How do you root the Verizon GALAXY Tab 2 7.0 running JB 4.1.2? Just picked up my device today and it auto updated while I was gone from the home..
Look at the root/bootloader/recovery thread in the Development. Quick search goes a long way

How do I get rid of this Custom icon with an unlock icon that shows up when my device boots? On my S3 I just had to unlock the bootloader to get rid of it. How do I do that on the Tab?
Did you follow all the steps in the root/BOOTLOADER/recovery thread?

All I wanted to do was root the device so I did not do any of the unlocking stuff. Do I need to unlock like I had to on my S3 to get rid of the custom unlock icon on boot?

Hey Mr. Hyde
I found your thread here on rooting the VZW tab 2 7.0:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1885558
And was wondering if it works for the VZW tab 2 10.1, SCH-i915
I've been scouring this site for months now and still have yet to find a working root. Thanks!
This is a system image from the i705. It MIGHT be compatible with the 915, but I can't say nor do I recommend it unless you get have a stock odin image to flash back to.

Ahh ok thanks! I'm looking for a link on how to make my own stock rom from my i915 because I haven't been able to find any stock roms for it on the forums so far. Just gotta figure out how to do that haha.
Is there a stock image for the I705?
Sent from my Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 7.0
Only the stock rooted version. No leaked Odin firmware unfortunately.

So if anything happens I can always Odin the stock rooted version right?

If anything happens to your ROM, yes.

I just hope it can still get OTA updates. Nut then we would need another custom kernel wouldn't we? OTA rootkeeper would keep the root.
Another custom kernel for ota? Nah, Just wait for one of us to rape the ota and make it safe for custom users then wait for updated builds.

I'm sure you can carrier unlock your S4 and allow you to use another Sim card. Try searching for it

I think you can carrier unlock for 3G data only. But I think Sprint has to give you the code, and you have to be off contract or paid up on your phone.
If you look around you will see the domestic unlock only rolls when you are on mf9 bootloader and can go back to mdc If you are on 4.4.2 the best you can do is foreign unlock after 90 days on Sprint and then they will unlock it.

I have an AT&T Galaxy S 4, SGH-I337 running Android 4.4.2 and I want to unlock it. I haven't had any luck with doing it my self through the Service Menu, I guess due to KitKat.
My question is If I use Towelroot to root my phone, will I be able to unlock my phone and use on T-Mobile?
Thanks for all the great stuff on your site!
Have you tried this? It's in the general forum

I have a Verizon S4 that is currently unlock and works on AT&T network, but I will like to have a Full AT&T Rom in it, Can I just install a ROM from the development section? or even use Odin to get a Full Stock AT&T Rom in it?
thanks.

I'm no expert, but with two years of advancement, I'm sure there's going be some hurdles in implementing that into this version, but man, I'd love to see it happen.
