make sure you have usb debugging enabled.
I don't understand what I'm doing wrong. I followed the instructions correctly. It finds the zip and starts installing then reboots and nothing changed. I'm currently at work. Any ideas what I'm doing wrong? So when I get home I can jump right into rooting my phone

Did I say to use it for lagfix?....no but even someone who can't read well can use it to root....literally rooting for dummies
You were having trouble so I tried pointing you I'm the direction for easiest root method...heck you don't even have to know how to follow directions to use it
It's funny you talk down on somebody without even doing your research. If you did you would know that the app doesn't root your phone anymore. Thanks for the help tho I do appreciate it

I have saved on my computer Ryan's z4root.apk from 2-3 weeks ago, that will still Root won't it if I ever need on Stock 2.1.1?
I'd suppose it would - he just had to take out the root feature for some reason. The application wasn't defective.
Hello...
i am thinking of rooting my phone , for any reason if i want to factory default restore the phone is that restoring will disable the rooting or that rooting will be permanent ?
thanks a lot...
The only permanent thing you can do is unlock the bootloader.
Rooting, or any other change can usually be undone...

so i can unroot the device by factory default of something else?
Thanks alot for your reply

Root will be available after a factory reset, rooting apps mostly come along with unroot functionality.

Basically, once rooted, you can change the ROM on your phone to any compatible one you can find, including the original one...

Ok so I decided to unlock my bootloader. Then before rooting I decided to re-lock the bootloader and leave it be. Might root after a while but I want to play with the device at stock for a bit first.
Anyway I seem to have lost some apps. I can't find calculator or torch/flashlight anywhere now. And they were definitely there before I dabbled at all.
Calculator shows under all apps but not in the app drawer and I can't access it through all apps. Torch has gone completely it seems. I'm not sure if any others are missing yet but they could be.
Has anyone else had this and know a fix? I was under the impression that it was only rooting that wiped the data partition?
Thanks

It's unlocking the bootloader that wipes the data partition, not rooting.
Fix here but requires a custom recovery: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2200628
Ahh balls! I'll have to root it sooner than I wanted now then lol. Gosh darn it haha!

Just a note. Managed to install the apps one by one via file explorer. No custom recovery or rooting needed.....

You can't flash on this phone but you can use Safestrap to fake flash. There is a huge thread on it in the development section for this phone.

Even works on new updated firmware At&t pushed out.
N900AUCUBMJ5
Kingo is updated http://www.kingoapp.com/. They have more updates coming.
Lot of people now trust this method and It is one of the only ways to root right now.
I am using this method and have been since it came out.
11/26/13 On a warranty replacement with latest Kingo Root and firmware.
No problems what so ever, phone is perfect so far.
This method is so much faster and works perfectly.
Confirmed and working great on AT&T Note 3.
Does not trip the knox counter.
(It does show Custom Status but you can change it)
No factory reset, and no wiping data !!!!!!
One Click and your done.
SUPERSU
After that you can install XposedInstaller and WANAM.
There are some kool things you can do with that.
For one > Make it show Official Status instead of Custom.
My phone is sicker now !!!!!!! SWEET
Wanam Xposed
I have rooted my SM-N900A with Kingo root. I installed Exposed. And I have installed the Wanam module for Xposed. Under Security hacks, I have checked Fake system status. However, on reboot, it still says custom. Can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong? Or what else I might need to do?
Make sure Wanam exposed is checked off inside of xposed installer under the modules section that will fix your problem if not try updating installer then will work "you do know you need installer correct

Yes. I installed it first. Downloaded .apk from XDA. Then downloaded Wanam from Play store. I checked the wanam module in Xposed. Rebooted. Still said custom. Went in and unchecked Fake system status. Rebooted. Checked Fake system status. Rebooted. Still shows custom. Should I uninstall wanam module, reinstall, and check it in xposed before trying to make any changes? Thank you for your help.
I'm trying to think what I did but how I explained in post I swear worked for me cuz I had same problem sorry can't be more of assistance

Not a problem. You did help. You told me about activating the module in Xposed. But I did fix it. I uninstalled wanam, downloaded and installed from the play store again. Then I checked it in Xposed, opened wanam, checked fake status and rebooted. It works now. Thank you for your help.
Glad you got it working

No one knows yet...
Best bet would be upgrade your super user to pro and tell it to attempt to hang onto root when upgrading.

From what I heard 4.4 is several months away for AT&T users. AT&T is usually about 6 months behind the initial release of an Android version.
As for the root, King can be uninstalled simply bu going into settings for Super User. Once uninstalled the phone is returned to non-root stock. Then you can run the OTA once it comes. After the update, re-rooting will be the big question. Will Kingo still work? Who knows. Maybe AT&T will lock us down even tighter with that release.
hello fellow G flex Owners (sprint variant LS995). does anyone know on how i can get some sort of wireless infrastructure tethering to work. i have tried multiple apps wifi tethering, barnacle, open garden etc. and i cant get them to work on infrastructure. i have tried different settings and i just cant get them to work. all that i get is ad-hoc which to me is pretty worthless. i know that there is this one method to to enable native tethering on the sprint variant but i am scared that i might get soft bricked or some sort of boot loop and currently at the moment sprint variant does not have a method to unlock boot loader and access to cwm or twrp.
link to sprint native tethering (by justinswidebody)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2647656
i am scared to apply this method since justinswidebody states that "this could brick your device" what do you guys think are the odds of this bricking my device???
current status of my phone:
my phone is rooted successfully by ioroot method along with busy-box installed
No easy way yet, I'm waiting too
I used his method without any problems.
As long as the download is fine, your device will be fine

Hey justinswidebody, once rooted on this beast, is it as simple as using the unroot option thru chainfires SU to successfully receive an ota?
Btw
Thanks for helping out in the forums!

To be honest, I have never unrooted before. However yes, as long as you haven't deleted any system apps, that should work just fine.
