Yup. That's pretty much in a nutshell how these things work around here. No sense in getting particularly agitated about it, if nothing else this may be a good chance to take a breather from the site for a bit while things settle down. At the very least just stick to the development forum to keep tabs on the latest roms and kernels.
What is root?
And why do I need it?

Even in the week leading up to the root being released I couldn't believe how many newbies we were getting in the forum. I guess they come in waves, and now that you can get the EVO free on contract I guess you'll just see more.

The fact that it is 99 dollars on contract brought a lot of new people to the phone.

I get tired of answering the same questions over and over but I remember I was a noob once until all the help I received.

I was curious too. I went to google images, typed in root, and the first image took me here. I'll leave it up to you to decide if you want root.

For those that did not see, Beanstown is working on the root for us, as posted in the bounty thread. He hopes to have it done by tonight. If your able, please send him some monetary love so he can get this beautiful tablet and develop for us. Thanks!

So any media purchased in media hub will still be accessible, and watchon will still work? Because when I rooted my old note 8, those quit working, meaning I never got to enjoy the watchon credit I got with it, as it expired.

Awesome!
It seems like someone in the Note 3 forum has a way to root with knox at 0x0. Hopefully that will also be an option in the future for this!

Haha yeah. Sadly it's not even out in Canada yet so I've just been waiting.
Does anyone know of a D800 flashable zip for those of us that are rooted and don't have a PC to revert back to non rooted stock? If not, I would be willing to slip someone who has the OTA a $5 bill via Paypal if they would be so kind as to make and upload it. Thanks in advance!

No, I have what is known as reverting back to stock and attempting to configure whatever needs to be configured for 6 hours trying to figure out how the hell to get my phone to stop saying "device not registered" every time I try to update..

Don't think there's any other way. Factory reset before the procedure and after to remove all traces of root.

Oh by the way i bet u had fun and was almost ready to break your phone haha. I spent a few days trying to figure it out until i had the idea to change the sim card. Was really pissing me off too. I flew my phone to the floor and decided had to figure it out.

Glad you didn't give up. I know you were frustrated for a long time.
Although, there is calming tea for the throwing the phone to the floor incident...

What is this? Negative questions month?
Am I ever going to win the lottery? Can anyone on this site predict or see the future? Did anyone see Towelroot coming? Kingo? KingRoot? Weren't people saying the same thing then?
DAMN!!...a simple yes or no would of been good...
I think people get tired of new threads being created for the same subject over and over...and over.

Or a search of the forum, or glancing at the forum subjects. There are many asking the same thing and all leading to no where. We are all waiting on the root for the Verizon Note 3 on lollipop, but continually posting in new strings the same question is becoming counter productive.
My apologies, just very frustrated with not having root...

When sources come out I believe and that won't be till after the 11th, the official release.
So is everyone just manually installing all their apps and redoing all their settings? Damn, it'll take me days! Google doesn't do a great job of restoring apps on new phones like Apple.
Sent from my SM-N910T using Tapatalk
On the s6 we rooted just by repacking the ramdisk with some scripts to install busybox and superuser and then flashing in Odin. I'm not sure if that's how it works here too but I may give it a shot.

You can use Samsung Smart Switch mobile if your old device is compatible. (Doesn't work with any LG device)

If it was posted anywhere else I wouldn't be at all surprised. But on XDA? Disappointing.
About 10 minutes
If you use Kingroot, I'm sure it will happen soon, I personally have not seen one device that Kingroot can't handle. You may just have to do it a couple of times.
Don't use chrome to download it detects this as virus or a bad file. They don't want you to root android phones.

Not everyone knows that. There are people that got the S7 that haven't had a phone with Samsung Pay so I like to let people know that there is that negative aspect of rooting. And there are plenty of people who use Tap and Pay. You don't have to be an ass to me or anyone else here.
