Yes the forum would be great!
Gained root.
Thought I would let others know that Bin4ry script from Sony Experia thread works for a hassle free root on Telstra Urbane Zte T22.
Now just need find a recovery.
I agree!
I got his phone a while and successfully rooted it and flashed recovery CWM.
The stock is so laggy and slow. Would love a replacement.
Install CWM for the phone (which I have) by personal messaging me and I will send you the URL, silly XDA rules. -.-
also there is heaps of custom roms there that work for the t22. Trial and error, I have cm10 and a few others already on my phone. )
Sounds great. Are you able to let us know which phones roms work with T22?
Sent from my brick.
I have tried a few for the Blade 3, there is quite a variety, some work some don't, but since they are nearly the exact same phone, the t22 will work with nearly any rom for the blade 3.

Found a way to unlock it for free. Tryed to follow these instructions using google translator 4pda.ru/forum/index.php?showtopic=376369 its kind of a downgrade back to 2.2.3 and it worked, now I just have to get back to ics
Name of a custom rom?
Any have a rom that WILL work with the t22?
Thanks for your time, much appriciated!
Plenty of Roms on Modaco, I think it is, just search up Blade3 Cyanogenmod and it should come up with one by Konstang.

Stock Rom?
Hi there,
2 things: yes, you can install many Blade3 ROMs in the T22, and the most popular that is confirmed to work is an unofficial port of CyanogenMod (you can install 10.2, but it still needs official development from Qualcomm before FM Radio and Bluetooth work, so I suggest 10.1), compiled by developer KonstaT.
As I have the New Zealand version of this device, I can confirm it works well, and will certainly do so here. However:
I advise against doing it if you don't know how to backup and restore a nandroid, purely because there are NO STOCK ROMS available from either ZTE or Telstra websites, and without that backup, you'll have no choice but to void any warranty you may have had if you neglected to do so! Even I find that idea annoying, and yet I don't have that problem!
Just a friendly warning from a cousin across the ditch.
Thanks I'll check it out.

I just purchased a SCH-i545l from Bluegrass Cellular here in Kentucky. Bluegrass is a regional company that works off of their own LTE towers as well as Verizon's Nationwide towers. I love this phone, however, I am lost with it when it comes to rooting it or any types of software modifications because of its small supply and demand. Can anyone help?

What the build number in settings->about phone? If it's the same or similar to Verizon I'm sure the same rooting method would work for you.

Same with me as well. I've asked around, seems like its not a very common phone (since being an off brand version) to be rooting at this moment.

I am hoping this is just too new at the moment. I wish I knew someone in service who could leak me the stock files. Then I could flash some vzw kernels and still be able to restore stock if it didn't work.

It's a very new variant of the phone, it was wi-fi verified at the end of July and it only popped up earlier this month...
Sadly it looks like the phone has a different base version (MG6) and hopefully something similar is released when 4.3 arrives in October.
Waiting game at this point....

You can download the source code for this phone from the samsung open source site. Would be a great place to start.
Click here to get to main page, then look for SCH-I545L NA
is it possible to extract the kernel from the open source zip file? if so can i be told how to or can someone download the SCH-I545L source and extract kernel then post it for us?
would appreciate very much if someone downloaded the source and compiled a kernel for myself and others looking for it. need the stock kernel to root our devices, i personally dont have a linux-based computer or the ability to have one, so any help would be appreciated

Kernel and Platform are already separated inside the file I posted the link too. It also includes read me files for each on how to compile them. I would download it and play around with it for a bit.
I have access to Linux. I am busy lately but I will download this a play with it when i get a chance. I have another idea and I'm wondering if there are any obvious flaws so here it is. Before compiling the system partition, add 'su' to '/bin'. Then to have root the only thing we need to do is Odin/ Heimdall the modified system partition. Although I have compiled software for Linux I have never compiled Android before so does anyone see a fatal flaw with that plan?
well i tried but couldnt figure it out. im not really dev-savvy. so if anyone wants to download the sch-i545L source to compile a kernel and possibly even inject root or make it easier to root (if possible?..) i would donate to the cause. im sure us with the 545L variants would appreciate a helping hand
I've downloaded the source from samsung and now I'm downloading the 4.2.2 base. Wish me luck lol. I've never built android before but it doesn't look too much different from any other source code so far.

Good Luck! There seem to be quite a few of us out there with this device that would really appreciate root/rom support!
If you get a rooted rom or a kernel for us please share! I'm sure if we had a kernel we could flash roms then kernel, or flash vzw s4 kernel for root methods and then flash back. Kernel would be the optimal provision

Kernel Crossing
I have compiled a kernel using the Samsung source and the running kernel configuration from my i545L. I have not tested it but I have no reason to believe that it is any different than the kernel running on my phone. I am not sure when I will get around to testing it but if anyone tries it please post back here.
I have not located a pit file yet.
Link to stock compiled kernel - Odin format:
http://d-h.st/tcl
I don't know how to disable root block so that the motochopper root method will work again but that is something I will be looking into.
And finally the necessary un-pleasantries... I am not responsible for anything you do to your phone and I don't provide any warranty with this kernel.
I will test it later

Hello, I have a Galaxy S4 developers edition stock with version 4.2.2. I have never rooted it or changed the ROM in any way. Yet for some reason I have yet to get a single update from Verizon or Samsung ... Everything I am reading says I should have 4.4 by now .. At least 4.3... Is there a reason why I am not getting update.
Thank you.

Developers Editions don't receive updates. I guess they assume that anyone with a Dev Edition will ROM it.
Hello silver7x,
I noticed your post saying that you have a Dev s4. As you may know there are people trying to unlock the bootloader for the retail version of the s4. Would you be willing to take 5-10 minutes to help them out by sending a copy of your aboot to: Surge1223 ?
We would all greatly appreciate your help. If you need help figuring out how to do so, check out his thread for unlocking the bootloader. Or send him a PM labeled "S4 Dev aboot"
Thank you!

There's no Stock KitKat ROM for the Verizon phone at the moment. You'll have to wait until VZ releases 4.4.2.

I'm not happy with this releases installed software and would like to root my Verizon Note II. It's on 4.4.2 ND7. Also will I be able to unlock my bootloader so I can install CWM or TWRP and install custom roms? Thank you.
Sent from my SCH-I605 using XDA Free mobile app
You dont... no root method available right now. Even if there were root. There's no unlock method for bootloader after 4.3. You are stuck with what verizon has given you for now, possibly forever.
Sent from my SCH-I605 using XDA Free mobile app
I see. That really sucks.
There's a rom out there that's a rooted 4.4.2 ND7. Would I be able to flash this with Odin to gain root without causing any issues to the bootloader?
Sent from my SCH-I605 using XDA Free mobile app
No. That's for people who never took the 4.3 update and got to unlock their bootloader. If your running mj9 or nd7 your stuck there.

Another Question
Anyone care to verify that this is legit and works to root the Verizon Note II 4.4.2? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GBP1Ql7wck4 . I see that there is the ability to download the root file for the VZW Note II on 4.4.2. I will do some more research. If anyone tries it please report your findings. Thanks.
My guess is no. Anything you find on rooting or flashing recovery is highly unlikely to work on the vzw note 2. Thanks for nothing, verizon.

I'm in the same situation, and I'd just like to rattle the bars of this jail cell VZW has put us Note II 4.4.2 OTA folks in. The SD card write lock is a ridiculous overreach in the name of "security."
I hear that. I don't know about anyone else's phone but after I updated to ND7 my phones been buggy. Fails on sending texts and general locking up. I've factory reset it twice and have 2.7gb available on the internal storage. Come on somebody!
Sent from my SCH-I605 using XDA Free mobile app
In the same boat here. Bought used, already updated. I didn't think there was an [upper class] Android device right now that couldn't be modified, so I didn't know to research first... I just came to the threads right before buying and saw the dev was booming so figured I was good.
Did VZ drop the ball here or are all carriers having this issues with the Note 2?
Root unavailable?
So basically I can't root the phone? I want to be able to use some apps that require root, is there a way to root without messing with the bootloader or not? Mobilodin maybe? I also have that 4.4.2 OTA nightmare. Thanks
There is no root.

There is root now... At least, it works for me. I modified [source code based on] towelroot, fixed a few things for our phone, and called it GhettoRoot. No one has tested it except me.
Feel free to try it, usual warnings apply... Check my thread in the General forum. I can't link anything or post in the development forums.

Its out now. Works like a charm. Just used it. I don't even have a carrier anymore. My note 2 is just an expensive skype phone, and I plan to redesign the looks of this rom.

Boo-tloader
Anyone devised a way to unlock this god forsaken bootloader? Verizon has overstepped their bounds imho. No 3rd party write access to sd? That's just ridiculous. Also, cyanogenmod would be great, but safestrap doesn't work now. Anyone have anything in the works? I would be willing to test anything available. I'm running I605VRUFND7 on the KOT49H kernel, and have plenty of experience with Odin, so no worries over bricking at the moment. Also, there is still a bounty out for anyone that can unlock it. Not so much a fortune, but imagine the fame? Thanks in advance.

The above link was some troubleshooting I went through to get root on my Galaxy Note 2 i605 w/ ND7 4.4.2. I was hoping to get TWRP or CWM on it but all attempts have failed. From what i'm gather it just not possible at this time.
Has anyone found away to unlock the bootloader so we can load recovery and put on custom ROMs???
please say yes!!!
I am currently running a G900A (AT&T branded galaxy S5 with locked bootloader) i am in the process of buying a used S5 but not sure if the bootloader is locked. Here is the phone info that the guy provided to me.
Sm-g900f , g900fxxu1anc9 , 4.4.2
Like i said I'm on AT&T S5 so i am not familiar with the F models and i know T Mobile is the T models but didn't know if anyone knows anything about these phones cause I'm wanting to flash some T Mobile roms. Any info would be much appreciated.
Is it rootable through towel root? Can i use TWRP or CWM with this device. It is carrier unlocked and he is using it on T mobile (gsm) so I'm guessing it will work on AT&T since they uses GSM as well. Thanks for any help.
That's the international version. So should be fine. I'm not sure about lte bands.. U will have to check that info out. The phone should work fine though.
The g900f is probably the most desired s5.. As its not carrier branded.
If I had to choose one I'd get either it or the g900t (T-Mobile)

Ok thanks. I got lucky and found it for $200. The only thing that worries me is that since it's not carrier branded can they report it stolen in any way after i buy it and have the IMEI blacklisted. Normally I'd just meet at the phones carrier store and have everything documented but not sure how to go about it without it being carrier locked.
I'm not sure about that. You can ask for the imei number and check it on swappa.com
If it comes back clean that may alleviate some of your worries

Well i finally found me a G900T. Gonna pick it up around 5 today. Can't wait to see what version is on it so i can get it rooted and find me a good rom to go along with it. Any recommendations?
Muniz stock rooted and debloat a bit if you want stock touchwiz. Or.. If you want more plain android, aosp, try cm12.1 currently in nightly stages but I think its stable enough for daily driver.
Some ppl like twisted Lolipop....

Ok i got the phone, so now onto rooting. Do i need to take it down to 442 to root it can i root straight from 5.0 thanks for the help getting me started
U can root from there.
Find a guide. Make sure you use proper files. (Measure twice cut once)
Do not update to of6 threw normal ota updates or flash the factory of6 firmware as it can't be downgraded I think. If you want to goto the latest which is of6 follow muniz guide
Take your time make no mistakes.
I would recommend installing a custom recovery. Twrp. After that you can easily move back and forth to whatever roms you want, trying different ones.

The sickness did a thread under general where he explains how to root 5.0. It's using chainfire's root method for 4.4.2. Which also works for 5.0. That's the method I used to root my 900T a few days ago. You flash it in odin.

Yea i found it thanks for the info though. I've got it rooted and twrp installed. Downloading lolliozop right now. I've been wanting to try that one. I'll get the sim unlock code tomorrow from T mobile and should be up and running then.
Well i ran lolliozop for a few days but couldn't figure out a lot of the color issues with the black on black and white on white etc. Great looking rom but i just couldn't figure it out. I'm back on TMS 3.0 now and love it. I'm running the KT kernel but still haven't figured out what to change or a good setting for it. Anyone else running this kernel and could give a little advice on how to set it would be greatly appreciated.
