Is this rooting process from the initial page correct still correct for our wifi only 8.4's? And does this install a custom recovery as well?
[Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2, 10.1, 8.4 Q&A, Help & Trouble] sam_chk:
Just a thought.. Based on assumption that stock rom for say 8.4 wifi is there..

Download stock rom and somehow put root into the tar file and then flash using odin..

I have not tried but my tab is gonna come in nxt 15 days or so..

Knox counter is a permanent change. When the counter is set, your device is actually branded(eFlashed) and can never be undone. The only hope is too find a way to root that never trips the Knox counter in the first place. That is in the bootloader.

We who have rooted have already fallen on our swords.

[Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2, 10.1, 8.4 Q&A, Help & Trouble] ctenorman:
I think I'm probably going to stay on the stock rom once rooted, and I'm a little curious how I will update to the next version of the ROM when an update comes around. For example, will I simply choose to accept an update when it arrives, or should I be changing something in my settings, unrooting my device, or doing something else before I do an update?

I would go all the way and simply use a custom recovery with a flashable zip file, but I haven't seen any zip files of the latest updates that are made for custom recoveries, and I'm not exactly sure how to go about making one myself.

Any thoughts on the upgrade process post-root would be very welcome! Thanks!

Just root my T320. Almost everything was flawless - but after first boot Play market not seeing INTERNET. While dropbox and other apk's still able to enter internet. Made second reboot and now is ok - found in market Superuser by Chainfire - install it, confirm message about deactivating Knox - and now is total perfect :)

[Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2, 10.1, 8.4 Q&A, Help & Trouble] Manofjesus:
I don't remeber what version was before this root procedure, bow, when i entering recovery - i see

As i understand, this is factory stock recovery. And i still have root :)
[Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2, 10.1, 8.4 Q&A, Help & Trouble] SpringerRider:
I have rooted about five different devices. My s4 is the first device with Knox. I stupidly updated the bootloader part MF9 and ended up tripping the warranty flag. I thought, no big deal. It'll leak out of Samsung how to clear it. Then I learned it was an eFuse and that has creeped me out.

I carry insurance on my phone and it may be null and void, even if I unroot.

But my big concern are things like Google Playstore.

It is totally conceivable that they will be able to detect the Knox counter value. What will happen when they decide to lock Knox voids out? Of course, they want to sell things. But security is the end all.

I want to root the 8.4, if only to clean out the crap and install Ad blocking but am holding off for now. I may not leap until my warranty runs out, a year from now.

Just my two cents.
[Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2, 10.1, 8.4 Q&A, Help & Trouble] manigault:
No. Think of all the devices that don't have knox. And are rooted.
[Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2, 10.1, 8.4 Q&A, Help & Trouble] _dsouza_:
You will need to "un-root" in order to receive OTA updates for stock ROM. The process is quite simple: just donwload a stock ROM and flash it via ODIN. It will un-root your device, and you should be able to update the stock ROM OTA.

Actually this is even simpler: once a new stock ROM is updated, the stock images are availbale on the web *before* OTA updates are avaliable. And the process to update to a new stock ROM (from root) is also using ODIN.
[Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2, 10.1, 8.4 Q&A, Help & Trouble] ctenorman:
Fantastic, thank you!

Is SamMobile the best place to find those stock images, or is there an official Samsung site I should be visiting to find those updates?

Finally, will the rooting files at the start of this thread always work with any update, or may I run into a situation where I update via ODIN and then discover I can't root because the files at the start no longer work?

Thanks again!
[Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2, 10.1, 8.4 Q&A, Help & Trouble] Mike Austin:
Thanks for this. Does this mean keeping an eye open for updates as I will no longer be notified?
[Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2, 10.1, 8.4 Q&A, Help & Trouble] _dsouza_:
Yep. You can check SamMobile (http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/) for updated stock ROMs for all Samsung products!

---------- Post added at 04:40 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:38 PM ----------

Yes, SamMobile is the recommended place. Personally I also use samsung-updates.com (http://live.samsung-updates.com/index.php?device=SM-T320).

If you flash a stock ROM via ODIN, you will loose root access and you need to re-execute the root steps as discussed in this topic.

Does this work for the 8.4 LTE version?
[Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2, 10.1, 8.4 Q&A, Help & Trouble] Mike Austin:
As a precaution, I downloaded the stock rom (TM-325) from samsung-updates before rooting. I have not tried flashing it. I found I had to pay for the download from samsung-updates because the slow, unpaid, download never completed after several attempts.
[Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2, 10.1, 8.4 Q&A, Help & Trouble] Bloodlust:
So in other words, the LTE model is supported.

Well I finally took the plunge and rooted, I also installed sdfix.

Help needed

In need help please! I own the tab pro 10.1 wifi only (SM-T520). I rooted my device with Odin. After that I deleted bloatware and deleted Dalvik cache. After rebooting, my tab pro got into the known boot-loop (stuck on the samsung logo after the animation). I tried the solution for this many times (power + volume up -> wipe data/factory reset and wipe cache partition). I also tried to root it "again" with Odin (so I am able to install (custom) roms I think?!) Nothing helps. My questions are:

Is there anyone having another suggestion for me?

Will my problem be solved when I install a factory or custom rom (which unfortunately are not het available for my device)?

Could a drastic measure help? For example have the battery removed and replaced?

Or am I the first(?) with a bricked tab pro?

All suggestions are welcome! Thans in advance.

Your welcome, yep it's a great app indeed I've been using link2sd for years. On mine I have to reinstall apps after restart though weird.

Might have something to do with kitkat, whose knows.

I keep getting apps stopping all the time, Google play, tapatalk, and a few others.

After I click OK there working fine though.

I'm thinking it might be cause I ran sdmaid or it could be because of link2sd, or something else.

I want to fix a broken TV remote with an intermittent fault, is there a simple program just to monitor the Infrared port of my XDAIIi of any signals? I thought of using some type of TV remote program but to constantly put it in to the learning mode would make the whole process of repairing my remote a pain. I need the program to just sit there all the time giving me a indiacation of any recieved signals. Any ideas?

Cheers
[General Topics] levenum:
I think there is a simpler and more convinient way:

Do you have a video camera, digital stills camera or even a web-cam? I think anything with a CCD or similar sensor will do.

I don't know of any program that might help you, but I know monitoring IR for real time signal on devices that don't support CIR is a problem which is why most remote control appsm like Vito remote only support certain devices.

Does XDAIIi support CIR standard?

I don't if the XDAIIi supports CIR standard! If have a kodak digital stills camra...
[General Topics] levenum:
Haven't you ever tried pointing the remote at the camera and looking at the display? For some reason, CCD sensors show infrared as white lite...

It works both with my old Sony video camera and Olympus digital stills camera. You can see the led light up as if it were a regular lightbulb, even in daylight and with the red plastic cover still on.

This should be perfect for your purpose.

[General Topics] levenum:
Glad it works for you!

I just remembered that they used to sell Sony video cameras (around 98 I think) with infrared light built in for shooting in the dark. It was pretty neat, since you could see everything through the camera like 'night vision' yet others couldn't see you. Also you could by a separate light for models that didn't have the built in option (like mine).
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] bellabee:
Hi everyone! I'm new here so please don't eat me alive!

I recently got a ZU and it has come to my attention that X-reality Engine isn't that great after all the hype I've seen all over the internet. Perhaps it's just me, but coming from a person that deals with images on a computer screen on a daily basis (graphic designer) the processing by this so called "engine" really doesn't do video any justice. :( For me, even with the brightness low at 60% there is so much grain from the over sharpening and contrast increase that it's unbearable and in effect find the default "off" engine so much more superior. Is the Bravia 2 engine any better? I was under the impression that X-reality was an update from Bravia 2's shortcomings? Does anyone else agree with me on this stance that X-reality engine is a pointless ploy for sony to combat Samsung's over-saturation of screen graphics?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] fnf:
To me X-Reality really shines with high-resolution contents (i.e., at least 720p, preferrably 1080p). If you try viewing 1080p videos on YouTube there is a good chance that you will like having it enabled. For lower-res contents the over-sharpening does make it much much worse compared to simple bilinear filtering though.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] LordManhattan:
Yup, I'll have to agree. It looks good on HD stuff (like the Smurfs trailer), but it looks absolutely dreadful if you decide to watch some SD Seinfeld episodes with it enabled.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] hamdogg:
do a backup.. and try one of these three mods.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] SpyderTracks:
I think Kramer looks like that in real life ;)
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] bellabee:
I've never rooted before, but pretty scared that I'lll brick it or something! Plus I have a Mac, and from some minor research I've done it seems that all the rooting programs are made for windoze.

And by the way, which mods are you talking about?

Haha! I actually tried watching a 4K video on the phone with X-reality on, was decent and definitely sharper but perhaps it's just me but I don't like too high of a contrast let alone high sharpening on videos I'm viewing.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] LordManhattan:
It's pretty hard to hard brick a Sony phone, so don't be scared. I can't really see why you should go through with rooting though. You're willing to do it so you can try some other video/photo "enhancements", that might actually make you "regret" it all? (not that rooting is bad or anything, but you may end up in situations that you don't want to be in). I wouldn't root unless there are some other stuff you'd like to do with your Ultra.

Questions.

- Have you rooted anything before?

- Do you know what rooting is?

- Are there any software stuff you'd like to change?

I'm sorry if these questions seem a little silly, but i have no idea what level you're at with only 3 posts. You might know a lot, and you've been lurking around here for years, or you came straight in here last week knowing nothing. I don't know :p The reason i ask is, i and a lot of people around here don't want to be tech support in case anything goes to hell, or you have no idea what you're doing next week and you delete some system files :p I don't want to be here when that happens :cool:
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] bellabee:
In all honesty, I have never rooted anything before. I came from a samsung mega which I wanted to root because I found out that I could not get rid of the bloatware unless rooted, and moreover I wanted to install Cyanogenmod- as I hate the samsung UI. On my ZU I would like to have the power to install apps/ move apps to SD, and also I have Limpus Battery (I think it's called) which needs to have root access to enable some power optimisation when battery is low or something.

I have a fair idea what rooting is and forgive me but isn't it like jailbreaking because you're accessing parts of your phone that isn't ready accessible to the general consumer? Pardon my crass differentiation but to me it's similar- could be totally wrong though! Haha! I've jailbroken my iPhones before so I'm pretty sure I'm capable of doing it.

I think I will leave it be. I've just set the setting for X-reality off when watching low/standard def videos and usually turn it on when watching HD, but weirdly enough I always find myself switching over to default off- perhaps it's just my preference? :angel:
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] SpyderTracks:
Rooting is the same as jailbreaking, both achieve administrator access the the system portion of the os. If you do want to root, it's straightforward but make sure you read all the stickies before doing anything.

There's an app called tasker in which you can automate pretty much anything based on location, time and various other criteria, so for instance you could automate X-reality being turned on at a certain time or wifi to turn on when at home. I believe it will work for most things without root, and worth a look.

There isn't all that much you really need root for on a Z ultra so perhaps list your needs, you may find you don't even need root.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] zemblance:
I haven't touched Windows since the 90's and I manage to root OK! FlashTool and the SDK are all you need and are available for Mac. "Linux" commands also usually work unaltered.

PS - get a Samba app for your Xperia and it will show up on your home network like any other computer. Great way of syncing over folders on your Mac.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] dannejanne:
In my opinion X-reality should be shut off at all times. It's only extra processing that should have been taken care of on the original source anyway. Why add extra processing that destroys the authors vision when creating it. Granted some amateur stuff could probably benefit some from it at times. But still it's only a software gimmick. You won't see the true source as intended. It's like heavily equalizing the sound on music. And no I don't use any of the sound "enhancements" either.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] bellabee:
I completely agree! I think it's a gimmick.
