mount
" (you should now see rw next to rootfs and system partitions)
What it will look like:
mount
(After we type in mount, we are looking for the below two items to say rw like they do in the next two lines)
rootfs on / type rootfs (rw,seclabel,size=1586716k,nr_inodes=396679)
/dev/block/sda19 on /system type ext4 (rw,seclabel,relatime)
- Type
Code:
sh /data/local/tmp/systemroot/root.sh
What it will look like:
sh /data/local/tmp/systemroot/root.sh
rm: /system/bin/install-recovery.sh: No such file or directory
cp: /system/bin/.ext/.su: No such file or directory
chmod: /system/bin/.ext/.su: No such file or directory
chcon: /system/bin/.ext/.su: No such file or directory
touch: '/data/.supersu': Permission denied
/data/local/tmp/systemroot/root.sh[55]: can't create /data/.supersu: Permission denied
chmod: /data/.supersu: No such file or directory
C:\Users\Thomas\Desktop\Minimal ADB and Fastboot\NEWSAMPWNDFILES>
5) If you followed all of the above commands to the T, your device will reboot and you will have SuperSU installed.
6) Install Flashfire from the Play Store.
7) Up to this point, you are on an ENG system.img with root that doesn't function the way we would like it to. This means you will feel a vibrate every time you try to gain SU access as well as it will take quite a while for an SU prompt. You can stay on this root if you would like to experiment with the ENG system, but outside of that I would HIGHLY recommend you proceed to the STEP 2 PROCESS.
PART 2 Instructions:
1) Download the PART 2 FILES listed below (this includes the system.img.ext4 and the add CSC Systemroot zip both provided courtesy of @jrkruse , view post #195 for specifics on what these are but essentially they are stock QD2 system.img and the zip has multi CSC, root, and a bunch of other goodies!)
2) Extract the System.img.ext4 zip and place that actual "system.img.ext4" onto the Internal SD Card (might work from external but some users have reported issues with chainfires root.zip and FF with external sd cards, this is not a fault of the SamPWND files/process.)
3) Place the entire Add CSC Systemroot zip onto Internal or Externdal SD Card (THIS FILE DOES NOT NEED TO BE UNZIPPED, THROW THE WHOLE ZIP FILE ONTO SD CARD OR INTERNAL)
4) Open Flashfire and grant it root when it prompts you. IF FLASHFIRE IS NOT LOADING FILES AND YOU JUST SEE A CIRCLE OR LIKE ITS CONSTANTLY LOADING, PUT THE PHONE IN AIRPLANE MODE AND THEN GO BACK INTO FLASHFIRE AND THE FILES SHOULD NOW APPEAR.
5) Press the + sign and select "Flash Firmware Package" & navigate to where you placed the system.img.ext4 and select it
6) Press the + sign and select "Flash ZIP or OTA" & navigate to where you placed the Add CSC Systemroot zip and select it, select Mount System as r/w
7) Press the + sign and select "Wipe" and select System data, 3rd party apps, Dalvik cache, Cache partiton, Cache Partiton format
8) Now, long press on "Wipe" and make sure it is on the top by dragging it. The order should be Wipe, Flash Firmware Package & finally Flash ZIP or OTA
9) Make sure the "Everoot" is disabled!
10) Flash away!
If you followed all of PART 1, then followed all of PART 2, then you will be updated to QD2, rooted with busybox (and have some other goodies) and the phone will be running great! Root will be stable and snappy as ever. Adaway, Root Checker, V4A etc. etc. are now all possible.

haha but we know it wouldnt be possible without you man
Dam it, if I wasnt drunk, and tired, I eould vet myself out of bed and do this now, lol. Thanks for all your hard work.
One thing i would suggest would be to either put the commands that need to be typed in as bold face type or im not sure if its possible on here, as im on my phone atm, but there are Code/code tags avaiable that will make them easier to copy and paste.
Again, thanks for this......I did not think it was going to be possible. This will be my morning present when i wake up, feels like Xmas.......

You are forgiven, lol. I figured it would be out in the morning, just not this early in the morning.
You guys should have gotten some sleep you may need it after this weekend.
What a nice thing to wake up to when I'm getting ready to head to work at 530 in the morning lol. Can't wait to give this a shot once I get off work 12 hours later. Thanks for everything devs.
S8 thread will be posted tomorrow, too late to do it tonight
You guys are the ****. Thanks for all of your hard work.
Just want to know if Knox will be triggered or not? Please also add this to the first post [emoji397]
Where's the best place to get the stock firmware we might need just in case? As far as best download speed etc.
Wow,. I honestly didn't think it was possible. Amazing accomplishment ellwigy.

I got mine here... Took awhile to download... Someone gave me the link in the 955U1 thread
http://updato.com/firmware-archive-select-model?record=F6B451FD73EE11E7963AFA163EE8F90B
Also do we need to back up our EFS/Imei stuff? I know its recommended when flashing roms in recovery but our bootloader is locked.... Is there a way to back up without root?
Edit* I asked about the backup before in a previous thread but didn't get an answer.... Sorry to ask again

And this will work with Sprint S8+ Correct? Lastly, since the latest update which included Sprint LTE Plus calling. We will still manage to have that feature after root right? Because boy do I enjoy being able to browse the internet and being on a call at the same time again lol

If you have the system.img for the latest update then correct, if not and you want those features with root you will have to download the AP and CSC from thw firmware you want

Just got the phone bootloader unlocked (thanks to Wh1t3Rose for the guide) and now need to add the LTE bands from L24. Settings > About says the model is BND-AL10, however, HCU client says it's BND-L22 so a little confused. Can't find any fw in firmware finder for L22 so assuming AL10 is the right model.
Can I now safely use HuRUpdater to flash BND-L24C567CUSTC567D1B344 (8.0.0.344) FullOTA-MF on this device? Or I am missing some steps like rooting / installing TWRP etc.?
Another question - what TWRP to use with HuRUpdater? Would the first one from here work for 7x?
Thanks for any comments!

If you need to change model bands , it takes more than that.
If you do like that , the model number doesn't change and modem bands also stay the same. You will need to do what is referred to as "re-brand" which changes the oeminfo file , then flash the l24 full ota.
Changing the oeminfo. Makes bootloader lock again. But the same key is supposed to still work.
It can be easy to make brick during re-brand
. You should Study the bnd-hwota-eng script to understand the process.

Thanks mrmazak. Is this a viable option of getting L24 bands on AL10?
Found the L24 oeminfo here. Is there a way I can backup the oeminfo from my AL10 just in case I brick it
Maybe installing TWRP and taking a full backup is a better idea but can't find a TWRP img for AL10 Naugat :|

I will look at it tonight when I get home.
I had found good hwota tool with the re-brand script in it. I had to translate from russain and add L24 oeminfo but ithas been used successfully.
I will look at that linked oeminfo and compare to the one I put in the hwota tool.
A search on the 7x main page for "bnd hwota- eng" or similar should show the tool like.
If you don't find Ivan upload again.

Thanks again, mrmazak. I saw your post in the other thread while searching but wasn't sure if there is more up to date information or an alternate tool.
Is it possible to just add certain bands to a model without removing existing bands? The only bands of interest are LTE 12 and 17 that are missing in this. The person doesn't really care about Oreo or Nougat - as long as it works with AT&T
Thanks mrmazak for updating HWTOA. I'll try rebranding AL10 to L24 tomorrow. Don't see a way to just add new bands so rebranding L24 seems to be the only way for now.
BTW, I took a backup of Boot, OEMInfo, System and modem_fw partitions. For some reason backup of Data partition failed after multiple attempts (unable to find partition for path /system and createTarProcess() ended with error 255). Is Data partition important in this case? The phone has no real data or app installed anyway as it's not in use.
Another question - planning to use HWOTA7 since I have Nougat right now but downloaded BND-L24C567CUSTC567D1B344 (8.0.0.344) full OTA - is this ok? I can't find a Nougat version for L24C567.
I flashed from L21C10 to TL10,before that I saved 8 modem files with L21 to him and the emui tweaker from the phone,then I restored it,and I had 4G+,try so.

There is a nougat full it's. It is labeled for Oreo roll-back. But should work for you . It is found as 'bond' intead of 'bnd'. ( Wait, the rebrand script is looking for three files. I will try and adjust the script to not fault out with just two.)
And link is actually in the hwota thread as a downgrade package.
I do reupload most current hwota file yesterday. I found a bug when I did a downgrade. So I proof read through the files again and re-uploaded.
Also added link to bnd-hwota-eng to the guide thread.

Did you do this to rebrand the phone to support other LTE bands? Or just to get OTA updates keeping the same radios? Sounds like latter.

Ok, will wait for the updated script. I downloaded rest of the files.
In the oeminfo folder I see AL10C00 img but not AL10C675. Trying to root the phone to be able to copy custom.bin/oeminfo so that I can go back to stock later. For some reason SuperSU doesn't work... will try Magisk now

I have been looking at some ways to edit the script to make it automatically adjust if there is only 2 update files. And it will be easier to just manually edit the one script before you run it.
Add a "#" to the front of line 332 of hwota.sh.
"HWOTA_BND\HWOTA7_BND-eng\hwota.sh"
Need to just comment out the line with "$TARGET_UPDATE_DATA"
Code:
echo
echo "Copying recovery files, please be patient and wait...."
$ADB push $RECOVERY $RECOVERY_TMP
$ADB push $RECOVERY2 $RECOVERY2_TMP
$ADB shell "dd if=$RECOVERY_TMP of=/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/recovery bs=1048576"

Cool, done commenting #332. Also was able to root and make a copy of custom.bin / oeminfo.
Now, going to run the script :fingers-crossed:
Alright, an update - it went through lot of steps as expected (including installing oeminfo and unlocking the bootloader) but ended up with "software update failed" error on the phone. On command prompt here is the last few lines of the log -

Error for update_data_public.zip was expected and on close inspection I noticed there was an extra '.' in the name of update_all_hw.zip. It was update_all_hw..zip.
So, fixed it and put the phone in fastboot mode and re-ran update.bat. It installed recovery and asked me to put into TWRP. I tried but it never went to TWRP started installing the previously copied ZIP files. It took a while but after it restarted, it went to straight to Android (YAY!). Went to Settings > About and say the model as BND-L24 and build number System 5.1.0.98(07DV).
So far it seemed everything was fine - then I inserted the FreedomPop SIM (uses AT&T towers), added the fp.com.attz APN and restarted it - AND the same issue, can't see the carriers and 0 bars
The oeminfo was definitely installed as I see a lot more options in "preferred network mode" but selecting Global or LTE or anything else does nothing...
Since I am not able to boot into TWRP, I wonder if that's causing an issue. Every attempt to boot into TWRP goes into a screen showing "installing update" with 5% status. It eventually (after 10 minutes or so) boots into Nougat.
Gave up and started from scratch (after installing TWRP img mount manually) and it completed successfully (with expected error for the missing update_data_public.zip). Build number changed to BND-L24C567B150 so both zips were installed yet the problem remains the same - no cellular connectivity and settings > More > Mobile Network > Carrier remains disabled...

It’s just that the L21 is always 4G,and on the TL10 it goes to 3G,I switched from L21 to TL10 because of gestures, now I have 4G+ as well as on L21.

Good catch with the renamed file. You did right thing to start over, because that first build number was not correct.
As far as I know this should have changed the radio files (modem).
I will keep looking for other confirmed way to change the selected bands.

Thanks mrmazak. What could be the reason behind disabled option? Earlier with AL10, I could go inside and see AT&T listed but selecting that would not help as corresponding radios were not enabled in AL10.
Now, even if L24 radios are not properly installed / enabled, I should be able to go inside and see AT&T listed - makes me wonder if all the radios are now disabled.
Is there another way to check what radios are available in a phone by running some app?

Not sure about other ways to check the bands. There are playstore apps that will show what band you are connected to, but have not seen one that shows which ones you can connect to.
side note::: Funkyhuawei (paid service) says of there rebrand guide, that you must flash the new firmware at least 2 times. So maybe take the flash one more time.
some general questions about your problem.
On about phone screen, what is shown for 'baseband' ?
does the imei # number show?
are you installing sim into slot #1 ? (#2 does not support 4g)
did you verify freedom pop sim is activated? (tested in other device)
edit:
found few posts in some "rebranding" threads, that say what you want to do might not be possible.
They say on the software side it will have drivers for the correct bands. But he hardware may not suppport it.

There are 2 long numbers for the baseband - both start with 21C60B. Yes, both IMEIs show and are the same as before.
Yes, I always used the dedicated SIM slot as I have a micro-SD inserted for backup.

I am inclining towards this as well - possibly missing hardware
Now, how do I get back to AL10C675 (don't see a Nougat option in FW Finder) and original radio? HWOTA doesn't have C675 as option, it has C00. I do have the original custom.bin and oeminfo but how do I create a zip to install with TWRP?
Hello pals!
I have galaxy watch D242 R800 with One UI 1.5 a Tizen 4.0.0.7.
I need to downgrade to One UI 1 and Tizen 4.0.0.4 for changign my CSC from XEZ to BTU. I want to use Samsung Pay.
Is there any possible way to downgrade SW on my watch? I know I can use this to change CSC but it seems too complicated https://forum.xda-developers.com/smartwatch/galaxy-watch/changing-region-galaxy-active-2-t3983895
Yes you can downgrade it to 4.0.0.4 and change csc again flash it with latest firmware.I had done it without any difficulty and get samsung pay in watch R800.
3. Next, from SDBstarterKidv1 double click on 'install.bat' (it will not install, it just flashes a window, but this step is required)
4. From the subfolder data\tools double click on 'sdb.exe' (it will not install, it just flashes a window, but this step is required too)
After noting IP address of the Galaxy Watch, Launch ‘Ansicon.exe’ from sdb_2.2.60_windows-64\data\tools (this thing will open a command prompt window, and all the action is done here)
5. Type: sdb connect [IP of Galaxy Watch]
6. Look at Galaxy Watch, it will prompt you to accept a message
7. If you try the sdb connect [IP address] again, it will say "already connected". This means we are connected and good to continue.
8. Type: sdb shell and Enter
9. Copy Paste: launch_app csc-manager.csc-pre-configuration and Enter

Hii. I am ankit.
I have downloaded custom rom and twrp recovery.
Now i want to get back to stock rom and stock recovery in my phone.
And also wants to use official updates of phone's software.
Can anyone help?
1.Download the odin
2.Download rome orginal a50
Windows
The easiest way for Windows is to just use Odin. This is a nice tutorial on how to restore to stock with it.
Linux
If you use Linux and don't want to bother with trying to use something like Wine to run Odin, the following steps are for you.
Get the firmware
You can use something like updato.com, but from my experience it failed 2 separate 4 hour downloads, and the download speeds are abysmal, so I can't recommend.
I use samloader, the only caveat with it is that you can only get the latest firmware for a region (because Samsung only saves the latest one), you'll need to use something else for older versions.
1.1 Install samloader, following their instructions
1.2 Get your Model number, it should look something similar to GT-I8190N, if you don't know it, here is a link on how to find it (it's made for stock firmware, but it should still point you in the right direction)
1.3 Get your region (you might be able to install from any region, but I think it's safest if it's the region from which the phone is bought), here you can find a good list of available regions
1.4 Check the latest firmware version available. Use the following command, and replace the model and region with your values
Code:
$ samloader -m GT-I8190N -r BTU checkupdate
The output should be something like this:
Code:
I8190NXXAMJ2/I8190NBTUAMJ1/I8190NXXAMJ2/I8190NXXAMJ2
1.5 Download the firmware, whose name you got from step 1.4. Use the following command, again replacing the values with your own
Code:
$ samloader -m GT-I8190N -r BTU download -v I8190NXXAMJ2/I8190NBTUAMJ1/I8190NXXAMJ2/I8190NXXAMJ2 -O .
After it has finished downloading, the output should look something like this:
Code:
downloading GT-I8190N_BTU_1_20131118100230_9ae3yzkqmu_fac.zip.enc2
[################################] 10570/10570 - 00:02:02
1.6 Final step is to decrypt the downloaded firmware. To do so, use the following command, while again, changing your values. Important: after the -V, you put in a number, that number is dependent on the file you downloaded from step 1.5. If the file ends with .enc4, replace the number 2 with the number 4, if it ends with .enc2, leave it at 2.
Code:
$ samloader -m GT-I8190N -r BTU decrypt -v I8190NXXAMJ2/I8190NBTUAMJ1/I8190NXXAMJ2/I8190NXXAMJ2 -V 2 -i GT-I8190N_BTU_1_20131118100230_9ae3yzkqmu_fac.zip.enc2 -o GT-I8190N_BTU_1_20131118100230_9ae3yzkqmu_fac.zip
Unzip the firmware archive. You should do so in a new folder, as a lot of files will be extracted.
Code:
unzip GT-I8190N_BTU_1_20131118100230_9ae3yzkqmu_fac.zip
Extract the files from the files, you got in step 2 (yeah, there are archived files inside an archive). The following command does just that, you can simply copy-paste it
Code:
for file in *.tar.md5; do tar -xvf $file done
Finally, flash all of the resulting .img and .bin files. On how to find which file goes where, use these instructions. If you use Heimdall for flashing, in that link you can also instructions for it.

The easiest way for Windows is to just use Odin. This is a nice tutorial on how to restore to stock with it.
Linux
If you use Linux and don't want to bother with trying to use something like Wine to run Odin, the following steps are for you.

Yes you should be able to use secure folder after going back to official firmware .

And if for example, I want to go back to Android 9, which is binary 5 and my A50 is Android 11, binary 7, is there any way I can ignore the binary or something?
