it seems to me that something happened recently that bricked everyone's a500, because it's all I'm seeing on the front page and all are recent posts...
but most people are using JB and such, I just have a stock ROM unlocked, and overclocked... still can't pass the acer logo boot screen. it just crashed before my eyes the other day, I was watching a video about lasers
I've tried to update with the latest update.zip... nothing.
I'm at a loss at what is the best next step, I'm no noob, but, I'm no pro either.
any help? ideas?
And have u read any of the posts in those recent threads that are marked as solved?

yeah, they all involve custom recovery bootloaders, TWRP, CM10, JB and/or V8, if I had made those mods I'd have more options on how to fix it.
so far the only option I seem to be able to have is loading an update.zip, which I got the latest one and doesn't work.
MOD EDIT: Inflammatory comments removed.
Ok, let's cool off and take 5.
Bricked tablets are frustrating, and depressing. Trust me, I know this personally, on more than 1 occasion. But no need to let tempers flare. After all, the primary goal is to get things working.
I can personally vouch for @dibb_nz in his willingness to help a ton of people get tabs working. So no need for people to get "testy".
Not all tablets can be unbricked, but most can. It requires a lot of searching, and reviewing threads which had success. As with the 500/501, the very first step is to get the UID number. If a user does not have their UID number written down, then it requires installing Ubuntu on their pc, and getting it that way.I believe dibb has a link for it in the signature I believe. If not, lots of info for it in Q & A recently with some of the Solved cases.
Oh, and the 500/501 is not the only tab having issues like this. All the tabs do (currently working the same issue in the 700 forums, but we don't have NVFlash).
So no more testy comments from anybody please.
Cheers.

I've been reading up on this, but it is entitle different flashing these ROMs than worth the S3 I'm use to. Would there happen to be a video tutorial for it anyplace?

Ok, my next question do you use CWR as he does in the video? I always thought the recovery of choice was Safestrap for this phone.
You nee to supply some info...
What version of Note 3 you have, N900 or N9005?
What version of Android you running, JB or KK?
What recovery are you using, stock, TWRP or CWM?
Once you supply these things you might get a bit more help...
And if yo don't understand these questions you need to do some SERIOUS reading before you brick your device...

I've been reading and watching videos for the past 3 weeks now. But coming from the S3 method of flashing has been nothing less than different.
The problems I am encountering is from different methods to flash different roms on the same phone. I see some that can be flashed using SS, but others need a pc. It is also confusing that the video of the rom I wish to flash is using one recovery, but reading about it, another recovery is preferred. There are also inconsistencies between videos and written instructions, mainly because of the age of some of them.
In any case, I am on stock JB with my AT&T N900A. I have SS recovery.

As you have the AT&T Note 3, I'd go to that forum - http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-3-att
Using advice for a different device might not brick your phone but then again it costs a large amount to replace if you're wrong... You should find answers there...
I don't want to be responsible for potentially bricking your phone by giving advice meant for another device...
Cheers mate...
Generally though, to flash a custom rom your put the rom onto your external sd card, go to recovery and "flasah zip". Find the rom file and sit back for a few minutes and wait. The only real difference is the gui of the recovery...
Also, as a precaution, make a backup of your rom....
Kitkat needs KK bootloaders installed which is why you generally upgrade with ODIN to KK 1st, at least thats what you do with the International N9005....
This is an effort to consolidate fixes, tweaks and mods specific to the rooted G955U/G955U1 SnapDragon S8+ via SamPWND.
The initial release of root for this version by the development, contributions and tireless efforts from elliwigy, Harry44, akiraO1, BotsOne, GSMCHEN and jrkruse are obviously being enjoyed by many, as is evident by the visits to elliwigy's release page.
Unfortunately, that thread is in dire need of clean-up because it has become a hodgepodge of redundant rooting questions, helpful answer posts (and complaints), all infused with a few mods and tweaks mentioned.
So let's share what can be done (and what cannot thus far) with this rooted version.
Please (!!!), already be aware of which device you have, and if SamPWND works on your device. "How do / Can I root my..." questions simply don't belong here!
Let's try to keep it clean in here by looking around the forum first before posting, but also by being helpful and not condescending to those of us enjoying root who are perhaps not as knowledgeable about such matters as others.
Some of the most common questions being asked, and their answers from that thread
Flashfire infinitely spinning for part 2 root steps
Turn on airplane mode
Is there a fix for the 80% battery max capacity?
No, and it seems unlikely at this stage. Make yourself happy and hide your battery percentage.
Green/glitchy screen
Most (including myself) have resolved or heavily mitigated this via the AQI1 fw posted recently.
S8+: https://forum.xda-developers.com/ga...sampwnd-root-green-screen-corruption-t3673810
S8: https://forum.xda-developers.com/ga...ampwnd-green-screen-corruption-fixed-t3673782
Does Magisk work with this root?
No.
Does Xposed work on this root?
Unofficially yes, search for unofficial Xposed s8, it will be in the device forums. Edit-or use this link: https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s8+/how-to/unofficial-xposed-guide-snapdragon-s8-t3663728
Can I install custom roms?
No, the BL is still locked. The last I read is there are some ideas around how we might achieve an unlock, but nothing so far. There's is the modified stock rom available in the OP of the root thread that provides csc and superSU but beyond that, no.
Screen rotation is messed up / reversed
You downloaded the wrong step 1 files. Try again for your device (plus or non-plus)
I can't think of any other recurring questions, but I've been keeping up to date on that post for more of the 318-or-so pages, and there's a lot of other useful information held within them. Worth a read.
Awesome first response!
So can I start with this:
"Unofficial Xposed'...
Where are the where's & how's located for our specific device, along with the yeahs & no's about what Xposed can do? I've looked and read, but there really is no clear post (that I have found) saying that our model can (or can't) DL Xposed and make things work.
Out of level 8, I'm probably a level 2 coming from rooting back in the days of the first Droid LOL! So I figure if we can keep things down to a level 3 or 4 here, we can learn and teach about WHY certain things won't work.
I'm also very interested in the capabilities of our camera. I used to use chdk to hack Cannon P&S cameras, and despite all my hours doing so, the hardware could never deliver night shots like this phone!

You may have read my post just before I edited it to add the links. The link I posted for the s8 is where all if the Xposed info is held for our devices. I am currently running it with the latest fw I also linked to with no problems. That thread also contains a few modules the OP has verified working. I am currently only using it for a couple of tweaks from "all my.." and xVoice++. I also was utilizing this Xposed version before flashing the fw mentioned, and it's worked perfectly for both. I can't remember which fw I was on previously though.
regarding camera mods, I made an attempt the moment I got the phone to replace the stock camera with a ported pixel, before researching how to do it properly these days. Wound up with crashing camera warnings every 30 seconds and my backup wouldn't restore properly in titanium and had to reset completely and start fresh.
I used to root back in the Motorola Droid (original) days, when root required 30-or-so lines of commands, I'm sure you remember funny how we've come full circle. I swapped to iPhone for the iPhone 4, enjoyed a bootrom exploit for several iOS versions, and stuck with apple up until just last weekend so it's been a while since I've been on the root scene myself, much has changed indeed. It's the first Android device (S8+ here) that actually made me want to switch away from apple, and I don't yet regret it.
nice concept.. just a forewarning tho, these posts typically go in general discussion..

Thanks! And it's alright if it gets moved there so long as it still helps everyone out and you wizards walk through once in a while to bless us all with a bit of wisdom. LOL!
Meanwhile, for as long as it's allowed to stay here, it might serve well to keep distractions off your release thread.

Considering less than one hour after I replied with the common questions and answers, someone asked about flashfire on page like 318 again, I'm sure this post is pretty low on priority for the people who tend to ask the questions.
I just finished rooting my sprint s8+ with sampwned. I installed my 256gb micro sdcard and I get the kernel panic reboot to error screen. Am I unable to use the sdcard? I'm scouring xda for any info. Just looking for a little help if anyone knows anything I don't. Thanks.
Nice idea OP.
Some fixes may be had by using the @partcyborg ROM for S8. It is in the S8 ROMs, Kernels, ... Forum https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s8/development/root-partcyborgrom-aqi6-deodexed-t3702988

Hello, i upgraded from Redmi Note 3 Pro to this beautiful phone and i just wanted to know what precautions should i take before rooting it on the original fw that it came with?
Because every rom i tried on Redmi Note 3 Pro just slowed down after weeks so i just stuck with MIUI, thanks.

I can't tell any ROMs (stock or custom) that don't slow down after weeks of usage: when you install and use lots of apps, use heavy themes and effects, not close heavy apps after use, not restart your phone regularly, etc.?
You can search the forums for useful tips. :fingers-crossed:

You probably misread, or i wasn't clear. I'm not searching custom rom and i stated why. I just wanted to know how could i root redmi note 7 without bricking it. Are there any precautions , something i should know? Plus, it already came unlocked ,because when i booted, in the bottom of splash screen it said unlocked.

If you just want to know how to root RN7 then follow the thread linked above. That thread covers almost everything you'd like to do with your phone. Just proceed as directed and enjoy the power of Android. :angel:
The 2nd paragraph in your 1st post was unnecessary though.
1) Is there a list of available Roms for this tablet?
2) If there isn't a list of roms, perhaps people could post the ones they have and I can make a new post containing links to roms that I will maintain as long as people let me know when/if links die.
*Old roms are just fine, just as long as they are unique.
3) Are there any amazon stock roms available I can flash with TWRP?
*I didn't know if you can somehow flash an amazon stock rom with it and then just customize it, pre root it? then make an image of it myself with TWRP.
Wishful thinking, is it that simple?
Also if there are any knowlageble people on any of this subject we should make an IRC channel on libera.chat.. I can start if if there is interest.
Thanks,

Thanks, yeah... I was looking more for a method to flash via twrp and not use anything stock other than the OS image. There were a couple releases of two different roms that were pre rooted stock. I didn't know how popular those were.
I'm just running into weird issues. I have an app I'm writing in processing.org for andriod and the frame rates I'm getting varies so much on different roms. The rom i'm using is one of these
lineage-12.1-20200505-UNOFFICIAL-suez
lineage-14.1-20190926-UNOFFICIAL-suez
Super old, but honestly if that's what I get, that's what I get.
I tried this too
5620_Fire_HD_10_pre_rooted_optimized_stock_rom-signed
Based on how all this stuff works, I didn't know if I had the ability to download the latest amazon image and make my own flashable rom to "try out" vs be in a situation where I would update it all and then not able to go back. I'd rather not.
Thanks for the response.

try stock rom and root it mgisk from twrp
I would like to try all the available roms to figure out which one works the best with the app I'm writing.
But I only want to try roms flashable with TWRP.

Have a file name of that rom so I can google sleuth and give that a try?
You know I was tempted to make a post that just has a link to all the roms available.
Is found here 12.1 Cyanogen
Is that this one? lineage-12.1-20200505-UNOFFICIAL-suez.zip
