I've tryed everything to try and root my Samsung Galaxy Tablet 10.1 4G(Verizon) SCH-I905. I've used Bin4ry, tryed to flash cwm via odin(says it successfully flashes, then i try to flash superuser, the recovery still says android.) I've searched and tryed everything to no avail. Can anyone point me to some good directions on how to root this dang device.
Specs:
Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 16GB
SCH-I905
Current Android Version: 4.0.4
Anything else just ask.
Hi,
Please give me a few minutes to see what I can come up with as I don't find that device on XDA.
Back soon with my findings- check Post #4.
I'm pretty sure this is the guide that can help. It even claims to be super easy.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1657758
People report success in the thread. But as hinted above, may want to ask in this thread if its for sure for your model.. Before flashing anything.
Good luck!
Edit: I looked through the thread a bit....apparently its outdated. Also, there's posts claiming there's no root method for 4.0.4 for the i905. Perhaps my colleague above will have better luck.

Edit: Here is a post on XDA that will hopefully guide you to success in rooting your SCH I905.
And a bit more info from Google.
Also be cautious as Verizon models have been known to be difficult or even not possible to root.
As always, read carefully before proceeding and remember to make a backup first.
Update: Tryed using this meathod: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1837605
Official ClockworkMod 6.0.1.2 Recovery:
When i try t flash it says
"Write data size is too big[8|SOS]! [Data:5685248(B) -> Part: 2560/2560(2kb)]
Tegra_Nand_Write: Error to DownloadPartition_odin![0xffffffff]"
The problem I see here is most the guides and posts about that device are quite old. Links end up dead after so long and the files are hard to find.
Its not part of XDA, so use at own risk , but the link "Google" that Pony Express posted may be your best bet.
Hopefully it works out. ?

I just keep getting the same crap "Signature verification failed" I still have the "Android system recovery <3e>" I've tryed to get CWM recovery flashed but get the error i posted in the last reply i posted.
I can only find out dated info here on XDA. And dead links.
Did you try the Google link above?
Also i've tryed that google one 5 times to no avail says everything goes smooth but then i try root checker or look for SU, nope lol. I mean i've never rooted a tablet before but many phones like Droid X, Droid X2, Rzr Maxx, Rzr Maxx HD. So i mean i know the gist of what should happen yet nothing.
Well, honestly, I could post a dozen links to other websites here....but I don't know what works and what doesn't out there.
My advice at this point. Google "root sch-i905 2014". Look for things posted from this year. I've seen a lot, but can't read them all, or try them obviously. Lol
Hopefully you find what you need. Seems there's others as frustrated as you with the same device. That's what happens when devices age.
Again, good luck!

It has been known to happen that once root has been achieved on a device, a manufacturer or carrier will come back and provide an update that causes the root exploit not to work. I have had that personal experience while helping a friend root a device a few months ago.
In summary - your process appears to be sound - unless however there is a device specific recovery ( the one above is for a galaxy s 3 ) that is released after the last carrier/manufacturer update it is likely not to work.
Well thanks for the help anyways I guess I'm SOL, sucks because I don't even like this POS figured I'd like it more rooted....

I have rooted my n8013, but every time I try to install a rom it "freezes". I purchased ROM Manager, but whenever I check the download roms there is on a small section with nightlies...I thought for $6 I would get a list of all available roms...was I wrong?
I did download Android Revolution 9.0 and CM 10.2, I added them to my tablet, I disconnected the tablet from the PC. I then booted to recovery with ROM Manager. I managed to get Android Revolution to the point of installing google apps, but it froze, I couldn't click anything or do anything. I tried to redownload and reinstall it on the tablet but it just freezes at random points in the installation.
I have tried to install CM 10.2...twice and both times it just sits at CyanogenMod loop (Blue circle with 2 spinning "wheels" going in opposite directions). I am not sure what I am doing wrong, but this is the hardest time I have ever had rooting & installing a rom. I am no pro and I don't understand all of the lingo, could someone please either help me, or point me to a step by step guide?
Thanks!

I followed this guide: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nIYiXzcW7xs
I then followed this guide here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2102677 for the recovery.
Now I have actually managed to get CM 10.2 to work, but I cannot figure out the Gapps. I downloaded them to my pc and tried to put them on the tablet but there is no program that can open them (or so the tablet says). I could go poking around, but I don't want to break anything so I figured I would just wait for a response.
I was actually debating on doing a complete wipe and starting back at square 1. Then following this guide: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EZKGWN-TQE0 But that just seems like to much work, I have a feeling I am very close to being done and I and want to start all over.
I wanted to get Revolution to work but it wants to fight with me so whatever.

Did you read the special notes in the Revolution HD rom site http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2119547 In the you need section it says that you need the Custom recovery by "High On Android" Then there is a section on the same page that tells you how to flash. You need to follow the directions exactly.
Don't know if you know this but the directions on the 1st video put the CWM recovery on the tablet and then when you did the 2nd video you over wrote that CWM recovery that Revolution HD is compatible with and the one you installed is not recommended by Revolution HD.
I had Revolution HD on when I was rooted and I liked it....... If it were me...... I would return to factory rom........ then follow the exact directions in the first video........
Then follow the directions on the Revolution HD site link I sent you.
Curious......... why are you rooting? What do you want that factory rom does not have?

The reason I want to root is because..well..I want to learn. I cannot learn just by reading, I have to do hands on..I have to actually try it before I can learn it. I am so fascinated by tablets and android that I could sit here tinker and poking around for hours. Another reason I want to root is because I have read that rooting can improve battery life, and that samsungs touch wiz is "buggy". I have noticed that at times things don't seem to work as they should be (buggy, glitchy, choppy).
I was unaware that I flashed over cwm. How do I return it to factory rom and start all over?
Thanks for the help btw, I really appreciate it.

I followed his guide on how to unroot. I made it to step 9 before it said that it had failed. Once I tried to reboot the tablet it said
"Firmware upgrade encountered an issues. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again."
I downloaded Kies but it wouldn't connect to the tablet.

Big big problem with that is you are far more likely to end up with a brick .
As the posts shows you are not hands on as you have failed to read the instructions and have to resort to asking users to tell you what those instructions you failed to read are .
Rooting cannot improve battery life .

What firmware number did you download and what country do you reside.
Are you using an official Samsung data charging cable and did you purchase the tablet new?
Are you using a usb extension cable?
Can you get into recovery or download mode?
When you plug the tablet into your computer is it recognized?

First, from my research that was just a Soft Brick..so not a big big problem.
Second hands on means you learn as you go..I am learning as I go, trial and error. Some people learn better by reading, some people learn better by doing. I am the one who learns better by doing. I have rooted a few other tablets with zero issues. I managed to figure out what was wrong BY MY SELF....trial and error. So your statement about me having to resort to asking users to tell me what those instructions are, I followed the instructions on how to unroot...they are what caused me to soft brick.
According to Mike1986 at this link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2119547
In the ROM Details, it says Excellent Battery Life.
According to http://www.droidviews.com/install-android-revolution-hd-rom-on-omega-rom-on-galaxy-note-10-1-gt-n8000n8010n8013/
As for the battery life, it is far better that what you get with stock ROM on your Note 10.1.

I am not sure if the other poster just knew everything about tablets without having problems or not. But I know that I have had no issues except this time..no biggie just learning is all (imo).

There is a bad link in the printed directions but you should always go directly to samfirmware for the latest firmware updates.
I hope you know that you nearly bricked your device, it is a must to read and follow directions that are posted exactly.
I hope you know that CM 10.2 will take away S-Pen function.
Max has ROM reviews on his site for most of the popular ones.
As your just starting I would stick with videos that show you how to install roms for your specific device. And if you choose to root again after you do so the next step would be to do a full backup in CWM recovery to a microsd card so if you run into problems you can always restore back to that point.
Good luck

I was actually looking at some of those roms, and I checked through Max's videos, he did reviews of them but doesn't show how to install them. This is where I got confused. I would love to find a tutorial that goes step by step through it. I also did have CM 10.2 on the tablet, I was still able to use the pen. Which is all I really want, I bought the note 10.1 for the specs (2gb of ram). As for the pen, I pretty much just use it for drawing and for selecting small fonts and links.
The 2nd video I posted seems very easy, I just don't know if I need to follow Max's root first, or if I can just follow the 2nd video from start to finish. I am thinking that I need to root again, and then follow the 2nd video.
Do you have a rom that you recommend? and a video tutorial that I should follow?

You are on your own....... I'm not making any recommendations. I have rooted and unrooted many times but I keep going back to stock and that is were I'm staying. lately I have seen a bunch of post like yours with rooting problem and bricking or soft bricking.
If you still want to install a custom ROM your better off going to each roms page under Galaxy Note 10.1 Android Development and read up on them.

I have been a long time lurker of XDA. Usually with some diligent searching and several hours of reading threads to understand, I can figure out what I need to do. I spent five hours yesterday and feel I'm no closer to a solution than I was when I started. So I think I need some help dissecting my problem so I can focus my searches better.
My wife and I both have a Samsung S3. It is my standard practice to throw on my own Recovery, snag the earliest possible nandroid backup, and then root. I like to run CM but my wife prefers the stock ROM. With my wife's S3 when a new OTA update is available and nagging her I would roll back to the backup that would take the OTA update. I haven't figure out why some do and some don't. Once fully updated I snap another backup and on she rolls.
Now my problem and you've probably already figured it out. I am getting a Status 7 on just about anything I do. I tried tons of stuff and all of it resulted in a Status 7. This is the first time that I have to ask for Android help because I don't understand the moving parts of the problem I'm having. Any pointers would really help.
I would like to list everything I tried, but I'm not sure I would paint an accurate picture since I was furiously searching and trying things in any fleeting direction yesterday for over 5 hours. I can list some bullet points, but don't assume any of them are fully explored, or done in proper order.
I read about knox'd firmware and ROMs. I'm not certain if that's related to my problem space.
I read something about RUU, but I seemed to have lost the bead on that one.
I could comment out the assert that is failing, but that is a huge risk that I'm not sure I want to take unless I can get out of it.
I upgraded to latest CWM and the status 7 still happens.
I have done factory resets and the status 7 happens.
I'm not exactly clear on what I did, but I recall wondering what had changed to cause the status 7 because I couldn't do updates from old backups that I used to be able to do updates from. It's like something changed on the phone.
If someone has any ideas, could you point me in the right direction?
Hi there!!
There seems to be many threads about status 7 errors, for the s3 as well as other devices. Its a common error.
If you search on status 7 and s3 you will find a lot.
But I found a couple very detailed guides.
This one is non device specific....
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2302599
This is about the S3's boot loader....causing status 7 errors. Perhaps you are not on the right boot loader for what you're trying to do?

And this is how to return to stock, which is an option if nothing else works. Then you can start fresh....

I'm not sure which S3 version you have, so be sure you use files made for your version if its not one of the models mentioned in the above guide.

You could try twrp.... Just be sure whatever recovery you use, that it is definitely for your model. Or that can give you status 7 errors too.

Hello there.
I have been trying to learn and use custom ROMs on my LG G2 for a couple of weeks now, so far I haven't been doing too well. Luckily, smarter people than I on this forum have always brought me back from the brink of me causing a nuclear meltdown on my phone! Especially:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2451696
Today, when I received an automatic update to SuperSU, a notification appeared in my notification shade informing me that my "SU Binaries Needed to be Updated!". I tapped on it, wanting to know more about these binaries that apparently required an update. This opened up the SuperSU app on my phone with a pop-up that also said the the SU binaries needed to be updated; I tapped continue. Another pop-up appeared telling me that if I had TWRP the binaries could possibly be updated through it (A "normal" option was also shown). My eager and naive mind chose to update via TWRP. My eagerness grew as my LG G2 booted into TWRP and seemed to install something. During this process, the phone rebooted again and my phone seemed to be just fine for ~1 minute.
Mission Accomplished!
Nope. To my utter horror (Though it was kind of expected) the phone force rebooted into TWRP again and attempts at rebooting to system have been met with being booted right back into TWRP. A factory reset had no effect as well. Following pattern, I made my way back to XDA and sniffed around for a while trying to find a thread where people had experienced something similar to myself. Unfortunately (or rather fortunately ), no one had. Then, I thought back to the post I posted above. FOTA is "firmware over the air" doesn't it? Could the command listed in the above post get me back to stock? Like I said before I'm a huge noob with a final goal of actually being able to contribute to XDA and others in the future. The key phrase being "I am a huge noob".
Minimal Information About The Phone (I am so sorry)
Android 4.4.2 Stock (Rooted)
Rooted With TowelRoot as I wanted to see if it actually worked
Installed TWRP with AutoRec (I'll link it below)
SuperSU as Root Manager (Installed from Play Store)
Verizon Model (VS980)
My Internal Storage was deleted about a week ago and I unfortunately did not make an NAndroid backup before I made this foray into unknown territory, I am terrible.

Thank you so much for reading all of that, if you did! If you have any suggestions/links to any good tutorials for LG G2 ROMs they would be greatly appreciated! I have had some trouble with CM 11 in the past, but I think that was due to my own personal failings.
Hi,
It's great that you are trying to learn and doing your homework! That's what XDA is all about. ?

Hey there!
Sorry for not responding to you for so long! I ended up using the FOTA command from the link I posted above and it worked like a charm! (Though it did once again delete my data ) Currently reinstalling everything and making an nandroid backup. Thank you for providing me with the help forums as well, they are quite good at what they do! Happy Sunday! Cheers!
Thank you. Thread closed.
Thought I would be brave and root my note and then upgrade to android 4.4. So much for easy!
The root worked and when I tried to run the cm-11-20141031-UNOFFICIAL-n8013 zip file it aborted saying that it was for devices including GT-N8013 which is what I have. The zip program is telling me that my device is p4noterf. Also says it has a status 7error.
Saw one thread that started to talk about, but didn't go far. Talking about Philz.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Not bricked yet but close enough to make me give up for now.

Thought I would be brave and root my note and then upgrade to android 4.4. So much for easy!
The root worked and when I tried to run the cm-11-20141031-UNOFFICIAL-n8013 zip file it aborted saying that it was for devices including GT-N8013 which is what I have. The zip program is telling me that my device is p4noterf. Also says it has a status 7error.
Saw one thread that started to talk about, but didn't go far. Talking about Philz.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Not bricked yet but close enough to make me give up for now.

Hi... I'm having the same issue but trying to install CM12... have you been able to get to a solution??
Same problem here.
My device is p4notewifiww, but CWM keeps telling me that it's p4noterf.
I'm googling it, but I can't find anything.
Hello folks,
i am new here, i have a problem with one of my friends mobile Samsung Galaxy S III I9300 Android v4.0.4 (Ice Cream Sandwich), it so happened he dropped the mobile from his hand and from that moment, the device fails to load properly.
I tried to go to Recovery mode, by pressing Power key+DownVol key+Home key. The next screen was all fuzzy, it didn't show anything.
So i tried Power key+UpVol key(this time)+Home key, it showed a warning page, please see images to be more clear.
On continuing with the process, it went to Download mode.
I am little familiar with that process, since it is trying to update the device OS to a newer version of Android.
I did a little research and found out there was Android 4.4.4 Kit Kat available.
I can proceed to download that, but i want to know few things and i.e.,
The device is not Rooted.
CWR is not installed.
Whether it is safe to proceed with the update of Android Ice Cream Sandwich to Android Kit Kat.
I also found Galaxy S III can be updated to 4.3 (Jelly Bean), but i want your opinion which would be suitable for this device.
Thanks.
I do not want to brick my friends device, since i am getting paid to do this stuff. Hence i am requesting any kind of expert advice.
Thank you.
P.S: Any suggestion is welcommed and waiting for any reply impatiencly. Also if the moderator thinks this post must be in some other part of the forum, please do so. :fingers-crossed:
Hello again, i did a little research and found out this site, where it mentions in detail how to install ClockworkMod Recovery 6.0.4.7 on Galaxy S3 GT-I9300
http://trueandroid.com/install-clockworkmod-recovery-6-0-4-7-on-galaxy-s3-gt-i9300-how-to/
I did as mentioned in the tutorial and while opening the Odin, and checking the AP button, and selecting the non touch version of ClockworkMod Recovery 6.0.4.7 ; i am getting this error. Please see the snapshot.
It also say, PIT partition not found, does anyone know how to figure out this problem.
Or
Is it a hardware issue, do i need to change the motherboard or give it to technician to fix it.
First off: Have you tried posting it under the correct category on this forum? its under galaxy core... you have a galaxy S 3
Second, you can update if it stock... custom recoveries and roms do void warranty. That is, if the kitkat is for his phone it is no problem. upgrading wrong rom to your phone will mess with it yes. Boot loops and stuff.
Then again, if it droped I would rather have sent it in for repairs if it was still under the warranty .

I find it quite difficult to find my way in this forum, just newbie here.
But thank you for your concern. My friend has taken the mobile , he thinks its better to repair it by technician.
Enough of head-ache for a device that can't be repaired through updating, the mobile was trashed. Couldn't be salvaged through
updating.

I understand.
On top of the page there are 2 places you can enter stuff, one says "type to find device" and the other for searching all the forums. Writing i9300 - and clicking on the line - will get you the I 9300 forums
