U can use very few Sammy based roms from i9505 not all roms but ya its a risky
For safer side use ur forum roms
And don't use i9500 roms that myte brick ur phone

Update has unrooted my device

Hello
I updated my note 10.1 2014 to 4.4.2 today. This has unrooted my device. All the root threads in this and other forums are for JellyBean only, and are not working on my note.
Can someone help, or maybe the root thread has to be updated to include 4.4.2?
thanks so much.

thanks, but I have tried all available root methods, and it has not worked. Even the one mentioned above did not work.
thanks

Installing and updating supersu worked. I now have root.

Remember, any OTA or Stock rom flash with PC ODIN will remove root....

well i usually download my apks on my pc then put it to my sdcard......but before that i also installed busybox, then i installed safestrap and i believe i had to do i twice because the first time i didn't get the safestrap boot menu. then everything is almost the same like the older safestrap except now i can have 16gb of memory reserved for one rom :victory:

You have to have root first correct? I have not found a method for root yet. Any ideas or pointers? Every android device I have, except this one, it's rooted

Ya then you might be screwed, unless someone finds a way around it so you and many other people can root their phones.......if i were you i would try to mess around with the rooting options that i linked previously or check this out:

There are a few KK Roms that developers are posting in the Verizon Samsung Galaxy Android Development Forum. I'm currently on Bajasur's BajaRom Build 14 and it's running very smooth.

how do I root Sm a300fu 6.0.1?

The title says it all How do I root my a300fu with android 6.0.1??? Tried some different methods like cf-auto root and via twrp and kingo root but no success so maybe some of you guys know how???
Thanks in advance.

Flash TWRP with Odin, make sure you dont tick AutoReboot as stock recovery flashes itself back.
After that, download SuperSU package, flash it through TWRP, and enjoy root.

Apologies, But do you have links for exact root file to use.
Thank you kindly

Sorry for long wait in reply.
I will get onto this today when i get home and if son home as his phone.
Best wishes

cf works for me...
For me cf-auto root works. Do you used the latest from chainfires list?
If anybody is interrested I can also provide an odin-flashable, prerooted and deodexed ROM. But it will last some days...

Thank you Pluto delic, Works perfectly
Best wishes

Can anyone point me in the right direction on how I can root this samsung galaxy a300fu on 6.0.1?
