Hallo,
First off some details:
I have a galaxy s3 i9300.
I was attempting to install android 4.4.
Due to "error 7" this was a lot harder then it should have been ( the versions of cwm that i could get to work gave error 7 and newer versions did not load)
Eventually i installed philz touch version 6 wich was able to install this kitkat file: http://forum.xda-developers.com/devdb/project/dl/?id=11372
(back-to-n00t_ROM_V9).
However the screen stopped responding, the solutions found using google (take our battery, factory reset, unscrew the back and check a connector) did not work.
I think i got android 4.4 running, the other buttons work fine and i can acces the recovery and the download mode.
During my process i downloaded a kernel of a s2
(https://emilgeorgejames.wordpress.com/2015/03/02/how-to-fix-eerror-status-7-with-cwm-recovery-while-flashing-cyanogenmod-11-kk4-4-4-on-samsung-s-ii-gt-i9100g/)
Which, as far as i can see seems to be the problem, however i dont know anything about kernels etc. i tried installing s3 kernels from here (http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s3/general/ref-galaxy-s3-stock-kernel-bootloaders-t2189063) which did not solve the problem
Take note, i am very new at this, i spend some time today trying to get android 4.4 working which is all the experience i have with this subject.
In advance, thank you all for any help you can provide.
I hope i dont have to buy a new phone.

CWM not compatible and can't find phone in TWRP. Any ideas?
Hello. If I understand you correctly, you are searching for a Recovery for your device. Unfortunately a quick search turned up no Recovery for your Device. I would advice you to post up i the link below.

Thank you. After doing a lot of digging and a couple weeks I got CMW to work. Seems that my phone is a chopped up version of another.
Glad to hear you got it sorted

Hello! I have this tablet for about 1 year now and I decided to root it. Why not?
The problem is that after I rooted this device I installed a custom loading screen for when the tablet turns on and it started bootlooping. The factory reset doesn't work and I didn't find any rom/firmware that I could install. I don't have any custom "bios" (or however you call that on a tablet).
Here is the website where you can find the specs: allview.ro/viva-d8.html
The only fix I can think of is installing a rom, but I couldn't find any for this device. (I searched but only phone surveys poped up).
Many Thanks!

A pleasant day viewers. Thanks for taking the time to stop by and help me with my problem. Now, the device i am having problem is with a samsung galaxy s4 active -i537 which is from the ATT network and unlocked. I bought it from ebay and it says it was "ATT unlocked" having received the device; it was running android 4.4.2, everything was working fine. i wanted to update to lollipop and went over to settings> about phone> software update > check update. bam! says,"your phone is up-to-date." I know it wasn't as it was able to update to lollipop.
moreover, I went on the web and began searching. I was able to come across xda forum which guided me with the OTA files to update to lollipop. I followed through and everything went well. however, upon using the device I realized several bugs. one of which is the annoying one; not seeing the option or menu to toggle between 2g, 3g or 4g etc. I have searched longed and hard to find "android lollipop 5.0.1 firmware" so that I can flash the device via odin to fix the issue. the thing is; i am unable to find the firmware. It would be greatly appreciated if someone could direct me to a site where i can get pure stock rom of android 5.0.1 for sgh s4 active-i537. NB: i do not want the OTA file. I need the full firmware.
any answers regarding this thread please email me at [email protected]
thanks,

Hello, I'm BloodDrunk, and newly registered user on this forum. Came here in hopes you can help me.
Ok so, I posses 2 android devices (one kindle, other samsung phone), and I need both of them rooted.
My first device is: Samsung Galaxy Core LTE SM-G386F. It has an android version which is: 4.2.2, and Kernel version which is: 3.4.5-2703877.
I have tried various tools to root my phone, but with NO sucess whatsoever. Every tool threw something like: The rooting was unsucessful.
If you could aid me in trying to root my phone, I'd be very grateful.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
The second device is Kindle Fire tablet. It's serial number is D01E 0A0A 2235 00B9, and currently running version 6.3.4_user_4120720.
What I want to do to this device is, root it (which I am also unable to do whatsoever), and wipe it completely out, and load an Android ROM KitKat 4.4.2 onto it. I also tried various tutorials on the internet, and none have helped me in achieving my goal. I do not have original cable that comes with this tablet. I have already downloaded KitKat 4.4.2. android ROM, and Kindle Fire Utility, but I am simply unable to do anything with that utility since it gets stuck on that waiting for device thing.
I am really eager to root my first device, and second, and load android ROM onto that tablet because I need an android tablet.
Could you guys help me out?
Thank you for your time.

I've recently upgraded phones and have decided to root my S5 active. Unfortunately, I am not running the NE4 version of the firmware, therefore, I am not able to use Towelroot. I've done quite a bit of digging trying to solve the problem to no avail. I've tried using Odin to either downgrade my firmware or install a custom/rooted firmware but Odin gives an "Auth" fail. I've done as much research as I can into why I get an auth fail and nothing I've seen suggested has helped. I've tried installing firmware through the SD card, looked into sideloading firmware but that seems to be only for updates as far as I can tell. I am well and truly at a loss and was hoping someone could help.
