Sorry to be a noob to this all.. and I know this is most likely the wrong place to post this thread (this forum is huge btw)
Can someone help me.. Complete noob here, I just got myself the new GS5 and have made the switch from Apple to Android now, I only have a macbook pro and have no idea how I can root my galaxy s5 with the macbook? Can anyone help?
I am an Australian user.. who has the latest SGS 5, SM-G900I that is locked to Optus (network).
I have the latest macbook pro late 2013 edition with os x mavericks on it.
I've worked out some basics.. like I have Samsung Kies now working on the mac to do file transfer etc..
I have the developers option menu open on my GS device with USB debugging ticked..
But that's as much as I can do.. I don't know how or what program to use on my mac to perform the rooting and or what kind of rooting I need to do??
I'm not to good with terminal? or inputting commands into terminal.. complete noob with that
Can someone here.. please, please help me out and point me in the right direction.. I've looked all over google.. most info I have found though is for the GS4 or older version of android etc.
And like I said earlier.. I am overwhelmed by this forum site as it is huge and I don't know where to begin to look?
I would also like to know.. I've seen screenshots of in videos of where people have 4 + apps in their "app draw" including an internet browser..
Mine has come pre loaded with only 3 main apps in the "app draw".. these are, phone, contacts & messages + the apps button.
How can I edit/ add or remove apps in and out of that bottom app draw area, I am yet to find that option anywhere on this phone??

Hey everyone just wanted to know if anyone might have ever rooted or knows of someone who was able to root the galaxy note 3 from Japan? Currently living in Japan and I always had a rooted droid but now I'm stuck with this phone and all of it's bloatware and crap. Was hoping I can get some help or guidance on getting it rooted. Thank you in advance for any help you guys can give. If it requires doing it manually, if someone knows a good thread to learn about finding exploits to use in order to root a phone that is fine too!
Guys, I just traded in my note 7 for this edge and was wondering if I could get some help rooting it. I am at work so have had limited time to actually search for the direction but want to do it when I get off. If anyone can give me some tips and or links to pages I need to follow when rooting it also I got a promt to update my phone but I'm not sure if I should take the Ota. Here is a screen shot of the current baseband
Hello everyone!
I really hope this doesn't break any rules, and doesn't automatically get removed! I just joined this website in hopes of getting some help regarding my girlfriend's phone. She has a Samsung Note 4 (SM-N910A) that was originally AT&T and was recently unlocked (no idea how!). She attempted to setup WiFi calling with no avail, and I assume its because everything on it is still AT&T. I tried to look into how to install the stock T-Mobile items, but I'm COMPLETELY lost. If anyone has some basic info I'd really appreciate it! Not looking to do anything else with the phone aside from that.
Thank you so much in advance!

To do that you need to flash T-mobile based rom and your phone must be rooted.but sadly you have AT&T variant and there is no root method available until now.
My best suggestion will be swap your device with unlocked T-mobile variant.
Hey AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4 who is still in Android Lollipop who can temporary root with KingRoot and who has a Windows PC.
If you have a computer, and if you can root with kingroot Use the batch file on a Windows based computer. And please create the unbrick image
Please, for everyone who has a bricked AT&T Note 4
And link me to the unbrick image
Heres the files,
