You can only root with Kingroot, don't try any other method or you'll brick it nor can you install a custom kernel or recovery.

Once you have root you can pull the partition images with EFS PRO or PARTITION BACKUP.

The best way to have a back up is to catch the stock Firmware update.

This is tricky so research how to do it.

There is one backup I know of:

I've used these images to try to flash by bricked 807a it says pass in Odin but won't boot pass the "this att device has unauthorized software" any idea what I'm doing wrong?
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ashyx:
Probably the images are too old and not compatible with your current firmware.

Someone somewhere must have grabbed some recent images.

Have you tried the emergency firmware recovery in Smartswitch?
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Yusuke14:
If you have an actual samsung support store, they can flash it for you. I had to do that with mine cause it the battery died and then upon turning it on it wouldn't ever fully boot up, it kind of soft bricked itself somehow. I could get into download mode and nothing else. They flashed the latest update for me and got it going again.

The .cfg file is the update. It needs to be adb sideloaded via recovery.

Boot to recovery and select adb sideload and then the file.

I'd complain to AT&T if your not modified. However once once modified, even after unrooting you won't get the update.
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Atomic Guy:
Has anyone had success rooting a SM-t807a with this or any other TWRP? I previously attempted using Odin on a 4.4.2 device with a 5.02 TWRP accidentally, receiving a 'NAND Write Fail' but didn't brick the device. From what I've gathered in other threads, this AT&T model has been problematic for root access. All for the purpose of wireless dualshocm 3 access on the device, hahaha.

(If in wrong thread, my apologies. Looking for an active thread for assistance)
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ashyx:
You're lucky ODIN has the built in safety that it has. If it wasn't for that you'd have bricked your device.

I suggest you research why you can't root an AT&T device via Odin.

[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wojo797:
No help? This thing is going in the trash soon as i have tried different comps..usb cables etc.. open to any suggestions
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ashyx:
Flashing just the recovery.img isn't really going to help you. You have modified the system partition by installing the wrong Xposed. It is the system partition you need to restore.

If you haven't overwritten the recovery partition and can still boot to recovery then leave it alone. If you cannot to boot to recovery then one of the below MAY work. Try the first one and then if that doesn't work the second(I doubt this one will flash anyway as its not signed)

T807AUCU1ANK1_recovery

T807AUCU1ANK1_recovery_repack

Bear in mind these are KITKAT recovery images.

If one does flash or you can already get into recovery you could try flashing the 2400285.cfg from posted in the previous link, but is likely to fail on a modified system partition. Rename it to update.zip then copy it to the sd card and then in recovery select 'Update from external storage'

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] georgedinu:
Hi guys,

I have a white Galaxy S6 Edge 64 GB Sprint model, SM-G925P and lots of trouble. I did not buy it from Sprint, as I'm not from US, instead traded my black 32 GB SM-G925F for this model, which is the international model. Thought that 32 extra gigs would not hurt and that the white one would be less off a fingerprint magnet.

Unfortunately, during the trade, I did not pay attention to a very important aspect: mobile data. I checked voice calls, camera and wi-fi as well, thought that everything should be fine. Mobile data is available only while accesing the settings and does not show while sliding from the top of the phone for the control panel.

As I got home, I discovered afterwards that I cannot make the update from 5.0.2 to 5.1.1 and that I cannot change the language from English to Romanian. The next day, I took the phone to a GSM service and they made the 5.1.1 update and mobile data work. I still can toggle it on/off only in the settings. The big issue is that I can use only 3G mobile data and that upsets me a lot. Of course, the guy that I made the trade with isn´t anymore to reach. Please let me know if I can do anything about 4G. I am really pissed off right now. Thank you very much!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] mkalter:
Hi,

I'm also wondering if there's something possible. I already tried QPST and QXDM for enabling more bands but it didn't work. I guess it's something with the modem. Since the 925F uses a different chipset than the 925P it's not possible to use that one, but I found out that the G9250 has the same chipset as the G925P and supports an extreme amount of bands (more than the 925F). But since our bootloader is locked it's not possible to flash the modem. And even then there could be a lot of problems. So we have to enable the bands in the modem.bin. But that's quite hard and I still haven't found out how to do it, but it's our only hope. (G9250 Bands: http://pdadb.net/index.php?m=specs&id=7836&c=samsung_sm-g9250_galaxy_s6_edge_td-lte_samsung_zero)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] georgedinu:
Thank you for your answer mkalter,

I am by no means a developer and never rooted a phone, but if there is any solution that won´t brick up the device, I'll gladly try it. It is very upsetting to know that I cannot use 4G on it just because a provider doesn´t want so. Had to learn the hard way to triple check a phone when trading it.

I am willing to Develop & Create a Method for the Locked Bootloaders of our Devices to be able to use ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries & also SuperCID ( Needed For Network Unlocking )

My one is not applicable for unlocking the bootloader, therefore i need a few files from another unlocked device to work with...

Right now, I am using the Modded Firmware SU4-21 Multilingual provided by [MENTION=6473170]CrashXXL[/MENTION] on my Droid Ultra. :)

Users, Developers & Modders Please Respond as i need the files real quick!!

Here's what i need...

mmcblk0p5 ( aboot )

mmcblk0p18 ( modemst1 )

mmcblk0p19 ( modemst2 )

mmcblk0p29 ( cid )

These are the files needed for my work from an unlocked device :)

Now how do i get them??

Here's the command-line(s) you need to follow in order to get those files out of your device...

Open Ternimal or CMD on your Computer and do as the following..

adb shell
su
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p5 of=/sdcard/mmcblk0p5
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p18 of=/sdcard/mmcblk0p18
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p19 of=/sdcard/mmcblk0p19
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p29 of=/sdcard/mmcblk0p29

Now simply copy mmcblk0p5 , mmcblk0p18 , mmcblk0p19 & mmcblk0p29 from the root of your sdcard to your computer or just make a zip file including them, upload & give me the link :)

[Droid Ultra General] zeeshan.siddique4779:
Great idea

this is a great idea of copying the unlocked bootloader to locked phone how much progress you have achieved ?
[Droid Ultra General] DROID_4_UsEr:
hey what if I just go into the mmcblk0p5 and change these lines "Device_isLocked.status code=0"

"Device_isUnlocked.status code=1" "Device_isLocked.status code=2" and "Device_isUnlocked.status code=3" knowing that 0 and 2 obviously are codes for bootloader being locked and 1 and 3 being code for bootloader unlocked what if I make all code values to 1 and 3 only to trick the device into thinking it is unlocked??? Probably not I'll probably end up in a brick or bootloop. I'm just so anxious to have my bootloader unlocked I'll try anything. If this doesn't work I will probably reflashed through Rsdlite and retry a different process. :( Owell wish me luck I guess
[Droid Ultra General] classic757:
Not sure if that will work but who knows, at this point it might be worth a try.

I too would love to have the bootloader unlocked on my Maxx but 4.4.4 is a hard nut to crack. The good thing about it is that Motorola/Lenovo phones are very hard to brick permanently. As long as you can get to fastboot, there is always a way to restore stock firmware. Wish you well. :good:
[Droid Ultra General] stealthllama:
Would be strange that an android security expert like jcase would miss the fact that you could just change a few numbers to get the bootloader unlocked...
[Droid Ultra General] classic757:
Also strange than an "android security expert" did not come up with the root method developed by [MENTION=6473170]CrashXXL[/MENTION]. Not knocking jcase at all, he does very fine work but there are lots of things that so called experts do not figure out otherwise they would be working for the major carriers to keep people like you and I from being able to root our phones or unlock our bootloaders.

Also, there are lots of things that I have accomplished with the different phones I have had that were the result of the efforts of developers and also non developers. And some things I just researched and learned how to do and some things with android I just figured out how to do through much trial and error. And that is my point. Some things concerning development are not learned except through trial and error. I won't knock [MENTION=6024319]DROID_4_UsEr[/MENTION]. At least he is trying, which is more than I can say for the carriers and the "experts", who have given up on KitKat 4.4.4.
[Droid Ultra General] stealthllama:

I stand corrected, the last thing I want to do is stop someone from trying something new and even maybe learning something! Sorry, maybe I was a bit cranky this morning because my bootloader i still locked :P

Backstory: I had an unlocked Maxx last week and I broke it.....the replacement is 4.4.4 :(

I am feeling a little salty lol
[Droid Ultra General] classic757:
Thanks. I appreciate your humility. And I understand. I am ticked also that 4.4.4 is like Fort Knox. On serious lockdown.

4.4.2 was easily rootable and unlockable. And then came 4.4.4. So believe me, I feel your pain.
[Droid Ultra General] DROID_4_UsEr:
Well it turns out that there Qfuse and that is a hard security to break into. Hopefully somebody takes my idea into consideration and makes an exploit. Or I might just have to do it my self. Jcase has abandon the Droid Maxx bootloader. So anything you have questions about should be told to him about the bootloader project for the Maxx. I've asked him on the Network nodes about it and he told me they have paused the Maxx project. And focusing there attention to Htc devices for now ?
[Droid Ultra General] stealthllama:
I guess it makes sense that they are pausing work on the MAXX project. What I really need to do moving forward is do more research before I purchase my next phone. I used to never take these things into consideration when choosing and mostly looked at specs, price, etc..
[Droid Ultra General] classic757:
I don't think the devs are going to give any more attention to the original droid maxx what with the droid maxx 2 making it's debut tomorrow. This is now a more than two year old phone and I think it has been given up on by the developers, who seem to be moving on to the newer phones, and understandably so.

With Marshmallow now here, 4.4.4 is considered a dinosaur and probably has been abandoned.

It is better to purchase an already unlocked phone, which is what I intend to do.

Then I don't have to wait ages at the mercy of the carrier for root/bootloader unlock.
[Droid Ultra General] stealthllama:
If only I could upgrade to a dev edition directly from Verizon for my next phone ;)

I am not sure if that is possible. I have been thinking about getting off of Verizon, I would definitely have more options. There are a lot of new phones out there by smaller companies that would be great to play with, just not possible on Verizon. As an example, maybe one of those OnePlus 2's. I can't post the link but just do a search for it. Looks pretty snazzy.
