I can't seem to find a Clockwork Recovery install anywhere and was wondering what the progress was in the port? I seen that someone posted they were working on it on the root thread and need to know if any updates on it? I know there are a ton of people that won't go without a slider and seeing as this phone is the only 4g slider right now I figured there would be all kinds of rom support for it. Its unlocked bootloader was the reason i got it along with my fiancee's need for a keyboard. First time i seen any android device without cwr.

samsung stratosphere trouble!!
Hi everyone. I was looking for some help to fix the samsung stratosphere that i tried rooting the other day. I will explain to the best of my knowledge as to what i did and how i got where i am with trying to root my phone and where i believe things went bad. i downloaded heimdall and all the necessary files that i got off of the rootzwiki forum specifically for rooting this phone. I was following the instructions exactly as they are posted. Well i than tried to use a different method within heimdall called heimdall - front end. i tried flashing the kernel from the rootzwiki forum using this method. i loaded the stratosphere.pit and went to the flash menu and checked repartition and reboot phone and clicked flash. Thats where the trouble began,now it seems that my phone is stuck in a bootloop,where it will either go to the screen where it asks if you wanna flash a custom rom or it will go into recovery mode if i try to reboot the phone. When my phone is plugged in, it dont show thats its charging but the power button will work sometimes or i just have to hold the power and volume down button and it will go to the custom rom screen. If anyone could help me figure this out,it would be greatly appreciated and thanks in advance for any help or advice on my situation.

Hi I'm trying it I get a window says missing driver
Samsung android usb device, acm, CDC acm data
what's that mean?

you are missing the drivers you need to install to get debugging mode to work. What i did was manually install the drivers.
But instead try installing these drivers from the link below. before you install this make sure you unplug your phone first, then install the drivers, then plug your phone back in.
If that works just run SuperOneClick like the guide i posted above

[Q] Rooting with 2.3.6

Might be a noobish question but i cant seem to find anything, is there a root method for the latest firmware?

You can use the latest SuperOneClick or you can flash a ROM/kernel that comes rooted. The latter of which can be found in the dev section. If you go that route, I highly recommend using one of bhundven's one-clicks to install 2.3.6 with CWM/root/voodoo lagfix. From there you can install a different custom ROM/kernel if you wish.

Or you can click on the first link in my signature and follow the guide.

which superoneclick? the thread said something about modifying it, do you just download it and run or do i have to change something from the x10 options

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=21954884
Look for rooting in this guide.

I also am trying to figure out how to root it. Most guides point to superoneclick, so I downloaded it, although on the shortfuse site there are plenty of complaints saying it is freezing at step 7. I read the guide and it says that since I'm already GB, I can install a rom/kernal combo that will root it in the process. I am wanting to run Valhall black and it doesn't say that a root is necessary in the directions, it just says place the .zip in the root of the SD folder.
Then I read in other places that superoneclick isn't necessary with stock GB, and point to Odin, and then some say Odin isn't necessary and point to "an easier way for stock GB" but then don't say what the easier way is.
The wiki says that one of the ways to root is to install a CWM voodoo lagfix kernel (which is included in Valhalla Black, I think) without needing to root.
Mindboggling

Follow the guide in the first link in my signature. It is very specific! If you have any questions let us know.
Root is necessary. You need to root, then follow the directions regarding SGS Kernel Flasher, then flash Valhalla Black. If you follow the guide you will be good. I tell you the version of SuperOneClick to use. It works. Don't worry about what ever else you read.

Thanks, so far so good. Kernel in progress.

This is for Lumin30
I clicked on your link and followed everything to the T but when it gets to step #7 on the oneclick, it sits an sits (which we wait and wait) but then the oneclick after about 15 minutes of waiting says not responding. Any help on that?

The link I posted? If so, close SuperOneClick and try it again. Make sure you have USB Debugging enabled. Let me know if you have any more problems.
Also, when you plug your phone is does your computer recognize the phone?

That would be the problem. When I plug my phone into the computer it doesnt read it when in debug mode, but if it isnt in debug mode I can as storage.

Open SuperOneClick - assuming you downloaded the version I recommended in the guide.
First thing to try is using a USB port you have not plugged your phone into yet that is directly attached to your computer - meaning no hubs or addon usb boards.
Try that. Let the computer install the drivers. It should say they installed and click Root.
Also - verify what you currently have on your phone before proceeding.
Lastly - you will need to refresh your browser to see my replies

That did it. Thank you so much. But now one last question. How do i find the IMEI to make sure it changed? It said rooted but everythings on my phones looks pretty much the same as it did before I rooted it. An also when it was rooting it said LOG: write failed (errno=14) alot. Does that matter?

Read this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=21953587&postcount=1
It will tell you how to find your IMEI and how to back up your EFS folder - which is VERY important. And you can go to Market, download 'Root Checker Basic' to verify you are rooted.
And hit thanks

If you do decide to use the guide above - please provide feedback if you think I left out any little steps, find anything not clear or have a suggestion to make the guide better.
OH HELL - YOU DO NOT WANT YOUR IMEI TO CHANGE. READ THE GUIDE!
I missed that part of your post!

Thanks for the help. I do have another question. If I want to change ROM's do I just flash them the same way or do I need to do something else first before I flash it? An by the way, the IMEI was still the same. I thought it was suppose to cahnge. Sorry this is my first time ever doing this.

I just flashed a rom and now my phone is stuck omn the start up sceen and has been like that for 10 minutes now and doesnt do anything. It is stuck on the samsung Galaxy s screen. OMG

Uh oh. What were you on and what did you try to flash thag got you stuck?

Bionix_Frost_SGS4G
An used the sgs thing to flash

So you were on Bionic Frost? Or tried to flash Bionic Frost? I need to know what you were first on - then what ROM you tried to flash.

Tried to flash

Hehe. Ok. So you tried to flash Bionic Frost - a Froyo based ROM. And what were ROM were you using before you tried to flash Bionic Frost?
Sherbear
You are making me laugh. We will get this fixed. But I need to know what ROM you originally used. Or that can be said - what is the first ROM you flashed? I am assuming it was a GB based ROM but I was to confirm first before we proceed.

Follw up
F.Y.I
Phone is working fine and has had full/good signal all day
As for all the previous attempts to root phone i now believe that i maybe did not have the drivers setup correctly..!
I did download ADB drivers for my phone but i also installed KIES
I noticed that although I had the Android phone /w ADB interface in device manager
I am NOT sure if I had the Samsung USB composite device (thingy) as well... this i have read about in another thread
So while in ADB mode i was unable to gain access to the SD card or internal volume ..???
and most of the failures were reported as write errors or the programs just hung
This is just an after thought but maybe the reason I had so much trouble
I can no longer check this theory as it has now gone back to my friend
so if you are doing as I did check this out and it might be alot easier than it was for me :good:
This maybe completely wrong also..??? someone might comment who has had success were I failed.?
if there are any questions about this Thread i will be happy to answer any and all PM's
(im no expert but have rooted/unlocked and jailbroken/unlocked many phones)
and thats yet another paperweight turned into phone (imei style)
this could not be done however without all of the advice out there this was such a tricky one i thought i would put this info all in 1place
but real thanks goes to the many people doing there thing (donate coz i did if i made a few quid)
i just follow instructions

[Completed] Root Galaxy Tablet SCH-I905 Tryed everything

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.

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.

I'm pretty sure this is the guide that can help. It even claims to be super easy.
http://forum.xda-developers.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.

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.

Update: Tryed using this meathod: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1837605
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]"

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. ?

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.

I can only find out dated info here on XDA. And dead links.
Did you try the Google link above?

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.

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!

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.

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....
