[ROMS] Updated: 20/02/2013 - Pre-Rooted Stock ROM Odin Packages

I am currently implementing an alternate method of Rooting which I have found to be successful by means of Pre-Rooting the factoryfs.img file.
Why use this Root Method? Well the main reasons are:
- You have a complete Odin Flashable ROM Package.
- No Insecure Kernels are used or required.
- You can flash these packages on Non-Rooted devices
- The Binary Flash Counter will NOT increase when flashing these ROM Packages.
- The Yellow Triangle will NOT appear at boot up.
- And finally, you only have to flash one file in Odin and you have a complete firmware including Root Permissions flashed to your device.
What Root Package is used in these ROMs?
- Busybox 1.20.2 (Newer ROMs)
- SuperSU 1.04 (Newer ROMs)
Note: Previously released ROMs may have an older Busybox and SuperSU package installed.
Please Note: This Root Method does not include clockworkmod Recovery. This is for people who only require Root Permissions.
If you do require clockworkmod Recovery, you will need to flash a CF-Root Kernel or other Root Modified Kernel. Old SBL is included in Modified Stock Packages so USB Jig may still be used.
New and Old SBL files are attached at the bottom of the second post in this thread should you require them.

As this is a time consuming process, ROMs will be added over time although some ROMs have been added already so keep checking back for updates.
If theres a ROM Package you would like uploaded then please feel free to drop me a PM.

Current Pre-Rooted Stock Firmwares:
If you find my Pre-Rooted Firmwares useful then please consider a small donation.
Just UnZip and Flash the '.tar.md5' File in Odin.
SBL Files are included at the bottom of this thread if you need them for any reason.

Note: If you are coming from a Custom ROM, remember to Wipe Data and Cache Partitions before flashing to avoid Boot Loops.

Doesn't always work especially with new upcoming builds, you're bound to run into some trouble with everroot sooner or later.
lyriquid: Nice idea. I actually created a pre-rooted package like this some time ago with LPB. Took some trial and error, it worked. Had some trouble updating it later on. Was it worth it, sure, but in the end we have Triangle Away. This app just killed the reason for everyone NOT to root their phones with insecure kernels.
That is unless we are talking about a GB build of course. A prerooted XWLA4 with a stock kernel? Sounds good to me.

No because Mobile Odin Roots the firmware on the fly and I believe your device has to already have Root access to do this but this method gives you a Clean and Pre-Rooted Package to flash in Odin on PC which means you can flash to a NON Rooted device and gain Root privledges.

Need to have root that's true.
So yes this really sounds interesting
Join forces with some ROM kitchen so the user can build it's own pre-rooted firmware and flash it with some newbie's proof application (one button)

Hmm Nice Idea..
Looking forward!!!

Interesting, thanks for your work! I'm gonna bookmark this and maybe try it out in the near future. I've been meaning to try out LP8 (am on LP7 Netherlands now), but haven't really found a reason to.
The XEU is UK, but will not give me any trouble, right? CSC is pretty useless if you don't use KIES anyway. No need to request a XEN CSC for The Netherlands then.

Can you elaborate on that 'trouble'? I've used Mobile Odin Pro and Everroot to root my device, but haven't yet found any problems with everroot. If there are in fact problems with ER, it would make flashing the firmware in this thread an even more interesting alternative.

Thanks a lot,
added to my bookmarks... to direct the people who need only Root on their ICS..
anticipating more stock versions soon...

Hi, CSCs arent really that important. All they contain are default language selections, bookmarks, and bundled apps. They are for if people who just want things to match up with the country they are in. Intratech has a whole list of CSC packages in his thread that you could simply just flash after flashing one of my Pre-Rooted ROMs. Then you will have Root and correct CSC.

Thanks. I had a hunch that would be the case, but I haven't located a XEN (Dutch) CSC yet in Intratech's thread (was looking at his Frankenstein LP8 ROM before).
I'll figure it out though. So far, I'm not experiencing any trouble with my current ROM, so until **** hits the fan, I'll just keep this useful thread bookmarked.

Wow, I appreciate that offer a lot. If it's not too much trouble, I'd love to have a separate XEN CSC. Can't hurt to have on file, right? But don't let it take up too much of your time; I probably won't be doing any changes anytime soon, after five flashes in three weeks.

Flashed this earlier matey on my unbranded UK S2 and the install went smooth as silk via Odin Mobile Pro. Muchos thanks for your efforts

Can we have a mirror link for this plz!

This is a really interesting idea and I'm surprised more people haven't thought to do this.
Is there any chance you could upload a XSALP4 version?
Thanks in Advance

Gesendet von meinem GT-N8000 mit Tapatalk 2

Notw 10.1 WiFi
Does anyone have the official software for the Note 10.1?
I flashed the build on my WiFi N8010 from SamMobile but it's a retail demo version and is missing the lock screen, security settings etc.
Cheers

I tried the Luxembourg ROM and its got a ton of bloatware. No problem if you're rooted and can do some clean-up but a waste of space if you're not. Also, the EU Media Hub won't work from the U.S. and can't be spoofed. The TTT ROM is the cleanest.

Hello forum!
limestar: you can remove the retail/demo app (the video that starts right after your screen goes dim) by rooting the device, setting RW permissions to /system/app and removing the first app in the /system/app list (if I remember it correctly it's first one, anyway it's easily distinguished). No need to flash it. Actually it wasn't removed for some reason after I flashed the firmware found on sammobile (I am very new to flashing). Anyway if you do this please let me know what was the package name as I have to make instructions how to remove the thing and I cannot remember the package name and can't find the name on my gadget.

Closed as per OP's request.

he have the note 3 with xsi not sin

Firmware OTA updates depends on region. Like in US it 1st releases and after few time in other countries one by one due to localization. Also it depends on career those have taken locked version under contract, like Verizon released the 4.4 in May where I got it many month back, even another latest firmware update recently.
So check google news, for your region or check other phones in your region. If they provides you will definitely get it. If others got it then contact Samsung.

I know. But shld not be a problem mate.
Mine is BTU. I flashed so many region alrd : DBT, XSI, SIN and BTU itself.
All run well.
Since I m flashing with odin, I don't really care abt region.
Worst case (if happen, so far never), just flash csc of ur own region.

Yes mate. Pain in the ass when u wipe to clean.
OTA got bad habit. Happened. To 2 of my friends already. They do OTA, enjoying it with data still intact. One day, all of sudden phone freeze, reboot, auto wipe. Puff, all gone.
Another one more also same. Freeze, never reboot auto, just stay freezing, phone very hot, unplug battery, boot and stuck at Samsung logo. Finally factory reset as well. Both can't save their data.
This happened. To my friends who do OTA from 4.3 to 4.4.2 but dun want to wipe.

[Q] Which KitKat after a move?

I've got the following identifiers for my phone:
AP: I9505XXUEND1
CP: I9505XXUEND1
CSC: I9505TELENC1
I've moved from Australia (Telstra) to the US (AT&T). I'm on Jellybean, and rooted so that I could do backups with Titanium Backup. I've started to have stability issues where SystemUI crashes occasionally, and at a rate of about once daily. I haven't been able to identify the cause of the problem. Seems like aLogger only shows me logs when I start it up, which I usually only do after a crash.
I'm considering making a move to KitKat. However, I'm not even sure if there is an upgrade out there for me. I don't see one for either Australia or US. Anyone know if there's an appropriate one for me? And while I'm at it, should I consider changing my baseband from the Telstra one to an AT&T one?
Thanks for your advice.

Unable to update Note 3

I bought the phone which was brand new, couple of years ago. I wanted to update it to the latest OS but was unable to do so as it says it was modified.
After extensive research online, i came to know i have to flash the stock rom using Odin. But i am unable to find the stock firmware that matches the codes.
These are the results from *#1234#
AP : N9005XXUBMI7
CP : N9005XXUBMI6
CSC : N9005OJVBMI2
I am unable to trace the stock ROM firmware. Appreciate if anyone could give the link and the instructions if possible.
EDIT: Okay i managed to download the stock ROM of 4.3 from a website and successfully flashed it. But being in 4.3 it says the phone is up to date and has no updates available when i check for new updates

Use the newest XXU* Version fitting to your home country best. In my case you would need Germany (DBT) because it was a unbranded german phone. Thus I need PDA: N9005XXUGBOK6 and CSC: N9005DBTGBOI1. Because I am NOT using stock at all anymore, I always use the newest BL and MODEM, but in your case just use the most recent Firmware which fits your origin and provider.

Seems like Sri Lanka has a N9005ODD* CSC in recent FWs, but you have a N9005OJV* one used in South Africa and Morocco currently.
So I would try these:
http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/download/62194/N9005XXUGBOK9_N9005OJVGBOI1_XFM (South Africa)
http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/download/61958/N9005XXUGBOK9_N9005OJVGBOI1_MWD (Morocco)
No guarantee though, but in theory it's not interesting at all which FW you use. At least I already used DBT ones and Nordic Country NEE ones and had no problems in the past.
So you could try http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/download/62526/N9005XXUGBOK6_N9005ODDGBOJ1_SLK (Sri Lanka) too. But as I said, FW update always is a risk and if you don't know how to fix stuff, it can be a nice activity for a whole weekend to fix stuff again.
If you want to be more sure and secure... load https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.vndnguyen.phoneinfo and send the stuff shown in "General", "CSC-Code", "Firmware" and "Android" in here. Most interesting is the "Active CSC Code"

Isn't the different PDA version a problem?

Nope. PDA version changes from time to time. Check the firmwares for CSC XSI and you will see that they are Android version dependent. Same can be seen for any country.
