There are a few questions here about my gs5 and note8.0, sorry for the long post, I rarely post but need a little guidance. Sorry if this post isnt exactly up to the standards of the rules, I also tried the search feature but didnt have any luck. I have spent countless hours reading threads. Ihave successfully rooted every, all 10, of the android devices I have owned which includes two tablets. SO TO ALL WHO POST INSTRUCTIONS HERE, THANK YOU.
I rooted my gs5 with towelroot pretty much immediately when it was released. I havent had any real issues, other than the phone freezing on rare occasion, and web pages get stuck loading about 1/2 to 3/4 of the way finished, when this happens I usually toggle the apn on and off and then the page will load. This happens kind of often, I attribute it to some bug in the stock TW rom. Of course im still hoping for a way to unlock the bootloader.
I get a notified of samsung security updates here and there, I have never updated that since I rooted, I assume that updating samsung security would most likely take away my root access.
I have a note 8.0 wifi tablet also and it is rooted, I had to root with odin on the tab, towelroot didnt work. I also get secuirty update notifications on my note 8 which I also ignore.
Will samsung security updates block root>
Will the new ATT gs5 update that was released this week block towelroot? I can easily unroot and update ota then try to re root with towelroot apk, I am worried that towelroot will not work anymore if I do that.
Anyone know if the att update blocks root, and is it even worth worrying about trying to download?
My note 8 is rooted via odin, but it still has stock recovery, how do I get twrp or clockworkmod? I am pretty sure there is not a locked bootloader on this wifi tab, but I do want custom recovery.
So any help with installing clockworkmod recovery on the note 8, I know the CWM app allows you to install cwm recovery but I have only done it once and forgot to check to see if the BL was locked, well it was and It was a pain to unbrick that device.
Hiya all! I was hoping i could get some advice on your recommended method for rootng my new S5. I havent done a root since i bought my s4 over a year ago, so i wanna get up to speed on current rooting. I already tried the Towelroot and it doesnt work on my phone. Im guessing my phone came preloaded with the update that breaks towelroot. I tried the tricks with changing the number values in Towel by tapping the screen 3 times , but none of them worked, they all say my phone isnt compatible. So id like to know a few things. A: which root method do you wonderful XDA peeps recommend i use? and B: what would u recommend i do to remove all the annoying bloatware and such? Its been a while for me, so i didnt wanna rush headlong into this without getting a professional opinion first. Perhaps theres a good custom Rom i could flash?
Thanks!

Samsung unlock Bootloader on SM-870A.
Thanks ! That was a breeze! phone has been successfully rooted! Any recommendations on what to use to remove all the bloatware and crap? Im considering trying a custom rom sometime, but for now i at least wanna clean this up and get it running better with more storage space!
Hi all, so I'm looking to root my new Galaxy S6 from AT&T. My current version is 5.0.2, but the kernel was built after May 15th, so the Ping Pong method is not supposed to work. My question is, will the CF-auto root method work, and if so which files should I download. A bit new to Samsung phones, thanks I have attached my info here.
When did you get the device? The OF3 firmware update, which you have, pushed out only a couple days ago.
I haven't been following the CF auto root thread closely, but I don't believe it will currently work on ATT due to the locked bootloader. I may be wrong though as things may have changed over the past couple months. You will very likely trip knox if it does work though.
As far as i know you can not root it for now. You gotta wait some more time i guess

Last time i ever rooted a galaxy phone it was a galaxy s3. I upgraded to a galaxy note 3 awhile after and there was no good root out there, so i decided to wait and its been about 2 years now. I see plenty of info and roots just searching but id rather be safe than sorry. So i have an Unlocked At&t Samsung Galaxy Note 3 (I use cricket as service provider), SAMSUNG-SM-N900A, 5.0 Lolipop, Kernel v 3.4.0-4335446, KNOX 2.3. Can anyone point me into the right direction to all the stuff i need to do this as not to mess up so i dont just go doing it myself and f-ing everything up because whatever i read is from along time ago and not current as id like or anything? Id rather not have to do any downgrading or anything else id rather just be able to download needed files, plug-in, run software, root device and abrakadabra if possible. Thanks everyone!

Hello, I have successfully applied extreme syndicate root to my note9, but when I wanted to register for Samsung Pay, I always got stuck at the login screen, also I'm not able to use secure folders. Does anyone have the same problems, or does anyone managed to get them working? Thanks.

With root you lose Samsung Pay and Secure Folder, there is no way you can get them back.. Even if you remove Root and Flash normal firmware Samsung Pay and Secure folder will never ever work!
When you rooted your Note 9, you have blown the Knox Efuse on the motherboard!
True for exynos models, once knox is tripped and they are gone. There is a work around for secure folder and for Samsung pay you'll need a Samsung gear watch.
For snapdragons (seems the OP has one since he is using Extreme Syndicate Root.) He should be okay flashing back the stock firmware. (Or things changed from note 8 to note 9 root?) The knox doesn't get tripped as it seems on exynos models.
Do a search on secure folder you should find a thread on it (maybe on the note 8 forums of xda but it should work for all phones.)
Samsung pay is gone when rooted hopefully the gear watch method still works. Don't have a gear watch then no go on rooted phones! But at least you can return to stock on snapdragons phones and have Spay working.
