I appreciate the admonishment about "taking the time" and I actually considered that I had. Unfortunately, my limited reading here and elsewhere resulted in the same conclusion that you reached, minus the aspirational portion! I guess I was hoping that, indeed, my reviews were truly...

People, I just returned to the Samsung "fold" after a hiatus of several years. It's a Note 10+ 5G, with T-Mobile. While the improvement from my previous LG (AT&T) phone and experience is absolute (T-Mobile has turned out to be a wonderful surprise), what I was really hoping for was, among...

Phone is useless.

That's why I always ordered through on line distributors who tend to sell ww versions of phones. I suppose I was lucky in that I could always just insert my sim and all the essentials worked. Once I had to make a minor change in the APN settings and my local AT&T rep gave them to me! I will...

Well, I can only answer by saying that, since the days of Windows Mobile 1.03, I have owned many phones (my friends would say I have a problem)! Even with jailbreak, I realized early on that iOS was never going to be able to assist in my work, etc, so I have never owned an iPhone. Moreover, I...

The phone is really quite nice. However, contrary to what I normally do, I bought phone through AT&T. They have done certain things which (so far) prevent one from getting into bootloader through any method that I can use. Indeed, their "recovery" is merely a single "nuclear option". Either...

I appreciate it. I sort of wanted to make sure that there wasn't something obvious I was missing. For a phone of this level, I was not expecting that it would be so defective.. I have never seen a phone with no real recovery.. This is a first! I wish I could wait for it to be fixed but when I...

Was worth a shot! No. 1 I had actually tried before. No. 2, like 1, just boots back into the system.

Ok. I used ADB in many ways.. I didn't try exactly what you just said.. Going to now.

I cannot..i cannot get to a place where Fastboot can be used. Only a recovery with no commands. Please tell me how you did it. Thanks!

Without being able to get into bootloader, how do you add TWRP?

LG V40 Recovery/Bootloader Has anyone else had the following experience with the LG V40: I obtained mine about a three weeks ago. It does have the latest Android already loaded. It's from AT&T. While i am no expert, I always root and am usually pretty successful at it and rooting does...

Without the right Twrp, many benefits to rooting are missing such as removing stock rom applications. Seems without being able to boot to a recovery, even Titanium cannot remove apps because it needs to clean the dalvic.. Can't do it without a recovery Sent from my ASUS_Z016D using...

You are right about homesync. It is a remarkably useless item. Neither a real server, nor does it even have the ability to run one's basic tablet apps, such as hbo-go, etc, which would make it useful as a permanent media center with all one's movie subscriptions, etc! However, yesterday...

Just finished getting everything ready, obtaining the official firmware, etc., psyching myself up to finally get root on this new device.. and I can't seem to download the necessary URDLV files. Are they not available any longer?

Well, i got everything ready to go.. and went to download the scripts, etc.. and it was shut down! i was very psyched... back to the drawing board..

Thanks.. this is exactly what I needed... access to the script and a step by step explanation of the process.. been using computers since DOS but i really don't know any other operating systems and certainly not well enough to walk through this without guidance! All i have to do is get at tar...

i did. and that does work. but, it also works with the data SIM now.. Now, all i need is to figure out how to root it! URDLV is shut down and so i have to wait until someone comes up with an easier way!

the tablet WILL work on AT&T... and they do use the 2100 band for 4G. However, the device is SO new that AT&T's system could not recognize it and it took a very dedicated ATT tech (hats off to him!) and me about 1.5 hrs to get it to work on my existing data plan, changing various settings, etc...

Not with my existing AT&T tab 2 10.1 SIM. However, it did work at 3G+ with my Note 2 SIM card. so, will be going to AT&T later today. AT&T uses 700 and 2100 bands for 4G and several others for 3G+. The SM-P605 does not use 700 but can use 2100. Going to AT&T later and see what they can do...

No, i think you're right on. while I can't download the tools to create the .tar file, apparently, i am told, they don't work quite as well to root the sm-p605 which is the LTE version. I guess i was hoping that rooting the sm-p605 would be as easy as it was for the other two android tablets i...

Well, in order to get it here in the US (the 605 LTE), I had to order it through a company that brings these in from overseas. I've done this before because here in the US, we seem to get the best stuff, last, or not at all! I think mine is from Asia/Australia.. or possibly Thailand. I don't...

OK.. Thanks. That answers the "concept" question. One must create one's own .tar.md5 file using one's existing stock rom. I just got an SM-P605 here in the US (and also just realized it does work with AT&T albeit at a slower speed!) and am going to try to root it using this method. I am very...

I am also somewhat inexperienced.. in the referenced thread, are the necessary Odin and TAR files provided to perform the root or do we have to create them using CMD, etc? I am confused by the idea of "creating" one's own Odin file. thanks

Where is the file stored? thanks
