Hello, I am just asking for opinions here. My G3 will be here in a few hours and I will be rooting it immediately. I used IO on my G2 and it worked fine. But does anyone see any upsides or downsides of Towel or IO? Thanks! :good:

towel is a simple apk that doesn't even require a reboot.
Towelroot as it looks to be incredibly simple.

Does anyone have any information on the ability to unlock/root the Verizon M8? I tried sorting through the information on the One (2013), but I can't really get a good read on the capability of unlocking/rooting a Verizon M7 on 4.4.2.

The root instructions linked in another post here indicate unlock and root is not possible on Verizon. Is that just not yet or not ever?

Not yet because that method relies on HTC dev unlock, something verizon forces HTC to disallow.....therefore you can't flash a custom recovery and root zip file. However many devs are already working on s-off, root etc so just be patient and thank them when its out.

I'm running a gpe rom, sorry for hijacking but does anyone know the exact mesument that is outputted through ogt cable. i know my Fiio e17 works on gpe roms but not on some others.
I wanna jump on this Verizon by-one-get-one promotion but I'm hesitant b/c there is no root yet.
Should I worry about that at all?
I know there aren't any ETA's for root, but does anyone have an educated guess?
Thanks. (I need to tether for work.)

Assuming you only need root on your phone, get them and only activate the one. Just wait until root to use yours (the free one). It's easy math.
Can the *NEW* AT&T SGH-i257 VoLTE(HD Voice) released on 5/23/2014 be rooted?
I have seen root methods for other SGH-i257 variants, but not certain that will fly on this recent iteration.

I received mine a few days ago. It is a great device for it being a little aged spec wise. It has been a while since I have messed with a Samsung device. Reading up this knox thing seems to be a huge pain in the rear.

Yeah I played with the demo at the store I liked it alot and ordered a new one on eBay because of the size, and spec wise it is pretty decent due to the size and it supports microSD I am very happy. Yeah I miss the good ole days with Sammy when boot loaders were unlocked, but AT&T and other carriers forcing their hand

If I had a few more tools and was more up to date I would do it. Unfortunately I have always relied strongly on the skills of the members here. I know someone will be through here in a bit after the phone has a little more exposure. It looks like we probably do need a few files that are more specific to this device. 1 thing I already noticed is that some variants of this device do not have a notification light.

Saw in another thread that people were not having luck with towelroot or IORoot, so how do we root the T-Mobile variant? I have not received mine yet, just want to ask in advance.

Currently rooted, running stock 4.4.2. Got a notification of an update....not sure what it would is - 4.4.4 maybe? Not sure if I should update (don't want to lose root). Anyone know what the update is and if updating with cost me root?
Thanks
Same situation
I too would like to know this. Thanks in advance!
You probably already know this, but it's just a ChromeCast fix (and maybe some other minor stuff) for 4.4.2. Some people have reported horrible battery life after taking/flashing this update, so since I don't use ChromeCast (and I'm rooted), I haven't flashed it.

No. Didn't realize that, thanks for the info. I usually keep up with this stuff but there's been so little support for this particular tablet that I just haven't paid as much attention as I usually do.

No. Just no more nagging notifications. Mine would only update with Kies too. Have no idea why I did it but at least my TiVo app streams video now (it was blocked by root before)
