So i recently been wanting to root my T-Mobile Galaxy Note 3 again, the first time i did it in TowelRoot and it worked just fine, but i had to turn it in for warranty, i got a new one and I'm wanting to root it, i open TowelRoot and it says "This phone isn't currently supported". What? that doesn't make sense because i did the same process before with the exact same model phone and it worked just fine ( I run 4.4.2 ) as i looked into the problem i found that if you tap the "welcome to the towelroot v3" 3 times, it gives you a code that you can change, i changed it to all the available codes to try and fix it, got nothing. i have no idea why its deciding to not root this phone but it worked just fine with my first Note 3. Please someone help, any help is fine.
Sir,
Please wait until mods will move this thread to the device specific forum for more relevant answers.
Stand by
Good luck
Towelroot won't work on kitkat, you need chainfire's autoroot, look in original development.
Pp.
If you flash the NE6 kernel using Odin you can then use Towelroot to root your phone. Then you can flash the NK3 kernel back If you want
for a Samsung Galaxy Note Edge (AT&T SM-N915A) Has anyone used ODIN to flash 4.4.4 from Lollipop (which I read doesn't trip knox) and then used Kingroot to get temporary root and then install Safestrap? I didn't really find any custom roms, but when booting from Safestrap, wouldn't root still be available even if you installed the stock Lollipop rom as the SS rom? Or would it be too difficult to remove the recovery if that's present in the stock LP rom so it doesn't mess with SS if you boot from it?

I did use ODIN to go back to KitKat and then used Kingoroot, but the safestrap part your talking about I have no clue. Was unaware of any safestrap for the Notre 4 or Edge.
Back on Lollipop unrooted though. Found the temp root annoying and with FF browser and AdBlock plugin I'm getting by

Sorry, no permanent root yet... But the 5.1.1 upgrade is available, just remember to clear the cache before attempting to upgrade.

Probably not, but that is my opinion and not based on fact.

So it is possible now to get temporary root access using kingroot on 5.1.1 but I am hoping someone get this information to chainfire so that chainfire can use it to come up with a permanent root using odin.
How could i upgrade to 5.1.1 im using 915a in pakistan? Can any on help me ?
hey guys,
I am from Vietnam and i just 've bought the SM-N910A (said that from ATT) in Vietnam. I used RootChecker and Phone INFO to get to check my phone.
The result is my phone was ROOTED!!!. I restarted some times but the ROOT is still accessed.
I tried to use Root Explorer to copy/paste from/into system folder, it's ok like other rooted devices.
I'm following xda-note edge and see everyone's saying that NO way to permanent root ATT note egde.
I also dont know what method the seller used to root my edge, but i think it's permanently rooted.
I've NOT try to unlock bootloader neither install recovery. There seem to be no official method for ATT edge. I am afraid bricking my device.
I upload some screen to show you my note. Thanks and need your advice, guys

When you moved data into /system did you remove it before rebooting, or did you leave it in /system and were still able to boot?
If you could enable USB Debugging and open a shell with ADB and type "ps", then post the output, that may be a place to start.
Recently, kingroot has been able to get root on my note, but after 5-10 minutes I get ANRs and the phone crashes, then I have to re flash with Odin to go back to stock. I have logcat logs up to where it crashes as well.
I'm on 5.1.1
Edit
5 minutes after I posted this AT&T tried pushing a security update. Probably to fix this.

I did temp root with KingRoot too. I went and disable the bothering Carrier IQ which was taking all my zerolemon battery. And also I disable most most of the bloatware of at&t.
Let's hope Chainfire or someone co.e with the permanent one.

Customs boot icon
I rooted my at&t note edge using king root. Then I installed SuperSU and used the option to install binaries in "normal" mode. Then the phone rebooted and in the booting screen i got an icon with an unlocked lock that said "Custom" then the phone booted normally no problem.
I dont know if this information is useful but i thought it was important to share.

I have 5.1.1. After rooting the phone repeatly bacause after 30 seconds of being rooted the phone rebooted. I went into download mode (home + dwVol) the status showed that was official and that it was locked. I don't know if this information is relevant but sharing is important.
I tried the method from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2364980
Which is the only thread I found for rooting my device which was decent but after flashing the rootkit on clockwordmod, my device still isn't rooted. The binaries won't get installed and it's very frustrating.
Everything works fine and I get no errors and this is why I'm confused and irritated that it doesn't work.
Please help
kind regards,
Sack
Hi guys. I'm new at forum. In case i may repeat some thread, i'm deeply sorry but i'm very desperate, 'cause i really not understanding.
Root is new for me. However in the last 3 weeks i keep learning about all of it, mainly observing this forum. I even could root another phones, purchased recently. The problem is that my Samsung is not accepting any kind of root , being programs of "one-click" or even flash recover process. I have already watched a billion tutorials but i can manage to make it work. For your information:
- One-click Programs using PC (used: Kingo Root, Root Genius, SRS and etc....)
Process starts nicelly and countdown of percentages are slow, but work. However, in some point, with all this programs, the phone reboots itself, not as the way that should be, breaking the process. So the root's not succeed.
- ODIN/CWM/Supersu
I managed to place a custom Rom using Odin and install super su using flash recovery following the same procedures as everyone. But, when phone reboots, not only the root is not available but the supersu is having that "binary error" thing. I know that this is not a problem of the program, but something odd about the rooting process.
I got all samsung drivers updated. Does someone can help me out with this blast phone? I never thought that trying to root a samsung phone would be so dificult. Never again a Samsung Phone, since i cannot be master of my own phone.
Phone model: Samsung S3 Grand duos GT i9082l
Android ver.: 4.2.2
Rooting will be very difficult at first.I also faced many problems when I first rooted my device.At last after using many apps I successfully rooted my phone using Root Genius
★ try to use non samsung usb
★ use different ports
★ make sure that you enabled usb debugging
★ try on different pc/laptop
............but later I learned how to root using odin..
But my favourite method is one click root app named kingroot mobile apk(try 3 times atleast)..

@NeoLogY I think he is telling about SGG i9082l......S3 and grand are 2 different classes...Only similarity is in its design....
I rooted my S4 Mini a while back using Odin and it worked fine. I recently updated my phone to the latest firmware which I think is 4.4.2 and it removed my root access. I tried rooting using Odin but it would not work. My phone model number is SGH-I257M. I looked up how to root for that model and during the Odin phase, it would be stuck on RESET and it wouldn't say PASS hence when I verified for root it failed.
I was also told that rooting using the method for the I9195 would also work. For this one, Odin does say PASS but when the phone reboots, the phone did not install the S4Mini_kit which consisted the SuperU and the BusyBox hence when I verified for root it failed again. I feel as if I tried everything to my knowledge. It would be great if someone could shed some light in what I may be doing wrong.
Thank you
