Hello,
I bought a Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 P5100 (3g version), but my carrier installed its own ROM, removed the Phone app and unrooted the device,
Now I want to install back the stock ROM, but I will need to root it first right? but the guides showing how to root are doing it only with stock ROM, so I am afraid to try and root the device on my carrier's non-stock ROM. Is there a guide to root a non-stock device? or it's the same method as rooting stock device?
Is there a link to a guide on how to return to the stock ROM from unrooted non-stock ROM?
Thanks
Any idea? will the method for rooting stock Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 3g be the same as rooting non-stock unrooted Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 3g?
what custom rom are you using?
If your wireless carrier installed their own ROM because you have a data package then that is your official ROM...
do you have jelly bean installed?
Look into cf-autoroot for rooting your tablet, once its rooted you can easily revert back to any/stock ROM you want
Also there many stock ROMs that come pre rooted so that may be something you may want to look into...
We need more info though, what custom ROM do you have? What exact model galaxy tab do you have? How did you install this custom ROM? What version android are you running? Have you ever used Odin/kies?
That info would help us and you greatly...

I have 4.0.4 Android version, I did not install this custom ROM, it came preinstalled by carrier, it is not rooted (checked with "Root Checker"),I have used Kies but not Odin but I can learn I guess if there are instructions.
Your method (cf autoroot) and this one I found:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1657056
say that it is going to work on stock ROM, but I do not have stock ROM, I have my carrier's ROM, that's why I am afraid to use it, but maybe you know whether I can use any of these method with my ROM?
okay...
Here is what I recommend...
First you are using ice cream sand which, the new android official going around Samsung is jelly bean android 4.1
You have to ask yourself do you want to upgrade?
If you do want to upgrade to JB dont root your tablet as you will not be able to officially update to JB.
If you want to see if an update is available look in your notifications or go into settings -> about tablet -> and hit software update
I think that is how I am using a custom ROM
If you have an update firmware to download I would do it...
Then root your tablet.
If you upgrade to android 4.1 then use the cf-autoroot exploit
If you want to root your tablet as is with android 4.0.4 then follow this link...

If that link list your model then you are all good since you do have an official ROM just a different model tablet
Oh...if you root your tablet with android 4.0.4 you can still upgrade to android jelly bean but you will have to use a custom ROM you will not be able to install an official firmware update.
So good luck...and look on YouTube for help on rooting your tablet there are some really great videos out there.
There is no jelly bean update available for my galaxy tab 2 , I think my carrier blocked the update.
the tutorial you gave me on how to root the tab is for 4.0.3 and my is 4.0.4. Also, all of these guides say that it's working on stock ROM, do you think it still going to work on my carrier's non-stock rom (if I will find a guide that can root 4.0.4 and not just 4.0.3)?
Hey all,
I'm trying to find the stock ROM for an S3 mini on Tesco mobile. A colleague has recently had his formware updated OTA and there is a new 'feature' that he doesn't like. I'm not going down the root and custom ROM route with him, I want to keep it simple.
So I'm after 4.1.1 for the S3 mini on Tesco mobile.
I had flashed stock rom for my region(Pakistan)
from Sam Mobile to unroot my phone.It has
some issues it is slightly different from previous
firmware.I am running lollipop 5.1.1 with build no
LMY47X.G920FXXU3QOLO.
I also tried to install stock firmware via smart
switch by performing emergency software
recovery but this does not work.
I want to know that can I flash Firmware given
for UK as UK has received official samsung
marshmallow rom for galaxy s6?

Hello,
We don't recommend flashing a different region firmware into another one, it may cause issues and instability.

Long story. I have a Straighttalk Galaxy S6 (5.0.2) odexed rom.
Sadly, Straightalk doesn't have firmware updates for my phone.
I have searched EVERYWHERE on google for a custom rom that matches the model SM-S906L but no luck. The reason why I need a custom rom is so I can use Xposed.
According to the Internet, Xposed currently does not support 5.0.2 stock (odexed roms), TouchWiz roms. So thats why I was wanting a DEODEXED rom that will support my phone.
If any on knows what custom roms that work on the model SM-S906L It would be greatly appreciated if you gave me some info.
Any help would be appreciated!
:good:

Hey guys, so i have a samsung s6 g920s (south korean) version of the phone. Anyway i'm reverting back to stock firmware after going to a custom rom and the stock firmware has heaps of all of these korean apps etc. Is there any firmware i can flash which is full english/doesn't have the korean stuff installed. Is there anyway i can flash an Australian firmware onto it?
