Hello. I have a stock Galaxy Note 3 and I want to root, unlock bootloader and install custom cyanogenmod 11 ROM if possible. Anyone able to assist me with this? It would be greatly appreciated. Thank you. ☺

there is no shortcut but lots of reading... some good tutorials are available in the general section..
You mind sending me the links?

With the SM-N900T it is very easy. Install a custom Recovery through Odin from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=46110833
That should offer to install SuperSU for you -- do that. Then download and install CM.

Last time I did it, it threw me into a bootloop. I didn't use Odin though. Maybe that was the problem?
Sent from my SM-N900T using XDA Free mobile app
A boot-loop after installing TWRP is usually from installing the wrong version. For the SM-N900T there are versions for Android 4.3 and versions for Android 4.4.

I used the hlte nightly file for my phone. Didn't work so I tried the CM11 snapshot and it bootlooped me.

Did you install TWRP? CM11 requires a factory data-reset before installing it and you can do that with TWRP.
If you did do those two things then I don't know what caused the boot-loop.

I've tried millions of time to install super user.. But it keeps telling me error when it tries to update... Is it the mdl build or something else
Sent from my SGH-M919 using xda premium
If you're running stock, MDL blocks root access. Flash any of the custom kernels to get around the restriction and try updating again.
Thank you so much... I was wondering why it didn't work..... Yeah I was running a stock rom but now I'm using infamous S4 build

I need help. I also tried installing the supersu zip from galaxys4root.com and I am not getting root access. I am still on the stock system and do not plan on switching rom. I have twrp running well but im stuck there.

If you are on TWRP you are not still on stock recovery which should mean that you can install SuperSU from within TWRP.

I guess I need to learn how to post also. I'm stuck on version 4.1.2. I've rooted and installed custom rooms with cwm flashed latest tot files. Everything seems to go good each time. But when I check the android version, it never changes. Baseband, kernel and software versions change. But android version always 4.1.2.

Does the unroot function in the Super SU paid version work?
Unrooting from the 4.4 kit kat stock rom. Im running stock recovery also.
Has nobody used the Full Unroot feature of SuperSU with kitkat and the note 4?

Made an account just to reply to this. I was in the same boat, and tried that. Phone rebooted but couldn't take OTA. When it restarted after failed OTA install, went into bootloop. Had to reflash stock through ODIN and problem solved. Sorry man.
So Im running stock recovery and stock rooted 4.4. So that means I either wait for lollipop on Kies or Odin back to stock then take the OTA.

I'm in the same boat
Not sure about this but Odin to stock and taking update will keep all your data if that is what you are worried about. Only issue is you might not be as smooth keeping your settings. I had some fc's and lag. So I reset to factory and restored apps and there was a huge speed and smoothness increase.
Im planning on reseting, trying to maintain setup on a major update always causes lag.

Just checked Kies update still isn't there.

Would it be possible to root using the ping-pong root method, then use flashify to flash twrp img?
Sent from my SM-G925T using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
I'm sure you can, but that would definitely trigger Knox and would void your warranty. You might be able to also flash a ROM using FlashFire which is supposed to be even better and doesn't require a custom recovery. In fact, if you eliminate the boot and kernel elements from whatever rom you're flashing, you could still remain under warranty (not tripping knox).
Thanks, but I really was not to worried about knox, just wanted a way with out apc.

Yes it definitely is possible, that's how I rooted and installed twrp. Nothing like being able to root and flash twrp without using a PC!
Could anyone point me to the twrp. Img download page for the the tmobile edge?

I also need the recovery.img file. When I open flashify and try to choose the image file I downloaded it is greyed out and won't let me select it. Any ideas? I have tried downloading twrp through the flashify app and the S6 edge isn't on the download links.

I tried flashify, softbricked, took forever to get it back running as im on a mac, and having to use a VM and what not getting everything set up and the right Odin, right files, stock firmware, took me literally all night to get up and running again, and yet i still cant get twrp working on this damn phone.
Try this:
1. Download twrp recovery and zip it with the installer script. Make sure it's named recovery.img
2. Install flashfire
3. Flash twrp update zip with flashfire
4. Hopefully boot into twrp!
This is how I got TWRP installed.

I'm sure you're tired of these noobie questions but...
I'm stock MM, is there an easy way to root? Do I need to wipe? I don't need a custom ROM at this time.
I've rooted and installed custom recoveries on previous phones but I'm not sure how Odin works.
Is there an up to date guide for this that will work with MM?
Thanks all.

I'll just tell you what tools you need to do root for MM.and about how to do, use Google to find out how to do that.
You need chainfire Auto-Root for sprint galaxy note 4 to flash it from odin.
Of course download odin and your phone drivers.
If you want custom recovery use twrp.
If you want how to use these tools Google is your friend.
