Thanks for the good laugh buddy.... I know that wasn't your intention. I'm not trying to be mean, you really made me laugh hard and for that I thank you.

Wow, haven't been that high/drunk/sheltered in a long time. Also not trying to be mean, just facetious.
Adorable, though...
*tears*laugh*roll*

Hey, this is the post that let me know!
I had pretty much given up on root about two weeks ago, so I quit checking, decided to wonder a bit and looked. LOW AND BEHOLD I saw this thread "Root is out" on the mail page and pissed myself. jk Thanks man (OP) you made my weekend.

Please search before posting. This is very old news

Sweet!
I wonder if it means they've rooted it, because they'd need to do that first?

no,
it means they got a developer edition of the phone, which is unsecure and with root by default.

Loki in the work?

Does anyone know of anyone in the works to bypass the locked bootloader?
DesignGears is working on it. As you can see from his twitter post when he finished making root for our phones.

[Q] Question about a 'ROOT ALL DEVICES' app...

So I doing some searching and happen to find this. Has anyone ever tried this? and can vouch for it? Seems like one of those "to good to be true" type deals...
Ok.. can post the link, so, if you go to YouTube and search for the following you will see the video.

First, I would say buyer beware. Second, I seriously doubt it considering no root yet with the locked boot loader and the talent in this community. However, if you are willing to jump first...let us know how it goes and make sure you have video to prove it

Thanks for the info! I guess I jumped the gun on asking in a new thread (and I'll admit it, I didn't do a basic search for Kingo before hand.) I'm not quite sure I wanna be the first to try this on my AT&T S5.. even though I'm kinda that desperate to get Root :-/

I am waiting for 2 things
1) root on stock ROM
2) possibility of larger internal storage
I would say it's gonna be a while. the man the myth the legend chain fire said it's gonna be a long time before we get root access

The latest firmware update for the AT&T S4 (NB1) does not yet have a direct root method. The obstacles for obtaining root on this phone (S5) and that phone are generally the same. So I would say root will be achieved on the S4 (newest firmware) before or at the same time as root for the S5. So I would say you are correct about it taking a little while.
I was under the impression that the CF-AUTO ROOT Method would work on the at&t SGH-I 337. Please advice

Nope. Won't work. There is no direct root method for NB1 yet. There is a work-around that involves SafeStrap and installing a pre-rooted ROM, but that's it at the moment.

I'm sure it's been asked and answered, but since you mentioned it.. The same type of work-around, using SafeStrap and installing a pre-rooted stock ROM, can't be used on the S5?
Here is a mirror to the Cf auto root method I used using Odin and it gave me for access I can't speak for the NB1 as my s4 was 6 months old at the time.

So does this method works in the S5? I think thats what you mean right?
Pretty sure safe strap requires root first on JB ROM, then flashing a pretty rooted kit Kat update.

No it doesn't sorry for the confusion this only works on the at&t galaxy s4
(Quoted from Chainfires Google+) That's impossible to predict, but I certainly wouldn't bet on it. It may take months or never happen. If root is important to you, get an unlocked device and be sure you'll have it.

I didn't know ROOT was available until I saw your post - I checked out Chainfire's CF Autoroot thread and found that he did indeed post a download for the TMOBILE NOTE 4 - you will find more information here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-4/orig-development/sm-n910-cf-auto-root-t2897428

I don't think I want to root my phone just yet seeing that it would void the warranty I'll wait until a root that does mess with the kNOX comes out

I really wanted to hold out too. But I just cant anymore. especially with all the great developers getting on this device. I know the Custom ROM support will be great and it helps to really debloat the device. Anyway I wont be going without any protection. Im getting the Note 4 and then i will purchase SquareTrade's $100 for 2 years Insurance in case anything goes wrong. I still haven't voided Knox on my Dad's S5 or my Note Pro 12.2 because I'm so paranoid.

You may find yourself waiting a very long time.
someone might want to post over at the TWRP website, and see what files they need to get a TWRP going for this phone.

I looked for the right place to "volunteer" to help supply this information, but I don't see any place to post over on the TWRP web site and I don't see a general thread in XDA for TRWP (they all seem to be phone specific and I don't want to hijack them). Can you please point me out a link?

I think its because the note 5 specs and photos have leaked out already, so people are already moving on from the "old" note 4

Already started a topic here http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-4/help/root-wihtout-knox-tripping-t3103910 about it. But it's using a Arm64 vulnerability so it's of NO use on the Note 4. Sorry to burst the bubble. It will probably work on others 64bit devices like the M9 and LG too
