Has anyone been able to or know how to root either one of the tablets I got them both today from at&t the 10.1 inch and the 8.0. I haven't been able to find any info on these mainly how to root and install recovery. Can't find anything device specific to these. Any info would be greatly appreciated
@slumerican35 you can only root them on kitkat, not lollipop. I believe towelroot will work for both. And the AT&T models have locked bootloaders, so unfortunately no custom kernels (ie no CyanogenMod type ROMs) and no custom recoveries

towel root worked fine for me, after odin tar. file, sm t337a kk NK2, to bad there is no custom recovery.
anyway this device seems to be owned by few people, ALSO, can 5.1 be rooted permanently? or still temp'?

i have the Verizon Note 3 on Android 4.4.4 Model Number SM-N900V with Baseband Version N900VVRUDNJ6 i took the update yesterday to 4.4.4 via the Verizon Software Utility App on my computer and was wondering if there is a verifiable and working method for a Root process for this? ive done some light research and have yet to come across anything that would help. Also awhile back i had done a towelroot and when i would restart my phone it would have a Unlocked lock icon with the word "custom" under the Galaxy Note 3 icon on the boot and now that i have taken the update it no longer has the Unlocked Lock with custom underneath it. Any suggestions on how to Root or Get Lollipop on this device? Not the familiar with all the rooting process and whatnot so anything helps!!!
There is no root method yet for 4.4.4 unfortunately

any way to uninstall the 4.4.4 and then root or go to lollipop?
Unfortunately not that I know of
Hello Gurus,
I have the Canadian S4 (I337MVLUFNI2) running stock 4.4.2. I've just downloaded the Lollipop upgrade from Koodo but did not install.
I'm looking to root and flash CM12 or other ROMs, but I'd like to try Lollipop first.
Few questions about the upgrade:
-Will I be able to root the device after upgrading to Lollipop?
-If I don't like Lolipop, can I revert to my 4.2.2 using my Kies back up ?
-If I want to be able to evert, do you recommend that I root my 4.4.2 and take a nandroid back up first ?
(Battery life is important for me. If the upgrade turns out to be disastrous as some online reports indicates, I'd like to be able to go back to 4.2.2).
-What is the recommended way to root and install recovery for my device ?
Thanks to all..
Do what I did.
Backup all files to PC
Flash lollipop firmware through Odin which you can download from sammobile
Reboot into recovery and wipe data and cache(this will erase everything on phone)
Boot up phone and setup accounts
Then once finished flash this through odin http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2293800
Flash twrp through odin
Boot up and copy files back to phone
Reboot into recovery and flash cm12 or whatever you want
So far, there is not a root method for Lollipop on the S4, nor does Xposed work for it yet (lots of issues with the way Samsung implemented ART to Touchwiz).
There is a keep root method in the S4 general Forum, which is just a way to keep root throughout the install of lollipop if you are already rooted on the current ROM you're upgrading from. I'm on my phone though so apologies for not linking it.
I'm not certain if a kies backup will restore after the upgrade, but even though the keep root method removes safestrap functionality, there is a way to get it working temporarily, which may provide some hope.
Seeing as you're using a Canadian model I don't think you need safestrap, and seeing as I do (AT&T model), I can't tell you how other recoveries will handle the situation.

Ah, didn't realize the Canadian model had a root method yet. I'm in america on AT&T and our bootloaders are locked.

Hey Zehlek, I'm coming from CM11 (details below). I'm trying to move to CM12 because CM11 is doing strange things with my GPS. Which version would you recommend that is stable for the SGH-I337M? I read the CM12 dev page, but I'm a little nervous about the whole "editing scripts" part of the process.
Current Software -
SGH-I337M
CWM v6.0.5.1
CM v11-20141112-snapshot-m12-jflte
Hey guys, I'm in a really tough situation here and would SERIOUSLY appreciate help I unrooted my galaxy s5 with the "full unroot" method in the Supersu app so that I could update my phone to lollipop but after I unrooted, i tried to update myphone via OTA but it keeps saying I can't because I modified the system in some way then I tried to reroot with kingroot but kingroot still can't root my phone so now I'm stuck without the update and no root! Please help me I want to reroot my s5 my specs are Samsung Galaxy s5 SM-G900H with XXU1ANG3 THANKS IN ADVANCE!
So which Android version are you on at the moment? KitKat or Lollipop? I had to install a custom recovery in order to be able to root Lollipop by just flashing SuperUser whereas in KitKat I would have had to use CF-Auto-Root (I'm not sure if it works on L) or TowelRoot, which unfortunately did not work on my device because I have the G900H as well.
EDIT: I just carefully re-read your post and it seems that you're still on Kit-Kat, so I would use CF-Auto-Root and ODIN in order to reroot the device. Does it trigger the knox alarm? I honestly have no idea but I sure hope it doesn't. I triggered mine because I couldn't care less about warranties in Egypt.
Okay thank you so much for your suggestion but I have another question. In case I soft brick my phone during the Odin process (which I have in the past) how do I flash it back to normal or something like that, I'm pretty new at these root methods :/ I have never installed a rom so I'm still on stock
Like the title says, I have a g900v running 4.4.2 with ank7 and it seems like that's a combo nobody else has. I had it rooted before but I believe I accidentally updated with an OTA at one point and lost root. Does anyone know how to regain root from here, or guide me to which updates I should install to get to a rootable firmware? Thanks in advance!
also, I do like 4.4.2 a little more than 5.0. My gf has 5.0 and I'm not too fond of it, but if 5.0 or 6.0 are a lot better speed-wise then I'd be ok with upgrading. I'm just not a big fan on how it looks.
Does anyone have any tips or knowledge on what I need to do to get root back?
Have you tried to root using towelroot by geohot?
you can install it just by googling towelroot and then installing it
once installed you just click make it rain and you should get root
Try this web page if it doesn't work at first
http://www.naldotech.com/how-to-fix-towelroot-phone-isnt-supported-problem/
otherwise flash using odin to a different KitKat firmware that is supported by towelroot and then root
Greetings,
I am trying to flash the latest TWRP using the latest odin on my cricket samsung galaxy s4, but get the red failed message.
1) Is there a recommended TWRP version to flash on this phone?
2) Has anyone had any luck installing Lineage OS on this version of Samsung galaxy s4?
thanks in advance for any help
If your bootloader is locked, you can only root and use touch wiz based ROMs. No TWRP no lineage OS

Thank you very much for your reply, there is not much info for the I337z . I tried using kingo root and towel root , and neither of them worked. Any suggestions as to what rooting method may work with this version of samsung galaxy s4? Also, how can I be sure if my bootloader is locked? I know ATT ( I337) has a locked bootloader.
Thanks again

No problem. Towel root and kingo root won't work, but KING root will. Here are some links that may help you:

Thank you for the help . I was able to install a custom TWRP and Lineage OS from JDCTeam, even though i337z is not on their list of supported devices. But somehow it worked .

No problem. Your bootloader is unlocked then if you got TWRP and lineage on it
