Thanks for having me as a member. :) I am a noob and do not understand much of what I have read the past few days. I felt this forum was the best place to post. If you can help me, thanks. If your local to Richmond, VA, even better. :good: If you run a business that can help me, feel free to send me your info. :fingers-crossed:
I had an ipod touch 1 that died and I purchased a samsung galaxy tab 3 model sm-t217s from a co worker who loves all things wireless and sprint powered. I discovered 2 card slots and saw one was a sim card. I promptly returned it to my coworker who said they didnt use the tablet anymore and had another phone. I advised them to call Sprint and see if it needs to be returned and if they needed to do anything that a reset of the tablet sold to me.
The tablet works ok, did a lot of updating and wants a sim card.I enabled developer mode or menu in settings and can get a lot of extra data like imei, hex, meid, mac id, etc, etc, etc.
Question:
Ok, If possible can in theory this tablet work on straight talk, wallet pop or some pay as you go data service ? Yes or No? and which one, which one do I need to buy?
What does flash mean?
What does unlock mean?
Do I need a sim card before attempting to unlock?
Do I need to root it?
Reading the forums in searching other than enable developer I tried to "upgrade" the OS on the tablet. I downloaded oden 3.09 and "installed" twrp2.7 and or cwm try 15. :confused: I got a boot menu when I hold down the volume and power button. I then tried 2 files I had uploaded to the sdcard Supersu 2.01 and the 2 abovementioned. :confused:
When I select install from sdcard It looks like it wants to install it, but I get some red text that says something to the effect signature invalid, verification failed, etc. I do not have it word for word. I found another thread here about that and the solution was to use cf root. What is cf root and do I need to do anything with it?
Thanks for your help. I feel like an idiot as I cant figure this out of get this to work as I had purchased a used samsung note 10 2012 model and successfully installed 4.4.2, but reverted to the stock os as the samsung crap made the stylus more useful. :D
PS, Im not a robot. :eek:
