I just got a popup to do a system update..before I do it, I want to know if this will un-root me?
No. But to be safe. Update the Kies without connecting your device to the pc. I am doing so atm.
I have tried to install this update several times and it is never successful.
Is their a Sprint software update file in this site for a rooted Galaxy tab?

Which version of Kies are you running to connect to the Sprint Tab?
I am not sure I even run kies. I rooted my phone with One Click Root. HOW DO i find out if I have this app?

I need some help. I have a verizon galaxy tab thats rooted and i upgraded to the sprint gb rooted update. Only reason i was using it was for the netflix. Now netflix is working on 2.2 for us so i used heimdall to stock. Success. But now my tab says i have 3g but when i go to the market or web it goes away. I looked in settings and under network it says unknown. Isnt it suppose to verizon there?? Can anyone tell me how to get data back working??
i would try flashing all the way back to the dj11 firmware. then, see if you can get the OTA update to ec02. that might fix it. otherwise, i'm guessing you need to wipe wipe wipe, and reflash stock, then wipe a few more times. sometimes you get artifacts from past installs. especially if you still have a CWM recovery, and other install packages on your sd card.
you could also try flashing to one of boushh's or oldmacnut's kernels, and then go from there to stock. see if that resets the radio/modem issue.
I called them(verizon) and they said somehow they computer wouldn't activate my data connection so that's why it was doing that and he fixed it for me....weird lol

Not sure which version it is V9? But I have been delaying it and delaying it for a few weeks and its starting to bug me. Is there a way to keep root through this yet? same as MT had for V8 using the verizon manual .tot program?
Check this thread. I have been avoiding the update as well, but it seems to have gotten more "insistent" of late.
I am downgrading using LNGPST, updating and then I plan to use this technique for root. Don't think you will end up with CWM, but I am not certain that I fully enjoy the value of CWM. Maybe I am just too new.

Hey guys, my phone keeps downloading that stupid update and then failing to install it, whats the proper way to get around this either to block it or to upgrade and keep root?
thanks!
To stop the update freeze the software updater. It may break blue tooth.
And everything for v8 works for v9. All aio's

So I need to...
1. install stock rom
2. Unroot
3. Do the verizon OTA to Z9
4. Reroot
5. CWM?
You can go this route.

After I used the tot I did a factory reset and then went to using the Easy Aio for v8 v9.

If you have cwm installed the ota will fail everytime. easiest method is to flash the v9 tot, then root, then cwm, then flash BO2.0. the issues come when ppl try to install cwm, ie install not taking. if that occurs, let me know and I can direct you on how to install cwm from the phone using terminal emulator.
the stock rom is not as efficient as BO. Plus no OC'ing and not as much tweaking. Most tweaks won't work OOB. Our stock rom doesn't have boot script support (init.d support) all scripts will need to be manually run at boot. battery life is different and tons of bloatware.

kk. My question was in order to flash the v9 tot do I need to unroot and install the stock v8 rom first? Or can the v9 tot be installed while rooted and using MT's ROM?
Yes. You can flash a tot over anything.
You will lose root and cwm.

Go to sammobile.com. you have to register but it's free. You can get the stock roms there. You'll download a zip file. Use 7-zip to extract the .tar.md5 file and use that in odin. Use odin v1.85.

Odin does recognize your device? What happens when you try to flash?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using xda app-developers app
I have attached a print screen of what happens.
I can't see but I assume you have auto reboot checked. If so,I would redownload the rom file. It could be a bad download.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using xda app-developers app
Yes I have auto reboot checked. I have already re-downloaded the file, same result.
Idk, sounds like you tried everything I would do. It's sounding like it's internal hardware failure. Can you get into recovery mode? I assume not. But if you can try a factory reset.

Hey JD
Am back up and running!! you would never guess what the issue was. I was using a Mac Pro, which had windows installed on it using VMWare Fusion. So then i decided to try a PC since Odin does not work on Mac and wouldn't you know it WORKED!! now all i need to do is fined the best way to root my Samsung Galaxy 8.9 LTE (SGH-I957R) Rogers. Any ideas? Thanks for all the help you provided
Hey JD
I figured it out, you would never guess what the issue was. I was using a Mac Book Pro, which running windows instead of using a windows PC. So i decided to try using a PC and it worked.. Thanks for all your help.... Now what is the best way you suggest to root my Samsung Galaxy Tab 8.9 LTE (SGH-I957R) Rogers?

You'll need to put a custom recovery on your tab using Odin. Flash it just like the stock rom. Then you'll need to flash superuser-busy box thru the custom recovery. Download that on you tab. I have the files on dev host and I'll post links for you when I get on my pc.
Recovery. http://d-h.st/fqw
Supersu. http://d-h.st/vjq
Use install in twrp (the recovery) to install super user. Then boot, once booted look for super su in your apps and click on it. It will update to the latest version. You'll be rooted.

Might get more help over in Q&A, but I would use the method here to return to stock mj5 and then ota update to nb4 then root and such from there.

I didn't have any problem with X-Note (which is now my daily ROM) or Dynamic, but I couldn't restore my stock backup - until I deleted the slot and made the data space larger. Check your sizes.
The only differance between the two phones is that my other note 3 has none of the at&t apps that they put on there. Maybe thats what the problem is . But the other one i had the stock rom and two other roms on it at one time and had no problem .
