[Q] Rooting Questions for a Galaxy Note Tablet - Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I am brand new to Android. I just bought a Galaxy Note Tablet 10.1 but it's the GT-N8010 model. I would prefer to have the US version GT-N8013 because it seems that there are a few apps / functions are not available in N8010 model.
I've seen several threads about flashing for phones but not for the Note Tablet 10.1. And I can't find anything about how to actually get started from the very beginning. I've always had Apple products so even the terms flashing and rooting are new to me. I need bare bones basic instructions on how to root my note tablet. I bought the ODIN app and it won't let me use it until I rooted and that I needed to be a superuser? I'm so confused... /:
Can someone please help me? What apps do I need and what's the actual process? I appreciate any help anyone could give me.
Thanks!

I used this thread that's sticked in the note Q&A to root my tablet. I actually did it yesterday after getting the german jb 4.1.2. I wanted to use the multiwindow app, so I had to root. I am new to this as well, but that thread got me through the process flawlessly. =) I used the pc version of Odin to do mine though.

[Q] Unsure how to root Galaxy Tab 2 P3110

Hey Guys,
I've just purchased a Galaxy tab 2 P3110 (7.0) and i would like to root the device, and put Cyanogenmod 10 or 10.1 on it, as this is christmas present for a close relative and want the added features Cyanogen offers. I already have this installed on a Samsung S3.
I've seen quite a few different guides on the forums and other websites, all with differing ways to root the device and install custom ROM, can someone please provide a recommended guide to follow.
Check the 7 tab development thread.
Basically you need to download a program named Odin and use it to flash the proper cwm recovery to your tab. Then you boot that recovery to install the rom. You don't need to root, rooting is only if the rom you use is not rooted, like stock rom etc. You also don't need to unlock the bootloader or anything like that.

Dear Nutsonfire,
Thanks for your response i'm still conflicted about which instructions to use, some are saying make sure you download samsung kies, and the drivers etc..... before running ODIN, and some don't even mention it.
Heres what i've looked at so far... can you clarify as i definetly dont want to brick this

Kies is just so that you have the correct usb drivers so that your device is recognized by windows. You can also just install the drivers stand alone or Kies.
get odin and the file from the chainfire topic on the dev section
flash it and voila
quite simple, purchased mine last week and already flashed a lot of things
Amongst a slur of guides to rooting your Galaxy Tab 2 7" 3110, this video helped my a lot.

Hey Guys,
Thanks for all your great help so far.
Not sure if this is applicable but figured i would check before i do it. I've noticed on my device its listed as a P3110, but on a few of the instructions and the CF-AUTO root its listed as model number GT-P3110, from what i have its a plain tab 2, without phone.

yeah we just drop the GT- from the front of the model name as a sorta shorthand the 3 Models for the 7" (not counting the verizon that uses a different model number string) are the GT-P3100, GT-P3110 and GT-P3113 and the 10.1" versions replace the 3 at the beginning with a 5 so they are GT-P5100, GT-P5110 and GT-P5113 they are the same thing whether they have the GT in front or not, its just quicker to not type it out everytime.
BRILLIANT

Help Galaxy Note 2 - Install ROM

Hey all, Im new here and have my first Android Phone
I have the Samsung Galaxy Note II SGH-I317M from Bell but had it unlocked and am using Koodo now!
I rooted the phone last nite using Odin 307.zip & CF-Auto-Root-xxxxx-etc.zip
All went well
Question are there any better mods I can use on this phone, can any one suggest some good ones along with instructions on changing the ROM and restoring my setting, and apps afterwords?
A friend of mine is using a ROM that makes the phone act like a tablet, I would like the same for my phone if available, I think it is called Paranoid android
I found a ROM I want to use Called Jedi-X 6.1.2, but cannot figure out how to apply this to my phone, can anyone please give me detailed instructions,
Thanks

As of right now i dont think paranoid has a release for the bell galaxy note 2 but im sure they will in time but if i were you i would try out AOKP first...i've found their roms rather amusing but as a pro racecar drive im biased towards performance...im not really a pro racer :good:

[Jailbreak]Root Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 (Verizon- i925) - Root/Jailbreak/Recovery

It's 2016, and I need to know the truth about rooting the I925. I reset it to factory settings and here is what I have:
Model SCH-I925
Android Version = 4.1.2
Kernel Version 3.0.31-1481643
Build # JZ05454K.I925VRAMK1
Hardware Version I925.03
Is is possible to put Cyanogen on this?
I have tried several ways and the only successful way I have rooted it was King Root. But I was never able to get a recovery on there. I used Heimdall, according to the Cyanogen Website, with no success. I really thought CASUAL was the answer, but now I see that it doesn't work with the updated version. I need the pro on here to help me! I really want cyanogen on it! I am a newbie and using Windows on this..
Try the forum for your model .
I too fall into the same category and have not found a definite answer, has the MK1 stumped all who come against it? Or is root and unlocked b/l a trade secret? I have rooted many devices in my past from G1 to EVOs to newer devices and nothing has been more or less unknown around here like this device is....what gives??
What locked bootloader
Sent from my SM-N920C using XDA-Developers mobile app
It's hard to find a good how-to with this one it seems. There are many tutorials but usually for the other variants and not the Verizon one. The ones that seem to be for the right device use apps to install a recovery but the apps don't seem to support this model either.
I guess there is no luck for this tablet at all... I got it for cheap at this point (4 years after its release)! And there doesnt seem to be a way to even downgrade

So this means there is no fix for Galaxy note 10.1 SCH-I925. Would you happen to know if Casual is available for this model somewhere in this forum. Thanks for your response. mariomr
No sorry no idea .
the only thing that is achieved is to root, unfortunately there is no way to unlock the bootloader to install TWRP
I also found the 4 stock files to recover by odin, but I did not verify it
sorry for my english

Root Samsung galaxy s6 MMB29K.G920IDVU3EPH9 android 6.0.1

First of all, let me apologize for posting this in android general first since i am new here. I later realized that posting it in samsung galaxy s6 forum will be a much wiser choice.
Hi Everyone,
I accidentally deleted pictures from my samsung galaxy s6 phone and am looking into rooting the phone to recover them (havent used the phone since then). But most of the applications out there require rooting. I have looked into pingpong root and Chainfire but they dont list the exact build version of my phone.
EXACT build version of my galaxy s6:
MMB29K.G920IDVU3EPH9
WHAT'S available online:
the closest i found is from chainfire (CF-auto root) is MMB29K.G920IDVU3EPC6.
Please advise if i can use the root file meant for the build available with chainfire or if anyone has rooted their galaxy s6 for my exact build then please advise on that.

I am not quite sure, since I am also relatively new to the phone, but CF autoroot should work fine. The problem I see however is that AFAIK the phone will be wiped after rooting, so I dont know, if rooting will be of any help to you. You should try to find out, if there is any way to get a system dump. More precisely your sdcard. This way you can have as many recovery attempts as you want, without risking to overwrite anything. Hope it helps. Also rooting itself and installing SU will overwrite some of your storage. So be careful.

is this because the build is different?

Like I said, I don't know, since I don't kmow much about the phone yet, but I thought I had read about CF autoroot wiping the phone after rooting, but please check on your own. Google system dump galaxy s6. Maybe system dump android 6.0.1. I haven't done it in a while, but it should work using adb pull. Maybe there is a new command already. But please read up on it first.

Best ROM/Root Method for Galaxy S6?

Hello! I currently own a Galaxy S6 (SM-G920I) that runs Android 7.0, I've had this phone for almost 3 years or so, and I think it's finally time to root it, I have rooted my S4 before but I wanted to up things up a notch and install a custom ROM for my phone, so I was wondering which ROM is the best one to flash and which rooting method do I use, if there is like a safe one or so?
Sorry for the very "noob" question, thank you so much in advance! <3
Hi, flash TWRP through Odon. Choose a samstock rom and flash it over TWRP. Root it via odin.
Ps: best post any new questions to q&a forum.
*Mod edit : thread moved to Q&A section.

Thanks.
