I've just rooted my handset running KingRoot for Windows and it worked just fine. You only need to download it from the official site. Install it, run it, plug your phone to an USB port and click on "Root". Make sure to be connected to internet and enable USB Debug. Tested with ES File Explorer.
I tried with the apk several times before and it didn't worked, but this way worked at the first try.
Have a good one.
Could you clarify which version of Kingroot do you mean ? Thank you
Can you also give is the link, for kingroot?
Thanks
https://kingroot.net/ Download both the app and Windows program. 1st run the Windows prog (after enabling USB-debug) then install the app. I have the single SIM version (L21C432B551).
Didn't work for me. I have double SIM (L21C432B550) Does the bootloader have to be unlocked ?
dont work for me either on L21C432B551 , i wish i did not updated to that stupid MM
Also worked for B190
Before when I was on Lollipop it worked. Now on MM it doesn't.
On the C432B551 version it does not work
if it works properly in B551 MM.
Ale21 Mrsmllw 6.0
ALE-L21C432B551 SingleSim
Marshmallow 6.0
Rooting does not finish
I'm sorry for haven't replied before but I had a pretty rough weekend xD.
After updating to MM, I installed the KingRoot APK which worked on Lollipop but it couldn't root the phone with MM. I kept the app installed and a few days ago it showed a message telling that it is probably that a new way to root the phone using KingRoot for desktop it is available and requesting to do so. I downloaded the app for windows from kingroot.net and ran the installer. I'm not sure what exactly the buttons said because it was on Chinese but just looking for a sign like ">" you should be able to complete the setup. After that, started the application and it asked to plug the phone. (Again, it was on Chinese but if you look a drawing of a phone and an usb cable on it it is pretty sure that you need to plug the phone to your PC), The think is that after pluging the handset, there is a green button with the word "ROOT", I've clicked on that button and after a couple of minutes the phone got rooted. It wasn't even necessary to reboot the device to complete the process (I rebooted anyway just in case.). That was the whole procedure.
Oh and yes, my phone has the bootloader unlocked. Anyway, using kingroot on Lollipop, bootloader wasn't locked and Kingroot worked fine too, I can't tell if it is needed to be unlocked, but it worked for me this way.
This didn't work for me. I tried as indicated in upper post. After running the program it showed that the phone was not rooted. Then i checked with root checker and it showed that the phone is rooted but busybox not installed. So i rebooted the phone with the intention to install busybox - and the root was gone. So i am back to square one. Oh well...

Well this did not work for me. I have the same model phone and firmware. I ran Kingroot for windows (ver. 3.2) and after finishing the process it said that it did not succeed in rooting. So I checked with Root checker and this showed that the phone IS rooted only busybox is not installed. So I rebooted the phone with intention to install busybox. This time the root was gone so the phone is back to square one. Oh well .....

Got my note 3 last night, came from HTC One M7. As with everything I went straight to root and rom install, maybe too hastily. Should have read instructions better.
Phone is on 4.3. Last night I was on Baseband version N900AUCBMJ5...I had it rooted and safestrap installed with no issue. Hadn't installed a rom yet, was going to do that today.
This morning, after my alarm woke me up, my phone rebooted and said was updating Android...NOW the phone is on baseband version N900AUCUBNB4, not rooted, and completely stock.
SuperSU is still installed, but doesn't work. SafeStrap is installed but it says Stats: Not Rooted.
When I reboot it still has the padlock that says "Custom" at the bottom of the boot screen.
What did I did to my phone?! How do I fix it? Is there a way to go back to MJ5 or should I? Where do I root from here and how do I install 4.4 and a custom rom?
You got the "pre kit Kat" update. You can obtain root again by using an older version of kingo. Check out the thread on how to root nb4. Once you have root access again freeze "at&t software update" so you won't automatically update again. If you update to stock kit Kat you won't be able to gain root access at this time.

How do I freeze the AT&T software update?
So after I reroot the phone and install the SafeStrap recovery, I can boot into that recovery. Then create a new rom slot and install a new rom correct? Like PureROM CE (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2716737) and I should be good to go correct?
Why does it say it's not rooted but yet the padlock is still there?
There's apps you can download to freeze like titanium backup, android tuner...etc. Some cost money, some don't. The free ones aren't the best but somewhat work. I highly recommend titanium backup.
Yes after you root you can safestrap and be good to go!
You see the padlock symbol because the rom isn't fully stock. It's customized. The update removed your root access but not fully. Traces of superuser were left behind. You must of previously used triangle away, or an xposed module to "fake system status". Once root was removed these apps no longer work so your padlock is back.

I hadn't used xposed yet to fake the system status. Should I? Does it really matter?

Don't feel like an idiot. It's like you said. The at&t note 3 is a different animal. At&t has locked our bootloader and totally locked us out from modifying our device. It seems like at&t comes out with a new "you're screwed" surprise for us every update. This will be the last branded phone I buy from at&t. Boycotting is the only power we have over them.
Hi...
So I rooted my Note 4 and installed custom recovery TWRP. Before I did, I postponed an update (OTA) for the phone to 1 AM PST.
After rooting...the Notifications still show
"T-mobile Update Service" with that rectangular icon... and underneath says "Update Postponed"
Now...I thought installing TWRP should BLOCK OTA automatically...is something going ot go horribly wrong at 1 AM PST and will it try to install Lollipop on my Note 4 anyways?
Please help!!

From that thread
I am on the NJ7 and can confirm any update check comes back with the "custom software, no updates for you" message.
Does it apply to ANK4? Unlike that poster - update check works for me...and it works a little too good and provides what is in each log.
Maybe it's because you rooted in a funny way?
Are you saying that rooting via the SuperSU UPDATE .zip and recovery is "funny?" I don't understand what's so funny about it. It's another method that isn't revolved around some auto-flash option.
It's still why you're getting ota's
---------- Post added at 02:18 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:17 AM ----------
How'd you do it anyway? Abd?
What does CFAuto Root do differently that "blocks" OTAs? Just wondering what logical reasoning this is based on
I flashed TWRP with Odin - then I used UPDATE SUPERSU v2.6 .zip and installed via recovery. That was it. Launched SuperSU and it worked.
It looks more like you rooted the phone.
Custom binary, etc.
Are you sure you're rooted?
You can use rooted apps, etc.?
Did you trip Knox?
---------- Post added at 02:26 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:25 AM ----------
Ota's won't go to rooted phones.
Yes. I am rooted. Is the method I did archaic or something? lol. I have SuperSU. I granted several apps root access - I have TWRP installed -and I used RootChecker and granted it access and it confirmed I have root as well.
Tripped knox...more than likely..not sure how to check
I rooted AFTER I got update notifications of TWO updates...perhaps a fluke?
Thank you for all your help )
It's fun talking with somebody with phone skills.
Just never saw anybody skip the cf-autoroot step.
Me.
I don't get the update notifications cause I'm lost in rom land.
You could probably kill the update process with titanium.
I'm just glad I'm finally getting some answers. I've been rooting across very different types of phones for a while, but each new release has its own weird...little grouped up programs and auto stuff. I tend to avoid all auto-solutions and opt for manual as possible.
what do you think about my deal with OTA? I didn't actually check for updates...its the same updates before root that are being notified to me
This search may help
http://www.google.com/search?site=&......1c..64.mobile-gws-hp..0.1.54.3.ehLqx9i8kTc
I've never run stock rooted for more than a day.
But, I know people stop the update nagging thing.
I uninstalled fotaclient.apk (one of the update's names) - along with the other update (incsyncmdl or something) and lastly FWUpgrade.apk.
I backed up Incsync and FWUpgrade..but not fotaclient. Say for purposes - i actually want to update or restore that...how would I find FOTAClient.apk again?
I guess it's no biggy..just breaks the in-phone updater...but still allows me to flash like normal unrooted stock roms in the future via Odin anyways
How are you uninstalling?
With titanium you can just freeze and then unthaw later.
But, you can always pull the apks out of one of the stockish roms in the Android development section.
I don't see the .apks in the Stock ANK4 rom. just recovery.img, boot.img and some unopenable .bin files...

Hey guys,
Recently, I have been trying to re-root my LG G2 VS980 that was returned to lollipop stock (LG Firmware). However, all the tools I knew that previously worked, (Ioroot, Towelroot, Stumproot, Kingoroot, etc..) did not work. After months of testing, I finally found one app that currently works called KingRoot.
As far as I know, it is the only root method that acutally still works after LG patched most of the exploits so I thought I would share the info with you guys in case some of you are still interested in rooting your G2.
Instructions:
1. Install Kingroot: http://kingroot.net/ (the APK doesn't work for the G2)
2. Go to settings in your phone and click the build number 7-10 times to enable Developer Options
3. Go to Developer Options and enable USB Debugging
4. plug the phone into your computer and launch the program. Make sure you see the USB Debugging card that will pop up on your phone.
Launch the program and allow the program to root your phone.
Sidenote: The only downside to the app is it is all in Korean but it is very easy to tell what it is asking due to excellent pictures
After you receive root, download the app RootChecker just to make sure.
To Install TWRP:
1. Instructions: Go to Play Store and type in the search window, "AUTOREC".
2. Select the correct variant: ex. VS980=Verizon etc...
3. Install the app.
4. Watch TWRP Install on your phone.
5. Reward yourself on your hard work with a pat on the back.
So that's it; A fast easy, and trouble free method on getting root and installing TWRP
Thanks for this. I recently acquired a G2, and will be trying this out tonight.

No problem. Have fun with your custom ROM of choice.
Can you share the setup files? I also need to re-root my Verizon phone. The kingroot ownload links looks dead
i downlaoded it from here. I have usb dev enabled. now what? http://kingroot-pc.en.uptodown.com/download
Stuck on that step. I know its telling me to enable USB debuggin which I have, it doens' do anythong when I click Go in Korean
I managed to enable debugging mode which was by setting the 'USB Type" on the phone to "Internet -> Ethernet"
But Kingroot isn't managing to root the phone. It goes 100 percent and nothing.
Ioroot managed to get the phone into the reboot phase but the phone no longer processed the splash screen of the recover/bootloader. The splash screen which has the android mascot on its back with abdomen open.
"LG G2 One lick Tool" makes the phone go to "download mode" but its stuck at 0 percent. I disconnect and replug in hope of kickstarting it, doesn't work.
What can I do now?

No idea. I was on a downgraded stock ROM, VS980_27A or was it VS980_24A. Can't remember; 4.4.2
Whatever it was, none of the popular rooting method was working. They were managing to do 'semi root' as in root message was displayed in "hard reset mode" and in 'download mode' but there was no root when the OS fully booted. The 'stock recovery' was also corrupted as in it showed a dead android with red exclamation mark. From the searching I did, people were saying there was no recovery installed so I needed one but I could not install. No stock recovery means no 'adb'.
Stump root gave 'complete' root. I hope you understand what I'm trying to say.
Will this work if I am on the 39aa update from Verizon? I am skeptical about this because this is my only phone and don't need to mess it up.

I don't think I've seen a way to root 39aa as of yet. One of our developers was asking about it as well, if you do find a way, please @ me so I can hook him up

I tried and failed at it. I am downgrading to VS98039A_05 and going from there. it seems VS9803AA was meant to patch root and also SF security patches.

Hello all. First time posting on the forum. I've looked up on how to root the Moto x 2nd gen, but most I find is for the xt1095. I've read some information on how to unlock the bootloader for the xt1097 (I'm on AT&T). But it all just seems so confusing. I can't seem to find a source that has all the information I need all in one. I've found info from different sources but I don't wanna mess anything up by miss connecting the dots. If anyone has had success or knowledge on how to root this type of phone, I'd be very grateful! Thank you!

Hey, welcome to our forum.
You can use Kingroot (a one click root app) to root your at&t xt1097.
Then, if you want to unlock the bootloader, you can do it ONLY with sunshine app (an app that unlocks the bootloader, simple either), but in order to use sunshine app you need to pay for license or something like that, about 20-25$.
Sunshine works only if you have root, so you have to use kingroot.
Kingroot will not always work, but it should. Use it until it works, many reported it took them more than once.
That happens because you don't have offical bootloader unlock.
Have fun

Hey thank you for the information!! On the kingroot it said my phone was rooted, but then once I tried to do sunshine app, it said my phone was not rooted so I couldn't do that. Any idea why that is? Also, is kingroot and sunshine app the only thing I have to do? Or is after the bootloader unlocked there's other steps I must take to root the phone?
Was finally able to get kingroot to work and sunshine to unlock the bootloader after I did a factory reset. Now I'm confused as whats next. I read something about twrp and flashing logo?
I'm not trying to unlock the bootloader, only root the phone. KingRoot says "root successful," I download supersu, and it says my root binary (or something) isn't installed. However, SuperSu isn't able to install the binary for me.
An even worse problem: after KingRoot says "root successful" I check RootChecker, and it tells me I am NOT rooted. Also, every time I reboot, KingRoot claims I am not rooted. This makes me think that KingRoot incorrectly thinks it's rooted my phone. Because no other app seems to think I'm rooted, and when I reboot not even KingRoot thinks I'm rooted.
Finally, many of the KingRoot tutorials (as well as the app itself) say that KingRoot will likely reboot your phone a few times before it roots, and that after it roots it your phone will reboot. However, KingRoot has never rebooted my phone ONCE. This also adds evidence to my hypothesis that KingRoot incorrectly thinks it's rooting me. When I run KingRoot, it tells me not to be afraid if my phone reboots; well I am afraid because my phone is NOT rebooting.

Vegerot,
KingRoot accomplishes what's called a temp root (temporary root). After you reboot your phone, the temp root files will be deleted and you will not have root anymore. Also, installing a SuperSu binary will not work with a temp root. If you want to perm root your phone (permanent root), you will need to use KingRoot to root your phone (may take a couple of tries) and then you will need to use Sunshine to unlock your bootloader. After it is unlocked, you can flash a custom recovery and install the SuperSu binary.
Secondly, I've had that problem before. I would recommend using the PC version first, (which is in Chinese, but is easy to figure out) which will attempt the root, and if that doesn't work, use the phone version right after using the computer one. As I mentioned before, KingRoot is a temporary root that goes away after a reboot.
Lastly, usually reboots are not a measure of success. When I rooted, I did not reboot that often, so you should not be worried. If you think that something is not working, again, use the PC version; it seems to have a better success rate.
Contact me if you need any help.

After I unlocked my bootloader, I first flashed TWRP through the bootloader. I then did a full backup and installed a ROM. Flashing a LOGO is optional as it only changes the logos before the actual boot animation.
Contact me if you need any help with flashing or anything else.
After unlocking the bootloader, I'm having trouble installing Marshmallow. I tried following this tutorial but it hasn't helped either. This is my problem with that tutorial:
"When I run "fastboot flash system..." I'm stuck on "waiting for devices." Also, "fastboot devices" returns nothing. However, adb devices returns my phone.
Also, instead of system.img, the download link you provided gave me boot.img (along with a META-INF and system folder).
When entering TWRP, why must we go through that bootloader interface? I just do "adb reboot recovery" and that also opens TWRP.
Since fastboot isn't working, is there a way to do it through the TWRP GUI? Such as copying the file to my phone and then doing something with that?
Something strange happened. I decided to download the Marshmallow .zip on my phone, then booted into recovery and went to Install, and selected that file. I thought I would get an error (I'm trying to flash my phone from a file stored on my phone (therefor deleting itself)), but I didn't. I rebooted and all my apps were still there from before and my background, but the settings app says I'm running Android 6.0. What exactly happened?
There are some unexpected things happening though. For examples, I cannot swipe down with 2 fingers to access my quick settings In addition, the home button will not take me back to my app launcher (I have to tap the multitasking button THEN tap the home button to return to the launcher). When I look at my notifications, it still says "AT&T" at the bottom. Is that supposed to happen? This doesn't feel right and I would like to use the method you recommended in the article, but for now this is the only thing that will work.

Como ser root

Hey everyone. I just got a Note 3 n900a after having been with Windows phone for about two years now, and I'm having some real trouble rooting it. I realize it's an older phone, so it seems most development has kind of slowed for the phone. But I'm hoping someone might have some advice here to help me get this thing rooted, so I can install a custom ROM on here. The stock one is bugging the hell out of me.
So here's what I've done. I tried rooting it with an Odin tool and Root de la Vega. When trying to actually run the tool, it detects the phone in download mode and everything, starts, then fails. Doesn't want to go any further. I can't remember the specific error it gave. So I tried the Towelroot method, which is supposedly the best way to do it. Towelroot runs and says it's successful. Root checker says otherwise. I even went ahead and factory reset the phone, kept absolutely everything at default, tried again, and it doesn't work.
I'm stumped. My model number is SAMSUNG-SM-N900A, my android version is 4.4.2, baseband is N900AUCUCNC2, build number is N900A-AAR-CONVERSA-SHOY.2015.08.24.1105, and security version is MDF v1.0 Release 2. Can anyone help me? Thanks in advance!
This might help with rooted LP on the n900a: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2703006
There is not much development for the n900a because the bootloader is locked which means the phone can't run TWRP or custom ROMs unless the ROM can be installed via safestrap and is based on a stock Samsung ROM.

The de la Vega root method doesn't work anymore. If you are on NC2 you can use towelroot.

Oops, I misread your post. I don't know why towelroot isn't working it worked just fine for me.

I would recommend factory resetting your phone and then reflashing stock NC2 and try rooting with towelroot again. Don't mess with any settings after you flash. Go straight to towelroot

Also run an hash check on your downloaded firmware if possible to ensure it isn't corrupted. And make sure you are using a REAL Samsung cable to flash. People think it's B.S. but it isnt. I have HARD BRICKED PHONES using cheap gas station cords.
The firmware I used to root was N900AUCUCNC2_N900AATTCNC2_N900AUCUCNC2_HOME.tar.md5. It is 2,275,231 KB in size. Make sure yours matches
