Tab2 upgraded, major encryption gotcha, Titanium Backup to the rescue, and all's well

To my surprise, connecting the Galaxy Tab 2 via cable to a PC and using Samsung's much improved Kies did permit the upgrade.
And then locked me out of the tablet entirely, demanding a decryption password at bootup ... although the tablet wasn't encrypted. Oops. A left-over, to be sure, from the botched encryption job I did when I first rooted the tablet. Heh heh. Titanium Backup Pro to the rescue!
Now all upgraded, programs and data restored, encryption working quite correctly at last, and Swype not being quite so much of a performance hog as before!

I have a Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 (7.0" 3G model) which came with Android 4.0.4 and which I happily and easily CF-Auto-Root'ed right after I got it in January this year.
Yesterday, the Tab downloaded an OTA upgrade to Android 4.1.2, but when I try to apply that upgrade it fails instantly.
I'm guessing that it is the CF-Auto-Root which is causing the upgrade to fail.

What is the process for upgrading a CF-Auto-Root'ed Galaxy Tab 2 7.0" from 4.0.x to 4.1.x?

thanks!

hi.. want to request autoroot for I9308 is I9300 compatible?

darkrance · May 21, 2013

Did someone request for CF-AutoRoot on SHV-E300s (Korean S4 Variant) already? If not... well, requesting then. Nothing wrong with asking. ^_^

cezeff · May 24, 2013

the sc-06d and sc-0ea which are the SGS3 variants on Japan's NTT Docomo are already supported....is it possible to have the newly released SC-04E, the SGS4, supported as well?...the Auto-Root for the i9505 gives a partial root with the SU binary failing to update after being pushed and installed on to the device.....any thoughts?

CF-Auto-Root is the root for "rooting beginners" and those who want to keep as close to stock as possible. CF-Root is meant to be used in combination with stock Samsung firmwares, and be the quickest and easiest way for your first root. In essence, it does nothing but install and enable SuperSU on your system, so apps can gain root access.

This thread serves as a central discussion and request thread for CF-Auto-Root. If you have questions about a specific CF-Auto-Root binary for a specific device, please go the relevant thread listed on the CF-Auto-Root homepage.

Donate
CF-Root and CF-Auto-Root have been available for many devices (over 50 different models !) and have clocked over 9 million downloads. This is not even counting custom ROMs that include CF-Root (non-Auto) kernels. Don't be a leech, buy me a beer (and use the "Thanks" button!). Imagine if every user had donated me $1...

What's installed
- SuperSU binary and APK
- Stock recovery (note that any other recovery you may have installed will be overwritten !)

What's the difference between CF-Auto-Root and CF-Root, and/or other root solutions ?
CF-Root (non-Auto) are manually built rooted kernels and/or flashables that usually provide more than "just root". CF-Auto-Root is built on an automated system that I am constantly improving that takes a stock recovery image and returns an automated rooting packages. These packages are designed to install and enable SuperSU on your device, so apps can gain root access, and nothing more.

The difference with many other rooting solutions is that those will often install a custom recovery for you (I am personally moving away from custom kernels and recoveries, for various reasons), while with CF-Auto-Root you will end up with a stock recovery again.

Not included - custom recovery
A custom recovery like CWM or TWRP is not included.

Not included - Triangle Away
Triangle Away can be used to reset the flash counter after installing CF-Root. The flash counter keeps track of how many custom firmwares you have flashed, as this voids warranty. (No idea what this about ? Read up on it, you will want to use this !)

Not included - adbd Insecure
As this CF-Root does not include a custom kernel, adb shell does not have root access by default (you can still get it by typing su inside the shell), nor is adb remount supported, nor will adb push and adb pull work on system files. adbd Insecure can be used to remedy this situation. (No idea what this is about ? Don't worry about it !)

This tool worked great. It was fast, easy and accurate.

Just for the record (since I couldn't seem to find it elsewhere), CF-Auto-Root worked for a

- GS3
- US Cellular
- Android 4.1.2 (stock)
- build AMB1

Thank you.

You're like a wizard dude. This is amazing. Had my new S4 rooted in seconds. I've donated to you before, and now I will again.

What do you need me to pull off the AT&T variant of the Note 8.0 LTE (SGH-I467) to add support for root and how would I go about doing so without Root access... I am all ears at this point...

Tablet appears to be the same as the GT-N5120 other than the LTE/GSM Bands

Model: SGH-I467
Build: JZO54K
Baseband: I461UCAMF1
Android: 4.1.2

I think the bootloader may be locked like the Galaxy S 4 and might need to be patched...

unroot upgrade then root

~~So I have a rooted samsung. If I unroot my device and then upgrade the firmware, would I be able to root it again using cf root?~~

Looking in the other forums, I now know the answer to this. For others that were wondering, the simple answer is "no." However, if you use SuperSU Pro, there is a possibility that you will maintain root.

SHW-M500W

SHW-M500W is the Korean version of Galaxy Note 8.0 wifi. I have attached the boot.img and recovery.img. Can you root it? Much appreciated.

Can't upload it so I've attached a link.

Galaxy Mega i9205

Hi Chainfire any chance to take a look at the Galaxy Mega 6.3 i9205 current root has the new sammy issue

undergrad · Jul 7, 2013

I have been having issues getting this method to work on my S3 for about a week now. The COM port icon stays BLUE and doesn't turn YELLOW, it does however recognize that my phone is connected by saying 'added". If I try and proceed with the root method anyways the program will sit there for about 5 minutes or so once I click start and then I get the FAIL message in red...I have tried doing it on two computers and I have also tried to reinstall the S3 driver as well as download the other two necessary files a few different times.
Does anyone have any suggestions?

Im running 4.1.2 on my SGH-I747M on Fido

titaneds73 · Jul 10, 2013

chainfire first of all i would like to thank you for all your hard work and dedication.
second i would request or ask if you are going to update cf auto root for the samsung galaxy tab i497 at&t variant .since the jb update i dont think cf auto root would work but i could be wrong just havent been able to find anything confirming or denying.thank you for your time

root for i9195

Any chance for root for S4 mini? Would it be possible to use cf-autoroot fo i9505 instead of native i9195 which does not exist now, as it is the same msm8960 platform.

Hi

I have some stupid questions myself.

I got new SGS 3 International version
Updated to 4.1.2 and rooted with this cf-auto-root. Everything works fine so far

1. If I want to install custom Rom now I guess I cant just go into recovery and flash cm10.1 with only cf-auto-root on my phone?

2. I have latest CWM Recovery (CWM Recovery Touch 6.0.1.9) ready to flash with odin, can I just flash over my rooted phone or do I need 1st to remove this cf-auto-root???

thx

You only need to wipe factory reset and then install the ROM for a clean install or dirty flash just wiping dalvik cache and install. It is recommended to wipe factory reset before installing a new ROM. You can backup you're apps and data with Tibu (titanium backup), but only user apps not system apps.
