4.2.2 N5210 for i467M Only,,, Flashable via Odin

:::: Im not responsible if you brick Your Phone ::::
Flashable via Odin
Why would I you need this:
1-You want the 4.2.2 FW 'Alors Voila'
2-You bootlooped or other reason and you don't have a Nandroid / Backup. and No yet official Firmware for Canadian Carrier and you surely don't want to send it to Samsung So you can do this one.
3-Cause I Want it
what its not working:
the Phone ( trying to fix it )
Force Close:
S Note flash the csc so snote won't forceclose . Download
If with the download its still not working so add it manually and put the permission
For files permissions is
XXX
X
X
For folders
XXX
X. X
X X
And reboot
Download:
4.2.2 i467M Only ( Canadian 4G Lte Note 8.0 )
Beside you wont see the developer submenu so u cant click on debug. but they're still on the phone, so nobody freak out. Google hasn't taken the "developer" out of its Nexus line, and it's not going to anytime soon. But the settings have been hidden from casual view in the settings menu. Here's how to get them back:
1. Go to the settings menu, and scroll down to "About phone." Tap it.
2. Scroll down to the bottom again, where you see "Build number." (Your build number may vary from ours here.)
3. Tap it seven (7) times. After the third tap, you'll see a playful dialog that says you're four taps away from being a developer. (If only it were that simple, eh?) Keep on tapping, and *poof*, you've got the developer settings back.

If u want the s translator download the zip file http://db.tt/ADug1EoL extract it copy s translator to app and set the permission. And now for the libnmsp_vocoder.so add it in system/lib ( and set the permission) reboot the tablet.
if you have the AT&T ( i467 ) Nah do not touch
Do you want the resizable note 2 popup browse? So download this as any app http://db.tt/yGNx9PnV
Enjoy it
Hi, thanks for doing this.
I've been wanting 4.2.2 for my sgh-i467m (Rogers) for a long time.
But I do really need the S-Note function. So I'll wait until you add S-Note
I have a question though. I'm currently paying text messaging add-on $15/mo. Do you think I will lose this function?
And also, phone feature would be so siiick.
I'll wait patiently

as for the add ons you tablet will work exactly same as now. so you don't have to worry. I have 5gb/17.5$ I also want to use it so I wouldn't update it in this way if I know it will affect us
the Phone Feature yeah its good. but I decided to keep it on a side for now and witting to see first further aboout the snote.

You're awesome. Keep me posted
You probably have to extract the CSC stuff in order for the SNote to work. I had that force close issue with my first release of stock 4.2.2 rom.

Thanks for uploading the S-Note fix. I have downloaded both files and ready to flash but I don't want to screw up.
I'm a little new to this... never flashed a rom with Odin before. I used Odin for rooting but never flashing roms.
Could you post a step by step on how to flash?

1 open ur Odin /it will be a good first start /
2 click on Pda and select the .tar file that I uploaded
3 click on start and wait
So if U say U did rooted your phone with Odin its the same step U have to put the phone on download mode (power on the phone while you hole the -Volume)

Try to flash later via cwm. If it didn't work follow the steps with permission...
Thanks, I finally got around flashing. Everything works great and better. Before things like app launching time or keyboard was extremely laggy. But now its gone. Also sometimes touch screen not responding for a second or two is also gone. I cant thank you enough.
I wasnt really going to use the phone feature but that phone app sitting in the app drawer is really tempting to use. Do you have any progress on that yet?
Also, do you think you can port some note3 stuff like aircommand?
Thanks!

The AT&T version has a locked bootloader, so we can't load a custom recovery to make a back up. We do have root, which is great to have.
Can you point me in the right direction to make a back up?
Should those with a locked bootloader not flash this file?
I really appreciate your work on this.

Ok 1 download the cf auto root . Fla**** via odin and reflash the recovery twp.once its done to under recovery mode and create a back up better to do it on the ext sd card.
And once its done go back to download mod and flash the rom via odin. We the i467M also we dont have an unlocked bootloader. But flashing via odin if possible.
Now when its done ur tablet may and may not boot. If its not booting go to recovery mod and clean cache and dalvik. Et voilà!!!!

[Q]Hydro Icon & Root

Has anyone made any kind of progress with the Kyocera Hydro Icon?
A few things id like to note.
1.I have rooted my icon via Bin4rys root with restore v35.
After rooting,my root apps seem to function to their fullest potential.
2.i was able to get into stock recovery via terminal,im unsure of the button combo if there is one.
"su reboot recovery" gives me that android recovery 3e.also there is am option,"apply update from sdcard".maybe thats a way custom recovery can be loaded?
Im not a pro at all this,i just know some basic info about bash.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
EDIT:i was able to dump stock recovery,but i have no idea how to build on windows.
heres a link to my dropbox with the "recovery.img" file & also the recovery.fstab file as well.
if someone can build thisinto TWRP/CWM that'd be amazing,

after reading thru the script, and several other tools that use this exploit, i have noticed that my phone doesn't have /system/app/Backup-restore.apk (best i can tell thats a xperia app) or /system/bin/ric. it seems the exploit works via some bug in these two files. could you look and see if your phone has these files? and if so, what version of the system software are you running?
System software version is 1.003BT,& i have a backuprestore apk & odex file in my /system/app directory.
The /system/bin/ric file is not present also.

Hi i read your help request in twrp thread and i can try to help you.is there any source about your device?
you will need to provide more than these 2 files for twrp to be compiled...
kernel would be needed but also device information...and some others file(s) like init.rc
can you provide kernel, stock boot.img(or working custom boot.img) ...might be needed some part of official recovery .
What is device resolution?
you can pm me if you want, i can try to compile Twrp for you...
i don't own the device so you will be on your own to push recovery in device and test it.
I can get you the stock boot img,im not sure about the kernel id have to be near a pc to split it to get the kernel.as far as i know there is no source.
EDIT:I found a guide to dump & split the boot image on my phonr,and succeeded.i will upload the boot.img,kernel & anything else you need t my dropbox folder ive shared.

Thanks a ton. I had tried every option in many different ways numerous times. After placing the correct file in the correct directory my phone was rooted. Did not give me verification...only errors. I had to download root browser and attempt to change system files as well as use titanium backup for verification. Although root checker would have worked as well. Lost root numerous times trying different things aka rom toolkit and safestrap just trying out a few things but was able to recover root very easily again. In it.d support working for me as well as a few scripts. Thanks for the help. Let me know if I can help.

Rooting the Sprint Edge while keeping SHealth/Xposed/Private Mode

UPDATE 05/28/15 This works fine without doing the xposed part on Lollipop. No speed issues. It may be totally unnecessary now but I am not going to retry it to see. It may once again become necessary to follow these instructions when we get xposed for lollipop.
There are a number of threads about these two topics, I am going to consolidate my findings here.
First off root works great on the Sprint variant, secondly so does Xposed with S-Health and private mode. You just have to be careful how you set them up. There have been a lot of posts about freezing S-health and Private mode then clearing data but from my experience that is hit or miss. There are four basic steps to getting everything working and it should be done from a factory reinstall of software. The files you will need are in the following threads/links
Chainfire Autoroot - http://autoroot.chainfire.eu/
Chainfire File Link - http://download.chainfire.eu/617/CF-Root/CF-Auto-Root/CF-Auto-Root-tbltespr-tbltespr-smn915p.zip
Xposed - http://forum.xda-developers.com/xposed/xposed-installer-versions-changelog-t2714053
Xsecure - http://forum.xda-developers.com/xposed/modules/app-xshealth-bypass-secure-storage-t2878708
Teamwin Recovery - http://www.techerrata.com/browse/twrp2/trltespr
Root using Chainfire autoroot for Sprint it will fail just pull the battery and boot to download to install the teamwin recovery (buttons HOME, VOLUME DOWN, AND POWER) boot to recovery then install supersu. Before leaving recovery set the screen timeout off and lower the brightness to 10.
Skip past Google and Samsung setup. You can fill out the first and last name screen (only opportunity to name phone, first boot).
Download and install Xposed (not Wanam) download and install XSecure Health module install Xposed framework reboot
Activate Xsecure Health module reboot
Clear Data for Health Service and S-Health reboot
Run Private mode and set up, run S-Health and setup.
Setup your Google and Samsung accounts
If you do these steps exactly without doing anything else I can promise you will have a rooted Sprint version with Xposed, Shealth, and private mode working. When I say exactly I am serious there are a lot of things that can/will mess you up like
Signing into google or samsung on reboot after installing factory software
Starting private mode before setting up xposed
Shortcutting by doing a factory reset instead of a factory software reinstall
Restoring your data Nandroid backup (Use Titanium etc for a program by program reinstall of apps)
BTW the problem here is a little bit deeper than uninstall xposed everything works. There is a something that is changed in the software with either xposed or wanam that can permanently kill private mode until you do a factory install. At the moment I am doing Nandroids before any change I make in Xposed.
worked like a charm. Thank you very much.

Sorry it is because the SU has to be installed outside of the system. There may be a way to then use TWRP or CWM to reinstall the stock recovery but I have not researched that.
Thanks blackinjun for this, I just got a Sprint variant of the Note Edge. I believe that I'm on NK1, it's been a while since I rooted a device, last one was about 2 years ago on my Galaxy S4. Will try it this weekend.

Download the zip file not the IMG.tar
Is it possible to do this. If my phone is already rooted?
I randomly found a YouTube video they walked me through rooting my phone before I knew shealth would have not work. This was a couple months ago I guess. So I'd like to get it back. Though doing factory reset isn't something that I'd prefer to do. But if it comes to it.
I'd assume just follow the rest of the steps in your tutorial?

this trick will work if your already rooted. Clear your D. Cache and cache and start from the download/install xposed portion of the instructions. This is what I ended up doing and haven't had any issues at all.
For those who have moved to lollipop has anyone tried this method

[GUIDE] Root Samsung Galaxy J1 Verizon SM-J100VPP

I got this device used and it had been updated to the newest firmware. It would not work with Kingroot, Framaroot, SRS, or Kingo. The only option was to attempt to downgrade to an older firmware with unpatched exploits. The Verizon J1 has a locked bootloader so it cannot flash full firmware packages with older bootloaders. Luckily it can be downgraded to older firmware of the same android version with older kernel. I just had to unpack the firmware and remove the bootloader and repack. I tried to make a rooted stock firmware but can't seem to repack the system.img.ext4 properly after mounting it.
Now let's get down to business
1. Download Odin 3.09
2. Download modified (by me) rootable firmware. Do not rename file it might mess up md5sum.
3. Boot phone to download mode. Hold power+vol down+ home.
4. Start Odin and connect phone with original factory sync cable.
5. Click on the AP button and select the firmware downloaded above. It will check the md5sum automatically when it finishes and passes then press the start button. Once the flash finishes it will reboot.
6. Enable usb debugging.
7. Download Kingoroot for PC (google) and let it run. The apk will not work to root. It should install drivers automatically.
8. Profit!!
I'm testing a method to reliably switch to Supersu but having trouble updating binary 100% of the time. I've tried to flash exposed but Flashfire doesn't seem to work properly with this device. If anyone can suggest a workaround please share.
OP, is it okay if I don't have original factory sync cable in hands?

Yeah its ok you just run into less issues with original cable.

7. Download Kingoroot for PC (google) and let it run. The apk will not work to root. It should install drivers automatically.
8. Profit!!
I'm testing a method to reliably switch to Supersu but having trouble updating binary 100% of the time. I've tried to flash exposed but Flashfire doesn't seem to work properly with this device. If anyone can suggest a workaround please share.

If u want to switch to SuperSu from KingoROOT, the best and easiest method would be backing up ur phone and performing a soft reset. Afterwards simply install SuperSu, the superuser binary is already installed from kingroot - no worries, just update it normally via SuperSU and disable KNOX after the update is complete.
That switch idea of yours might get you bricked
Confirmed it works now we need a recovery so we can just flash su
SuperSUme works really really well lol, this phone is 32bit only any1 wanna try 4 a recovery​?
Thxx bro
I've tried porting a few times from the j100h twrp and keep getting a return to Verizon dealer screen. So I'd assume the bootloader is still locked. Im going to try the old safestrap and see if i can't get that working. But im kinda a noob so I'll do my best.
p.s. Don't try flashing any recovery until you backup your current one with rashr or flashify.BE SAFE.btw I've yet to see supersume actually work but hey it could happen. I'd much rather just flash the su from a recovery.

Agreed about flashing the recovery, but you need to be rooted with KingOroot to get SuperSUme to work, & it helps to just keep the screen timeout turned off thru this process , after it says "complete" I downloaded SuperSU & installed, updated, "disabled" knox, & I can also use flashfire although its pretty worthless for anything other than backups, as the little AROMA shell emulator thingy does run after the verizon logo is showing, which indicates to me yea its locked down pretty solid lol.
I tried Safestrap & it gave me a /SS folder in my /etc so I looked into that but I can't manage to figure out how I should go placing the files to make it work lol. But i do know this thing is 32bit ONLY, so compiling the j100H twrp for instance will NOT flash no matter what we do to the bootloader, it will bootloop since the architecture is for a 64bit SoC, we need someone to compile the j100H twrp in a 32bit only compatible architecture, & then you can easily flash it like cake, & TWRP should do the rest like all other Samsung phones O.O
its gotten to the point these are all the apps I have when i restore haha, if you wanna PM me about working together to get this thing a little more flexible I'm always open to ideas . I only use this thing as a hotspot but would totally like to see a recovery at least make it over & from there I could definitely start the ROM bringup
Will I get bricked by doing this with Verizon

Haha believe it or not that's a pretty reasonable question! xD, you shouldn't, i cannot see why, if you have problems just restore i will help ya through it again, & if you want xposed ONLY use the material installer from xda

If you havent used SUPERSUme to transfer it over to SuperSU, google the app, can't find the free one on play store anymore i guess.

Cannot Root my Samsung Note 3 N9005 LTE

Hello All,
I have a galaxy note 3 N9005 LTE with 4g option unavailable unless I modify a data file and change its value from 0 to 1 (I don't remember the exact file name right now!), however, I can't change that file value unless I have my device rooted.
I have rooted my device before and had my 4G option enabled successfully before I perform a factory reset.
Currently, I am trying to root it again using Chainfire cf auto root file and Odin.
Although the Odin gives a successful process, the phone doesn't get rooted after bootup.
Model Number:
SM-N9005
Android Version:
4.4.2
Baseband version:
N9005XXUGNG1
*I have tried all auto root application available like kingo root and others and they do not work.
*If you know a method to unlock the 4G option in this device, it might be enough for me and no need for rooting.
(I have no clue why should they disable the 4g option in the first place !! )
Thank you for helping!
I've rooted that thing before using kingoroot and then flashed twrp and then flashed supersu zip and then flashed cyanogenmod 13. So I guess you do the same Btw, I did all that without a computer, by flashing twrp using the flashfire thing from gstore.

Thank you for your reply!
But as mentioned up there, kingoroot failed to root my device. Therefore, I am looking for other alternatives.

Can you re-download this (http://download.chainfire.eu/352/CF-Root/CF-Auto-Root/CF-Auto-Root-hlte-hltexx-smn9005.zip)? It is possible that you have downloaded and flashed the one for the 4.2 bootloader, which obviously won't work.
Good luck

It is that exact one I have used, although I know it is for Android 5.0. I have no idea why it doesn't work with my cell phone.
Also, I have used Odin v3.10.6 and v3.07.

It's for android KitKat. Hmm, interesting, I'd backup stock ROM and reflash the 4.4.2 and then try the cf auto root. So I suggest you do the same
