Is it true that because I have LTE from Verizon on my S2 T817V tablet that I cannot root it just like on smartphones? I tried Towelroot and CF-Autoroot and both failed.
UPDATE:
Anyone? I asked a salesperson at a Verizon store and he thought there is a way around it, but from what I know about locked bootloaders, Verizon does lock their bootloaders - for sure on their smartphones - but I'm wondering if their is a way on their tablets. Would appreciate someone's sharing their knowledge. Thanks.
UPDATE 2: How about this... Am I headed for disaster if I install a Sprint CF-Autoroot on my Verizon S2 tablet?
UPDATE 3: I didn't see the "no questions" sticky until now. Anyway, I tried rooting with KingRoot and it failed so I give up. Over and out.

I've searched high and low for a root for my new galaxy note 3. I've seen somethings say the las vegas one or whatever but it couldn't be done on 4.4.2 kitkat. I've seen something about kingo. Which is the best method to root and unlock my boot loader so that i can flash roms.
Samsung galaxy note 3
Android version 4.4.2 kitkat

Thank you in advance for your help! :good::laugh:
No rooting yet and there hasn't been unlocked bootloaders on the AT&T Note 3 yet.

really???? bummer
A root method for 4.4.2 will be found eventually, so try to tough it out until its found. Not having root sucks, but it will hopefully come soon. An unlocked bootloader will most likely never happen unless someone holds the CEO of AT&T hostage (any volunteers?), so no custom kernels or AOSP for us unless someone gets Loki working.

I'm glad your that positive that a root method for 4.4.2 will be found, however (not to be a negative nelly) KK has some security features that Google has added, that would make it even harder to achieve root. That, with the added AT&T "updated" locked bootloader, would make it almost impossible to obtain root. Then, adding salt to the wound, the new S5 has just been released, so every DEV that's worth their salt would want to hop on the new tech bandwagon and tackle something new.
I personally don't care about root. I never rooted my Note 3 until the OTA update, which kept getting stuck at 27%. I followed the instructions to obtain root, installed the OTA update, but FORGOT TO UNROOT my phone!!! That stupid SU app is in the way, and I can't uninstall it! When it comes time for me to upgrade my Note3 to a Note4, anyone can simply look in my app draw and see SU app. Even ISIS wont work because it thinks my phone is rooted. I want to simply root my phone, delete that SU app, and un-root. It's that simple. If I can do this using ADB, i'll try it in a heartbeat.
awe that sucks..hopefully someone comes up with some thing soon. Thanks for your replies. When they do come up with a root method would we still be able to flash roms being that our bootloader is locked?

At this time there is no way to root KitKat, period, either with De La Vega, or Kingo. In addition, the bootloaders are totally locked down. There currently is a petition here, to see if we can get AT&T to unlock them

Search through the forum, there is a way to flash custom ROMS, just not in the typical way

It still doesn't hurt to look up. The S5 is locked down tight just like the Note 3 so I don't see why devs would dump the Note 3 just to work on another locked device. The Note 3 is still relatively new and pretty popular so I doubt it's going to be given up on just yet.
I've done quite a bit of digging and it seems that this variant is not supported by any root method. TWRP doesn't support it, and no one click root supports it, so I am kinda at a dead end here. Thanks for the help in advance.
EDIT: I am running on 6.0.1 by the way.
I've been searching since I got the phone at release. Everything that claims to root the g928a has been a scam/virus. Its pretty much a dead end phone for rooting. I'll be buying an unlocked phone or an iphone when my contract is up! Definitely won't be buying another samsung phone
Greetings. Does anyone know of root g928a 6.0.1?
I have Samsung Galaxy Note 3 SM-N900A version 5.0 and I’ve been trying to root it for awhile now. No luck at all and I’m fairly new to all of this stuff. From what I’ve gathered, it isn’t possible to root it since the boot loader is locked. However, if we can downgrade it, it would be. This is where I would need help step-by-step. I’d prefer that someone could live chat with me or call just to make sure I get every step right and if I have questions, I could get them right away to ensure I get everything done right. Thanks!

Dr. FONE doesn’t work. I think it has to do with my bootloader and I need to downgrade mine to 4.4.2 KitKat version.
The first line of the thread says:
"You can now root your AT&T Note 3 running stock Lollipop (OC1) in less than ten minutes (it rooted mine in six)
With just a few clicks this method will root and also install the real SuperSu on your Note 3."
OC1 ROM is Lollipop which is 5.0.
I've been running CM then LineageOS on my SM-900T for years so when it bit the dust, I was surprised to learn that the Galaxy S5 is still the right phone for me. I picked up a Galaxy S5 Active as it seemed like an upgrade, but did not expect to run into AT&T shenanigans preventing me from flashing TWRP so I could install LineageOS!
I've had no luck flashing TWRP through Heimdall nor Odin: Auth Failures. Towelroot doesn't work; CF Auto-Root won't flash. Downgrading to NE4 via Odin is also a no-go. I'm happy to share details if it's possible that I've done something wrong there. Are there any methods / exploits that may work that I've missed?
I'm an experienced software engineer with some hacking under my belt so I'm willing to put in some work if there's a viable path to me rooting a ruggedized version of my favorite phone. Should I cut my losses and stick with more friendly hardware or is there a way forward here?
Either way, thanks to everyone on here for being such valuable resources on this stuff!
No luck then?
I'm just getting started modifying my stock SM-870A running 4.4.2 (kitkat?).
It's a bit confusing sorting out what is and isn't possible with this phone.
No luck. I don't have much hope unless there's an exploit out there that I missed.
As far as I can tell, I'm locked out of the bootloader until there's something new out there.
I have that phone.
Mobilego wondershare rooted it.
Bootloader is totally locked, but you can safestrap it.
Could you possibly link to a guide? , I'm pretty new

Hey yall,
So I have a Galaxy Note 8 and of course it is SM-N950U VZW running Android Pie, and BL is N950USQS8DTJ1. Now all the crap I've dug through to research the process to root it I haven't found any way to do so. Now I'm curious as to wether it can be done considering Snapdragon wont allow the bootloader to be unlocked? Now I have read one forum that claims that we can now unlock the bootloader on Snapdragon but all i could seem to find was a bunch of bickering back and forth. Is it possible to do so now or is it just a fancy ruse? If someone can point me to the right path i would appreciate it. Please keep in mind that i am somewhat familiar with the process of rooting but I'm a better tech than I am on the software side so please be specific about your answer and forgive me for my lack of knowledge. I'm self taught over a couple years now so it's been a try and learn process. I'm also curious as to if cwm or twrp can be installed and used on it as well.

Exact same scenario... I see some ROOT possibilities with S7 bootloader, but appears ours is S8, so is ROOT possible with this BL version?

Trying to use root method from Extreme Syndicate, in particular, XDA RD elliwigy, even though it says for BL S7 and I have S8. Not getting far... ODIN3 tool hangs in flash process... not sure this will work, but continuing to hack at it...

Did successfully root Note 8 with S8 and loaded Nougat. ODIN3 wasn't working, but after reading thru the thread, I used a different cable, directly into a USB port on the PC (was on a hub), then ODIN3 worked fine. Will live with the 80% battery issue for now. May buy a OnePlus 7T evidently best (easiest?) phone to root? The Note 8 is not my primary phone and was a phone I had laying around so it'll do for now. Thanks to this forum for providing a solution albeit not ideal. Like these small victories.
Does this work for N950USQS8DTJ1?

Yes, that is the same version of mine... works but with caveats... for one, I couldn't get Life360 to work after rooting... Tried all versions, including old ones for Nougat, no worky. Some apps don't work, some are quirky, however, only affects few apps here and there. Overall, everything works just like on stock OS. And very thankful it is an available option for root. The biggest thing for me is the battery bug, max charge of 80% just doesn't cut it, doesn't last all day, so I'm forced to carry a portable charger, and it's only going to get worse over time. This alone is going to force me to get another phone, maybe a OnePlus 7T, I see those are supposedly easiest to root. But this root does work for yours (and my) version of Note 8!
