SM-N920A 6.0.1 Rooting

Can someone please help me with this. I bought 2 of these phones at the same time in august, one was already rooted from the factory! No problem I'm using lucky patcher and all. The other will not root not matter what I do! I cant find any solid info on this.

How do you have a rooted AT&T Note 5 when no one else does yet?

Bought it that way from AT&T... Is there a way to clone one phone to the other so they are both rooted? Maybe I can copy my phone to a zip and upload it?

Can you screen shot your kernel information in settings and then about phone so I can see what it says for the rooted kernel. And copying the entire system to use it on the other phone is possible. Just depends on certain things.

I guess I should of bought a rooted one myself...........

think that no one has the root yet on this phone, so, pay attention to the instructions that forum masters will give to you. You could be a HERO for the entire Sm-n920a community and users hahahah. Btw, i don't know your knowledge about this things but yes, is possible to do this. Obvious, when someone of the biggest users will teach you how to do what you need, you could share the system clone with us!

Not to mention there's a big donation for anyone that finds a root method. So if you really have a rooted at&t note 5 there could be money coming your way.

Where's this donation? We are close, also luckypatcher works WITHOUT root. Technically we already have root, it just sucks really bad.

I could of sworn I seen a bounty for the n920a like a year ago, but now I'm not finding anything. I should look before I comment apparently. However, much respect TechNyne66. I've been following you working a root method for a while now, and great job on being close.

@TechNyne66 It looks like he been out of the game for awhile, but try to contact Dan Rosenberg aka djrbliss. If anyone can help, he can.

Do you have a username? I got another member to join in again who says he knows how to complie kernels with ease. So lets hope this gets going! Everything is layed out we just need to get the code written. Remember anything is possible when you put you're mind to it, but this is with code. Kexec has worked in the past for locked bootloaders so I don't see why my notes in theory but plausible.

@TechNyne66 He is not a member, just a man that knows kernels and exploits. He is the one that unlocked the AT&T s4's bootloader. He gave root to many Motorola devices also. He knows everything Linux and android. Contact him on Twitter, djrbliss

I shall look into it.

Can we get a system dump of your partitions? We just need your kernel zImage and I can put it together.
I'd really like to see a dump of the system partition.

Follow a guide a make a full system dump of your rooted phone and then make a nandroid backup.
Upload it to us and we can make a clone. Please!
If you have a real full root. We need your system dump to unlock at&t and Verizon both.

Chill bro I'm working on getting it from him. I've seen accident eng phones released by Samsung before so maybe it happened again.

There's no root for AT&T Note 5 SM-N920A if you are running Marshmallow with the Nov security update! If you are on this version you are screwedededed!!!! I tried every type of way to install firmwares PH4 ==> PH2 and I tried every version of firmware I could find on this planet. I have tried OGG. I have tried crashing my installation, then trying to downgrade.
Long story short; If you have an unlocked SM-N920A running Android 6.01 with Nov Security Patch I will definitely be donating to you if you upload. If you aren't a member of this forum I promise you that you are safe. The guys here will help you make a copy of the firmware which will not include your personal information. (Look for the guys with lots of Thanks, listen to them)
So if you are coming in from Google and you are wondering if you can root or downgrade now you know that you can't. I'm a beginner Android Developer who follows directions like a champion, save your time trying to downgrade it is fully blocked by the bootloader.

unlocked SM-920A upload coming soon

How to root Android 6 Marshmallow in the best way without updating to Nougat or Oreo?

Hello, I have updated my Active (Android 6) to the latest version of Android 6 via OTA:
SS-G891AUCS2AQA1
Now, I want to know what is the best way to root the phone (without updating Nougat or Oreo). Can you help me? Thank you very much.

I saw that thread, but unfortunately it says "Nougat" and apparently it is not a very stable root, it causes lower performance. I think Marshmallow is easier to root, but I'm not sure what steps to follow.

@miniminus, can you help me please?

Can someone please help me?

If you can't find it, I don't think there is a way to do it.

I just rooted the new android 11 update.
The only difference from android 10 is you should now use the newest magisk v23 rather than the older one
I followed this guide exactly except skipped all the magisk workaround stuff and just used the latest version of the magisk app to patch the boot.img

To be honest with you, I don't know if this will work for At&t, it might but I don't have the at&t model so I cannot verify for you. You can try flashing via adb sideload in recovery and see but non of us are responsible if things don't work lol

After a bit of experimentation I managed to get it to work. Although you can't just `add sideload` it since the verification will fail. You'll have to unlock the bootloader and dd some partitions manually. Then once it thinks it's the global variant you can `add sideload`. I made a thread about it https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/turn-at-t-into-a-the-global-variant.4393631/

General A WARNING TO ALL A32 4G/5G USERS (very important)

As you have seen in the title, this is a warning. DON'T root your galaxy a32, as it can take some time but the phone will lose fingerprint unlock and sim card/internet functionality because of UNKNOWN BASEBAND and IMEI error.
You can't get it to work even reflashing stock firmware, and you can't downgrade because of samsung bootloader lock. There's no TWRP for the 4g variant so you can't backup important partitions. Many people are having this problem with both 4g and 5g, as seen in the forums from those device.
If you don't want to turn ur galaxy into an AndroidPod with no sim, then don't root it, atleast for now or until magisk people bug fix it.
Assine o Abaixo-assinado
Fix MAGISK and baseband in Samsung galaxy A32!

I posted in the Magisk support forum.
I haven't opened a bug repot in github yet, cause they require the bugs to be tried on their alpha "canary" versions.
I found very old bug reports of people having the same problem with older samsungs. IDK if related. I'm still investigating and talking in the support forum.
Maybe soon I'll try flashing their canary version. I don't thinnk it will fix it but It'll help me investigate further into the partitions and such.

we could find someone that makes twrp for a32 4g, and then get a backup from someone or idk

I have TWRP for the 5G version: https://androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=325796 (not my code)

also found it for 4G: https://www.mediafire.com/file/bshjep6n3pqjt7r/twrp-recovery-a32+4g+helio+G80.tar/file (not my code again) both of these are untested from me, so try at your own risk

before you say thank you, you're welcome

ayooo thanks, test it @Mighty_Rearranger @dronkit , I'm not with my phone rn lol, here the tutorial https://unofficialtwrp.com/twrp-351-root-galaxy-a32-4g/

OK, so if I boot TWRP what do I do next? Do a backup? Erase the NVRAM?
Also I don't wanna be rude but are you sure it's for any A32 model? The tutorial says something about it being only for Q models.

Check your SM- model, if it's not a Q then just find another ROM.
Boot TWRP and install the stock ROM for the 4G version of the phone.

It should be a Q at the end.

TWRP "Autoinstaller" 3.5.2v3.2 where is it ??

Does anyone know where to get this version
TWRP Autoinstaller 3.5.2v3.2 ?
I could only find the old one 3.5.2v3.1 and no it's not on TWRP website.
Thanks in advance.

Thanks everyone

Instead of asking suitable version for your current rom, you asked for a (maybe) not exist one. Then you got the answer: nowhere => no reply.

Actually I'm asking if anyone has seen where to download the one that was used in this guy's video, he said it wasn't available from where he got it and used a different one in the download link. So I'm very skeptical
