If you still have android 4.3 jelly bean then use root De la Vega. That version doesn't unlock the counter in Knox

Cf auto root is fine provided you accept that it will trigger Knox to 0x1.

I rooted my galaxy s4 after flashing 4.4.2 and I dont remember how I disabled knox over it and got my all root apps running. I used cf autoroot and odin.
So the procedure for note 3 will be same?

Rooting will allow root apps to work. If you want to remove knox then flash a custom rom.

As a relative newbie I find the above undecipherable. What is cf root? I just got a note 3 and none of the "one click" programs succeed. I got developer options visible and usb debugging turned on. What do I do next and where can I get cf root whatever it is. I still have twrp leftover from my s3. Any use?
Thanks for the help!

Read the thread carefully before you continue, find the suitable file for your Android version. You never provide the details of your device.
Btw, your somehow "leftover" from your S3, are not usable anymore.
Different device need different methods of rooting, recovery, and ROMS. No other device tools can be used for cross device unless with a proper code porting.
Cheers.

Android 4.3 (yuck)
Thanks in advance and yes I rooted my S3 and got frustrated when they pushed 4.3 out. I had to re-root and I never could find a launcher I liked for it. I bricked my S 3 a few times finding my way around. From advice found here I succeeded in recovering several times. I have TRW on the phone but I'm assuming it won't be that useful.

I tried to root SM-G900F international version using "1337 0 1 7380 4 0" - just hanged and didn't work though. Not comfy rooting tripping the knox so will probably leave it!
I just got the 900V (Verizon) update which caused me to lose root. I tried towelroot v3 (with the "new samsung" settings) and still says phone not supported. Anybody with a verizon phone and the new update gotten their phone to root again? If so, can you post the settings you ended up entering after clickk=ing 3 times on the welcome to towelroot v3 text?

Try to downgrade to an earlier rom with Odin and Towelroot should work again or look in the S5 Verizon forum for more tips.

I have the same issue, but how would one go about finding the launch kernel for the S5?
EDIT: spent some more time digging around on the web and I found that sammobile has all the S5 firmware you need to reflash back to stock April version.

Not if you untick auto reboot in Odin, so after the flash pull the battery and you wait 15 seconds and boot into recovery and data factory reset and reboot. Did it myself mate from NG2 to NE2
Can somebody tell me, does stay official version firmware on Phone info window and on stock CWM window (knox counter 0x0) after root with towelroot ?
Thanks forwarding on answer.

This is because your phone isn't supported by TowelRoot yet as it is a new device. But don't worry, you can definitely try the CF Auto Root.

Hey, I'm a relatively new android user, and I'm dying to root my Samsung S5 SM G900F, but it's proving to be harder than I expected.
I tried the towelroot application but it says that my phone is not supported, even though others have seemed to do this easily. Any suggestions? I use a Mac Computer as well, which doesn't make it any easier....

I have succesfully managed to downgrade to 4.4.4 from 6.0.1 latest dpd4 firmware in n910g.so for n910g bootloader is not locked at all.
Sent from my SM-N910G using Tapatalk
What 4.4.4 firmware did you flash? What steps did you make to go back to 4.4.4?
Please give us more detail.
i was first on 910godd1dpb5_INU 6.0.1 i factory reset it.wiping all data.then i moved to n910gTEl1COL3_TEL 5.1..1 australian version juct to check some people were saying that this firmware has good battery life.then again factoy reset all moved to n910g0lb1ank3_SIN 4.4.4 singapore version. and here i am. thats it.
thanks for sharing you're trial
not working on N910 C 6.0.1 N910CXXU2DPCB still locked bootloader may be next update will be with unlocked one
Weird that INU never received 5.1.1, may be this is the reason? http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/database/SM-N910g/inu/
For those who want to go back to Kitkat for whatever reasons, one can go back to 4.4.4 from 6.0.1.
Did the following steps:
1. From 6.0.1 DPD4, flashed 5.1.1 COL3 via Odin 3.10.7 with options Nand Erase All and Update Bootloader ticked.
2. After flashing, successfully booted to 5.1.1 after wiping data/factory reset thru Recovery.
3. From 5.1.1 COL3, flashed 4.4.4 ANK3 via Odin 3.10.7 with options Nand Erase All and Update Bootloader ticked.
4. After flashing, successfully booted to 4.4.4 after wiping data/factory reset thru Recovery.
It may even be possible to downgrade directly to 4.4.4 from 6.0.1, but I didn't try it.

Who said it's locked? LEL! Idiots like hard rock/ rakesh roshan doesn't count.
910g has never been locked fyi. It's mainly the exynos variants 910c and 910h
N910T is locked to Latest DOK2 BL... we dont have MM yet but would it be possible for the MM BL to be unlocked and downgradable? I guess what I mean is if MM BL was unlocked could we downgrade past 5.1.1 to 4.4.4....or only down to 5.1.1 where the previous lock was....I was just curious if a upgrade completely rewrites the BL and could possibly fix the lock problem.

Yes possibly because when i was still in later versions of 5.1.1 i can't downgrade to a lower version, it always fails. But upon upgrading to MM, i successfully downgraded to KK.

It's a shame that you first will be mislead and then you have to waste your own precious time to find out the truth.
Like I mentioned before, the cancer started in the Note 4 Telegram group, where that locked BL crap was first mentioned by that troll, then eventually it was spread here. Doesn't matter where you plant the seed of cancer it'll eventually creep in everywhere, but glad it didn't stay long.

If your S7 or S7 Edge is either a G935F or a G930F phone
then you are in luck.
There are basically two ways to root, either using one of the
many stock, almost stock or custom kernels and supersu or
you can root using CF-Autoroot method.
If your phone is a branded Tmobile, AT&T, Sprint or Verizon
then it cannot be rooted at all and will never be rooted due
to the fact that all of those phones have locked bootloaders.
Good luck,
Have a great day!
CF-Autoroot. I'll check it out. Thanks!

Hi all,
Im using an S7 Edge on Nougat.
I used odin and cf room (https://download.chainfire.eu/930/CF-Root/CF-Auto-Root/CF-Auto-Root-hero2lte-hero2ltexx-smg935f.zip) to root my device.
After the process finished, my phone rebooted but stays on the animated samsung logo.
I've done a search, and im a little lost - please help - any help is useful.
Thank you
I never used Auto Root but if you look at the chainfire page, and see the S7 Edge it is just for 6.01 and not nougat. I think that's the problem

I think that you need to flash the stock firmware for your country with ODIN. Maybe someone else can verify this?
Trying this and im getting Secure check failed (bootloader).
I'm scared and need help.. Anything?
Hi,
You have to flash a Nougat stock firmware if you wish to flash using Odin. Samsung bootloader (Knox) doesn't allow an official firmware downgrade, and IIRC that message you are getting happens when you're trying to flash an older version of Android.
Get a newer stock firmware and try again, or if you prefer you can just flash a custom recovery and flash a custom ROM (which may be faster and already comes rooted). Also next time search for a rooting method for your Android version, rooting uses of the system partition, that means if you try using an old method, there's a risk of something not working fine.
All the best,

Hi Lord,
Just did what you mentioned, you were spot on - the older bootloader caused issues with the data partition so i lost all apps/data and had to start from a scratch nougat install.
All is working now - appreciate your help, both of you - i will research more in future.
