New to the wonderful android world... does anyone have some insight into the state of root for the att xxuambdb variant?
Check in the ATT SGS4 Forum. There is a root available.

I rooted my Verizon S5 yesterday with TowelRoot and want to put a new ROM on it because, lets face it, Touchwiz blows. Anybody care to explain to me how to do it? Thanks in advance.
You can't. The bootloader has yet to be unlocked.
Really? Damn that sucks. Can you explain that to me too? Please

What Is Bootloader?
http://www.addictivetips.com/mobile...-bootloader-on-android-phones-complete-guide/
Bootloader unlocking should not be confused with Android rooting.
Oooh okay, so just because the device is rooted, the bootloader is still locked. Also, just as the roots for each carrier's device is different, the bootloaders are as well?

Hello, I just got a s4 and I love it. Where I got it said it is unlocked. Now how can I check to see if it is truly unlocked. Also is there like a easy guide to rooting it?:laugh:
Try a different carriers sim. It's the only way to check if it's unlocked

I just found out that Verizon Galaxy Note 3 got an unlock bootloader. They have been in the same situation with locked bootloader like us, ATT Note 3 user. I just wondering is this procedure going to work with our ATT variant?
Link to original Verision Note 3 thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/ver...l/official-note-3-verizon-bootloader-t3359370
hey can anyone inform about it???for att note 3
It's my understanding that we would need a dev aboot to flash, I am by no means a vuln expert, but I wouldn't get too excited just yet. I think we have a large hurdle that the Verizon note 3 didn't have.

Has anyone had an issue with losing SD card space after this process? My 16 gigabyte SD card will only form at 2:15 megabytes now.. I bought a brand new one and went through the process again because I screwed up and had to flash back to stock.. The new card did the same thing.

Someone in the Verizon forum said messed with their partitions. Did you attempt this on an att note? I don't think it's supposed to work for us?

You probably should ask in the Verizon forum then.

This seems to be the case.
The tool is able to change the CID on my ATT Note 3. However it's changing it to a verizon developer CID which is not recognized as a developer CID on our ATT model.
Verizon has an official developer model which is where they took the CID from. ATT has no such device so I've no idea where the creator will be able to get a valid ATT developer CID. Unfortunately I don't see this helping ATT models.
Offtopic, but does anybody oboe of a current root exploit that doesn't require downgrading?
Sent from my DROID Turbo using XDA-Developers mobile app
No, because of the locked boot loader in lollipop.
Down grading only adds about 7 minutes to the process so really not that bad.
An unlocked boot loader doesn't need a root exploit. You simply flash SuperSU. Downgrading means starting over. My wife isn't okay with that. Thanks though.

Is it the digital signing that is preventing the use of other aboot.bin t-mobile has mostly identical hardware couldn't we use the method used for the bump exploit to modify the signature and match the CID to the t-mobile aboot.bin
Unless the t-mobile and AT&T CID have the same checksums that shouldn't work. I think anyway #noob
Is TMO s7 compatible with international s7 roms or something?
No it is not compatible. Locked bootloader , no working root = no development.

Phone is stock, or buy different phone. Lots of disappointment for XDA Samsung folks

#1. They have different chipsets, even if you could flash, you would brick your device.
#2. We can't flash anything because of the bootloader right now.....
