  1. This is old and won’t work with the newest patch made by Samsung. So far I haven’t found a viable root for the Samsung Galaxy SCH-I925 Android Version 4.1.2

  2. I also got the same thing. It turns off the tablet and it sits there powering the battery. A manual reboot of course does not reboot into recovery mode.

  3. somebode succeeded? my device is off, dont find last step – apply update from /sdcard, just see the file there

  4. OK, and what to do in case that my Tab do not have D /SDCARD therefore when I click on update from SDCARD i received message volume not exists?

  6. this is weird…. followed everything step-by-step and now the device charges through usb… no super user rights, though
