I've tryed everything to try and root my Samsung Galaxy Tablet 10.1 4G(Verizon) SCH-I905. I've used Bin4ry, tryed to flash cwm via odin(says it successfully flashes, then i try to flash superuser, the recovery still says android.) I've searched and tryed everything to no avail. Can anyone point me to some good directions on how to root this dang device.

Specs:

Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 16GB

SCH-I905

Current Android Version: 4.0.4

Anything else just ask.
[XDA Assist] Pony Express:
Hi,

Please give me a few minutes to see what I can come up with as I don't find that device on XDA.

Back soon with my findings- check Post #4. :)
[XDA Assist] Darth:
I'm pretty sure this is the guide that can help. It even claims to be super easy. ;)

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1657758

People report success in the thread. But as hinted above, may want to ask in this thread if its for sure for your model.. Before flashing anything.

Good luck! :)

Edit: I looked through the thread a bit....apparently its outdated. Also, there's posts claiming there's no root method for 4.0.4 for the i905. Perhaps my colleague above will have better luck.
[XDA Assist] Pony Express:
Edit: Here is a post on XDA that will hopefully guide you to success in rooting your SCH I905.

And a bit more info from Google.

Also be cautious as Verizon models have been known to be difficult or even not possible to root.

As always, read carefully before proceeding and remember to make a backup first.

Official ClockworkMod 6.0.1.2 Recovery:

When i try t flash it says

"Write data size is too big[8|SOS]! [Data:5685248(B) -> Part: 2560/2560(2kb)]

Tegra_Nand_Write: Error to DownloadPartition_odin![0xffffffff]"
[XDA Assist] Darth:
The problem I see here is most the guides and posts about that device are quite old. Links end up dead after so long and the files are hard to find.

Its not part of XDA, so use at own risk , but the link "Google" that Pony Express posted may be your best bet.

Hopefully it works out. ?
[XDA Assist] lancemdewitt:
I just keep getting the same crap "Signature verification failed" I still have the "Android system recovery <3e>" I've tryed to get CWM recovery flashed but get the error i posted in the last reply i posted.
[XDA Assist] Darth:
I can only find out dated info here on XDA. And dead links.

Did you try the Google link above?
[XDA Assist] lancemdewitt:
Also i've tryed that google one 5 times to no avail says everything goes smooth but then i try root checker or look for SU, nope lol. I mean i've never rooted a tablet before but many phones like Droid X, Droid X2, Rzr Maxx, Rzr Maxx HD. So i mean i know the gist of what should happen yet nothing. :confused:
[XDA Assist] Darth:
Well, honestly, I could post a dozen links to other websites here....but I don't know what works and what doesn't out there.

My advice at this point. Google "root sch-i905 2014". Look for things posted from this year. I've seen a lot, but can't read them all, or try them obviously. Lol

Hopefully you find what you need. Seems there's others as frustrated as you with the same device. That's what happens when devices age.

Again, good luck! ;)
[XDA Assist] Pony Express:
It has been known to happen that once root has been achieved on a device, a manufacturer or carrier will come back and provide an update that causes the root exploit not to work. I have had that personal experience while helping a friend root a device a few months ago.

In summary - your process appears to be sound - unless however there is a device specific recovery ( the one above is for a galaxy s 3 ) that is released after the last carrier/manufacturer update it is likely not to work.
[XDA Assist] lancemdewitt:
Well thanks for the help anyways I guess I'm SOL, sucks because I don't even like this POS figured I'd like it more rooted....

I still cannot get the phone unlocked to use a SIM card other than my US T-Mobile SIM.

Hi! i have a GT-S5282 and i find myself rooting it and i think i didn't do what is right..so all of a sudden the fone just restart itself and stuck on samsung logo.. i can put it to odin mode but there is no recovery.. its already 1day so i decided to ask for help so here i am.. but im not worried because this is just the 2nd problem of my fone

my number one problem to this fone is..i dont have signal and i dunno why.. maybe its because of its hardware..i already go to repair shop.. when the technician is trying to fix it...at first there is a full signal..then when im going to change and put my sim card back..the signal is gone.. i do try other sims but the result is the same..

i hope you can suggest some alternative solution for my problems..

Thank you in advance :)

what i want is to root it and install 4.4.2 , a good Rom like android revolution hd for htc one with tweaks ( something similar i mean) .

and i searched the forums , what i found was for 5210 . so im sorry if i double posted .

is there a guide for safe root and also a suggestion for a good rom to install it ?

Thanks for your help .

Can someone please point me to best instructions on how to revert NC2 back to MJE. And how to root MJE. Thanks
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] barrackOBAMA:
Go to android development section.

Find dutchdogg54 post with the firmwares.

Download the mje rooted odin file.

Or download the mje stock unrooted file.

Extract the file.

It will not be a .md5

Place the file in the pda section within the odin application (on computer)

*side note- do not press anything other than the pda button in odin. You will destroy your phone*

Put phone in download mode.

Make sure odin sees your phone in the COM ports and then you can hit start.

It will auto reboot. And you're good to go.

Odin versions do not matter

[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] acdnykon:
As I did not post these files, you'd have to go to the source to find out. But from reading what it says in the thread, this is strictly a STOCK only version of 4.3. Unless it specifically states otherwise, I would take this to mean that this is NOT a rooted version of this stock file. Get in touch with dutchdogg54 to make sure, but I'm going to have to say no that it's not a rooted 4.3 rom.

[Unrooter]

Small tool which actually is not unrooting your device. It's faking unrooted status to the download mode.

So the steps would be.

1. kdz stock kk

2. root

3. use the tool

4. unroot via superSU

So that if anything happens to your phone you can claim warranty.

What about custom recovery, custom Rom and superSU?

I have used iroot, autorec and a bunch of custom zips if not a full rom.

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Potetsjokolade:
Hello, recently the screen on my nr. 1 Nexus 5 broke, (does not work at all) and I though I could just switch motherboards with my 2. nexus 5. When I had switched motherboards, and put the battery cable into the motherboard I saw the backlight on the screen turn on, and then instantly off again, and the phone refused to boot. So I though, what the hekk, I'll just reinstall everything on my nr 2 nexus 5. I switched motherboards so they were back at their original phone. And I booted, but I didn't get any signal. I tried to return back to stock, with this guide, and with Android 4.4.2 (KOT49H) as stock rom.

I'm back to stock now, but i still got no signal, and the phone does not give me any notification if I remove the simtray, or if I insert the sim.

Any thoughts? What can I do to fix this? Or have I just been really unfortunate and have broken two phones?

The phones says the Baseband version, imei, nettworkstype and network is unknown, with the simtray in

Thanks :)

EDIT;

I did the following, and it fixed some problems. It now does say my imei and baseband version (M8974A-1.0.25.0.23), but network, networkstype is still unknown. My signal Strenght is -83dBm 15 asu. And the phone detects the simtray activity, and if the sim is inserted.

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wag3slav3:
I had a problem similar to the one you're getting with my nexus 5 after sending it in for factory repair. To fix it I had to seat the black antenna cable on the right side properly. If you damaged the post (center of the plug) or if it's not seated properly you'll get a tiny amount of signal occasionally, but never be able to get any data or make any calls.

It's a cap and post type plug, to unplug it you have to pull straight up, I know it looks like it's soldiered, but it's not.

Here's my issue I replaced the screen at the shop and I had similar problem. My signal was messed up. I couldn't register to any network. Occasionally I would get some signal here and there but very weak. I took it to the same shop and they said that the charging circuit needs replacement because the connections of that circuit has something to do with antenna. I said ok. Charged me 25$ and now it works fine. However. Before I changed that charging circuit I did some debugging, I used different sim card from different carriers (bell fido and viegin) they all seemed to work fine on my phone except my carrier (mobilicity). After they changed the charging circuit (which had some problem with antenna pins attaching to the speaker that lays above it). The phone works fine. Good luck
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] webitube:
Your post is what helped me find the problem. And, it was exactly what you described -- I accidentally disconnected the antenna.

Hello! Pardon me if this post not belongs in this forum. But it will be easier for me to decide which device I should buy. So if possible then help me to buy a perfect device according to my habit.

1. Well, first of all I'm not a heavy user who will use custom rom or any other advanced things.

2. Pure android doesn't matter much to me or constant update also.

3. In my country, at Bangladesh Z1 is only 50 US dollar more that Nexus 5.

4. It is rainy season also in my country. So Z1 is better I think.

5. Only problem is I use Sony Xperia Go now. So UI is quite a bit similar as my Xperia Go running 4.1.2.

So suggest me a phone WHICH HAS LESS BUG if possible :) Thanks in advance mates :)
