rooting OTA phone

what is the proper way to root an OTA lollipop note 4. I am hearing it might brick your phone when you use this method http://forum.xda-developers.com/not...sy-steps-stock-odin-n910tuvu1anih-cf-t2903733. What about this one from Jovy http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=56226823&postcount=2 maybe there is a better one. thanks

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

Go there and download the version I posted of TEKXodus. I changed a few things in the script

when you flash the rom, do you have to be on stock kernel? I am on beast mode kernel right know. Also is super su on the rom file in your post? Thanks in advance

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.

No worries. Just trying to help and give back to a forum and community that has given me so much.

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

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!!!

SM-G920A 6.0.1 root?

I've not had much time lately to do proper research or trial-and-error on this topic (especially since this is for a friend). I was wondering if it is at all possible to root the SM-G920A on 6.0.1 G920AUCU3PD6? I've checked out the other threads and they are all about updating or there's that one about flashing the Verizon stock. But nothing about just achieving root on this update.
Thanks in advance if I don't get back to the replies quickly!

Not yet to my knowledge.

Dang, lol I'm in the same situation, if you used odin all you would have to do is find the tar file :/

if the tethered root can be ported to 6.0.1 we might have something

There's nothing to port. We need an engineering kernel to leak as it did for Lollipop.

Help determining which nougat/marshmallow ROM to user for model SAMSUNG-SM-G900A

I'm trying to upgrade my buddie's phone here. Not very familiar with the s5 community and what's available..
Can this phone be rooted, TWRP'd, and flashed to nougat or marshmallow officially or otherwise?
Please help, any advice is appreciated.. Thanks

Depends on what version of android you have now if it can be rooted. If you have lollipop or marshmallow, then no, there is no root. Marshmallow is available via ota update.

Also, is root even needed for flashing custom ROMs?

Those instructions are for KitKat, it was patched in Lollipop.
Give me the baseband version of your phone (in settings, looks something like G900AUCU4BOF3)

As of now all you can try is Kingroot, which may or may not work (haven't tested it). Let's see if we can get as far as root and then we'll go into ROMing

OK kingroot didn't work.. got the "not adaptable" message..
Looks like I'll try to get the official marshmallow update by downloading it and flashing it from my pc..

NO DON'T!! YOU WILL BLOW A QFUSE AND THE PHONE WILL NEVER EVER BE ROOTABLE!
Your best bet is to wait for an iovyroot build and try that

Well my buddy will accept leaving his phone on official lollipop, but would at least like all the att apps removed...
Can I uninstall these apps rather than disable them? No root = no titanium backup [emoji52]
