How would I go about rooting this. i've tried towelroot(Didn't expect it to work)
I saw a few different root methods when I googled but all on random blogspot sites(which i believe to be untrustworthy) what do you guys find the best way to do it is? also anyone heard of srsroot? i have never heard of it but apparently it works for this version of the firmware for this phone.

Hey sorry didn't get the email about your response. I actually tried every method I could find(including that one) and they all just leave me with eu.supersu.com (or something like that) installed but crashing everytime I launch it. I'm doing it from completely stock. I flash the stock Rom back on through Odin after each failed attempt. I just don't know what I'm doing wrong.
Also I have rooted a few phones before so I do know relatively what I'm doing.
This is what I followed

Tried that method. Also failed. Same problem as with others. I may just have to flash a custom recovery and change roms... I wanted to keep stock but if I can't find a way.
Have you tried Framaroot? I really have almost no experience with the note 2, and I read here that the rooting method of choice is Chainfire's as terpin32 suggested, but the Framaroot thread does list the note 2 as a supported device. Do you know what bootloader you have? If it is locked, I don't know if this works.

I'm a bit confused as to why you are having issues rooting your Note 2. I have the Rogers Note 2 i317m and it was on the same firmware and rooted it without any issues using the link I provided and from the looks of it you even tried methods that are better. I wonder what other factors may be affecting your rooting processes.
Where does the process fail and on which rooting instructions?

Well they all appear to successfully root the phone but when the phone reboots I get an app(titled eu.supersu.com or something like that) that crashes immediately every time I launch it with most of the methods. A few methods gave me a working supersu app but no su binary. I'm really getting frustrated oh I'm also on Rogers I don't think I mentioned that. Maybe I should try factory reset in it in case any apps are causing the problem.

Just figured i'd let you guys know I finally worked up the nerve to factory reset(i hate doing it) and it fixed the problems i was having.I also had to manually reinstall the supersu apk after rooting.
Glad you got it sorted. Setting everything up again is not trivial, but sometimes it has to be.

My device mini port is broken as well and I have tried towelroot and all others and still havent been able to root. phone on 4.4.2 new bootloader any suggestions is great.

BIG Noob Questions
Hi, I am unfamiliar with Samsung Phones. I currently have a LG phone without all this stuff about variants. I have a Rogers phone but I am unlocking it to run on Telus. That said can I run a Telus rooted firmware? Or does it not really matter what firmware is on the phone. Is it worth while to update the radio?
Sorry for all the questions. Thanks for any answers that you can give.

DMF1977, I tried your way. I downloaded Odin and root66_ATT_I747UCDLK3.tar. As soon as I loaded the root66 file, I didn't even get a chance to hit start, both times Odin froze. Then I saw "Check MD5....Do not unplug the cable...Please wait". I had no choice but to shut my phone down because Odin froze and wasn't doing anything. I tried it twice. Then after I unplugged and shut my phone down I saw this in the box " root66_ATT_I747UCDLK3.tar.md5 is valid. Checking MD5 finished successfully. Leave CS..."
I remember last year having a problem with Odin conflicting with something on my laptop when I rooted my Captivate. I ended up having to root it a different way.

Hi,
To preface, I am new to Samsung devices. I have been using Huawei devices until recently when my work started paying for my cellphone.
I've seen a few discussions about rooting the SGH-i257 that inevitable lead to the instructions for the SGH-i257m or some other variation of the S4 mini. What I've noticed is that it inevitably falls to some issue with Knox. I'm wondering if anyone has had success specifically rooting this phone using one of the straightforward utilities (like oneclickroot) or some sort of convoluted process.
I'm completely aware that I can disable apps. However, I want to root my phone and have more control. It's similar to the idea of why drive a manual instead of an automatic. You interact more with the car.
Anyway, any input would be great.
EDIT:
I've stumbled upon SRSroot a few times. Is this a legit rooting tool?

I have the same phone and I have tried all the one click methods, programs, SRSroot, towelroot, saferoot, you name it I've tried it without success. I've been searching the same threads that lead to the same conclusion...there is a way to root (flash) the SGH-i257M (Canadian) but from what I've found is that no one knows if you'll lose any services or anything else if you root the U.S. AT&T phone with that method and there isn't a stock rom out for it yet, so if you flash it to a Canadian (m) model and don't like it or it doesn't have everything working right you're not able to revert back.
I'm am not an expert by no means, thats just my thoughts from what I've read.

I followed the steps to root the SGH-i257. This process was not successful.
I will occasionally poke around here to see if something new manifests itself. Otherwise, I am probably going to wait a few months. I'm sure someone will figure out how to root the phone by then.

Your best bet is to ask in the rom thread. I have yet to flash anything on my P607T other then rooting. It looks like Dev work is very slow for this tablet. So you may not get a 100% working AOSP rom any time soon. Stock rom is really fast and sable once you root and deboat it. That is what I am sticking with for awhile.

Your best way is to just use TB and froze whatever you do not want. If you run into problems just unfroze it. If you uninstall and you run into a bootloop you will need to have the stock Odin firmware ready. here is a link to get the stock odin file.
http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/3/?download=29807
I just uninstalled whatever I did not want. If you google What apps are safe to remove on a Note 3 to debloat, it will pretty much be the same as the 10.1. Both the note 3 and the 10.1 are pretty much the same other then screen.

bootloader is unlocked and there is no problems getting root and current Twrp can be installed which says the bootloader is unlock. if the bootloader was locked you wouldn't be able to flash Twrp. from the looks of it no one has a p607. it is all 605 or the wifi only one p600 and 601. stock rom with root and debloated works great. try a 605 rom. hopefully CM starts to pick up more then we are set.
Sent from my HTC One_M8 using Tapatalk
Do P605 ROMs even work on a P607T? I've been wondering that myself. I have a 607T and although I am very impressed with the stock ROM it just is never going to measure up to CM for me.
I've been thinking about giving the P605 CM 11 port a try in a few weeks when it's just a bit more stable, but I have no idea how similar they are or if my device would even boot after flashing it!

You should be asking these questions there... That whole thread is dedicated to making calls on the P607T.... And if you read the thread you'll know the author hit a brick wall and a boot loader hack is needed to flash the proper modem files for phone calls.

Any idea about what sort of problems may pop up from doing this? I got a reply in the CM thread that their P605 version of CM should work fine on my P607 but... Surely it can't be that simple? Any idea what differences there are between thecode of the two tablets or is it really that similar?

I'm 95% sure the only difference physically is the radio "front end" hardware is tuned for the T-Mo LTE frequencies so the modem baseband SW reflects that, and software-wise all that's new is a few pre-installed apps like the "My T-Mobile" app and that (loud-and-annoying-as-hell-and-quickly-removed) T-Mobile "jingle" on startup; I've put several P605 ROMs on my 607T and everything's worked OK ('cause the bootloader won't let me overwrite the radios and potentially-dangerous bootloader files anyway).

Awesome info thanks so much!! So if I understand correctly, any differnces that would render my tablet completely inoperable are already protected from flashing? So I don't need to meet with the TARs for the Roms to remove the modem files or anything?
I mean, I don't mind if my radio breaks or something, I can handle flashing back to stock I am just never sure when I start flashing a new Android device what risks there are of bricking it completely (which, with Knox in the picture, could totally screw me).
So with that I will probably be going flash crazy tonight and tomorrow to test our some different 605 Roms starting with Cyanogen. I'll try to post any findings or quarks here or in those threads!

You will have to remove all the "*.mbn" and "*.bin" files from (Samsung-supplied) non-P607T ROMs, though- Odin will abort the flash if it receives a bad status from the bootloader when the bootloader rejects the flash operation. But it should be a straightforward unzip/rm/zip operation to repack, and I'm sure the CM flashes are just "boot" and "system" (and possibly "recovery") partitions anyway.

so is it necessary to remove the above mentioned files. I can't just flash a p605 rom with twrp?

Yes it is necessary, the .mbn files relate to the bootloader and the .bin files is the modem and NON_HLOS, being that they are for a different ROM it could cause major problems and maybe even bricking. @kcrudup even mentioned the bootloader conflicting with Odin if the device models don't match, so it seems you won't get the 605's installed without removing said files.

Your best bet is to ask in the rom thread. I have yet to flash anything on my P607T other then rooting. It looks like Dev work is very slow for this tablet. So you may not get a 100% working AOSP rom any time soon. Stock rom is really fast and sable once you root and deboat it. That is what I am sticking with for awhile.

I have been looking for a guide for flashing twrp onto my sm-p607t but i cant find one. I mainly need the correct twrp img.tar file for odin. I found this one ( openrecovery-twrp-2.6.3.3-lt03wifiue.img ) but I don't know if it is the right one. I used towelroot to root it and i used the proper supersu to disable knox so i just need the custom recovery now.
Anyone flash the newest ota? Any differences?
Just updated yesterday. I was hoping it would finally be on 5.1.1 but don't see any difference. Still had the annoying priority notifications and heads up notifications. Glad to see someone else is still squeezing life outta their note 3.
Is there a root out for this firmware yet?

There are a lot of users out there otherwise this update wouldn't have happened. They need to have a certain amount of users to justify updating. I'm glad as this phone is still a beast, and going strong.

Root works like any other recent version. Just look in the threads for the method you want. If it worked at least for four versions ago, it should still work now.

Ok I tried kingroot it said that it wasn't adaptable yet. So does that mean I should wait a while for a new root to come out or just try another way?

I think that's the only one I never used. Follow this thread for rooting. I've used this for all my Note 3 roots. You just need to do the rooting steps.

I'll try it hopefully I don't brick it. I rooted it once before but unrooted it to update it. My Knox is already tripped do I don't care about that. Just don't wanna brick it .

Yes. The bootloader is unlocked!

You don't need to use kingroot. Just flash TWRP via download mode and flash SuperSU.
This is really great! What security update does it have? It would be really great to have a deodexed version. I tried on the previous
version, but failed. Does anyone have good pointers on deodexing?

The firmware version is great. Custom roms usually come deoxed. Try magma ux build
