Not sure what the code 7 is, but the ATT i527 has no recovery. No recovery....no flashy.
If you are looking for root and you are still on JB 4.2, www.kingoapp.com will root your phone.
If you are upgraded to 4.4 then we have lost rooting capabilities for now.
There are several threads on this subject, please feel free to read.

So how did you create this, Samsung hasn't released it, who onows they may never. Is it a Note 3 ROM like your 4.2.2 one modified to work on our Canadian Note 8?
What about root? What about 4.2.2 bootloader? Does it have the external SD locked for writing from apps like the real Kitkat?
Give us some info? If this is real, its amazing and we all owe you?

I didn't think the 5120 rom would work in our tablet. The 4.2.2 didn't, you had to create a special ROM.

I think AT&T is the i467. The Canadian carriers were the i467M. I don't know the difference but I wouldn't download this yet. Don't want to brick until I understand what this is.
I know that there is no release from Samsung for our ROMS, also that the 4.2.2 ROM from the 5120's LTE Note didn't work on ours, so be VERY careful. I'm waiting for some info from the developer as to what this is.
This same developer did a version of 4.2.2 for our i467M's. I'm using it, and it's great. The thread is here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2446155
But I think that was ported from a Tab 3 as he called the thread 4.2.2 N5210 for i467M. The N5210 is not a Note. it is a Tab 3 10.1 inch tablet.

I tried the other ROM the developer did for the Canadian variants on my AT&T and couldn't get around the AT&T locked bootloader.
Just noticed in the OP that wifi is not working. So really not ready yet. Any update Yorgo, perhaps more info in the OP would be good.
Thanks
@Yorgo1982 Glad you're breathing a little life back into this tablet. Samsung seems they have deserted us again. Any hope on getting wifi up and running?
I will do my best as im not a user of this tablet anymore.

Is the kernel 5120 as well? If it is then maybe be able to attain wifi using the spherecat kernel. If it isn't than perhaps looking at the present i467m kernel may lead to some headway.
I will do my best to try later on my mum's tablet

Nice work. I'm ready to install it. Is there anything NOT working?
Do I have to root it after I install, and do I have to put on a custom recovery again, or will that remain?

Is it necessary to wipe data before doing an Odin install, or does Odin overwrite everything?
Also saferoot or chainfire? Don't want to mess this up.

You might want to make sure you're running the latest version of CWR if you're trying to flash a kitkat based room.

In case you haven't already, here's a link to mooneyb's OP with CWM touch that will let you flash KK roms -----> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2571424
It's already a .tar so you can just flash it via Odin
Hope it helps

When I got this update I thought it was 6.0 cuz the file was so big. But it said 5.0 after the download. So I thought maybe t mobile was pushing me the 5.0 first so I can get the 6.0. I never went to do an update cuz I didn't want 5.0. But when the update came automatically I thought this is what was going on. So I guess the wait continues. Thanks for the reply though.

It can be deleted, maybe someone can chime in for the answer to that, I never have took an update ever. I build the rom myself, no need for updates for me...sorry....lol

You need to use the metropcs odin firmware, which you can get here: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24545070682210936
Then root following these directions: http://forum.xda-developers.com/tmo...l/root-how-to-root-sm-g900t-firmware-t3358190
Yes it will work on marshmallow and on the 900t1
I got it rooted and twrp installed.. So after I flash that firm where do you have a link for the marshllow rom that will work on the 900t1 or will the 900t rom work if I flash if?... Thanks you very much for the help ..

CM 13 For S5 Thread
Use the link for klte (as opposed to kltedv, kltespr, klteusc, etc.). I would recommend opengapps or slim gapps
Stock based ROMs that should (no guarantees but definitely should) work for your phone can be found here:

Dude there is no difference.... just pretend its a 900t and follow the same directions. Mine is also from Metro and I have the 900t Marshmallow running on it and its awesome. On Lollipop my Wifi worked but the Wifi Calling kept cutting out and in a basement apt I was barely ever getting a call. Now with Marshmallow it's running at 100%... everything actually works like it should and its a joy to hear the phone ring all the time.
