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 :-/

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.

Looks promising. I like that it doesn't trip KNOX but will the "custom status" be a problem?
I'm 7 days into this phone, still have a week to return/exchange it if something is defective. So far it's running fine, dont foresee need to take it back.
But .............. If I did need to return it, is there an "unroot" and/or a way to remove the custom status ?
*** EDIT *** I haven't read all the way thru the root thread, so if my question has already been answered I apologize.
No Custom Status
I have now rooted twice, flashing the firmware posted in this forum in the middle. My phone has not shown custom on the bootscreen once. I also encrypt before I root, so maybe thats it. Who knew you could be encrypted with root?
Have you uninstall all the att bloatware without problems? Or used greenify to improve battery life?

Yes, all the typical rooting items work as they should. You can even flash zips with fireflash, and not trip Knox.
It's NOT in the bootscreen where you can see the custom status. It's in settings / about device / status. In the last line it crearly says "Custom" under Device status.

You'll generally have to manually flash updates once you've rooted, the OTA process will usually refuse to update a device running a modified system image. Not that big a problem, but sometimes it confuses people.

Or, install Samsung drivers, then Odin, and flash a stock image that way to return to stock, then OTA works fine. There is another thread around here with a stock image, I'd suggest anyone looking to return to stock in order to complete an OTA, to review that thread.

Would we be able to use fireflash and keep root if somebody were to get the OTA and customize it for our needs to keep root, etc? I know it's a hard question to answer, but maybe you guys have experience with other locked bootloader devices.

This is similar to how we did it on the AT&T S4 using safestrap to flash touchwiz based roms that were pre-rooted. Unfortunately, we wouldn't be able to flash non-touchwiz based roms without an unlocked bootloader.

Okay I recently upgraded from ank4 to the dok2 baseband and bootloader so I could install a Rom that required it. I have been trying to Odin back to ank4 or to go to cod6. Everytime it fails to flash. I have tried re-downloading files and check the md5 also using different USB ports with stock USB cable to no avail. Can someone help me out with this issue please
My understanding is that you can't downgrade after going to 5.1.1. Unless I am wrong, you're stuck at 5.1.1
Oh man for real? Do you happen to know why or if there is anyway at all to downgrade... Well this really sucks if that is the case. Thanks

Battery life and full xposed support are why I stay on 4.4.4 (FireKat ). I have gotten far too used to 6-7hours SOT. 5.0.1 was a mess and 5.1.1 is not downgradeable yet so 4.4.4 for me.

Fwiw, there's no reason verify md5 on Odin if the file your flashing ends with .md5. Odin automatically checks it against the calculated sum when the file was created.

ROMS....sorry stupid word predict
I built this ROM as a test for those who have locked bootloaders on the Tab S and can't get root.
In my experience Samsung bootloader locked devices will not allow a custom kernel or recovery to be installed. However it is possible that the bootloader will allow a modified rom to be installed.
The rom is bone stock Lollipop 5.0.2 except it is pre-rooted with SuperSU 2.49. It needs to be installed via ODIN. If ODIN allows it to flash then its highly likely it will boot just fine.
If there are any issues that arise then all that is required is to flash the stock firmware, available here: http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/database/SM-T707V/
T707VVRS1BOK1_preroot_system.img.tar
If anyone gives this a shot, please report with details.

If it works for the T707v then I'll do the same for the other Bootloader locked devices. It all depends on whether ODIN will flash it or not.
The reason I have used the T707v is because this device at least has the stock firmware available, so it should be relatively safe to try this.
Not many wanting a rooted t707v then.
