I have found a method that i have used twice now, once when i got my phone, and the second when i applied the over the air update.
please note that this is just to gain root, i did not flash any recovery yet as i dont know which is the best yet this modle of phone.
i followed the method described in this link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1790104
I am using a mac so i did not need to install the USB driver, just download the files attached and started up my terminal and followed the directions.
after i did that process, i had to update the su binary, because the one that gets installed does not ask your permission before granting root access it just allows it. so the first thing to do is go to the app mark or some how download the superuser app, and run an update for the binary. after that, you can switch it over to SuperSU if you so choose...
happy hacking

How to root N900AUCUBMJ5

Hello everyone. Sorry, I'm new to rooting and the forums, but I tried searching around the threads, both here and the AT&T Note 3 threads, and I couldn't find anything about rooting AT&T version of the phone. If anyone could link me to a thread that will let me root this, please post here, or if it's unrootable, please let me know, I tried searching for it.

The only ways to root mj5 is kingo or vroot which currently isn't allowed on the forums due to the suspicion of them containing malware.

I am wondering that same thing. I have 4.3 now rooted and getting rid of root seems unthinkable. The Note 3 is so powerful when properly setup, however the only way to set it up is having root functionality. I hope something comes soon because the build I keep seeing for N900AUCUMJ5 is buggy from what I read thus far. I can not wait for a stable root.

1. Questions should go in Question and not in General.
2. For N900A actually the best place is Questions under

Hi guys.
Since none of the instruction don't work to unlocking my GT-I9500 I decided to go by unlocking by IMEI. Now, I would like to ask to those already have done by this method. What website did you trust to do it like this?
I just want to know which one really works and which one don't.
Thank you guys. I will appreciate your answer and help.

I did it already. I would like to share were I did it because im sure there are people trying and looking to unlock their device by imei. I did it thru cellunloker. I found this one and because their review on google I give a try and ended really good. Hopefully this will help somebody else. Sorry if im doing any kind of spam. Im not trying to do that, just share the way I did expecting to help somebody in the same position I was.
Have a good day/night guys

Root for US Cellular V20?

Hi all. I have tried searching and looking through posts here but haven't been able to find anything specific for this.
I am thinking about upgrading to the V20 but the one thing holding me back right now is root.
I am not really interested in custom roms and don't really think I would need twrp. I would just be looking for stock but rooted.
I have seen several posts for the unlocked US996 and the mentions that they are not interchangeable, but nothing for the US Cellular version root yet. Has anyone tried root for it yet or know if it will ever be available?
Thanks.

Samsung s8 rooting advice needed pls

Hi, I have a samsung galaxy s8 SM-G950F running on Exynos octa 8895. Bootlaoser is G950FXXU5D5FB boot laoder. I was in a traffic accident last year and lost my leg, broke my back and neck, pelvis, arm and 6 ribs and ended up in a coma. My memory has been trashed and I really need to root my phone in order to be able to record my calls as a matter of urgency.
I need have seen many threads on the forums on how to do this but as I read through the many comments I notice that there are issues with all of the methods explained. I wonder if anyone knows a link to a current and correct root method for my phone. I cannot afford to brick it and the last phone I rooted was a samsung galaxy S4, which was pretty easy compared to what I have read for the S8. Alternitavely, a better option for me would be to get someone else to do it as my brain does not work as it used to since my accident. I know one click root methods are to be avoided but I read on oneclickroot site that they will do it for a charge but I am dubious about this. Does anyone know a rooting genius who could do this for me?
I would be very grateful for any links to the latest correct root method is or contacts for anyone who would do this for me. I have read the most recent comments on xda forums for this root instructions but they seem to say that the thread should be taken down as it is no longer valid or working.
This is the link that has comments in the last few pages saying it should now be closed. It is also not very clear to follow for me either.

i edited the quote to the sake of brevity
dont freak out about the FRP lock in the link provided above my post, but its what sammy has done most recently to help avoid people stealing phones then using them. Anyways, you have to go into the bootloader and toggle the factory unlock tab. Once that is done, youll see a few files in the post that youll need to flash, one to keep the FRP from re-engaging, and the other is TWRP. Once you flash TWRP, it should be pretty self explanatory, but you will see a ton of stuff in that post thats red, underlined, has arrows pointing to it etc etc, but the vast majority of it is just the FRP lock which can be a huge PITA
Thank you for your help. Sorry I havent replied till now, I've been back in hospital with no internet.
