Verizon Tab 7.7 - Galaxy Tab 7.7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

My buddy is giving me a free Verizon 4g Galaxy tab 7.7. I will not use on Verizon network since I can tether from my phone. I know the model is SCH-i815, can this be rooted just like the P6800? Are there any Jelly Bean roms that work with this version? I really want to run 4.4, don't care about touchwiz or not, but I will take anything other than ICS. As a background, I do have in my house a Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 (me and my 2.5 year old share), a Nexus 10 (bought for my 5 year old), I use a Galaxy S4 as my phone, and my wife has the S3. Both my Galaxy tab 2 and Nexus 10 are rooted and running Kit Kat. I will be using the 7.7 tab for me. Just want to know what I can do, its confusing learning what you can do on a new device, the S4 on Verizon is the worst. Thanks for any feedback.

Please ask a Mod to move this thread to Q&A. These type of threads are questions and don't belong here.
If you had posted in Q&A, you would have seen the sticky about i815 root?
By searching Development, you will also find what you're looking for with CM ROMs.
Best if luck.

Did anyone get the Skyrocket free with the purchase of the Galaxy Tab 8.9 LTE?

The galaxy tab 8.9 LTE is very different from it's brothers, the 3G/Wifi 8.9 and the 10.1. It is more similar to the skyrocket. Da_G, a dev here, has worked out the root for the device and he doesn't even have one. Reason I am asking is because we need some more developers over there who actually own the device, and it seems like the logical transition would be from skyrocket development.
Thanks.

Honestly, I was planning on buying the Galaxy Tab 8.9 LTE, and getting the OG SGS II, since I already have the Skyrocket.
How is the tab? Is it good?
I considered it for a while, but I already have a tablet and all the people who I could have given the tablet to I knew wouldn't use it, and to me it didn't make sense to spend more money to get what I really wanted for free. Overall though it sounded like a good deal.
I did get tablet with my skyrocket and give as gift on christmas to one of my nephew since i have two iPads.
is that a special offer from ATT?
nevermind. Saw it on ATT's site.
Yes it is .....
tablet is nice, better than the old galaxy 8.9 and 10.1 with the 1.5 ghz chip and lte capabilities.
I got two for free...WITHOUT buying a tablet
/bragging
I was attempting to upgrade our phones to refurbished galaxy s2's that were on sale for $9.99 via ATT premier. The guy was nice enough to offer me a new one for the same price (week of christmas and I had already had a lot of trouble with ATT). I pushed my luck a little and asked if I could get "the other variant" of the S2 - the skyrocket. He said sure.
I wonder how hard it would be to modify a 727 rom to work on the 957...

[Q] Exchange old phone with newer model?

hello everybody!
i have a question..
firstly, you must know that i am owner of a Samsung Galaxy Note N7000. I bought it two months ago. now, Samsung has released the new Galaxy Note 2.. And here is my question, Can i exchange my Galaxy Note and some money for a Galaxy Note 2? I googled it and i didnt't found anything, but, on some galaxy note 2 reviews, i see some comments like "I cant wait note 2 go on market, so i exchange my galaxy note n7000 with it!
is that possible? thanks for all and really sorry for my bad english!
question : do you really need a note 2? what this new phone can do for you differently than the old?
phone: sgs2 GT-I9100
kernel : dorimanx 5.79beta
main rom: rr 2.7
second rom: cm 9.1
baseband: I9100XXLQ6
Specs are slightly better but I wouldn't get the note 2 right away, unless it had way better specs.
sent from my captivate glide running ICS (NardROM 0.4 Rooted)
i want the note 2 for quad core and 2gb ram which are far more better than galaxy note 1..i just wanna know if i can exchange mine note for the new !
bump. none has the answer to my question?
Dude why don't you go back to the store and ask it there if you're lucky they'll exchange it but i really think they won't
don't forget to hit the thanks button:d

The problem is that their English is worse than yours. "I cant wait note 2 go on market, so i exchange my galaxy note n7000 with it!" is actually "I cant wait note 2 go on market, so i can sell my galaxy note n7000 and buy the Note 2!"
As a former cellphone store owner, I can tell you that unless you were a very good customer (maybe you'd been upgrading phones with me for 10 years), I wouldn't exchange a phone with you. And if I did you wouldn't like how little I'd give you for yours, even if it's only 2 months old. It's used and I have to sell it as used, so it's not worth very much to me.
Selling it privately will get you a lot more money. (A dealer might give you US$50 for it, and I'd give you that much too. Of course a dealer might tell you he's giving you more for it, but then charge you full list price - or even more - for the Note 2.)

[Q] AT&T Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 - No JB update, want to root and update/flash

Am I in the right spot? I could not find a forum for the Tab 2, even though they're very similar.
Are there potential LTE/AT&T connectivity issues with flashing a new ROM on this tablet?
I have an AT&T S4 and they were practically giving away the Tab 2 so I figured why not, but AT&T is the only provider yet to update to even 4.1.2, so I need to do something. But I'm afraid of losing my LTE plan with a new ROM and have no experience rooting my devices. My S4 is still stock TouchWiz.
Sorry if I'm in the wrong spot - if I am in the right spot, anybody wanna shoot the **** with me about what I can do with this thing?
There is a tab 2 forum. Just Google search Samsung galaxy tab 2 10.1 xda and you will find it.

What Tablet?

So, a month ago, I decided to change from apple to android, I converted from an iPhone 5 to a galaxy s4 i9505, now I'd like to do the same with my iPad. I have the ipad 3 64gb + 3G.
I'm considering the galaxy tab s3, but need the 3G connection, and the galaxy tab has had bad reviews,
What would you recommend?
Btw needs to be android.
Thanks in advance.
there are alot of good reviews out there, might want to consider nexus 4

yes !
I certainly hope that now that 4.4 supports Ir blasters we will see custom ROMs that support it as well. Idc of Samsung doesn't update to 4.4 but I sure hope the community does

Maybe next year when android 5 updates come to the galaxy s5 comes out we will see a 4.4 kitkat on our tablet. Priority will always be new phones and tablets. But im pretty sure we will get it some day. Also I think there is a problem with incompatibility from snote from note 3..a lot of complains will happen if the note 10.1 upgrade with it and people cang open files
Which model are you guys talking about?
I have a GN GT-N8013 ( 64G GNote 10.1 original ) and am still waiting for Samsung to come out with 4.3.
Am happy with the basic note but would really love multiple user support.
It's not likely the 8013 will see anything beyond 4.3.

Call it insider knowledge.
Note 2 and SGS3 having similar internals are supposed to get upto Android 4.4 Kitkat..so why not?
But having said that both these phones have only just started getting 4.3 few days back in some regions, so who knows Kit Kat can take couple of years to come to Note N8000, when Google release android 5
Its really a shame on Samsung, they should only release a limited number of devices each year for which they can release timely updates..
As it sits right now, we are 3 OS versions back. We will get an update in the (near?) future. Will we get 4.4? Probably. Will it be before the end of 2014? Right now it seems unlikely.
I'm living in the Netherlands and my Galaxy Note 10.1 N8010 runs on Android 4.1.2. (The latest available version in the Netherlands)
When will the N8010 get android 4.2 or higher.

Wappiesoft, That was the exact same question as I asked^^
I think it will come out late 2013 or early 2014.

I dont think samsung is considering an update for the tablet. If it was the case we would have seen at least a couple test roms.
But i still didnt give up on wishful thinking.
Anyways if this tablet dont see any updates, I will never buy a samsung again unless it is nexus.

They've already said it will get 4.3 and 4.4, we'll get 4.3 sometime before the end of the year. 4.4 would be like before summer lol.

i wont fall into the same trap again. thats the reason holding me back from buying the note 2014.
Sorry guys if this is going a *little* bit off-topic (I'm going to talk about Android 4.3, rather than 4.4, but hey, still about an update for our awesome yet forgotten 10.1....)
It's a quote from a reply on other thread, by me.
I recently spoke to a Samsung rep (Samsung's website live chat) and with a Samsung rep (in person). Both said:
"it will be updated, at least to Android 4.3, but we cannot tell you when".
So I'm pretty sure we are getting 4.3 at some point. Heck, if the Note 2 and S III got it, it's only reasonable that our Note 10.1 gets it. It was the flagship tablet of its (short) time, such as the Note 2 and S III being flagships/high-end. Everyone's been saying that Samsung won't update it to force us go for the Note 10.1 2014 edition, so why did the Note 2 and Galaxy S III get the update (ok, ok, Galaxy Gear blabla)? Wouldn't they force you to go for a Note 3 and Galaxy S IV? You get my point.
So, be prepared to wait (wait... wait... wai...), and official news about the updates *cough kitkat* are coming.
My guess is: Android 4.3 and no Android 4.4, unfortunately but thankfully.

Any updates on this? I read a rumour about the upcoming KitKat update. Is it true?
