Hi - I have recently acquired a Samsung Galaxy Tab A (SM -T550X) thinking that it would an easy project. Got it at a very good price I may add. It appears that it used to be a demo unit in PC World & iam unable to reset it to factory default.
It is currently running Marshmallow 6.0.1
Is there a way that I can overwrite everything & start from scratch?
Any assistance would be gratefully appreciated

Hi guys, I have a samsung gt i9300 international bought it last week with android 4.1.1 stock. I upgraded it to 4.3 and then suddenly it could not perform any gsm related action like calling, texting internet etc with a NOT CONNECTED ON NETWORK error message.
I did my homework and found out that
1. the imei beneath the battery is different from the one inside the phone via #*06#
2. I have a generic imei with 00449 etc....
3. I did not backed up the efs folder and ever since I paniced and changed like 10 roms without succeeding.
4. I found out that the solution is to recover my imei
Now I have tried many ways to recover but failed. Is there a way somebody may suggest may be I have not used that one?
Thanks for your time guys I appreciate.

I assume that you have already tried this method: [GUIDE] Recover your IMEI in 9 steps..
If not, please do so.
If it doesn't help, check this thread: Samsung Galaxy S III I9300, I9305 > Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting > [Q] Generic IMEI 0049990106400 / 01.
It's about the same issue and has some useful answers.
If nothing helps, please ask the question in the [HELP THREAD] Galaxy S3 Ask any question. thread.
Best place to get quick help for your device IMO.
Thread closed and thank you.

Hi everyone,
I need help rooting the Samsung Galaxy J3 Sm – J3109. It is a pain dealing with this phone ever since I left China. Google isn't installed on it, and I've tried multiple methods to root etc. but to no avail, nothing. Please, guide this layman in the way of rooting this thorn on my side. I need the great Odin, *CF-Auto-root.tar etc. Show me the way!

hi,
I have a Samsung S6 Edge SM-G925T that got unlocked and worked OK for a few weeks and then after a few weeks it went into a bricked state when it couldn't boot : " library... due to FRP lock".
I used Samsung SmartSwitch to update the image to Android 6.0.1 to get the phone to work again but lost all the pictures and contacts after the update!
I rooted my phone with SuperSu and Kingroot succesfully and tried several trial freeware to try to recover the pics but none are working.
Please advise.
thanks
Hi there and welcome to assist,
I'm sorry to inform you that as far as i know, there is no way you can recover data/photos deleted from internal storage.
You'll have to create an account to post in the main forums if you have any other questions.

Hello all,
I'm in a jam and hope someone can help. I have an older Samsung table, a Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 edition) and I am trying to remove root in order to be able to receive OTA updates again. I have used various apps to try and remove root but they have only removed small pieces and the device is still showing up as rooted/modified, even after performing a factory data reset...it is still showing as rooted.
The biggest problem is that the device is so old that I cannot find the original firmware in order to flash it back to stock in Odin. I have looked EVERYWHERE on the internet but all links to the older firmware have expired or been removed. I even tried calling Samsung tech support but they were no help at all. I then even got desperate and tried calling a local BestBuy to ask for help from their Samsung Reps and Geek Squad, but none were any help. So now my last resort is to reach out to the Android community.
So, as much as I hate to bother you guys, do any of you out there still have an old stock rom/firmware for the Verizon (wifi only) Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 tablet (SM-P600P)? If so, PLEASE SHARE IT. That would be greatly appreciated. Many times I have hit a road block where no tech support anywhere could help, but you guys here at XDA have still come through when no one else could. You all have been lifesavers in the past, so I hope someone can help me this time as well.
Thanks in advance guys for any help that you can provide me. I've tried every website I can think of but keep coming up with nothing (e.g. I've tried Sammobile, Samsung, Kies, YouTube, here at XDA, etc.). Even if you can point me to a link that's still good where I can find the firmware myself, that would be great!!
Thanks again everyone.
