I used super click to root it. it said it worked, but I cannot see my internal memory to copy anything. It shows my sd card when I insert it but I cannot access my internal memory. Im new to messing with smart phones but not computers. my apologizefor the need of details. I am useing windows 7.
US Cellular is CDMA. You have a GSM phone. They're not inter-compatible.
Just wondering if this is possible? I am wanting to put it on as my prepaid phone for us cellular.

100% impossible. You need a CDMA phone, and I think US Cellular will only activate US Cellular-branded phones.
So im wasting my time?
Yup, pretty much.

I'm getting it today maybe.
Phone's similar to Galaxy S 3 mini but not identical. Screen is smaller, dimension is little different, no NFC, different screen type, and no gorilla.
What I wanna know is if extended battery for S3mini is compatible with T599.
recover bricked sgh t-599
hi all
i have tried to root my galaxy exhibit t599, it is running on android 4.12.
i used odin 3.04 to flash cwm version recovery-clockwork-touch-6.0.2.7-golden.tar, than i tried to boot into the cwm recovery but it didnt work so i connected to the phone via adb and ran "adb reboot recovery". now my phone keeps on restarting, seems like it cant get into the recovery but will keep on reboot to try.
the only other access i can have to the phone is download mode, any help would be appriciated
thanks
Why is there no support for the t599?
Is there a plan for a t599 forum?
I would also love to see a forum for the T599 (Samsung Galaxy Exhibit in US, Samsung Galaxy Ace II e in Canada) myself too.
Here are some known specs:
ST-Ericsson NovaThor U8420 (w/ ARM Mali 400)
2G GSM 850 / 900 / 1800 / 1900
3G HSDPA 850 / 1700 / 1900 / 2100
Android 4.1.2
4 GB internal storage
1 GB of RAM
microSD card support
3.8" screen w/ 480x800 resolution
1500 mAh removable battery
Other than the smaller screen size, different radio band support, lack of NFC and smaller internal storage, looks like it's nearly identical to the international Samsung Galaxy S 3 Mini. Uses the same SoC.

I just got this phone. I think it's called Samsung Galaxy Exhibit, T599. I'm also trying to root the phone but i'm having problems iwth it. I dl'ed the zerg_rush_root.rar file and ran the .bat file. But it kept giving me errors like location not found, unable to mount, etc... I want to know if i'd be able to reboot into recovery, then run the zerg rush.rar file from there and if it would work that way. Anyone had any success rooting this phone yet? If so, how'd u do it? I'd really like to know cause i want to erase all the bloatware.
Thanks
:good:

I just got one too, only about a gig available for apps so to be able to use something like ICS SD Binder would be nice.
The zerg_rush_root.rar did not work with my T599, I think it's just for the Exhibit II 4G
The naming of these phones does not help with searching!!
Exhibit 4G (Galaxy S variant) 2011
Exhibit II 4G T679 (Galaxy W variant) 2011
Galaxy Exhibit 4G (software update of the Exhibit II 4G) 2012
Galaxy Exhibit T599 (S III Mini variant) (this phone) 2013
The cydia impactor root method works on the t599. I put an ext4 partition on my sd card and am successfully using the link2sd app from the play store.
You can follow this thread in S3 mini forum for now. [System Dump] SGH-T599 (4.1.2) JZO54K.T599UVAMB5
You'll find a systemdump, rootmethod and original recovery to flash with Odin. Good news is also that Triangle Away works to reset custom binary count.
Hopefully someone is trying to build a custom recovery for it as well.
Thanks everyone for the info. Finally have my t599 rooted.
Any rom for this phone yet ?? T599

How did you finally root your SGH-T599, I've been looking everywhere to try and root mine and I have had ABSOLUTELY no luck at all.
Any help you could give me on getting mine rooted would be awesome and greatly appreciated.
Thanks for any help/instructions you can give me.

Help Unlocking rooted SGH-T599N
BRAND NOOB*
I've got the Metro PCS sgh-t599n
was rooted by my ex before he split*And Iv been trying to unlock it for almost a month since by myself. And I don't know what I'm doing.
So far, the only thing I was able to unlock was a virus onto my step moms laptop. Very nice way to say thanks to her. SMH. (My dad was able to fix that but not without being super mad =/)
Someone on here must know how I can unlock it??I don't have one of those box thigs but I can connect it to my computer with USB.*It is locked to metro PCS but I already have the T mobile sim card (and like a total rookie) I activated (and paid for) prepaid service through them 3 wks ago... Sigh.*Guess I was a little over confident I would be able to figure this out lol I have done soooo much reading on it its insane
I have already canceled my metro service and didn't have them for 3 months prior, so getting my network sim unlock code from Metro isn't an option.*Also, (like a big giant noob) I thought I would be cute and try to guess the unlock pin when I had some time to kill one day*SMH.*Now I may have made it to where I will need a PUK code also
*IDK... That's probably obvious tho*lol.*If anyone can help me with any advice or information, or even just point me in the right direction you would definitely be my hero. *This is the longest I have ever been away from my 6 yr old and although we Skype often, if I am not home (or somewhere with wif ) he has no way to reach me atm, even tho I'm paying for service.*Boooo. Lol. Someone help the newbie! Please and thank you =)*

Hi guys, so yesterday I purchased a plan for wind mobile to use on my Samsung S2 SGH-i757m phone. I had already been with them about a year ago and everything worked fine with the phone and such. However yesterday I decided to root my phone by flashing Cf-auto-root using ODIN3 which
did not work out, it said it succeed but the Cf-auto-root and the red andriod robot got stuck when rebooted ( I already made a thread about ). this caused me to flash back my stock ROM which worked. Now my phone does not register on wind mobile network, and if it does it registers on Wind away. my IMEI starts with 352, my baseband is I757MUGMC5. Can anyone help me by finding out the problem? Is it because of the root? did the root remove the phones factory unlock? it is something with the radio? or maybe is it a faulty sim card? All help would be highly appreciated!
SOLVED ISSUE, Flashed Another radio and now it works well. Thanks XDA forums!

Hello,
A friend gave me a retail Samsung Galaxy A5 from a shop and i wanted to know if there is any possible way to make it a regular phone.
Everything's working actually except from the fact that it doesnt recognise any Sim Card and the Call app "that Green Phone image" that any android has it's missing.
So ita can be used as a "tablet" but not as a phone.
I tried routing the phone but it didnt worked.
Any ideas?
Will flashing a custom ROM solve the issue?
If so can you please give me the steps in doing so.....
Thank you.
I also got the same phone with missing dialer and network option am thinking of flashing it with new firmware. But if u got any suggestion jux let me know. As i am eager to see this phone work.
Some told me it can be fix.

hi, i have a sprint note edge probably it can be rooted, but its possible to remove the simlock for international use??
I have seen a sim unlock option with galaxy tools app. Dont know if it works just know its there. I was going to ask the same question about domestic unlocking.
So anyone got answers i would like to hear. I read note edge was gsm/cdma capable like the nexus. Please someone who knows chime in. Looking to get domestic unlock because i am sure it isnt easily done through sprint.
Secondly i tried to root it whith the odin/chainfire and it didnt work. Git the error message after failed flash and had to re do the stock firmware with odin. Anyone got a link to the chainfire maybe i downloaded the one for kitkat?
