I just sended my Mega yesterday to be JTAG.

Will see what happens when it arrived........
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] gonehaywire:
I noticed there is no link for the Knox off, and have the bugs worked out by this time? I can't seem to find much on these things and I have two I want to get working. In fact, is there a place here to advert. items?
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] caguas56:
This thread is Dead, there is no hope for the Mega.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] kmt5150:
How did the JTAG go?
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] caguas56:
still in line to be worked on........

I'll keep you posted....
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] caguas56:
Are these people dependable?. there has been a couple of weeks I have send my Mega and I have no respond from it. but they took my money!.

I have send emails with no response and on their google + account there are other complaining about the same.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] kmt5150:
ANY TIME WHEN DEALING WITH PEOPLE/BUSINESSES YOU DON'T KNOW, USE PAYPAL AND A TRACKABLE METHOD OF TRANSPORT.

That being said, how did you pay and ship it?? If using paypal/credit card, file a fraud complaint and that'll get their attention.

As for if I've used them, I have not. I bought the xperia z ultra and am only keeping my sammy devices for dev purposes.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] kmt5150:
What we need..

To root this phone, I believe I may have a way to go about this.. We need someone to basically go about this the same way they went about rooting the SGH-i537 on 4.4.2. We would need an insecure kernel to flash WITHOUT touching the bootloader/recovery. Thus, we would need someone to crack the kernel plus make it ODIN flashable while not tripping the secure file verification. After that, we'd need to install SU/busybox then SAFESTRAP it. Bootloader is locked down harder than a nun's underwear, so we can't get around it by any other means except SAFESTRAP at the moment. After that, the ROMS will flow til your cup runneth over. I just want to be able to fix the GPS lock problems and hoovering battery life, plus remove some bloatware. Is that too much to ask? lol...:crying:

JTAG would still be a viable solution, but extremely involved. The SGH-I537 and SGH-I527 share the same system board (MSM8960) so theoretically the rooting methodologies should be the same, except for obviously being different basebands and thus different files making it impossible to use one's files for the other's rooting.

In spare time, here's some homework. Find someone to go about making a 'pwndkernel' for the SGH-I527 with the latest baseband update. I'm too busy with my consulting business to dedicate time to the process.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] caguas56:
I used Paypal and did trace the shipment.

the website said "Awaiting Fulfillment" since December 15

Still up to date no answer back to me. :crying:

Final Update

Today I spoke to Mobile Tech and there is no hope to JTAG the Mega.

this phone is DEAD. I like it because the big screen.

no one is developing anything for it.

I should get my phone(factory) by this friday

I have lost all communications with hopsin4444 and I have lost my Mega that I lended to him.

no judgement on hopsin4444 since I don't know what happen to him, so, I'm not going to do so but I consider my phone a lost.

so, go move to a better phone.

My fear now is that with the blockage of the bootloader other manufacturers/phone companies will follow.

That's it for me in this forum, over and out...... :(:crying::rolleyes:
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] starmaster10:
Sorry to hear that and you lost your phone..there is a jtag for the i527m (canadian version) of the mega I believe as I was one of the people who helped with the fikes to actually get the jtag to work..I have a jtag box myself with the ends to connect most phones..I just have to pay for the software now which they want $80 for it which is kinda high.

I might bite the bullet and get the software so I can maybe jtag some phones myself. :D
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] caguas56:
Good luck then.

I wish Samsung quit playing games with us the consumer and free us from evil!!!!!!!!!!.

if samsung made a mega with the latest technology and at least 6" I'll buy it

for now, I'll stick to my original mega and Note 3.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] starmaster10:
Thanks and I believe there is a mega 2 from samsung with a 6" screen..:)

Check here http://m.gsmarena.com/samsung_galaxy_mega_2-6482.php
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] caguas56:
It is but with the same processor and memory.

Not interested. I want the latest technology not the same.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] starmaster10:
Forsure I hear ya..it has the same specs..they should make it a little more powerful. .
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] dparrothead1:
Sorry, Man!!!! I moved on to the Nexus 6. Nice big screen and not locked by AT&T.....doesn't even have any bloat!!!!
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] caguas56:
I will be doing the same shortly as soon as I get the money.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] latinohot:
If I remember correctly, Samsung first released the 5.8" Mega, right?

then they released the 6.3 Mega, right?

So that means that they might be ready to release the 2nd generation Mega, that suggests that it should be the bigger Mega is coming soon,

but that's just me hoping.

Sorry to read about Cagua's lost Mega
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] caguas56:
The mega 5.8 was an international one, the 6.3 us and Canadian.

the "new" mega is inferior than the original in my opinion.

I am getting the Nexus 6.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] sevenworlds:

Where can I find the correct recovery please help
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] latinohot:
The progress went cold a while back, no further development will be done as far as I know
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] caguas56:

My Mega Track

According to UPS My Mega is now on Commerce City Co. also, just read a news article that the Mega 2 is coming with 6". 2.3 gig quad processor and Android 4.3 soon.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] hopsin4444:

BAD SALES?, is it any wonder?. If they want it better sales they have to make it with better processor and video resolution in the first place!. If they make it I'll buy it. the only drawback is that it would be 720p still.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] hopsin4444:
True but the main reason suposibly that it had bad sales is because it is so big I guess the consumer does not like massive phones lol I do but then again I have big hands so it's perfect for me

Are we feeling a bit anxious?

This isnt a drunken prom queen in the back of a station wagon.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] WileyDigital:
I need this so bad, been without a phone for a week now and the only other phone I have is this one (that isnt being used by someone else). Even with it unlocked it wont connect right, stupid AT&T rom. Now just to find a ROM for it.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] hopsin4444:
Huh?
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] WileyDigital:
I needed a recovery for my i527. Havent found one for it yet. I know there is some for the non-us version, but it would be nice to be able to load a recovery. I also havent found any ROMs specific to i527, dont know if other Mega ROMs will work with it, but still searching.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] hopsin4444:
All of Roms that silesh Nair makes will work for the i527 once I get the recovery finished but I'm confused about what you were saying about the connectivity issue a ROM won't fix that if your having issues with your data there is something else going on if your unlocked like me for T-Mobile or something than you need to input the correct APN settings
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] WileyDigital:
I figured my issued out. The phone is a AT&T phone, I am now on Verizon. According to my findings, the Mega's hardware is incompatible with Verizons network. Wont recognize the correct spectrum of the network for LTE. Phone is not even compatible with CDMA networks, so cant connect to voice. Phone just became a tablet from this point. Still want to put a custom ROM on and get rid of the AT&T junk.

[Samsung Galaxy Mega] captemo:
No, I still have my original. I have had a few issues with it. Sound and SD card issues. They are sending a warranty replacement. So they are expecting a phone to be return which is having functional issues. So its kind of a free flash no?

Thought maybe we could benefit ???

Me......I think you need to find a new job if reading is too much effort for you.

I'll tell you this bro if you don't keep talking to them Amd causing a scene about it they will say that the phone has been delivered and that you are trying to scam them you gotta keep calling and telling em cause that crap happened to me with at&t and T-Mobile

Do we have the Odin file?

well, while my finger and thumb are in the shape of an "L" on my forehead, why don't you shoot me what i need. we will strap the skates on and see what happens.

what is your confidence level?

Confidence level is at about 60% last time I tried it I booted up all the way then randomly rebooted to bootloop

getting pumped up here. want to make sure i am ready.

cant really back up much..........check

i have unrooted, should i re root?

would there be any benefit to a factory reset?

odd thing... went into 3e recovery.........shows the red triangle in belly of android ???

tried to clear Cache...........red triangle from belly of android and a big error underneath, then phone boots up automatically

Unfortunatley we can't clear caches with the 3erecovery all it will allow us to do is just.....

Is there anything useful with 3e recovery?

This will flash recovery and Knox off hopefully that's why I need someone that's willing to flash through Odin and if it fails then flash back stock through odin
