Just wanting to confirm if this works on Virgin Mobile SM-J700P. Pretty sure it has the same 1.4 octacore processor.

Based on simple instructions it didn't work. I've turned on developer options, debugging, OEM unlock. Might be best if the author puts all the prerequisites in the same post.

This does work on Virgin Mobile J700P. SU included. Awesome!
You might want to clarify the instructions so that inexperienced people will know that they download the file on their pc, and run it on Odin from PC. And in case, might want to explain how to open Developer options, and enable OEM, Debug mode. (Like I said, for noobs.)

Yes, confirmed working for the virgin mobile j700p

Root worked its just the recovery that didnt work on boost mobile.. i used flashfire to flash the stock rom and injected supersu after a fresh rom install.. root and flashfire works.. just no recovery.. but dont need one with flashfire..

Just another confirmation that this worked on my Boost j700p
Thank you much, Messi!
Now anyone know if xposed will work on this or will I brick my phone? I miss all the awesome tweaks such as the seek bar in the pulldown menu for youtube and Music
Edit: Looks like you need a custom recovery in order to get Xposed on the phone. In time, I'm sure someone will figure it out, for now, root is a godsend

Confirming this worked for my Boost J700P fully updated with software version J700PVPU1APF3 with Android security patch June 1, 2016. SuperSU has updated and TitaniumBackup detects root and works normally. I'm sending my part of the bounty right now.
Also contrary to some warnings - I did not lose any apps, data or settings anywhere in this process.
Messi: Please add to these instructions to the OP to make sure you're in developer mode:

[Q] Confused about my specific device

Heya guys,
I've read through so many websites and forum posts but always when I think I have found the right thing for me, the model number, baseband version and/or build number varies...
All I want to do is root my phone. If there's a safe way to do this without tripping that KNOX whatever, that would be great but not even the most important to me.
And if it is possible I would also like to get Android 4.4.4 installed. Strangely, my phone says it is up to date (4.4.2) but I'm seeing people having 4.4.4 on theirs...
If there's something like a pack to get both, the update and the root, that would be mint!
Either way, I would be very thankful if someone could point me to a place where my exact device could get its appropriate files.
Model number: GT-I9301I
Baseband version: I9301IXXUANF2
Build number: KOT49H.I9301IXCUANJ4
you have the gt-i9301i so latest version for your device is 4.4.2 , but 4.4.4 is available for dual sim variant gt-i9300i you can root it i'll post the link below and navigate through the android devloppement section and find a rom that suits you then install it
link for root : http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...overy-t-r-p-samsung-galaxy-s3-neo-gt-t2906840
Heya, thanks for the answer!
Ah, so there's also a dual sim variant. Mean that only they get the 4.4.4 update
So, on that link you gave me... do I need that stuff in the first post or is it enough for me to load and process the stuff in the second post (under 2nd Method I guess?)?
you choose which method you want to use then you're good to go
Yeah, but lets say I choose that "2nd Method ( Odin method )" - do I ALSO need that stuff from the first post (TWRP) or is that not needed then?
no just from 2nd post (odin mode)

Wuaaah, when I go into download mode, it says "Product Name: GT-i9300i"
Now which one is right? O_O
Also, are you sure the second post stuff is all I need? It looks like all I'm getting there is a new recovery, it doesn't say anything about root...?

look dude download recovery.tar and the 2 zips supersu and knox removal then put them in your phone then put recovery.tar on odin then got to download mode on your phone then plug it to your computer then click start after it's done boot in recovery (lock key + home key + volume up key ) then flash the two zips and you're done mate

Yay, everything worked as it should.

No . I personally rooted my device with cf auto root. After I launched the SuperSU it removed KNOX
Hm, I think you misunderstood my question. KNOX seems to be removed already.
But there's still that other thing with the yellow triangle (years ago, one needed 'Triangle Away' to remove it), right? Or has Samsung given up on that when they introduced KNOX?

Help with Yemen OF1 N900V root

I followed the instructions found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/ver...b6-of1-n900v-note-3-verizon-oneclick-t3333569
I downloaded ArabicTools and set my phone to USB Debugging and plugged it into my computer running Windows 7. Once the computer found the phone I clicked on Read Phone Info and it got all the info the application needed. I then clicked Root and waited. It says Device Now Flashing, Please Wait and then nothing happens except more periods being added..............My phone never restarts or anything, it just sits there like nothing is happening. When I plug my phone in it says connected as Installer, and shortly after it says connected as media device, not sure if that matters, but I figured I would give as much info as possible to try and figure out the problem.
I have tried 3 different cords after reading thru comments that maybe the cord could be the issue. Any ideas?
Look on your phone screen for a USB debugging prompt/pop-up window and then it will continue with USB debugging. Make sure you're on 0f1 firmware as well before doing the bootloader unlock.

Yes you can ... if and only if your SM- N900V has a CID beginning with 0x15.
You have to unlock the bootloader to boot anything which is not Samsung-signed; this is true for both recoveries and ROM kernels.
To unlock, you have to be rooted. Read the entire unlock thread before you start in on the unlocking process.

Root files for t-mobile s7

*Edited. I uploaded which factory firmware worked for me on a t-mobile s7 as of 10/30/2016 to dropbox if anyone needs it.
https://www.dropbox.com/sh/bjz0du5b6kyt3g7/AADETkXwGhpRMSQoI2bmrupBa?dl=0
These are what worked for me. Included is a link to the factory firmware if you screw something up.
Turn on developer options/Usb debugging. After installing your Samsung USB drivers http://stockroms.net/file/Drivers/Samsung/SAMSUNG_USB_Driver_for_Mobile_Phones.exe , plug it in. Click allow on your phone.
Put it in download mode. Open odin, click AP and choose the .tar file. Click start.
After reboot unlock the phone and open fastboot folder. Double click root.
After reboot, transfer busybox.apk or download busybox. When setting up busybox, make sure to install it to /system/xbin. Not /su/xbin.
Something goes wrong, use the same odin to flash the firmware you download from the included link. I would have included the files but their 2.1 gb.
Again, this is just what worked for me.
What follows rooting is your choice.

After you root it it automatically sets your governor as performance. It needs to be made interactive before you do anything.
This is what I did to fix the lag.

Yes sir.
If you want you can follow this steps for a completely free lag phone.
1. After flashing the eng kernel, go to PlayStore and Download Kernel Adiutor and set Gov to Interactive on both the Big and Little.
2. Download Flashfire and flash Echoed Rom.
I'm using this on my T-Mobile Vatiant.

it was because the phone updated to the pki or whatever released on 11/5/2016. I used all your files in odin at once to downgrade, then was able to proceed perfectly. thanks again
Thanks for the files. It's a shame though this device has been secured as much as it has with little development. I've always had phones with full root, customization, and control. With the root methods so far, I mean it works but there's just too many cons and I've tried everything to get performance back post root. Went back to stock in the mean time.
Is this the best and only way to Root the Tmobile variant of the S7?

Note 4 Verizon failing to update to Marshmallow

Hello everyone
Please bear me with me for I am a dinosaur that grew up with Symbian phones, then was forced to use Windows phones and now recently converted to Android, therefore not an expert in this field.
Bought the Note 4 off ebay in UK. Mobile banking app and Android Pay say my phone is rooted however Root Checker says it isn't . I have tried to update to Marshmallow through ODIN but I get the FAIL Auth error every time I try...
In settings the phone shows up as N910F however it is a N910V ... I do need help to figure out the precise model though just to make sure I am installing the correct software.
Also, I am using a Lebara SIM card (partners with Vodafone) here in UK, not sure if that matters.
Would really appreciate if someone would have the patience to guide me how to install Marshmallow on my phone, I just want a clean one and no rooting. Tried different tutorials on the internet but none worked for me or I am surely doing something wrong.
Many thanks in advance!

Hi Andy I'm also in the UK with note 4. To find out the correct model you need to boot to download mode. Power off the phone, Hold volume down + home + power together. It will boot to download mode and from there it will show you the model.
Post your correct model here and I will post the firmware with the correct steps to flash.
Hi Callum
In download mode it says N910V

https://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/download/117781/N910VVRS2CPL1_N910VVZW2CPL1_VZW/
Here is the stock marshmallow firmware for your device.
Download and unzip the firmware. Place it in odin in AP. In odin options enable auto reboot and uncheck repartition. Put phone in download mode, connect to pc and start.
Thanks for the firmware , that worked like a charm. Is it possible to install a non-Verizon version on this phone? One that does not have the Verizon preloaded apps?
Also, do you know anything about the Note 4 getting the Nougat update?

You can only flash firmware for your device which is N910V. Which means unfortunately you can only flash verizon firmware. However you can root your phone and use titanium backup to remove the bloat.
As for the N update I have read and heard rumours that we will get it but I don't have my hopes up. Even though the Note 4 is 2 years old it's still a high end device. It hasn't been officially announced yet. Only been announced for s6/s7 and future releases

1st download the firmware.
Download odin, latest version is fine but I use v3.10.6
On phone settings go to about device, tap build number 7 times until developer options is there, go on developer options and enable USB debugging.
Plug phone to pc to make sure drivers are up to date.
Once firmware is downloaded unzip it.
Power off phone and put into download mode, vol down + home + power.
Open odin and click AP, insert the firmware. Odin options should be, re partition UNCHECKED, auto reboot checked, f reset time checked.
Plug phone into pc, in odin log it will say added with blue box saying com:3 or similar.
Press start and it will flash and reboot. The first boot can loop a few times or hang on the Samsung logo for a little while it's normal.
If it hangs for more than 15 minutes remove the battery for a few minutes then power on again and it will boot.
If you get any errors or are unsure let me know.

1st download the firmware.
Download odin, latest version is fine but I use v3.10.6
On phone settings go to about device, tap build number 7 times until developer options is there, go on developer options and enable USB debugging.
Plug phone to pc to make sure drivers are up to date.
Once firmware is downloaded unzip it.
Power off phone and put into download mode, vol down + home + power.
Open odin and click AP, insert the firmware. Odin options should be, re partition UNCHECKED, auto reboot checked, f reset time checked.

Yes this is true - it is a new security thing that Samsung is diong - probably will be doing on all phones. (Started on the Note 8)
It is called "RMM STATE" - If you don't see OEM unlock in Developer Settings, you will need to wait 7 days - once you see it again - then you can flash TWRP - but to prevent it from continuing to be a problem you need to also flash a fix for the RMM State -
for a detailed description of what it means and what you can do about it - go here:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=75360965&postcount=22
Just updated to OREO and OEM unlock option has completely dissapeared. Do I unfailingly need to wait 7 days to flash TWRP? If I had to, how could I do it without reseting the phone? I mean... To get into download mode and flash TWRP I need to power off the phone, needn't I?
Help please

After 7 days, 160 hours, go to developer settings and turn OEM Unlock ON - once that is on, you can flash twrp. From this point you are set - but if you flash a custom rom, it is going to go back to the LOCK State again.
TO avoid that, yoiu need to follow the steps that I linked to in the post above your original pots - click the link to the page that explains the RMM State and the fix yoiu can flash to keep it from happening again.
Good Luck - I am in the same situation - 3 days and counting.....
Fyi

hello everybody. I got interested about this problem since my friends @yahia angelo and @corsicanu got the "only official released binaries are allowed to be flashed" problem, so we decided to search deeply about this. We found out that this problem isn't related to frp/oem unlock (even if enabled same problem comes), but to a new prop that you can see in download mode (rmm state: Prenormal). By searching in system, seems this prop is related to a new "thief" protection samsung added in latest firmwares. Let's make an example: You get the device, setup google account, all good... Then someone steals the device and wipes it... Ok. After wipe he boots, but he can't pass the setup without internet, and when he connects to internet it asks for your google account, since your account is saved in frp partition, so he can't setup. This rmm state is more than that simple frp, as it doesn't allow him to flash custom binaries to remove frp. So now let's cut to the chase: Who still doesn't have this rmm lock can avoid to get the device locked by following these two simple steps:
1. in build.prop, make sure "ro.security.vaultkeeper.feature" property is set to 0, like this:
Code:
sys.use_fifo_ui=0
ro.wsmd.enable=true
ro.security.vaultkeeper.feature=[color="blue"]0[/color]
keyguard.no_require_sim=true
ro.carrier=unknown
2. remove rlc app. To do this go in "/system/priv-app" folder with a root file manager or with twrp file manager and remove "rlc" folder.
For those who unfortunately has rmm state set to "prenormal", as this user reports, seems that by keeping your phone running without shut it off/reboot, at a certain device running time value rmm state prop will set again to "normal", so you can flash custom binaries again, if it works to you make sure to follow the above steps to not get locked again, i'll keep you guys updated about this when there will be news.
Edit:
In attachments now you can find a zip that does the job for you. So when rmm state is set back to "normal", flash a custom recovery and then flash this zip file to avoid lock again

...................odin flash fails fixed 100% solutions..................explanation to why odin fails
when your s8/ s8+ is forced rebooted by holding the power and volume down buttons or crash reboots. And when booting into download mode for some reason download mode is locked or corrupted and odin will fail even if you use official device specific firmware. So follow the steps below to fix
how to fix!
1. Boot into download mode by pressing ( power + volume down + bixby button) and stop at the screen of continue and reboot.
2. Press volume down to restart phone
3. Quickly boot back into download mode by pressing (power + volume down + bixby button)
4. Press continue
5. Congratulations fully working now
