Easiest Root for N915G

So, I was going to use Cf-Auroroot like I have for every other Samsung device I've got but apparently there's an issue with it for the N915G.
What I did was put the latest super su file (i used v2.40) on my external SD card and then in Odin flash the latest TWRP recovery from here - http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-edge/general/easy-steps-stock-odin-n915tuvu1anjl-sm-t2943993 (you can also use the sd card fix from here too, flash in TWRP, just install supersu, then add another flash file and install the sd card fix).
Go to recovery mode and flash super su.
I found it had an error flashing cache but a factory reset fixed this so best done BEFORE setting everything up.
Let phone reset, set it up and you now have root access with a clean install of stock rom.
Happy days.
This worked fine for me and left out the step of flashing CF-Autoroot which wasn't needed.
You will still trip Knox.
I don't know if this will work flawlessly for you or for all models, especially if the bootloader is locked, but theoretically it should.
Good luck guys, happy flashing.
And HAPPY NEW YEAR...:laugh:

Exactly the same method... I believe Twrp 2.8.5.0 and Supersu 2.4.6 were what I used to root Lollipop...

It seems to work on most variants, except those with locked bootloaders..
If it didn't I don't know why.
A lot of people have rooted their device this way....

Yes, it really was reactivation lock issue! Thanks!

You should not have many issues with 5.0.1. What you need to do after flashing the 5.0.1...you need to reset to factory setting. Im sure by now you know when upgrading..you still keep data from the kitkat. This may cause conflict and issues. At the moment the only issue i had is sometime i get that contact closed notifications. I have google this issue...seem like it happen to other phones to with early 5.0.1. For me im ok...cause it only happen very rarely...i hope a much later lollipop will fix this issues.

Yeah, that really makes sense... upgrading, and old data coming along... didnt think about that.... without xposed though..... not sure if Ill try it again!

I am interested in buying SM-N915G. does it have unlocked bootloader? if not, can it be unlocked? Appreciate advice.

Aussie 915G is unlocked. As far as I know so are all others...
Mentioned locked bootloaders as this will work on other models too...

Got my SM-915G, and got it rooted and TWRP installed following you method. It is working with AT&T and I am getting LTE data speeds, but it is struggling on voice network. hardly any bars are visible on the signal strength icon.
Is there any solution?

Possibly flashing the modem and non-HLOS.bin for AT&T.
I can't really say as I live in Oz and have no problems with voice calls...
I do find that my bars don't tend to go over 3 or more than halfway but that could be due to where I live and the crappy coverage we get here... No problem with voice calls though...

I am not sure if I can install SM-N915A modem on 915G.
Can someone confirm if that is possible, if so, what version?

tell me one thing is xposed framework and freedom app now working on note edge 915G lollipop

Nope. Better stick with Kitkat if you intend to use Freedom and Xposed.

This method trips knox?

root for NEW 4gb version of Tab 3 Pro (YT3-X90F)

Hi,
I cant find nothing about rooting the version of tab 3 pro, featuring 4gb ram and 64gb rom.
I success root this tablet, but its seems dont works very well with some apps that can't be named in this forum, so I think the root is not "full".
I follow the Magisk tutorial to root, basically install drivers, and with fastboot unlock the bootloader. Then flash supersu and Magisk, in this order.
Someboy know more about this model? we can get a full working root?
Thanks!!!

Well I just used magisk. I don't.use lucky patcher but will give it a try later. All.the apps I use have worked without issue.
Maybe worth a mention. I run my tablet unencrypted.

Q: Has anyone managed to root and install twrp in their Mi A1?

I just got my Mi A1 yesterday from a reseller here in the Philippines. I had my bootloader unlock so I am thinking about rooting or installing twrp for my device? Any inputs will be appreciated.

Pixel devices are also having the same issue...
A/B partitions are the culprit..
Magisk dev is working on getting it supported officially...
(He knows how to do it)
Just need some patience.
We might get system less root access after that...

Sounds like a music in my ears. So, were they able to make it work for pixel? Or still not yet?

Unofficially for pixel...
Someone made it working for pixel and then upload the changes to github...
Now magisk dev is working to include those changes and it will work with official app also...
We can't use that zip made for pixel as it needs to be flashed rtnw...

Nice. Hopefully, we'll get it working too. For now.. let us pray together.. ???

Is an unlocked bootloader required to install magisk root through magisk manager?

Yeah let's wait patiently...so that we can install miui 9 on it

I have TWRP, custom rom, custom kernel and root, the problem ravinder0003 has is only for him, not everyone has that problem if you need help I can help you rooting your phone

There should be penalties for resurrecting old threads (1 yr ago!) with nonsense replies. The TWRP problem is partially solved and there should be no issue with installing TWRP on this device.

Yes i think it was unlocked and locked again because i bought this on aliexpress, i think these guys do that unlock to put a global rom and later they lock again the bootloader.

yes, alot of member here already root their phone.
also for the vanced youtube you don't really need to root your phone to use it, since vanced has the non-root version of it

The 8 Pro is very customizable on XDA. Unlock bootloader and Root are easy enough...

So I'll be able to completely update my phone to whatever version is out right now out the box and be able to root and install adaway and vanced or will I need to make sure I'm on a certain build number?
I know I can easily root and grab the two apps I want but I want to make sure I'm able to keep the phone close to up to date to the build numbers oneplus is dropping

correct.
I didn't root on my current Op8p device, but I used to daily use my Op5 and root the phone while still up to date to the latest beta build.
each time after you flash the latest build which you can do from the OTA just do :
1. manually re-flash the twrp
2. flash magisk
and that's it!
modifying Oneplus devices is so easy compared to any other brand
edit : my suggestion is just unlock the bootloader when the phone first arrive, skip anything on the first setup and do the proper one after you unlock the bootloader.
that's what I did, even though I didn't root my phone

I wouldn't do that!
1. TWRP doesn't work with open beta builds, because of Android 11.
2. It's much easier to install new update with system updater (local upgrade). Don't reboot if finished. Than you go to magisk and: install --> install inactive slot (after ota). Reboot your phone and you will have the new update with root.

I have both of these.
1. Unlock bootloader.
2. Root with patched boot.img
3. Upstate to canary to pass safety net
4. Install Renovate ice
5. Install xXx
Both apps installed, all mods you could need, safety net passes, everything works.
