I just got my new tablet and I am trying to root but don't know which files to use. Has anyone successfully rooted their AT&T tablet? Thank you.
I don't think you can root the att tab s. It has a locked bootloader
^^^^ Just like he said, AT&T does indeed lock their bootloaders. If they arent ecrypted there may be a way around it but thats not something I have any knowledge in as ive never owned a AT&T device.
darn
Awww man wanted to remove all the bloatware. Thanks guys.
According to this tweet, SRS Root now can root our AT&T SM-T807A device:
https://twitter.com/srsroot/status/535510121133391873
I find this a bit suspicious because 1) No one else has root for it, and 2) SRS Root is not represented on XDA. I'm a bit hesitant to try it. Anyone feeling adventurous to try it and report back?

Seems new? I think I seen one like this but idk if this is the same. Well... Since it's based off of exploits by the looks of it, its best to do some more research on it. I might give it a try later idk since it saids supported for the T800 also
I would try it but I have not rooted in awhile and would hate to brick my tablet.

I have looked at it. It use adb and tries bunches of exploit. Since I'm already root I cannot try it. It would most likely not brick your tablet and its worth a try I guess. Up to you!
For anyone wanting to know if SRS Root works, it doesn't. After it connects through ADB, it tries many different exploits before applying the 4th one. Then is prompts that the device is successfully rooted and SuperUser has been installed. It then reboots the device just as CF Autoroot does, but it fails to actually root. This is my 1st device with a locked bootlader, so I'm considering swapping it for the T-Mobile version. Can't deal with the bloatware much longer

Both the T707 (AT&T Tab S 8.4) and T807 (AT&T Tab S 10.5) are rootable, as far as I know. The thing is, it depends on firmware. If you're using NH6 or NJ5, I think you can root. If you're running the latest NK1 firmware, you're out of luck for now.

I was going to downgrade my Verizon Note 4 to 4.4.4 KitKat. Although, I am a bit "faint of heart" when it comes to this, so to speak. I've loaded custom ROMs and rooted other devices, but with my new-ish-ly acquired note 4 I have not. Is there any risk downgrading to 4.4.4 just for the "Kingroot" temporary root? Or would it be better just to wait for a lollipop temporary or kitkat permanent root? Thanks.

This.
Smart Lock has changed my life. I've paired it with my wifi, my mac, my car and my headphones for the gym. It simply works and just makes everything better.
Smart unlock can be replicated on 4.4.4 with tasker.
SkipLock also gives you similar features (along with some extras) of Smart Lock in Lollipop.

I actually had the same question and right now i am attempting a downgrade on my note 4
I'm wondering if there's a risk factor associated with downgrading. I want to do it just for the root, but should I just wait until a temp-root (at least) comes out for Lollipop?
Can I really trust $500+ dollars of technology to a computer program?
Tried getting Smart Unlock at the play store, and it says it's incompatible with my device? Verizon Note 4 retail edition, by the way. And thank you for mentioning this app. It looks like something I would need.

Yes you can trust it, as many others have done it and Odin has been used for a long time to flash firmware on Samsung phones. I have downgraded from 5.0.1 three times already with Odin with no issues. This phone has been out since Oct and there hasn't been any kind of root until this temp root came along from KingRoot. If you want root that bad, it is time to downgrade.

Smart Lock is already built into your Note 4 on Lollipop, Go to Settings>Security>Trust Agents>Enable Smart Lock Then under security click on Smart Lock and set it up. If you are talking about SkipLock from the play store, it isn't compatible with 5.0.1 as 5.0.1 has it build into the system. SkipLock only works on 4.4.4 for the Note 4.
It was worth it for me.
The only thing inconvenient about doing the down grade is you have to start all over again. But I found it worth it since now, Bluetooth and WiFi work flawlessly again. WiFi was unusable on Lollipop and Bluetooth kept disconnecting.
I can live without smart unlock...

Can you please help me on this. I've done everything that a tutorial has using odin, samsung drivers,backup,factory re-set etc etc but still get the msg FAIL. Couldn't find anyone particular who downgraded SM-910V to Kitkat on youtube either.
Pls guide me. I don't want to experiment with any ROM ...just plain downgrade to Kitkat. Cannot stand the dark/square plus usual lollipop issues.
Many Thanks in advance.

If you took the update you can not go back. The only way you can downgrade is if you did the safe upgrade if not you are stuck. From the error message it sounds like you are. Sorry.
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.

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.
Just bought an AT&T Note 4 today, I was informed it had 4.4.4, but it instead had 5.1.1, and root had been a big part of all 3 previous Note phones I've owned, so I was looking for a way to do so, seems like nothing's been accomplished yet, until I stumbled upon this. Will this work on 5.1.1 even with that locked bootloader?
http://androidromupdate.com/att-galaxy-note-4-sm-n910a-stock-firmware/
Im bot aure exactly what you are asking but from what i gather you are either wondering about downgrade or root. Either way it is not possible once the phone is on 5.1.1 you are stuck with only one way to go and thats up when and if an update comes. As for root its looking highly impossible to get our bootloader unlocked as at&t never released a developer edition of our phone which makes a reliable root impossible. I would recomend if you have the cash yo do so sell the at&t note 4 and get a tmobile note 4 which is unlocked and rootable
Was the 4.4 bootloader unlocked? It's not possible to restore 4.4 in download mode with Odin or anything?
No it is not possible odin will fail because the 5.1.1 bootloader is secure and detects all attempts to overwrite or change it and stops the process. So basically you can not touch the bootloader downgrade or root or modify the system or kernel in any way unless the bootloader is hacked or unlocked period. Sorry
P.s. if it would have been that simple (boy do i wish it was) you would find a thread on here about downgrading to 4.x.x from 5.1.1 and not so many threads about root waiting room and things like that

i was just doing some browsing and noticed that there isnt really any root for the note 5 att variant, then i found out the new cf auto root generator and it has this variant on there with the 6.0.1 version im on which is n920aucs4cpk1 baseband version it has it on the site and the 7.0 version and was wondering if anyone has tried this or not? i have seen the tethered semi root, i just picked up this phone, i have been wanting one for so long and dont want to risk a hardbrick as i have done that in the past with the s3's by accident, anyone willing to test it? i know the bootloader is locked but i am unsure if thats the only thing in the way of root or not
locked, so no rooting yet/ever. thats an old device, already 7 and 8, so doubt if anyone working on it
