First, V20c is the latest....
I believe the only sure way is to unbrick and flash a prerooted stock ROM.

what error messages are you getting?
Also, make sure you have usb debugging enabled and have it set to pc software. If you get failures change permissions or to push files to your phone you should reboot the phone. Other than that, just keep attempting. First time I rooted it took the first time... ,2nd time I was almost ready to give up when I saw 'zerg rush successful'

what program should I be using to root I listed 3?
Then I can list the messages

what mattman says is correct, V20c is the latest and requires the unbrick method, but v10j can be easily rooted.. just have to put up with a little frustration here and there.
I have no preference on what program used to root, but what little experience I have is with super one click, so.... that one.

sounds good can you provide a link to the guide and I will get started right away (I think i know the one but better not to brink my phone)

the unbrick method is sticky'd here. It looks daunting but it's really quite simple. Just read through it once or twice, get a feel of what to do, and be sure to pay attention to any problems that others have encountered and you should be good to go.
Also, just to clarify; if you do, in fact, have v10j you don't need to unbrick. The ota update wasn't v20c if I'm not mistaken.

I will try super one click one more and give any error messages I may have

I have a screen shot
I have debug mode on
unknow sources enabled
usb connection mode pc software

Funny thing is I had the troubles rooting the Korean kdz following the unbrick. Prior to upgrading to ics official, my stock gb Rom rooted first time. That's why I say to just keep trying because that's what I did and it finally worked after about an hour of steadily clicking "root"after each failure.

maybe try a different version of super one click, I used 2.3.3 I believe it was.. or just keep trying that. It will take eventually.

I can't say I have a lot of experience rooting this device (I've only ever done it once), but I did have a few failures before I was able to succeed, so I'll at least give you an idea of what worked for me. Granted, this was on v10f firmware but it may be the same.
What worked for me was using doomlord after rebooting the phone. Supposedly the lag that the phone goes through right after it boots increases your success rate. So basically what I did was reboot the device with the USB cable connected, immediately swipe to unlock the phone at the moment when the lock screen first became visible, then immediately start doomlord before the phone has a chance to settle down and stop lagging.
Hope that works for you.

same thing just hangs up what else should I do

Also, don't use "shell root" if you're using SuperOneClick. Do a regular root.

the main thing now is just to keep trying. Try a manual reboot here and there maybe. If it doesn't work this time, try it again. If that doesn't work, do it again. If that fails, try again, etc, etc, etc, etc.
Or, try drumist's suggestion. I've read a few success stories with that method as well.

You can't root that version. If you want to get root, you'll need to use unbricking method to install a ROM that can be rooted (like the russian one), root it, then flash back to a ROM you want to use.

You'll notice I'm the one who posted that, and it was quite a while ago. In reality, it can be rooted but I believe it is more difficult. Good luck in any case.

I assumed you had read the threads related to v10j rooting and based my assumptions upon that. I didn't really have the time to go reading/linking threads back to this one last night anyway, but today is a different story. From: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1740467 Pretty clear that particular version can't be rooted, and that conclusion took a whole 10 seconds to find using the search function. Follow this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1597488 and you'll be rooted and flashing new roms like you stole 'em in no time.

[Q] ExynosAbuse APK v1.40 for first root before T889UVALL4 & first things to do?

So I had downloaded ExynosAbuse APK v1.40 to pop root cherry well before I even consider updating to T889UVALL4 & wanted to make sure there were no issues to be aware of before proceeding.
1) ExynosAbuse APK v1.40 for rooting leaves it in unmodified status & is totally reversible-really no risk at all?
2) Recommended root method after update* to T889UVALL4 ?
Honestly with all the customization in GO Launcher & the respectable Note2 battery life I'm no longer as interested in ROMs but it's good to know I could if I need even longer battery life etc. I don't like artificial limitations so I'm still curious about rooting, what would you recommend to first do after rooting (Wi-Fi router, Titanium Backup, Avast advanced anti-theft options etc)?
I don't see why I can't use Wi-Fi router functionality on rare occasion with my data allotment & noticed T-Mobile blocked this when trying FoxFi so how difficult is this to set up following root on SGH-T889 ?
Recommendations for Wi-Fi router ( https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.googlecode.android.wifi.tether ? ), Titanium Backup, Avast root anti-theft options etc?
- Thnx

If you've rooted and not updated yet I found the root saving feature in SuperSU Pro saved my root across the OTA update. I belive I've read from others that OTA rootkeeper also worked for them.

I'm trying to find out the same thing while keeping the phone status as normal. But from what i have been able to figure is that the only way to do this is by rooting using Mobile Odin. So really you are re- rooting the phone. It seems that you cannot maintain root if you used the exploit abuse because the update is what fixes the problem that enabled you to root by means of this method. Please correct me if I am wrong because I have been holding off from updating until I am sure of what I can do. as you can probably tell I don't want to go through the root process again and chance messing up anything that is already working flawlessly
Edit: I should clarify I am talking about updating via this method http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1975560 using the info from around post 205 and on

Re: [Q] ExynosAbuse APK v1.40 for first root before T889UVALL4 & first things to do?
Just use ota rootkeeper and do the ota. The exploit is simply the vector which got root installed the first time. Rootkeeper is the easiest way to reestablish root after ota.
Even if there is an issue, being root back is ridiculously easy on this device.

We definitely would not be able to use the ExynosAbuse APK v1.40 after the T889UVALL4 update as it patches the exploit the apk uses but posters seem to be indicating that if done before then root could possibly be kept via https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.projectvoodoo.otarootkeeper , anyone confirm scenario or suggest next best alternative? - Thnx

Yep, that's it. As long as you use rootkeeper to make a backup of root, you're good. I did another reboot after restoring root, not sure it was necessary, but figured it couldn't hurt.
Don't think it works if you try to use kies to update, has to be a OTA download. I just got my OTA notification about an hour ago, so just wait if you haven't got it yet.

It did for me. I initially rooted using mrRobinson's root66 for the initial firmware. Rootkeeper worked great with both uvalk8 and uvall4. YMMV

I havent updated either and want to root before updating. Also not sure if I'm going to keep the phone so for the sake of returning, will rooting via apk change my Device Status to Modified? Someone mentioned theirs didnt change but need more confirmation. TIA.

Reportedly the device status will be normal not modified, I'll further confirm when I do it. Why are you thinking about returning the handset & how do you like the ASUS Transformer Pad TF700T (how limited does it feel compared to full pc-can you install Ubuntu or WIn8 on it)?

Thanks you as well. The reason I'm thinking of returning it is the size. I was aware it's not a one handed device but playing with it at the store it felt fine till I got around to really using it now that I have it. I feel like I'm fighting to hold on to it even when I have to pick it up off a table. But really love the speed of it compared to my s3.
Asus tf700t is another story. No way you can deal with it stock. You have to run custom rom and perhaps do the data2sd mod to eliminate some of the IO issue. If smoothness is what you're looking for, its not there yet. Transition in opening apps is choppy still. Swiping between home screens and app drawer not so much. IO issue still exist at time even with the data2sd mod. The only thing making me hold on to it is the keyboard dock. Cant live without the dock and its features. But really I just use it now as a replacement laptop so I'm ok with it. There's a Ubuntu beta for the tf700t but not really interested and windows 8 is probably impossible on it but Id rather sell it and get a win 8 rather than rely on a port but win8 is so limited right now that I dont wanna bother with it. But If you dont need the dock go for the Nexus 10 (I'm testing that as well). Otherwise wait for what asus comes up with or maybe the new sony z tablet. PM me if you have any other questions so we dont clog up the thread =).

Going to DL the OTA rootkeeper to obtain root after I do the OTA. I assume I can still unroot using the ExynosAbuse app once I do the OTA?

If you need to unroot, just go to SuperSU > settings > Full unroot.

See http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=37026912&postcount=10 for order of steps
Device status should remain normal as long as you don't use the apk to patch the exploit (only use the apk to root then back up root with OTA rootkeeper then install OTA update which will patch the Exynos exploit that the apk used to root & rerun OTA rootkeeper to restore root).
I can not confirm that you can still unroot using the ExynosAbuse apk after OTA as I will not likely do it until tomorrow (hopefully I can get a reply to http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2113053 by then). Anyone confirm this?
Regarding size, I do consider it a one-handed device but I wear large size gloves, I do find the following helpful & may make it easier for you to handle:
I use this Seidio kickstand case & often also use the following: http://www.amazon.com/StickStand-wedgi-Smartphone-Kickstand-Navigation/dp/B004EVFO1G & at times http://www.amazon.com/CellHandle-Positive-Control-Your-Phone/dp/B0073G6OM2 on the Seidio kickstand case with Go Launcher. I'll PM you when I get a chance regarding tablets.

Good to read confirmation that full unroot is still an option in this scenario.
So is this procedure the only way to root this handset wirelessly ATM (it seems the easiest while also correcting the Exynos exploit)? - Thnx

Ah ok then, go into google frameworks (in Settings > All Apps) then clear data
Then go into /cache and delete any update files still there and reboot
EDIT: Is he on MA6 OR MB1 now?
If hes on MA6 I would just go into the build.prop and replace all instances of MA6 with "MB1" then save and reboot and no more OTA notification

Also, for your tmobile roms do you know how they prevent it? Do they just turn off checking in with google, or remove the update app? Would be good to know so I can update my FAQ haha

Well I know our roms all have custom build.prop and it looks like you have to edit yours after the fact. Am I wrong?

[Q&A]How to root your Samsung Galaxy s6 or s6 Edge

Sorry ~ I got this totally wrong, sorry for the misconfusion.

You do realize that there are not any Sprint S6 devices listed on that page? Also, that method does not work for 5.1.1...

Tried to root with Ping Pong; nervous to try this
Hi,
II was hoping you could help me. I am kind of a nooby. I have rooted several of my phones over the years, but I don't ever flash "custom recovery" or ROMs. I just root so I can refuse the OTA updates and get free hotspot. I've been searching the threads for help, but I don't understand some of the technical jargon that is used on these sites.
I just got the Sprint Galaxy S6. I have followed the directions for rooting with Ping Pong. I have tried both 5.1 and 6. When I use 5.1, I get a message that says SuperUser not installed? Did you install SuperUser before root? When I try to open SuperUser, I get a message that says "SuperUser binary not installed. If you recently upgraded to 5.0 root manually. I have re-installed like some of the posts suggest, but get the same result.
If I use Ping Pong 6, it tells me my device is not supported. ????
My ROM is G920PVU1AOCF
Android Version 5.0.2
I have not installed 5.1, but it has downloaded on my phone. I keep getting a message telling me to install it. Can you please help and advise me? I;m nervous to try your method, because the ping pong method didn't work. Where do I find the samsung drivers to install? Will your method trip Knox? Thanks in advance.

If hotspot is the only reason you root, you don't need root to have the free hotspot man, there is a thread that gives accurate instructions, if you have your MSL number (easy to get via Sprint chat) and follow the instructions 100% it works, and yes it works on 5.1.1, I was using it a little bit ago at the airport

Ping Pong panics the kernel so u have to put ur phone in Airplane mode after you've hit download. I forgot to ask, is your kernel build before or after May 15? If after u won't be able to use Ping Pong!

I sent a PM to the OP.
Honestly the OP is probably just trying to help, but with this specific model not being listed on CF Page he linked.. its misleading.
Someone could flash the wrong variant. Hopefully he sees this and edits his post.
There isn't a specific listing for the Sprint S6 on there for CF Auto Root.
Don't download anything unless it says SM-G920P.
You don't need to use CF Auto Root for Sprint
Theres 2 ways to do it right now on 5.02
1. Tripping Knox - by installing TWRP recovery, then simply a zip of SU within twrp
2. Not tripping knox- Doing PingPong Method
If you are on 5.1 then i suggest monitoring this thread since its updated.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/sprint-galaxy-s6/general/how-to-to-100-stock-root-t3075448
Just a side note for anyone... To hard power off the phone since you cant battery pull.. hold volume down and power for 10 seconds.

Under Kernel version it reads:
Sun Mar 29 20:59:58 KST 2015
So, it should work if I put my phone in airplane mode? After I download apk and before I install it?
I tired of this constant reminder to install update!

Got it last month, but thanks for the heads up in case others have not.

does anyone have this to flash with ODIN? I just need to flash this to get the newer baseband radio from it.
---------- Post added at 04:36 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:17 PM ----------
Okay found all of the stuff OIDN and drivers and the rom along with TWRP 2.8.7.0 to flash with ODIN after the firmware it flashed so that you can go back to a know good working recovery once your done with the baseband update. I'll post a link to my google drive once I have all of that in place. Now what I'd like to know is if you would like it all in part ie. rom zip then the odin zip and the recovery zip and the drivers zip or would you like it in one big zip file? Let me know. That way I can get up to the drive that most of the users want it in. Thanks and glade we still have devs that work on this old but still kick a$$ phone.

Take sim card out while flashing.
I tried to flash mine through ota update. Somehow damaged my sim.
I realised a day later that i could not send an sms message. Recieve ok send no. Everything else was fine. Lucky i had my girl's sim to test it.
Had to get a new one at the store. They tried to charge me. Ha!
Better safe than sorry.

I accepted this update via OTA and had no such problems, I suspect your problems may have been caused by a failed update.

Yes. it was. The file I downloaded from here (QD2 Update) would not complete flashing. So I ODINed the PL1 firmware and tried to flash again. did not work. blahdiblah.
Eventually I went through the OTA update from PL1. the phone rebooted telling me to insert sim. I managed to restart the phone and get the sim recognized, but the sim was damaged somehow with it not being able to send text messages.
Went to the store. they at first tried to charge me for a new sim.... but then the guy remembered that I had previously called his manager complaining that he was too good of a salesman.... then he told me straight: "we've had a bunch of complaints about that problem" (OTA updates breaking SIM cards)
So, Just to be on the safe side, I take the sim out from now on.

Alright.

Network Problem
hey. Guys i have a sm-n900t but my sim card wont read. There is a round circle with a line in it and when i try to call some it say "mobile network not available" please help me guys...

I suspect you may have an out of date modem that's not compatible with the latest Lollipop update. My initial questions to you are did you install this update via OTA or using ODIN and what OS did you have prior to installing this update? If your currently installed modem is indeed out of date, the first troubleshooting step would be to re-flash the N900TUVUFQD2 firmware using ODIN.

If I'm on this baseband version, can i flash the Dompop rom: https://forum.xda-developers.com/no...rom-dompop-urv1-tekhd-edition-note-4-t3060175
Or do i need to change baseband version??
Also, to root my note 3 should i follow this guide or something else? https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2672393

here, i just posted this: https://forum.xda-developers.com/no...updated-bl-cp-t-mobile-galaxy-note-3-t3651839

ODIN should update the modem partition when you flash the latest firmware, I'm not sure why yours didn't update unless you somehow flashed it incorrectly. I'll record a video on how to do if you'd like.

I have the SM-N900TUVUFQD2 from T Mobile, but not on a major network.
Would like to update to Marshmallow, can someone please post the steps on how to do this or a link if someone has the Marshmallow update file, please.
The link in AndroidHacker99 post is 5.0 Lollipop
Update; I am running Phronesis N5 6.0.1 v3.0 and it is running very well with no problems.

I am on the latest lineageOS 20170822, my phone shows a baseband of N900TUVSFPH3, how can I update to latest modem firmware?

Here is the link to the newest baseband
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=673368273298969970

Alright, sounds like there needs to be some clarification here.
#1. I installed the update via ODIN, and IF you flashed the update via ODIN as well, your baseband WILL update (assuming something didn't go wrong, in which case I recommend a re-flash to ensure the process completed successfully).
#2. I never intended this to become an error reporting thread, I was simply posting a notification for those who didn't know about this update. You should go post about this in the Troubleshooting section of this Note 3 (TMO) subsection.
#3. If you want to complain to me saying "This update broke my phone!!"... It's not my software, therefore it's not my problem. All modifications (this includes firmware flashes) are YOUR responsibility and YOU perform it at YOUR OWN RISK.
Go look around on XDA, everyone says "PERFORM AT YOUR OWN RISK".
Hope this cleared most of it up, if not... go re-read it because you probably didn't ACTUALLY read it.
