Call me crazy, but I kinda like Touchwiz on my week old Tab 2. Any way I am still a noob to Android, even though I almost killed my Hipstrret Flare.
I have been reading the forums, and have seen the UK got the JB update, and I don't think I am ready to attempt a root and flash with Odin yet.
So I was wondering if I can just change my location in Tablet to say I am from the UK to get the update, or will that still report no update available based off my IP ??? ( or something in a chip inside )
Is there an easy way to fool my Tablet? Or will I just have to wait for the North American update?
Jusy root and use Odin. It is so easy to do. Just read tuts and before you know it you'll be on JB

My question folows as well just a bit of rambling background!!
who has rooted new devices and who has bricked them because of it being a new sbk. has anone unrooted with the method i mention or another, and anything anyone wantz to throw in about rooting new devices..
I was one of those who were anxiously waiting a way to root newer devices...i mean looking every single day for a couple months.. and along comes razorclaw (The DEVS are freakin awesome) thats what i can say for sure.
Anyway i rooted right away and i will stay this way from my experience i will get more support from my devs than a manufacturer anyday, and when asus stops supporting our devices aftet the google 18 months the devs will be our only chance for continued enhancements and future support.
ive flashed a couple roms PRIME and KRAKD and man i cant wait for an ics rom wonder who will get it out first cm9 i my best bet. i ve got files from
Unlockr - how to unroot asus transformer
to unroot and im sure it will work now of course you would have to watch what you update to cuz the new update breaks razorclaw and the ability to root. BUT i hear lots of people afraid to root newer devices ive had no problems and i understand nvflash isnt there and that sucks if something goes wrong..... however, i havent seen alot of posts pertaining to people bricking their devices (a few yes) after razorclaw.` My main question is how many people are having a good experience rooting new devices and who has bricked, also has anyone succefully unrooted with the method at unlockr. or any other method. im just really interested in looking at the chances of bricking new sbk devices. should be good as long as your careful and check everything is god before you flash it and know its meant for your device. check md5sum always and i should be good right .
i just buy my asus transformer a week ago
i rooted and all went fine
Tried the 7.1 and razorclaw, neither worked!

Hi guys. Sorry if this has been covered already, I'm sure that others may have had this problem too.
The issue I am facing is with my Samsung Galaxy S3. I am running on 4.0.4 which I rooted with Heimdall Frontend 1.3 on my Mac.
I am a novice with the whole rooting thing so I am a bit confused. I am at the moment living in Australia, my mobile is an unbranded phone which I bought on contract in the UK on Vodafone and am now using it here on Optus mobile.
I had a firmware update sent through tonight which I downloaded over the air, the download completed and so I proceeded to update. The update failed after only a few seconds directing me to the rooted firmware bios.
So where do I go from here? I would like Jelly Bean on my mobile but I seem to not be able to get it because of the root I guess. I'm thinking I may have to use SU to unroot the mobile and install the update but is there a better way and is Jelly Bean rootable yet?
Sorry if I'm a pain in the ass
After 4 months of stalking this forum, I finally bought a note 10.1 to use as my phone... weird I know. Hopefully it arrives today. Anyway, I have a question on flashing the stock 4.1.2 n8000 germany rom on to my n8000. Can I just flash it if I am from another region? Is there anything I need to do before I flash? I keep on seeing threads about changing CSCs and some of them seem to be due to flashing on a different model instead. I would also like to ask if the 4.1.2 is still Exynos vulnerable (Easily rootable).
You need to use ODIN to flash, make sure you have a nandroid copy of your stock rom....
exynosexploit.apk will still give you root access. There is a camera patch on the s3 forum for after using the exynos patch to secure the exploit made by chainfire (buy this man a beer) but I haven't tested this on the note 10.1 as yet.
Best idea would be to root, do nandroid backup then flash JB4.1.2...
Cheers...
Oh, and get yourself the BT stylus if its going to be a phone replacement... Makes life easier and you don't have to be wearing a BT headset all the time...
Soon I will be receiving my Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 GT-N8013 (White) hopefully Thursday 1/24/13
I'm familiar with the Samsung Galaxy line as I've own the S II and currently own the S III
Reading through these forums before I decided to purchase the Note 10.1, over the Nexus 10, I was excited to see so much development for this tablet. I'm guessing when I receive this tablet it will have ICS 4.0 installed, here is my question
What is the first thing I should to do the tablet when I receive it should I do an OTA to get it to JellyBean or would it be better for me to just root it and the flash a provided ROM in the forum to upgrade it to 4.1.2 via TWRP?
IMy guess is that I should not do any OTA and just root, install recovery and then flash a 4.1.2 ROM, for now I'll be sticking a stock ROM since I kinda like TouchWiz
Thank you in advance for all suggestions!

yes skip the ota part and root your phone once you get it.. then flash 4.1.2.. you can choose from the 3 custom recovery that we have here., twrp.,
zedomax cwm., and darkman_RS cwm..
I would say use your tablet stock for a few dayz just so u know could experience pure stock.. Its nice to see wat a device can do untouched. Than I would say update in a few dayz because if you like me I just love knowing I can do things to my device because once u fix up tge tablet u gonna become bored and wanna try more roms.. thats why I say play with stock for awhile. Once you go custom its boring using pure stock..

Thank you both for your suggestions
I can do the pure stock thing for a few days, with root of course!
Actually my main thinking was to run it with stock 4.1.2
Yep. I flashed a lot of different custom roms on my old tablet (asus transformer), but I've never really found the need to do it for this one. I'd advise you to root with the exynos exploit apk (because it's easy, but it might not be as safe), then use mobile odin to flash to 4.1.2 while keeping root. Then, with root, you can add multiwindow to all your apps with another apk available in the Themes and Apps section here!
If your stay stock on 4.1.1 why not just ota as its easier then root with exploit app? This is what I did, love touchwiz all I've done is made more apps available in multiwindow and rooted

I got my tablet today, WOW!!! Two days earlier than I expected
The following is what I did
1. Installed CMW via Odin
2. Installed SuperSU via CMW
3. Installed Goo IM and installed TWRP
4. Installed Stock 4.1.2 via TWRP after doing a backup of course!!!
Man so far Peel is awesome
How can I move the soft keys from the left side to the right?
hello, im very sorry if this is covered a million times over by now. ive been using google as well as looking into all the fourms in xda. very confusing and kinda frustrated. i have searched for about 3 days. i am very much a noob and dont get the lingo. also post seems to spin off into installing custom roms. im just looking for pure root. bootloader and things of that nature i dont care much about. my problem is i have app data in my Motorola xt912 droid that i just rooted the other day. i cant use helium to get it out. so rooted with a program i found on here. bought titanium back up pro. i also bought helium pro since i was able to move data from this s3 to my girl friends s4. i do want to help support the devs that make these things possible for the average user that likes to keep things simple.
so i have this 4.3 update. so i see forums saying i can root while others say it will brick my phone. just looking for a straight answer. thank you for taking your time to read this and have a happy new years

Sorry to hear about your searching troubles. I think everyone here will admit that specific info about Tw 4.3 is hard to find in one place but we've got folks helping out in the 4.3 discussion thread. Ask anything and someone may have an informed answer.
You can use Saferoot to root TW VRUCML1 ota. Yes, my link is to a Galaxy S4 tool however we have multiple users in the discussion thread that have confirmed Saferoot works for our latest 4.3 OTA. Feel free to search in that thread and you will find confirmation. Root has been possible much of the last week, maybe two.
I know you said this but I'll just reiterate, we have root only nothing else for TW 4.3. Do not flash anything in Odin unless it's the 4.3 VRUCML1 tar to restore back to stock.
thank you!!!!!
ok this seemed to have worked. my phone wants to reboot but titanium back up pro says i have root. maybe in your nice guide which i havent found anyone who said this yet, that the program ask to disable knox. i clicked no. (another reason im scared to reboot my phone) i cliaked no because of all the post saying to disable knox will brick your phone

You should probably run that tool again and choose yes. Haven't heard of anyone choosing no, the people I've seen who had root chose yes. It's not explicitly stated but it does not hurt the phone in any capacity by selecting yes. To be honest though, idk what the difference is between selecting yes and no.
I'm not on the TW 4.3 OTA so maybe someone can provide input on the disabling Knox.

I just used saferoot on mine today. I honestly didn't see anything about disabling Knox when I did it, but when I installed titanium backup Knox Notification Manager was already disabled so I'm assuming it happened somewhere in the process. Phone is working great so far. I haven't tried defrosting it because, well.... Why, it's working fine the way it is.
