Lost root on firmware update - Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I updated my N910U firmware and lost my root. What's the easiest way to regain my root.
I'm on baseband N910UXXU1AOC3 if that makes any difference.

The easiest way to reroot is TRWP/CWM method. Pretty much fail-proof and done 5 minutes.
Here's the link to the instructions and files you need:

I followed all of the instructions here, the only thing I don't get is, I have my root back, but I dont have SuperSU in my app drawer but it is in the app list when I go into the application manager. weird.

Nevermind, after a few reboots it all of a sudden started showing up in the app drawer

[Q] at&t I337UCUFNC1 Root?

Is there any way to gain root for most recent att s4 update? Build number is KOT49H.I337UCUFNC1
I've been asking the same question every since the update as well. I was hoping to install a Custom ROM on my phone, but I am playing it safe until it's been confirmed workable with the latest update. As a back up, I've seen people mention it's possible to rollback this update to NB1. I've had no luck so far pulling up a thread about rolling back updates, though...

Are you able to access your external SD? I too have the same Build and have lost access to my SD, can't root, or unlock, even using the Network Unlock code from AT&T. I've lost apps, it has slowed waaaaaaaaaaaay down, and the battery is not lasting, even with Powersave. I just got this phone and the guy I bought it from factory reset it. There was an update that accepted, but it stopped and said I had to restart the update for some reason. I did, but it is still 4.4.2, but now has a different Security Software Version, MDF v1.0 Release 2. It won't accept USSD codes and gives me a 'connection error invalid mmi code' message.
Are you having the same issues? I sure wish I could find something on this. Every time I try to search, it changes the I337UCUFBNCI to "Did you mean: i337ucufnb1?" I can't find anything totally, just bits and pieces. UGHHHHHH
Success, I couldn't find a step by step tutorial to fix my issue but thanks to a full nb1 .tar and a couple other files all given by contributors I was able to odin download to reset the custom icon to official then I had to odin download the full nb1 .tar. after doing this I did the ota att nc1 update and my phone is good as factory. Until I decide to root again that is.
If you would like some help let me know

I would like some help! How were you able to root fnc1? ! And is safe strap the only custom recovery that will work I'm guessing?
thanks in advance.
adam
I did not root nc1, but it is possible thanks to some very smart contributors. I was previously rooted and wanted to unroot to factory. I became unrooted but my system was still unofficial and custom which I was having a problem getting rid of so I can trade in my phone in the future for credit. Just search nc1 root on xda and you should find the info. Its a bit of a process but you should be able to figure it out. You need to odin download back to nb1 first and go from there. If you would like some additional help I can try to give some advise but I'm no expert or developer just an enthusiast

Rooting I337UCUFNC1
Hi. I have followed the threads for a while on rooting my I337. I purchased it used a month ago and really want to root it and install a custom rom. But by reading all the threads I am confused and somewhat worried I will brick it!
Can someone explain to me real clearly what software and files I should use to obtain root on AT&T I337UCUFNC1 and install a custom rom? I am ok with downgrading.
Thanks much.

Root new out of the box NK2 updated galaxy s5?

I'm trying to help a family member root their new phone. The most up to date guide I've found here is for the previous update (NI2) and I haven't seen anything for the Verizon NK2 version. Is it still possible to root this version? If so do you know where I can find out how?

It's the same thing, doesn't matter what the starting version is. You still have to downgrade to NGC

So just downgrade the kernal to NCG, root, then update the kernal using Odin? Skipping the step about flashing the OTA since its already updated?

I believe that flashing the kernel would work but you would have to work your way through a lot of FC's. I normally flash a full tar but you having a brand new phone, this probably isn't necessary but it is what I normally do ( below is the tar file I use. It is a complete internal wipe to a like new phone on NGC). Root with towelroot, download SuperSU from play store, update the binaries and reboot. I would suggest safestrap. You would need to download from play store then install busybox first. Then install safestrap and install its recovery.

I'm pretty familiar with how rooting the S5 works before updates as that is how I did mine (froze the updater and didn't have time to figure out how to safely update). What I am confused about is what I do when coming from a later software version, the guide is even called "Safely Upgrade and Root..." not how to downgrade and root, and the guide to update to lollipop seems to require already being rooted.

I told you how to root, downgrade, root, then upgrade. Plus, you need to read down a little further. See notes #4

Ok, I had found that guide before getting this new phone for my phone but didn't look at it again since I remembered that it had to be rooted already and was assuming I had to root on an earlier version hence the confusion.
Its understandable why people without root don't read it or at least don't read on down.

BOD5 to root?

I've been looking the past two days and can't figure out how to root a BOG5 phone.
Any help? Or is it even possible?

Shouldn't that be as simple as downloading 4.4.4 firmware and flashing it with ODIN?
The only thing I can successfully flash my phone with it a stock .tar to BOD5 again after I get it suck at the half download screen.

So you're on BOD5 and you try to root? what firmware you want to upgrade to? Once you provide the info I will provide the instructions.

Basically, I just want to root so I can debloat my phone. I'd like to stay on 5.0, just rooted, but I can't figure it out.
If I OTA'd to BOG5, is it possible to root still?

Currently what firmware you are running right now? If you already OTA to OE1 or OG5 you CAN'T ROOT ANYMORE. SO DON'T DO IT.

Any possible root method for G900V

Is there any possible way to root the Verizon Galaxy S5 running marshmallow? I've done tons of research looking for a method to obtain root, but it seems my variant doesn't have anything going for it. My phone is g900vvru2dpg2, and Android 6.0.1. I'm getting rather irritated with TouchWiz, I miss being able to change anything on my old Galaxy S3. Also please excuse me if I'm in the wrong section, I'm brand new to posting on this site.
Hi, bro. There is no method to root MM S5. But you can downgrade to Lollipop 5.0.1 and root it with Kingroot
Install this app from the market and look at the CID.
If it's 15xx... then the answer is "YES", there's a way to have a rooted Verizon Galaxy S5 running marshmallow.
If it's 11xx... then the answer is "NO", only LP.

Thanks, I've successfully downgraded but the root method provided didn't work for me. Now that I'm on lollipop I think it'll be easier to find support.

I had issues during the root process also. What I ended up doing was, after you click on the first bat file, the device sticks at the white screen. Go ahead & do the root process now. The device does NOT have to be booted into the OS for this to root. In fact that's the only way it works. I was able to get mine rooted using the method I linked above.
EDIT: If the root process hangs Close the bat, unplug phone pull battery and reboot phone to recovery (VolUp+Pwr+Home). In recovery wipe cache only and reboot. If phone reboots back to recovery instead, pull battery and manually reboot. Now plug phone back in and Launch Bat #3.
When the above happens you do NOT want to do a battery pull, just go on with the root process.

Thanks man. I forgot to update this thread, but I did eventually obtain root using the method after about the 3rd or 4th attempt. I guess I just missed steps each try. I am now on Lineage 14.1 with unlocked bootloader and TWRP

Well, it's simple.
You need to have MM ROM, unlocked bootloader and TWRP recovery.
If the ROM isn't rooted yet you can simply download SuperSU zip from chainfire.eu and flash it via TWRP.
Bootloader unlocking guide is here.
MM ROM is here or any other you like.

Still no root for N900V 5.0?

If not, is there anything I can do to make my phone cooler without root or a ROM?
You can downgrade PL1 to OF1 through Odin (OF1 being an earlier 5.0 build) and then root that easily with the yemen tools. After that you can unlock bootloader and flash TWRP to do whatever you want.
Is there a video on How to Downgrade? I downloaded ODIN, But I dont know where to get the downgraded files.

The other tools can easily be found in this forum. After downgrading if you really want PL1 rooted you can use the stock flashable zips that are available (and root with SuperSU after flashing)
