I recently picked up an AT&T tab with the intent of making phone calls and using my unlimited data plan on it on the AT&T network. It took me a while to read all the posts on XDA and understand the process and the Odin tool before I felt comfortable flashing it. I thought I'd outline the steps that worked for me and maybe save others some time
I very well could have forgotten a step and I am in no way responsible if you damage your tab. Doing this will void the warranty
All credit for this working goes to clubtech, samfirmware.com, rotohammer and CLShortFuse with special thanks to clubtech.
The original, main thread can be found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=847273 and should be read through in it's entirety if problems occur.
These instructions are designed to use with an AT&T branded samsung galaxy tab on the AT&T network only
1. Root phone using SuperOneClick (courtesy CLShortFuse)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=803682

Hi
Great post - just want to confirm i was able to do it all without steps 1 and 2 (i.e. no need for rooting).
Thank you for this quick guide.

Hey Users,
Heres a guide for upgrading to 2.3.6 form any firmware..This guide is ONLY for SGS GT-I9000..
This guide can also be used if your phone has a boot loop and you cannot access CWM Recovery..(Provided your Phone Boots atleast to "Galaxy S GT-I9000" & Download mode)
Note:
1.Phone must have atleast 60% Battery
2.Take Backup of all your phone data like contacts,etc. as this process will factory reset your phone
--Plus take imp data from your Internal SD Card(for safety)
Take backups by using 3rd party apps like Astro for Apps,SMS Backup & Restore for SMS,ETC.
3.Enable USB Debugging (IMPORTANT)
--Goto Settings->Application->Development->Turn On USB Debugging
4.If your phone is being connected to the PC for the first time (in Download mode), then make sure that it installs all the drivers
Downloads:
1.Android 2.3.6 Value Pack from here(password: samfirmware.com)
2.Root File from here or here
3.USB Drivers form here(This Is Optional if it is already installed by your phone, else you need to download it and install it)
4.PIT file form here
Steps:
To Upgrade:
Once the download is complete, extract the files in one place
1.Run Odin3 and add the files as follows:
--PIT: Put the PIT File,
--PDA: Put the Code File,
--Phone: Put the Modem File,
--CSC: Put the CSC File,
--(IMAGE ATTACHED BELOW :1)--
2.Put your SGS to download mode. Do so by 3-Button Combo..
--Volume Down+Home (Center) Button+Power Button
Press and hold it till you see "Download" (Attached Image :3)
And then connect it to your system for odin to recognise it, make sure there is the a yellow box in "ID:COM" (Shown in Image :1)
If its not recognising make sure the drivers are installed..If the are then try other versions of odin3(Also attached with 2.3.6 File)..
3.Hit the start button and wait for some time..
Remember IF there is no progress for 5 mins or so, disconnect your phone and try it again..and also use different odin versions (Also attached with 2.3.6 File)
The phone will automatically reboot..The first reboot make take 5~10 minutes..
To Root:
1.Run Odin from the downloaded file and add only 1 file
--PDA:Put the CF-Root file that you just downloaded
--(Image Attached :2)--
2.Attached the phone in Download mode (As Mentioned Earlier)
--wait for it to be recognised by odin..
3.Hit the start button and wait for a few seconds
The phone will automatically reboot..After reboot check if Superuser application is there with other 2 new applications on your phone (As a System file i.e; you cannot delete this application)
(This checks if your phone is rooted or not)
Enjoy
Edit:I have requested the moderator..and i apologize for the same..
Please move it to general section.

yes, you can flash any firmware to it, 90%+ of firmwares have Hungarian language in them
Excelsior!
Thanks very much for this guide, it was quite clear cut and helpful. Only things I mention incase anyone else has similar issues; getting the installer for the Samsung drivers to work on W8 took many clicks and admin access and I had to track down Odin 1.7 for it to work.

thank you for the excellent post. breathed new life in my old phone
Thank you!
Your guide helped me . And the phone is much faster and smoother with this value pack. Also I got more free RAM .
The point of this thread is to help people safely update their bootloader so that they may flash a touchwiz kitkat rom.
I have seen several threads where people are running into issues and even development threads get cluttered with questions. So I will give you the steps needed using my method.
Please note this is for windows 7. However it should work on other versions of windows too.
This method may wipe your internal storage completely so transfer anything you do not wish to lose to you pc.
This method will also trip yout knox counter which may void your warranty.
You also may not be able to downgrade to 4.3 so make sure this is what you want to do
I am not responsible for bricked devices. Proceed at own risk
You have been warned!!!
So what you need to do is download a few files.
I have created a zip file and uploaded it for easy access and simplicity reasons. If it becomes out dated I will update accordingly.
What is needed is your variants stock firmware. You need to get the one for your device off sammobile.com
On sammobile you must create an account in order to download (if you don't have an account already).
Once you are logged in click on the firmware tab. Then enter your device name.
Canadian variants enter: SM-N900W8
TMO variants enter: SM-N900T
You will then be able to pick the most recent firmware for your device and download it. So now that you have the correct firmware (please double check, and if unsure google it)!!!
So lets begin
You also need to download the zip file I have made and extract it. Inside it you will find the samsung drivers, 3 recovery options to pick from, the supersu.zip and also odin.zip. once you've extracted the file you've just downloaded you need to extract the odin.zip inside it as well.
So if you have not previously installed the samsung drivers you will need to do so. Simply run the samsung mobile driver.exe file and install it. Once successful in installing, reboot your pc.
when it boots up, connect yout device to you pc and transfer over the supersu.zip over to your phone. The root of your sd card is recommended for easy access.
Now what you need to do is ensure usb debugging is enabled. Do so by going to settings, general, developer options and ensure its checked. If you do not have developer options simply go to about phone, and tap om build number 7 times to enable developer options.
Once this is done you need to power off your device with it unplugged. Now we need to enter download mode. You can do this by holding the home button, volume down and pushing and hokding the power button. You will be presented with a warning screen. You push volume up to proceed or vokume down to cancel and restart device.
We want to push volume up. It will then show a big android saying warning do not turn off target.
Now connect your device to your pc and run odin as administrator.
In odin near the top left you shoukd see a box colored in saying:
Com and have a number. If you see this that means odin recognizes your device. If you do not that means eiter you dont have the drivers installed properly or perhaps you need to try a different usb port or cord.
You then will see a few check boxes checked off. Auto reboot and f.reset time. leave these checked only.
Theres an AP BUTTON. Click this button and then navigate to your stock firmware file you've downloaded and select it. It may take a few minutes to load it. Once it does load all you need to do is click the start button and let odin do the rest. Do not touch anything.
This will take a few minutes. You should see a green "pass" in the box at the top left. Your device will eventually reboot and you will now be stock, unrooted on the latest firmware.
*please note that if at this point your device hangs on the Samsung logo sayong "recovery booting" you need to pull the battery and reflash the firmware. This time also check the repartition box.
Now we need to root and flash a custom recovery.
Again you'll need to enable usb debugging on your phone so I recommend skipping the google setup stuff on your phone.
Once you have enabled it, power off your phone with it unplugged and again enter download mode the same way you did before.
Plug in your device and in odin press the reset button to clear the stock firmware file.
Now connect your device to your pc and again ensure that odin recognizes it.
Click the AP BUTTON again and this time navigate to the custom recovery of choice ( I reccomend twrp. I am also using the tmo version as I could not get the canadian version to boot)
Once selected again hit the start button. In a few seconds you should again receive a "PASS" message. That mrans you have successfully flashed a custom recovery.
Now power off your device and unplug it. Now we need to enter recovery.
Do so by pressing the home button, volume up, and push and hold the power button. Once you see recovery booting you can let go. You will also see in red font: recovery is not seandroid enforcing. That just means you have a custom recovery.
If your device hangs at this screen you will need to oower it off and try a different recovery.
Once in recovery I reccomend making a nandroid backup. (Optional)
Next we are going to root. All that you need to do is press install or install zip from sd card depending on which recovery you chose and navigate to the supersu.zip
Now install the zip by following the instructions of the recovery and then reboot.
Congratulations you are now rooted (you can confirm if you like by downloading the root checker app if you wish) and on the latest firmware and can flash custom 4.4.2 roms for your device. Please read and follow the directions of the op in the thread of the rom you wish to flash.

I replied to your pm you sent me. Anyway just flash a different recovery if it's hanging after flashing recovery. If its hanging after flashing stock 4.4.2 firmware try it again by oulling battery and going back into dl lodem this time also check the repartition box

I have a Verizon Note 3 running Android 5.0, non-rooted (never had luck getting it rooted). As far as I know, the bootloader is locked. Here is all the information that I thought might be pertinent:
Model #: SM-N900V
Baseband version: N900VVRUEOF1
Android version: 5.0
Kernel version: 3.4.0
Build number: LRX21V.N900VVRUEOF1
Although I work in IT and am fairly comfortable with this sort of stuff, I have almost no experience when it comes to working with Android development / phones, etc.
The phone does not have a valid SIM card, nor do I have service for it. I use it just as a WiFi device and I don't care if it ever works for phone/SMS/MMS again. That being said, I would really like to be able to (a) root the phone and (b) load the Resurrection firmware that I've read about that would allow me to run Marshmallow.
Is there someone who is willing to take me "under their wing," so to speak, and take me through what I need to do, step by step, to make this happen. I've read several posts, but they all assume a prior level of knowledge that I just don't possess. I'm confident that I could do this if I have a clear list of instructions and and understanding of what steps I need to follow to do this. Thanks in advance to anyone who could give me a hand.
Same problem here. Would appreciate help
Alright,
*First thing you need to do is enable USB debugging:
How?
On your phone Navigate to Settings > About Phone > scroll to the bottom > tap Build number seven (7) times. You'll get a short pop-up in the lower area of your display saying that you're now a developer. Then Go back (to the settings menu) and now access the Developer options menu, check ‘USB debugging’ and click OK on the prompt.
------------------------------------
(DONT plug your phone to your PC yet)

------------------------------------
Here is the fun part (Unlocking your bootloader) All through the phone no PC required for this.
You need to use an SDCard for this and
Keep in mind this method ((WILL WIPE YOUR EXTERNAL SD CARD)) So backup your MicroSD or use another one.
* Install Busybox on your phone (you can get it from the Playstore)
* Download Samsung Unlocker N3
1. Install SamsungUnlockerN3.apk

Try to do a factory reset in recovery mode. It will wipe all your apps and data and restore it to factory settings. The instructions you got from @Sczar are very good , so try again step by step if factor reset doesn't work to get you out of the boot loop.

OK, made it to rooted. It came back up the first time while connected to the computer. I shut down to swap sd cards to put in an older one that isnt used and when I start back up all I get is Process System isnt responding in a white box. If I do nothing, the white square asking to quit or wait will disappear, I get the top bar with 4G, bars, battery level, and time, but black screen. If I swipe the screen with my finger, the desktop (for lack of better word) flashes on, then goes all black. In about 3-5 minutes it will restart again. Before it restarts on its own, I can hold the power button and it will give me the power off, restart, etc menu and allow restart.
EDIT: Nevermind... If it warns Process System is not responding, wait for the notification bar to appear, use the power button to get the restart menu and choose restart. Then it starts normally and is Rooted! THANK YOU! I will work on the rest tomorrow!

It just started, I assume, as a result of running the root program. I downloaded program from the suggested link. I ran it which installed files on my pc and made a desktop shortcut. I double-clicked the shortcut, the program started, I connected the phone via usb, and selected the scan button in the program. It found the phone and I selected install root. I then had a progress bar start in the program and a window opened on the task showing odin 3.10. The phone indicated that odin had started and said it was downloading, however, progress stopped at 28 seconds. Did I do something wrong? I would really like to get this thing rooted so I have control over it.
Thanks immensely for your help.

Yes on both accounts. Because I had no intent to flash a new ROM and only wanted to root I did not have an SD card in the phone. Could this be affecting the process?

If you just want to root your phone you only need to run the root program on your pc. You DO NOT use odin. If I'm reading your post correctly you are saying the odin program is starting automatically? That should not happen. SD card should not matter if you just root.
Yes it is starting automatically. Any ideas why. Going to search registry on computer to see if it might be on there. Does Samsung Kies use Odin in any manner. I do have Kies on the computer. Grasping at straws I know. Thanks for the help you folks are great.

I have no idea why odin would start on its own. If you would like to, uninstall Odin so you can root your phone without any interference from Odin. Samsung Kies DOES NOT use Odin. Samsung Kies is its own separate program from Odin.
If all you want to do is root the phone follow Sczar post and run the root program again it should only take about 1 minute tops to root phone.
Tried one more time. Stopped in exactly the same place as multiple times before. As far as Odin goes; after downloading the root file and running it, it extracted a number of files and created a directory in my program files directory on my pc. One of the files extracted was Odin.exe. Also the program does not automatically detect my phone or ask me to select OF1. I have to select a scan button and it then populates the fields showing the build. I select install root and all goes good,like I have mentioned until 26 or 27 seconds of progress has occurred the the program stops. My phone shows Odin has started and says it is downloading not to turn off, but nothing ever writes to the phone. I have to get into the task manager on the pc to stop the processes dealing with the root program as it becomes totally unresponsive. I have to kill adb also. I am totally baffled and about ready to give up. Wish I had stayed with Motorola at least that phone I was able to root. I have been holding off the new software update for days but may just let it fly unless someone has any other ideas about why this thing stops. Thanks to those who have tried so far.

I'm starting to figure out what you are saying is going on (I think).
1. Forget about Odin you do not use it, at all for root.
2. If I'm right your "phone" is going into DOWNLOAD MODE automatically that is what it should do.That is not Odin running. That's how your phone programs itself.
Quick checks
1.Make sure you have latest drivers from Samsung installed.
2. check USB debugging is on.
3. Install Arabic Tool For rooting on PC.
http://www.mediafire.com/?pvm1reerboz2c25
4. Open Arabic tool,
5. plug phone into PC make sure you connect as MTP not installer mode.
6. Click on Version, select OF1 (make sure your firmware is running on OF1)
7. Click Read Phone Info. (Your phone info should fill in the blanks)
8. HIT ROOT.
Your phone should go into "Download Mode" not Odin (a little green dude should be on the screen) automatically. Let the program do its thing. Then it will reboot your phone automatically, and if everything goes correctly it should say your rooted!.
9. It should take about 1 or 2 minutes to complete.
10. If it doesn't work try it again. It took me 2 tries for it to work right.
Everytime I've tried rooting my SM N900V with this Yemen tool I get hard bricked. To fix that issue I just put phone in odin mode and flash the OF1 firmware and everything is back to normal but still no root. Any suggestions?

Try the Arabic tool I posted above ^^^. I rooted my phone 3 times with no problems. I've not used the Yemen root method.
I made it to root, but the bootloader is not replacing so I am evidently missing an obvious step.
Samsung Note 3 SM-N900V 0F1 firmware
1. Install SamsungUnlockerN3.apk
2. Grant SU access (How do I do this? It is not asking anything)
3. Click On Install SamBootloader Unlocker
4. Grant SU access (Again, how do I do this? It is not asking anything)
5. Type Yes Hit enter wait for device to power off. Then pull the battery out > Battery back in then power on the phone.
6. Should be unlocked
It says it works, it shuts down and I remove the battery, and I reboot. However, as soon as I install TWRP and allow it to reboot I get the unauthorized software message from Verizon, use Kies to save, use Odin to reflash 0F1, root again, and now what? Why is the actual bootloader not being installed? How do I enable superuser?

Its showing because your device is not rooted. Mounting system requires root previlage in your device.
Root your device and try again.

if it still gives error about microsoft error warning, try fresh replacing ur online update tool again from the zip
And start the program from there only, once it successfully started
3. Click next, then choose the firmware mena, that is
PLE-3320-0-00WW-A02.nb0 file your one could be CNxxxx) and put ur phone into bootloader,

Look every step is written, your phone will be recognised once you start ost tool
When u start the tool the ost will ask you to browse the firmware file with .nb0 extension
Then it will ask you to connect the phone
Now connect your phone
Then keep holding volume down and power button together, once your phone get turned off then it will show u that its been booted into bootloader or download mode, click next on ost tool and it will start flashing your device
Thats all

hi, i can't flash or update anything because i rooted my phone and making update will brick my phone : "10.After your phone rooted, you can reboot your phone. DO NOT INSTALL ANY OTA UPDATES OR YOUR PHONE WILL GET STUCK AT STOCK RECOVERY (However I've never tested Magisk on Nokia 6), but I’ll recommend you to disable automatic update in settings."
