Rooting T599N - MetroPCS ? - General Questions and Answers

Ive tried looking for a rooting method for this phone and have not come up with anything, i ran across a page with a list of roms for it so there's got to be a way to root it, I'm not sure if i want to install a rom but what i do want is to uninstall some of the bloatware that comes installed on the phone..
Does anyone have a link for a guide on rooting this phone? and possibly a list of the apps that are safe to remove?
I tried to use the advanced search on this site but i was told it was unavailable..
Any help would be appreciated

Hi, just connect it with usb with developer option On, and click start at Impactor where the tab option say 'Put Super User SU at directory system'.
Wait until finish about 10sec proccess.
I can't find SU icon at my T599N though, but my Z3x program said is Rooted.
Then I can unlock it .

Hi.
I just registered so I could post to this thread =)
BRAND NOOB ALERT!
I've got the Metro PCS sgh-t599n
It has been rooted by my ex boyfriend
I seriously have been trying to unlock this bad boy for almost a month!
And I don't know what I'm doing SO MUCH, that trying to figure it out I accidentally got a Trojan virus on my step moms laptop she let me borrow (SMH-dad fixed that tho phew!)
Do you know how how I can unlock it??
I don't have one of those box thigs but I can connect it to my computer with USB
I have the T mobile sim card (and like a noobie) 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 definitely tried everything to find out how...
But 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 it 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.
If you can help me with any advice or information, or even just point me in the right direction you would definitely be my hero at this point!
This is the longest I have ever been away from my 6 yr old and although we Skype often, if I am not home I have no way to reach me atm even tho I'm paying for service.
Boooo. Lol. Someone help the newbie!
Please and thank you =)

Regards.

I am a newbie and I do not have yet the ability to do this.

Does anybody has achived to unlock the nuvifone, or has found an application that can do it?.
Well after several months trying to find I solutions for unlocked my nuvifone, I decide to pay for get the unlock code.
I only have a question, I read on the pages that offer the unlock codes that if the phone is rooted, the code will not work, Does any one know if this is true?
It sounds weird to me, but better ask to make a mistake.
Best Regards.
hi i'm having some difficulty too. i downloaded the superone click app and went through the stages ie unmount the sd card etc, and at the end of installation a message came up that said i have been successfull in rooting my phone ( garmin a50 ). so the superuser icon appeared in the app draw and all looked good. i then downloaded and installed root uninstaller as well as set cpu. i managed to delete system apps and use the set cpu to adjust my speeds. but that's all, every other app that requires root access does not work and they all state that my device is not rooted. and busy box wont install. i also downloaded root checker and tested it and it also said my phone was not rooted.
z4root works just fine on the A50 (aka: Garminfone)
Root uninstaller will NOT remove most apps.
You can remove them manually.
Facebook, twitter, visual voice mail etc. can reside in a few different spots and will come back if not removed from all of them.
/Carrier/persist-app
/data/app
/system/app
and
/system/carrier/persist-app
You may find some of these files across different locations. facebook is in at least 2 or 3 of them.
those are the locations to manually go in and remove the bloatware from. Careful: it is immediate. only remove the bloatware, leave everything else or you can brick the phone and have to recover using the D-pad left to Wipe UserData trick to restore it.

captivate network unlock

I just want to make sure the following steps are correct to unlock carrier network before I start messing around with my new samsung captivate.
1. Use one click root
2. Flash Clockwork Custom Recovery
3. Lastly follow the [REF] How to unlock/unfreeze all SGS Models [NOW WORKS ON Vibrant 4G] post.
What is the purpose of step 2? why do I have to flash some custom software? And how stable are the updates after 2.2 update? I am wondering if I should even mess around with CyanogenMod 7, which is a mod, as far as I understand, that updates the phone to android 2.3
I tried researching on these topics but there is such a bulk amount of information that it's kinda hard to consolidate everything and fully understand it. Help out a noob!
After you root your phone, just download the Galaxy S Unlock from the market. Follow the steps on there, which is pretty much just a click and a reboot, and you're unlocked.

Be sure to get the one called "Galaxy_S Unlock" The Author is Helroz
actually I forgot to mention, but I am taking this phone to Europe and I don't have a SIM that works in the US to access the market.
try to connect to internet from a wifi connection and download busybox and sgs unlock by helroz.
step 1. Root your phone
step 2. download and install busybox from market.
step 3. download and install run sgs unlock by helroz. then follow the steps in the screen. with this app you dont need another simcard, it is simple and easy
now you can enjoy.
regards.
sorry for my english
and
sounds good
I could never get that unlock app to work for me. Works only on 2.1 right?
Worked on my stock 2.2
Works on every ported I9000 GB ROM I've tried so far too.
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
Hmm im stock 2.2 just rooted all I get is a bunch of F's
Theres a number code you put it (like you calling) I forget what that number was, but you put it in then a screen will come up saying if "Network Lock" is "[ON]" or "[OFF]"
If it says it is off then it does not matter if all u see is FFFFFF, you phone is unlocked. Same happen to me, I'm on T-Mobile right now.
Ya I know, it still says network lock on. I have an nv_data.bak file on my phone that says the size is 40.00 M in Astro file manager. Seems awfully big, but anyway. Ya, cant get it to work. No big deal I guess, no plans on going to T-mob, just wanted to show my aunt that she should can get this phone and use it on T-mob, her carrier.

The stock files Helroz's app saved on mine are 2.00MB (2097152). On T-Mo 2G Edge is the limit for Cappy's data rate.
worked on 2.3.3 too
Edit: The unlock is persistent even after I reflashed the ROM.
im having a problem with the app, everytime i try it i just get FFFFFFF and it doesnt work. i tried getting a new sim card and nada. it sucks cuz im on deployment and would really like to talk to the wife. any ideas?

Got root?.
1.root using superoneclick- make sure you download the one with the tool package included. you can do it on your pc if you have no market access. clshortfuse thanks.
2.unlock with helroz's program- you can get that without market access. thanks helroz
Note: you will need busy box and a wifi connection to run helroz's app.
i downloaded both of the above on my pc (apk files) then put them on my phone. i went to a hotel and got a wifi connection then ran helroz's program.
i unlocked in china with no sim. works like a charm. Trusselo gave me some good advice which is very simple: read the instructions for the superoneclick and unlocker. cant say this enough. also, donate to the developers. i donated and my johnson grew three inches.

can you please point to those apk files?
google "superoneclick CLShortFuse" then google "Galaxy_S_Unlock helroz" both results will lead you to the xda page which will lead you to the places to download the apk files. i had this problem in china with no market access and it worked for me. note: you will have to find a wifi connection for helroz's unlocker to work. both programs are super easy to use. if this helps please hit my thanks button. if you have any problems, you can pm me. i am a noob but i will try to help any way can.
also, if you get those apk files and they work, it is polite to donate to the developers. they have a little button that accepts paypal. those guys are really cool and even a small donation is a kind way of saying thanks.

Victory!

Hey everyone!
I'm finally glad to say that i have oficially become am Infuse owner and android junky! My buddy was able to get me the Infuse while in NY after many other attempts and heartbreak...
This thing is amazing! My first android phone and I love everything about it so far. Too be honest, the size isn't nearly as uncomfortable as i thought it could be. Feels great in the hand, bit slippery thought.
The next step is to unlock the sim which I believe i need to root it first yeah? When i root the device will change to vanilla Froyo or will touchwiz still be there? What will i lose in regards to apps and widgets and things like that?
I have seen two posts regarding rooting and sim unlocking so far. This is my first adroid device so this process is quite new to me. Would you all point in the right direction for which you believe is the best newb friendly for to root and sim unlock. I will be doing this first thing after work on Monday.
Thanks for all the helps as always!
I'm sooo excited...
First things first....
Find and download the latest Samsung Kies and install....this will give you the latest drivers to root using super one click...
Sent from my Samsung Infuse 4G
Thanks!
When i plugged the device to my computer I saw that there were 3 options: Mass storage, media, and somthing about Kies. Do i need to download this on the device or on my computer? And then would i select the Kies option when connecting it to the computer? I know this all newb of me, but i do appreciate all the help.
you need to google kies find and install with out it you cant really root.
then head over to Android development and download both the root and unlock since you need it unlocked.
as regards for losing apps or touchwiz, they still will be there.

Kies will install like an iTune kinda thing, but doesn't work for now on infuse st the same time install the infuse windows driver, if yoi just want to install the samsung infuse driver just go to, http://www.junefabrics.com/android/driver.php scroll down and click the samsung
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I997 using XDA App
read the whole thread on unlocking. it may print the wrong line and not give you the proper unlock code. you may need to use adb to find it through instructions found in the thread. also you will need the usb drivers which will install with kies (unless you are on a mac then you dont need drivers for usb devices) but if you find the samsung drivers without kies that might be better.
when you root it will still be touchwiz. touchwiz is hard to get rid of, not that there is a point, it isnt a bad ui.
i actually used this to root and unlock. i subsequently tested it with a Tmob sim and it worked great.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1081072
but yeah, get the drivers first and then follow the instructions and you'll be well on your way to freedom!
Downloaded Kies
Dowloaded superoneclick v 1.9.1
When i open superoneclick, i have a few files like root, adb, driver...etc. There is also one that says superoneclick, do i click on this one and extract?
EDIT: I saw the other thread posted by lost1 that uses the Rage against the cage method. This has a root and unlock paired together which i'm thinking might be an easier way to go.

Unlocked Infuse in 10 min
The Infuse is my first smartphone ever and im getting used to it too. I read about rooting and such and decided to do it. I used the super one click method and it was easy. I just downloaded and installed kies which recognized my phone then ran the superclick program and it was done. super easy. dont think it unlocked the sim but im not worried about that though.

[Q]Rooted/flashed Samsung Galaxy s3 Having some errors and i issues.

Ok so i'm am extremely new to this cell phone world. Long story short.. bought a Sprint white Samsung galaxy s3 which is upgraded to jelly bean 4.4.2 from a personal buyer.. Called sprint, her balance is outstanding and they have put the phones IMED number on the "bad esn" list. needless to say i couldn't put the phone on any carrier or sprint carrier til the balance was paid off.
So i did what anyone without a clue would do and i googled a way around it, and i got the "how to root/flash your Samsung galaxy s3 phone" Followed the instructions word for word.
Downloaded Odin
Downloaded team recovery and did NOT unzip the file.
- Put the Team Recovery Folder in my Phones internal memory
Download CMW file
- Put in the Odin slot for PA
Everything went according to plan. odio said it passed, i successfully flashed it, and i got to the boot loader and was able to install the team recovery. Phone rebooted.
The phone now had Superuser on it. clicked on it and a notice came up "unfortunately Superuser has stopped working"
So googled the problem and someone said to download "Root checker basic." Which came up with the error "Sorry! this device does not have proper root access."
So again i googled.. and go "download SuperSU" so i did... and got the message "There is no SU binary installed, and SuperSU cannot install it. This is a problem! ---If you just upgraded to android 4.3, you need to manually re-root consult the relevant forums for your device."
Sooo now i'm stuck.. because all i really want from this phone is: Pictures, Videos, Download game apps, Calling, Text, Web and WiFi.. not really interested in all the fancy ROM hacks. so far i have 5/7 the only problem is i don't have calling or text simply because i cant figure out how to put a Service carrier on my phone? do i buy a time card and enter the serial code in? do i call the straight talk company? Or did the root fail and i will never be able to put a cell phone carrier on the phone? at this point my knowledge about phone shows.. which is small. I have been reading for days. Yes i am getting to a point where i am comfortable with rooting.. but at this point i want to avoid a "brick" as much as possible.. and have no idea how to "re-root" a device that is already "rooted" without the fear of a "brick". So if anyone out there knows how to help please let me know. thanks so much

You can try to reroot your phone using Kingo Tool. Talking about IMEI problems, Chimera Tool will definitely help you.

Do i have to un-root my phone in order to use the kingo tool to root it again? or can you root a phone thats already been rooted?... and honestly the phone works perfect really, i mean yea i do have the errors but everything is running smoothly. except my knowledge of getting phone service on there.. :/ like straight talk or boost mobile. im just not sure how too :/

You can unroot your phone with Kingo and then root it again. BUT... rooting will not solve the problem of getting phone service. If I understood right, your IMEI is in black list and you can't call or send SMS, so to solve the problem you should change your IMEI, which is illegal. Chimera tool can do that, but if you will change your IMEI, then it'll be probably good idea to use one of your old phone's IMEI that is not in use, so it will not match with any other phones IMEI that are in use. Dial *#06# to see your IMEI.

Well I'm not sure, but I think that it can be identified if two exactly the same IMEIs are in use. If you will use your old phone's IMEI that is not in use, then it SHOULD be okay. I can tell you that I know a guy, who bought a phone and his IMEI went suddenly to black list. So he changed his IMEI which he took from his old phone and now it is okay and he has not been caught, even though he was a bit scared. You can be sure that there is no other exactly the same IMEI, if you take it from your old phone, but don't use your old phone anymore.
Do you know what version of supersu you tried? Had the same issue flashing cwm_supersu_v0.94.zip
Used update_supersu_v1.94.zip, went through the whole update binaries thing and it worked like a charm.

If I understood right, you already called sprint once and they know that you bought the phone. You can try to call them and discuss your situation, but I doubt that they will unlock the phone if they don't get the bill payed - still worth a try, because they know you have the phone. But if they want you to pay instead of someone else who should pay, then I would not agree to that.
Just in case, find their homepage, if it exists, where you should have an opportunity to check if your IMEI is indeed in blacklist.

[Q] android 4.4 dual sim contacts

Hello,
I have checked similar topics but did not find correct answers for me.
I would like advice what are my options if I want to save contacts on SIM cards by default. I'm not google fan, so please do not advice me to use that.
I have rooted Gigabyte Gsmart GX 2 with Xposed framework, removed all Google bloatware from my device (including play store and gmail).
Now I have only option to save contacts to phone only. Even when I do that I can't export them to sim cards, tried apps like SIM manager etc. but those apps just don't see my contact in phone.
I would like to save business contacts on sim card I got from my employer and easily return them with the SIM in case i quit.
And my personal contacts on my own SIM card.
Is there any app for that? Most apps are not for dual sim which is problem for me. Best solution would be dual sim dialer with possibility to save contacts directly to SIM cards. I would even pay for such an app
My old phone Prestigio 4055 with Xperia ROM from 4PDA with android 4.1 has no problem with this. Could I somehow remake android 4.1 apps to work on 4.4 ?
Also another thing which 4.4 lacks is security when connecting device to PC, it simply connects but my 4.1 device gives me 4 options how I want to connect it, until I choose one, my pc can't access it.
And I'm also looking for list of 4.4 system apps safe to remove, especially those cloud offering bloatware.
What other options do I have? Is it possible to downgrade to 4.1 android? I contacted support and they informed me, they are not planning to make lolipop for this phone. I know that in lolipop you can save those damn contacts on sim Is it possible to cook my own ROM that would meet these criteria? How difficult it would be?
Thanks in advance for positive answers

That, that you described is what I did and result is a faulty rooting access. I dont know what else to do. Anybody? Ideas please??
Rooted but faulty.
Hello again.
In my desperation to get my phone properly rooted Im going to start over with my case. I'll explain it out in detail:
After reading many many threads about rooting my fierce2. I decided to give a chance to the longer method of rooting ( kingroot4.4, antutu, cpu benchmarck, geek benchmark, speedtest). After a few trays I got success!!!!!!!!!! (I tried kingroot and antutu only but after several trays I gave up). I was sooooo happy I got kingroot confirmation of root access!!!!!!!:laugh::silly::silly:.
But my happiness whent down the toilet as soon as I check with rootcheker . It said tha the root access wasnt right?????.
I'm very frustrated and annoyed. I cant use supersu or any other root tool to remove apps....
I tried unroot but wont work and everytime I install kingroot to root the phone again I cant because kingroot detects my phone as rooted but is not really....
Help please plase please. Here are the snapshots

fiRST see your aap drawer if u find a super user icon there that means your phone is rooted..after finding it still you think that it is not rooted then first unroot it then download framaroot and install it..open and select super user then click boromir then restart your phone then check with root checker

try some apps like titanium backup which need root access if are able to uninstall pre installed apps with the help of titanium back up then it is sure that your phone is rooted maybe root checkers are not able to detect or still u face a problem open that super user app go to its setting pannel scrool down you will find a option of full unroot use that to unroot it and then again try to root your phone
hmm
I have found it is not android 4.4.2 as u guys here claim that makes you unable to save contacts to sim card anymore...
Prestigio MultiPhone 5455 DUO is also running android 4.4.2 and there are 4 options when i click save new contact> sim1, sim2, phone, google account
I downloaded 5455 rom and my question is, which file i must transfer to my phone to have these options available in dumb GSmart GX2 ?
huh
nobody knows? what criteria must i meet? I get com.android.phone error when i transfer some files like telephony provider, dialer etc..
why is that? is it even possible to transfer android system files and apps between 2 phones with same android version but different manufacter?

Framaroot doesn't work on every device. Stop posting the method that you used for your device everywhere. Don't make posts for devices that you don't have unless you have links or evidence to backup what you are posting.
