Ok,
So my dad gave me his galaxy tablet 10.1 from korea and the following is some information:
MODEL: SHW-M38OS
32GB WIFI 3G
White Color
Android Version: 3.2
Build number
HTK75D.EK10 SHW-M38OS.Ek10.1321
I thought as long as I changed the language to English, I should be all set until I tried to download netflix on google play and it told me its not downloadable in my country...Except i live in California. I understand that it still thinks im in korea i guess.
If I want this to work 100% in the US, should I root it and put a custom rom in it? recommendations?
defently yes!
Hey I dont see a reason for not rooting your Tab
There are so many great Rom's out there that its harder to decide wich rom to flash than the decision of rooting or not I think.
I mean you can even get Android 4.1.2 for our beloved Tab - AOKP is running very stable and fast with lots of working tweaks!
But if you don't want to root, try a stock rom that fits your location.
You can find severel stock roms on sammobile.com
So its up you
You can stuck with the chains of your device's stock rom or
feel the freedom with a rooted custom rom of your choice!

ok sweet!!! thanks so much for the information.
If you don't want to change your rom you can use Market Unlocker (works perfectly on my italian device), but you need root permissions anyway.
Yes, unlock it and install the latest US firmware or a custom ROM.

[Noobs Guide] How to get "DN3 (Ditto Note 3)" ROM working in Samsung Galaxy Note 2
Hi Everyone,
I just now finished installing the ROM successfully so i thought i would atleast make this small tutorial for others, thinking it might be helping them. You wouldn't believe me. I haven't slept the whole night (9hrz without gap) to get this ROM working in my note 2.
Now, a few things about my phone. Trust me, you will require this info because you will then understand what your phone and my phone is. So you could have a clear idea on how to start or where to start.

Phone : Samsung Galaxy Note II N7100
Android Version : 4.1.1 (Its the same version that i had since the time i bought the phone, i didn't update or anything.)
Rooted : NO
Recovery : STOCK
Firmware: Indian firmware (sorry, i don't remember the firmware name)
Click to expand...

Now, prerequisites...!
◘ A Samsung Galaxy Note II with definite 70% and above battery if you are a beginner.
◘ The data cable that is actually working when connected between phone & laptop.
◘ An external SD card with a minimum of 4 GB storage so that you can place the ROM to flash it through Recovery.
◘ DN3 (Ditto Note 3) ROM from E-team (Electron Team) downloaded & kept ready in your computer, because it's about 1.48 GB size.
[Important: See that the ROM is downloaded without any breaks. Check whether it is the "Download Success" or "Download Fail" in the Download Manager. If the ROM is not successfully downloaded & you continue to flash it into your Note 2. Then you are going to feel very bad (Trust me). So check it & only then be ready to start.]

I have one question.
I need to use obligatorily external SD card?
Or I can place to internal too?
All custom roms flashed via external SD ?
How is the battery drain in this rom? I tired quite a few 4.3 based roms and the battery drain was terrible. So I happily went back to 4.1.2 based rom with perseus kernel minimal ram usage and amazing battery life. So just wanted to know about the battery drain and whether it can be used with the perseus kernel?

I need to use obligatorily external SD card?
answer : Yes, OBLIGATORILY external SD card
I say internal also can be used, but the operating manner then would be little complicated for which you might land up into a CONFUSED situation. So it's much better to do it through a SD card
Or I can place to internal too?
Answer : Yes, you can place ,but i told u right If u want it complicated, you may if you already have an idea about Philz touch recovery & etc, then, step up
All custom roms flashed via external SD ?
Answer : You see, most of the people actually try to follow the safe and secure way so they do the flash of ROM's from the External SD card
Now doubts clarified ?
If got any more :cyclops: , just lemme know
Your Doubts just got clarified WiTH SCREENSHOTS

Ok, I'm looking to do this myself, I'm on a i317 (at&t lte variant) and have found the ROM for that version. My question is, I was told that it would be "trickier" to flash the custom ROM because I have already updated my phone to 4.3 stock. Now I'm aware that flashing the custom ROM will now void my warranty, that is not my concern, my question is what will make it "trickier?" I was not able to receive a response from the person that said this, and now I'm just trying to gather info before attempting this.

I was under the same impression after I upgraded my N7105T (Australia - Telstra) to 4.3 as well.
The reality is that it is not trickier in the slightest. What did happen for me upon the initial flashing of the ROM from Philz recovery was that I was stuck on the initial boot logo until I pulled out the battery and restarted my phone in Philz recovery again. I then flashed the bootloader, thinking that was why it got stuck. After that, all went just fine after performing the installation/flashing again in Philz recovery. I performed a reboot into recovery after the install was completed, factory reset the handset and all was fine thereafter. I was able to restore my data as well as the majority of my apps. Some needed reinstallation, such as phone banking for obvious reasons but all in all, it was very much the painless process.
I'm really happy with it now. I just recently flashed it with the AGNi kernel as well, which was a nice improvement though I've changed from the zzmove battery profile to zzmove optimised profile to see if I still get any issues with apps slowing down to a grinding halt before needing a reboot of the handset to get it back up to speed again.

Was it absolutely necessary for you to quote my entire message when it had very little to do with your question? Please just use the reply button instead of the reply with quoting next time. It will clutter the forums a lot less.
As for your wife not working, I would suggest a divorce.
For the rest of the things you're seeking, I searched the forum and found everything I needed.
Sorry quoting yoi
Sorry I quoted your entire post.
If I had an answer, I won't border asking for help cos I still can't see how you have helped me with your post.
Thanks anyway
In searching through the forums and Google, I found only bootloaders for N7100. What I did find was recommendations to simply upgrade to the official Samsung 4.3 release using Kies and then following the installation procedure for DN3.
Not sure why I'm only seeing N7100 versions of the MJ5 bootloader but everything is smooth on my N7105T with the MK2 bootloader.

Thanks for the response, I ended up doing it and much like yourself, it went beautifully. I'm quite happy with it. I haven't really had any kernel issues so I'm hesitant to flash other ones unless they greatly improve something. Did you flash the the new kernel because of the app slowdown issue you were having? Or just to improve performance in general?
It was to beef up the phone's performance in terms of power consumption but that seemed to work against me.

The rom works like a charm, except for a gimmick: The WiFi is not working. Tried flashing a wifi patch and it worked, but then the camera stopped working. After hours trying to make the camera work, now it does but the wifi does not.
When I try turning the WiFi on it just switches off automatically. Also flashed Devil Kernel, Toooiiko (or something of the sorts) kernel, and they just made the problem worse by fixing the wifi but no camera AND no mobile network of any kind. :rolleyes
Any ideas/suggestions are more than welcome.

Hey Artstar,
I realize you don't like people quoting your entire posts so I thought I'd keep this one brief (not understanding 100% how XDA internals work, I wanted to make sure I got your attention by quoting you at least).
ANYWAYS
I have updated to 4.3 stock (vodafone) which turns out to be ML5 (from memory, phone is not working 100% right now).
Can I please ask (beg, lol) for a link to the bootloader you "flashed" to fix your problem? I've just:
1. updated to 4.3 stock
2. followed instructions on the DN3 V5 ROM install...
Now the first thing I've noticed is my phone won't detect my sim card :-/ So, into my old HTC my sim card goes! I need a phone for the morning, but would ideally like to have a note 2 with working DN3 rom... If you can help at all it would be GREATLY appreciated, as you said; I can't find a bootloader for the GT-N7105T... there are plenty for the other variants, but I really am having trouble finding one for ours.
This is very hopeful that my vodafone model is the same as your tesltra model based on the actual model number, but regardless I've got (and admittedly, I'm guessing a bit here) a dud bootloader installed and would greatly appreciate your input.
Thanks in advance mate, any help is much appreciated. I have searched the entire note 2 thread - perhaps my search skills are not up to scratch or perhaps there is no bootloader and I'm not understanding your instructions correctly.
Cheers!

Not sure if this is in the right section. I used a non lte S4 and there was obviously a lot less custom roms available then for the lte model. I am now using the S5. I see there is a couple of custom roms for the SM-G900F, but there is currently no custom roms for the SM-G900H or am I looking in the wrong section when I look here..http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s5/development, if not, is somebody busy with a custom rom for the SM-G900H? There are very talented guys designing roms on here and I hope they make their way to the SM-G900H side.

be patience dude,the dev will work on our model,just stay tune
Just glad to hear there is hope... Can't wait.....
as there are more countries adopting LTE, there are less markets adopting the exynos version of the GS5. therefore less developers. Hopefully developers even those from LTE-running countries make rome for the exynos version. :fingers-crossed:

Nah, really I feel that nowadays if you root and use xposed you will find almost all the things you used to look for in a rom.
And you can debloat yourself using Titanium Backup or greenify donate.
That's at least in my case, there's even an xposed module to remove the s connect shortcut in the notification bar, the only modification I did directly on the apk.
So for now, there's not a huge need for a custom rom, 98% of the tuneup scripts are bs. And most tweaks are already in wanam xposed or app settings.
i dont think that we have hope..:/
btw @Shohat said that until the end of May he will release custom rom of sm-g900h but still now,nothing happen...

Don't believe any promises in that thread...
Yea not into trusting that thread either lol. I am rooted and use wannam and to be honest i am quite happy with it so far. I also use the phone for lots of training, so I use Endomondo sports tracker and the heart rate ANT etc and the battery life is phenominal. I am not sure I would want to run a custom rom that is going to have bugs etc. I stock standard with a few speed tweaks and debloated might do the trick but I guess we will have to wait and see if anyone has the guts to build for this model ??
I waiting for rom galaxy s5 g900h
Hi everyone ,
i installed Recovery for my G900h, but i still waiting for dev make a new ROM for G900H exynos, :good:
never test a rom G900F or else you risked your phone fallen break:crying:
Sorry bro, can't read your post, the text it's too small.
After having rooted for weeks and used greenify, titanium backup and xposed framework I still don't see any need of a custom rom (same experience I had with my Nexus 5 - stock rooted with franco).
Custom kernel is a different story, just changing a couple of things makes a good difference in standby consumption (sec-battery-monitor, wlan_rx_wake and l2_hsic wakelocks).

The problem is not that its hard to make a rom for exynos or anything special about s5.... I guess its that hardly anyone and no devs have the device. Supporting and building for a device that you dont own is just not sensible.

I'm waiting 4 CM!!! or more chefs
I've been working on a custom ROM for the Verizon Galaxy Tab 4 (SM-T537V and the SM-T337V) but haven't had much luck flashing them to my devices.
I've been trying to flash the 8" version using ODIN after making customizations to the ROM (removing apps, etc.). This worked fine on my Verizon Galaxy Tab 2 7", but it doesn't seem to be working well on the Tab 4.
My process: unpack the system.img.ext4 and mounting it, then modifying and repacking, using simg2img and make_ext4fs, respectively. Both of these are made as 2400M size partition.
I've tried ODIN 3.0.9 and 3.0.4 and flashing the system.img.ext4 alone vs batched with the rest of the stock ROM files, but always get the error: "secure check fail: system" when the system.img.ext4 starts to flash.
Yes, these are .tar.md5.
Any ideas how I can get this to work?
Bump bump. Anyone have an idea about how to do this?
More generic question -
Does anyone know why it would be difficult to flash a custom ROM from Odin? What is locked down by Samsung to prevent this?
I was able to do this easily with the Galaxy Tab 2, so I'm trying to isolate what may have changed.

Most custom roms now a days are usually zip flashed roms. Probably has to do something with Samsung not flashing unsigned firmwares in which you can do so. I never use odin but only for cfautoroot. Thats my guess. Maybe it has to do with how the rom is built in order to flash it.

Thanks for the tips! That's basically the answer I've settled on as well, after lots of testing. I'm not sure why the Tab 2 would allow unsigned ROMs to flash, while the Tab 4 seems to dislike me repackaging the /system partition and flashing it.
I'm assuming there is no way to re-sign a ROM in the same way as the stock signed firmware, so I guess I'll have to explore flashing with a zip. In order to do this, I would need either Clockworkmod or TWRP on the device, right? I don't think it is available for the Galaxy Tab 4 yet. Is it possible to flash a custom recovery on the tab 4 that is meant for another system, or does that basically always brick it?

Not sure why there isnt a custom recovery for some tab 4 devices but there are developers in the tab s thread that ported cwm to the tab s. Maybe someone can build on for the tab 4? And what version of twrp are you talking about/ tab 4 varint? It probaly would boot into recovery is what I think. Sorry as I do not own the device or know any of the model numbers :/

It's the Verizon Tab 4 10.1" (SM-T537V) I've been thinking about porting CWM for my Tab 4 but I don't know if it's possible or if I'm up for the challenge technically. Maybe the S is similar enough to flash onto the Tab 4.
Would all the Tab 4 variants have the same recovery? Or would they likely be different?

I believe the recoverys should be the same as they are the same size and almost identical devices. If the recovery was built on the wifi tab 4 10.1 it most likely will work. Idk if it will though. People that on the tab s forums that recoverys for our wifi tab s work on the lte also. Idk. I think as long as they have the same chipset (exynos etc) and size it should he good. I cannot confirm this though and ill have a look at the tab s forums to see if it really does. Idk if it will.

Ok, good to know. I couldn't find any places where people were referencing using the wifi Tab S recoveries on the LTE / Verizon versions, but I'm probably just missing it. Any idea why the Tab S bootloader is unlocked / able to have a custom recovery installed? It seems like a lot of newer samsung devices don't have this ability. Was it through some workaround like a Loki equivalent? Thanks again for all the great info!

Only wifi and lte models such as sprint perhaps verizon and unlocked lte devices have unlocked bootloaders. I think we had custom recoveries because either from the firmware release or someone got their recovery. Img pulled for beanstown to port. We had root on both 8.4 and 10.5 inch the following week after launched and custom recoveries by ds troy (recovery builder for twrp) few weeks later. I dont know whats up with your guyes tab 4s not getting recoveries. Are your tab 4 chips exynos? Because the tab s have exynos chips. We have developers working on kernels and roms even though they dont own the tablet. Must be how much sources are availbe? Idk if verizon bootloaders are unlocked but sprint and wifi ones are.

So if I end up not being able to flash a custom ROM on this, is it possible I can just build a script to change everything on my ROM's system files using my root permissions? Not sure where to get started with this, since I've been so focused on the ROM until now. Maybe some sort of batch file run through adb?

Not sure.?! Sorry! But good luck with the ROM! I never built one either.

you can do it via ADB, just make sure to issue the "stop" command first. you can batch all this with the help of "su -c" which runs a su command without interactive shell

Yeah, thanks! That's what I've been working on recently. Mostly just stripping out bloatware and changing a few things. I'll post the full command here once I'm further along.
I'd like to be able to change the SystemUI.apk but haven't been able to successfully deodex it yet (the deodexed version loses the notification panel!)
make sure you use apktool 1.5.2 and see what the results are
then try apktool 2.0.0 RC3 if no luck

Also, try deodexing with QuickDeodex, it tends to create good results for me. experiment with different Smali, baksmali in the tool's resources folder. sometimes you need smali/baksmali 2.0.3 and sometimes you don't. it's a crapshoot.

This worked really well, thank you for the tip!
Did you ever solve the custom ROM challenge - or did someone else solve it elsewhere, please?
I can get one for $95. used but I only want it if it can be changed to a custom ROM with Google, MS, etc. bloat, spyware, etc. purged.
Thanks!
How can I get the file download
So far ive gained root, and made the first custom rom for the galaxy core prime, ill be compiling a custom recovery for this device when i get my linux PC buil environment set up again.
for ANYONE who wants to root use kingroot(not kingoroot)
exactly like superSU but seeing as CF autoroot/framaroot/towleroot dont support this device it will have to do until i release a root method for this device with superSU.
So here goes
ROOT - kingroot(not kingoroot)
RECOVERY - coming soon
CUSTOM ROM - revolutionary core prime(coming soon)
Thank you!!!
Have a core prime and always wanted to check out the Custom ROMs that came out. It's a SD410 so it shouldn't be as hard as if it were an Exynos (I know it is not easy anyways, but at least the Snapdragon makes it a bit easier).
Will read this thread and see what you make!
Thanks and good luck
Me
I would be glad to use custom recovery too ! Thanks

hi for what model of core prime?
I would like a custom rom for the Prime Core also
I have been searching for a recovery and rom. I rooted a while ago with kingroot and now I have trouble with recognizing the charger input. (Same charging issue with nextbook nx7 on diff charger). rebooting usually remedies this. I fear kingroot corrupted my kernel. I would love to replace it with a prerooted kernel.
Btw I'm using the s820c variant galaxy core prime from straight talk. It has the Snapdragon 410 as well.
Sm-g361h??
Does it work for the sm-g361h model??

theres no pre-rooted kernel, i can release an insecure ADBD one if you like that will have to be applied by dd method but that defeats the purpose

yes the root works for all, once i get a working recovery ill make a few recovveries for other variants if i even need to then we will have the wiespread oftions of roms, only thing i lack ATM is a working 64bit linux PC
Thanks for the quick reply Ricky. still looking forward to your finished recovery as well as the rom. Is it cm based, aosp based? This is big news! there is very little support for this phone. good luck in your work.
appreciate your brave work son, for what variation of the phone you gonna make it?

im not a big fan of CM based roms, id rather build a rom from software built for that device and only for it then build from a source that is universal with reduced capabillities
Let me know if I can help. I got root with odin 3.10 but as we are all aware, there aren't many (if any) recoveries and custom roms.

Twrp works to boot into recovery, though I have no idea whether or not flashing a custom rom will brick it. If you want to send me the one you made I can try mounting and see what happens.

Hey....can you please mirror kingroot for me, as opening it with the link you gave is not working (it shows a blank page and written on the top "you don't have permission ti view this")
Can u view this site? http://androidxda.com/download-kingroot-application

hey mate woul you be able to link me to the recovery you are using? and what device is it built for? the way we can check this is make a full backup in recovery then extract the backup andd see if it has backed up the right partitions, if it has we need to check if its the right format, im sure i read a while ago TWRP backs up with tar and just mounts all partitions and wipes the needed partitions recursively, if that is true we wont have to worry about the format but we will do our research an get this successfully up an running
I didnt actually get twrp installed just the app though I'm js u can still boot into recovery with it. Sorry for the mis lead. I am working on the kernel that shiny side posted up. I'll let u know when I get w it
