Dear @denson9874 even 3.10.7 didn't worked for me because i was not able to uncheck "Reactivation Lock" so i downgraded my firmware from 5.0.1 Lollipop to 4.4.4 Kitkat and boom i was able to uncheck my "Reactivation Lock". ROOT DONE :victory:

Glad you got it working!!!

SG i9305 Towelroot problem

Hi! I've just tried towelroot and it shoved in my face that my phone is not supported. I have tried the different modstrings and my kernel date is 28.11.2013 (should be supported). Any thoughts and ideas would be appreciated. Thank you!

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

I have also rooted my phone by flashing Philz recovery using stock recovery
Then, the way opened to Custom World.

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.

Hey guys do you think that the towelroot method will be available for the gt 19305 soon ? Have been wanting to root this phone for quite a while now would like to keep knox happy if you know what i mean.
just one more question does anybody know when the kitkat update will be available ota in Ireland?
CHEERS.

do n910t roms work with the n910t3?

So I got the SM-910t3 fro T-mobile. I followed TEKHD's guide on how to root it and all. Are the roms for the N910T compatible with the N910T3? I had tried to flash TEKXodus N4 5.1.1 URv1 (USA-N910T /T3) on my n910t3 but it resulted in a fail in TWRP, and did not allow me to restore my back ups . I ended up having to use Samsung kies 3 to get my phone working again. I was wondering if anybody else with a n910t3 had been able to install a different rom. Any help would be cool.
This is also my first post on this amazing forum :laugh:
Great question! I'm confused as well

That rom is 100% identical to the OP, the only difference is I changed the updater script to match the N910T3. As far as the kernel, check the op.

Did you just install the rom or did you have to install any other files to get this working on N910T3? Thanks.

couple of questions about rooting Note 4

I've had the Note 4 for a few months now and I have been thinking about rooting. Is there any kind of performance improvement with any of the Touch wiz roms? What features will be unavailable if I root? Marshmallow is supposed to be out soon, so should I wait for the update or root before?

A new kernel will give you better performance and battery.
Once marshmallow comes out you can always odin the firmware or go back to stock and take the ota

So for DOK2 on N910T I use second link, download the latest cf auto root for my phone and twrp. I see there's a kernel download there too, do I download that too? When flashing through Odin do I auto root first or twrp?
