hey guys, i unlocked my tilt 2 days ago. since then, i have only been able to place 1 outgoing call, and then i have to restart the phone. this is starting to get very annoying. there is no ringer, no volume, nothing.
Before you tell me to reflash my radio, i did. like 20 times. nothing
Whoever wrote that unlocking program messed up BIG time.....
Halp!
lol. rotfl..haha..sorry man.. just read read read that's all I can say.
why waste your energy typing? if you dont have anything worthwile to suggest, then GTFO
Change your Radio. The radio included in your new ROM does not the right one. do i search and find a compatible radio and it will work

thx capitan obvious!!! did you read my original post? i tried EVERY radio!!
You're not very polite
Besides, the unlocker worked perfectly for many many many people here, so i would not say that Olipro messed around here.but anyways...
did you reflash the same Radio Version all the time or did you try different ones?? I had Versions with which the same problem occured, no voice, no ringer, no sounds. 1.64.08.21 worked for me

Its really funny how you are the only individual that flashing the radio didn't help. And before you go talking about OLI, jocky and the likes that made the program so you could get rid of the bloat and flash works of art that this forum provides, I'd look inward and see if you might have done something wrong.
You know what, Im gonna make it real easy. If you have a 6.1 rom then you need a 6.1 radio. Same goes for 6.0. However some cooked roms are at$t specific and you have to have a at$t radio. A little more information such as the radio you are using and the rom would be really helpful.
haha simultanuous post and NO, your original post does NOT tell WHICH Radio Versions you tried...

Ok, why did you try to change radios? That rom comes with 1.64.08.21. Did you HR at the "Tap here to align" screen prior to setting up all your apps? Have you HR since this happened to see if it fixed it?

If ur pissed off at him , why are u impolite to me?
Listen and listen good...
YOU RADIO IS INCOMPATIBLE (means not compatible; not the right one).
Find a Compatible Radio that matches your dam ROM (whatever the f that is) READ READ and READ again..and find it.
There are experts and know 30000% more than u on this site..respect their help or dont post anymore.
Worst case scenario...revert back to your old ROM that work and leave us in peace

The unlockers have been used successfully time and time again. However, responsibility for it's results lie within your ability to accept failure and to follow through all the steps properly.
Continuing to lay blame on others is quickly making you lose the people trying to help you.

Holy Hell. The rom you pointed to came with a radio, that I know for a fact works. Why did you try to change radios? If it didnt work straight out of the box then you have a bad flash and the radio section is bad.
Edit:
I did feel bad for you and decided to come back and help but you wont listen so have fun playing with the nice new shiny brick you call a phone. You could get better reception from 2 cups and a string before I come back to help. I'm done.

1. no idea what my original ROM was, now im running "CE OS 5.219202 (build 19202 dutty's) v6.1
2. i used the olipro one
3. it said "phone unlocked" so im guessing it worked.
im not sure if i stated this before, i was running dutty's ROM for 2 weeks, and just recently (sunday) unlocked it.
for all those telling me to read the stickies, there is only one relevant to my situation, and it tells you to try a different radio. i did that. many times.
if i cant fix it, im selling this POS and getting an iphone
Hi
I'm new to forums. But I like this one. People are discussing stuff instead of complaining about their devices. I'm learning a lot. But I still need an answer to my question. And I don't think it's very complex. So I thought maybe I'm posting it wrong. Is there anything else one should do to get there post replied to. Like tagging it in some way. It's not a complaint. I really wanna know to be able ro enjoy the forum fully.
Cheers
You don't need to do anything special. What is your question?
Oh cool
Hi
Thank you very much indeed for replying. I was just wondering if it was safe to update a rooted galaxy 8.9. I got the update message in my settings so it's a proper factory official update but I've never done it before so I was a bit worried after having read about some bricked phones and (don't even know what bricked means but sounds scary).
And if you could answer another question as well please that would be really nice.
Recently my tablet crashed in a weird way so I had to reinstall every single application on my tablet. After the crash every single app was force closing and it asked me for the date and the region. Since then it crashes not very often but regularly. So I thought maybe I need to do a hard reset or even reflash the rom. But now, as far as understand, updating my firmware should sort it out for me. Am I right in thinking so?
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
I have not heard of anyone who has bricked their gt8.9 updating a rooted device. You possible loose root when you update, but you can just flash the root.zip again. In worst case you end up with a soft brick, this can be fixed with flashing stock firmware with Odin.
If you are having random crashes, i would start with factory reset. Please dont forget to backup before, because factory reset will delete everything on your tablet.
Update to latest version. Latest versions are a lot better then early builds.
Hope this helps.
Thank you very much indeed.
Will I be alright following the instructions in this forum's guide on how to use the ODIN?

Yes, but i don't think you are going to need Odin. Just click update. If you get any problems, then let us know and I'm sure that there is someone here who will help you restore stock firmware if needed.
This thread has nothing to do with me and I have nothing to contribute other than to say that you're a class act, poisike. Too many people on XDA think it's OK to be rude to newcomers and that obnoxious comments about using search add value to the board. +6 internets to you.

What exactly is the "Odin ML2?" Is that the leaked version that we already have root for? The one we don't have root for is the OTA version, which has nothing to do with Odin. Yet another pointless thread.

First off there's no need to be a ****. You are correct that we don't have root for ML2, or the OTA version as you refer to it. The point of this thread is to figure out a way to get root which I think everybody would appreciate, so no need to give the guy grief.
Secondly, while most people received the update to ML2 as an OTA, there were 2 users here who were able to find and post complete Odin packages for ML2 (see this thread and this one), so yes, this thread has everything to do with Odin and rooting ML2. There are summaries of all the official AT&T firmwares in this thread with links to most of the important stuff. Please at least do a search before invalidating somebody who is trying to help the community.

Thanks for taking the lead on trying to figure out root, I think a good starting point might be a list of all the root methods that others have tried and failed so we don't get people duplicating work that we already know doesn't work. I'll take a crack at putting that list together this weekend. It's nice to have a dev working with the i537.
The only thing I'm trying to invalidate is the need for yet another thread about this. There's several already (like this one: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2576460) that could have been used to keep everything consolidated instead of spread all over the forum. I also had a difficult time understanding just what the OP is saying as the grammar is not the best. This post seems more like an exercise in cheerleading than a serious attempt. Regardless, since there is so much confusion regarding the OTA and the leaked versions of ML2 I think it only prudent to be clear when posting anything about either one. This thread was definitely not clear.

Let me know what I can do to help out on my end. Really want to get this rolling so we can move forward with 4.3 compatible SS Roms. However, should we wait a little while for news on the 4.4.2 KK that would be pushed out? I feel like we might end up pouring efforts into 4.3 ML2 and boom, KK gets pushed. Either way I'll try to help in any way possible.

Ok, so I'm not going to argue with you because as I've seen in other threads you really get worked up. By I will try to clarify what the OP is trying to do because there are probably others that are unclear on what he is trying to do.
The other root threads for ML2 focus on using existing root methods to try to root ML2, the purpose of this thread is to develop a completely new root method. The idea is to take the ML2 Odin files and decompile them. Once the files are decompiled he's going to try to inject root into it, and recompile it so we can flash it to our phones.
If this works it would be a lot more simple for the end user than most of the other root methods (except for Active Root, obviously). Additionally if he is able to achieve this, it might be a good idea to try to replace the ML2 bootloader with the MI2 bootloader since it would allow users to be able to downgrade to MF1 and MF2 or MF3 if we ever figure out a way to get that back on the phone. Basically it seems like the most "open" bootloader.
I think this is a definitely a worthwhile effort since it is probably our only chance of getting root on ML2 and a worthwhile thread since it consolidates all the information for this specific root method in one thread. Let me know if there's anything I can do to help.
I personally think that this is a better approach and, depending how it is written, this could survive 4.4 update, seeing how past root approaches were more or less overlays or hijacks, if you will, with it written into the package, it would seem to me, have a better probability to survive.
Also, on another note, no need to disparage someone who is willing to try, a lot of the Roms and roots, on XDA, were written by someone, whose main language is not English.

I have an i537 already on ML2 here that I don't use at the moment. We can use it to test installs as long as devs here would help me if I have trouble restoring it (should something go wrong with a bad install).

Actually, the OP is from New York. When relating things of a technical nature it is very important to be clear and precise. These forums are littered with posts from people who either could not follow directions or who followed directions that were unclear and ended up causing a problem with their phones. If the OP has difficulty with English then perhaps he should enlist the aid of someone better suited to be providing technical explanations or directions for us to follow. That's not a knock on the OP's ability to pull this off, just on his ability to present it clearly and understandably. I was a magazine technical editor for many years, so I might be a little sensitive in this area. I've seen a lot of posts by people who were brilliant at figuring stuff out in here, but when it came time to put the actions into words there was much confusion about the processes they were explaining. It is very difficult to write technical material for a broad audience of varying technical abilities. When writing technically, one should always assume that the readers are less savvy and tailor the information to their level, not that of the writer's. So many problems in here would be minimized if developers would remember that the majority of people need to be walked through things step by step instead of assuming that they already know all about the process. Just my $.02.
Oh, I know he is from N.Y. I was being general in nature, the English as a second language part, been too much of deriding in here, when sentence structure isn't to someone's standards, which translators don't do.
As far as the OP is concerned, yes it could have been a little more concise, but he was only saying what he was trying to do, which a lot of people understood, when it's time for the finished product, that's where it should be concise.
Just IMO.

Now I know about rooting and that I can't do it because of the update Wishing you guys the best of luck with this.

I did a factory reset to my 4.3 (through Samsung while unrooted) and it downgraded to 4.2.2. I don't know if yours can do the same now that it's rooted, or even if it's meant to do that (when I factory reset my tablet it reset to a blank ROM of the same version it was on), but that could be worth a try.

OP: You could dual boot your regular computer if you wanted a better performing linux machine, but I'm sure you know that.
I have the i9295 but I think it would be good the S4A as a whole if we could get more root users. If you need help with anything that needs to be done on a linux computer that yours is struggling to do, let me know. I'm happy to help!
@ tiskael
Oh I never did root my phone, that's what I was saying. I didn't even know what it was at first. So now I know about it and want to root but since I updated, I can't. So you think if I do a factory reset I can get root? I am willing to try and go back to 4.2.2 and then just update when there is a root method for ml2 4.3. How would I do a factory reset? Sorry, like I said, I'm knew to all this.

Oh, right, I misread your original post, sorry. You *may* be sent back to the version your device shipped with - I was on my i9295, I wasn't on my Bauhn tablet though. A factory reset does mean that it's set back to the way it was in the factory, so it should do. It would be worth a try if you really want to root your phone, but I would definitely advise backing everything up either way. A ML2 root is being worked on at the moment but some other nice XDA users.

This has been asked and answered SEVERAL TIMES in SEVERAL THREADS. If you are on G900A and took the OTA to 5.0 you are screwed, no root and no downgrade. If you are on G870A (S5 Active) then you can downgrade, root, and reupgrade with keep root through muniz_ri method or flash a custom ROM like TMS5 or Alliance. I'm feeling the need to make a Lollipop 5.0 Q&A thread so new threads asking week old questions can stop cluttering up the forums.
Well since this post has obviously butthurt someone will a mod please delete. Thanks.

The options are already in the forum, one just has to attempt to read.
I read, I could not come up with a definitive answer. So I asked for help and opinions on the matter like people do in forums.

I is just my opinion but "best" option is to follow guides to install twrp. Then flash modified v17(most up to date security patch system without ads).
Then I think it's best to block the OTA program. This can be done in recovery with one of the de-bloat scripts in the forum or with a rooted file explorer. And in the event that an update is needed follow the forum for "safe methods"
