Does this method work for N7105? IF it does, please include the relevant recovery or if not you should change the title so that it reads for N7100 only.

This method will trip your Knox counter.
Therefore you loose your warranty!

Then please add on the OP that dis method wil trip knox trigger. Sum newbies might try this method on their new fones, without knowing.
So basically this method is for those people who dont care bout the warranty or those who hv completed their warranty.

Rooting is not the same as a carrier unlock. Your device will still be locked to ATT.

[Galaxy A8] Private service not working A800F

I managed to try root method using SpaceX kernel yesterday, and grant a root access, but I think I messed up on something. :crying:
I tried to freeze and delete some stock apps like Google Music and anything else I think I don't need. And of course before I delete them, I made a backup using Titanium. But then I realize my Private mode is not working whenever I tried to activate it. It said "Failed to enable Private Mode, try again", it is not working no matter how many times I tried. And then I realize maybe because of those apps I uninstalled earlier, to be precise I think it is "com.sec.knox(something)". When I try to restore it, Titanium said I don't have a backup of it, but it is on my backup history just without the backup file (see attachment). If I'm not mistaken it can be found in Play Store, called Samsung Security Policy Update, but since it is originally come with Samsung device it is not downloadable.
I'm still trying to figure out what the actual cause for this problem, and if anyone could help, I'd be so grateful if you can share Titanium file for those apps come with "com.sec.knox" (see attachment). Or if I have to restore Stock Firmware and go back, where can I find it and how to restore it?
Thanks in advance,
Best regards

You need to flash stock firmware in order to fix! Bcoz of the custom kernel, maybe you lost the private mode functionality.

Thanks, I got back to STOCK with the Indian latest Firmware and it works fine, the Private Mode is here again. I lost root access, but I still have all of my data (picture, apps, everything) even tho I flash back the Stock ROM. And no more Red Notification on Bootloader from SpaceX kernel. I only need to find a way to reset Knox Warranty Void value if I need (hopefully not) to bring my A8 for warranty claim. :fingers-crossed:

There are multiple threads right here in the forums that offer step to step instructions for rooting your model of grand prime. Use the search function and you'll find them.
Root is similar to having administrator rights on your computer, it allows deeper levels of modification than is available on an unrooted device. There are apps available that will allow you to transfer your apps to SD card also, however most, if not all require root.

You will have to unroot your device before updating, you may then be unable to root again for some time until a new method is found.
However there are custom ROMs available for you device amongst other things.
I invite you to read through the forums for more information

Well, if you have TWRP you can just flash SuperSU flashable zip[ a guaranteed successful root with a very easy way plus if you have phone with marshmallow and above kingroot won't able to root because of new anti-root protection added so normal/kingroot won't work]

The best way to root G530H is flashing this by odin. Link here. http://d-h.st/oqFc. After flashing it flash any recovery by odin.

You have to prepare for get to recovery quickly after flashing as if you didnt manage to go to recovery the phone will reset the recovery back to stock

Root installed but not active.

Hello everyone.
My phone did a self factory reset 2 weeks ago, and root was still there, but unsuable (if i accept or refuse, it will spam the pop up and will not do anything)
I flashed CF with Odin to root it again, but was stuck on samsung logo, even after 30min, so I removed battery.
After this, I'm kinda stuck. My internal storage (or the entire phone?) is on read-only, and I can't restorecon via adb because I don't have root permissions.
Should I flash this firmware on my phone to make it back to default? (root removed, internal storage still available and data not wiped)
Is there another solution?
Thanks !

If your phone was running a stock ROM, flashing the same stock ROM with Odin should leave the data intact.

I've smashed that thanks button, will flash the ROM on my phone and will come back for updates.

Quick update : flashing the ROM solved my problems with internal storage locked and root.
But I flashed the CF again, and it did the same problem.
Is it so old that there's no method to root a Note 3 4.4.2?
I managed to do it a long time ago, but don't remember what I've used.
Any help for that?
