I followed the directions here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1033586&highlight=
I basically want to return my tab to stock after I rooted it. I followed that guide and everything completed successfully according to heimdall. I wiped data/cache, factory reset.. Then I tried to update with the system update utility on the tab, it fails about 1/3 way through.
I think the baseband/modem is the wrong file. I think I need to use the DJ11 file with the DJ11 rom, can anyone confirm this?
Does anyone have the DJ11 modem.bin file?
Under the About device on the tab it says this:
model number: SCH-I800
Firmware version: 2.2
Baseband Version: S:I800.0.3V.EI04
Kernel version: 2.6.32.9 [email protected] #3
build number: SCH-I800: DJ11
TIA
I'm running into the same problems after stupidly flashing a sprint rom on to my vzw device. I can't get the 3G back working. I've tried 3 different modem.bin files, and they all take me to baseband E104. I'm thinking I need to get the DJ11 modem file so I can flash the entire stock rom image with heimdall and start from scratch again.
I downloaded the Verizon-GTab_Stock.zip that lexriley had posted and extracted everything in it. It looks to be a 100% complete stock dump, including the mode.bin, bootloaders, and.pit file. However, when Heimdall gets to flashing the modem.bin file, it just stops and hangs at 100%..... Any help?
maybe past its usefulness but,
I screwed up my modem file on sch-i800 and was unable to find the original file so...intelligent or not I heimdalled the modem file from the i-500 and it worked. No problems so far. Wish I could post the file but I don't have it anymore. I was able to google it though. Hope this helps.

Hello!
I am using heimdall frontend on a Ubuntu/Linux to flash. I loaded it on my system and everything seems to work. I just cannot get it to load the root file.
I have figured out I need a tar.gz not tar.md5 like on a windows odin version flashing app.
I got the root firm here:
http://download.chainfire.eu/399/CF-Root/CF-Auto-Root/CF-Auto-Root-hllte-hlltexx-smn7505.zip
I assume that I need a firmware for my sm-n7505 that is maybe for the type installation I a flashing from. Is there a none windows flashing root file that works with Hemidall? I have searched and searched and all flashing root firmwares seem to be for Windows systems. Anyone point me to a place to get the correct flash rooting firmware for my device sm-n7505??
Much appreciated.
I am having difficulties in rooting my device. Tried several types of root for couple of days, non worked. Now I need some help.
SM-G7102
JELLY BEAN 4.3
Baseband version:G7102ZTUANG1
Kernal version: 3.4.0.2812015
Build number: JLS36C.G7102ZTUANL1
I have tried so far on Odin:
CF-Autoroot
Philz Touch
Both returned successful, but when root checking done it says not rooted.
USB Debug, Unknown sources, PC drivers for Samsung all have been checked and setup.
When I tried to flash SuperSU-v2.46, it says "Failed to verify whole-file signature"(i guess this is due to unrooted device)
Please help.
Solved!
Very strange, I manage to download a firmware from sammobile, which has different PDA & CSC numbers but same model and update my device with Android 4.4.2. using Odin.
I then go on to flash CF Root and it was successful.
So, in my opinion, firmware update will simply clear existing ROM and update with new one which will be able to root. People with rooting difficulties may try this technique.
My friend overseas recently got the new Galaxy A5 (SM-A5100) from China and asked me for some help rooting her device and installing the google play store.
Unfortunately I've never used any Android devices before so this is a whole "first timer" situation and would gladly like some help in understanding the best and least risky process for rooting this device.
This is more or less what I know at this point after hours of searching online:
1) CF-Auto-Root is probably the easiest tool for someone with no experience rooting.
2) Unfortunately a CF-Auto-Root for this model has not been made yet.
3) The boot and recover images from the firmware are required to make the CF-Auto-Root.
I think I found the version of the firmware from samsung-firmware.org and have extracted the image files. Hopefully this source is credible. I'll upload the files later using mega if that's fine?
[NOTE: so apparently I can't post links yet since this is my first post, welp. Will update later or try to PM it instead if that works.]
Here's the information that I have from my friend's device:
Samsung Galaxy A5 (2016)
Model#: SM-A5100
Android Version: 5.1.1
Baseband version: A5100ZCU1AOL5
Kernel version: 3.10.49-6418683 (Mon Dec 14 18:59:12 KST 2015)
Build#: LMY47X.A5100ZCU1AOL5
And here's the information about the firmware I have according to the download page mentioned earlier:
Phone: Samsung Galaxy A5
Model: SM-A5100
PDA Version: A5100ZCU1AOL5
CSC Version: A5100CHC1AOL5
PHONE Version: A5100ZCU1AOL5
Region: CHC
Country: China (Open China)
Build Date: 14.12.2015
Changelist: 6418683
OS: Lollipop
OS Version: 5.1.1
Is there any other information I need to get to request the CF-Auto-Root and how/where might I find it? Or am I completely going about this the wrong way?
Thanks in advance!
You can try the kingroot app. http://www.kingroot.net/wap
You can indeed try kingroot, just tried it without luck..
Any luck? I just got my A5 (2016) and I desperately need to root!

CF Root does not support SM-A5100 as of the moment same with King Root. However if your sole purpose of rooting the device is to install Google services on it , then there is no need.
A5 2016 has many version and varies depending on the country it is being released . The SM-A5100 phone kit is the A5 2016 version release for Mainland China and Hong Kong SAR.
Since your friend purchased the phone from Mainland China, the Phone will be configured without Google in it as Google Services are not allowed at that Country. The good thing is that you don't need to root the Phone in order to install Google Services . All you need to do is download a Stock Samsung Firmware for SM-A5100 that is configured for HKG.
Take note, you need to flash the stock Firmware configured for HKG and not for Mainland China. I can see from your post that you have downloaded the Firmware for Mainland China?
These are the things you need :
1. Stock Firmware for SM-A5100 configured for HKG SAR
2. Samsung USB Drivers
3. ODIN Flash Tool
I assume that you already know how to flash a Samsung devise using the ODIN Flash tool , if not here are the basis steps
Extract (unzip) the firmware file
Download Odin
Extract Odin ZIP file
Run Odin
Reboot Phone in Download Mode (press and hold Home + Power + Volume Down buttons)
Connect the phone and wait Odin detects it.
Add the firmware file to AP / PDA , insure re-partition option is NOT ticked
Click the start button and wait for the process to finish .
This should work as I have gone thru the same process .
All the best

Settings always stop. I can't open it.
Hope this helps:
I'm not responsible for you doing something wrong...
Make sure you download the correct stuff...
Warranty WILL void during flashing (samsung KNOX will get triggered :/ )
Needed:
1. Download odin on pc
2. Get the latest twrp recovery (or cwm) for that specific device
3. Download the universal root package down below (this package can be used for any device and will install supersu itself...)
Process:
1. Copy the supersu update zip package to your phone's storage
2. Enter download/odin mode
3. Startup odin and connect your phone to your pc (I recommend using the original usb cable you got with the device ?)
4. You should see a text in the odin log saying "added"
5. Add the twrp package in the AP slot in odin
6. Go to options in odin and deselect auto reboot
7. Hit start
8. It should start and on your phone you should see downloading
9. When done immediately reboot your phone into recovery (or your phone will delete twrp and replace it with the original again... thanks samsung ?)
10. Click install and search for the supersu package (INSTALL IT) (DON'T LET TWRP ROOT YOUR DEVICE)
11. After installing reboot system and you are done

Please I have a Samsung A5 2016 with Chinese mainland firmware but with Android 6.0.1 Will this method still work?? ?
Hey I found source from a thread.
(unable to link ask via message)
and I been looking to Bypass FRP protection from my galaxy s8, because I forgot the email it had, I tried everything,
So I downloaded the latest version of odin.
My Recovery version is 8.0.0
G950USQS3CRE2
so I downloaded the correct firmware and the Combination file
G950USQS3CRE2_G950UOYN3CRE2_BST
witch I think is compatible with my boot version.
So I'm not sure if its the compatible the combination file and Odin doesn't recognize the device on Android recovery mode.
Help will be very much appreciated.
