Hello! I bought a new Galaxy Note 3 N900A yesterday and I've rooted all of my Samsung phones before, but I'm getting mixed messages on the internet and the forums that it can't be rooted. Can it be rooted?

Try kingo root if you're on kitkat or earlier.

Kingo doesn't work on KitKat. It only works on Jellybean.
If you're on 4.4.2 you can root with Towelroot (search on Google and you'll find the apk). If you're on 4.4.4 there are threads the AT&T Note 3 general section about how to root that.

You're absolutely right. I rooted using Kingo on 4.3. I rememeber towelroot not working for me though on 4.4 on the n900 but give it a whirl.

When I was digging around the internet getting confused about rooting this device, I saw people were having issues with KNOX? Do I need to worry about that if I root with Towelroot?

What exactly does it mean to trip Knox? Does it cause any problems in the future with updating the firmware, etc...?

No. Just means you void your warranty with Samsung.

Also there was talk that Samsung Pay might not work in the future. No way to tell until it comes out
That is the only reason I'm not rooting yet.
I really want to use Samsung pay

I have used iroot on other phones. Never tried it on s6 but im pretty sure it would work. Just install the app. You might have to go to a chinese sight with no english but just dowload it. The app has english so your good. It install its own su app which works well. Open the app and follow the instruction they are easy the app does qll the work.

You might want to tell everybody in the op that as of right now flashing a custom recovery will trip knox.
So quick question guys:
If I root the S6 with the new tool, it won't trip Knox?
Once its rooted, would I be able to replace the lock screen with the one from stock android and replace the dialer with the google dialer? I love stock experience but I wanted a premium device so I went with the S6.
Thanks.

Unrooting.
Is it possible to unroot at some point after using this method? Lets say I need to use my warranty for the phone. Is unrooting possible?

No.. Your warranty is gone forever.
Why do people keep asking this silly question, you root your phone you kiss your warranty goodbye.

You shouldn't answer unless you're sure. This root method can be reversed by used ODIN to completely go back to stock.
Install kingroot apk and then root with pingpong root. Kingroot will give you access go get em kiddos!

Does anyone have a link to root for the T-Mobile LG Leon 5.1.1? I see links pointing to KingRoot but alot of people are saying it doesn't work for 5.1.1......I see custom ROMs listed so I know root is available, I just can't find a clear answer or link to a working root...again, T-Mobile LG Leon 5.1.1, NOT MetroPCS....everyone keeps pointing me to the MetroPCS version and I don't wanna make the wrong attempt and brick the phone because it is not mine.
thanks.

What I'm saying is use pingpong root to root the phone. Then have kingroot installed because it will pop-up when an app requests root for you to approve.

Never mind what I said. But you need kingroot and you need to replace the King user with superuser. It's quite easy

Can someone confirm this works for H34510e? Excited to develop for this phone.
Yes it does. You will need king root and then you replace King user with super user. Simply search how on Google.

I have no idea, but its nothing anymore special than the other monthly kernel vulns we see. For your phone you would need a bootlaoder or dmverity exploit too

Huh I thought that root and bootloader unlocks were seperate because we didn't need an unlocked bootloader for towelroot. But also dm-verity was introduced in Android 4.4 and towelroot for this was for 4.4.2 and thee was no dm-verity bypass needed.
Hi, after all remote commands , or vulnerabilities, read carefully where is your /system malware by default.
Thanks!

Best possible thing to do would be to keep it on as long as you can and download a rom installer, to write a script to install the rom that the phone HAS to abide by.
