Hello!
I am new here. Actually, both, here and in Android world (was on iPhone up to - recently :{))
Sooo, after i manage to break (literally, BREAK) my iPhone, I got a tablet as a present.
It is NTT DOCOMO SC-02D tablet, - basicaly, it is Samsung Galaxy Tab 7.0 plus.
So, I got a tablet FULL of very unusefull stuff from DOCOMO.
However, since i am not in Japan, and I am still able to use my t-com network to make phone-calls through sim card, and also, I can connect to wifi networks here - it (my tablet) is either unlocked, or something (marriage - like) happened with world's biggest providers of mobile phone services :{D.
I am completely new to Android and I am actually totally in the dark here. And, guess what: forums doesn't help much, since I can get instructions and tutorials about anything, but as fragments that I just cannot connect to be sure I am doing things right.
So, here goes my question:
I want to erase all docomo software and system from my tablet and install new and fresh android, that I can fill and use as i please!!
Basically, I want to reinstall my tablet. How to do that??
What I learned so far is all about rooting and unlocking, but I don't think I could find instructions to INSTALL ANDROID FRESH anywhere.
One other thing, - I DID FIND SUPERUSER icon in my apps, so does it means somebody rooted my tablet already?
Main reason for me not already trying anything is because I saw that my baseband version is sc02domkk9 - which means it is something of docomo ... So, since I had a problem with my iPhone, when I updated my baseband and therefore couldn't use wifi for a month or so - I need to be sure it won't happen again - that or bricking my tab ...
Thanx in advance for all Your participation in this thread ...
C'mon, guys, nobody??
Well, can someone please tell me is there any way to UNINSTALL apps that are DOCOMO's? I don't get option to uninstall them regulary ...
Ok, can anyone advice me on what ROM can i install on my device??
NTT DOCOMO Samsung Galaxy Tab 7.0 plus
As You can see, - learning in my walk:{D

Hi!i just made quite a deal with a galaxy tab here in Portugal. Its from the TMN operator and guess what, its filled with crappy apps that i cant remove. So i was wondering what would be the best option here regarding samsung "official" firmwares....I also havent flashed anything yet so i dont really know what all programs are necessary, but ive seen references to a ODIN app. and pit files. So i was wondering if i could get some help from the community. Also the tab suffers from sluggish web browsing and the notifications bar is also sluggish when calling up and down.
regards,
You actually don't need to install a custom firmware; All you have to do is root it (search z4root) and then use a file explorer or adb to remove the apps from the /system/app folder. Backup everything you intend to remove, because you may accidently remove something vital.

Hi guys, was just about to start a similar thread, I bought a tab online from bestbuy expecting delivery on Wednesday, just wanted to know what I ll do when the tab comes.
I have already got my case and screen protector ready.
Number 1 I believe will be root, what apps are recommended to keep and remove etc, I believe there are no custom roms for now...
Also is there Google market available for the tab?
Thanks in advance.
gf is getting a galaxy tab from telstra, now i was wondering if these can be flashed to debrand them of the telstra software to make the software as it was from samsung or if its possible to root it and install newer android os such as 3.0 ?
which version of the tab do telstra use? the current is 10.1 right?
I have now flashed my Optus SGT several times with various ROMs, and I am sure that the Telstra Tabs can also be done successfully. However, unless you are already very comfortable with this process, I would recommend a lot of reading in this forum before trying anything like you want to do.
I have found this forum to be a mine of information on the topic, and there is a very good starting guide in the Galaxy Tab Android Developers Forum - [REF] ***Galaxy Tab Directory (Bible)*** 2/19/2011
Unfortunately I haven't yet figured out how to do the link, but you would certainly find it with a search on "Galaxy Tab Directory (Bible)"
Hope this helps.
PS - My current preference is for Overcome 1.2.3
cheers mate, im proficient in putting roms on my htc desire so i assume it would be a similar affair with this device, shall look into what you have mentioned and its great to here that roms do exist for this device.
Hey all!
So I finally rid myself of my Apple devices since their support bricked my iPad and refuses to fix it! I got myself a sweet Galaxy Note 3 and love it so far! My issue is that I'm currently living in China for work and my phone is the Chinese Version: SM-N9006 running Android 4.3 with build: J2215J.N9006ZCUDMK2. The AP/CP is N9006ZCUDMK2. I managed to get into the English Samsung app store via VPN and removing the sim card, however, I still cannot get any Google apps since I don't have Google Play installed.
The phone was purchased about a week ago and should be the most recent phone and software version.
Yes, I'm prolly by far the biggest noob in this forum and I'm pooping my pants to brick it somehow XD but well, there's a beginning for everything... I've been on Apple for very long and a bit overwhelmed with the Android platform. So far I've read a couple of sites, forums, discussions, etc. on the benefits of rooting the phone. I found a pretty good explanation on this site by michael1982t:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2495375&page=4
So I have a few questions and would greatly appreciate if someone would take the time and get back at me.
The instructions were writting in October 2013. How relevant are they? Are there any new versions or methods on how to root the Note 3?
Would you guys suggest that this is the way to do it?
In many forums I read about rooting the China Version Note 3 SM-N9006... however, it states that it is the N9006ZCUDMI2 or MI3 version... I have the -MK2 version. Is that a big deal? Will that cause me some kind of software conflict? I have no idea what this number stands for
I'm a bit worried about KNOX and not being able to get into the phone again. I have the activation service turned off and don't really care about the 1 year China-only warranty.
Once the phone is rooted, I then can install the US Platform on it that has all English Apps, Google Store, etc? So from what I understand I would format the phone and play the US platform on it? Or would I just tweak the apps, remove the unwanted Samsung bloatware and Chinese Apps? Would I need the official Android platform or are there any "better" platforms to use? I read something about flashed/roms or gingerbread OS that give much more flexibility and control as to using the phone and getting the most out of it.
I'm running Windows 7. Is Windows XP essential since it is described in the post? I wouldn't think so but I better ask.
From what I read, the only software I need to download to my pc are:
ODIN, CWM recovery and CF-AutoRoot - is that all? Or would someone recommend anything else.
Do I need Samsung Kies at all?
I hope perhaps someone has had the same phone and questions and got an answer or somehow figured it out. I greatly appreciate any help!
Cheers!!

TL;DR Help a newbie with upgrading my rooted Note 3 from 4.4.2 to a more current version please. I'm old and dumb and really tried to find an answer before embarrassing myself on a forum of experts. Knowing me, the answer is probably right under my nose. Go easy on me <3
Hey guys,
I used the search function on this site and on google but was unable to find what I'm looking for.
I have a Samsung Galaxy Note 3 with T-Mobile. I have Android aversion 4.4.2 and my model number is SM-N900T.
I rooted my phone using a guide I found on youtube to get superuser for the purpose of being able to play emulators on my phone, such as Snes9x EX+, Nostalgia.NES Lite, ePSXe, etc. They all work great. I am not using a custom ROM.
The problem I'm facing is that I don't understand if I need to unroot (correct term?) my phone and just get the auto updates, or to download and install them manually, but I'm unable to receive auto updates over the air as I'm sure you guys would know since this is your hobby and are versed in this sort of thing. I don't even know how to do either really properly but am not afraid to try.
The reason I'm wanting to upgrade now (which might be completely unrelated) is that I haven't been receiving text messages from either my sister or my roommate, whom both of their last messages were received by me on Aug. 5th. I tried contacting my carrier and they said they didn't detect a problem. Both of their carriers said the same thing (one being T-Mobile as well). I guess this is just another step in troubleshooting but I would like to believe this is a network issue.
Any advice would help and would be greatly appreciated. Thank you very much.
Hi all,
My old vibe died and couldnt find a better phone on the market since 2015 so got a new one. However I dont know what the heck is installed on this one.
I have never rooted before but have a cs degree so im not out my league. With the details in the image below, do you know what I can do to get stock installed?
The phone has a trojan application called fun weather and i cant remove it. Have done everything from root access to hard deleted. But as soon as i get wifi again it downloads. Are all custom roms like this so the developer can make cash? I also dont know if this is ROW or China. It has google services installed.
VERSION AND DETAILS SCREENSHOT HERE (2K image here fills the whole browser.)

Maybe this was one of the early firmware. Lenovo has given 5.0 to this mobile. Why didn't you try to update it?
