I had the unrevoked and wireless tether on my phone, and I thought when I did the upgrade it would not mess with my root, but it did. I just want to know what is a easy way to root my EVO and get the free wireless tether after the OTC upgrade. Is there a root job like unreoked that just always you to root your phone just for tethering, or should I totally root my phone, and if so, how easy is it to do it.
there is something called simple root, its an app that will basically root your phone for you. Check it out in the dev section. Never tried it before so I can't comment on it.

Hi guys
Been a while since I got my root game on (coming from a Note 3 with all the KNOX issues).
Anyway now I have the Zenfone 2 and no warranty so its time to root. The only thing I want is ad-block, nothing else. Best way to do this?
Will I not be able to OTA update once I'm rooted? If so is it easy to unroot and install OTA and then do root again without data loss?
Any help appreciated.
Install Chrome or Firefox and then install an adblock extension. I personally use Firefox with Adblock Plus on my Android devices. No need for root.
It is recommended that you not perform OTA once rooted, as you may experience bootloops. If you want to root, I recommend following one of the guides that involve pushing the rooted img through adb from your computer.

Search for adaway.
I'm using Adblock Plus right now without root and it seems to be working.
Adaway is the best one I have used, only rooted devices though. There's nothing else that can touch it.
Is it possible to get temporary(like if I root my device and then after reboot(normal reboot) it will be not rooted) root?
Device: Tab Pro 8.4 WiFi with KitKat.
Many of us on the Droid Turbo side were using Kingroot as a temp root solution...until Sunshine was released to unlock the bootloader. Then we used it to give us temp root, just long enough to unlock the bootloader, and quickly replaced it with SuperSU. The two downsides to using Kingroot...it's a Chinese entity, and while @jcase vouched for its safety, it is still Chinese (so I didn't trust it as a long-term solution). Second, temp root doesn't always allow you to write to /system, and if it does, the changes might not survive a reboot. So depending on what you're trying to accomplish, keep that in mind.
I Finally Got Temporary Root On The AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4 (and yes it is SuperSU, bit it does require KingRoot)
I Did It
can you post the software info page with the build for verification of which device it's on?
Like you want the build number?
BTW here is how to do it

This is temporary root which means that once you reboot you're going to lose root... Sadly not much new...

Meh, I know but it's better than nothing
Well if this is true it is new because it's on 5.1.1 and not 4.4.4. Going to give it a shot...
So I've tried twice now to root using Kingroot 4.8.0 on Android 5.1.1 and twice my phone has rebooted at the very end when I was trying to download SuperSUMe from the Playstore (did look like root was successful). Might have better luck if I factory reset my phone, but I'm not that interested in getting root.
I can verify that this indeed does provide a temp root on at&t note 4 v5.1.1
BUT! It causes the system to slow down and lag alot and the keyboard no longer works untill the phone is rebooted and when you reboot the samsung startup screen shows a padlock that says custom. So the guys at kingoroot have manged to find a small crack but it is to unstable to use at this time.
I did test out the root permissions on a few apps
1: es file explorer. (I was able to set rw permissions and move files from the internal to ext sd card and see root folders and files in the system)
2: lucky patcher (it was able to gain root and modify installed packages on the fly)
3: es task manager (i was able to acess the root features but changes did not stick)
My hope is maybe someone can learn from this and make the temp root more stable even if temporary (i kinda doubt it since gaining temp root seems to freak the system out causing glitches and stutters)
I obtain temporary root indeed the only I could achieve is, wipe bloatware and change font lol.... So far so good
Well remember, with Samsung changing the system on Android 5.1.1 now requiring a custom kernel to root one of their devices and knowing that AT&T locked the bootloader, this is the best we can get as of right now. Give the developers of KingRoot time because they have tried to root the note 4 without needing a custom kernel. I know it doesn't seem like a lot but give them time. We have wait this much for root. Why not wait a little bit longer for the root to stabilize?
Btw guys I rooted my note 4 on KingRoot v4.8.1, they haven't released this version on their website yet
And supersume pro probably won't work on this
I use the terminal emulator and a root script

There is a bounty regarding it, if they achieve completely root, 8,000 dollars are waiting for anyone achieving it
4.8.1 does stabalize things a little but i can guarantee just aboit that they are using a hole in the stock keyboard to obtain temp root i am going to experiment with non stock keyboards and see what happens from there. I also noticed that the phone gets hot when rooted
Does this temporary root allow the 910A to act as a wifi hotspot?
I was just about to list my Note 4 on Swappa. I can get by without root most of the time but when I need a hotspot, I really need it so I'm back on my Z2 for the moment.

At the moment NO temp root is not stable enough to reliably run long enough to enable and keep enabled wifi hotspot unless your carrier has opened that option. Lucky for me wifi teathering is included in my plan with at&t
Any way to run Xposed with this?
So is it available for download somewhere? Or will it be soon?

After delete all the bloatware it allow me to use Hotspot without need foxfi but I'm in Verizon so I couldn't tell you if it applies the same in at&t but I'm sure one of the program installed is the one that blocks or prevents Hotspot to work properly
I used Kingroot 4.8.1 (after you install 4.8.0 and open the app it tells you to update it) on my N910A and it got to 25% and failed? Happened a few times
I know there is a root method working for the N7 but it isn't really a proper root for the VERIZON N7. There are too many things that don't work properly. I don't care about Verizon bloat since it can be removed after root anyway. I mainly want root for Titanium Backup use. Will this current root method that relies on flashing Sprint firmware possibly lead to a root method for the Verizon firmware or are they not similar firmwares at all?
