Database Develop

So rooting and flashing roms on sprint tab...

I have several smart phones and I have been able to root and flash roms now so far it seems like working on the tab is not as easy.... Is this true? im afraid of bricking it.... But is it worth rooting it?
Sent from my SPH-P100 using XDA App

from what I can gather on these boards thus far is that we went with the wrong carrier (sprint) for the tab, since tmobile seems to have more development going for it, AND at this point I am not seeing much advantage to rooting anyways. Let me know if you digested the boards differently as this is the only thing that is stopping me from rooting as well

well its because sprint is cdma and tmobile is gms which is found everywhere in the world... i am still within 30 days so i could return it, and I am thinking about switching to tmo anyway maybe going with the streak 7 as it has the tegra 2 processor
Thanks for replying buddy.

Hey guys, this might help you. Did a quick video on it and tested it myself on a Sprint tab, worked fine

Those How To's are AWESOME! Thanks! NO ONE has broken it down for we (the sad and lonely) CDMA SGT owners...
The question remains, however: Is it worth it?
So far, my answer is hell to thuh naw... With so many reports of brickage, and so little dev work being done, keeping the CDMA SGT stock seems to be the only way to go. I received my Tab for Christmas from a gorgeous santa (who also recently gave me another gift, my daughter (haven't rooted that device yet, either)) against my suggestions to wait (to get me a Tab, not to have my daughter). A few short months later, here we are:
XOOM dominates, SGT 2 and 10.1 (along with TONS of other Tabs) are announced and with Samsung's reputation for damn near NEVER updating their device's OS' (KIES SUCKS!), I'm thinking the SGT will never see the light of Honeycomb, which really is the only worthwhile upgrade for the device. As other tabs gain popularity, the dev work for the SGT decreases, with more and more messages like "This is the last update to this ROM, as I just got a XOOM".
So here I sit, with an oversized phone that can't make calls, watching Tron Legacy over and over while flashin' anything and everything on my EVO, longing for a XOOM...
That being said, anyone HATE the XOOM, and wanna' trade for an SGT? The SGT RULES!

thanks for the links, this makes a lot of sense to me, its just like flash an android phone. Thanks a bunch

so general question, when doing the custom recovery on the sprint tab, if samsung/sprint releases the upgrade to 2.4 / 3.0 (god willing), will that upgrade have any impact on the custom recovery, or are the mutually exclusive?

So far, this has been a bust for me since I've been completely incapable of syncing with Kies. I've searched and tried every possible solution I could find to no avail.

Dear dcogen,
I was able to verify that I have an adb connection, now when I downloaded the sprint kernel the file says flash_image_VZW_zImage.zip is this the correct one?
Also your guide says to install CWM for your tab version but I didnt find one for sprint, there are version for Verizon, ATT and TMO thats it.
I just dont want to end up with a brick
Thanks for your help

can we use roms from other models if we find a way to not flash the wrong modem as part of the process?

+ 1 for working roms for sprint?
Help wanted!
Ice cream/beer money on me!!

+2 i want a sprint tab rom to use it on cricket and enable the phone portion.
It's the phone portion I need to figure out.

I rooted but not sure why no real reason to on a sprint tab to root cant find any wireless tether apps that will work

i rooted to get rid of some sprint crap bloatware

On the Sprint SGT you need to use New PC Studio instead of Kies. Follow the instruction exactly, but replace with NPC. Worked like a charm!

Pardon me for coming late to the party. Have been trying to root my Sprint (CDMA) tab for months. All fail for one reason or another (Z4Root doesn't work, Kies doesn't work on my Win 7 PC, SuperOneClick comes up as a virus and requires the use of Kies, PCStudio can be downloaded from a site that Firefox says is untrustworthy). I've spent endless hours reading msg boards and how-tos. i'm a resonably savy computer user. Is there a set of intnructions to root a Sprint-branded Tab anywhere???

This isnt the DEV Forum... It is Q&A. Retard.

sticking to att note 3

Ok so I purchased note 3 at full retail price from att without doing any research. I need custom rom for sure. So should return the att version and get the tmobile version and unlock or do I have some hope of a dev figuring it out. What would you guys have me do. Plz dont say endure master wayne.

I'd return the ATT version and buy the unlocked version

Is there any downside to this other than the voided warranty which is basic. Plz I need some more opinions on this topic any input will be much appreciated even if it is to return it completely and switch to walkie talkie.

If you need something now return it for the T Mobile, but it will void your warranty. The current AT&T root de la vega doesn't void your warranty because it doesn't trip the knox flag, but there are no custom roms. I would bet at some point we will be able to load safestrap with the root de la vega and be able to run custom roms without breaking the warranty on AT&T models, but safestrap is a little more limited than really flashing a ROM and it isn't done yet so there is no guarantee. If they do unlock the AT&T bootloader and we can do a real ROM flash, that will also probably void the warranty and will probably trip the knox flag .. but none of that is known for sure right now or if it will ever be done.
It really depends how fast you need to be able to flash it and how much your warranty matters to you.

I have faith. Where there is a will there is a way. There is too much of a demand for it. Either att will unlock it or the bounty will motivate a dev(s) to figure it out.

Because no one cared about that phone

Ya know I thought this same thing, but you can modify just about everything through Xposed/wanam you could with a custom rom (status bar icon colors, notification background trans, remove carrier label, battery icon, hold back to kill app, toggle background colors, toggle text colors and the list goes on and on. Even on power saving mode this hardware/phone blows the most modded to the max note 2 out of the water.

Well for starters don't title your thread like an 8 year old who is on fire, that's just rude.
Secondly, the "more opinions" that you desire are discussed over and over in vast depth and in a varitable cornucopia of considerations in nearly every thread on this forum. The pros and cons of tmo now - vs- att later is proposed to a nauseating degree. In other words, spend 30 minutes reading and you will get more than the few comments that you ask for.
Thirdly, decide concretely if what you want from your phone can only be achieved through a custom recovery and rom. There are, as previously stated, numerous ways to change a lot about this phone even with the locked bootloader, but you should seriously consider the strong possibility that it will never be unlocked.
And lastly, take a minute to research the cons of using a tmo note on the att network... There may be none, they may be vast.
Read, read, read.

Depends on how fast you need to be able to flash a custom ROM. (Though I don't really understand an absolute NEED to flash a custom ROM as opposed to just WANTING to flash one.) If you need it quickly, return it, eat the $35 restock fee and buy it unlocked.
Out of morbid curiosity, why do you NEED to put a custom ROM on this? As long as we have root you can do almost anything. Just my opinion.

I would say eventually there will be a custom ROM and boot loader unlock however not today or tomorrow these things take time. If you dont have patiencr, aren't willing to out money toward developers to build , or do some developing yourself maybe iPhone is a better route.
Not sure about about T-Mobile and its custom ROMs , I wouldn't rush into flashing ROMs til they been tested because you will be doing a lot of debugging

You guys r perfectly right, dam my brain does not work sometimes when I need something right away. I just dont wanna be stuck with touchwiz for too long bcz I ll get tired of it quick. But the tw on note 3 is bearable for me until something gets worked out so I will just stick to what I have. I didnt even think about xposed at all most of the features i need r hopefully there. Thanks everyone for ur opinions cause u guys really helped me out. So I will be rooting my device tmorrow. Wish me lucks.

Well I'm in the same boat as you, I just bought the att n3 and didn't do my due diligence and am now considering taking it back for the tmo n3.
Im leaning towards keeping it for 3 reasons...
1. I have faith that the bootloader will be unlocked by some very ingenious man who, upon completion, shall drink copious amounts of beer on my dime.
2. I've heard all the success stories of tmo on att network and I'm left with doubt that I will have as good of coverage that I want/need/demand/deserve given my station in life.
3. I don't think that I can't make my phone 99% perfect with root + exposed framework and all that comes out of that. Though I am a flashaholic, I'm seeing less and less need to do so with this device. It has all the features I want and once I'm rooted I can freeze any bloat ware whilst tweaking my personal particulars.
Now make a personal assessment about what you want/need from your device and put some of personal thought into it.
And edit the title of your post already.

If you get sick of touchwiz there are plenty of other launchers out there that will theme your TW to look like AOSP/AOKP ect. :good:

sticking to the att note 3
Yea I m sticking to to att version of note 3. I ll work with touchwiz for now. Hopefully something happens with the bootloader. Thanks everyone.

If I were you id return it get the tmobile one. If your within the window eat the $35 to have the reassurance of not having to hope for an unlocked bootloader. Are you going to flash roms? Maybe yes maybe no. Will there be a bootloader unlock / exploit? Maybe yes maybe no. But for $35 id pay that to have an option to whether I choose to or not. For me I returned my tmobile note 3 purchased out right cause I bought my friends for $600. For $150 its not worth it

Not going to be a popular opinion here, but here it goes anyway. When I first started using Android phones, I was switching ROMs almost every other day. Lately I've gotten bored with it. I haven't loaded a custom rom on my last 3 phones. As long as I can root it, I'm good to go. As was said earlier in this thread, most of the mods that customs offer can be done yourself with a little work (and without the minor bugs that always come with custom roms). I just don't see a compelling reason to switch roms at this point. Even if you hate TW, just change your launcher (first thing I always do anyway).
Now, there are SOME reasons to hope the bootloader gets unlocked. Swapping out kernals, radios, etc. But none of that is really essential for me.
I came to this phone knowing full well (having researched) the bootloader was locked and further, being sort of a niche device, developer support might be light (although we lucked out with DG). But I knew it would get rooted, and that was enough for me.
My advice would be, if you absolutely must have custom roms, return it and get the tmo. We may well never get the bootloader unlocked and if that is a must for you, then it seems you have little choice.

switched to tmobile.
Yea I couldnt take it anymore. I went ahead and jumped out the window. Got the tmobile and got it unlocked and rooted. So far everything is working amazing. Lte at 15 mb but I think its bcz of the area. I was scared that I would be getting ****ty service but this is working out better than I thought. I am at 3 to 4 bars all the time. Havent seen it drop yet. I originally bought it retail price so it makes sense for me to do this.

N9005 stock rom/firmware

Did my search but nothing found! (Maybe I didn't try hard enough?) I'm questioning the rom/firmware gurus on this one.
I previously owned a N9005 variant and loved the rom! Now I was at At&t messing with the Note 3 N900A and its BLOATED! Now I do know it'll probably require a root but is it possible to install the N9005 version of android on the N900A. Yes there is a difference!

You can't just use the 9005 ROM, you have to have a ported ROM. Xnote over in the development section is based off the international version and it's what I use. And yes, your right. There is a huge difference lol

Sweet, thanks for the response. I knew it would need to be ported over but I'll check Xnote out!
Anyone familiar with Straight talk sim cards as in is there two different micro sims? (Grey and Blue?)

Sorry I can't tell you the difference in SIM cards. But can you tell me some software differences you found between the 9005 and 900A?

I had a Czech variant of the N9005. I couldn't pick up At&t 4G/LTE because of software restrictions but I can say. It ran a lot cleaner. Everything was a lot more responsive. I'm thinking the N900A, why it's backed up a little because of its bloatware from hell and back! When I mentioned about the difference earlier in my posting. It dawned on me that some of those things I liked on the N9005 was part of the LTE features and the N900A doesn't have those features. Impossible to get but I did notice which I miss is when you hold the power button on the N9005. A menu appears and give you several options. The N900A doesn't give you those options. Only very little options which I miss.
When texting, At&t has this symbol that appears to the left of the suggestive would you may be typing. Annoying as hell but the N9005 doesn't have it. Another reasons why I'm after that copy.

Thanks for sharing with me. I appreciate it. For weeks I tossed and turned about getting an 9005, or a plain unlocked 9000. Finally I tried squeezing an early upgrade out of att and got an 900A for cheap. I don't regret that now thanks to your remarks. I rooted, and debloated it so it seems a lot more peppy to me now than before. I also installed xposed framework. Using Gravity box and Wanam modules gives me some user customization. Like the power menu you mention. I prefer the swype keyboard, so I don't have your annoying suggestive word issue. So the only thing I'm missing out on are some LTE features. I'm not even sure what those are, so I guess ignorance is bliss in this case lol! Thanks again for your info.

Well in the Unbranded section of the N9005. Seems like a few members have a hunch that they can get the N9005 to read At&t bands. If it comes to light. It's do-able. I will be converting back over but will just have two Note 3s, ha. Now your N900A, how does it run without that extensive amount of bloatware?
Never got used to swype but the N9005 didn't have the annoying little arrow that pops up but maybe its just me being picky.

There's nothing wrong with being picky about our features! Android wouldn't of made it this far if people weren't picky lol!
Swype will suck for the first week of use. Make sure you register and backup your information. You have to mold the dictionary to you by adding your emails, passwords, and acronyms. If I add my 12 letter long last name on a tablet dictionary, it also adds it on my phone dictionary. So feeding the dictionary knowledge is easy. People are dumbfounded when they see how quickly I swype in information. Especially email addresses. I don't think I could live anymore without my swype!
I am a HUGE fan of debloating!!! I understand why carriers put that crap there. But I hope they understand the first day I have my device, is the same day I freeze and blast there crap outta here! Who wants att wifi app constantly turning on wifi and looking for signal? What a resource hog! Who wants drive mode when they have a galaxy gear? Who wants att navigation when google maps is preinstalled? I mean come on carriers!!! Nice try! I constantly monitor wake locks, and triggers. 3/4 of my waking and running activity is gone now that I've removed bloat. I haven't hit 40k on antu benchmark yet. But I'm happy with my 36.5k stats.

Oh no no no. Not a problem at all. Just got off the phone with Straight talk. Since my Sim card is the older version. I had for my S3. It's doesn't carry the LTE compatibility. Just ordered another but while on my hunt for a decent ROM. You using stock Rom but debloated or? Asking because I'm not a real fan of XNote. I'm thinking of popping her cherry and breaking her in. (Phone's stock, not rooted yet)

Pop her cherry! Give her some kingo love and xposed framework. Don't forget to tibu her bloated butt lol!
I'm on the stock rom rooted and debloated. No custom roms and I'm more than happy with her! I am also picky. I've flashed a lot of custom roms in my day for my previous note devices. Just not the note 3 yet. It's snappy and VERY reliable/stable.

If you're easily susceptible to peer pressure, and don't want to void your warranty, please don NOT read the next sentence.
Ahh come on! no need to be scared. Just root it! You know you want too! Everyone cool is doing it!! lol!
But on a serious note (not sure if pun is intended or not), you'll love xposed framework and debloating. It might give you back that 9005 rush you had.

Hey guys, is the offical stock rom n9005 go straight forward to be installed on n900a?

Where are we at porting international ROMs?

A lot of questions are being asked in the 920F threads about T-Mobile functionality. Thought we could use a centralized thread for folks to pitch their ideas, thoughts, and solutions. Mostly we know that in call audio is borked when using on a 920T. @Goldie has made an awesome custom rom called "Alliance". And @mikeyinid is crushing it on the TMO forums, hopefully, we'll come to a solution soon.

I'd love to know more about this as well. I'm on a Canadian W8 with Telus and would really like to give @Goldie 's ROM a shot. Or at least something similar.

Guys. I know you wanna be able to run international roms, specifically Alliance, but you don't need to keep tagging us. I know goldie and his guys are looking at it, I've messed with it a bit and all I get is phone fc's. I don't know enough to be any help for this.

Time and testing! And it's way more involved than JUST the hardware. If that's the case just flash the current alliance and live without, volte, Wi-Fi calling, oh...sound during calls which no one needs in there phone. [emoji6] Remember once you port it, then guys will be b,,, itching about this and that and complaining like the devs got 10% of what they paid Samsung for this phone and stock Rom and owe them something. These same complainers are the ones that lack patients to wait for the Rom to be thoroughly tested to be as stable as possibly...I am no dev, but it doesn't take a dev to understand how time consuming a Rom like ALLIANCE is. Plus the continued support in threads for multiple devices!

These same complainers are the ones that lack patients to wait for the Rom to be thoroughly tested to be as stable as possibly...I am no dev, but it doesn't take a dev to understand how time consuming a Rom like ALLIANCE is. Plus the continued support in threads for multiple devices!

the note 3 and note 4 had issues - not the same - but issues when attempting to use international roms on TMO phones - eventally some one came up with a flashable fix that you could flash after flashing an Interntational ROM on TMO _ that is what I am hopeing for - and maybe one day someone will do it.

Not international, but the alliance rom for the Tmo S6 Edge works on my Tmo S6 with the newest Ktoonsez kernel. At this time though, we should support the guys developing in the TMO threads. They put in a lot of hard work and make a great product.

I agree wholeheartedly - but for the sheer variety of being able to flash any rom made for the S6 - I am hopeful a flashable fix will be made soon - in the meantime - alliance for the TMO S6EDGE works awesome with Ktnoonze's kernel - great rom!

Yep, everything is working on it.

any updates on this?

Just purchased Note 3, where to start??

Wow, my head is about to explode after the last hour reading different threads on here. I have some experience rooting and using Odin if needed but not sure where to begin. All I want is a less bloated rom of lollipop and runs real smooth. The stock has way too much junk I don't want. Unfortunately I got excited for a min when I saw the dark note 5 rom port but I guess that's not for at&t version because of the locked bootloader. So I looked at a few roms on here and some seem decent enough but not sure which ones I want. Like I said, I want closest thing to stock Android as possible but with the Samsung s pen features also. Also it seems to me I have to downgrade to NC2 and then do the recovery and install the roms from there?
Alot of work coming from a guy who is used to nexus and oneplus one type phones. ..

Yeah, it is a bit more complicated getting things done with this device than some others, unfortunately it seems that is the way a lot of device mfg's are headed.
Once you get the method down it isn't all that difficult to get a ROM installed.
There are 2 ROMS that work really well for me
I'm currently running, and have been for a few weeks now is a S6 Edge port from Carl1961 located HERE
The other is a Darkloard Note 4 port from sanguinevn located HERE
Not that the other few we have aren't good, it's just that these 2 give me best battery/functionality combo
Carl had just reminded me that we are currently faced with a problem that 5.1 and up is a problem for us since we have no bootloader, so we're a bit stuck on how far our fine dev's can take us.

Thanks for the reply. How do I root the 5.0 update? Is there a walk thru guide anywhere? I can't find one.
Also is there a big performance difference between this and stock? I disabled some of the stock apps but in still curious about the s6 rom you talked about
