New here, need a little help with rooting...

Hi, so, I'm new here and I'm trying to root my verizon note 3 and i see a few threads saying ways but I'm not sure what to trust... I also apologize about this not being under the development thread but it wouldnt let me put it there since I dont have enough reputation points and whatnot. If you need my email, phone specs, etc, respond and I'll provide.
Much appreciated.

Thanks for such a fast response.
Baseband version: N900VVRUEOF1
Android version: 5.0 (Lollipop)
What exactly is a baseband version? I just copied that string from my phone settings, dont really know what it means

When an update gets pushed to our phones from Verizon or who ever our carrier is that changes..idk all the details I'm not an expert but they add new things and patches ect. To the phone and that will let you know what version you have. Now give me a little bit and I'll copy and paste where you should go to root you're phone, make sure the read everything and follow everything that say in the 1st post and you should be good..I've been rooting for about 6 years now since my DROID eris and just followed everything they said and never had a problem. I'm become more balley I guess now haven done it and know how to fix a bricked phone and have messed up but always manage to get it fix

This is the one you should do, it's the easiest one that's been released since we've just gained root again after like a year or longer of not being able too

Thank you!! Coincidentally my first phone was an Eris as well... Got it used for free from a friend and I only stopped using when the trackball crapped out

you can root Android version 5.0 Baseband version OF1 or OB6 with this method :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/verizon-galaxy-note-3/general/ob6-of1-n900v-note-3-verizon-oneclick-t3333569
this method is the best way to root your phone from the other two.

Sadly, this link no longer works. What is the deal-e-o with these links?
Is there a conspiracy in place to prevent upgrades from 5.0 PL1?
Do you have a more resent suggestion that might get me to 7,8 or 10?
Thanks so much

I’m looking for this as well. Please suggest the procedure for baseband version N900VVRSEPL1 on Android 5.0

U Firmware Step By Step

Would Anyone Like To Post Detailed Instructions On How To Flash The "U FIRMWARE"? .. Also (if possible) could someone include all the necessary files & give any details on the firmware (i.e. Pros or Cons).. I've seen it mentioned in a few other threads, with some people making claims that it's much smoother, also the root is more stable on that firmware. But I can't seem to find a dedicated thread on it. So if there's one out there post the link or feel free to comment instructions, any useful instructions will be added to the OP

Hi, here's something from our friends with a Verizon s7 edge, they've written a step by step on how to flash the U firmware and what to do afterwards. What You and us t-mobile users need to flash is SM- G935U (TMO region) firmware which u can find on sammobile.com. Please read the instructions carefully and best of luck with flashing. Cheers!

Yeah it will but you need to find the right one on sammobile. The one for G9535T TMO region next to itself. The the rest of the procedure is the same as described in the post i shared. I will it leave it to you to do some research on your own and find the right files. Cheers!

Hey all, best place for U firmware is THEANDROIDSOUL.COM . they also have all other Samsung firmwares. So good flashing

Does it require root to flash U on the tmo variant?
Does it trip Knox?
Thanks

Keep in mind there's also a lot in here that doesn't pertain especially if you don't need root so be careful people, this as Mag says is for Verizon but the process is the same just make sure you have the T-Mobile files if on T-Mobile. You can download at SamMobile I have a SM-G935T which is now a G35U with the new modem APK1 and have wifi calling and VOLTE in my mobile network settings and ZERO bloat which is why U firmware is desired. It doesn't have any carrier bloat because it's not for any carrier so none have installed all their bloat so it's very fast. You will lose root and everything but can redo it and reroot also.. just make sure you're getting the right files and not flashing VZW on to T-Mobile etc etc. I ALMOST did then realized lol. I Got excited. I was never going to root so none if that mattered but I tried it and after all the suggested tweaks and fixed it still ran unacceptable for me so I'm not rooted at all now. Too buggy and too many weird FCs and errors/bugs so I factory rest and flashed U and new modem and my phone has never been faster even when rooted and CPU setting tweaked etc. (Too many bugs as stated)

No because you're flashing an official firmware not a rom. No root and won't trip Knox as other have reported. This is true for all variants since it's an official firmware.

Prob not. Many people including me have done ALL of the post root modifying to make it run better when rooted with very little success. I tried every single post root method to try and get it stable and nothing made a difference and if it did it sure wasn't stable anyways. So bad that I Reodined the entire thing and started fresh and didn't root. The root is very unstable and simply not worth it. I don't need root for anything I care about anyway and my S7 Edge is plenty fast. and running the U firmware there's no bloat except like 2-3 apps which I can live with and that was one major reason to root anyway (to delete the bloat) so meh to root for me.... If you read back many have reported this. I don't need nor want root and when I saw how bad it ran I immediately re did it all. Now it's lightning fast, I get amazing LTE speeds because if the APK1 MODEM and I'm in one if the 319 cities supporting the 4x4 MIMO LTE that the APJ1 Takes advantage of. My LTE is faster than most people's wifi. So I recommend d regarding the Odin and forgetting about root. It's just too buggy and I'm by no way a noob. Been here fir 10 years so I know what I'm doing and I couldn't get it stable enough even applying every single post root suggestion. It ran like crap and wasn't even usable unfortunately. No offense to the root team whatsoever they achieved root and kudos to them it's just not established enough to be a daily driver sorry to say.
My latest LTE speed abiut 20 mins ago. Not wifi....LTE..LOL it's amazing if yoyre in T-Mobile and you're in one if the cities supporting it. I imagine everywhere in the US will sooner or later it most cities. It's relatively new but I'm getting speeds unheard of. Before this I was getting like 10 mbps download and 8 Mbps upload
Not it's more like 6p-70 and 40-70 depending in where in my city I am. It varies deoending on how close to towers and what not you are if course. But damn it's fast.. wow

is there a way to install this U firmware and then simply root it and not install all the other junk? I love it running U stock with the new modem because it HAULS ass, but I want to root so I can edit the build.prop and since you have to be rooted that's hay I ask. But the root causes all kinds of issues and post -root stuff needs to happen to get it even stable which none worked for me, a few did but it ran horrible so I immediately returned to stock and redid the U firmware. so is the something like a way to just root for file access only without it modifying anything else? I doubt it but don't know much abut the U firmware except it runs amazing until rooted at least from everything I'm reading. a couple peeps claim there's is running amazing even rooted but I have doubts...mine ran like total crap even after applying all the tweaks and kernel settings with Trickster and the like (which I know how to use very well and bought it and have owned and used it for years....any ideas? I want to edit the lcd from 640 to about 580 is all and don't want to root if it's going to bork everything up again...
TIA

Hi -
I am a person that just has to have his phone rooted. Dont ask me why, but I do. And I love custom ROMS. Since I do not really see any custom ROMS for the S7 yet,
I will settle for just rooting my S7, I was hopping someone would be kind enough to point me to the correct files needed to ROOT my phone and maybe a small odin walkthrough.
Phone info:
Galaxy S7 SM-G935T 6.0.1
Baseband G935TUVU4APK1
Build Number MNB29M.G35TUVU4APK1
Also ... what about TWRP support ? I want to be able to nandroid backup. Is there a version of TWRP out yet for the S7 ?
Thanks all !!

Follow the instructions in the O.P. of the post-root issues *exactly*. Don't skip anything and don't add anything. Trickster is not listed in it. I followed it exactly and my rooted U just plain smokes!

The answer to both of these is that since the bootloader is locked, you can't install custom recoveries which makes custom Roms a lot harder (but not impossible!) There's two that are in the Roms subforum (TEK and Echoe) but I've personally found stock U firmware + root to be the fastest/most stable.

Is your reason for "have to have root" for a specific reason or no? This root us really laggy and buggy as hell so if I were you I wouldn't do it. There's no Roms really. Well two I think but it's going to be more if a headache than the benefit of root. No one "has" to have root. What do you need that's so important by rooting. That's silly....

I'm not sure bud. I LOVE the U firmware and the APK1 modem for Tmobile have made my LTE VERY fast and the U firmware as well with ZERO bloat. I wouldn't downgrade anyway but can't answer your question, I simply don't know. Are you on ATT or something? I haven't heard of that firmware even...but I've been on Tmobile for about 6 years or so...

SM-G950W + SamPWND

Has anyone been successful with rooting the Canadian variant using SamPWND method?
I've been too busy at work to try myself up to this point but would like to root and use the XAC or CHR CSC firmware for the system.img.ext4.
This has been asked in the SamPWND root post but answers are vague at best.

I am too is eager to root my s8 sm-g950w from Rogers, I don't care about unlocking the bootloader or custom roms or any in-depth customisation, I'm fine with Samsung's skin. I just want root access to use things like "freedom" for in app purchases or "gameguardian" and other apps that benefit from root.
Hope there is a method soon

Same here I am also wondering if there is a root for the Canadian version of the s8. And maybe sometime a boot loader unlock as well
---------- Post added at 03:00 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:11 AM ----------
So apparently it's the same procedure as the 950u version I'm going to try it on mine soon and I'll let youkbkw if it works or not

It is a sm-g950u. Look at the fine print on the lower back of your phone.

sorry that is what i mean to say sm-g950u but im trying this for the sm-g950w with telus as the carrier

The actual root method (SamPWND) will work but whether I can use the Canadian firmware is what I'm wondering. I don't want to use the 950U or U1.
I'm going to try but it'll be another week before I'm home and can do it.

The actual root method (SamPWND) will work but whether I can use the Canadian firmware is what I'm wondering. I don't want to use the 950U or U1.

Same here I am also wondering if there is a root for the Canadian version of the s8. And maybe sometime a boot loader unlock as well

Thanks for letting me know. Just downloaded the Telus firmware and have been thinking about giving it a go. Will probably break down and use a US firmware at some point here. I thought I had made my peace with not having root but seeing that people have Xposed working too is pushing me over the edge to try. Not that keen on 80% battery though. Got spoiled by the battery life on my Pixel XL before it died and find I have to charge my S8 quite a bit more with fully working battery.

Hi all. Yeh the telus image did not work for me. Either. What I ended up doing to still have root is not to flash the image with flash fire. Basicly after I got super su on my phone I stopped

Interesting... Let us know if it works well. In the root thread OP it says that might not be stable or smooth

Yeh it works fairly well. In my oppinion. Only issue is chrome does this weird thing it's hard to explain but it does not crash.

What kind of issues do you have after rooting?? Everything all good just following the guide?

Yeh I unrooted yesterday because it was to glitchy for me some apps I use like air audio did not work well and a few others. and like I said earlier the telus firmware gave that locked phone error so i kept the modified firmware on it overall I don't recommend if you are given that error and using just the modified firmware. and on top of it the 80% battery was a issue also.

You were right it's glitchy and not very stable

My understanding is that we can use the 950U1 firmware to do the second method where root is more stable but I haven't tried it yet.

So your saying we just need to wait for another method?? Glitchy root isn't worth it. Sounds like there's way too many issues not to mention it being too unstable

What's wrong with using the U1 firmware for flashing the second part?
It's an unbranded/unbloated version which has all the US and Canada frequencies.
You can dial *#243203855# (or make a shortcut to the activity Preconfig with ShortcutMaster) and select XAA or XAC then select "Do not change QA" which will lock in the CSC settings permanently without switching based on the inserted sim.
As far as waiting for another method, probably not a good idea since the US root took months and many devs to come alive.

If you do Part 2 with the U1 firmware it shouldn't be too glitchy. The 80% battery remains. There's a fix for the green screen issue.
I'm not sure what is lost by switching to US firmware from the Canadian firmware, if anything.

Im with rogers. The only issue i seem to have noticed is. There is u.s. options. In settings. An xac is showing when in download mode rather than rwc like it originally was. Also bixby an samsung translation seems to not be working . I think im going to try to flash the csc file for xac from sammobile an see if that fixes any issues (radio issues)
I dont think it has anything ti do wit csc. Just checked nuff samsung apps. Heres the issue i think with some of the apps from samsung. (Samsung root security)

Hi
Getting luck with rooting Rogers s8 ??? (G950w) i try getting info but theres no clean explication for us

I don't have half of the system apps... Bluetooth and NFC wont turn on too!

Hi guys! I tried root my Huawei P9 Lite VNS-L31 like 4 months ago, and it all goes downhill from there...
I used the proper tools and stuff to root it (seen it on here how to do it properly) and i unlocked the bootloader, but not the second part.
I tried relocking the bootloader again and tried to do the whole process again and it just wouldn't root.
So i stopped trying and like 4 months went past and i still haven't found the solution!
When i try to update the phone it doesn't work and says the partition is damaged!
Soooo idk what to do, I really need help because half of the system apps that we're originally on the phone are gone, even Bluetooth wont turn on as well as NFC and some other stuff :/
(BTW i have very little knowledge when it comes to phones so don't write anything to complicated, if it is complicated i'll try to do it then )
Hopefully I will solve it with you guys

What's ur Rom now ?

I want to fix it... I cant do things with bluetooth, nfc... As i said

The easiest way it to flash custom and go back from custom to stock if u want stock ofc . Or if u don't want unlock bootloader u Can use dload or firmware finder .
U said that something says " participation damaged " . When ur phone says that ? After using dload or updator app ?
