Hi, new poster - so hello everyone!
I have used the forum in the past to root my phone and use a custom rom, all has been well for a year or more until i started to get problems.... Anyway long story short im looking to install the gingerDX rom but am having great difficulty (last time i was very smooth!).
My question is about the requirements:-
Requirements• Rooted
• ClockworkMod Recovery (v014+)
• Baseband 015
• Sony Ericsson SEMC kernel, Alfs, nAa or LinuxDX
I understand what clockworkmod is but how exactly do i get that version??? I keep seeing i need to d/load rom manager, but again all i see is broken links!
REALLY REALLY need some help people.
I can root the phone, update baseband and then lastly is SEMC the stock kernel i.e i dont have to do anyting?>
Many thanks in advance
I am wondering about the requirement of a custom kernel (which also need an unlocked bootloader) for GingerDX? oO
WHICH version do ya want to install?
I'm using GingerDX v029 (shakira-build, CM-nightly), which runs on stock kernel, making custom kernel and unlocking your bootloader unnecessary.
Got a CWM from nobodyAtall (thx dude!), works perfektly, but 2.1 Stock ROM required first:

(Notice the Installation Notes!)

Forgot my last post, understood it false
What doixanh meant was GDX v014 and above can only be installed by CWM. There is no CWM 14.x. Not even koush has it.
Um OK guys you have gone way to fast for me (again :cyclops
I have just wiped the phone, updated it to latest sony firmware and i have just rooted it with busybox.
Please can someone take the time to explain my next steps ................
I have downloaded the toolbox above, but now what?
thanks again
I can tell you only MY way. Without the toolbox.
Guess you've 2.1 Stock ROM?
Rooted phone is necessary!
First, you will need RootExplorer.
There are ways to get it free
Download the apk, put it on your SDcard and install it with any of these random Filemanagers.
Then, follow my link above and download the update-binary.zip from nobodyAtall's CWM.
Read this site carefully,
If you don't have a recovery installed, using Root explorer: manually extract any of the above CWM recovery zips and copy the contents of the system folder (system/bin and system/xbin) to /system, then give 755 permissions to those files, especially to /system/bin/chargemon, or you'll get bootloop.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Permissions on 755 = long press on the datafile, select "Permissions" in RootExplorer
It should look so:
x x x
x o x
x o x
x= checked boxes
o= unchecked boxes
Also look for google images, type in "755 permissions"
At rebooting, press the [BACK]-Button on your phone many times.
You should get into the CWM menu.
Do it step by step, post here, when you are ready. The last steps to install Custom ROM are simple
this seems very complicated to when i last upgraded my phone! Why have we made it such a task?
Im going to have another go today, if anyone else has an easier to follow guide i would love to know about it
the simplest way imo is to stay on stock kernel since the way i understood it you want to flash a gdx rom (which supports stock kernel). just use x8toolbox and install cwm. boot to recovery, ful wipe, then flash the rom.
again, it's the simplest way imo. not the best since unlocking your bl and flashing a custom kernel may be an option for you. btw, iirc gdx v28 can be flashed by xrecov (no guarantees). i think i did that. and just booted to cwm that's included in gdx to re-wipe and flash.

with the x8 toolbox download, what do you actually have to do with it?
Do i transfer all the files to the phones root? leave them on the desktop? Im a bit unsure - sorry again
i found this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1871817
i honestly never used x8toolbox. hope the link helps.
edit: if you're on a custom kernel, it probably has cwm already.

This is not a full rom!!! It MUST be flashed OVER your existing rooted stock 5.0.1 rom. Make sure you do a backup BEFORE you flash!!!I am no dev, but I figured I would share my deodexed rom for t-810 users. With this, you can install xposed framework! You must be rooted with twrp. Flash this over your existing rom with twrp, and wipe dalvik after install. Enjoy!

Good stuff, just a reminder to people to do a full backup with TWRP before flashing just in case.
You guys rock. Thanks for root, twrp and now this. This tablet is gonna be badder ass than it already is!

99% of credit goes to @ashyx for root and twrp. I will post links to proper xposed files when I get home later.
Works very well! Thanks for the deodexed zip-file!
I used the "xposed-v71-sdk21-arm-arter97-V6-exynos.zip" and this works very well at the 5.01 rom.
Here is the link to the xposed-thread for the 5.0 Samsung roms:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3113463
This makes the Tab S2 much more useful till 5.1.1 with root is available.
Worked great guys! Thanks to the pioneers of the s2!
And deodexed for 5.1??

Any chance of this to work on android 5.1.1?
Anyone still have the file that can be flashed? The link in the first post is dead. Still have a sm-t810 on 5.0.1 and want to deodex it. any help would be greatly appreciated.
I just deodexed it myself. we will see how this goes lol. never done it myself... Just wanting to get xposed on there.
Not sure if this of value of anyone. I root these for my own device and though I would share in case its of value to someone else.
My steps to create:
1. Sony PC Companion to download update for my device/region
2. Flashtool to decrypt
3. Flashtool to build ftf with all 3 .ta portions removed
4. PRFCreator to root and zip

I just went through this ordeal. There is a lollipop version of dual recovery here . You need to flash the flashable version of it through recovery and it will give you write access. You are probably using a Kit Kat version of dual recovery that doesn't disable lollipop simlock.
many thanks for the quick response. can I get this recovery "TabZ2-lockeddualrecovery2.8.21-RELEASE.flashable.zip" for the sgp512 simple flash or something else must take place only before ... thanks:good:
You want 2.8.22 zip file. Flash in recovery. Done.
Thank you so much for the great help .... everything works great ... keep it up :good:

Not sure what version of firmware you are on, but you might need to downgrade to an older version, run NUTs or another method to flash a new recovery. I went back to a 17.x version and skipped all the setups at firstboot, enabled Developer tools,then USB debugging, allow apps to be installed, and all that nonsense, then I ran locked recovery install.bat.
Build is: G361FFXXU1AOF9
Cant find a way to root this damn thing
Still need help with it
Did you get this device rooted yet? I bought one of these today and it looks like I'm going to have to manually root it unless somebody can step in?
KingoRoot
KingoRoot and Kingroot both worked for me :fingers-crossed:

I flashed the rom, It was the only way for some reason.

Both of these are known to fail against this device, although I attempted to root with these to no effect.
Looks like the only sane way to root this device currently is via the pre-rooted option with Odin.

Hi @Creative18, could you post that file on some location I can access it G930PVPS5BRA1?
I was trying to root my phone and broke my system. I have tried with older firmwares but didn't work. I think I need to try with an updated firmware like this: G930PVPS5BRA1.
I will really appreciate your help.
I'm in a bad moment about this.

There already is a rooted U version thread. If you have issues with a phone just download the firmware and flash it in Odin.

Yeah. But they said they needed a bootloader extracted from a device? Idk what that would help them with. Besides you can extract specific partitions from the firmware file.

I also searched weeks and i have it . a simple fast root for our sm930P Sprint and other versions S7 on a locked bootloader . i have done two S7s one on ra1 and the other on BD2 a 5 and 6 . it rooted the first time on both and the speps are simple . no bootlooping apps to install no confusion .simple install.. it runs very very fast and i see no difference from a stock nugget phone other than samsung pay and a few samsung apps dont like root. it even has an over cloke if you want. Flash at your own risk but now i have my titanium backup and other root apps running flawless . on TING . simple two steps involved and no bootloops . i used the system root option and did not wipe data and used the leave safestrap on it or no safestrap installed option . the rest is EASY PEASY https://www.androidsage.com/2017/03...gat-firmware-usa-att-t-mobile-verizon-sprint/
