I didn't suggest that in the first place. You're being rude and hasty to shun help when you don't even know me and what I'm capable of.

Who are you to point fingers? All you're doing is moving us away from the point of this thread (TO ACHIEVE ROOT ON THE T399). If you continue this unnecessary energy, I will no longer reply. Try helping instead of judging, that might work better for all of us.

I think this is something we can all look forward to. I don't want to hear any more out of you until you get this phone rooted. Now get to work. BTW, what's your sign? Are you an Aries? It matters when rooting.

Someone root this phone, it's tearing the community apart! Lol
[Samsung Galaxy Light Questions & Answers] Proud2banoob:
Maybe we need to include that info as part of our plea to Samsung for the source code? Please, please, oh great Android gods, provide us with the source code for this diminuative powerhouse of a phone, that we may cease rending our little community asunder!!!
[Samsung Galaxy Light Questions & Answers] shabbypenguin:
Hate to break it to you guys but kernel source doesnt mean you guys will be much closer with root. the key part of all that is still going to be missing and thats the ramdisk, which you cant get without having a copy of teh boot kernel either by dumping by root or having an odin tar.

my suggestion is see what kies says about your device and restoring it, if it lets you then you can grab the tar it downloads ;)

edit: dont suppose anyone for giggles has tried this? http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2565758
[Samsung Galaxy Light Questions & Answers] awd_fan:
Source code is useless to most people. The recovery image, at least, or better, the whole stock firmware package is what I want.

Tried Kies. "SGH-T399 is not supported for updating via Kies". Probably because there is no update yet. I'm thinking it'll be March or April before we see an update.

saferoot did not work for me.

I'm exploring an idea with ADB Backup that may (low probability) work, feel free to chime in if you have any insight.

Somewhat simplified:

"ADB backup -all -apk"

extract the contents of the .ab file

add su binary to /system/xbin

edit the manifest and repack

"ADB restore (ab filename)"

Install Superuser.apk

Extracting/editing will have to be done on a Linux box, I wouldn't try this in Windows.
[Samsung Galaxy Light Questions & Answers] shabbypenguin:
yea but samsung doesnt release that, its through kies or leaked. and since kies is erroring out it doesnt leave much for hope. shame about saferoot.

unfortunately it doesnt work, bin4ry's adb backup root used a timing glitch to inject root but that was patched in 4.2 and back ported. besides that i dont believe it actually backs up the whole system just the data from system apks.
[Samsung Galaxy Light Questions & Answers] tazmaniondvl:
Im willing to try anything, just got this to replace my SGH-T679 and even without root, this phone blows it out of the water. I can only imagine what we can achieve with root and an OCed rom/kernel.

[Samsung Galaxy Light Questions & Answers] Demonoid111:
Is this even legit?
[Samsung Galaxy Light Questions & Answers] tazmaniondvl:
Is this true?

"I would if not for the fact there is no development for it and it has a locked bootloader which means it will never get a custom ROM unless it's TW based. But yeah, I've heard a lot of good things about it. Sure beats the Exhibit which unfortunately isn't hard to do as we all know so well. :-p"

im currently trying every root method out there, and so far none have worked. i wonder if its because our bootloader is locked anyone have insight?
[Samsung Galaxy Light Questions & Answers] jasamour:
I found this too. The official statement from this product saying they've added support for Samsung SGH-T399 is posted in a GSM forum HERE. The OP has some youtube videos showing the software and unlocking the phone's IMEI and stuff.

However, there is a note: Before performing "Direct Unlock" ("Repair IMEI", "Repair Network", "Read Security", "Write Security", "Read EFS", "Write EFS") operation for SGH-T399, you need to root the phone manually or write special firmware "SGH-T399_for_Unlock_and_IMEI_Repair" from Support Area.

Plus, one of the first replies to the tread was a user who tried it on the T399. I joined the site and asked this user who had successfully unlocked his phone using this software if this was legit. Turns out he managed to unlock the phone, but has not tried root. He suggested for me to try flashing the support file which has root incorporated. I told him to send me the flash file, if he can. We'll see what happens. That flash file might have what we need to get in. It might not work because their files come in proprietary extensions (Octopus – OCT files for Octopus Box).

1. How to Build
- get Toolchain
From android git server , codesourcery and etc ..
- arm-eabi-4.6

- edit Makefile
edit "CROSS_COMPILE" to right toolchain path(You downloaded).
EX) CROSS_COMPILE= $(android platform directory you download)/android/prebuilt/linux-x86/toolchain/arm-eabi-4.6/bin/arm-eabi-
Ex) CROSS_COMPILE=/usr/local/toolchain/arm-eabi-4.6/bin/arm-eabi- // check the location of toolchain

################################################################################

How to build Mobule for Platform
- It is only for modules are needed to using Android build system.
- Please check its own install information under its folder for other module.

[Step to build]
1. Get android open source.
: version info - Android JellyBean 4.2.2
( Download site : http://source.android.com )

2. Copy module that you want to build - to original android open source
If same module exist in android open source, you should replace it. (no overwrite)

# It is possible to build all modules at once.

3. In case of #Audia
you should add following text in 'build\target\board\generic\BoardConfig.mk'
BOARD_USES_ALSA_AUDIO := true

4. You should add module name to 'PRODUCT_PACKAGES' in 'build\target\product\core.mk' as following case.
case 1) e2fsprog : should add 'e2fsck' to PRODUCT_PACKAGES
case 2) libexifa : should add 'libexifa' to PRODUCT_PACKAGES
case 3) libjpega : should add 'libjpega' to PRODUCT_PACKAGES
case 4) keyutils : should add 'libkeyutils' to PRODUCT_PACKAGES
case 5) libalsa-intf : should add 'libalsa-intf' to PRODUCT_PACKAGES

ex.) [build\target\product\core.mk] - add all module name for case 1 ~ 6 at once
PRODUCT_PACKAGES += \
e2fsck \
libexifa \
libjpega \
libkeyutils \
libalsa-intf

5. excute build command
./build.sh user

What I have read is that in order to root, the source code is a key component, so exploits can be found.
[Samsung Galaxy Light Questions & Answers] tazmaniondvl:
Ok guys, I have done a lot of reading, and I know why we are failing to root with all known methods. I have read it a lot of guides that we need to have an unlocked bootloader to obtain root. I have never had a locked boot loader so I don't even know where to begin. If we can get it unlocked I think superoneclick will work.
[Samsung Galaxy Light Questions & Answers] WetWilly:
Don't think so. The LG Optimus F3 (the nearest alternative to this phone at T-Mobile) has a locked bootloader but can be rooted with Motochopper.

Just got it yesterday and was all excited to remove bloatware and start titanium backup using an article on tsar3000 but Odin didn't work.

Odin froze while flashing and my phone was stuck in download mode. Now when booting it shows a "firmware update error" on the screen. Totally flashed the wrong firmware because my numeric dyslexia kicked in!

Guess I'll have to wait for the stock rom to be released because Kies doesn't support restoring the firmware!

Not asking for help since it seems pretty dead end but if anyone has pointers let me know! Until then I'll be patient with the stock rom update :angel:

Hello all,

i was wondering if you guys could give me some advise on this, here's the questions :

i never had a kindle tablet before but since the specs on this tablet are phenomenal and price is not bad, do you think it could be a good idea to get this tablet instead of other out there and rely that it'll get rooted soon and have good custom roms in the near future in order to have with some patience a full android tablet but it's actually a KF HDX ??

let me know what you guys think
