Hello, I am new to this forum and just got my blaze 3 weeks ago. I know the phone is kind of old but I like it. Any way when I get a new phone the first thing I do is root it and get rid of the bloatware, but after 3 weeks searching and following 2 tuts from other sources I managed to softbrick my phone. All is good there and I managed to un-brick the phone both times. My question here, is there any tuts out there that can help me root my phone? I will post the specs below and hopefully someone can direct me to the right info.
Any help is greatly appreciated and If I missed sonething I apologise as I am in the U.S Army and usually very busy. Thanks guys!
T-mobile Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4g
Current firmware: 4.0.4 (ICS I believe)-OTA updated accidently
The phone came pre-loaded with 4.0.3...I don't know why
Current baseband: T769UVMB1

First, you should never look at "other sources". XDA is the best and you should have started here
Second, wrong thread. Questions belong in the General section.
Third, if you look there is a [GUIDE][ICS]How to root stock just a few posts down.
Lastly, this phone has never been on 4.0.3 lol. There was a recent baseband update to UVMB1 but it is still 4.0.4 just as UVLH5 was 4.0.4.
Hope that helps

Hello all, I have a Galaxy S that is unlocked, i have been trying to install Android 2.2 using the latest Kies software, but all i keep getting is the following.
Current Ver: 2.1 - Update, PDA:JF3 / Phone:JF3 / CSC:JE5 This version of the device cannot be updated.
My wife has the same phone on the Orange Network, this updated straight away with no problems, and works just fine.
I was wondering if it is the fact that if the phone is unlocked, and the update is not possible. We live in the UK. Any help would be greatfully received.
Thank You
I was hoping that this would be the Forum that would have least given a reply to my thread, but it seems not so. I notice that over 200 hundred people have looked at the question.
I live in hope than an answer will be forthcoming, even if somebody tells me to go away.
What kind of Galaxy S do you have?
You can do the registry hack for kies to change your product code and update to the generic rom, however I believe this hack has been patched for the most recent version of kies. I'll see if I can find a link to the hacking guide for you.

its sorry for you... the firmware which you have, has no update till now.. so wait for some time..
Thanks for your help anyway.
Hi all,
I'm noob here and i was wondering if anyone know where to get the at&t Stock
ROM. I flashed mine and can't get any other ROM to work on it. please, if you
know any ROM that would work or worked on yours, point me ! Steps on how to
do it, is a big help.
Thank you in advanced
i saw your post over in the i777 forums indicating that you had a skyrocket.
WHICH DEVICE DO YOU HAVE?
this forum section is for the i727 SKYROCKET
if you have a i777 it DOES NOT HAVE A SKYROCKET moniker.
if you dont even know what device you have, you should probably figure that out. its not hard to figure out just by looking at some google images, or even take the battery out and look at the model number.
you seriously shouldnt even be flashing a damn thing to your phone if you have no idea what device you have.....

Or just looking at the "About phone" menu in "Settings."
I'm afraid he's right about you're not quite being up to "flash speed." But... the necessary information and knowledge is not hard to come by. Spend a few days reading before bricking your phone. It's worth taking the time.
Wow..........not sure what else.to say just wow.
At least he admitted to being a noob.

If you have the skyrocket. I727 then the stock tar can be found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1342348
Make sure you do infact have the skyrocket I727 before attempting to flash this though.
is there an att stock file please.
I looked but couldn't find one

guess you couldnt read the post above huh?
this section is the skyrocket i727, not the i777. any files you find in this section will brick an i777....you have been warned. now go read
I apologize in advance for the noob question; I have been stock on this phone for awhile so I'm lost (ex-EVO here). I successfully rooted my phone two days ago, and now this upgrade popped up. It says it offers the Android 4.0.4 upgrade. Will it affect my root? Or brick my phone?

Wrong phone, buddy. Next time you should try reading before asking a question also.
I posted this in the epic 4G forum and here. Where is my phone? I've looked everywhere when I looked for root and ultimately had to take a chance. Can you please link me to the right forum?

I don't know where your phone is, but your forum (if you indeed have a SPH-D710 model device) should be here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1284
Okay i just got a galaxy s3 because i have practically been on the fascinate my whole life, Flashed the life out of it and to this day its 100%. I want to root, and flash roms to my s3, but i have came across many threads and such and i really cant afford to ruin this phone, its like 3 days old lol. I am used to Odin, but that was the fascinate... I am on 4.1.2 and the Baseband version is I535VRBMF1 (what my phone was shipped with). Someone help me asap! i am very eager to make this phone sweet! its been out for awhile now so i suppose someone will know how to do this.

Read all the sticky threads in the development section before you do anything. You'll answer all your questions and learn more stuff unique to this phone.

Read through imei backing up, casual root method, and how to root your galaxy s3 and more for generalized flashing methods. If you have any questions after reading through those feel free to ask.

Your best way to root and unlock the bootloader is the Casual method. It roots, unlocks and even installs a recovery like CWM or TWRP. However read up a bit. It's always good to get somewhat knowledgeable before barreling into something.
Make sure to read and understand the "Comprehensive IMEI/EFS Backup" section (on the link that BadUsername provided). I've never had an issue with this but I read sob storied all the time about people who didn't back up and had issues.
I have a Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 10 .1 inch AT&T 4G SGH 1497 I am unable to use several features because of the 4.1 .2 apk update but more importantly I was curious if anyone was successful in installing a 4.2 .2 to this version of the tab 2 and if anyone was able to get everything working solid? I am very interested in getting this rooted but I don't want to screw up the 4G capabilities and take it off the AT&T network if anyone has any tips links or maybe I missed it in the forums on how or if its possible I would be greatly appreciative. also if you know anything about the WiFi Bluetooth problem I have another post that is directly related to this? thanks for Reading
I had no issues rooting and installing twrp/cwm, but I hard bricked one trying to install AOKP. CyanogenMod gave me the dreaded error 7. From what I understand, this hardware is nothing like the other TAB 2's. It's not looking too good lately. Imight get impatient before long and do my own de-odex and mod the systemui as well as other things. MY tab 2 is just not my main device so I haven't put allot of effort into it as yet. Someone is going to need to soon or we'll all just upgrade to something else that is better supported by dev's. I wish us luck on this device. I have googled to high hell and haven't dug up anything. Couldnt even find an odin file for 4.1.2, so I captured that one while i could and put it up for d/l. Maybe that will help someone dev on 4.1.2 at least.
Hello,
I'm glad I found this post. Can either of you provide a link to the file needed to root the AT&T 4G SGH 1497, I can't seem to find it anywhere. Thanks for any help.

I too am in this dilemma. I just purchased a Tab 2 and want to root to remove the AT&T bloatware. SGH-I497. I found this post:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2101044
But since I don't know when 4.1.2 was rolled out for the Tab 2, I don't know if this root method is valid. Help please.

One small mistake on my part... I have the wifi version. Changed my profile pic to Underdog (I'm such an idiot).
