[Q] Getting a SGT this week. - Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Getting my tab this week. Looking forward to NOT ruining like my generic APad from China. Well, I take that back. I just cant get my screen rotation and wifi to work so I offed it on ebay.
Anyway, if I understand correctly, to use this beast as a phone,
1. Root
2.Verify/Patch Bootloaders
3. Backup ? (This is fresh out of box, any need?)
4. Restock ? (This is fresh out of box, any need?)
5. Download mode
6. Install Kernel
7. Install Overcome Rom
8. Restore Data ? (This is fresh out of box, any need?)
Any feedback appreciated. I think I have done my home. Its a Tmobile so I know I have you use the carrier specific modem.
I have never really posted on here before like this, but I think I might have a few tips and tricks I can contribute, as I have learned sooooooooooooooooooooo much from you guys.

Please read before posting and post in the correct section.
Thanks

[Q] How do I root my 2.2.1 N1

Manual method...

I'm not sure why people find it so hard to say 'SuperOneClick' in reply to such an easy question. It's the only one-click method still working for the N1!
As always do your research and read the wiki, but you'll want to find and learn about SuperOneClick for rooting and possibly Rom Manager, if you decide to start using custom ROMs.
If you find yourself at the stage where you are using a custom recovery do yourself a favour and do a Nandroid backup. (learn about that too if you haven't already).
Because:
1) SuperOneClick is not the only option - there is also manual method and the bootloader method.
2) You don't know what tomorrow brings. Wiki will be updated, these threads won't be. Pointing to Wiki will keep the people using updated info. This is what Wiki is for.
3) Personally, I think people asking such question should be banned for a day or two, until they learn to read before asking. It's the most basic question with answers just about anywhere, and it still pops 3 times a week.
Also, the part which people often struggle with, is the setting up the sdk.
Superoneclick and manual methods both require sdk to be set up.
Most of the instructions in the wiki are outdated in this respect (it points to threads, which don't get updated), which is why I wrote the guide in the link, and is also the reason why I pointed to it...

SOC needs nothing to be set-up. Just stick it on your pc and run it.
Advising people to root by unlocking bootloader/manual method is like telling someone to use a sledgehammer to crack a walnut. Sure it'll work but it'll be messy, possibly do collateral damage, and could be done safer/faster/easier with another tool!
The OP was clearly looking for a 1-click method, which is understandable as MOST people do prefer to take the path of least resistance.

Try it, and enjoy the results. Return to tell us the story of how you waited hours for it to connect to your phone, until your patience ran out.
Advising people to use bootloader or manual methods has a great benefit - it teaches people things about the system that they need to know when going root, and a side benefit of preventing some of the idiocy going on around. Most idiotic threads on XDA came from people that either rooted or attempted to root, while clearly not understanding a thing about the system they're dealing with.

You don't seem to understand. The 1-click method STILL requires Nexus drivers from the SDK to be installed - and if you don't have them installed, it won't work!
People that fail with 1-click methods, usually fail because of that. And that's what danger-rat was trying to explain.

Does that vary with operating system? I didn't need to install any sdk drivers on my Win7 install for SOC to work.
Come to think of it i've never had to manually install drivers on Win7 as it has always picked up on everything i've plugged into it. God bless MS
I believe Win7 will automatically install the correct drivers, yes.

You may feel right about this, but no one asked. There are better times, places, and ways to say this without risking looking like a pompous asshole. If you really want to make a difference, try sending the OP a private message so he will understand, or leave a courteous note in your post. I'm pretty sure most people aren't trying to stir up trouble when they post.

I'm not really sure about what causes you to impose what other people's goals on this site are. Everyone is here for various reasons, and they aren't necessarily yours.

[Q] can anyone gimme ics rom and blackrose for nexus one

First of all, I am going to assume (perhaps wrongly) that you are 14 years-old (from your user name), and believe me when I tell you: I know that age is hard, and I know because I've been there, however, no matter how hard it was for me I knew that if I dared asking my mother what a word meant, I'd get immediate attention and instructions to f-off and check up on a dictionary (there was no wikipedia nor google back then) and that no-one else was going to do for me what I didn't do by myself, it is with such background that I want to tell you something:
Last saturday I decided to try ICS on my N1, I had no idea where to start since it had been over 8 months when I last did anything to my phone. Still it took me 25 minutes to not only find the right thread, read it, understand it, download the stuff I needed, and read again to make sure I am not doing something dumb, it also was enough time to actually do the whole process.
Now, considering you already found your way into XDA-Developers and you know how to read threads and know how to post questions, I'd say you have wasted approximately 1 hour thinking somebody is actually going to give you the ROM for ICS and Blackrose, let alone baby-walk you through the process.
I am going to assume that most devs are ignoring this thread (and rightly so) as well as most respected members (and I'd like to consider myself a quiet, self-respected member) but still, I do believe its good to take a bit of time from everyday routine to let someone else know "hey! you are doing it wrong" and hopefully get into that person's head and make that little switch go click.
If after all of this you still feel entitled to have someone hand you over a couple of files, please by all means head over to this location: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=2031989&postcount=45
Thanks and have a great life!
srry im very new here and i couldnt get my way around and ive been checking for hours on the files for ics on the N1 and had nothing but thanks for ur reply
as i said, again im extremely new to all of this and i dont know how to put ROMs in the phone and how to just do any of this if anyone can just give me something from where i can start i will be gladly appreciated
See, now that is different and worth of paying at least a little bit of attention. However I don't believe you have spent hours without making some sense of anything, at least you know about ICS and Blackrose, you may have a rough idea of what you want to accomplish, and so I'll point you in the right direction by telling you to look for the very first thread on the android development forum for nexus one, the one referring to the wiki and to now read it instead of skipping it as you probably did the first time. I'm sure if you read through it you'll understand the basics and will be able to figure it out really soon.
Good luck.

You should read the instructions carefully, the process involves a few steps...
Note that there are 2 o 3 ICS ROMs for Nexus One, and they all have some glitches (USB tethering, camera, SoDs) but they are quite usable.

Need links to old custom ICS ROM

Hi guys, I've been using quite a few brand-name custom JB roms on the GNote Android Development board lately and most of them seem to not like me at all. Some of the roms reboot and get stuck on boot screen, the one with the white text telling you the model and such. It runs like a stabbed rat for a few days before it goes down the drain.I like the smoothness and all, but it's not going to work if my Note decided to catch fever(yes, it heats up while trying to reboot, all while stuck on that dreaded screen).
I'm currently on SlimBean now in hopes to return to a at least functioning TW rom. And my favorite, CleaNote isn't hosted anywhere anymore. As well as the NoteCore links.
I would really appreciate it if anyone could provide links for the latest cleanote and the Notecore/hydracore links. 14.1 if memory serves me right. This ought to keep me sane till the Note finally gives way and finally dies an honorable death.
Battery replaced once due to flickering, changed into Mugen Battery.

I would really appreciate (and it would keep my sanity) if you do the simple step and search for these links yourself. Why should another member do the steps of searching for you? Oh I forget: "it serves you right".

Holy crap. What did I do to you ThaiDai. Cleanote has it's mirrors removed because it was linking to another site. Doing a search of "CLEANOTE" on the GN7000 forums yields zero result. I appreciate your work in XDA but I never expected you to pop right in and lay it all on me like I was some forum newbie bashing on anyone.
Talk about "kicking someone while they're down"
I have no intention of causing a ruckus at XDA, neither have I ever made any requests for ETA/ranting about devs/etc. All I wanted to do was find a rom that was stable enough that I don't have to fullwipe and full install every few days. And I'm doing this all without *****ing for the most part. Now that I'm in trouble and seeking assistance, I get kicked around?
there is someone who posted links in the Cleanote thread. try your luck
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=37661789&postcount=2047
EDIT: links dont work..
Well its upto you to save the rom you downloaded because once the dev stops the support. The links are removed. Happened to me as well. Now i just keep that rom on my pc or cloud.
I also didnt get the reason why a working rom needs to be removed even if it is not supported. We can ourself adjust it according to the need.
I would suggest you to search the file hosting sites for such roms oe download it via torrent if u are lucky enough to get the seeds.
I was so in love of criskelos rom. But same happened to his thread.

[HELP THREAD] Samsung Note 4 T-Mobile ~| Noob Friendly |~| All Questions Welcome |~

Hey everyone, I recall a thread like this from my previous beloved, Galaxy S 4 by @Skipjacks, and I figured the Note 4 also deserves such a thread. It did very well there, still active, and I was hoping we could have such a nice environment here as well. I'm hoping this will lead to less cluttered in Development Threads and Q&A Forum. An information bank for EVERYONE and ALL level of android knowledge
If you are not familiar with XDA and what is required of you as a brand new user (Or simply need a refresher), I will advice you start HERE
The quickest way to annoy anyone here is by not SEARCHING. Make "Search" your best friend. It is located at the right side of your screen, you simply cannot miss it. If you do not know how to properly search on XDA, here is a simple guide line. Simply put in a keyword, press enter, and results will pop up. From there skim to see which pertain to what you are concern with and move on from there. You are wondering about battery life? Type in battery and see what pops up. You have wifi issue? Simply type in wifi and see what pop up. Its very, very easy.
Another quick way to annoy anyone on here, is by not reading atleast the last 20 posts. Odds are, your concern have been addressed most likely. A quick skim is always good!
I hope this thread will be a Help and Be Help type of things. I always believe in paying it forth.
ASK ANY QUESTION HERE​
There is no such thing as a stupid question! You feel it is a stupid question, simply look away and do not answer! No NOOB bashing. No encouraging NOOB bashing! If everyone do their part, this could be successful!​
All things Samsung Galaxy Note 4, Trltetmo​

I never could get heimdall to work properly in linux mint. It seems like you are having issues too.
The only suggestion I can make is to set your PC to dual boot Windows and Linux for occasions like this where emulation won't work for you.
In the meantime, perhaps you could use a friend or relatives computer to ODIN a fresh ANK4 setup.
Yeah its a Odin flash issue. You may be able to just Odin flash TWRP. Again and it could be fixed. Also let me know if you need the files I can throw them up on my mega.

I've searched with google, reddit, this forum, and android central (though, for some reason I only had access to one page of results) and I can't find a direct answer, so I would greatly appreciate some help.
FoxFi does not work for WiFi with the Note 4 on T-Mobile, but can anyone verify that I could still USB tether directly into my PC and use the internet on my PC and have it access mobile data, instead of tether data? I don't have Note 4 or T-Mobile to test yet, and knowing if this works helps determine my plan decision. I wish to stay unrooted for now, and would probably use 20GB-ish a month.
Maybe this is a stupid question, because FoxFi says USB/Bluetooth tethering is supported on all phones. And the description on Google Play says T-Mobile users should use USB tethering for it to work, so it sounds like it should. Yet, I've still not seen anyone definitively state that they've successfully used FoxFi USB tethering with the Note 4 on T-Mobile and specifically not use tether data. I've found plenty of direct statements from other carrier users, and general statements of USB tethering works, but nothing I can directly connect to Note 4/T-Mobile.
I posted this in a FoxFi thread a few days ago with additional questions, but haven't gotten a response yet: Does FoxFi Work? Post #14 If you answer here, I'll update that thread, or vice versa.
Any help would be greatly appreciated, thank you! Happy New Year!

Is there a guide on how to safely remove system apps? I am rooted already.

[Q] Finally decided to root my note 3

Long time xda fan, first time poster. So, I have a bone stock AT&T Galaxy Note 3 N900AUCUEOC1 running lollipop 5.0. For about a year now I've been contemplating rooting it but I'm worried I'm gonna jack my phone up. Besides replacing my lcd screen I haven't done really too much with it. This will be my first attempt at rooting any phone and I wanted to ask a few questions to get some clarification and direction.
First, what currently is the easiest way to root a droid for someone that doesn't speak a lick of tech?
I've read 10 different ways but if anyone would know, its you guys. Does Kingo work with what I have?
What do I need to do prior to root? I.e, what do I need to download?
Also, could you recommend a decent ROM? Whats a good backup app that will actually work?
Lastly, I have a game ive been playing for a couple years and I dont sign in, it recognizes my phone or something, its on my sd card but will i lose it when I wipe my phone? Thanks in advance for your time.
Cassidy
I would never discourage some one from rooting their phone, however, you have chosen a hard place to start. You need to become familiar with odin, and /or safetrap. There are great instructions already posted, but unless you have a working knowledge of Odin, you are going to cause yourself a great deal of headache.
I suggest finding a friend who has done it, and have them walk you through it the first time.
By the way, I have been rooting Android phone since the original Motorola Droid. And I have this one rooted. But I not so easy for people new to the process.
Any way you go, I hope it works great for you!

You are Lollipop so you WILL need to do all four files (first picture shows, if you try the All-In-One you will have problems). I'm on here everyday so if you need any help post here or send a message. I don't mind helping and NO, you do not have to donate to me.
Thanks a bunch Rooted! Thats gonna simplify thing a bunch, I really hope. Im sure id be bricked right now if my girl didnt catch me getting ready to do it and beat me up, she bought it for me on my bday. Needless to say she didnt approve. Ha. Ill wait till tomorrow i think. But I appreciate your help, you're a good man.
