[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!

Way to root I537UCUBMI2

I just flashed I537UCUBMI2, this is the first 4.3 for i537, but I found I can't root it! I can't remove the AT&T software and add Chinese language.
I was just want to give up, lucky, I use one Chinese software called “ROOT大师”, you can just search "VRoot" with Google. Now my phone is rooted, and I have removed all the annoying software.
Good luck.

Can you provide a link for this root method and a tutorial on how you used it? This way there is no confusion for anyone. I for one would appreciate it because I've been on mf1 for months now and have wanted to flash the mi2 leak but I've been waiting patiently for root.

Sorry to reply late, because I am in China.
I will show you the steps in brief.
1. Just flash leaked I537UCUBMI2
2. Go to setting, enable the USB debug. Just like other Android 4.X phone, I noticed we should tick always enable to connect to this computer.
3. Install the "root master", this is a Chinese software, maybe something can't display correctly in non-Unicode computers.
Software download:
REMOVED
After install this software, open this software, connect your phone to your computer, maybe need to install some drivers.
4. Just simply click "一键ROOT"， the green button, the phone will restart 2 times, and after that, your phone is rooted.
After your Phone is rooted. The software will show:"三星I537已经拥有ROOT权限“
Sorry, because I cannot post pictures. Just follow the steps, you can make it.

Thanks for replying. I've got everything downloaded and I will try tomorrow after I get off of work. Thanks again.

Be wary of these Chinese root methods. They are known to collect your IMEI number which is not needed for a rooting process. Therefore XDA has not allowed any links to their software at this time.l

Thanks for the heads up. I figured something wasnt right about this. When i searched for this root method every site that i had found was in Chinese which made me start to think about it. Another thing that makes me wonder is that we have had this leak for awhile now and no one else has had success with root and then out of nowhere this pops up. Plus the op doesn't have very many posts here on xda. In going to play it safe and wait on something else.

Rooted anyway. 4.3 is much faster than 4.2.2. Samsung keyboard is better but still doesn't match up to real Swype imo. Battery life is remarkably better. 22 hr 40 mins with 23%. 2 hr 43 mins screen on time. Always died on me before. Seems more stable overall but watchon is broken for me.

Actually piracy is not the most important thing for me. May be this software will collect IMEI or other information, but I think they will not do anything bad, the built-in software is more annoying for me.

Did you use the chinese software?

Kingo root method would probably be better for you than Vroot. Kingo has responded to XDA's request to remove the IMEI collection...it just not has been confirmed but they have always kept communication open with XDA.

Yes I used the Chinese software.

I didn't even look I just installed SuperSU over it. Works perfectly.

I flashed the 4.3 leak and rooted using vroot. I replaced the superuser app with supersu. I'll report back in a few days if I run into any problems.

Thanks for suggesting Vroot, tried it on friend's S4 active and worked like charm. Although it installed unnecessary app to manage data when connected to PC which i removed using titanium.

I tried it and it works good. After I rooted it I downloaded SuperSU and ROM Toolbox pro and froz VROOT so it wouldnt come back and try something. No problems running AT&T SGH-I537 4.3.3 rooted...

Thanks! , hopefully I will be able to mod this phone back and forth.
And if this has been asked before, sorry, again, I couldn't find it.

Safestrap does nothing to the kernel or the original stock ROM so it does not affect any of the secure features. It is similar to a dual boot on a PC.

so im assuming everything went OK no problems .. i was looking to do the same but im on MJ5 att completely stock havent even tried to mess with this phone yet

Kingo is just one click and it is done. Just download the program to your PC. Connect your phone and run the program. it tells you what you need to do and all that is, is to confirm a couple of phone responses.

Do you need to be connected to the Internet when you run kingo?

The phone does not need the internet for Kingo. But the PC does and the phone must be connected to the PC.

Are you aware of any efforts to port CyanogenMod or other high quality AOSP build to hlteatt? I tried the latest build of CM11 - see http://forum.cyanogenmod.com/topic/90429-cm11-samsung-galaxy-note-3-att/, as the 'assert' command in it's install script specifically permits installing on AT&T variant of Note 3, but without much success. My other favorite - OmniROM, does not support Note 3 at all.

If you want to play with the stock ROM, I suggest that you restore the backup to one of the slots. Then make another backup before you do anything you're not sure of. If you mess anything up, just restore the last backup. If you really mess it up, you have the stock slot to boot from.

I don't think we can do that (yet). The ROM has to be a modification od Samsung's stock ROM. But I feel the same way you do. I'd love Cyanogen and a dozen other ROMs to play with. And one that's super fast and doesn't use much battery. I'm trying X-Note right now. It's fast according to both benchmarks. I'll give it a few days of settling to see how it does on battery.

New update!

Just got the new update in from Samsung for my sm-g900F.
Using the phone for about an hour now and one thing that is noticeably better is the fingerprint sensor. I've tried the weirdest angles I could think of and it still works! Much less errors than before.
Overall phone also seems to be responding to commands better but I'll know for sure after a fee days of use.
Still waiting for a Play edition so I can have aosp now!

What update? I'm in Scotland and haven't received any

Well if you have root why not flash the new rom with Mobile Odin Pro straight away and enable Everroot and the other 2 options and also keep root.

For everyone that didn't receive the new ANG2 update yet:
My XtreStoLite stock ROM is already based on this firmware already since yesterday.

Yup! Showing 325 MB free for me right now. But in use the phone is definitely much smoother.

So smoother operation in a 250mb update, less ram available and still 4.4.2 droid. Makes me curious for the whatsnew log. I really hoped for 4.4.4 by now since other very expensive flagships left 4.4.2 ages ago in modern Phone time table
