upgrade OS on Galaxy tab 3 sm-t210 - General Questions and Answers

I am looking to upgrade a Galaxy tab 3 sm-t210 to at least 4.4.4
I have found a custom 4.4.2 rom image I can flash onto a galaxy tab 3 sm-t210 using heimdall ( linux pc) to root it. But have been unable to locate any other custom roms that are higher. Are there any out there, other threads seem to suggest that as Samsung did not make an official later release for this device, it would be hard to create any custom roms.
Thanks in advance for any advice/assistance given.

I don't have this device myself but, in order for you to flash a Custom Firmware, you will need to install a Custom Recovery first (there's no need to unlock bootloader for this device either).
Depending on the Custom Recovery you would like, the following threads are where you can obtain them as well as questions regarding Support and Guidance. Also be sure to read the OP and search the threads instructions and guidance for installing them.
CWM = http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2433853
TWRP = http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2653391
You can check the following Index Thread for a list of Custom Firmware that's specific to your device too.

Thank you for you help. but I am still a bit confused.
If I understand this correctly, installing this Custom Recovery will allow me to then install a Custom firmware to upgrade my sm-T210 to a higher version of Andriod. But I am unable to locate any sm-t210 specific Custom Firmware with a higher Android level then 4.4.2 . I am presuming the Custom firmware must be built specifically for the sm-t210 device?

I don't believe so...
From what I had read, there's other options like those that can be Ported from other variants to yours and modified TW Firmware.
You will have to do your research to locate one that's suitable for you.

There are not any newer ROMs for your model number. It's an older device and is no longer being developed.

Galaxy S6 5.1.1 SM-G920FXXU3COI9

Hi all,
I'm visiting the XDA Forums for the first time, so please excuse my ignorance if I'm posting my article in the wrong location, or am not observing an obvious rule. The reason I'm on here is because I'd like to root my device so that I can install custom roms, and remove the spyware pre-installed onto my device (the Computrace rootkit by Absolute Software).
My device specification is in the title.
I've tried unlocking my bootloader (following a great video from HighOnAndroid) however, the option to do so is not present.
Please can some kind soul help me achieve my objective of liberating my device? I would be very grateful.
Kind regards,
A compete idiot.
instead of rooting install debloater from xda and remove unvanted apps via pc.
Thank you for your kind words of assistance; unfortunately, I do not believe that this will help me tick all of my requirements (custom ROMs). Also, I believe that the Computrace spyware is so low level that this is not really achievable (although I could be mistaken).
I should also mention that my device was supplied by EE (Everything Everywhere) within England (UK - United Kingdom).

Just flash Unikernel with Odin (Get the odin version), than you'll have access to root and a custom kernel. From there you can install TWRP (make sure you have the correct one for g920f) using odin again, with TWRP then you can flash a custom kernel. Be warned though as you will lose your WiFi Calling capabilities.
Thank you. Are there any video tutorials an idiot like myself can follow? I quite often make school-boy errors. Also, will this trip KNOX?
It appears from an article I have read (http://www.galaxys6edgeupdate.com/how-to-root-galaxy-s6-511-update-unikernel/) the model I specified in the title is not supported. Do you know something that has not been explained here? Or was your suggestion slightly incorrect (although I am grateful for your intended objective to help)?

Has anyone a solution to this challenge? Or is this something that is too difficult for the rooting community?
Many thanks in advance!

UniKernel works most models (Including g920f) and it doesn't matter what version you are on as long as you are on 5.1.1 (which you are).
Thank you Rekan_! I'll give it a try
Hi I'm new and lost. I've been searching on how to root my s6 on 5.1.1 and build number G920FXXU3COI9 but i can't find anything clear. Any tutorials i can use.

[Completed] [CF-auto-root][Android 5.0][Note 3 SM-N9005]Rooting with different firmware version

Hello,
I am planning on following a guide to root my Note 3 SM-N9005, currently running Android 5.0. My FW version is LRX21V.N9005XXUGBOK6. The guide says it is okay to flash it with Odin with a package from chainfire's official website which is based on another FW version, LRX21V.N9005XXUGBOA5, but also suitable for SM-N9005 running Android 5.0.
Could you confirm that it is really all right to do so? I do not want to brick my phone or lose data.
Much obligated.
PS: here is the guide, for your reference (URL) nasirtech.blogspot.sg/2015/12/root-n9005xxugbok6-android-50-stock-rom.html

How do I find a method to unlock the Meizu BootLoader

Sorry for my incorrect english but I'm using google translator because I'm italian.
Hello everyone, lately I'm finding a way to unlock the BootLoader Meizu M5c, I tried to take the devinfo, modify it, flash with adb or with root explorer, but nothing, the bootloader is not unlocked, if I do fastboot oem unlock says that the command is unknown, how do I find the way to unlock the BL, I do not even know if I modified the devinfo, I would like to understand how the exploit of the bootloader work on meizu m3 note, m2 note and m6 note or how to change the devinfo correctly to show that the bootloader is unlocked.
Or how to re-add the command fastboot oem unlock / flashing unlock.
I can also attach the original devinfo.

I don't personally have any Meizu devices and I can understand what you're asking for but, it's not very clear on a few items so please correct me if I'm wrong with the following...
Are you just asking about how to Unlock the Bootloader for the following devices because you are unable to locate anything on the XDA Forum for any of them?
Meizu M2 Note
Meizu M3 Note
Meizu M5c
Meizu M6 Note

No, you misunderstood, I'm asking how to unlock the bootloader of the meizu m5c based on exploit/method of the meizu m2 note or m3 note or m6 note that are devices exploited because normally the bootloader can not be unlocked because Meizu has done so that if you do fastboot oem unlock give you the error "unknown command"

Thank you very much for clarifying this! :thumbup:
Have you looked at the thread that reflects the process for Unlocking the Bootloader for the Meizu M2 Note to see how/if it can also be applied to the M5c?

You understood but I also said that if the m2 note method does not work then use the m3 note method, or the m6 note method or find another flaw.

Unlock methods are usually device and firmware specific. The method is usually different from one model number to the next, even if the devices are similar and made by the same manufacturer. Also, some devices have more than one firmware build number/version and unlock method can be different for each build number/version or one or more of those build numbers/versions can be unlocked but the others can't be unlocked.
Basically, the unlock depends on the specific device and has nothing to do with how other devices are/were unlocked, what applies to one device, does not necessarily apply to a different device.
Just do a Google search for:
"Unlock bootloader (your specific model number here)"
If that doesn't find anything for your specific device then there is not a known unlock method for that device. You'll have to experiment on your own to find a method that works.

You answered yourself, I would like to see if the exploits also work on the meizu m5c. So I would like to experience those exploits on the meizu m5c to see if they work.

I didn't ask a question, so I couldn't have answered myself. My answer just wasn't the answer you were looking for. You are asking about using the exploits from one device on a different device, in my answer, I said that what works on one device model number, typically does not work on a different model number, but I'm guessing you missed that or purposely ignored it because it doesn't suit your purposee.

No, I did not want to ignore it, but maybe who can say that an exploit can work on another device, maybe by changing something.
Who can say that maybe the flaw has not yet been corrected and that it is working on 2 different devices.
But I think I'm wrong.
Please anyone help me, after try reflashing my meizu m5c black screen but still can read vcom port.. help me please error auth file

This cannot be done...
The security feature within the bootloader will prevent this from happening and, if it's attempted, you may/might/will (take the chance at) Hard/Soft Bricking your device.
