Hello all. I am an admitted first timer in the rooting process. I no there was a process in the past called Root De La Vega which enabled rooting without tripping KNOX. Is this process still available and will it work for Android 5.0 Lollipop? The info for my phone is as follows:
Model: SM-N900T
Android Version: 5.0
Baseband Version: N900TUVUFOL1
Kernel Version: 3.4.06005498
Build Number: LRX21.N900TUVUFOL1
Any help is greatly appreciated!
Root de la Vega only works till 4.4:

The exploit was plugged in 4.4.2.
If you really want to root Lollipop, some have said you can by downgrading with the default TouchWiz ROMs, root a version with a known exploit, then upgrade back to Lollipop:

Can someone please verify this? I'm also looking for ways to preserve Knox.
Thanks.

Interesting
I think you can get rooted device using Phil's recovery. Works perfect on 4.4.2, I shure it will be no problem with 4.4.4.

try to use chainfire's CF Root one for 4.4.2 on 4.4.4, it should work just fine since there's not much differences between 4.4.2 and 4.4.4
we will have problem rooting if we get 5.0 as there's none at the moment....
Any success in rooting n5100 official 4.4.4 rom?
Couldn't you just flash a custom recovery through Odin and then flash Super SU in recovery?
I need confirmed step by step solution for 4.4.4. Don't want to brick my n5100.

Yes. CF-Auto ROOT: http://download.chainfire.eu/317/CF-Root/CF-Auto-Root/CF-Auto-Root-kona3g-kona3gxx-gtn5100.zip
First off here are the current details of my device:
-------------------------------------------------------------
Model Number: SAMSUNG-SM-N900A
Android Version: 5.0
Baseband Version: N900AUCUEOC1
Kernel Version: 3.4.0-4335446
Build Number: LRX21V.N900AUCUEOC1
Knox Version: 2.3-------------------------------------------------------------
(Sorry I would have posted screenshots but I don't have 10 posts yet.)
I bought the phone with KitKat 4.4.2 and Baseband Version N900AUCUCNC2
Since then it has been updated through:
KitKat 4.4.4 - Baseband: N900AUCUDNJ5
KitKat 4.4.4 - Baseband: N900AUCUDNL1
and now Lollipop 5.0 - Baseband: N900AUCUEOC1
I carelessly updated my phone via Firmware Over the Air (FOTO) not knowing at the time that it would change the process for rooting the phone later on.
I have tried many tutorials and checked various threads throughout the forum for a solution but it just seems AT&T phones are extremely hard to root nowadays.
Some of the things I have tried without success are:
TowelRoot
KingoRoot
Root De La Vega
and possibly a few various other methods.
It is also possible that I may have done one of the above methods incorrectly, although I tried to follow the instructions as carefully as I could for each tutorial.
I have heard that it is easiest to root this phone while it is at KitKat 4.4.2 and I am curious if there is a way where I could downgrade the Android version and successfully root this phone. But I have also heard that AT&T patched 4.4.2 so that it was harder to root although I am not quite sure if this matters.
If anyone has any solution to my problem I would so greatly appreciate it. I want to be able to use this phone to its full potential before I get a new one.
With the 5.0 update comes a fully locked bootloader. ..which means no kernels....ever again. .
Downgrade is not possible to an older version. ..
No bootstrap recovery exists to my knowledge. ..and leaves you with no real root options. ..
Perhaps our devs could find a method. ...but support is not looking good for this older device.
You are locked up tight. ..
Very sorry. ...g
Sounds like you have a Note 3, not the 2.
What he said. Note 2 is i317 and has no lollipops
My wife bought a phone here in Mexico from TELCEL and I hate the stock ROM on it, I'm wanting something like CM or Paranoid Android etc on it.Is there a way to root a carrier locked phone from TELCEL? I can't seem to find any information as I don't know so much spanish to read tutorials about it. Even if I can't unlock it, just installing a new ROM on it would help.
Can anyone lead me in the right direction?
Phone Model: LG-D693n G3 Stylus
Provider: TELCEL
Android Version: 4.4.2
Baseband Version: MOLY.WR8.W1338.MD.WG.TC01.SP.V11.P2
Kernal Version: 3.4.67
Build Number: ALPS.KK1.AOSP.MP2.TC1SP.V1.19
Software Version: V10a_09-JAN-2015
Cheers
If you want to root the device you can follow this guide.I used PurpleDrake to root my device with firmware V10e for G3 (D855).(As long as you are still in kitkat 4.4.2 / V10a firmware you probably could use Towelroot too to root your device without using a PC).
As long as you root your device you can change the official rom with a custom one.In order to achive that you are going to need a custom recovery.You have to find the right one for your device.I am using TWRP on my device.
If something goes wrong or for some reason you want to restore your phone to official rom you can flash a stock firmware using this guide.I hope I helped you.

Sorry, just checked, same guide as above.....
Ok so I have experience rooting Samsung phones, my previous phone was the S4. Now I've seen posts saying you can't root this phone and others saying you can, so I am a little confused. Some things I've seen are the BeastMode kernel which allows you to root, but I'm not sure if it's even necessary. I'm also heard people using CF-Auto-Root on Lollipop, but chainfire's site shows it only for 4.4.4 not 5.1.1, so again I am confused.
Any help on if and how I can root would be much appreciated. Please and Thank You!!
Device Info:
Software Version: N910PVPU4COG5
Hardware Version: N910P.05
Model Number: SM-N910P
Android Version: 5.1.1
Baseband Version: N910PVPU4COG5
Build Version: LMY47X.N910PVPU4COG5
yes you can root/ cf auto root does not work on 5.1.1/ do alittle research and decide if you want pre 5.1 bootloader or if you took update to og5 then you can't use older kernel / any way you go...find a rom with root and superuser baked in....recommend hybrid x roms (sweet)...get your phone specs and decide which rom will suit your needs..

I'm facing the same issue! Have tried all the Root options, like king root, kingo Root, purple drake, one click root.
I really don't know what's happening with my device.
These are the software infos:
Android Version: 6.0
Security level date: 10-01-2016
Kernel version: 3.4.0
Build number: MRA58K
Software version: V30a-GLOBAL-SCA
Have you tried rolling back to a previous version and rooting that?
