Hello, I've been searching for a method of unlocking the boot-loader on a Samsung Galaxy Note 3 (SM-N900) without installing any custom recoveries in the process, and I unable to find a way. My goal is simply to unlock the boot-loader, then download the TWRP manager from the play store afterwards so I can install Xposed framework and so on. The note 3 is running on Android Lolipop 5.0. Any method of instruction would be appreciated. Thanks.

I have a Samsung Galaxy S5 G900R7 rooted with towelroot. I want to flash twrp custom recovery but I'm not sure which way I should do this. I tried to use twrp's Google play app but it didn't have my phone's "codename". I had a rooted s4 with twrp and cm so I'm not a complete newbie. I just need a little help figuring out how I should do this.
Please help.
So far, only Dev. Edition S5 with an unlocked bootloader can flash a custom recovery like TWRP. More than likely you have yourself a retail version of the phone with a locked bootloader like the rest of us. The closest to a custom recovery we can get is Safestrap. I dont really know if the g900r7 is identical to the g900v so i would use caution of you want to try any of the methods here in this forum for root or to flash safestrap. A quick google search for your phone didnt provide much detail about it.
Getting my note 3 from o2 UK tomorrow, 1st thing i want to do is root! Is it the same procedure as my s4 or is it completely
different, can lollipop be rooted yet? or do i have to root kitkat 1st? What is the easiest way to root/flash custom recovery?
The only other thing is i dont know what version of the note 3 i am getting yet, upgraded online, i am assuming its the N9000
cheers
So, you have plenty of time till tomorrow to do some Google searching. There are thousands of how to's on the Web.

If your phone comes with an unlocked bootloader then rooting is easy, as easy as S4, and same procedure. For Lollipop, just flash the latest TWRP (2.8.5.0) and flash the latest SuperSU zip from the recovery and you are done. No, there's no need to root KitKat first to be able to root Lollipop.
It is the same process rooting L & KK.:laugh:
i've noticed the tool "CF-Auto-Root" is not compatible with the SM-G900V(Verizon Galaxy S5) phone model, does anyone know why this is? And if anyone is aware of a tool that could root said phone running 6.0.1 could you please comment the tool
Thanks for your time
Currently there is no way to root stock mm on s5 verizon
but you can be rooted on lollipop and bootloader unlock on lollipop
then install custom recovery then install a prerooted mm ROM that is currently the only way
Can this even be done? I'm trying to install the xposed framework for my Samsung Galaxy plus, but I can't seem to find a single guide on how to unlock the bootloader in order to install custom recovery through TWRP. Any help would be appreciated.

The bootloader is already unlocked, simply flash twrp via odin.

he means deodexing ?! I also have problems installing Xposed Framework. Can not you get around playing a deodextes ROM? I have the original firmware on it. (Sorry, translated by Google translator from German) Thanks
Dear ladies and gentlemen.
I went through the forum and did not find how to unlock the bootloader in my Samsung Core Prime model SM-G360F. Could somebody of you please upload an application suitable for it?
I want to root it and install another ROM. I have installed KingRoot and successfully rooted my phone.
Is it necessary to unlock the bootloader before rooting the phone? Do I need to unlock it and when (before or after rooting)?
Thank you for your kind responses.

Unlike Sony, Samsung devices don't have bootloader. Just flash recovery through Odin and root with SuperSU zip.

On Samsung devices, it's useless to unlock bootloader, because there's no bootloader. You can flash TWRP on it just with ODIN (it's like fastboot, but isn't )
