[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

[Q] N900AUCUBMJ5 Odin files

Been Looking for these since softbricking after the OTA update.
I recovered to quasi-usable with the MI9 PIT. However my PDA and CSC are now stuck at MI9.
Can't roll back to MI9 via oneclick, so I'm hoping someone has them and would like to share. Because they're obviously intrinsically awesome.
Looking for:
N900AUCUBMJ5 Firmwares.
All would be nice but I'm specifically interested in:
CSC
PDA
PIT
Thanks

I'm in the same boat. Is there anybody out there with a rooted updated(MJ5) ATT N3 that could try the method in this link and upload the files? Please?

Help anybody
Trying to flash a knoxraid using its meathods i wiped my system in SS recovery and wasnt suposed to reboot , so i lost SS recovery and my system and haven't found a solution that dont failed and i have a note 3 laying around i cant use and i dont know what to do ...

SS is still there. You need to flash the 'togetsafestrap' files in Odin to be able to boot it.
However, you are at the point of needing to flash the MLG AP, BL, and CP files in Odin to get the ROM to boot.

Also, this thread is long dead as I stated before. If you need to recover back to MJ5, you will find a tutorial in the QA section. You should be fine with just flashing the files I stated though.

Has anyone tried SRSRoot? Still on MF3 and don't want to lose root so I haven't upgraded to try it myself... I'm betting it probably uses the same or similar exploit that VRoot uses though if it's even legit...

He's on MI2, not ML2, he just doesn't understand the difference.

Anyone else try the method posted in this thread? Looks like they managed to flash the MI2 kernel and use saferoot to root then flashed the ML2 kernel to get a working phone.

SG i9305 Towelroot problem

Use odin to root your i9305. check the odin guide below in my signature and follow the steps to root your device, very easy

Thank you! I was thinking about Odin but yet again I was curious why the towelroot was not working uder those conditions. But I guess root is root no matter how you get it

Somehow the new towelroot is not compatible with the i9305. knowing this because it happened to me too . until i decided to try the version 1 and version 2 . and version 2 worked for me. Now i don't see any difference whether you root with odin or with towelroot. Unless you don't want your knox warranty void.. that's the only difference. if you did upgraded to 4.3 and you rooted your device with a different method other than towelroot, it will void your knox warranty.

CHEERS.

rooting att s5 on 4.3 after I've switched to t mobile

Okay, so I've searched and searched and haven't found an answer for this. I have a galaxy s5 I bought from att a while back, I have since unlocked it and switched to t mobile. I'm needing to root it but after I roll back the update with odin (?) then will I be able to upgrade again with the same process? Or is this cross platform fubar not going to work? I need to get my native tethering to work. Thanks for any help that can be provided.

Well for starters, a little more info about the phone would be helpful. What are you currently running, firmware version etc.

Looks like 4.4.2 and it's a g900a. It's also been Sim unlocked and the IMEI had been swapped. But everything else is from the factory AT&T.

Read step 5 in the OP you'll see "towel root" that's how you root 4.4.2

Towelroot will work if the kernel is 22 Jul 2014? I though there was a cut off?

If your on 4.4.2 then towel root should work. If it don't then just download the NCE downgrade file from the OP of that same thread and flash using the AP slot in odin 3.09 then use towel root again. I have used that downgrade file and total root numerous times. If your on 5.0 them don't use any of it as it will not work.

Sort of related, but I have an S5 on 4.4.4. I know I will need to downgrade temporally to perform the rooting process (no big deal, I had to do manual tweaking on my DROID 4 during its rooting process), but at this time my phone is unlocked (g900a). Will the process listed in muniz_ri's tutorial ruin the phone's unlocked state? I've never dealt with GSM stuff so this is all new to me.

No. The sim unlock information is in a different partition which is almost never touched by any ROMs.
