New to Root - Introductions

Hello XDA forum. My name is Chris. Not new to smartphone scene, but farely new to rooting. I have an Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 which l want to revive to use as a second screen and lm more into foldable phones. I dont like notches or holes on the screen, so l wud like that everyone wud do the phones that ZTE does. But hey.. Kapitalizm.
Im gratefull to have this access to many of the expert developers on the web.

I have been having problem with flashing Oreo build onto Tab 2 10.1 3G (Europe unlocked). Can I ask questions directly into post ( https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/rom-aosp-8-1-oreo-unlegacy-android-unofficial.4323203/ ) or I have to make a separate question in ( https://forum.xda-developers.com/f/general-questions-and-answers.456/ ). I did follow ALL instuctions, searched the forum for specific problem, searched and watched youtube videos, but didnt find any solution. Pictures attached

hello and welcome, have you tried to download it again ? did it come with an md5 checksum to verify the downloads integrity ? are you able to unpack it ?

Yes, l fixed the issue. The TWRP was too old. Flashed the newer one and it worked. l continued in the related post to the subject.

It seems that the link to the Task29.zip sometimes works sometimes doesn't.
I also got it to work after few tries (but I got it working after I post that the link is a dud, so maybe somebody already fixed it)
Anyway, I'll help by attaching it here.
ps: if anybody objects me attaching it, just tell me and I'll delete my post.
Dear gakuku.
A very happy new year to you, thanks alot for helping us out and also posting up the zip for us.
thanks again.
not dev related, therefore moved to q&a

1) This is a forum for devs/chefs to post work, not for n00bs to post crap in wrong place. Please read forum titles before posting things.
2) This is the P1000 section of XDA. You have a castrated cheaper model
Kool shall re start a the post somewhere else....
This is a site for people who want or give help to everyone mr dev or chef or what you wanna be,if you look more,you.ll see up ,in the bar ,this is a forum for galaxy tab development,this includes also a castrated cheaper model ,so if you want to help,you have 3 options:
1 MAKE A CUSTOM ROM FOR P1010 AND A LOT OF OWNERS WITH CASTRATED CHEAPER MODEL WILL BE GRATEFULL because is no a single custom rom in entire xda
2 give a link with the forum for p1010 if this is not the right one
3 work and let people ask,you are not a forum moderator

[Q] Toolkit Questions

Hello people,
I am fairly new to this forum and I have the following questions that I would appreciate help for.
1. Has any one rooted the I9305, HongKong ( ZHBLJ1 ) Build using the Toolkit? This build is not there in the Toolkit model selection options for I9305.
2. Can we flash the CWM intended for I9300 on our I9305 ?
Thanks in advance!

The most simpler way to root at the moment is this:forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2050297
As an extra you'll get a patch to security hole of exsynos syst3m.
Regarding recovery dont know for cwm but you can use goo manager from the market to flash TWRP. Just open the optios and choose something like 'install the open recovery script'.
For the case yiu are wondering, yes I am using GS3 LTE I9305.

TWRP works for the i9305? I don't think so, the official site doesn't state it and I have not seen anywhere else that it has been ported. Then again, I haven't tried it myself

I am terribly sorry. You are right. The problem was I have both GN 2 and SG3, was tired and so mixed the devices...
Regarding root method, that works on both devices.
Here is a link for the case OP wants to install CWM:
www.androidauthority.com/galaxy-s3-gt-i9305-root-clockworkmod-recovery-126605/
Here is the direct link to xda thread in dev section;
forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1914394
I will also try flashing twrp later when i find time and report back.
Regarding the toolkit, that's actually a question for the dev. I am going to ask him that by myself, I have donated version and since he has a thread in dev section of I9305 he should have some knowledge about this and what for his toolkit can actually be used with LTE SG3.

Is there anything I need to take care of before rooting using the first method? Apart from the usual backup of data? Any issues with the Camera as mentioned in that thread? (this is pertaining to our I9305 specifically).
Thank you, I will track that Toolkit thread for I9305 as well!
Managed to root it using the app by Chainfire,
still for CWM

You got link for CWM? Regarding camera problem, it doesn't have anything to do with rooting. It happens on some devices if one ticks 'patch hole' or whatever. I personally didn't have that problem but another one which maybe isn't related to the patch. It happened only once, a day ago, couldn't hear anything when calling someone or when someone was calling me. Reboot 'solved' it.
To bad that the best SG3 edition receives so little support from devs. It is probably Samsung's fault. They even change encryption method, or some parts of it, so for example with note 2 I am not able to use twrp when encrypted. In feature I am going to buy probably only nexus devices even galaxy note feature editions could pose a temptation. Bit soon we will be getting devices with 1080 resolution and hopefully there will be nexuses with bigger screen.

Yes from the link you gave, Thanks. I am having the problem that the CWM doesn't stick and I get the stock recovery back after the reboot.. They are talking about the /system/boot-recovery.p file which isn't on my phone. It has the /system/recovery-from-boot.p file. Are they the same file ?
Even I am surprised that our S3 model has such little support here. I am hoping that it will only get better as many people get their hands on this!! :good:

[Q] galaxy note shv-e160l flashing help! donator

pls help and reply my questions am noob in android and will become a pro grammer every soon just help me out in some aspects
1- can we flash SHV-160l?

3- we used octain in windows to flash windows phones is there any other software to flash from pc or its directly flashed by internal storage by linking its kernel in safe mode?
am a software engineer so help me out i will help you guys very soon just tell me its basics
regards
This version of Note has a different hardware. So this is the wrong forum (and you double posted in the other forum already).
If you search for your device in XDA you'll find many threads related to that question and with no results.
If you want to know how to flash an android device: read the tutorials that are sticky in every forum of every device. No need for the next spoon feeding...

[Help] Convert Chinese Samsung Galaxy Mega SCH-P729 to an English Firmware.

Hi Guys,
My uncle has been overseas in China recently and has bought the phone listed in the title for his kids. Unfortunately some of the phones features do not work here in Australia. He has asked me to flash some new software onto the phone so it works here.
Is it possible for this phone to be flashed?
Does any software exist that can be flashed onto this phone (CyanogenMod or any other roms).
Thanks guys.
I know this isn't the correct forum but I tried to find the closest to the forum to the phone I could find. If somebody knows a better place please direct me there.
Thanks again.
