I just want to be sure about rooting - AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello! I bought a new Galaxy Note 3 N900A yesterday and I've rooted all of my Samsung phones before, but I'm getting mixed messages on the internet and the forums that it can't be rooted. Can it be rooted?

Kingo doesn't work on KitKat. It only works on Jellybean.
If you're on 4.4.2 you can root with Towelroot (search on Google and you'll find the apk). If you're on 4.4.4 there are threads the AT&T Note 3 general section about how to root that.

You're absolutely right. I rooted using Kingo on 4.3. I rememeber towelroot not working for me though on 4.4 on the n900 but give it a whirl.

When I was digging around the internet getting confused about rooting this device, I saw people were having issues with KNOX? Do I need to worry about that if I root with Towelroot?

SRS Root?

SRS Root claims via their twitter and website that KOT49H.N900AUCUCNC2 is now rootable as of 1-April. Has anyone tried this method?
Note: This is the OTA update downloaded from AT&T.
If it was rootable, we would be well aware. Can you provide a link?

This is what I found but i'll have to study this a little more. Searching google I haven't found anybody that used this since we got the update and knowing we just got this special bootloader with the 4.4.2 update.
on their site under Last Actions by our Users, it does show someone rooting our device, but who knows... tempting to try maybe

yeah, i just updated it and it changed, but maybe it's just updating to the newest activity? when i saw it it was definitely the KitKat NC2 firmware that was supposedly rooted

Same here. The app says successful but no root on the phone.
Tried to download it... Got this.... FYI
EDIT:
This is possibly part of the method the software uses to gain root access...
I have never heard of this before. Things like this make me nervous. I like recognized XDA developers showing me how to root. Got a screen shot of NC2 being rooted.
Could be real... but...

Can towelroot be used on AT&T galaxy s 6/edge?

Just like the title implies, does anyone think it may be possible to root the att/Verizon versions with towelroot as was possible with the s5? Any brave soul want to try? Any dev believe this idea has feet?
No it does not work

Is there any potential for a tool to exploit the same hole as towelroot did on the s5 to gain root on the s6/edge?
Could be possible depending if there is an exploit that has not been patched
I dream that one day we will have root.

If you did not know yet, Chainfire has released Autoroot for the S6 and S6 Edge. Go to the Chain Fire website for download.

That's correct. AT&T and Verizon variants have a locked bootloader. No root for you. (Seinfeld joke)

[Q] Help Rooting?

How do I root my SM-G900A?
it is running android 5.0 Lollypop. I have tried Kingo, TowelRoot (which is supposed to work on the ATT Galaxy S5 but doesn't), 1-Click Root, and Odin3. None of them are working... Is there another way to root my device? note: (i used to have a nexus 7 and a kindle fire which i rooted)

If you took the ota 5.0 upgrade or bought the phone with the 5.0 firmware already on it there is currently no way to root and no way to downgrade. If you search ( 5.0 root or something along them lines ) you'll find plenty of threads talking about it.

For the g900a on stock 5.0, no. OC4 bootloader cannot be downgraded, even with odin.

Does anyone have a link to root for the T-Mobile LG Leon 5.1.1? I see links pointing to KingRoot but alot of people are saying it doesn't work for 5.1.1......I see custom ROMs listed so I know root is available, I just can't find a clear answer or link to a working root...again, T-Mobile LG Leon 5.1.1, NOT MetroPCS....everyone keeps pointing me to the MetroPCS version and I don't wanna make the wrong attempt and brick the phone because it is not mine.

What I'm saying is use pingpong root to root the phone. Then have kingroot installed because it will pop-up when an app requests root for you to approve.

Never mind what I said. But you need kingroot and you need to replace the King user with superuser. It's quite easy

Can someone confirm this works for H34510e? Excited to develop for this phone.
Yes it does. You will need king root and then you replace King user with super user. Simply search how on Google.
