Hi!i just made quite a deal with a galaxy tab here in Portugal. Its from the TMN operator and guess what, its filled with crappy apps that i cant remove. So i was wondering what would be the best option here regarding samsung "official" firmwares....I also havent flashed anything yet so i dont really know what all programs are necessary, but ive seen references to a ODIN app. and pit files. So i was wondering if i could get some help from the community. Also the tab suffers from sluggish web browsing and the notifications bar is also sluggish when calling up and down.
regards,
You actually don't need to install a custom firmware; All you have to do is root it (search z4root) and then use a file explorer or adb to remove the apps from the /system/app folder. Backup everything you intend to remove, because you may accidently remove something vital.
Hey thanks for answering.What about updating from samsung kies, is it still possible to update being a branded device...

Hi guys, was just about to start a similar thread, I bought a tab online from bestbuy expecting delivery on Wednesday, just wanted to know what I ll do when the tab comes.
I have already got my case and screen protector ready.
Number 1 I believe will be root, what apps are recommended to keep and remove etc, I believe there are no custom roms for now...
Also is there Google market available for the tab?
Thanks in advance.

Hello!
I am new here. Actually, both, here and in Android world (was on iPhone up to - recently :{))
Sooo, after i manage to break (literally, BREAK) my iPhone, I got a tablet as a present.
It is NTT DOCOMO SC-02D tablet, - basicaly, it is Samsung Galaxy Tab 7.0 plus.
So, I got a tablet FULL of very unusefull stuff from DOCOMO.
However, since i am not in Japan, and I am still able to use my t-com network to make phone-calls through sim card, and also, I can connect to wifi networks here - it (my tablet) is either unlocked, or something (marriage - like) happened with world's biggest providers of mobile phone services :{D.
I am completely new to Android and I am actually totally in the dark here. And, guess what: forums doesn't help much, since I can get instructions and tutorials about anything, but as fragments that I just cannot connect to be sure I am doing things right.
So, here goes my question:
I want to erase all docomo software and system from my tablet and install new and fresh android, that I can fill and use as i please!!
Basically, I want to reinstall my tablet. How to do that??
What I learned so far is all about rooting and unlocking, but I don't think I could find instructions to INSTALL ANDROID FRESH anywhere.
One other thing, - I DID FIND SUPERUSER icon in my apps, so does it means somebody rooted my tablet already?
Main reason for me not already trying anything is because I saw that my baseband version is sc02domkk9 - which means it is something of docomo ... So, since I had a problem with my iPhone, when I updated my baseband and therefore couldn't use wifi for a month or so - I need to be sure it won't happen again - that or bricking my tab ...
Thanx in advance for all Your participation in this thread ...
C'mon, guys, nobody??
Well, can someone please tell me is there any way to UNINSTALL apps that are DOCOMO's? I don't get option to uninstall them regulary ...
Ok, can anyone advice me on what ROM can i install on my device??
NTT DOCOMO Samsung Galaxy Tab 7.0 plus
As You can see, - learning in my walk:{D
hey there !
my cousin got a few weeks ago a smg-900v from a friend from the states (we live in Israel), and he suffers from a lot of problems with the verizon rom.
few questions :
is there any "clean" rom for this phone - without verizon apps, that I can flash with ODIN on his device ?
is there a way to get rid of all of the annoying "ROAMING" warnings / 2 clocks (roaming + "local) on lock screen ? I mean, is there a rom "clean" from any "memory" of verizon, that will let his device act like a non-branded device, at least with everything related to carrier ?
basically he's looking for a rom as close as possible to samsung rom, just without all of the problems caused from the fact the device is in origin from Verizon ...
thanks a lot in advance, really appreciate the help !
First off get root access (if you don't know what that is do a LONG search).....then get a good root browser or (I prefer) titanium back up pro. Find all the Verizon apps and delete them right quick. You can get rid of all the Verizon stuff yourself without having to find a de-bloated custom rom
Hey,
thanks for your reply. but what about getting rid of all the roaming messages / warnings ?
Am i right in saying this is the Chinese equivalent for the samsung s5 duos available here in the UK.
I have the SM-G9006W, i would really like to use it in the UK without all of the Chinese telecom crap that's on it. As this even been done before? can anyone tell me where the heck to start?
i was assuming there was a way to flash the Duos rom/recovery onto the G9006W, is that even possible?
Regards
Cap
Hi Cappilio,
I have the SM-G9008W, that one also had a lot of Chinese telecom stuff on it when I bought it, but I could uninstall all of it through the normal apps menu. That said I was thinking about if it was possible to flash the SM-G900FD firmware on it myself, as there isn't any Google related programs on the SM-G9008W, and I am missing the Play store a bit. I haven't been able for find a definite answer if it's possible to use that firmware on ours, and I am a bit scared of bricking it.
I think my next step is going to be rooting it to install the Google related programs instead.

thanks
i have searched, im possibly searching for the wrong thin g can you please provide a link perhaps?

I have searched for the following:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/sitesearch.php?q=install google play chinese
http://forum.xda-developers.com/sitesearch.php?q=remove chinia unicomm
all of which give me results but nothing specific to this model, or even a resolution for the models mentioned.
so again any help? please?
Hi guys ,
I have recently brought a Samsung s7 edge on EE in the UK, I did but the phone second hand but appears to be working correctly to start .
The phone will not find any software updates or play pokemon go for my son and Samsung knox is also tripped out , says the software has been modified in a unauthorised way, I went to samsung and they said it has been rooted and void of warranty so all I can do is Give them £250 for a new motherboard for the phone.
I followed some instructions by downloading a terminal client and it's not showing me as having super user status on the device ,
.I've had I phones since day one and was loving the freedom of android but I really do find myself out of my league as I'm pretty illiterate when it comes to this kind of stuff . I'm looking to either flash the phone back to its factory state or have the phone rooted properly to allow me to update etc
I'm very apprehensive about attempting this myself and was hoping someone could point me in the direction of a idiots guide on how to or specialist on here who would do it for payment if I were to meet them somewhere with their laptop
I have tried Google searching but nothing much seems to make sense , thanks in advance
You want to flash a stock firmware. Get everything working OK first. Try "Updato" for fast firmware downloads. Try a "BTU" firmware. Download Samsung phone drivers and Odin. YouTube Odin very simple to use. Should restore your phone. Then look into rooting.

The phone is modified in a way that it was rooted before, but prior to selling, the vendor unrooted it. Pokemon Go will not work on a rooted device.
First thing is to find the exact build of the phone (under software info in the about section of settings), then look for the corresponding firmware. Trustworthy sources is this forum and sammobile (I usually get my firmware files here). Samsung PC drivers can be found on the internet. Officially they are installed on the PC when you install Samsung SmartSwitch (Samsung's PC Backup and Updating software). Then download Odin. You will use that to flash the stock firmware back onto your phone.

The UK S7 Edge, which is the Exynos variant (G935F) doesn't have bootloader restrictions in that form, thus there is nothing to "relock".

Why do you link to an article on a questionable site, named exactly what I'd imagine a phishing, scammer website would call it to someone completely new to Android!? Seriously, stop linking to these weird a** pages. These pages only exist to generate traffic. They're not even ran by real people. The same exact text on that website is on five other websites, copied and pasted. This is not productive. New users need assistance that's going to help them in the long term. They have to understand the process.
@Elliottsdaddy You want your device restored to its original state. Unrooted. The process of unrooting by flashing a stock firmware is fairly complicated for a newbie and requires you to extensively read and comprehend the tutorial/process. Seriously. There is a lot that can go wrong. I'm gonna ask you to follow the link below. It's a tutorial, posted on XDA by one of our senior members @henklbr. If you have questions, first use the search function and see if your question has already been answered by someone. If not, feel free to ask and give enough detail so people can help you appropriately.

Hi all,
My old vibe died and couldnt find a better phone on the market since 2015 so got a new one. However I dont know what the heck is installed on this one.
I have never rooted before but have a cs degree so im not out my league. With the details in the image below, do you know what I can do to get stock installed?
The phone has a trojan application called fun weather and i cant remove it. Have done everything from root access to hard deleted. But as soon as i get wifi again it downloads. Are all custom roms like this so the developer can make cash? I also dont know if this is ROW or China. It has google services installed.
VERSION AND DETAILS SCREENSHOT HERE (2K image here fills the whole browser.)

Regardless apprecaite the help here.

Maybe this was one of the early firmware. Lenovo has given 5.0 to this mobile. Why didn't you try to update it?
