hello
anyway to get the original firmware for sprint usa galaxy s2?
Reason i ask is cause i was told to root my samsung galaxy s2 and followed the guide shown here on the site. Now the rooting went perfect but i didnt even realize/think that since this is the usa model its diferent from all the others wuth the buttons on the bottom, now after rooting the buttons dont work except the back button. Unless anyone here has another idea
thanks
P.s. sorry for double post just desperate here due to my phone not working with service or anything due to this dumb mistake i made
You need to flash a stock rom mate. Try Sam's firmware. Google it. Don't pannic

Hi
My cousine bought a new Samsung Galaxy s Anycall for 2 weeks ago. He is only 12 and obviously very keen on trying things, so he decided to upgrade his firmware. What i think he did wrong is to use the wrong firmware. If i understand the Sticky threads and Faqs on this forum correctly, then Anycall has a different firmware then the regular Samsung Galaxy S (correct me if i am wrong). Anyhow, the result is that the phone boots, loads the Samsung logo and then loads the Android Green logo, and just stays there. After attempting to flash the phone with Odin and a firmware suggested by one of the guides n this forum, it now boots into a window where it says something like UPGRADE and something else in chinese or korean. I would appritiate if someone could give me a link to a propar guide on how to get my cousines cell phone up and running again.
Common guys, nobody can answer?
Did u try flashing a kernal.

For example : I f**ed my phone by upgrading to ics and flashing a Gingerbread kernel ( no touch screen response) , also when I had my sgs vibrant you have to look at The first 3 letters in the baseband I think mine was uvk, match that up with roms and kernels. through trial and error I final got it right

I think its because the OP hasn't searched the forum for his answer (which it more than likely here somewhere) laziness isn't looked upon lightly here or anywhere on xda lol

You want to know what's funny? If you search on here for "rooting Note 3" ...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/search.php?searchid=315874282
... this is the very first thread that comes up.
Most of the other hits you get aren't all that helpful either, except maybe the "Root with Root De La Vega" thread, but that's a little advanced for someone who's never rooted the Note 3 before. I rooted my original Note, and it seems a little advanced to me ...
Knox is new to me too ... Do I really have to worry about tripping it?
Hello Xda Developers,
This is My First Post, I was browsing Internet For Precautions Before Rooting Cellphone, Im Currently Using Samsung galaxy S5

Baseband Version = G900HXXU1ANE2
Kernal Version= 3.10.9-1539356
Build Number = KOT49H.G900HXXU1ANE2"
And i wanted to Root It and Since Its My First Time I Understood somewhat that i need to note Things which are Mentioned Above in " "
Furthermore when i read They said You Should take help from trustworthy Website And Xda Developers was Mentioned there,
So here i am Asking For Help With a Humble Request, I really want to Root my Samsung Galaxy S5 Without Any Chances of Failures Or Brcking
Or Atleast Chances of Getting Back my Phone If It Fails or Something,
Since i am a beginer I needed Some of Your Time To Tell me How Can i Root My Cellphone Step by Step if possible,
I appreciate Your Reply
Thank You

You need to do a lot more reading. I suggest you spend a few hours reading up on things before even thinking of touching your phone, everything you need to know is on these forums. Good luck.

I agree, it sounds as if you may not fully understand what you are doing. Read up on what Odin is and what it does and what you are flashing to your phone. Do not want to end up with a brick!

Galaxy Note 3 first time rooter
Hi everyone, newcomer here. Thanks for providing this community to help people out and thanks to Chainfire for making CF-Auto-Root.
I have a Galaxy Note 3, and I've never rooted before because I really like Touchwiz and the useful features it provides. I've read the main post for CF-Auto-Root, so I understand this is supposed to be the easiest root method that's supposed to retain stock Touchwiz and nothing more.
Before I take the plunge, I just wanted to clarify my understanding to make sure I really do want to go ahead with rooting my Note.
1. When you say CF auto root is rooting my phone, does that mean it's just achieving a "state of being" with the phone, and not really installing or modifying anything else with Touchwiz (besides SuperSU)? As in, everything is the same as before, Touchwiz is the same as before, and the only thing different is that I've gained permission to access more things in the software?
2. My understanding is that I shouldn't lose any data, apps, home screen app layouts, etc?
3. Will I lose any functionality in Touchwiz? Like S-Pen features, Samsung apps, etc?
4. If I receive an update to 4.4.4 or 5.0, will I lose this cf-auto-root state?
Thanks everyone for helping out!

CF-Auto-Root flashes custom recovery, which installs the su binary and SuperSU application and then sets back the default stock recovery. Everything else remains unchanged, including TouchWiz.

You lose KNOX and all features related to it.

Most likely, though there is a chance, that su binary will not be removed, in that case you keep the root.
Hi, I have a Note 3 model number SM-N9005 which is factory unlocked with no carrier on 4.4.2 in the UK.
I'm trying to root using the CF auto root thread instructions here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2466423
I am unsure what file to download and was wondering if this one would work with my phone?
It is the second download option listed in the third post of the CF auto root thread.

Yes it is. That download is for Note 3 with Device Type = hlte and Product Name = hltexx.
Just to make sure, as the download is based on Device Type and Product Name, check these info for your device with this app: Phone INFO ★Samsung★ (in GENERAL INFO section).

Noob question
*edit* I didn't see the older question asking the same thing sorry you can ignore this
Hello everyone I am new to rooting phones and I was looking into CF-Auto Root since it is said to be beginner friendly. I was wondering if using this method would wipe my phone of everything I had on it or would it just give me root access while leaving everything else on the phone the same.

I know XDA is a reputable site, so I don't have to worry as much, but I know that theoretically speaking, downloading things outside of the official Android app store poses a risk for being malware or spyware.
So I'm only asking this in the spirit of just practicing utmost caution, how would I know that the CF-Auto-Root file, which can be found through the link below, is genuine and untampered with?

On your website with all the downloads for the CF-auto-root there is not an option for SM-N900V (Verizon) phones. Is this one that has not been tested yet?
good

why i cant download from this site?
