I have been reading the forums for days, and I'm unclear. I've seen Motochopper, CF-Auto-Root via Odin, and also this Casual app:

...Which method should I use for a new S4 coming this week?
I intend to use CyanogenMod. Can someone please list which method and what are the steps in order, so that I don't brick my new phone?
Is there a better ROM than CM? Are there still camera/BT issues?
Is there a camera app I should download? Link?
Is there a gapps package I should download? Link?
I rooted my S2 18months ago and have forgotten how to do it! So sorry.
Please help!
Thank you.

I am brand new to Android. I just bought a Galaxy Note Tablet 10.1 but it's the GT-N8010 model. I would prefer to have the US version GT-N8013 because it seems that there are a few apps / functions are not available in N8010 model.
I've seen several threads about flashing for phones but not for the Note Tablet 10.1. And I can't find anything about how to actually get started from the very beginning. I've always had Apple products so even the terms flashing and rooting are new to me. I need bare bones basic instructions on how to root my note tablet. I bought the ODIN app and it won't let me use it until I rooted and that I needed to be a superuser? I'm so confused... /:
Can someone please help me? What apps do I need and what's the actual process? I appreciate any help anyone could give me.
Thanks!

I used this thread that's sticked in the note Q&A to root my tablet. I actually did it yesterday after getting the german jb 4.1.2. I wanted to use the multiwindow app, so I had to root. I am new to this as well, but that thread got me through the process flawlessly. =) I used the pc version of Odin to do mine though.

Hi All,
I have the US Cellular Galaxy Note 10.1 (SCH-i925u) and it is currently running CM10.2 nightlies. I acquired the tablet with this already on the device and would like to return it to stock JB as I want to be able to use some of the Samsung apps for work productivity. I have searched the net and can't find a stock rom to re-flash on this device. Can someone please point me in the right direction?
Any help is greatly appreciated!

Thanks. I tried both of the sites you mentioned, but was unable to locate anything for the Galaxy note version I have (SCH-i925u).
I have tried contacting Samsung as well, but have received no response.
If anyone can help, it would be greatly appreciated. If not, I guess I will have to sell this device because I can't use it for what I need it for.
Official Firmware
Sammobile finally has the official firmware. Flash via Kies if you can.... didn't work for me, so I had to use Odin.

Fairly newbie here. Apologies if this has been covered already. I have a Verizon Galaxy S4, SCH-I545, 4.4.2. I cannot find a way to root this phone. Everything I have found applies to an earlier version. Can some one please direct me to the right location(if there is one).
Thanks
Rob

Hello. I'm new here. I just updated my Samsung Note 2 SGH-I317M with Bell Canada. I now have Android 4.4.2
I don't need instructions on how to root/unlock. I've done it in the past using a program called Odin.
All i need to know is where do i download the correct rom for my phone?
I've looked on this website but i can't seem to find the rom section. Is there a different website that everyone gets their roms?
Please help me.

Most good brand phone roms are here on xda-developers. but if you have chinese phone look them on needrom.com. also there are plenty of roms on 4pda.ru forum (if you know russian).
I don't understand russian or chinese and sam's mobile only has stock roms.
I ended up finding one made by someone called chainfire
Good thing we have smart people who do this, I really hate how cellphone companies install so many junk apps.
It works good. Anyways, Thanks for the replies.
Hey guys I know that this question has been asked many times and i know that there are many tutorial that show you how to return your verizon galaxy s3 back to stock rom.
My verizon S3 is running 4.3 and it has the locked bootloader but i want to be able to flash the kitkat update using Odin however every tutorial i look at and every link i follow is not working when i try and download the stock firmware.
Can someone here help point me into the right direction and possibly provide me with a link to the official samsung (verizon) firmware for model SCH-i535. If you can provide a good tutorial that would be great as well!
Thank you so much for your assistance and time...

Have you tried just taking the OTA update? As long as your not rooted and didn't make any changes internally you should be able to take the OTA

Alright. Here's the thread, be advised the bootloader will be even more locked down. With TW 4.3 there is more options for roms. With the 4.4 update your stuck with 3 options
