[ROOT] SGH-I467 ATT Note 8

ZeroxCorbin · Sep 3, 2013

Hello, I can not post on the developer forums yet, so I will post what I can here.

I was able to get root access to my Samsung ATT Note 8 (SGH-i467). See attached image.

Thank you;

I will try to put together a complete how to when I can. For now I will link to the image files I created.

DO THIS AT YOUR OWN RISK! I DO NOT TAKE ANY RESPONSIBILITY FOR YOUR DEVICE NOT WORKING.

Here we go.

1. Download the i467 firmware from http://www.sammobile.com
1a. Extract the main zip file you downloaded. Leave the .tar.md5 files intact. They are the files you select with Odin in steps six (6) and nine (9).

2. Download Odin 3.07 from http://xdaforums.com/show....php?t=1738841
2a. Extract and launch Odin.

3. Download the pre-rooted I467UCAMF1 images from SAMSUNG-SGH-I467I467UCAMF1-ROOT.tar
3a. Do not extract or modify this file.

4. Do a factory reset of the device either in system settings or using recovery (volume up). Yes, I have found you must do this.
5. Boot into download mode. (Home + Volume Down + Power)

Step 6 is only required if you accepted the OTA "CAMF2".
6. Use Odin to flash all four files downloaded in step 1. BOOTLOADER, CODE, MODEM and CSC files.
6a. Let the device finish install and boot.
6b. Boot into download mode. (Home + Volume Down + Power)

This is the fun part.
7. Select PDA in Odin and select the file downloaded in step 3. Make sure all other files are not checked. Flash... Odin will say it failed. Yes, don't worry, recovery is still there.
8. Reboot into download mode (Home + Volume Down + Power)
9. Using Odin only flash the BOOTLOADER, MODEM, and CSC from step 1. Do not flash the CODE file or the modified image. In other words, leave PDA unchecked in Odin.
10. Let the device install and reboot.

You should now be able to run SuperSU.

If you want to update to OTA CAMF2 then follow these steps BEFORE DOING ANYTHING ELSE;

Thanks to DanMc85 and others for testing. Also, usernamenotfound wrote instructions in the next post, thank you.

1. Start SuperSU and in the settings enable Survival mode.

2. Connect to a Wifi network. (Thanks aTt)

3. Go to system Settings and select About Device at the bottom of the list.

4. Select Software update on the right.

5. Go through the update process and the device will reboot. You should be at version CAMF2.

[EDIT]

Bootloader = BOOTLOADER...tar.md5
PDA = CODE...tar.md5 - Don't select this in step nine (9). Leave blank.
PHONE = MODEM...tar.md5
CSC = CSC...tar.md5

Thank you ZeroxCorbin, this method works flawlessly!

Thanks to DanMc85, crazymikey, & Danno5150 for the following:

If you are looking to update to MF2 after you root, make sure that you enable Survival Mode within SuperSU Pro and then perform the update BEFORE you remove any bloatware or make any changes to the file system, as changes in the system will cause the update to fail.

Remember to do a backup of any apks before removal as this will allow you to put them back in place in preparation for future updates. (MF3?)

Hope this helps mitigate some of the questions.

Thanks again guys!

I think we posted at the same time. :highfive:

I updated the instruction to include the update to CAMF2. Thanks for testing it out and letting us know.

ZC, thanks for this. This is great and I appreciate it. Also, the link in step three for the download wasn't a link for me, so I'm attaching here.

Here's the Odin 3.07 link:

And finally, where the OP lists "Modem" in Odin, I had it as "Phone".

I hope it helps someone.

For anyone trying to tether following root, I used the Wifi Tether instructions at this link and they worked.

Thank you very much

Everything went well and I was able to root after 2 months. Took a while, but thank yery much. I've missed Titanium Backup so much.

Instructions were very clear and concise. Was able to root in about 15 minutes with reboots and pushes. Worked perfectly following the instructions to upgrade to MF2

Thank you this worked perfectly; note I can use the device the way I want to.

Thanks I was worried I was gonna have to take this back! But it worked on secound tty and using Titanium Backup Pro I can fully integrate Root apps and updates into the stock system rom with no trouble! How do you install a TWRP Recovery for this model?

What will happen if my fone is an unlocked ATT

I am a little worried because I have it unlocked for international 3g sim. If I root it, will i have to unlock again?
Sorry about my dumb question

We can't flash any custom recoveries until the bootloader is unlocked

At least we have root.

I think that he's talking about SIM unlock maybe? If that's the case, I'm assuming that the way that this root was setup, you will probably need to re-unlock the SIM, but I'm not 100% sure.

trikar21b · Sep 10, 2013

So glad we finally have root! Won't do this until a bootloader is figured out though. But this is the first step!

I wish I knew more on how to crack bootloaders to help out :/

So I know, does this method work with the OTA Update that AT&T put out in August?

Step six is just for you.

sparker366 · Sep 22, 2013

Only issue I had was forgot how picky Odin is about cables. Used a monoprice one and it Odin wouldn't see it. Used the stock cable and all was good.

Tablet is rooted and am in the process of debloating it.

Thanks very much for this. We all appreciate it.

richardt59 · Sep 26, 2013

Happy Note 8

Thanks thanks thanks. It worked like a charm!!! :good: I did have to find a shorter cable - wonder why my 10ft cable didn't work :laugh:

I am unclear on the use of odin

I am unclear on these two parts:

Step 6 is only required if you accepted the OTA "CAMF2".
6. Use Odin to flash all four files downloaded in step 1. BOOTLOADER, CODE, MODEM and CSC files.
6a. Let the device finish install and boot.
6b. Boot into download mode. (Home + Volume Down + Power)

9. Using Odin only flash the BOOTLOADER, MODEM, and CSC from step 1. Do not flash the CODE file or the modified image. In other words, leave PDA unchecked in Odin.

I have not used Odin, how do you "flash" these files? It looks like you have to do them one at a time. I am just unclear how to flash the files.

Also, It looks like you are doing them twice if you have the CAMF2 update, which I do, is that the case?

I downloaded the factory firmware from sammobile (took over 2 hours)

but I think the csc file is corrupt. odin gives an error when I try to select it, and windows shows that the last modified date for the file is year 3247

I downloaded the zip again from sammobile and it's still the same.

Could anyone upload the csc file somewhere like dropbox??

Thanks

EDIT: When I tried to select the csc file I was getting the error "parameter is incorrect". Googling the error shows people saying to remove the ".md5" extension and retry.

When I did, it accepted it (although I didn't flash it yet). But I just wanted to make sure that I am not bypassing the checksum and flashing a corrupt file. Is that what you guys had to do as well, assuming it is still the same factory firmware on sammobile?

Thanks
