Your asking for help so this should be in the q&a forum. It would really help to know what firmware you're on.

If you don't even realize you are asking about a SPRINT S4 in the AT&T S4 section, you should not be doing anything to your phone until you read and learn about it.

I agree. Also what are your goals for wanting root for your phone? What is it you wanna do with root?

Note: if it cannot be rooted on 5.0 then kindly make a root on 4.4.4 so those who are on 5.0 revert back to 4.4.4 via Odin (i have tried reverting back to 4,4,4 using Odin and it worked) and then can root 4.4.4 if you guys successful make root available for Verizon Note 3 SM N 900V running on 4,4,4 please let us know if there is currently any dev working on this device??
one more there is a new method knows as multiboot or something similar which is used to run dual roms on this device i had seen video on Youtube and could not sort out how to do it as i do not have root and without root nothing is possible kindly someone pay attention to this device. as its been a long time since no root>> [/SIZE][/B][/B]
Lots of us is waiting for it but there is no solution for now ...hope it ll be soon ..
Really?? Every other thread is asking the same questions.
/rant
Well.. I think at least read the other post about this topic, before posting something like this.. but anyways I'll give you a quick heads up.
Basically the main reason that root can't be done by now it's cause of Verizon blocking the bootloader on lollipop also banning the kernel from 4.4.2 where root was possible.
Another point why root hasn't been accomplished by now is cause the people who are able to accomplish that are already working for some company's who pays them to patch those kinds of vulnerability and some others are focused in his school or PhD.
So.. before posting such a request read a little bit son you can be aware of what's going on.
Cheers!
Just jumping in.... Has anybody tried Kingroot 4.0? or the new PingPong root for the s6?

I've done a bit of a research on Ping pong root... it seems it's only for note4 and s6 devices.
So I said let's give it a try who knows what might happen.. so I installed.
At first I thought it will give a message like device not supported but no actually it installs supersu but at the moment of pressing Get root! It gives me a message that supersu is not installed.
So... No. Ping Pong Root still does not work for us yet.
I'll keep up with that thread to see if it comes in handy to help us get root access.

I tried the King root dated 13 Jun, and it didnt work either.
Bummer. Was hoping since the S6 was 5.+ with root, we might get lucky. Oh well...

CF Auto Root Guide for SM-G928V ?

Hi All,
I'm having trouble finding a guide for my exact version of my 6 Edge Plus. My Baseband version is G928VVRU2BPD4. I have found this (http://forum.xda-developers.com/s6-edge-plus/general/guide-6-0-1-g928fxxs2bpd2-t3371526) but I'm not sure if it will work for me?
If someone could point me in the correct direction, or let me know if the guide that I linked to above will work for me - I'd greatly appreciate it.
Thanks!
I have the same phone and did not see my exact model on CF Auto-Root.
Anyone have any information regarding a easy root for this phone? SM-G928V

Most Verizon devices can't be rooted....
Old thread, I know, but I'm desperate. Is it still the case that this Verizon model can't be rooted? No way around it? I need to root my phone in order to do a deep scan for deleted files.

I'm also looking for a root all over the internet, Why is this model not being looked into anymore? i know the phones 2 years old, but cmon. I assume it cant be rooted because of the bootloader being locked tighter then fort knox itself. Verizon devices are notorious for having extra security.
Finally Root
Hey man, i finally got root for SM-G928V, this soluction is the app Wondershare MobileGo (PC), he have a built-in root application.

Wait what? please elaborate, The program you speak of costs money and i doubt your claims. If a root is possible it would of been posted here already.
+1 - does this Wondershare Mobile Go really works for G928V?

Nope. I downloaded it, does nothing. Cant even detect my phone. Its a waste of time. The bootloader cannot be unlocked on this model because of Verizon and no one is working on a root method because the device is already too old. Im going to sell it and upgrade to a S7 edge. Right now you can get a used S7 edge on ebay for under $250. Just avoid the verizon models.

Root available

This is probably a stupid question, but searching has led me to conflicting information.
I'm looking to get a new phone, and right now I want the LG G6. I would like to have root access though.
I'm seeing a bunch of threads about no root being available, and we shouldn't hold our breath on getting it. But I'm also seeing that it's supposedly compatible with KingRoot and One Click Root?
I don't really care about custom firmware or anything, I just want to be able to get root access. I'm in Canada, getting it from Bell, but I don't know the exact model number or anything. Can anyone confirm either way?

Only the US997 and the European H870 (sim free) can unlock the bootloader and then obtain root access, other models atm can't
Also Kingoroot and One Click Root don't work, obviously

Apps for root exploits?????

Hello everyone and I have a few quick questions. I will admit first that I am still using my AT&T Galaxy S5 and have been doing so for 4 years. I've recently been thinking about a new phone, and needing one since my battery sucks now. So, I'm looking at the Note9. On my S5 I was able to get a form of root access through an app named TowelRoot. I know I can't get full root on an AT&T phone but are there any other apps or workarounds to allow SU abilities on the Note9? My other questions is if there is not a way to get SU abilities, is there a version of Xposed, TB or anything similar that doesn't require root/SU to use the Xposed modules? Pardon if I overlooked threads with possible answers but I wanted to ask for any insight and or information. Thank you much.

Unfortunately no, they have their phones locked down. However you can get a Chinese variant, or international variant and get full root.

Ah man, that sucks. Thank you for the information and I'll try to figure out something soon.
What changed is that now there is something called secure boot that checks for root on startup so even if a app can root it wouldn't boot so its pointless so they stopped being developed
In case you haven't seen this thread yet, there is hope.
