It used to work flawlessly, but after this update, phone is not rooted after Odin installation.

Here is alot reports of cf-autoroot and cwm/twrp rooting methods doesn't work in SM-N910F. Does anyone know what is going on? I believe new software update is problem(not 5.0.1).
They work fine. Have done for me at least.
i tried to root my stock n910f with kitkat.
apparently the cf-autoroot was for 5.01 lollipop, result.. a soft brick (it could be my usb cable to tough becouse it was broken and sometimes it disconnects the phone)
so after that i got a new cable and flashed the stock lollipop rom from sammobile.
now im running lollipop and i think i am goin to try root it today
if you look at chainfires page, the cf-autoroot file is for 5.01

hi,

Plse note
Sorry but i struggling to follow your point ( post# eight ) . but i find above strange and interesting
Thanks
I have a Note 3 (SM-N900W8 - Telus) that I have had for about 6 months. I have had an original Galaxy S and an S3 which were both rooted.
My phone updated to Lollipop so I had to forgo rooting since everything I read said I couldn't root 5.0 with the new bootloader.
I read about downgrading to Kitkat 4.4.2 so I could root and yesterday I took a chance and did it. I used the official 4.4.2 ROM from Sammobile
and using Odin, I flashed it and after a few tries, I got it to work. Now that I am back on Kitkat, I tried Kingroot (the APK) and it failed to root
my phone.
De La Vega now says it can not root 4.4.2, so my question is, is 4.4.2 rootable? I have read a lot about rooting and there are so many opinions
about what works and what doesn't that I wanted to post here to see if I could get a consensus about this. I know many people are rooted
on 4.4.2, but I just want to know the best way without tripping Knox.
Thanks,
Ian
Anyway, I used Kingo Root on my PC to root my Note 3 and it worked. Knox was not tripped and everything works properly.

Thats nice
iv been out of the rooting loop for awhile, i just got a brand new replacement s4 and looking to root (DO NOT want to trip knox) (just want to root not installing custom firmware)
iv googled a bit but everything seems to be old
so just wondering if u can root 5.0.1 galaxy s4 i337m without tripping knox
if anyone has any info or links thanks
hopefully without having to downgrade!!
Its impossible (momentarily) to direct root 5.0.1
Only method is downgrading to NB1 - rooting with towelroot - then doing a keeproot update to 5.0.1
Downgrade to NB1 and root using this post HERE (Second post - second part under HOW TO GET TO ANY KITKAT 4.4.2)
To update to 5.0.1 and keep root follow this post HERE.

say right in the first link who should not use this ....i337m (which is canadian gs4)
Who SHOULD NOT use this guide?
-- SGH-I337 users with a MDB or MDL bootloader. (Don’t use this guide or you’ll be locked down for good.)
-- Anyone using another Galaxy S4 variant, such as T-Mobile, Verizon, i337m, etc...
..??
anybody ?

Im really, really sorry that i missed such an important information. My apologies.
Btw, the canadian version has an unlocked bootloader (Im pretty sure) so it has to be much easier to get lollipop
There are some more ways to root

your dont have to do all this stuff you can root it with 1 click
I know of no way to root without tripping Knox once the phone is running the latest 4.4.2 and higher.
I bought a used s4 i337m for parts and clobbered together a frankenphone that's running 5.01. SInce CF Autoroot won't work, I'll flash TWRP and supersu when I get a chance.
Oh!. By the way, the Philz Recovery method did not work on my 1 week old gt-i9500. The other method of flashing the ch root tar file through latest Odin worked to root my s4

Hi,
I hope, I put this into the right forum.
My phone is a S5 LTE Plus (G901F) with the newest original stock firmware from my provider (T-Mobile) installed. Here are the versions:
Android:
5.0.2
Basisband:
G901FXXU1BOE1
Build:
LRX22G.G901FXXU1BPA2
I would like to root it for being able to remove all the apps, that my provider pre-installed in its firmware. And also to get root access. I've already informed me about CF-Auto-Root. It sounds like it should be easy and it would work good. I have some questions due to that:
Can I root my smartphone with the versions I mentioned above? On the CF Auto Root Website it is shown, that Auto Root is based on the Build LRX22G.G901FXXU1BOK2. That seems to be a newer one, that I've installed on my phone at the moment. Could that be a reason for get problems when rooting it? Can i root it on this way?
Or should I use another solution for rooting? If yes, which one?
Does CF-Auto-Root performs a factory reset when running?
Thanks for your replies in advance.

older version of cf autoroot
CF-Auto-Root-kccat6-kccat6xx-smg901f.tar but the one on cf autoroot site works too

have fun
Thanks for your answer. Will the Phone be wiped while rooting?
Like the title says, I have a g900v running 4.4.2 with ank7 and it seems like that's a combo nobody else has. I had it rooted before but I believe I accidentally updated with an OTA at one point and lost root. Does anyone know how to regain root from here, or guide me to which updates I should install to get to a rootable firmware? Thanks in advance!
also, I do like 4.4.2 a little more than 5.0. My gf has 5.0 and I'm not too fond of it, but if 5.0 or 6.0 are a lot better speed-wise then I'd be ok with upgrading. I'm just not a big fan on how it looks.
Does anyone have any tips or knowledge on what I need to do to get root back?
Have you tried to root using towelroot by geohot?
you can install it just by googling towelroot and then installing it
once installed you just click make it rain and you should get root
Try this web page if it doesn't work at first
http://www.naldotech.com/how-to-fix-towelroot-phone-isnt-supported-problem/
otherwise flash using odin to a different KitKat firmware that is supported by towelroot and then root
