I would put this in one a specific tablet category but its a question for all of them. Is there a way to completely disable the softkeys on a tablet? My kiddo keeps hitting them while playing a game so figured it would be easier to just disable them for him. So anyway to do it? have a samsung 10.1 an asus prime and a nabi 2 so would like to mainly on the nabi 2 but just in case he likes to use the other 2 love to find out how then to.
q-note tablet
A month ago I received a gift from the Turkish its a tablet. It is a model Q - note, qn-7000x notes. I was wondering if anyone can help me with rooting. It is ics 4.0.3, 3.0.8 karnel. I'm also interested if it can be unlocked bootloader.
thanks

You need to either Decompile the framework-res and edit it or else try a custom Rom. Decompiling is real pain... So I'd say try a custom Rom.
Hit thanks if I helped you....

You need to select Disable Nav Bar
To explain further, a custom ROM will enable you to toggle the expanded desktop feature through the power menu. This will allow you to disable the soft keys at will and bring them back whenever you choose.

I have also got one in my hands. If somebody could tell a general method with adb / fastboot, and which general recovery.img could be used, that would be great.
As far as I understood when trying/rooting other devices, We should:
0) Unlock bootloader (if locked) and copy SuperSu/BusyBox
1) Flash/boot recovery.img - TWRP or CWM (which one?) - * could be skipped maybe if only SuperSu and busybox are intended to be installed
adb reboot-bootloader
fastboot boot recovery.img
// replace flash for boot if intending to install
2) Nandroid Backup * - optional but highly recommended
3) Flash SuperSu and BusyBox from recovery,
4) Reboot and enjoy
Could anybody tell me if this worked?
--------update------
I tried and it didn't work. Probably tight locked bootloader - I had to factory reset after adb reboot command. Don't try this. Anybody else with suggestions?
Hello I have a GALAXY TAB 2 7.0 P3113 located in the US i like to root I been reading the forums they all seem to refer to the P3110 is this the same and do I use the same files as the p3110????/

some files are shared but the first one in the method I used is DIFFERENT (and is VERY important you use the right one) and no P3113 and P3110 are not the SAME (if they where exactly the same they wouldn't get different numbers)
use this method http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1788625 It what I did, only thing I did different was turn on USB debugging before powering down and used a newer build of CWM but it should work the same.
just to be clear, they use the same rooting zip files but require there unique build of CWM to be flashed with Odin so you can flash the rooting zips.
thanks very helpful

do a search for an app called Triangle Away, if you look in here the dev provides a free download but if you get it on the play store its a paid app. I haven't used it but thats what the forum says to use, you only to bother with it right before restoring to stock to take an OTA or when sending it in for repairs so it's not a big deal to worry about the counter.
I have a GT-N8013 Galaxy Note 10.1 Wireless 16G. It has been updated to Jelly Bean and has been updated to JB through the Keis OTA and has also just recently received one or two other updates, for what reason I am not sure.
I just recently rooted my Droid Razr Maxx and so far, I am happy that I did that. Now I want to go ahead and root my Note 10.1, however I am thoroughly confused as to where to start. Through all of my Google searches and message board searches, I keep coming across what seems to be older instructions for updating to JB, which I already have, or rooting based upon apps that were in existence as far back as say August, 2012.
Well now it is the end of March, and I do not know if I should be pursuing this using Odin (which version and where is the best place from which to download it) or is there an alternative or better approach using CM 10, etc. As I typed the question, the last similar threads that popped up were from November 30, 2012 and prior.
I wanted to avoid having to ask what to many of you seems to be such a basic question, but there just doesn't seem to be anything that I see out there that has a recommended method, post OTA JB.
Any advise will be greatly appreciated.

Some of the rooting methods have been defeated by Samsung with the last 2 updates.
Zedomax has a root method that does work will the most current firmware updates and his version of CWM that is installed with his root method seems to be more compatible with a few of the custom ROM's out there.
You should visit these links, they are very informative.

I carefully watched the video. After the CWM-SuperSU-v0.94.zip file was transferred onto my external drive, I ran odin3 v1.85exe and got to the green pass screen. After the reboot, I held down the power and volume up buttons until I saw the screen go off. When the logo came up, I let go of the power button and I kept holding onto the power up button, but I did not get to the ClockworkMod Recovery screen. Instead, I was brought to the Android Recovery Screen. I tried clicking on the file on the external SD from that screen, but all that I got were failures.
What other options are there?
Thank you, btw, for trying to assist me.

You did something wrong....... Did you do power and vol down at the same time first 1:40 of video after that run odin again.
It maybe better to download video in1080p to your computer so you can watch easier.

I used Odin, but found another root method called CF-Auto-Root-p4notewifi-p4notewifiue-gtn8013.zip. That worked like a charm. I then installed Root Checker to ensure that it worked, which it did.
So now I need to know what applications I need to install next as a follow-up.
I don't believe Auto root installs CWM. You may need to get Mobile ODIN, there's a free version on XDA or a paid version in the play store... I prefer to get the licenced version as there's more things you can do.
After installing this, you can then put the CWM file on your sd card or internal memory and flash it or just flash a custom rom...
Flashing a custom rom should put a custom recovery on too...
You might want to download and run an app called triangleaway to reset your flash counter too...
Moving right along

Thank you all for helping this root noobie. So I am running CWM Recovery v6.0.0.1.1 right now and doing a full backup to my external card. Seems like it should be done pretty soon. The blue widget in Andy's belly doesn't seem to move too much, if at all, however I do see that the progress bar is moving along and the file names keep changing below "backup up data...".
On top of Andy's head are three little guys with the words "High on Android" across his head. Oops, now I'm getting messages about skipping backup of apps and the fact that No sd-ext found. I don't understand that as there is most certainly an ext SD card.
Assuming that this completes OK, I will next proceed for CM10 and Triangleaway, unless there are other recommendations. Now back to the main Backup and Restore screen. Sorry for the blow by blow, but this is all new to me. Would my Titanium license provide the same benefits?
Here are a few good must haves for me.

I went ahead and downloaded Triangle Away. When I start in download mode, I receive the warning along with the big yellow triangle. After pressing volume up to continue, it goes into Odin Mode (in Red) and shows that the Custom Binary Download: Yes (5 counts), followed by Current Binary: Custom and then System Status: Custom. To get out of that screen, I have just held down the power button to turn off the device.
When I start up the Triangle Away app, the current status (under Flash Counter) says that Status cannot be determined, need to reboot into a special bootmode - tap "Reset flash counter".
In the Overview section on Play Store, it shows this warning:
On a number of devices, TriangleAway can work, but your firmware may not be supported directly. In that case, the app will tell you it needs to reboot into a special boot mode, which will be happen if you select "Reset flash counter". The device will reboot into a special mode which will allow you to review the current status and reset the binary and flash counter values (or abort and do nothing). On some devices this will actually trigger the counter to 1 if its 0 - so if you're "just checking", do that in download mode!
!!! THIS IS A DANGEROUS OPERATION AND COULD POTENTIALLY BRICK YOUR DEVICE. PROCEED AT YOUR OWN RISK. A USB JIG IS PREFERRED IF YOU HAVE A WORKING ONE !!! ( and by brick I mean brick - only a board replacement or a JTAG unit will be able to save you, don't mess with boot(loader) stuff unless you *really* mean it! )
Note#1: using Triangle Away may unmount your SD card. Reboot or manually remount it from Android settings.
Note#2: on new devices like the SGS3/SGNote2/SGNote10.1, status can only be reset on some firmwares - they must be stock firmwares!
I am not clear on how to interpret the warning, other than it makes me a bit nervous about bricking the device. I did a quick search of USB JIG for the SGN10 and I didn't see anything come up in the first few Google pages. One placed discussed making your own JIG which involves soldering. Not my thing!
So my question is has any other GT-N8013 user performed the step of selecting the reboot into the special mode, and if so, what happens after that? More importantly, did anyone experience having their SGN10/GT-N8013 bricked from this step?
Again, sorry if this is basic to most, but it is new to me, and we all have to start somewhere.
Thanks,

I think there's no USB jig to Note 10.1. I have used TriangleAway for my I9100 few times and N8010 (same that your device but european) once and both worked fine, no bricks. After you boot in "special mode", you'll be shown your counter, and it will confirm are you sure, you can cancel it there if you want and it does nothing to your device. Just check that your download mode's counters match TriangleAway's counters.

Thanks for giving me the courage to give it a shot, which I have now done. The counter in the special mode matched what Odin was showing, so I went ahead with it.
Now when I start up holding down the volume down button along with the power button, I am still getting the Triangle. However this time, below the Odin Mode (written in red), it shows Custom Binary Download: No
Current Binary: Samsung Official
System Status: Custom
I take it that because there is still root on the device, that the System Status will continue to show "Custom" and I will continue to have the triangle? I thought that the idea was to get everything to "look" official stock. Please let me know if I am missing anything else.
Thanks,

I Got All Things Official By Flashing A Stock Rom Through Mobile ODIN Onto The Note At This Point BUT You Will Need To Factory Reset. You Will Also Go Back To Stock Recovery. If You Want All These Things To Display Official Status.
I Haven't Got It Back To Not Show Official While Running A Custom Rom As Current Binary Changes To Custom When You Install Cwm Or System Status Does.

My understanding is that Allshare is useful only if you have other Samsung devices. So first, please advise if my understanding on that is correct. Assuming that this is the case, then I suppose that I do not need to immediately concern myself with getting all three settings to be "official", as I am in no immediate need (hopefully) to go back to full factory settings with official software since I do not own any other Samsung Android device. I am only beginning the root journey. I guess that it is good to have the bread crumbs to find my way back home at first, but I also want to be adventurous and try out some of these really interesting things which root is supposed to lead me to.
Is it fair to say then, that the counter thing shouldn't be a concern for now?

To zero that last you need to flash stock firmware with Odin, but thats not necessary except if you need to return your Note to warranty or something.

Someone else previously rooted my 5113 running Android 4.1.1 I had problems with the Tab 2 turning off during screen timeouts, so I reset it to factory specs. That solved the timeout problem Now I am trying to root it using Odin and CF Auto Root. However, when I attempt to get into the download mode, after getting past the triangle, I get the message: "Downloading do not turn off target" and can't root with Odin.
Can anyone tell me how to fix this and get in the download mode? Also, I have been looking at rooting from within the Tab and have run into framaroot and Kingoroot if I can't get into the download mode. Does anyone have any opinions on those programs, or can anyone suggest a rooting method to me that won't require me to use the download mode if I can't get the download mode working on my Tab.

Your Download mode is working fine. that's how normally a working download mode screen looks like. since your tab was previously rooted, it's still rooted even after a factory reset. how? rooting makes changes to your tab's system partition while factory reset will only clear the data partition and cache partition. so the changes are still there, but it might be possible that the superuser was installed on data partition and got wiped out. so root won't be accessible. if there is some other error in odin, let us know.

those softwares are fine as long as your only goal for the tab is to stay on stock rom, delete the bloatwares and able to customize your apps. but if your goal is to get higher android versions and try custom roms, then you should skip all this and head to flash custom recovery, preferably the twrp. if you need more info, please search the forums a little bit, I am sure you will find lot of informations here.

Billysam,
Thanks for your very detailed and useful reply. I think what happened with my inability to use download was that I needed to install USB drivers. I have a somewhat weird situation now. I installed a root checker and it said that I was not rooted. However, I was able to install SuperUser SU and Titanium Pro Backup and the Titanium seems to work in that I can uninstall whatever I wish.
So, is there any reason for me to use the Odin method and re-root my Tab? Also, I want a rom with KitKat and screen mirroring. Are there any Roms you would suggest? Thanks again for your help.

Screen mirroring works with omni and slim roms as far as I remember, all are pretty much stable right now, sorry I can't suggest any one, you will have to figure it out yourself, cause tab 2 series behave differently with each rom for each users. cause for some it works the way it should, for some same doesn't happen. still I don't know how much truth is in this, cause I am saying this by observing the forum at a particular time. so it should be all okay right now.
since you want to upgrade, first keep a backup then flash a custom recovery the twrp one from android-andi website
Read the thread from here, I explained here pretty much more details,

Billy Sam, I was going to donate to you, but PayPal said your Ebay email address was inadequate. Please leave a different address and I will make a donation.
Also, I have read several comments and apparently the twrp for the 5110 will work for my 5113. If that is incorrect, please let me know.
One other thing. My tab has started turning off again when I have a screen timeout. If a new rom doesn't help the problem, what is the effect of a factory reset. You said before that my 5113 was still rooted. If I factory reset, should I do something with the SuperSu file or any other files to make sure the Tab performs like a typically rooted Android. Thanks again for your help.

Screen mirroring works with omni and slim roms as far as I remember, all are pretty much stable right now, sorry I can't suggest any one, you will have to figure it out yourself, cause tab 2 series behave differently with each rom for each users. cause for some it works the way it should, for some same doesn't happen. still I don't know how much truth is in this, cause I am saying this by observing the forum at a particular time. so it should be all okay right now.

Also, tried to download TWRP Manager and TWRP Explorer (both requiring a root) and neither would install on my tablet even though I have SuperSu and Titanium Backup Pro.

Yes, the 5110 twrp works on the 5113. Go to android-andi's page for the latest versions.

Yes, that is correct, the twrp is same for p5113 and p5110.
if you have noticed the android-andi's recovery page
there are 2 type of these one is The new "Common TWRP" (which won't be able to flash Roms compiled before 22.03.2016.)
and the second one is device specific where users of both p5110/p5113 use the same file.
(used to flash ROMs prior to the unified project)
Unified Project Roms and recoveries will generally be where you see
espresso3g -> P5100
and
espressowifi -> P5110,P5113 (so if you see espressowifi, it is safe to flash for p5113)

Like I said factory reset will hardly change anything with the system partition. Since the superSu apk and its data was installed on data partition and was lost after factory reset. you can just make sure that superSu is installed in system partition, when you open superSu setting you will find to move the app to the system option. once you do that, reboot and SuperSu will be there even after a factory reset.
Ah the donation. I never thought of that. so never really set up an account. will let you know when I do, it will up.

Some of the information might be broken when the data was wiped. did you check the twrp manager app was granted root access from the superSU app? if not try disable and enable the root access from the SuperSU app. if it's still not working.
Do you get any Su binary needs to be updated error? if that's there you will get 2 options to either select normal or cwm/twrp(since you don't have a custom recovery, try normal method only).
if it's still causing error then the easy way would be to root the tab again, but considering the errors you're already getting along with the changes, it would be a bad idea doing that without starting out with a fresh stock firmware. which would be a much better and safer option to go with.
You aren't using Odin with PC and trying things within the tab itself,(it would have been much better) but since you can't then there is the flashify app, that will help you to flash recovery.img format file(useful for updating the recovery on the go) from within and there is Mobile Odin too for the p51xx series. see if this works. but be careful while using these apps check you're flashing the correct file. the mobile odin can flash firmware from the tab itself.
Hello Forum,
I am in desperate need of rooting my old Galaxy Express Prime 2 (SM-J327a), because I accidentally deleted all of my images. I cannot find a .tar file to recover the device. I checked TWRP's site, and they don't have a file to support this device yet. Does anyone know another way to root this device, or where I can find a .tar file to use with Odin? I have tried virtually all root apps and programs.
Thank you,
Mosaic Owl
I would like to second this request (though I am not near as desperate). Has anyone tried using the Samsung one click root method for this phone?
Link to modded Odin to skip SHA256

I tried loading up One Click Root on my laptop and it said it couldn't find its servers. I also tried flashing twrp for a similar Boost phone, (SM-J327p) knowing there was a risk of bricking it. My J327a was free and I plan to stick with my Moto, so I could afford to risk it, plus I've always been able to un brick anything from graphics cards to phones and game systems.
Anyway, Odin 3.12 gets a few steps into the twrp install, but before it actually begins to install, an error pops up that says "SHA256 is invalid". I searched for a couple of hours, and all I can come up with is that AT&T put an extra check in there to see where the files were coming from, and attempting to install custom recovery will cause this error. A modified Odin was released to skip this check on an older phone, but I could not find a working link to it.
That's what I came here for: a link to the modified Odin that will allow me to install TWRP without that check. If it's posted, DO NOT try flashing the wrong twrp recovery if you can't afford having it bricked for a while like I can.
I guess you would need to start with an eng bootloader that will let your phone boot then work on a tethered root... I'm still looking for binary 2 with rev 2 combination file without luck, all I need is to extract the boot and see if I can reset lock pattern. I tried google account but it does not have the option to lock-relock screen anymore. It's my nephew's phone and my daughter messed it up. I can login the google account and make it ring and locate it but can't disable the pattern. He has no backup of this phone...
Have any one make it done?
