[Q] pleeeeeeeez help - Samsung Mesmerize

my phone is samsung galaxy s I500 verizon with android 2.2, recently i have found updat from samsung to 2.3.4 and no need to program's like Odin .....
http://www.samsung.com/us/support/SupportOwnersFAQPopup.do?faq_id=FAQ00041645&fm_seq=41813
and while i was searching i found another update from this website
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1242747
do i need to unlock my phone again after the update cos i'm not leaving in America
which rom is better

The update through the Samsung page will install a stock update, which means the phone will be un-rooted if it already is, and will be more difficult to root since it is Gingerbread.
The second link goes to a forum post outlining a non-stock ROM, so I assume it is already rooted and such.
As far as which is better... It is all up to what you want and your use case, pick one and hope you make the right choice.

[Q] Newbie help Rooting Galaxy S I9000

Hi all
Firstly I apologise if this is in the wrong forum as im new to the site, I have searched the forums and followed all instructions supplied on how to root the Galaxy S 2.2 using the oneclick method. All goes well but after I apply the fix in recovery mode I keep getting an error E:signature verification failed Installation aborted.
Im just wondering if im doing anything wrong, as I said I have searched through the forums but I cannot find a solution to my problem.
I have just recently got the phone and its on Vodafone UK, all was fine at start until i started to install apps and now it just keeps freezing and lagging big time. below is the details of firmware etc.
Thanks in advance.
Samsung Galaxy S I9000
Vodafone UK
Firmware 2.2
Baseband Version I9000BUJP5
Kernal Version 2.6.32.9 root SE-S611 #1
Build Number FROYO.BUJP7
I only rooted mine the other day. everyone was telling me to do it through my pc but i just couldnt do it. so i entered z4root into google on my phone and went to the android version and found a download there and put it straight onto my phone. took 2 mins. hope this helps.
danny
I have downloaded that z4root but was told the oneclick was easier, does this z4root have all the files necessary to root the phone or do i need to download anything extra to root the phone.

Have you had any luck with this yet.? Ive been trying to find out more but every single time soneone asks they never get a answer coz its always the next question that does lol. Its all JVO this or JVP that or JVQ whatever however it aint helping us when we have numbers on the end.just if someone could explain the difference..im guessing its versions of the firmware kind of..Im sure JVO was Froyo but does our GB JV end with Q or P? so why not say JVQ5 or JVP5 instead be easier for us noobs to understand quicker without bothering others or be told off for it already been asked even though i cant find anything coherent lol

U.S. Cellular - Galaxy S III rooting?

Today my U.S. cellular Galaxy S III should finally make it here. I apolgize if this is a "noob" question, and have been reading through the forums.
It appears i should get a SCH-R530 model from reading today in the mail. With it being so close to Verizon model, will any of the Verizon ways to root the S3 work with the US Cellular version? If not is there any way currently to root a U.S. Cellular S3?
Thanks for any help

If I'm not mistaken the root method for the VZW SIII should work on that phone. HOWEVER, the same image that is in the dev forum SHOULD NOT be used. It is the stock Verizon with su and Superuser.apk added.
If samsung-updates.com drops a stock image of your phone a system.img can be built so that is flashable via Odin. Regardless, before you go flashing anything you should make sure you have that stock image around so you can get back to square one if anything odd should come up.
EDIT:
If you're interested in building the rooted system image here is the thread where they actually were able to build a clean root from the stock Verizon dump: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1762204 It's not a pretty process. The actual instructions used came from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1739426 I didn't see a drop for the US Cell image yet, but I could be missing it. I can be of some help later this evening if nothing has come up.
Root / Recovery / Custom ROM USCC Galaxy S III
I was able to root my USCC SGS3 using Team Epics directions at epiccm.org/2012/06/cwm-recovery-on-all-sgs3-lte-variants.htm
Make sure to apply root.zip. At some point the OTA updated OS so now overwrites custom recovery.
I have Samsungs default ROM on a rooted S3 with CWM recovery. Now onto CM10 (M snapshot). Heard it was very stable.
get.cm/?type=snapshot
Just used the Samsung easy update tool to get LK5 on my USCC GSIII (OTA update failed) but want to get root again without tripping the flash counter. Thoughts?

help needed, big time

Hi there,
I'm new to this, but my question is how to I return my phone to stock, I had someone root and add a rom to it and now I have lost my lte radio..but this person tells me all is fine and that I'm completely stock and just rooted, this may be true but the phone hardly works now..
info:
telus phone Note 2
sgh-i317m
but when I check my phone know it says its a samsung sgh-i317 now instead of sgh-i317m, this have made me believe that the phone maybe was rooted with n7100 firmware.
all I want is the phone to be completely stock as if I have just pulled it out of the box
I dont want it rooted or any sort of rom, I need all stock files because I have no backup of any sort also from what I can tell I may need samsung drivers and Odin I have no idea which I need or where to acquire the correct files...
please help

[Q] Samsung SHV-E120L rooting problem

I have an uncommon problem with rooting my new Samsung Galaxy S II HD LTE. I live in Poland and bought the phone from Hongkong (btw I have some doubts about originality of this device). I've been trying everything to break the root access, but I failed every time. At the moment I loaded Android 4.0.4. with Odin (Phone wouldn't update automatically so I found the update on the Internet).
MY DEVICE Baseband: SHV-E120L.FG11.1351.LT
Firstly, I've been trying just to use SuperOneClick, which crushes just after clicking "ROOT". It can't even recognise my device connected via USB. Then I tried flashing custom ROMs/Mods with Odin, but I couldn't find software matching to my baseband (I don't know if it matters). I also failed to load any recovery (I still can't find how to flash .img files, while i don't have sdcard). Besides I have been doing lots of internet research and nothing matches my problem. After a week of spending about 2h daily trying to root the phone I went to service point, where they told me there is hardly anyone in Warsaw, who would be able to root my device, because it was bought from abroad and they don't have proper equipment to do that... (?)
As you see I'm in lost position, at least one of you had similar problem and know how to fix it. I'm very desperate to root my phone because I've got tons of korean U+ bloatware and I have this "no caller ID" problem with messages... Also this model has shorter battery life than I was expecting, so I hope to be able to load kernel, managing processor voltage.
Waiting for replies asap!
I'm new to XDA so please forgive me any slips. I didn't find a section for this exact device and I hope here is the right place to put this thread.

Rooting Samsung Galaxy Core Prime (G360T)

Hey everyone,
So this is pretty straight foreward, I'm attempting to root my Galaxy Core Prime (G360T, from T-Mobile in US) and I have had absolutely zero luck finding ANYTHING related that model number.
I've found plenty of stuff here, but it is all related to the G360H, G, and even the T1 (i think?) I've tried Kingo, Odin, and a few other things and I'm getting absolutely no where.
I'm wondering if anyone out here has had any luck with rooting this device in particular, or if maybe there is something I'm missing? I'm pretty new to the idea of rooting devices but I'm a proficient technically so I'm not exactly sure what is going on.
Is it T-Mobile software or something blocking the ability to root? I can't believe there is that much of a difference between my phone and say the G360H.
Thanks in advanced for the help, as I'm totally clueless at this point.

There are many of us using the MetroPCS version G360T1 that will gladly try any root method you get going. Feel free to contact directly if you need some testing help. While waiting for root, I tried Package Disabler Pro 3.7 that was released September 15. It works fine on the G360T1, although it says "Custom" under "Device status" in "About Device -> Status." Haven't gone to Download Mode to see if the triangle is set or not, but I'm guessing the flash counter has been tripped. I'm not worried about it too much, and it may have been tripped with some other attempt to root the device. Still, this app was just what I needed to disable all the junkware and still have a smooth working Lollipop 5.1.1 while waiting for the real goodies.

The thing is i got g3601 and its running kitkat and no update availble on it ??? so i am porting 5.1 for it.Recovery has been patched up and working kinda fine but need to fix alot of issues.normally i dont develop for mid range mobiles but my brother got one so that is why i started with this one.my first projects are z3 + and xperia lines.I will let you know when it is completed for testing.
Hmm, I thought this was for SM-G360T and the Samsung Galaxy Core Prime that is out for T-Mobile and running Lollipop 5.x. Is the G3601 a typo or different model? The MetroPCS G360T1 will work fine with the firmware and files from T-Mobile G360T because they are the same device and even same network provider. Anyway, it looks like someone was kind enough to modify the kernel source code the Samsung posted just a week or two ago. Here is the news, but be warned that it will trip the KNOX flag:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-core/development/kernel-root-root-sm-g360t1-5-1-1-t3203522
I put my G360T1 in download mode and it still says official and no warning triangle. I mentioned that it said custom in the About Phone page after doing other terminal entries and running Package Disabler Pro 3.7. Some may want to wait to root the device until there is a deodex'd rom out there to run xposed framework. I like the slimed down stock 5.1.1 and there are a bunch of garbage programs hogging the decent entry level device resources. More news to come...

My specs:
Model #: SM-360T
Android Version: 5.1.1
Baseband Version: G360TUVU1AOF9
I migrated from Nokia 521 - Windows 8.1 phone to this Android device because of the litany of apps I could use for productivity. I am highly disappointed that I am unable to revoke permissions of applications to resources I think they don't need. So, I basically use phone to make calls and text. If someone has successfully rooted THIS smartphone version, please advise. I'm a little technical, too.
Try this: https://autoroot.chainfire.eu. find your model and download the file you need, unzip it then put your phone in download mode and use odin 3.7 to send it to the phone. That outta be enough. I have not rooted this particular device in a while but I have rooted plenty of others using that method and it works like a charm every time. I just did a quick look up and your model is listed there. Give it a try and post your results.
Thank you so much, Geevil!!!
Appreciate your response.

Hello how would one root the sm-g360t and get custom recovery on it ?
Sent from my SM-G360T using Tapatalk
I have the sm g360t1, though no computer to connect the phone to. I see this phone listed in the cf-auto root repository linked above- not sure if that method needs a computer. King root may have worked, though the root gone by when using w0lfdroid's
Kingroot removal/supersu installer. It worked on orher phones.
King root is such spyware. I really want to try something else...

Yes King Root is bad. Pretty much like malware for your device. Don't use cf-auto-root either, as it's kind of a generic root and doesn't really function properly. I'm helping people constantly fix their devices after either tryung King or CF. Use Trapkernel to root the SM-G360T1 & SM-G360T. It's quick and easy and roots the device with no problems.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=62859013 Here is the recovery you should use too in case anyone's wondering. You flash it the same way as root.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=66266209
I recommend using version 3.0.1-0 though, as version 3.0.2-0 has had problem flashing certain roms for some reason.
Thanks bogarty, I was able to root and flash custom recovery on my phone with both links you provided here.. I have the T-Mobile version (SM-G360T) but everything went well
Dont know if ppl still trying to root this device but I just found out that you can download the rooting file trough chainfire for this model. HereĀ“s the link: https://download.chainfire.eu/767/C...to-Root-cprimeltetmo-cprimeltetmo-smg360t.zip
Why do that when there is a root method for this device.
Follow this thread here for all your root needs for this device
http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...should work just fine for the tmobile version
will this allow me to use a at&t sim card in my SM-G360T phone instead of T-Mobile
