Hi all,
I am new to rooting phones. There are so many posts about different firmwares, I am very confused. I just received my Galaxy S Vibrant phone from T-mobile, and the only thing I need does not come with the phone is Wifi Tethering. My understanding is that I need to root the phone to get wifi tethering to work. Could you point me to which rooting method I should use? What version of firmware? And do I need to install other apps to make the tethering to work?
Thanks.
Please use google.
"galaxy s vibrant root" should suffice. The first link should probably be the right one...
Does anyone know how I can root this device? It is locked to Verizon, but if the custom roms work on it, and standard rooting works with it, then all is well.
I received this as a bogus ebay purchase. I bid on a N8000, but received this SCH-i925.. For the most part, I just want root, and am not overly concerned about custom roms... I just don't know what the differences with this model is from any of the N80** models are..
Thanks for the info guys!
Well, the ExynosAbuse exploit worked for root, now I need to figure out how to add the Bell APN info to it.. anyone know how to enable the option to add APN info to the SCH-i925? Or if I can use the N8000 recoveries and ROMs out there?

The Verizon tablet is LTE, the 8000 is 3G so you'll probably brick your tablet if you use anything but a ROM for an LTE tablet. I'm surprised that the Exynos Abuse exploit worked since Samsung supposedly included it's patch in the version of Jellybean shipping in the Verizon LTE tablet.
Where did you get your verizon note verizon keeps telling me they are not out yet

Damn man I have been looking for this tablet.
I'll very happily buy this off you and give you my N8000....I've been trying to get my hands on the LTE version...
You should have said something over a week ago. I am in the process of fighting with the eBay seller I got it from. He is trying to rip me off for the tablet.

How much did you pay for it? can you give me the link on ebay where you bought it from? I have been looking all over waiting anxiously to get my hands on that verizon note 10.1. You already sent it back to him or is it still with you?
Are you kidding me? I'm possibly down what I paid for the tablet, and you want a link to it? Send me $700, and I'll point you in his direction.

The note 10.1 LTE cannot be used with another carrier in the US. Verizon won't unlock it. They say it is already unlocked so that you won't bother them anymore.

This is classic Verizon Crap, hereinafter referred to as "Satan". I don't know what deal Samsung's GT-N8020 made with the devil in the US but it is clearly only being served as a SCH-I925. I will be watching , listening and offering what ever I can to help restore order to my newly purchased Note 10.1.

Soft unbrick Verizon I925
Hello guys...
First of all, let me say a big thanks for all that hard working on finding a way to unlock
It seems I have soft bricked verizon's I925 tablet while trying to add those apn's and make it work outside the US. I used CAUSAL to get it root and then I used the apn editor which made the damage.
Since there is no bootloader hack yet, I wonder if there is any way I can restore it back and have it working in any way.
I have tried via odin's utility and stock roms for N8010, but I get a fail. Does anyone has the stock verizon's rom?
I will greatly appreciate any kind of help.
Thank you in advance,
imor
UPDATE: Soft unbrick Verizon I925
Guys here is a small update on my case.
Good News: The soft bricked I925 is once again working with certain limitations. I had mariosraptor (post credits to him) install a clean non verizon N8020 version on it.
Bad News: Despite the fact that sim card gets recognized, it does not gets activated. Another possible problem "haven't yet figured out" is GPS.
Things to clear out...
I really don't know if I had the bootloader changed while trying to recover it at the beginning. In Odin's download mode, the model refers as GT-N8010 and not as SCH-I925. Members can validate thought...
Request for stock wallpaper of Note 10.1 LTE
Hello guys. I apologize if I make a mistake in posting this request here, but would someone be kind enough to post the stock home screen wallpaper that comes with the Note 10.1 LTE? Thanks a lot.

imor, I seem to be having the same issue, as I have also bricked my tablet. I originally rooted about two months ago using casual, and the OTA update screwed it up today. I am pretty new to this and not sure what needs to be done. I can only get my tablet to ODIN mode, and able to connect it to ODIN on my computer, but I have no idea what I am supposed to flash to the device. Any help is extremely appreciated.
So I am willing to help out and make a stock recovery and see if you restore it on your Verizon see if all your problems go away I will do this later tonight

Hello guys,
I just rootet my Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 running 4.1.2 Android from AT&T model i497.
Reading through many threads here I could not find a ROM to upgrade this to Kitkat 4.4.2. Is there an upgrade?
I should also point out that I would be totally OK using any ROM as this Tablet will not use any phone line from AT&T going forward. It will be mounted on the wall for Home Automation with just Wifi. So killing the AT&T crap software and giving me simple KitKat would be totally ok.
Any help guys here?
Thanks in advance.
No luck

Doesn't look like anybody is working on this.
Let me phrase the question then differently. The I497 is from AT&T. The same or similar hardware is also provided by other phone companies or even better there are same or similar hardware versions out there without the mobile SIM card option going with simply WiFi.
Does anybody know which KitKat ROM I can install on my I497 to get it from Jellybean to KitKat even if that means I will have a Vanilla KitKat and also might loose my SIM card option? I just need WiFi on that tablet and that's it.
I am open for suggestions guys. Thanks.
I'm also wondering as well

Any answers yet?
I had to search a long time last weekend to get PagePlus on my i535, but I was surprised I flashed it without my SIM installed.
Right now I can make calls and text without the SIM which I couldn't do with my LG Lucid on PagePlus (a 4G phone). I don't know if I went the hard way with flashing my Lucid to PagePlus by keeping the SIM installed, or if it's just the different phone.
For those that use PagePlus on your S3, do you have the SIM installed?
If it's the case that no one else has an S3 on PP without a SIM< I could make instructions on how to flash the S3 with the SIM.
Edit: I could be very noob by writing this, but oh well I'm curious.
Fellow noob here. I would *love* a guide (or even just some guidance/pointers to relevant threads/material) on flashing a Verizon S3 to PP. I'm on PP now with an old enV3 that is about ready to bite the dust and have been looking into upgrading, but the amount of information to parse and grok is just mind-boggling. I'm a programmer by profession so I have no trouble getting down and dirty -- just would really appreciate some help in the right direction. Even a brief overview of the entire flashing process would be helpful.
tl;dr - +1 for a guide!

Hey lol,
Flashing 4G phones to a 3G only network is tricky business and it's a pain in my experience. I can make a guide for sure sometime for the S3.
I would love to have a guide also! That would help me alot....:good: can you pm me the instructions?
