Hi, my question is simple: is it possible to hack the upgrade of Samsung Tablet SM-T113? Mine is stuck to Android version 4.4.4
I have asked a couple of repair shops and none of them are able to.
If I know one thing in CS, is if someone says that it's impossible, it's just that they don't know how.
I also tried to run iOS simulators and they're useless.
Thank you

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
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!!

Hi, I need xda's solid information to upgrade my rooted S4 sgh-i337 to 5.0 from 4.4.2. I'm a Mac user, so I haven't been able to find anything useful so far. It was an unlocked AT&T phone, now being used with T-Mobile. I have already downloaded the 5.0 update.zip from AndroidFileHost onto my Mac. OK, here's a stupid question: Why couldn't I simply do a factory reset (in which case would I lose the root?) and then update from Recovery Mode ["apply update from external source"], and re-root later? Thanks for reading, and for whatever help you can give. Oh, I'm still learning, so please don't assume I know anything.
I have other issues I just discovered from Samsung: Because the phone has been unlocked [I bought it this way], I have not been receiving any updates and I have already missed 6 updates. My signal has become weaker, sometimes calls get dropped, and the phone seems to get hotter so I have to charge it more frequently. The savvy tech at Samsung said I could overcome having to re-lock the phone so AT&T [see T-Mobile above] can send me the updates by going to Best Buy and let the Samsung Rep do it all for me, including updating to 5.0.1. The problem is the phone is rooted. Will Samsung not help me if they know the phone is rooted ? (--another naive question, I guess.)
I don't know about flashing anything from Mac or Linux. We used to use Heimdall (command line version) on the S2, but I don't know if that is viable for the S4.
If you take it to BestBuy and tell the tech you are rooted, I bet he will still help you. What is the worst he can do, say no. But if he flashes 5.0.1 for you, you will lose root, as stock 5.0.1 will not be rooted.
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?
