I have just bought an unlocked skyrocket and I live in the UK.
I'm very happy with it,
1)It is running 2.3.5 and I can't upgrade it and shows a communication failed error there is an update but it's not available cos the servers are busy I went to device manager and cleared the cache and it still says the same thing. How do I upgrade?
2) What is the best way to remove the AT&T apps
3) what is the best and safest method to root which does a proper unroot later if required?
4)How do remove carrier iq as it is on this device?
5)Is there anyway to remove the AT&T branding?
I would be so happy if an expert could help me
Thank you in advance
This is the method that I used to root. But be careful when you do it. Supposedly this doesn't work with the 2.3.6 update.

After that, I used Root Uninstaller (in the market) to freeze or uninstall apps I didn't want. Another popular app to uninstall bloatware is Titanium Backup.
Unfortunately, I have no experience with putting the device back to stock.
Not sure how to remove Carrier IQ. I think this requires a custom rom (can someone else confirm?).
So I rooted my device with Towelroot. I checked that it was rooted and I used my device for sometime and then I thought I really didnt need root so I unrooted my device through superuser. I used an app called root checker and it said that my device didnt have root permissions. So now I need OTA updates and it says that my device had been modified in an authorized way? Did I unroot it properly or is there another way to fix this or unroot my device. I am looking forward to your replies.
Thanks!
Hi all, I am new to this.
My company decided to use Good for Enterprise to run email on Mobile. I am using Xiaomi developer version and I don't wanna lose developers features. So, I bought a Teclast X89 for it has dual OS. So bad, GFE complaints my newly bought X89 is rooted and refuses to run.
I tried numbers of methods to get rigid of it but still in vain. I tried-
1. resintall from scratch with the stock ROM....failed....still complaining rooted
2. rooted it and deleted all busybox related files, deleted su and unroot it using root software.......failed.......still complaining rooted
3. rooted it and deleted all bushbox related files, deleted su and unroot is using unroot feature of superuser and supercleaner.......failed.....still complaining rooted.
Every time after unrooted, I checked with root checker software and those checker software didnt find any root trace. But, GFE is still complaining rooted.
Please, please.....anyone can help to completely unroot my Teclast X89 so that I can successfully install GFE.
Thanks in advance
that hapends to me seching on the net we have to unlock the bootloader from the teclast
Is this the most recommended method to root my Verizon Note 12.2? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2783950
Is this a permanent root? Will I be able to receive and install OTA updates from Verizon if I use this root and will the root be uninstalled as a result?

That's a good question . I'm looking to root without tripping Knox on my wifi version I just purchased off of ebay. I'm looking for an tar.md5 to start with.. Any help would be appreciated.
Same here. A White WiFi Note 12.2 64GB I bought off eBay, which according to Samsung's website, doesn't exist.
Hello,
Great tablet... I just got one off ebay myself and I see towelroot does not work- app not installed. I Allowed unknown sources in security. I am curious as to why you guys are concerned about tripping the knox since this I think this tablet would be out of warranty, unless you would not want to trip it for resale?
Any success on rooting so far? I am no too experienced but the first thing I'd like to do is get the apk from this enhanced s-note on all my other note tablets and phone.

I tried 2 different versions of Kingroot with no success.
Hi I used the cf auto root - check the 1st pic I attached. Once you plug in a windows pc it should download the samsung drivers then download that specific dl in the pic (I can't copynpaste on here)- it gives you the latest odin program download. It really easy from there. Once you reboot, supersu is there. I then dl'd root checker, titanium backup, busybox, root explorer and most important twrp manager from the play store. It was all too easy. I'm on 5.02 and I did check the knox and it started but stopped and said it couldn't be accessed at this time. I'm keeping the stock rom and just wiped dalvik and cache in recovery.

The most effective way to root this tablet is with Cf-autoroot. It will trip the Knox counter but it will permanently enable SuperSU on your device.
If you root your device you will NOT be able to take OTAs. If you run rooted stock firmware it will alert you that an update is available but most likely it will fail to install. I tried updating my firmware while rooted via Kies and it failed each time.
There aren't many new topics on this model so here we go,
My z3 stock came with 5.0.1 and as far as i know never (the 6616) had the 4.4 as an option. SO downgrading didn't work, so i'm stuck trying to root this with 5.0.1 and after two days of browsing this site there really doesn't seem to be a way to do so. Eventually i said $%#* it and rooted it using kingroot but after rooting it, root checker passed the root but would not give proper access when installing root apps such as busybox and the ta backup tool.
So i didn't realize that the keys ive been trying to save are useless anyways if i update android and the main reason for me going through this is i really don't like 5.0.1. Only thing i haven't really looked into doing is seeing if kingroot will let me unlock the bootloader then trying to flash an update. SO has anyone successfully updated a 6616 z3 (to 6) who didn't start off with 4.4?
