Hi, I have Galaxy Tab A tablet locked with t-mobile.
1. Is there a way to unlock it without root?
2. If it only can be unlocked with root then what is the simplest way to root?
3. What unlock way is the best?
Details:
Android: 5.0.2
Kernel: 3.10.49-5379129
Thank you in advance
Hi,
You can also use a third party unlocking service for this, which will change the status of your tablet in T-Mobile's database.

Hi there,
See if any of these instructions work for your phoneMod Edit
First post in a forum ever...
Funny thing is that i just rooted my Tab A (T357T) from scratch not knowing a hing about rooting.
Pretty sure that you can not unlock without root; I did a lot of research on this.
That being said, I installed a custom recovery (TWRP v2.8.7) via Odin v3.12.3 (link can be found elsewhere on this website) first in order to flash Super SU and thereby root my Tab A. Upon exit from the recovery booter, TWRP should ask if you wish to root; program will then take care of it for you. You will only need to verify and handshake on the system side via the Super SU app found in the play store. ROOT AWAY...
Root isnt unlock.

Hi all, this is my first post on XDA. I was wondering if anyone had the stock recovery/firmware of the galaxy a5 a500w model (it kinda just came out in canada). I need this asap to flash it back to the og firmware.
Kind regards, benz.
a500w stock recovery/firmware
I cant find any info or help on this subject anywhere on the net. . My a5 sm-a500w is stuck in odin mode. I would usually just use keis or odin. But, there is no firmware, custom roms, or even info on what other firmware might work to unbrick this stupid Canadian phone.
The phone is screwed with out some sort compatable rom..
PLEASE HELP!!!!! ITS NOT LIKE ITS A SUPER NEW PHONE ANYMORE.
THANK YOU. PLEASE MESSAGE ME IF U HAVE ANY IDEAS OR BREAKS

I have read about an alternative method.
1. Download the stock 4.4.4 Samsung firmware from sammobile.
2. Boot into recovery mode and wipe date, cache / factory reset.
3. Boot into download mode, and connect phone to pc.
4. Make sure auto reboot, f. Reset time and phone bootloader mode is ticked.
5. Press start, and pray the phone boots.
6. Repeat the above steps.
I can't gaurentee that this method works.
Hello again, i found sm-a300m on sammobile but i cant post links here. It seems thats my device.
In case of doing some damage can i go back to lollipop with some backups?
Thx for response!
EDIT: the same firmware (lollipop) is on tsar3000, can i trust this site?
Don't downgrade. Nearly everyone that has tried downgrading the a3 had hard bricked their device.
Thats really too bad... well, i hope a update for lollipop for fix this issues.
Thx a lot, and i decided not downgrade.
You can close now this thread.
please help me root my phone.
i have samsung galaxy s4 gt-19506
v. 5.0.1
baseband version: I9506XXUDOL1
Build number : LRX22C.I9506XXUDOL1
sorry if this was asked before, but i cant seem to find any rooting method specifically for this phone.
Thank you so much in advance!
use cf autoroot from chainfire site, it has version for i9506
I've seen those. but would it work on my phone?
because the one in the website has a different build ID. (LRX22C.I9506XXUDOA6)
mine is "LRX22C.I9506UDOL1"
Yes, will work without any issue
I'll give it a try.. thank you
hopefully it wont get bricked.
try using kingroot or kingoroot apps.
it worked for my GT9505.

Worst case is you try to flash it and it fails. Not a huge deal.

Or you could flash a custom recovery like TWRP and then root from there by flashing the superusersu.zip
Hi,
My gf's phone stopped loading yesterday (stuck at the SAMSUNG logo), so I've tried to factory-reset it via recovery menu. Unfortunately, this didn't help, so I've decided that I need to re-flash the system. After some search I found https://www.kingoapp.com/root-tutorials/how-to-flash-samsung-stock-rom-via-odin.htm and tried to follow it. After checking the sticker behind the battery, I've learned that the model is SM-G900F. Unfortunately I wasn't sure what ROM was installed on the phone before and couldn't find any Ukrainian ROM, which is where the phone was bought originally. In the end, I decided to try installing latest ROM for Germany O2, since this is the operator that my gf uses now.
Unfortunately, Odin refused installing that image with an error "FAIL! (Auth)". After some further searching, I've noticed that when the phone is in download mode, it shows model name SM-G900V. I have no idea why and the ROM that was there before was clearly non-Verizon. Still, having no other option, I've downloaded Verizon ROM and it installed successfully. Luckily the phone has booted, but as expected, it wouldn't connect to any other network than Verizon, which is kinda useless to me given that we live in Germany and use O2. Now I wonder if it's possible to somehow root the phone, install custom recovery and flash that German O2 ROM?
The device is running Android 6.0.1 and kernel 3.4.0. How do I root it? How do I install custom recovery? Which one would you recommend?
Thanks,
Sergiy
In order to root it and install custom recovery you need to follow this guide

After rooting and custom recovery installation you need to decide what ROM you want on this phone ,you can install any ROM that supports sm g900f or g900v or klte (that's your device nickname)
I am on aex and it works good for me so you can try it https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s5/unified-development/rom-aospextended-rom-v5-4-t3779910
---------- Post added at 10:47 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:37 PM ----------
Follow the installation instructions from the Aex link and you should be good to go
If you need google apps and play store install gapps zip the link for that is also in the aex post hope it all works out for you ,if you need any help just ask

Seems, you can read russian.
You may like to follow this my guide to flash SM-G900V with an international 6.0.1 ROM.
I think, you can even use VIA (O2) CSC.
P.S. Please, pay attention to:
1. The first boot after factory reset may take 12-15 min (but not more than 20), so be patient. This was the problem, I guess.
2. Read the QA section in my guide to find the answers to your questions about root and custom recovery. And feel free to ask questions (here or there).

Thanks a lot. Indeed, I have probably not waited long enough for the first boot. The instructions you linked, worked! My gf is happy to have her phone back.

You're welcome.
Радий був допомогти.
And note for the next time: it's a good idea to try clearing cache and safe boot before performing a factory reset
