Rooted NK2 AT&T t337a w/ Tutorial

******UPDATE FIX YOUR T337A WITH LOLIPOP FRIMWARE FILE******* I do not take credit for this file at all, all credit goes to MichaelSaya. Here is a direct quote from him "Here is the link to my Google drive with the Official Lollipop Firmware for the AT&T TAB 4, SM-T-337-A https://mega.nz/#!0Q4AXQgZ!Df-pTUo6eA80kGTrzpYCAJ0ilGbUzMYCE4nRtvume6s Place in AP slot in Odin and flash. Be aware that many have been bricked. Only root with Kingroot and when you reboot, you will lose root. Simply re-root with Kingroot and you will be fine. DO NOT REPLACE KINGROOT WITH SUPERSU!!!!! YOU WILL BRICK!!!!! But we have the firmware now so we can now play around knowing that if we mess something up, we can fix it."
I found a way to re-root the t337a with the latest OTA NK2. Not sure if I was the only one in this boat or whatever but I got bored and started experiment. First thing i did was Flash the older NF4 kernel with ODIN. Put this in the PDA slot and flash! It was successful, I downloaded Towel root, and bam! Root working again ! Cheers!
Tutorial:
1. Get the latest drivers to make sure everything goes smooth http://org.downloadcenter.samsung.c...NG_USB_Driver_for_Mobile_Phones_v1.5.45.0.exe
2. Get Odin if you don't have it yet: http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=1168421
3. Download the NF4 kernel from the attachment below
4. Go into Odin.
5. Click on PDA, search for the file you downloaded boot.tar and select it. Pic: http://i.imgur.com/XrqVPLZ.png
6. Now, put your tablet into download mode! If you don't know how to enter download mode go here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dDE1oB2-nYw its the s5 but same concept.
7. Plug in your tablet and it should say something like this in message window in odin: http://i.imgur.com/uWFc4YX.png
8. Now, hit start. Let the process run. If all goes well it should say RESET! I dont know what happened to this pic lol http://i.imgur.com/AbH5qW7.png but hopefully you get the point.
9. Give the tablet a few minutes to boot. Keep it plugged in until you see PASS! http://i.imgur.com/eTuHDUl.png
10. Go get towel root. Run it. And BAM! You are rooted again
*** WARNING *** This doesn't work with the lolipop update. I have tried to downgrade my tablet and it did softbrick it. Do not try to downgrade your tablet/try this method if you are running lolipop 5.1.1. This only works on kitkat. HOWEVER. I have the lolipop boot.tar. Use the instructions above to unbrick your tablet (This will not give you root access. I'm going to look at it and see if I can figure something out to get root access). I have not tested this myself because mine is at a friends house BUT this should work. Cheers

Hi,
Neat ! so if the older kernel was compiled before towel root's october deadline [i think it was october] when that vulnerability
was closed then that would make sense. :good:
so the rom run just fine with the older kernel ?
could you post the older NF4 kernel/boot.img and modules ?
thanks
m

Absolutely! Heres the thing. I cant post links yet. Is there anyway i can pm itnto you and idk you set up a post? Or is there another way

So I put the kernel/boot.img in a attachment. Yes everything runs very smooth. Especially after all the frozen bloatware! Anyways happy rooting !
Also attatched is a screenshot with me rooted/on NK2 with the NF4 kernel!

Yeah you indeed do have the wrong device, however if you want i can upload the NE1 kernel (first kernel for the t537a). However... i have not tested it for this device. It should be the same concept but im not 100 percent sure it will work. Do you want to at least try? Ill post it in my next reply if you are interested in giving it a go.

CocaFoca,
hi, this is off-topic but, do you have a working recovery for the 337a yet? Or a lead on unlocking it?
I've alternately tried to mod safestrap and actually build it from what sources Hashcode had up
but no dice.
on the odin image, it may have been packed wrong,
run this script in the same directory as the boot.img
#!/bin/bash
tar -H ustar -c boot.img > boot.tar
md5sum -t boot.tar >> boot.tar
mv boot.tar boot.tar.md5
odin complains about the md5 sometimes so you can skip
the last line, it will still flash.

I unfortunately do not. I do believe I know why safestrap isnt workin SElinux wont disable at all for me... Tried booting safestrap for different att phones and it woulndt stick always said not active. I believe we need to find a way to make it permissive then it will work? Tried the one on the market didnt work. I did get one to make it permissive but it reset after reboot :/ im just a newbie at this stuff but tbh I want to learn. Anyways... Im interested in this... Will look into it tomorrow

Coca,
ok you may need selinux enabled busybox, check this thread, http://forum.xda-developers.com/and...de-busybox-snapshot-building-android-t2857650 , the OP is a good read the links are a ways down, i've tested out both versions and they seem square.
my last thought is to replace the two distinct busybox binaries in safestrap, busybox and bbx, my attempts with safestrap
end up rebooting to my actual recovery if that provides a lead. the version i chose for modding was Galaxy S4 (ATT) [JFLTEATT]

I'm not sure what happened CarlDinAZ but I had the same specs on my Tab 4 I just got through an upgrade from AT&T and after following the tutorial by Coca using the boot.tar he provided for the T537A and then rooting with towelroot I can confirm that it does work for this model.
Thanks for the boot.tar and tutorial Coca!

Just had a had a thought, maybe we could tweak a twrp version for say the t-mobile version and try to code safestrap into that and make it boot on our t337a? Recently had the need for a recovery and I want to help get it working! Do you think there is any chance with the one linked here?: http://forum.xda-developers.com/tab-4/general/sm-t235-lte-rooted-twrp-2-8-alpha1-sm-t3027059

Love the walkthrough style. Thanks for writing this up.

Taking the dive later this week, I have been missing root since moving to QAA. I will try to update over the weekend.

Worked!
Everything worked like a charm. I was already on nougat. followed instructions from step 2 and everything is working. I did have to run root.bat twice to get supersu app to show up, but it was already stated in directions which helped greatly for me not to freak out at that point lol. Anyways as i stated it worked like a charm and anyone on the fence if you rooted before you will be able to do this for sure. Once again thank you very much good sir!

Thanks for the root method I have been waiting for something to come out can't wait to try.
And just a heads up it is frowned upon on XDA to share paid apps.

About to attempt, will post results

How is it running? Smooth? hot?

Im guessing its a package i disabled or didn't disable so it will take a bit to sort out. Its no biggie i might need to reroot. I can still raise the volume if i press volume down and move the slider. This is the only minor problem I've seen.

Does anyone know where I can find the nougat firmware? Trying to start fresh after a not successful root. Thanks

If that's the case I would suggest starting over...But just data? Can you call or text? Bluetooth?Hotspot? Is there an LTE symbol in notification bar with no data? Or is it just bars with no service completely? Double check your package disabler.

Try clearing google play store and google play services cache, if there is little cache then clear data and reenter your gmail. Youre talking about when updating in play store right? If not try only disabling these below instead [from goongydin's thread] and flash engineer. Or manually disabling from list(dont import). But once we disable these apps and flash boot img, these apps aren't supposed to change status which would mean repetitive testing. My honest answer is always going to be try from beginning again.

squashfs to ext4 (copy from watch r thread)

Ok guys,
I found this a while ago:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/g-watch-r/development/getting-ext4-instead-squashfs-6-0-1-t3341166
I wanted to do the same on the urbane 2, to give us the full potential of this watch.
There are a few things to be changed.
After getting the boot.img, for us it is the 'fstab.nemo' that has to be edited first.
I really want to finish this for us too, but always short on time. Will try to go further tonight and get the partitions online on gparted. anybody wanna join and help, just let me know.
:highfive:

Ok, late update. while i repaired my watch, i was back on this thread.
seems we can't flash it as intended while secure boot is breaking on this point. whenever i want to start with ext4, the watch will not boot to system, but hang on lg bootlogo

Nice to see you again for inspiring us the reason why I was stuck in staring at the bootlogo. Good job guy. Hope there could be idea to deal with that in someways.

we would need a way to turn of Secure Boot.

It seems that aboot will be checked by SBL when booting so turning off Secure Boot can truly be a difficult job for me due to knowing little about it. But on the other hand, I've tested Magisk V21.4, finding it working amazingly well. I wonder if it's able to function what we need systemlessly by the powerful tool - Magisk.

i will try the new version today.
anyhow, I'm still interested to get /system modifiable and the only way will be to get rid of secure boot.
Was the old wear 1.5 already squash FS?
maybe flashing back would be an option?

I'm not sure whether earlier WearOS has already begun using suashfs or not as I'm a new user of WearOS because my watch is secondhand.
EdXposed doesn't support Android 7 and below, how did you install it? You would like to try original Xposed Framework in Magisk by rovo89 and install the modified Xposed Installer provided by the author to properly detect Systemless Xposed. However, it may lead to high CPU rate and cause an unpleasant using experience. Good luck, hope we can find the way to make this watch totally in control.

Futhermore, I'm working on trying emulating Mifare cards on my watch by using NFC but only to find it so difficult to archieve my goal. Is there any way to emulate cards with all sectors?

Solved!
I found it from here when I was finding some posts in Coolapk but came across the great surprise what we need.
Just download it and flash it by fastboot.
Enjoy!

did you try that already. its too good tonbe true.
will be downloading in a minute

with the ext4 image i will hang on 'searching for updates' while setting up the watch

ok, clean install fixed that for me, but still get a prob setting up the watch with wear app
finally connection isnt possible

In actual fact it's unnecessary to wipe data. Just wipe cache and davlik cache in recovery and then you will get your watch with nothing changed but system unlocked. I've succeeded in this way.

I went a harder route....
Finally had to flash stock and update again.
Flashed then after the fresh Wear 2.0 update and it worked flawlessly.
But i still encountered the problem with connection to Phone.
Could only resolve by adb reconnect to phone.
But anyhow, works now and is all fine.

https://drive.google.com/file/d/15ZQN1Epy8d81N_GNUP2M3gXQPL02kIGL/view?usp=sharing <<<PATCHED ODIN
:::WARNING:::, THIS WILL WIPE ALL DATA ON THE PHONE, PLEASE BACKUP ANY DATA BEFORE THIS PROCESS. I HAVE NOT PROVIDED ANY ADB FILES OR ANY OTHER THING AS I AM SIMPLY DOING A FLASH. IF YOU NEED THOSE FILES PLEASE LOOK ELSEWHERE.
IF YOU DONT WANNA WIPE USE THE HOME CSC AND IT WILL KEEP ALL YOUR INFO ON THE PHONE BUT DOING A DIRTY UPDATE CAN CAUSE ISSUES SOMETIMES.
1. UNZIP THE FILE and you will see 3 folders in it, the UserData file/Patched Odin/Full Oreo Firmware.
2. launch The patched Odin
3. Put you galaxy s8 into download mode by turning the phone off. Then Hold the bixby button and the Volume down button and push the power button.
It will show the download mode and you will then push the Volume Up and you will enter download mode. Plug in your phone thats in download mode now to your computer.
4. Go to ODIN and then select BL, AP, CSC>>>(select the non home CSC), CP and direct each one of those to the corresponding files. SO BL GETS BL FILE, CP GETS THE CP AND SO ON. Make sure to select the NON HOME CSC file. Shut down odin and restart it again as you will need it later. Unplug the phone.
DO NOT SELECT THE USERDATA FILE YET, THAT WILL BE LATER.
5. Once you are ready make sure your phone shows on the ID:COMM up top. If it does go ahead and click START. Depending on your computer this can take anywhere from 4-20 minutes. SIT BACK AND RELAX TILL ITS DONE.
6. Once the phone is done it will restart. (it will say updating system and likely get not that high % and then say erasing-this is normal). Let it load back up to the WELCOME screen. Once it gets to that screen turn the phone completely off again and put it back into download mode(shows how to above in step 3).
7. Launch ODIN again or go back to odin if you already restarted it from the earlier step. Plug the phone back into the computer again once its in download mode.
8. Make sure the phone shows up in odin by looking at the ID:COM, if it does then go down the USERDATA spot and select it and direct it to the userdata file(USERDATA_AIO_G950USQS5CSB1_CL15104926_QB21778972_REV01_user_low_ship_MULTI_CERT.tar.md5) in the USERDATA folder you extracted. Once your sure the phone is showing in the ID:COM and you selected the userdata file go ahead and click start. This process should only take around 3-6 minutes or so.
9. Once the process is complete it will restart at which this time you can unplug the phone. It will take a bit to load up because it fully erased the phone again. IT will likely say updating system and then get to a certain percentage and stop and say erasing(this is normal).
10. You now have an unlocked firmware cricket phone with the Cricket Splash screen and working Volte. setup the phone and enjoy OREO.

Mine shows the Wi-Fi calling greyed out. Might just be me though. Not sure how to enable it on my end.

I can access the Wi-Fi calling stuff via a tasker but it seems too not wanna turn on.

Ok it shows it's turned on, but I'm not sure how to really tell or how to test out.

When you turned it on, did you get a window to put in your 911 address?

It did not give me any option at all you do anything. The video shows what it did for me. I have volte working, just not Wi-Fi calling.

I used the new aio unlocked crd4 firmware(cricket firmware) to do this. I just haven't updated the thread yet with that firmware. What fail message is it giving you?

When I click start, it stops in a Fail.
I do find the instructions a little confusing.

What does the fail say? Everything should be straight forward. Load the files into the proper spots. Then click start.

Could you make this for the note 8

I don't have a note 8, so can't do that. It honestly wouldn't be any different from this except you would need the unlocked firmware and att user data for the note 8.

Updated thread with crd4. I have the cre2 firmware and will test it out tonight to see if I can still use the Userdata method. If I can I will update the thread with the cre2 firmware.

CRE2 works correctly with VOLTE and visual voicemail working. I still cant get WI-Fi calling to work as its greyed out on my phone. If someone figures that out let me know and ill update the thread. I'm uploading the CRE2 files right now and they should be available within an hour of making this comment.
thread has been updated with multiple links now and updated firmware.

I might, but I still need to unbrick my A125F for a long time, since 2021 lol, but I have an A127F that works, and I'm planning on somehow reviving the A125F so I can maintain this! Thank you for asking.

You're welcome. I'm not a developer myself but I always involve myself in this kind of work to try out what people like you end up making. I really appreciate the work you guys do

Also this is not modified firmware, pretty much just stock but on the A125F.

Sorry for the mistake, I think the A03s uses One UI Core, not sure. Fixed the title incase.

You're only flashing it in the AP section meaning the loss of IMEI issue won't be there?

Yeah. There should be none. Since I only replaced the system.img and some other things with the A035F's.

Nice. Wait does just flashing the ap file clear any data

Yeah it does. You also have to flash the stock BL, CSC, and CP, and then proceed to factory reset to boot it, also currently I do not know if it fully boots or not. So I do not recommend flashing as of now on your primary, unless you want to lose your data, and risk it just bootlooping, and you doing it for no reason.

Well I am planning on flashing it but it's my main device. I'll have to take serious backups first

Also keep in mind, nobody knows if it works. So you have to be careful.

Maybe it will work for you? We've tried it only with one person, and it ended up not working, so try it if you want to, and if it works tell me and i'll restore the post.
