Hi guys,
I've had this note 3 for a year now and it's waranty has finally expired. That means it's time to root!
I've never rooted a device before and to be honest I'm VERY paranoid about bricking it because it's my baby!
I've been following the ChainFire thread and install video by TK Here
I've got the MD5 file and Odin3 installed. I've booted the phone into "download mode".
The trouble I'm having is that my computer can't find a driver for the device in this mode, it shows as it's snapdragon processor / mobo "MSM8960"
After looking about for quite a while, I've realized there are A LOT of variables when it comes to rooting your phone.
Can an experienced rooter please reply to let me know if I should be OK rooting my device. Info below.
Model number: SM-N9005
Android Version: 4.4.2
Baseband Version: N9005XXUGNG1
Build Number: KOT49H.N9005XXUGNG1
Kernel Version: 3.4.0 - 1955971
Thank you for reading.

Shameless Self Bump.
Just looking for a yes or no here anyone who has good rooting history
Hiya, first of all you need drivers, go to this site:
http://androidxda.com/download-samsung-usb-drivers
Download the drivers for the note 3, I'm assuming you're using windows 7, install the drivers &reboot your computer, then connect your phone in normal mode, not download mode. Once you've verified the phone is recognised as the note 3 disconnect the phone &reboot into download mode, leave for a few seconds &connect the phone to the pc, the drivers should install for download mode. Verify on the pc that the phones recognised, (under device manager there shouldn't be an exclamation mark anywhere really) One that's done you're good to go.
An alternative method to root is using an app called towel root. It's a new way to root using an exploit &shouldn't trip knox. Read up on it very carefully though, I think some ppl are having issues with it with the note 3.
See how you get on with all that lol.

- Regarding the device's info, you can use Phone INFO ★Samsung★ app for more detailed info.
- As for rooting, you can use any method to root. I personally use CF-Auto-root. Some notes: Install driver. Set USB Debug ON. Set Reactivation Lock OFF. Recommend flashing CWM Recovery immediately after rooting.
- You can get the driver here: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/25370185/SAMSUNG_USB_Driver_v1.5.27.0.exe
Or you can install Kies so that the driver also be installed.

Thanks dude. I'll have a look at that link you posted for drivers.
But I think I'll avoid the Towel method for now if people are having trouble, already paranoid enough about bricking it!

Thanks for the help, I'm planning on using the CF auto root myself, I've not tried to install the drivers through Kies because I wasn't sure if it would try to auto update my firmware to some unrootable version. I guess it doesn't so I'll have a look at that
Sorry I'm like new as of today to rooting, I've done iPhone jailbreaks but psssh, they're nothing.
whats the CWM Recovery?
Thanks

Dont worry, Kies will not auto update without asking you. Anyway you can use the driver in the link I've given above.
Recovery is the special partition where you can backup/restore all phone firmware/data... Phone comes with the stock recovery, however its function is very limited, and you may want to use custom recovery. There are some custom recoveries available: CWM or TWRP... I personally use CWM. You can google 'CWM or TWRP recovery' for the download link.

Going to have a look at that CWM now and enjoy the freedom!

Rooting never actually bricks your phone. But flashing ROMs does.Its not hard if you have proper instructions to do it. So just be careful while flashing or messing with your phone. Anyways congrats and best of luck :good::victory:
MOD EDIT @gregbradley
Also, users should be aware that Kingo root sends your IMEI to an unknown IP address in china during the root process, you have been warned. For more information read the whole OP here
Getting ROOT rights to Android 5.0 Lollipop (KingRoot) It is not my work. Taken from a russian forum.
1.Download and install latest version of Kingroot to phone.
2.Run the application and get the Root. Important - do not restart the device, because it can lead to failure in obtaining Root.
3.Enable "USB debugging" and "unknown sources".
4.Install the latest version from the PC XZDualRecovery to get full access to reading and writing to the section System (connect your phone to a PC via a cable, run the install.bat to select a number " 1 "on the screen to confirm a request for superuser)
5.Phone will reboot automatically to recovery. Install supersu.
6.Boot
Files to root.

I've been waiting for a one click root, but everything I'm reading says this is really sketchy and no one is quite sure what it is doing.
Can anyone confirm working on Z3?
For which phone? T-Mobile?

Correct me if I'm wrong, but Kingo root is not the same as this, which is King Root?

Well, I couldnt resist. I've now got a working root with SuperSU, and have removed all I can find of the KingRoot app.
So far, seems to be working well.
Someone else tried it?

Yes I believe so. I have the Kinguser icon in my app draw, but It wont open. I deleted all files associated with King via ES Root Explorer, and cannot find anything.
I still wouldn't recommend anyone else doing this, god knows what information was sent to China upon installing it, but I really wanted root.

I tried that, it needs internet connectivity. However, the reason I allowed this was I understand that this root is based on a Ping exploit, which would need internet connecivity to work.
I figured the risk werent THAT high for me. I dont re-use passwords and no bank details stored on my phone.
Can confirm this method works.
You might want to try going in Airplane mode if you're paranoid for the Chinese. In any case, Kingroot + XZDR + SuperSU 2.49 works perfectly.
It works for me I can confirm now.I have root on lollipop locked bootloader so nice haha ? thanks

Not yet will do tomorrow, now I accidentally cleared the data of kinguser and now any app can't recognize root on my devices although it's installed, it says root denied, but şu binaries are installed, I will try tomorrow the recovery after school, if it really works I will release my ultimate sound mod I'm working since months and ofc I can test it myself and don't need any testers hope the pc cam.recognize the root on my.device and install the .bat files
Hey guys. I registered here a while ago, but this is my first post.
I recently updated my Huawei P8 Lite (ALE-L04) to lollipop. Anyways, I want to unlock the bootloader and root my phone, but to even start that I need drivers for my computer to detect my phone. I tried installing HiSuite and it couldn't detect my phone. Can anyone provide me some links on where to download the proper drivers for my computer to be able to detect my phone please? As far as unlocking the bootloader and rooting the phone, I think I can do that part (Huawei has a tutorial for it I think). Any help would be great. Thanks!
hi, try with the universal adb driver.

Thank you very much guys. I unlocked the bootloader for my phone now. Huawei only provided the tutorial for unlocking the bootloader.
I tried the rooting method for ALE-L21, but that doesn't work for ALE-L04. On one of the steps where it says I should be in a black screen recovery mode (no GUI), I get a white screen recovery asking me to connect my phone to my computer and run HiSuite. I did search around (not too deep) and couldn't find a solid method of rooting for the ALE-L04.

kingroot only works on 4.4.4, for 5.1 you have to flash supersu through TWRP
I've tried Kingo Root and it failed (before knowing that it doesn't support lollipop).
And I tried rooting my phone using this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/p8lite/general/step-step-guide-to-unlock-bootloader-t3150616
I read your assertion that "I upgraded my P8 ALE-L04 to Android Lollipop (6.0?)..."
I want to do that too, but I don't know how? Can you help me please?

Hi Everyone,
I'm looking for a way to root my Trekker-M1 Core.
I have tried having activated usb debugging:
- Rootkhp Pro 1.9
- Kingoroot
- Kingroot
- Sp flash tool but couldn't find the proper rootkit
I could find many rootkits, but unfortunately for other kinds of Crosscall Trekkers
Phone info:
CrossCall Trekker-M1 Core
Android 6.0.1
Hardware version: V1.00
Kernel 3.10.49
If someone could help me, would be wonderfull
Hi Bfreenoe. I just rooted my Crosscall Trekker M1 with Kingoroot. (I like those phones but they have too many little ****ty google apps that you can only remove with a root)
I used the official Kingo Root app that I installed on my phone.
Download on your computer or directly on your phone the Android's version of Kingo Root
Here's the link of the official website:
kingoapp.com
Then you just have to put the apk somewhere on your phone where you can find it easily.
Make sure you've got enough battery (They say 70% but I was at 60% when I did it)
And you'll need an internet connection of course.
I hope it'll work for you
Halp!!!1!!

Hi Ulf,
After loads of tries, I succeeded rooting my Crosscall Trekker M1 using iRoot v3.4.9. APK. BUT it seems quite complicated from there to either :
- install a custom recovery as this device is not supported neither by TWRP neither by CWM, as I can't get the recovery.img
- replace 'irootsu' with Supersu, Superuser or Magisk.. Staying with these chinese app omnipotent in my system doesn't really make me feel that my phone is safe and sound..
Does somebody know how to root this device using a 'cleaner' method ?
Hi all
I need to root a P9 Lite (VNS-L31) with android 7.0 / EMUI 5.0.4 to do a deep data recovery, so I absolutely need the keep data currently on the phone.
I tried to search here and on google and every guide I've found says that to root the phone the first step is always to unlock the bootloader (to allow installation of TWRP)
But this step involves a factory reset of the phone, so I can't proceed by that way
Do it's correct? Or there's another way to unlock bootloader/install TWRP or directly root the phone without losing data?
Thank you in advance to anyone can help me
Kind regards
Alessandro Barisone

You're at risk of losing your data. Sometimes a "User reset" is triggered by the rollback process.
Fifty-fifty chance

You can root your phone on Marsmallow or Nougat, no problem. Unlocking the bootloader is the first step to root access.

Unfortunately, a lot of one click root methods (including KingRoot) no longer work on A6 and above (on Huawei devices).
