[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] original_sc:
No luck

How do you request an unlock from AT&T as a non-customer?

I request an unlock as a former AT&T customer, and after several phone calls and an online request, I still couldn't get the unlock code. At first AT&T claimed I had reached maximum number of unlocks for my account, and then they said this phone/tablet is associated with another account and only the account holder can request the unlock code. Another friend of mine also requested an unlock and was also told she had reached her maximum allowable unlocks (5/year). There is no way she could have requested 5 so far this year. In fact, it's zero. In all, good for you that you could get the code, but for me, it's a very frustrating experience.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] ahmadshawki:
I got an unlock code a couple days ago for Note 3 as a previous customer, though I had a line for 1 day. With the Note 8.0, I called them and told them I'm not a customer but I bought a used one with clean ESN that was fully paid, so they take your email and open a case for you, after which they contact you. In both times I was lucky that they sent me the unlock code in less than a day...
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] TheDogman:
This is BY FAR the easiest ROOT method available for this tablet. Over and over I still see people posting ?'s about rooting this. Use

SAFEROOT

. It's a no brainer and takes 5 seconds. Enable Developer Mode on your Tab. Install USB drivers to PC. Plug the tablet in. Run install.bat from unpacked SafeRoot folder in admin CMD terminal. DONE.

-smiles- :good:
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] ramjet73:
Doesn't this use the same exploit as towelroot? If so it has been patched in kernels dated June 3, 2014, or later which shouldn't be a problem for Note 8.0 users unless Samsung releases another OTA update.

Just be aware that rooting is only halfway there if you want to run custom ROM's and kernels. Flashing a custom recovery will still trip the KNOX "warranty void" flag if you have already upgraded to 4.4.2 even though that can be done from a rooted Android ROM using apps like Flashify.

ramjet73
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] TheDogman:
The "official" Samsung stock ROM is still sitting @ 4.1.2 so this Root method still works perfectly when @ stock rom. You are correct in that people wanting custom roms will still need to go about loading preferred recovery methods. I offer the root method simply because there aren't a lot of custom roms floating around for this Tab and it allows for users to gain access and modify things they obviously wouldn't be able to on the stock rom. I doubt there will be any OTA for this Tab ... but you never know. -smiles-

[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] ramjet73:
I didn't realize that AT&T still hasn't provided the KitKat upgrade to this version of the Note 8.0. I have the WiFi only version (N5110) but I know that Rogers Canada has provided KitKat to their users of a model very similar to the AT&T version.

If and When AT&T decides to provide that update both rooting and flashing alternate firmware will be more difficult and likely to trip the KNOX flag in the 4.4.2 bootloader that voids the warranty. :(

ramjet73
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] TheDogman:
Canadian variant "M" got the update. Us unlucky folks in the US have not gotten it (yet). I remain hopeful ... but ... ahem. AT&T. Need I say more?

Once the update is here and we AT&T users have a workable rom it shouldn't be too difficult to get it rooted and flashed ... question is "when" and "if" AT&T throws us all a bone.

We can only hope. It's a great little Tab. -smiles-

I bought a Note 8 off eBay and it turns out that it is locked to AT&T. I spent over an hour on the phone with AT&T today trying to get it sim-unlocked, but they refused because it is still in the previous owner's contract and registered on that person's account. I have no way of getting in touch with the previous owner, and since I bought it from a merchant on eBay, the merchant also does not have access to any previous owner's information. Completely stuck since I wanted to use the tab abroad next week.

Does anybody have any suggestions? AT&T was being a complete ass and even though we agreed that they are the only entity with access to the previous owner's information, they refused to "get involved with third-party sales". So I am going to be stuck with an AT&T-locked tab for over a year.

Are vendors like codes2unlock.com safe? Actually, would they even be able to provide a code for this device and would it work?
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] ahmadshawki:
I'm sorry I can't help with this, but I can assure you that a lot of people used the online SIM unlock services and they reported either success or refund. I don't know how to insure that your money, but you can ask around...

Gentleman...now that we received 4.4.2 what's the suggested root method...

Towel root and saferoot don't work on this update.

Just thought I would ask for those of us with the AT&T variant.

Thanks,
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] ramjet73:
Now that you have 4.4.2 with a KNOX bootloader, you need to be really careful about tripping the KNOX flag, especially if there is anything left on your warranty.

Use this option at your own risk but it might be worth a try. The kernel exploit that Towelroot and Saferoot used was closed with a commit in early June of this year, but it's possible to flash a Samsung signed kernel from an earlier release with Odin, perform the root, and then re-flash the signed stock 4.4.2 kernel. If done carefully it may be possible to use this method to root the stock ROM only without tripping the KNOX flag. I'm not going to outline the details since I have the GT-N5100, but I used a similar process successfully on a Galaxy S5.

If you don't care bout tripping the KNOX flag, which you will do anyway if you flash a custom recovery, kernel or ROM later, the easiest way to root is to use Odin to flash a custom recovery and then flash SuperSU from that recovery.

ramjet73
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] kcour2006:
Thanks man, but I'm not as well versed on how to do all the kernel sourcing and such.

Also, I'm not aware of a custom recover for the ATT variant of the Note 8? I looked at CF's Auto-Root and didn't see the build...I put a message on his thread to find out...

Thanks for the reply though.

[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] kcour2006:
No. No root yet.

I tried to update with root but it failed every time. Had to unroot and then accept the update.

There is also no going back once you update. At least not yet.

All, [MENTION=5281610]dandroid7[/MENTION] has reached out to me for help finding a root method. I have successfully found workarounds to root several 4.4 locked bootloader devices and there is a chance I can help. However I need someone to send me the MF1-to-NI2 OTA update.zip if there is one out there. Someone can also try to Odin back to MF1, root, then pull the update and send.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] ramjet73:
This is the closest I've seen to that and that file can be downloaded here.

As I've mentioned in that thread, I was able to root an AT&T Galaxy S5 by using Odin to flash a signed version of an older kernel, root with Towelroot, and then restore the original kernel, but I don't think the OTA firmware has what is needed to restore just the kernel to the 4.4.2 version.

Perhaps the patch to the kernel could be applied separately after root is achieved with the previous kernel version but I don't own this model of the Note 8.0 and can't test that.

ramjet73
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] muniz_ri:
The kernel swap/towelroot method is exactly what I had in mind and I can create the NI2 stock, signed kernel using the MF1 kernel and NI2 OTA but I am missing the MF1-to-NI2 ota.zip (that file you linked to is the MF2 to NI2 ota). I can even work with the MF1 to MF2 ota if someone has that.

Also, even if I get the correct files and create the kernel there is a good chance that the device will not boot using the MF1 kernel and this is all for nothing but worth a shot.

[MENTION=6800840]K1979C20[/MENTION] figured out that king root 4.1 works to root 4.4.2 on the sgh-i467. I just rooted using that app, then used an app called "supersu me" to switch from king root to supersu... I have root!

Now we need to figure out how to port/flash a rom...

I have signed up to beta test for the flash fire app from [MENTION=631273]Chainfire[/MENTION], so even though we don't have a Normal recovery like twrp/cwm... we still have the possibility to flash a rom using flashfire.

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] swoopt25:
Ok im new here and i do know a little bit but definitly consider myself a noob still. My issue is this.......i bought my s3 2 weeks ago with the new OTA 4.3 pre installed searched high and low and was able to root and install a custom recovery..(philz cwm) and remove knox with the link provided in one of the forums. Then i tried to flash cm 10.2 and i got the status 7 error and looked it up and figured it would work after deleting the get prop lines to the semi colon so i did that and re flashed and then got the status 4 i believe...I couldnt find a solution to that so i tried a few other roms and couldnt flash those same status 7 error, then i came across beanstalk 4.4.1 and for whatever reason succesfully flashed it and ITS GREAT and everything is working smooth as can be however i am flash happy as im sure most of us are and love to try out different roms and pick my favorite one after a few days driving each and i CANT......I am seriously sorry if this has already been answered but legit i been searching days high and low to see what i could find and nothing. So i have no idea why i was able to flash beanstalk, but other roms will not work. The picture is my phones info.

That's the thing when I first rooted I had twrp but then flashed philz because I wanted a 4.4 ROM and so I flashed beanstalk and it worked great and I'm still running that one and whether it sounds stupid or not I like to test out a bunch and support these guys work but I can't flash anything else,..... maybe I'll try twrp again and see if I can flash with that, who knows though because I have seen a bunch of stuff about flashing a new modem. I just want to wait until I get a little more feedback, and by the way thank you guys for the ideas.

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] 4b3ck:
If status 7 error come up you have to definitely check version of your CWM, so update to latest. If you was able to flash BeanStalk, you should be able at least flash Quantum or Carbon rom. Some rom's have restrictions/problems with bootloader version that you have (MJB). But be very careful with flashing bootloader (or downgrading)... this is the easiest way of brick your device.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] swoopt25:
I know I can't mess with the boot loader or anything and I don't plan on trying it. But you made my point exactly if I was able to successfully flash bean stalk and it's running great with no issues and I do have philz latest cwm recovery installed I should be able to flash all of those but for whatever reason I can't....... I was getting the status 7 error at first and then I edited the updater script as that thread instructed step by step and then I got some message with a four the first time..... and since then anytime I try to flash anything I no longer get either of those errors now I get something like this which I have no idea about

Hello and thanks for reading ,

I am experiencing a very bad tablet battery life since November 2013.In these past month's i have visited forums, flash factory OS,turned off the radio(and wifi), installed many battery saving apps (didn't work), boot safe mode(drain still there), rubbed snake oil(really dangerous) and the battery still drains faster than a monsoon gutter.

Below is a screen shot of the tablet after I left it to idle for one night .

Any suggestions in solving of the problem are much appreciated and no ,i do not like 4.4.2 cause it breaks my FLAC playback (and still drains@8% perhour)(currently running 4.3)

Thanks and regards shinra_co

I've got exactly the same problem; battery drains very quick even with airplane mode on. Tablet Idle is the culprit according to the power settings. I wonder what this means and how to solve this issue. can hardly use the tablet, i always need to recharge it.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Newfarm:
Same here, and this just started a couple of days ago. Usually, with my usage pattern, I only needed to recharge once a week. Just over night this changed to nightly... Quite annoying.

Me too

Registering only to add my "me too" to this problem. The battery is depleted in a few hours (6 to 10) when the tablet is turned off, no sleeping, turned off, even after using the recovery menu option in order to force the power down. It is always lightly hot to the touch when it is automatically discharging, again when turned off.

This is my first Asus device and I am trying to request a refund, I don't want a new device, or a repaired one. I want my money back. I am not sure this will happen because it was bought on December, but this is not tolerable
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shinra_co:
5 Months in and various updates later (KK 4.4.4 KTU84P right now).

The battery still drain away @ 5.0 per hour minimum.

As per original post, I have still not been able to find the source of the drain.

wakelock detector, better battery stats and battery doctor have been of little help this past months.

Assuming it is not software related, what are the chances it is the hardware ie the battery itself being the culprit.

if so i think i'll wait for the rumored 8" nexus tablet.
