[Q] [VZW i815] Possible to root if starting point is *STOCK OTA ICS*?

I think I may be the one of the few people anywhere who may be in this situation, but thanks to help from Electron and others, my VZW Tab 7.7 actually followed the OTA progression of FD01 -> FH01 -> LP10 to go from a stock-but-rooted HC to a stock non-root ICS.
While I first thought this may be a fortunate turn of events, I now am wondering if this is the case, because I am having trouble finding a way to root it.
To be clear, my current situation is that I am post-ICS, and not rooted.
The root method specified in the 7.7 development forum doesn't seem to work - it fails on the signature check. (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1849235), and OTA Rootkeeper seems to be for those who were way smarter than me and caught it ahead of time.
Any suggestions for achieving root, or am I out of luck?
Thanks for any help!

Download necessary files:
Verizon 7.7 LTE drivers: http://electron73.org/XDA/i815/Verizon_Wireless_I815_Galaxy_Tab_USB_Driver_v1_4_7_0.msi
electron73's Odin pack: http://electron73.org/XDA/i815/electron_i815_odin_pack.zip
Root: http://www.mediafire.com/?x481a90591wdw0a
Make a folder on your desktop and extract the files there.
1. Install Verizon 7.7 LTE drivers
2. Put the root zip file on an external SD card, make sure your the SD card is inserted in the tab
3. Power down your tab
4. Boot into Odin mode by pressing power and volume up. Release power while still holding volume up when you see the samsung splash screen. You will be greeted with a warning dialog:

5. Press volume up to accept, you will be in download mode and greeted with the following screen:
6. Open Odin 1.85
7. Load FD01_recovery.tar by clicking the PDA button and selecting the file from the folder you made on your desktop, make sure auto reboot is unchecked. It is very important that you choose PDA
8. Plug in your tab, your PC will probably install drivers if you have never used Odin and how up under ID:COM. Your tab will show up in Odin. your screen should look like this:
9. If odin looks exactly like the screen above, click start. Odin should display a green Pass! above ID:COM
10. Power down your tab.
11. Boot into recovery, you will see an android with an exclamation point triangle
12. Choose apply update from external storage using the volume keys to navigate.
13. Select Root_SuperSU.0.96.Only-signed.zip
14. Tab will install and reboot.
15. You now have root.
If you want to be completely stock, including ICS recovery, then follow steps 3 - 9 except use the LP01_recovery.tar instead of FD01_recovery.tar, then reboot your tab. thats it !
P.S electron i linked to your files, i hopw thats ok

You may have to flash the honeycomb recovery with Odin just to root, because I think the new ICS recovery will not install unsigned update. After you flash root, you can flash back to stock ICS recovery. This is just a guess I have not tried this.

If that is what is required I may be in a bad way.
Stupid VZW has not provided this variant with any stock firmware download - no HC and no ICS.
In my short-sightedness I didn't think to make a nandroid or CWM because up to now, I can't use any non-stock roms - I need the LTE as a part of the tablet.
Drat and double drat.

It should be easy to root your stock ics tab:
1. Download the root zip, place on external SD card in your tab
2. Put your tab in download mode, connect tab to pc and flash stock Honeycomb e3 recovery via PDA button in odin. Be sure to untick "auto-reboot" option.
3. Once odin finishes with a "Pass!" Power down your tab by holding power.
4. Boot into recovery by holding power+volume up, let go of the power button when the samsung logo appears while still holding volume up.
5. flash the root zip from external sd card in recovery.
6. You should be rooted now.

For Step 2 - the stock HC e3 recovery part - is this a file that I download from somewhere or is this something that I would (should) have at hand?
Sorry to be noobish, but I want to be sure I don't do something irreversible here...
Thanks for the help!
eh

Followed the steps and it worked. Rooted the LP11 ROM by flashing the FD01 recovery and then flashing the Select Root_SuperSU.0.96.Only-signed.zip from recovery.

Stickied this as it took me quite a long time to find. This is VERY useful for people with the Verizon model and stock ICS.

Can't find FD01
Does anyone have a link to the FD01 recovery image? I cannot find it anywhere. The links to the stock roms are broken. I've been trying to root my LP11 7.7 i815 for years now to no avail.
I appreciate any help.

Extract Firmware zip file that you downloaded already from above link, you will get a .tar file and some other files.
Extract Odin zip file and you will get Odin3 v3.07.exe along with few other files.
Power off your phone. Wait 5-6 seconds for vibration to confirm complete switch off.
Now, put the Galaxy Pocket Duos GT-S5302 phone in Download Mode by pressing pressing and holding down the Volume Down and Home buttons while pressing the Power button until you are welcomed by a green robot indicating you are in Download Mode.
Now run Odin3 v3.07.exe (see Step 2) as an Administrator because Admin privileges is required to complete the process smoothly.
Now connect your Galaxy Pocket Duos GT-S5302 with your PC using USB cable. A message will arrive under Odin’s message box in the bottom left saying “Added!!”. If you don’t get the same then you should try another USB port (try USB port located in back in your desktop PC). If that too don’t work then you should then reinstall the driver. If you successfully see the “Added!!” message in Odin then you are ready to go in next step. You should also see COM port with a number in Yellow if you successfully added your device.
Select these files in Odin at respective tabs from extracted S5302JPLH2 firmware folder :
Click the PDA Button, and select the .tar file here with *code* appearing in its name
Click the Phone Button, and select file with *modem* in its name (leave if there is no such file)
Click the CSC Button, and select file with *csc* in its name (leave if there is no such file)
Click the PIT Button, and select the .pit file. Use only if you got it while extracting in step 1 above, otherwise ignore it.
In Odin window, make sure Auto Reboot and F. Reset Time checkboxes are selected. Also, make sure that Re-Partition checkbox is selected, only if you are using a .pit file (see Step 7.4).
Double check everything that we mentioned in Step 7 & Step 8 above. Now, once satisfied hit the START button to begin the flashing process.
Once flashing completed, you will see a PASS message with green background in the left-most box at the very top of the Odin. The phone will then automatically rebooted and soon you will see the Samsung logo. You can then unplug the USB cable to disconnect your device from computer.
Congrats! Your Galaxy Pocket Duos, model number S5302 should now run on Android 2.3.6 Gingerbread build JPLH2. Go to Settings > About phone to verify this firmware update.:good::good:

You worked enough on my phone.

1. Download and extract my RAR files ---> HERE
2. Open your PC device manager
3. Connect an usb cable only to your pc then press and hold the phone volume + button and then connect the usb cable to the phone
3. In the device manager you will see Qhsub_bulk then release the volume+ button
4. Right click on Qhsub_bulk and choose update driver
5. Use one of the driver folders which you alredy extract to install the Qualcomm driver and you will see it like 9008
6. Your phone have to be charged very well for a few hours before you try to flash it.
7. Remove it from the charger then connect an usb cable only to your pc.
8. Try to press and hold the volume + and power buttons at the same time for a few seconds and connect the usb cable to the phone.
9. You have to see the driver in the device manager like 9006 (you can release the buttons) [it wasn't easy for me so keep trying]
10. Open the MSMDownloader and press start
11. If everything is ok you will see a green progress bar flashing. (I was stuck here with the "NON-HLOS.bin" file which you can see in the "Other NON-HLOS File" folder inside the rom which you download)
12. When the process complete in about 10 minutes you can remove the usb cable from your phone.
13. Now you have to do a veeeeeeeery long press and hold on your power button untill you feel the vibration and after that you will see the OPPO logo.
14. Leave it for 5-10 minutes to load the Color OS.
15. Ok you have a working phone but still some apps icons that are missing and the keyboard doesn't appear when you have to write something.
16. Download THIS zipped ROM and put it in the internal storage of your phone.
17. Shut down the phone then press and hold the volume - and the power button at the same time for a while intil you enter into recovery mode.
18. Choose english and then install rom from zip file. After the installation complete reboot the phone and you will get a working keyboard and few more apps like Browser, Chinese market and else....
For me i still need to insert the IMEI's because they are lost... and now i have message: Oppo nv backup. The NV partition is invalid...
Good luck to all! And if you want to give me a beer: paypal: [email protected]

I dropped my phone in water and now it's not booting up???

Hi guys,
So three days ago, I dropped my phone in water. I kept it off and didn't touch it for 3 days. Today, I realized there is no more moisture by the cameras and tried to turn it on. When I do, it gets to the screen that says "dm-verity verification failed...need to verify DRK first...". I did try and hit reboot system now, nothing, lopped back to this. I have really important pictures on here.I have a few questions:
1. Can i get the pictures off of here before I wipe?
2. What can i even do to fix this?
I was not rooting the phone or anything like that. I'm pretty much a noob and literally have no idea what to do. I really appreciate any help. it's the green international s6 edge
THANKS GUSY!

Hey mate. I rooted my N915F +/- 2 weeks ago. I was also lost. Googled allot, but I am rooted and running smooth. I wished I made bookmarks so I could share it with you.
But from what I can remember. First go to this site: https://autoroot.chainfire.eu/
Then download the software for N915G.
Install Odin to PC.
Put phone in download mode (Turn phone off, hold volume down+home button and push the power key. The phone will show a warning. Push volume up to continue.)
Connect phone to PC.
Open the installed application on you PC (Odin)
Remember the comm in cf-autoroot must be green. You will see a message on the left saying "Added"
Put the file in in PA button. Browse for the file(it was downloaded with the .zip file where cf-autoroot was in. It will be a ".tar.md5" file)
Let the phone reboot.
Go to this site: http://forum.xda-developers.com/not...15s-n9150-cwm-based-recovery-6-0-5-1-t2954960
Download your phones CWM file from the site.
Put phone in download mode again.
Open Odin.
Connect phone.
Put the CWM file in PA button in Odin.
Click start.
Let it reboot.
Go to Playstore and update SuperSU app.
Remember, if you boot into CWM recovery (Phone off , volume up+home button+power) and you select "exit and reboot" , ClockWorksMod will sometimes say that your phone is not rooted of does not have SuperUser installed. It will ask to install it. Say NO.
If you say yes, my phone went into a bootloop.
Watch this video : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DIj-FL1K7To
Also, READ what on the websites. I dont take responsibility for a broken phone.
My steps is just for you to be sure you are on the right track of what you read on the websites. I may have missed some steps. But as far as I remember , this is what worked for me.
Also , you bootloader must be unlocked to root your phone. I dont know how to check that. I just took a chance and my phone works.
And remember, warranty is void.
Hope this helps a bit

It's very simple
