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

So the Verizon version bootloader is locked. From what I understand, that means that I can't root it. Is there any attempt to unlock it? Or work around the lock? Do any developers actually have one of these? Should I return it and get the international version? My issue is the warranty (I tend to break stuff) and the speed and coverage of Verizon's LTE network . I am missing titanium backup, overclocking, etc.
Thanks for any info.

Unlocking the bootloader and rooting are mutually exclusive. A device can be rooted without being able to unlock the bootloader.
In fact, I've found myself in the odd position once on my Tab 10.1 of replacing the bootloader and not having root access. It was easy to fix but I found that an odd spot to be in.
I can't use Odin to root it. Is there another way available?

me too
I'm sure someone will come out with a root for it eventually but, who knows when. It just came out on Verizon a couple weeks ago. Srsroot says it works but, I didn't have any luck. It just rebooted a couple of times said it was rooting and did nothing. Kinda wonder if it was just a scam to get my info. Don't have anything on it yet though.
[BOUNTY] Unlocked Bootloader for P605V
I am going to offer all of our development $30 to whomever can get a working unlocked bootloader for the Verizon 4GLTE P605V Samsung Galaxy 10.1 2014 edition. It's complete nonsense that going as far back as this post (April) that there isn't a solution....
You can root 605v with towel root.. Just rooted mine. Can't install custom recovery. But things like xposed modules works fine. Ad away works.
I think TowelRoot works on 4.4.2, and according to a Tweet and their webpage, SRSRoot works on the SM-P605v 4.3 and 4.4.2. My previously rooted P605v's screen died and I'm getting a replacement sent (I didn't want a newer tablet without the stylus). I hope that whatever OS version is on it is rootable!
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:

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.

KingRoot form chinese guys roots NK1 firmware now as well!
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

So im trying to root my Verizon note 7 with kingoroot and its not working. Can anybody help?
What is your build number? look in about phone
I thought it is not possible to root the Note 7 with kingoroot. The only method that works is OvrDriVE method and will only work if you have the PH1 build. If you have the PHE then there is no possible root and probably will never be one since no one will be developing for this device.
I searched the forums and it looks like running a bootunlocker for this AT&T phone might brick it. Has anyone successfully rooted this variant? Thanks.

I just got one of these yesterday (I had a t-mobile one before, but the screen broke a week or so ago) and thought it should be just as easy to root and put CWM or TWRP on it and then a custom rom with root, but I have been seeing conflicting information. It seems that there are only temporary ways to root it? Not sure what is different from the N910A and my old N910T, but obviously there must be something.

the n910a is not root able, and has a locked boot loader. the thing is locked down tight. you can get temp root on older version of android, but its buggy.
this is what I came to look for too
Kingroot isn't working at the moment either
And uhh.. since y'all are kinda talking about it.. a boot loader unlock & root are not the same thing..
Boot Loader unlock would be nice too but there are plenty of devices out there stock rooted that still have a locked Boot loader..
Retarded device
I got a developer edition N910V from Samsung so nice having unlocked bootloader but I got a N910A for stupid cheap and when in download mode says custom but doesn't have a lock on boot screen and the damn thing shuts off for no reason. Got the device it was in safe mode I flash with Odin and it has acted strange. I flashed it 3 times and the last time on boot says AT&T upgrade previously it would just show the android and wouldn't go into recovery without showing upgrading. Is there a possibility that the person I got from tried to root caused issues with the device and maybe it's kinda rooted... also can I clone my aboot from my N910V to this device possibly making it a Frankenstein?.....Noticed a thread called AT&T note 4 keeps freezing and rebooting that others are claimin to have the same issue... is this related and the reply about using wakelock has seamed have fixed the issue. Does this mean the processor is going out and can it be fixed? I can't let mu retarded friend use this device like this he will end up doing something and ***** about it continuing to reboot while writing a text. Thank you for your help.
