[Q] Kingo Android Root possible?

Theres a new one click root solution floating around called Kingo Android Root. The website states it works on all version up to & including 4.3. It also includes a good number of sammy devices in its supported list. Im wondering if it will work for the ATT note 3 which doesnt have a root solution yet. Im willing to guinea pig it when I get my device but was just wondering if anyone happened to try it on a different version?

Bump...im still waiting on mine but if anyones brave....

If the bootloader is locked it isn't going to work until an exploit is found.

Looking into it on other forums its said to be working on several bootloader locked phones specifically the xperia z. I dont see how the bootloader would affect it as its not tryingnto install recovery or anything other then granting superuser access.

This root method works on the S4 with locked boot loader. Of we can't get recovery at least root access for ROM tool box will be nice.

I wonder if you can disable or force stop knox through the app manager and then try to do it. Hopefully mine gets here today so I can mess around with it. I live like 2 blocks away from an AT&T store if something goes wrong haha

I want to use the gameplayer to modify game!! Hope someone figure out method to root!

"Titanium Backup". You have a lot of reading to do in the general threads. Depending on your firmware version will determine your available root methods. There's Kingo Root,Evilpotatoman's method etc.Read through the threads and then read again to make sure you grasp the methods.

The most effective way to remove bloat would be to root it, install titanium backup, and either uninstall or freeze applications.

Thanks guys, I wanted to unlocked and install 4.4 ROM on this, but it seems that ROM development is still underway so just wanted to know some quick ways to remove bloat on this phone.
I know lots of readings are necessary.

IS the galaxy s5 going to get root anytime soon?

Is the galaxy s5 going to get root? If so how long? Can't wait to root this device!!

Odin root may or may not be possible on the ATT variant, only time will tell.

It time to return s5

I saw a post from Chainfire indicating he was releasing auto-roots for a bunch of variants today(he didn't mention which ones but I've got my fingers crossed). Apparently the current bottleneck is Sammy's crappy d/l servers.

Looks like no dice with Chainfire, at least for now. https://plus.google.com/+Chainfire/posts/JVxv5298wdU
Apparently he needs the recovery extracted from the firmware. I checked sammobile.com for our firmware and they haven't put it out yet. I sure hope they do.

Yeah thats the part I'm not following. Can't I pull this from the Phone with Odin and send it to him or does the dump function not work on the S5?

You can't usually dump the recovery partition without having root...usually a custom recovery is needed...hence he needs the firmware which contains the recovery partition.

Just curious if we will be able to root without a unlocked bootloader. With other devices I don't recall that being an issue. But then again this is the first one I've had that's been this locked down.

CF root likely won't work if the ATT BL is locked, but the only definitive way to check is to get the firmware and extract the recovery, send it to CF and have him package something up and then have someone flash with Odin, if the BL is locked, then it will either fail to flash, fail to boot, or worse, also once you flash anything not deemed official you trip the knox warranty flag and your without a warranty..

I'm pretty sure root will break some things. I was able to sign up for Isis and get the $50 credit, but my wife wasn't able since her Note 3 is rooted. Google Wallet might still work though. Ready to root though.

Do you have xposed framework installed on her note 3? If so use rootcloak and your problem is solved.

AT&T S5 Devs, do we have any?

Really curious to see if we have any Devs working on the AT&T S5 yet? If so, when do you all think we can expect to start seeing some stuff in the development threads? Obviously BL needs unlocking, if possible. Do we know of anyone working on this?
Thanks Guys!!!

Wow, you haven't read this forum much before posting, have you.
No root yet = no development yet.

I am aware there is no root. If your insinuating that there is some other thread on the subject, I am fairly certain there is not. If you mean something different entirely then would you please elaborate?

My S5 is coming in today. Locked boot loader means no development ever except for maybe some safe strap stuff much later down the road which is just rehash of stock roms. No AOSP or CM.

I personally don't really care about roms, as I like the new Touchwiz and don't want to lose some of its nice features. I would like to have root, though. Hopefully someone finds a way for that to happen soon.

Edited OP to clarify on some confusion about exactly what I was asking.

Yes indeed. I just want some debloat and maybe a cusom kernel for minor performance tweaks.

Chainfire needs to the stock recovery to build root for the device, basically auto root by chainfire modifies stock recovery temporarily, flashes su then flashes back stock firmware through odin.

You can't pull recovery without root on your device, the only thing we ATT users can do is wait for Samsung to post the firmware which they havent, SM-G900A is the ATT model number, Tmo and Sprint are already up so they already have root.

keep refreshing and hope it gets posted soon lol.

hmm

Keep in mind guys that if the ATT BL is locked chances are CF Root will fail to flash or boot even if CF builds one for ATT...also if this happens knox warranty is tripped leaving you without warranty coverage and no root...likely a new KK exploit will have to be found...hope I'm wrong about the BL as I'd like to get rid of bloat before handing the phone off to GF..

Wow this iB4STiD person has some serious thanks racked up!!! Hey iB4STiD, are you going to be working on stuff for the S5?

You better hope he is. He was one of my favorite S4 developers.

He just released some excellent roms for the M8...and they all rock.

question

I saw you can unroot in supersu. I was wondering if i unroot would i be able to factory reset with no probpems and would all bloatware return even though i removed them?

No the bloatware will not return. You need to use the back to stock method. This will set the root checker back to zero and make the phone look like it's never been used.
I like my phones like I like my women.... flexible

No. You can do a factory reset with a rooted g flex on any carriers firmware without issue(aside from losing all data). A factory reset won't unroot the device but I think you can do that through the superuser app itself.

I really liked the phone at first but I'm really sorry I bought it at this point. I miss my Sammy! I'm praying for loki and custom recovery:crying:

Yeah bro not being Abel to flash any roms right now and how this phone is right now got me bummed. At this point im willing to trade it for a note 3 or even the new htc one.

Guys. Honestly I've had all Sammy phones. And I've been rooting and modding and flashing for about 6 years. This is honestly the first phone I've never even had somewhat of an interest to root. I've read through the thread but right now there is no reason for me to root. Phone performs great. Looks great. Outstanding battery life. This phone is phenomenal AS IS. IMHO

You have to go back to stock for the update. I tried every way around that but it kept picking up on the root being tripped somehow.
