[Q] Stock T-Mobile Rom

Does ANYONE have Rotohammer's stock T-Mobile rom that they can dropbox to me or provide a working link to?
I've got a rooted Galaxy Tab 7 that the seller neglected to tell me was rooted. Did a standard factory reset back to Froyo on it, and while it doesn't appear to have harmed it, I am now very leery of trying to put a Gingerbread rom on it (specifically, Overcome, though I'm also looking at some of the others).
I don't know if it's necessary, but I would really like to flash the Tab back to unrooted stock--if that's even possible--so as to start from scratch and avoid possible disaster. Otherwise, I'll have to send this sweet little Tab back to the seller and see if I can hunt up another one.
Damn it.

[Q] Root while on AT&T Next?

So I ordered this phone yesterday and I want to try some custom roms on it but I don't know if rooting while on Next would be a safe idea. I'm positive i can root and flash a rom with no problems but if i wanna switch phones in 18 months will I still be able to?
If it just needs to be the way they shipped it, will flashing a stock rom and un-rooting do the trick?
Thank you all in advance, and keep up the great work. Happy rooting. :highfive:

I would assume you would be in the clear as long as you dont trip the Knox counter. It would be a safe bet to un-root it and such when you take it back in to trade for a new phone.

[Q] Need help asap after attempted root

Ok so, me messing up and not thinking that Samsung devices would be so difficult to root compared to others, I tried downgrading my Note 3 from 4.4.2 to 4.3 in Odin. I used 3.09. Something had happened where I thought everything was fine but now it only boots up to the screen that says "Samsung Galaxy Note 3" and nothing more before Vibrating 2 times and starting over. I can go into download mode and if I try recovery it says recovery but when I let go of the button need to do so nothing happens but a boot back to the first screen. What did I do or need to do to get back to stock 4.4.2? I have tried everything but maybe not the right combo of things. Please I know that a answer may be in a thread from way back when but this is asap. I need it for tomorrow and have been working on it and researching it for 12 hours now before posting. Thanks in advance/.

Not to kick your head while you're drowning but a little more searching before rooting that 4.4.2 att note 3 could've saved you going to best buy to reflash the official firmware. It is unrootable at the moment. Also check out a thread by carl1961. It would get you booting again but it wouldnt be the official firmware.

Ok so its been a while searching for info and i think its time to ask, is there a way to flash a custom recovery? or i did really messed up when updated to this version? i managed to root and i remember following a tutorial before i knew the bootloader thing and it says custom when it boots up.
So, is there a way? if i update should i be able to flash a custom recovery?

This phone's bootloader is completely locked down. There is simply no way to install a custom recovery (or custom kernel for that matter) no matter what version of android you are on. Sorry

that really sucks, i have the sgh-i537 and would have loved to put a custom rom on it. i rooted it as per the instructions that were posted on these forums.

This is why I will never buy an AT&T-branded phone again. I just recently acquired a T-Mobile variant Galaxy S5, and I'm loving it, installed Cyanogenmod the first chance I got and never looked back. I missed CM soooooooo much. AT&T and Verizon should never have started locking down their bootloaders (or if they must, at least give those willing and able a method to unlock it like on HTC devices) it's total B.S. and a complete death knell to their development communities

the s4 active was my first root i managed to accomplish. I have other phones lying around but i cannot try rooting any of them yet. I got:
2 sprint galaxy s3 (one has a busted port and other has issues with volume up button)
htc evo from sprint (lost it somewhere in the house and cannot find it)
my galaxy s4 active (rooted but i think i did something wrong bc my battery life is shot to hell)
cricket galaxy s5 (amoled screen is busted and currently waiting to gather funds for repairs, will consider putting cm on it as soon as i get it fixed. Will be my next project.)

Downgrade from QC1?

Hi there, was curious is there's a downgrade path that could take me back to a root-able build?
I know I can't go back to the point of loading a custom rom again, but I would just love to have some ability to debloat my phone. Been running terrible.
Thanks!

I would like to know the same thing?
I used to be a FLASH-aholic, but after moving to Sprint S7E a few years ago I sadly lost that hobby, thus locked boot-loaders...
My kid has a ATT s5 and is begging to install a custom ROM... But its been upgraded to QC1, So could someone confirm that there has been no exploit to revert back?
I tried a few threads directions, flashed a ROM, and got a notice to return the phone to ATT on boot.....
Am I beating a dead horse trying to FLASH?
