[ROOT] SGH-I467 ATT Note 8

[phissith]

Need help asap

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://forum.xda-developers.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

Hi all, I usually don't leave comment here because you guys does a great job at providing me much needed info. However I just ran into a major problem with this i467. Here it is: I have Unlimited Grandfather data and LTE plan with AT&T as the sim to go with it as well. I've taken the sim from a working phone to put in to this tablet but the data just will not work. Called Tech, she told me because i467 is consider a tablet it will require me to switch from Phone unlimited data plan to a tablet plan for it to work and of course I will loose my unlimited plan. The tablet have signal bars but it is grayed out. My question are, if I rooted it or unlock it will this take care of my data plan woes? I really wanted this to work and was wilingl to wait it out till Dev. get some kind of custom ROM out for this model, in the mean time I was willing to use Google Voice and TalkaTone in the mean time. Please help, somebody out there know the answer

Need help again

Can anyone tell me why my i467 have mobile data bar appear 3 bars right now even though I have not put any sim card in it? Can anyone confirm this happen on their Note 8.0 as well? I really want to know if my tablet is defective!! Thanks!

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 did not notice anything like that with my device. It definitely sounds quite odd.

Thank you zeroxcorbin and all who assisted with this. Worked perfectly for me. My note 8 has been liberated!

is there a way or is there a youtube step by step guide for the at&t galaxy note version? I've rooted numerous devices but this one specifically is just plain frustration, I did update to the latest firmware, so i'm not sure if thats the cause.

 

[tbonus76]

Mine had been updated to the latest firmware and I had no problem. Just follow the directions in the first post- there is a provision in there for those who updated to the latest firmware. Basically, you have to Odin back to the original factory firmware before flashing the pre-rooted one, just follow the steps.

Mine shows signal with no SIM also. I guess the radios are picking up a signal.

I bought a used note (sgh-i467) from eBay. It has SuperSU installed as a system app, but is not rooted (tibu says so). Is there something simple I can do to get root back? I'm assuming it was rooted before.
-------tried again and now tibu can get root access.

Hotfile has been shutdown. Anyone have the file that they can upload?

 

[rsnuffdog]

Anyone know where I can download SGH-I467 AT&T firmware since hotfile is down? looked online unable to find a download source.. Can anyone help?

 

[500GHZ]

Lucky for you guys I didnt feel like waiting for hotfile since im not premium

I used Jdownloader and this link and it took about ~5min with 20 connections

Can't post link PM me for it

SAMMOBILE are pushing intensively their file repository to TERAFILE - just check regularly SAMMOBILE for the new link. I needed another ROM which was not available yesterday and I am downloading it now.

First download resulted in "The parameter is incorrect" error. I'm re-downloading the file now.

 

[elrayray]

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

This was exactly my scenario and removing the .md5 extension from the CSC file DID work. I'm updating to CAMF2 now. Hopefully, all is good after that. :good:

*UPDATE* All is good! Root access on CAMF2.

Stock Firmware??

Does anyone have an alternative site to download the i467 firmware from (Step 1 of the rooting directions)? The rapidgator site doesn't allow free downloads over 500 and it won't take payment either...
