Highest version successfully rooted?

Hello all, I picked up an N900A for a great price, didn't know about the locked bootloader, I assumed it would be the same as the T-Mobile one I used to have. No dice. I'd just like to know what the latest version is that can be rooted.
I don't need custom ROMs or any of that jazz...I always end up modding the crap out of them and changing everything so it's pointless for me to flash somebody else's preferences and tweaks I probably won't agree with anyway. I just need root, SuperSU, busybox, and xposed support.
Right now I'm on NC2 4.4.2 which is decent but I need Lollipop to run some apps I use. A few of them don't support Kitkat anymore.
Any advice would be appreciated

I'd like to know how to root as well. My n900a is on 5.0 and I've seen nothing but bad news on these forums...

It really isn't that difficult http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=59666958&postcount=2
You can root 5.0, but it has to be either a pre-rooted 5.0 Rom or you have to downgrade to Kitkat, then root and install 5.0. But you can't root if your already on 5.0.

Correct, but what do those of us who are on 5.0 OC2 do to downgrade?

There is no root meethod for the AT&T bootloader therefore no root. If you had used the search you would have found dozens of other people asking the same thing.
If anyone discovers a method how to root that phone you can be sure it will be published here and everybody will now. For now all I can refer you to is my thread on how to update the phone to the latest Marshmellow update (but that might prevent you from installing any root that is based on Lollipop in the future).

EDIT: Actually there is a root method https://forum.xda-developers.com/at...w-to-update-to-g870aof2-5-0-keeproot-t3161733 for very old firmware versions. Still there are no custom roms that I know of.

Thanks a lot for reply, after a looooong search I have found this: http://www.droidviews.com/update-att-galaxy-s5-active-to-lollipop-root-it-and-enable-wifi-tethering/
So, I do that and now, I'm in Android 5.0, with baseband G870AUCU2BOF3 and happily rooted. But I have a question, Can I update to Marshmallow following your thread?
Thanks a lot again.

You can but you will lose root. There is currently no root method for Marshmallow.

Hello.
I was just wondering how exactly you did this? You downgraded to 5.0, and rooted from there? Can you explain to me what you did to root the G870A?

Custom recovety G920A UCU3CPD6

Hi, I have a Samsung G920A UCU3CPD6, can you help me find a custom recovery for my version or advise which firmware to install to me so that I can put the recovery.
P.S.Sorry for my english, I do not speak english

We can't unlock the bootloader, so we can't install custom recoveries.

My G920A has Baseband Version G920AUCS6EQH1.
On September 7th, SRS Root tweeted that they can now root the G920AUCS6EQH1.
https://twitter.com/srsroot/status/905924080762847234
I'm a novice when it comes to rooting, so I'm asking, "Does SRS Root's announcement mean that they've found a way to unlock the bootloader for the G920A if it has the G920AUCS6EQH1 Baseband Version?"

Root sm-n920a

Does it exist a way to ROOT a Samsung Galaxy Note 5 SM-N920A AT&T? I really want to root because i want to remove all those pre-installed apps. I have ANDROID 7.0

Still No Luck
Nah bro....i also search everyday if there is root or not...but bootloader is locked and thats why no one able to root note 5 at&t also....u updated to 7.0 manually by ODIN or u received OTA updates ?

There are ways to root the N920A. Just not on the newest v5 bootloader. I'd love some help testing the v4 Bootloader.

Would you try to explain me?

The combination firmware for your bootloader version can be rooted.

Unlock bootloader

How do I unlock the bootloader of my Huawei mate 9 ?

Did you get the key before July 24? If not.... you can't. Not without paying some third party that might or might not work. (eg. Funky Huawei )

This worked for me. But you have to pay 4€.

It does work but first you need to downgrade your phone to nougat (Android 7.x) first and then it will work.

so if phone is on latest firmware i can downgrade it and bootloader unlock works?

No, but there's a chance that the tools you buy access to might be able to extract that unlock code...no guarantee...no refunds...

EDIT seller says its 4.4.23+ EMUI/Android Version: 8.0 is that the unlockable one or is there more to the version that says it?

You need the build number and security patch date.
Pretty much all EMUI 8 builds on the Mate 9 run a 4.4.23+ kernel, even up through the latest security patches.
Once you know the build number, find it in Firmware Finder, and find the build for that region that enables GPU Turbo. If it's an older build, then it's likely that you could use the official rollback firmware to get the bootloader unlocked.

here ya go that is pic he provided

Yup, .375 is the latest one that's good, after that .377 had GPU Turbo and issues with downgrading.

so im good to downgrade? i will message you when i get the phone in a few days thanks

You won't get into the trouble that others did with .377 or later, yes.
But there's no guarantee everything works nicely.
Do read as much as possible before doing anything.
Also keep in mind that Android 9 is coming soon so maybe you don't need to unlock and whatnot.
