i all ready reported this threads too the mods too have it closed

I scrolled down like 20 plus threds and nothing on my phone. Thus why i posted "another useless" post.

So, is there a root method yet for Android 4.4 Sense 5.5 on the Verizon HTC One or do we have to wait for an exploit?

People have been asking almost everyday for an unlock method in the Galaxy S4 forums for about 9 months now with no luck so unfortunately asking doesn't seem to get any better results
I don't know why but after I upgraded (OTA) to 4.4 my phone is now unlocked and S-Off. My contract was up a week earlier and I called regarding an unlock token but was told I needed to have a third party do it. Totally contrary to the Agreement the 4 majors had with the gov't in December over unlocking phones when contracts were up. So I'm just hanging out waiting for one of the resident masters to figure out a root.

If you're unlocked and s-off all you need to do is flash a recovery like TWRP and then flash a prerooted rom (most are pre rooted). It's the getting S-off part that many are still waiting to get figured out. You're free to flash away.

I think we should have a sticky thread to let people know if Verizon 4.4 is able to root now or not. I too was checking this topic everyday to see if a method tu root my 4.4 Verizon HTC One is available yet.

I'd be up for someone creating a general Q&A for this phone. It would have helped me quite a bit when I was just starting. I know enough to get one started but I'd feel better if I could get more experienced people contributing to it.
Can I just root without flashing for now

BRHOLT6 : Little did I know. Is there a way that you know of that I can, for the time being, just root??

Ya, I think you can just flash a superuser.zip in recovery (you will need to flash a recovery first. Either TWRP or CWM...I prefer TWRP). It's been awhile, but I know it's not hard. There used to be a little tutorial in OP of the Rumrunner thread on how to gain root but I'm not sure if it's there anymore.

We can't get it until samsung releases firmware. There are quite a few threads on this already. I am waiting for it also. Just keep checking back we will get it sooner or later.

Have you found the firmware for this device or has it still not been posted yet? Also, where can I look for it at? I'm assuming it is a website that has all of the firmwares listed for every Samsung device. Unfortunately, i cant remember the name at the moment and Ill kick myself when you say it or if someone else posts it, for not remembering something so often i used to go to. However, I was in the hospital for a couple months for M.R.S.A. and that sucked. Im finally out of there but 2 months out of the loop with this field is like several years missing information in the technology world! So, what site was this posted on again?

so where is it? lol idk where it is bc i haven't yet seen it on SamMobiles site. when i enter the nomenclature it doesn't come up with any files for SM-T807P ! for the love of god please someone tell me so i can extract the file needed so we can get moving on this wonderful 4G LTE Sprint Samsung Tab S 10.5" Tablet i need a root for! Must have RooT...
so, does this mean that since this hasn't even been posted yet anywhere, completed, or done yet that considering this is the first step to development and achieving root, im also guessing people need this file to even start to begin making/developing the ROMs right? which probably means then there isnt/arent any even available as of yet and/or let alone a stock Rom/Custom ROMs for this particular device either is there? yes? no? if the answer is yes, then awsome cool where can i find any of them! if the answer is no, there arent any stock or custom ROMs available yet then my response is BoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooFREAAAAKKKKKIN Hisssssssssssssss 2 thisss maaaaaaaan! Bc this device has been out almost a year now and how can we begin development already on this thing! Is there anyway i can do it on my own? does someone have directions or a link to manually rooting IE the first way where we make the ADB command lines then type the next command to manually root the old fashioned way or what?! bc ill do it on my own if i have to!!!!! someone lead the way to the right direction(s) and im on it! might take some time but thats how i rooted my first smart phone the HTC EVO supersonic 31600. i know we use odin for samsung but what are the steps to get this ball moving?! if no one else is going to do it id like to try at least. anyone send me a link pls ? where do i start?

Right here. samsung-updates.com/device/?id=SM-T807P now can you upload the latest one to mega upload or mediafire? Then I can perhaps extract whats needed but still may take a while as beans or chainfire hasnt been porting cfautoroot to some devices. I could try to preroot it, but it may not work.
Root for SM-T807P
I got tired of waiting around for CF-Auto-Root to come out with a package so I made my own. It's all based off the CF-Auto-Root that I modified using another device that uses the same chip as the T807P.
I am in the process of testing it. So far I've come up with one bug which causes the DHCP wifi loop, but it was an easy fix. Once you have root access just change the permissions on the /system/etc/dhcpcd/dhcpcd-run-hooks file to "execute" by "user" "group" and "others" by using a root file explorer. It fixes the "obtaining ip address loop" for wifi.
All the standard legal stuff like - I am not responsible if you brick your device or if the root doesn't work.
Here is the link to the file I used with Odin to flash the CF-Auto-Root for my T807P.

How did you modify the stuff/exactly what did you do in cfautoroot? I tried myself but didn't know what else to do. I would love to learn! (I dont own a 807p so but I have always wondered how) Thanks!

I rooted so i could change my phone so could wifi tether without paying cricket the $10 a month. but i lost my ability to use android. can i unroot and encrypt my phone again and keep my changes and use android pay?

What did you change to get thethering to work? You can lock your bootloader but it's generally not a good idea of you have issues in the future.

S7 Active Root

IK this question was already asked, but is there an s7 active root. If not, will it ever come out?
I can root it for you just shoot me a message wont take 10 minutes to do you will need a computer
In a previous thread he said he did everything the same way as the regular S7 in a reply to a post of mine. Now he's saying that he doesn't remember exactly but will do it for you remotely. Something funny going on here.

Don't know to be honest. I just thought it was kinda strange that he said one thing at first but then was saying something totally different and wanting to root people's devices remotely. Also, it's a brand new xda account, only has 10 posts. That last part may mean nothing but just something that stuck out to me.
So is there root for the active or not?

Yes, but there is only a 50% success rate and there is chance to brick the phone. Wait a month or so for a stable version

LG G4 begging for root & some other info

I have done some searching, and it seems I already have my answer to root, but I will ask anyways as nearly all threads are at least a year old.
I have an LG G4 LS991 running Android 6.0, Hardware version 1.0, provider SPR. It seems I do not have, and likely will not ever have root, but has anyone come across any way to achieve this?
Also, I have an update that I need to know if it is worth running, or if I should delete it, in hopes of root. If deletion is the answer, how do I go about doing this?
