Hello all,
I have a verizon SMT597V tablet, I have looked up and down to see if there are any exploits for it, with no luck. I only see sketchy online tools that claim to be able to root it (which I'd actually pay for if they'd work) but I need a 64 bit firmware on here, so I can use it to fly my drone.
Anyone have any advice on if this is possible? Either root or install a 64 bit firmware?
Thank you!!

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?
Good afternoon folks. Im a fairly experienced guy as far as rooting and installing custom Rom's go on Samsung Phones. In this case I have POSSIBLY, the Hong Kong version of the Samsung Galaxy Note 5 (SM-N9200) and while I was able to get a root on it with King Root..it's not my desired method. I'd really like to ROOT the phone, but I need to first unlock the BOOT-LOADER.
I've tried the CROM-APK but it won't install (I Keep getting "App not installed" every time I attempt it), and to my knowledge, I don't know of any other methods. IF anyone has a SHORT or LONG winded manner of doing this it would be appreciated. I've even tried the ONE-CLICK-ONE-TOUCH all the way around method and that was to no avail as well.
Also does anyone know if this phone is LTE Capable???? Would flashing a custom Rom give me access to that feature?
Any help would be appreciated.
Is there literally nothing for this? I've got the method to downgrade to 4.1.1 but that only yields root apparently. No custom roms or anything.
Is there anything available for this tablet or remarkable about being on 4.1.1 I've searched both on all boards here on Tab S2 and it seems useless.
Aside from that, is there any way to unlock the simcard slot?
I apologize for the questions but it's looking like the tab may as well stay on 6.0.1.
Thanks for comments and advice, and yes, I've searched up and down (T817T all boards, etc.)
You have got to search and read through a bit more.
I only got this tablet (a used one of course) only 2 days back, so others may be able to help you more.
For me I just rooted the tablet and installed some xposed modules. For my need with the tablet, I don't need anything else.
Unlocking simcard slot has to be done from tmobile. I am not aware of any hacks available in xda.
You can install twrp and root the device if you want. T810/T815 they uses the same chipset. The information I have gathered so far indicate that you can install aosp roms for those models, but you shall not get cellular connectivity. Any chance of having official Nougat on this tablet is very very slim. There are some aosp 7.0 roms, but they are in early developmental stage; things like fingerprint sensor won't work.
Anyone feel free to correct me if I am wrong on any of the things I mentioned.
I no longer have tmobile.
Could I flash the t810 firmware onto the t817 tab s2? This way I could get the updates straight from Samsung.
I was only able to get one ROM to work on mine. Ultimately, I gave up and just kept it stock.

I'm also frustrated with the T817T. I have been able to root it, flash TWRP, but I have never been able to flash a custom ROM. I have heard that the T815 ROMs should work, but I get an error in TWRP if I try to flash one.
I was reading something in the Note 10.1 2014 forum that you could flash the P605 (International) ROM to the P607T (T-Mobile) if you unzipped the ROM, removed the modem files, and rezipped it. I'm wondering if something like this would work for the T817T as well.
If anyone has any ideas how to do this, please respond here.
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?

Root Galaxy Note 8 Snapdragon using Extreme Syndicate Method (SM-N950U/U1)
A step-by-step guide on how to root Snapdragon Galaxy Note 8 (SM-N950U/U1) running V8 bootloader using the Extreme Syndicate root method.

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!
