Hi,
Have you tried using HEIMDALL ? (Google it)
I used that when I did my S3 but I can't seem to find a guide for it on here :s
Anyone able to shed some light on this for me? I just can't get anything to work ( A link to some sort of Heimdall link would be good, tried Googling.

Have you tried towelroot?
https://towelroot.com/
If that doesn't work you could always use Heimdall (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=755265) and follow the China Note 3 threads here on XDA.
Never heard of or tried Towelroot. As for rooting on a Mac I was able to easily accomplish this feat with the help of a vm. Heimdall I found not the easiest thing to use tbh. No issues what so ever with setting up the vm and using Odin via Windows OS to root.
Cheers
Just got my NG2 update the other day (not sure why it took so long). But now when I go to power on Wifi I get the Knox security message:
Your phone's security has blocked an action that is not permitted. No further action is required.

Any ideas and suggestions would be much appreciated! :highfive:
I am almost positive I have read about a solution to this in the Q&A forum or the General forum. I know @churchey360 has a pretty in depth thread on this update and it may be there. Sorry I could not help more.
I am having this exact same issue. Has anyone heard of a fix yet ?

I was able to find the thread that was referenced above and use ODIN to flash the modem and WIFI works again. Other steps were recommended after but I just stopped there since everything appears to be functioning properly.
do you have a link to that handy ?

This is what I used. Just get ODOIN and flash the NG2 Modem tarball and you should get back up and running.
Found this on YouTube thought I would share here. Sorry if this is already posted.

Read this forum before trying anything.

I believe you flash the normal GS6 file not the GS6 Edge file but read thru.
Good luck.

Has anyone been able to do this with Mac yet? Jodin cant ever find the pit file

I'm sure its a virus/browser hijacker...the dates of those phoney posts are in February, and this phone didn't show up until April..
you should edit your post and delete the link so no silly reader here decides to click on it..
I have the Straight Talk Galaxy S5 (posting it here because I couldn't find a straight talk version listed and it runs on the Verizon Network)
I have been trying to root it for ages now and everything I have tried has failed. KingoRoot fails Towelroot fails.
I even tried modstrings on towelroot and keeps saying phone is not supported.
Does anybody know what I can do?

You have helped but trying to find what download to use on cf autoroot. I cannot find my model number on the list.
SM-S902L Seems to either be too new or so obscure that no root tools has the ability to root it. Should I try and contact the developer of cf-autoroot? I tried contacting geohot in regards to towelroot being unable to even do the temporary root on my model.
So if anybody has any idea which model is close enough to work with cf-autoroot I would be eternally grateful.
This thread has rooting info:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...straight-talk-variant-sm-s902l-t3162340/page2
Its really easy, but you have to have some base knowledge.
I'm in the same boat YankeeDan
I too am looking for a safe way to root into my device without bricking it! cf autoroot seems like a promising option but as you stated, there is currently no build listed for model # SM-S902L. I cant stand being stuck with Android 4.4.2 and not being able to upgrade so please post back here if you ever find a way to successfully root this device.
Thanks!
Same goes with you, if you find something please let me know.
s902l root check out my xda page
