Hey Furzbirre,
I tried everything here - no luck. Could you please tell me what you exactly did?
I have a 8.6.6.23 / BA0 / TF101G (seems pretty the same version you have).
Thank you very much, Thomas
PS: What I tried already:
- downgrade with 8.6.6.19 version floating around on multiupload
- unzipped the epad...zip from the download
- put it on microsd, internal sd, renamed it to EP101_SDUPDATE.zip
- rebooted with vol-down/power, then vol-up: android update started
- yellow sign: no update possible - still 8.6.6.23
-> what have you done diffrently?

I try downgrade my TF101G serial BAO... and dont work. In recovery mode appears a yellow triangle when try load a EP101_SDUPDATE.zip
Nachoroot
Use Nachoroot, it works, no downgrade necessary

Hello,
I have the same TF101g than tsch with 8.6.6.23 ROM.
I used NachoRoot and I have successfully rooted my TF101G.
But now I don't know how to install ClockWork Mode ?
See the link in my signature for assistance with CWM.
in some thread i found this method: after you unzip file, you make name one copy of this file ""EP101_SDUPDATE"" then you make another copy of this same file and name ""WW_epad-user-8.6.6.19"" so on the end you have 2 same files with diferent names, now you copy this 2 files to micro sd card
and another copy 2 files to tablet sdcard, root folder
after going to recovery mode is installing with no problem, just done 2 days ago
and dont forget to remove this files after instalation and reboot
i hope is gonna work for you ether
Yeah, just don't bother putting them on the internal memory, it doesn't search the root of that drive, it checks the system/cache (I think) folder for official Asus updates, stick with keeping it on external memory, especially if unrooting because if you place these files on your internal and return it if someone else roots the device and finds these files it is a smoking gun that it has been rooted in the past. Just in case...keep it on your external (and that might have been my post you read that in, I have found that the EP101_SDUPDATE file is not even necessary )

Has anyone got a root method that works for the HDC Galaxy S3 G9300?
Have tried Bin4ry v18 and another script but they didn't work.
The phone has JB 4.1.1. The Kernel is 3.4.0 dated Dec 3 2012. The build number is; e1920_v77_zlh_9p017_asx_20121203
Thanks for any help or advice.
Is now rooted, read on..

Me too. I've spent probably 6 hours today messing around with the 1.8 version script, on both windows 7 and Linux. It always fails the same place, with mount permission denied ... are you root?
I have other issues with the G9300 that I'd like to tackle, like WiFi range, but digging in requires root access. Here's hoping somebody smarter than I can find a way to root this thing.

The tutorial isn't clear about how to run Android Kitchen. In the Android Kitchen folder is a script called 'menu' that has to be executed by cygwin. Launch cygwin first with the .bat file in its install folder. Then, navigate to the 'menu' script. Hint: '/cygdrive/c/<path to Android Kitchen>/menu'
Nowhere does the tutorial say to copy 'Root_Superuser_3.1.3_Busybox_1.20.2-Update1-signed.zip' onto your sd. You will want to do that before beginning the final recovery step.

Its great you figured out a root method, and thanks for sharing it :good:
I have just run through it on my phone and all has gone well until I got to where mobileuncle tools flashes the recovery.img. It needs Superuser access to do that and I don't have it. I am thinking it must be something to do with the Menu script you mentioned. How to you run that script? What is the command for it?
Thanks for any help!
Sounds like you're 95% there

From what you've written I will make a few assumptions. It sounds like you successfully did the rebuild with Android Kitchen, where it created a new recovery.img. And then you used SP Flash Tool to successfully transfer the new image to your phone.
You don't need mobileuncle. It's a great utility to have, but you don't need if for this process. Install it later when this is all done.
If the above assumptions are correct, you already have downloaded the modded recovery to your phone and you're 95% done. It sounds like all you need to do is put the zip install for su, superuser, and busybox onto your sd card, boot into recovery (upvolume+power), navigate to 'install zip from sd card', install the su-superuser-busybox zip, and reboot.
If that doesn't work, I suggest working your way back up the chain – re-downlod the new recovery.img; if that fails, rebuild the new recovery.img; etc.

Finally, you rooted the phone. Do you think you could upload the rom somewhere? Others can just download it and flash without going through the entire process. Good Job!!

Hi - Yes you are right, I have created the recovery.img and transferred it to the phone.
Thanks for the tip that I don't need to use mobileuncle.. So I have booted up into CWM and have the su-superuser-busybox zip on my sd card. Trouble is CWM doesn't recognise the sd card and says E: unknown volume. That is strange because android sees it fine when the phone starts.
I am still wondering if my problem is from the the android kitchen part. I wasn't able to run android kitchen. I think I better run through the process again. How did you bring up the 'menu' in kitchen? I ran cygwin first and then navigated to kitchens path and used /menu and also ./menu but just got an error message. Even dumped all of kitchens files into cygwins root directory in case I had messed up the navigation path but still got the same error message whenever I tried to run menu. How did you get it to run please?
Thanks for your help :fingers-crossed:

I have uploaded the recovery.img that I created here. Remember, because it works on my phone is no guarantee that it won't break yours. You use it solely at your own risk. Also, you will still need to use CWM to install the su+superuser+busybox zip from your sd.
Next problem - no 3G
Having the phone rooted, I've gone on to the next problem that has no ready solution.
That is, no 3G. I use the AT&T network in the USA. AT&T uses WCDMA on 850MHz and 1900MHz for their 3G service. The HDC G9300+ doesn't support WCDMA at 1900MHz, which is the band that AT&T uses most. Where I am (Phoenix AZ) there is only 1900MHz service, which means that I can't get any 3G. Only 2G "Edge".
The problem *might* be remedied through software - or maybe not. If the MTK6577 radio doesn't support 1900MHz in some hardware sense, then the game is over. But I doubt that for two reasons. First, from a marketing standpoint, the AT&T network is too big to just ignore when designing a generic platform like the MTK6577. Second, from a hardware standpoint, the transceiver frequencies are synthesized from one base oscillator through a set of on-chip frequency multipliers and dividers. If the MTK6577 can generate frequencies in the 2100MHz band it can almost surely generate frequencies in the 1900MHz band. What's required is a software driver that properly sets the multipliers and dividers.
My bet is that somewhere out there in the world there is a software driver for the phone's radio that can set the chip to work in the 1900MHz band.
Can somebody find that driver so that we can bundle it into a ROM for this phone? Or a tool to adjust the driver that's bundled with the phone?
Please tell me

Thanks for uploaded your recovery file. I thought I would try that before going through the process of redoing mine. This time it kicked straight into CWM without any sdcard errors, so was able to install the zip file. It is now nicely rooted and has been running for several hours, and as yet I have found no problems.
Great job and thanks for sharing your knowledge :good:

First time I purchased from them, found them very good and had no problems. Took about 15 days to get it. Considering there were xmas & new year holidays at the time it was pretty good.
How to root your HDC Galaxy S3 G9300+
For those wanting to root their HDC Galaxy S3 G9300+ phones follow these steps;
Download wseverin's 'recovery.img' from post #10.
Download my 'MT6577_Android_scatter_emmc.txt', 'su+superuser+busybox.zip', 'SP_Flash_Tool_v3.1224.01.rar' and 'MT657x_USB_Win7_Driver.zip' files that I have attached to this post.
Install the USB drivers to your computer if you don't already have them.
Copy the su+superuser+busybox.zip file to your phones SD Card.
Run Flash Tool (Flash_tool.exe) in administrator mode.
Load my scatter file.
Next, backup your original recovery file (This is very important in case something gets messed up) Do this using the 'Read-Back' function. Select Hex and enter 0x1588000 for Start Address and 0x600000 for Length. Before clicking the Read Back button, shutdown your phone and remove the battery and USB cable. Next click Read Back, plug in the USB cable and replace the battery (But do not switch the phone on) The software will backup the file and come up with an OK window if successful.
Next flash your phone with wseverin's recovery.img. Do this from the Download tab in Flash Tool and tick the Recovery option. Before pushing the Download button you will also need to shutdown the phone, remove the battery and USB cable as above.
Next start the phone holding the volume-up + power buttons. This will boot the phone into CWM. Choose 'Install zip from sdcard', then 'choose zip from sdcard', navigate to the su+superuser+busybox.zip file and select yes to install it.
That's it! So easy!!
If you followed the steps correctly, after you reboot the phone it should have root access.. However, be warned that your phone could be bricked if something goes wrong or your phone is a different model, so do this at your own risk and backup your original first!
PS: thanks to wseverin for the modded recovery file and being the 1st to root this phone.

Do I detect a hint of cynicism?
It seems to be a decently built phone. The display is good; actually better resolution than many competing models. Fit and finish are as good as you'll get anywhere. The capacitive touch screen is just fine. GPS, WiFi, and Bluetooth all work well except that the WiFi range is a bit anemic. Software is pretty much standard Android Jelly Bean. I consider it worth what I paid for it, especially since I am not about to spend 3X that for a cell phone. Oh, and it actually makes and receives phone calls!

Hello,
First of all, please excuse my english...
I have a Star G9300+ smartphone with the same JB 4.1.1, same kernel (3.4.0 dated Dec 3 2012), same build number (e1920_v77_zlh_9p017_asx_20121203) than yours, but 1Gb RAM memory.
Could I use the same method to root my smartphone? How much RAM have yours?

Yes mine is also 1Gb RAM. I have read that HDC and Star are the same, however I don't know this for sure. This is where I purchased my phone;
http://www.fastcardtech.com/goods.php?u=53399&id=8113
Does yours look the same??
If yours looks the same you could always try it I suppose, but make sure you backup your phones entire ROM first. That way you can reinstate the original in case it doesn't work.
I managed to pull some files together including the .pit file from my now working tablet and make a fully working 4 file firmware and combo (all in one) firmware that CAN be flashed with Odin. I have tested it on my device and it does work. Since I know people are searching EVERYWHERE for this, I have released a download link for these files below.
Please, feel free to re-post this anywhere, just be sure to credit me.
DISCLAIMER (Obviously): I WILL NOT BE HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DAMAGE DONE TO YOUR DEVICE AFTER FLASHING. KEEP IN MIND THAT ANYTHING CAN GO WRONG, EVEN IF YOU'RE FLASHING FIRMWARE THAT IS MADE FOR YOUR DEVICE. THE FIRMWARE AVAILABLE BELOW HAS NOT BEEN MODIFIED, ENGINEERED, OR EDITED IN ANY WAY TO CHANGE THE FUNCTIONALITY OF YOUR DEVICE. IF YOUR DEVICE BRICKS AFTER FLASHING, IT'S ALL ON YOU.
Flashing instructions:
But first, the requirements:
1) SM-T337A, Obviously, but seriously, I can't stress how important it is that you check that your model number is matched with the model number in this thread before flashing anything.
2) A Windows pc (NOT A VIRTUAL MACHINE! Using a VM to flash your device has a high chance to hard-brick your tab, and make sure your computer is running Windows XP or newer.)
3) Your device's USB transfer/charging cable
4) A Brain (Obviously)
Now then, the actual steps (4 File Firmware):
1) Boot your tab into download mode (Shut the device down completely, then hold down the power, volume down, and home button at the same time until a warning message appears)
2) Download and open Odin on your pc
3) Grab the USB charging cable and plug your tab into your pc
4) If Odin does not show your device in the list (It will display an "Added" message if the device is detected) download the Samsung USB Drivers for Mobile Phones and install it to your pc. You may need to/and it is recommended to restart your computer after installing the drivers.
5) Extract the zip file you downloaded containing the firmware to your desktop or a memorable place on your computer.
6) If you wish to wipe your data and start from scratch, click on the 'PIT' tab and select the .pit file in the extracted folder. Then, click the 'OPTIONS' tab and select 'Re-Partition' and 'NAND Erase All'.
7) Insert the firmware files into Odin. Within Odin, for instance, Click on the 'BL' button, which is where the bootloader file goes. Select the extracted package that has 'BL' at the beginning, and vice versa.
Example:
BL: *directory*/BL_T337AUCU2BOH4...
AP: *directory*/AP_T337AUCU2BOH4...
CP: *directory*/CP_T337AUCU2BOH4...
CSC: *directory*/CSC_ ATT_T337AUCU2BOH4...
8) Once done, verify that you have correctly done all the steps above, click 'Start' in Odin and wait for Odin to output a "PASS" message before unplugging anything.
9) If you wish to flash the firmware, but keep your data, make sure that there is no .pit file in Odin, make sure that 'Re-Partition' and 'NAND Erase All' are unchecked, and make sure that there is no file inserted under the 'CSC' row.
Tutorial (Combo Firmware)
1) Boot your tab into download mode (Shut the device down completely, then hold down the power, volume down, and home button at the same time until a warning message appears)
2) Download and open Odin on your pc
3) Grab the USB charging cable and plug your tab into your pc
4) If Odin does not show your device in the list (It will display an "Added" message if the device is detected) download the Samsung USB Drivers for Mobile Phones and install it to your pc. You may need to/and it is recommended to restart your computer after installing the drivers.
5) Extract the zip file you downloaded containing the firmware to your desktop or a memorable place on your computer.
6) Within Odin, Select 'AP' and browse to the directory where you extracted the firmware, and select the .tar package in the directory. There should be nothing else under the other tabs, only 'AP' should have a firmware package in it.
7) Flashing this package (unless you perform the "Developers Tip" at the end of this thread) will wipe all of your data, so be sure that the proper .pit file that came with the firmware package is selected under the 'PIT' tab in Odin and make sure that 'Re-Partition' and 'NAND Erase All' are checked in Odin to ensure a complete wipe of all personal data on the device. If you perform the developers tip at the end of the thread, simply insert the new package you created under 'AP', make sure there is no .pit file under the PIT slot, and make sure that 'Re-Partition' and 'NAND Erase All' are unchecked in Odin.
8) Once done, verify that everything is set and ready-to-go, then click 'Start' and wait for Odin to output a "PASS" message before unplugging anything.
9) Enjoy!
WARNING: If you are seeing sites that charge you money for the files, DO NOT BUY IT. They are scams and I HIGHLY SUGGEST AVOIDING THESE SITES. I didn't have to buy anything. If you do buy the firmware from these scam sites, and your device becomes bricked or messed up in some way, don't say I didn't warn you.
4 File Firmware Download: https://mega.nz/#!n8Q3VIIS!OComhygeI5SL5R6n0EXEfiYMBtVn_aOAIcUuLgmYs-k

If the link doesn't work or goes down for some reason or if you were confused by my instructions in any way, please let me know.
Developers Tip: If you want to flash firmware without wiping your data, make sure there is no pit file selected under the PIT tab in Odin, then extract your firmware package (extract everything into a separate folder for combo firmware, extract the CSC package for 4 file downloads) and remove cache.img.ext4 then repack as a .tar file. Applies to both combo and 4 file firmware packages. In 4 file packages, cache.img.ext4 is in the CSC file. However, in some cases this may put your device in a bootloop. If you wish to do this on an older device and the cache file doesn't have the .ext4 extension at the end, don't worry, it'll work the same way.
Now that you have the firmware, WHY NOT ROOT IT? Check out my thread on how to do so here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/tab-4/general/root-how-to-root-sm-t337a-supersu-t3553848

I'll be honest and say its not easy. Making this firmware took me about 3 months. OTA update files are very different from actual Odin firmware files. If you want to extract the files from an OTA update, I just used 7Zip and went from there.
Lollipop 5.1.1 Root for SM-T337A
@KingOfTheNet - Great stuff. There are definitely some shady sites out there offering firmware for the T337A so thank you.
Not to be greedy but any recommendations on rooting 5.1.1 on SM-T337A. I am trying to remove all of the Samsung and AT&T bloatware and get my Tab 4 running lean and mean. I am pretty sure I went with your firmware - my build number is listed as LMY47X.T337AUC2BOH4.
Appreciate the support.

Your welcome bro, happy to help! I have actually rooted my tab with SuperSU, fully working. The only thing is its temporary, and I avoid rebooting or shutting the device down at all because it's a system-less SuperSU (meaning temporary). I'll make a thread on how to achieve root on this tab later tomorrow when I get home from work, unless someone replies to this before I do (It's late where I'm at).
Cheers!

Hello! ... First of all, thank you for all your hard work! But unfortunately that firmware does not seem to work for me. I'm a little newbie, so I'd appreciate if someone could explain the steps to follow specifically with Odin, as a tutorial or something ... so that I can distinguish what I'm doing wrong.

Hello! ... First of all, thank you for all your hard work! But unfortunately that firmware does not seem to work for me. I'm a little newbie, so I'd appreciate if someone could explain the steps to follow specifically with Odin, as a tutorial or something ... so that I can distinguish what I'm doing wrong.
I uploaded a short video so you can see what I mean... If you could take the time to watch it and tell me what I'm doing wrong, that would be awesome.
Here it is: youtu.be/9JsLVJ-xHMA (I cannot post direct link since I'm new user)

It's actually very easy, that's why I didn't put any instructions in the thread, I just assumed people knew how to do it by now. But I'm happy to provide instructions to those people who don't know how. Instead of posting said instructions right here, I'll update the thread with instructions.
Cheers!

No, this thread is for the Tab 4 8.0 AT&T. Please make sure you consult the relevant forums for your device model as doing anything meant to be done on different devices can be catastrophic.

Finally got the instructions up. You can check the very beginning of the thread for instructions on flashing. Just remember, I will not be held responsible if your device is bricked after the matter.
Cheers!
Hi guys
I am sorry that my post is maybe very short but the original one was messed up by the system
So now I try it again and with a short version...
At first:
Thanks for help (a "flashing triple-noob") on xda :laugh:. I found so many informations (also before with other problems) and this was way beyond "help"-all of you get a great "thumbs up"!
And so far-the only experience in flashing was on my Xperia Z1 (de-brand) and it was quite easy but now it seems....uhmmmm....
So now go to my questions:
(hint: I want to use the stock FW no custom)
1.)
Anybody know the differences between the firmware version (no, I dont mean fingerprint ) of "Customized Hong Kong" and "CE1" for XZP Premium G8142?
Depends on the answer of this question maybe the next two dont need an answer
2.)
Question for newflasher:
I found and read many informations about flashing the FW but I getting more confused with more information!?
If I use newflasher the normal guide for that was veryyyy easy. And also at the moment newflasher is the only application for the XZ so > no other choice
But on the other side some user mentioned the following things:
-newflasher doesnt do a "full flash", something/files will be incomplete (means what? somebody have issues after flash?)
-delete parts of the files (like "things dont need" or "the partion folder")
-create partition folder (?)
So what is right and what is wrong?
Do I need to follow the easy tutorial or do I need to customize depends what happens during the flash?
3.)
Question for flashtool:
I know that currently flashtool doesnt support the XZP (still right?) even if its mentioned under "supported devices".
Also found (the generally) information that it isnt necessary to unlock the bootloader for flash a stock rom.
Now in flashtool description everybody can read: "...can only be used by Xperia™ devices having an unlocked boot loader..."???
But for unlock it needs to save the DRM keys before...and for this needs root.
But for root it needs to unlock the BL before...and this will erase the DRM keys before can save them.
So even if flashtool works on XZP the keys will be always lost?
Uhmm what I get wrong?
So thats my questions and I hope I can get some answers.
Because for the decision about the next device the XZP always comes back after compare with others (even it has a hybrid sim tray).
Thanks for help
Launch Flashtool/XperiFirm and download the fw you want. Either Nougat or Oreo.
Go into the fw folder, copy all the newflasher files and simply drop them into the fw folder, connect your phone in flashmode and doubleclick newflasher.exe
Wait until it has completed flashing and that's it!
IF you want to upgrade your fw later on without losing data, then you would have to delete some files yes, but for now just let everything be.

There's not really any difference, just go with what you want and it will be fine.

It does a proper flash if you leave the files intact.

Only delete certain files if you want to upgrade your fw without losing data.

Just rightclick the rar file and extract into a folder "partition"

You can flash without unlocking bootloader, don't worry.
Hi, thanks for reply.
I see your first post-its good that you dont see the first (messed up) post (because contains much more text )

Sounds good and exactly the things I found first. Later (after tons of information from xda) the questions comes up. But now - seems the way it works :good:

Nice to know-so I can buy a randomly choosed XZP and the FW I want (at the moment all devices here dont have any google content in the FW) can be flashed afterwards

No you use newflasher, Flashtool doesn't work with XZP.
So with newflasher you are meant to extract the partition.zip and put the contents in a partition folder in the same directory as the other files downloaded through XperiFirm right? If that's the case then how did I manage to update from Nougat to Oreo when I deleted the partition.zip file without extracting it and flashed the update?
Hi all, I am a new owner of the ROG Phone 5 Tencent version. I got it from Jingdong(a Chinese Amazon-like platform) and I have been busy flash my phone for the last couple of days. Now I got my phone converted to WW(sort of) and I am going to start using it as my regular phone - bye-bye Oneplus 6.
It's actually a back and forth process of the conversion. I manage to get the phone converted to WW at the first attempt. However, I am not happy with the HardwareStub warning message and the fact I am not able to receive OTA. Then I restore my phone back to CN version and try to live with the CN version. I tried to debloat + install GApps however I don't like it. Last night I flash my phone with the latest WW firmware.... again. I still hate this HardwareStub notification, so I decompiled the HardwareStub apk. From the source code, I found a function checking the value of the property ro.boot.image.valid. If this property is not "Y", then the warning message will be set and persist on the notification bar. Then I use dumped all the props from adb shell to verify the theory. Yes, it's not "Y".
[ro.boot.image.valid]: [N]
I also noticed some other props that still indicating CN flag despite all others using WW.
[ro.boot.country_code]: [CN]
[ro.boot.product.override]: [CN_I005D]
[ro.build.description]: [CN_I005D-user ***build number***]
[ro.odm.build.fingerprint]: [asus/CN_I005D/ASUS_I005_1 ***build number***]
[ro.vendor.build.fingerprint]: [asus/CN_I005D/ASUS_I005_1 ***build number***]
This makes me wondering:
1. If all the CN flags change to WW, does this change the ro.boot.image.valid to Y?
2. Is it possible to change mentioned props?
Note: I am not a rom customization expert so I might be asking nonsense questions...
The conversion guides all mention modifying the CN values.
Yes, I did modify the vender/factory/COUNTRY file content from CN to WW. I didn't see any other places that need to be modified from the tutorial I have seen. Maybe I missed something....

At this moment, flash WW rom and change COUNTRY file only give us a 90% conversion and leave some itchy problems. I am thinking more about "perfect" conversion. Let's say if we could find a way to make all above props correct (WW) does it give us a perfect conversion? I am not sure you get my point. Maybe it's not a thing at all.....

Thanks for your advice, just a quick question. Besides change /vender/factory/COUNTRY file, what else need to be modified during the conversion?

There is two additional things to look at it ..
1) asuskeys partition backup all of it
And u will notice that asus key 4 has CN written in it and need to be modified using hex editor .. and by help of computer u have to flash twrp and reboot to fastbootd using command fastboot reboot fastboot to flash asuskey back with modification of ww
The extra thing which i could not trigger is when u go to setting /system /about phone /software information /(baseband version) of CN is different than WW .. need special way to change that and i cannot figure it out

How did you change it?
I don't have access to modify it through root explorer or TWRP.

I believe one way is to unpack the image, modify it, and flash it back. It should be the vendor partition (or vendor_boot). Hopefully, there is a better way. That's tedious.

I don't think OP chose this path, for the obvious reasons.
I did it in the ROG 2 / ROG 3 both with Root Explorer, But was unable to do it in the ROG 5 due to Android 11.
@bleachwind - Any thoughts, comments ?
