Hi guys,
I wanted to root my samsung galaxy s5 at&t (sm-g900a) (android version: 5.0) so I could re-calibrate the battery. However after hours of research I myself have come to the conclusion that it is impossible. So in a last ditch attempt to try this incredible task I am posting here to find out once and for all is it impossible.
Thanks in advance.
(PS: If it is possible could anyone help me or link me to a guide, however I doubt it is)
At this point its doubtful, maybe the method for doing it to the Snapdragon S7's would work. Not sure if the Engineer file is device specific.

HI there,
Trying to unlock and root my new galaxy tab 10.1 (model GT-P7510). I've followed the instructions where it requires to push the samsung_galaxy.root.zip file into the sdcard but when rebooting into recovery mode, it does not detect / display the file on the sdcard. I would appreciate any help on whether or not it's even possible to perform such operations.
THank you.
how to find out if you have an I/O edition or retail ?
Retail TAB
P7510 IS THE RETAIL VERSION
I know, I have one. I am also trying to figure out how to root this bad boy. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

I've read the threads, etc... I CAN'T FIND a definitive
HOW TO ROOT A RETAIL SAMSUNG TAB P7510.
This being one that is WiFi only... Has no cell=phone affiliation AND
an updated rooting guide that was authored/update around June of 2011 (when the P7510 retail was released)
Different variants of the SGT have been around for a while and I don't want to brick my tab using rooting methods for older/different tabs.
So, I ask the question again. Can anyone point me to a rooting guide for the
10.1 INCH (WIFI ONLY) MODEL P7510 RETAIL SAMSUNG GALAXY TAB ??
And please don't say "try searching the threads"...
I HAVE!!! Perhaps I'm just to stupid to find anything that specifically addresses my question?!?
Any meaningful HELP would greatly be appreciated!

I would like to second the request, and the sentiment.
GalaxyTabHacks.com has an article/video on the process.

I know this is an older thread but it covers what I am looking for. I didn't find that the answer provided in here as the last post suggested was the solution. That video and how to is for rooting the device not unlocking the boot loader.
Does anyone know if you can unlock the boot loader for the non Google I/O GT-P7510 devices?
I really want to try out the latest CM9 image but I also don't want to never be able to go back on the upgrade path from Samsung.
I am hoping someone has a solution to unlock the boot loader for this non Google IO "p4wifi" device.
Could someone point me to a root / rom that works for the i800 (Verizon Wireless 3G model, build i800.0.3 on android 2.3.5)
I see a bunch of stuff on this site but alot of it is for completely different models or SGT's that were already unlocked!
Really want to get out of this TouchWiz nightmare and move into something a little more modern, plllleeeeaaassse help
I would also like to know how to do this, its my girlfriends tab and she wants to root it. Any one plz thanks
Hello guys,
I've been using XDA for a long time to figure out problems related to my devices. Recently I bought Samsung Galaxy S III LTE in Pakistan, having baseband I9305XXBMA2.
I searched a lot to find any link to give me a stock 4.3 update for my phone but I couldn't get one.
I shall be really greatful if you could let me know any way to update it, but seriously I don't want to root my phone. But if rooting is the only option to be left, please let me know.
Thanking you in advance.

Hi
Your current firmware allows you to root the phone easily, and you can then use Mobile Odin to upgrade to 4.3 without losing root. Stock 4.3 firmware has Knox bootloader which prevents you from rooting, modding etc. I would advise that you search XDA for 4.3 discussion to learn a bit more about Knox bootloader.
Since you are not interested in rooting, search for your region's 4.3 firmware here:
1) http://www.sammobile.com
2) http://samsung-updates.com/device/?id=GT-I9305
You need to understand that you cannot downgrade from 4.3 firmware without tripping Knox flag.
Good luck.
Hi Guys,
Need a bit of advise - I have acquired a Samsung Galaxy Ace, and the idea is to let the mother in law have it just to see if she can get on with a smartphone.
I have unlocked it, and had a bit of a play with it (it is currently running stock Android 2.3.5) and I had forgot how un user friendly the older versions of Android were (especially the Samsung based one's).
Anyway, I am looking for a more up to date ROM (maybe something similar to one of the newer Samsungs) which is easier to use etc.
Any help or advise would be appreciated.
Hey all,
First post here and new member purely because I want to explore the world of rooting my Android device
I have researched rooting the Note 5 (verizon) on multiple pages and within this thread. I am not a technical person so I cannot comprehend most of this stuff. But I am willing to learn! I know its basically unlocking your phone for maximum control over the device. I get confused with most of the lingo like ROM, Kernel, Flashing, knox etc. Can any one explain these terms to me?
I am looking for a beginner way to root with the lowest change for a soft brick or bricked phone. Can someone explain a way this is possible in layman's terms? Again I am a beginner and know little about technical info, so a basic layout would be most helpful.
I am also wonderin gif the Marshmallow 6.0.1 update can be rooted. I was looking to update to current version, but i will hold off if it can't be.
I also apologize if this is the wrong place to post the thread, I wasn't sure where I am supposed to.
Any help is appreciated!
