Well, if anyone's been following the front page recently, Geohot was able to create an apk that would root our phones that is running Kernels before June 3. Tested it myself and figured it's the easiest way to root if you're on Kitkat. This should work on most phones, if not all.
Source: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2783157
APK Download: towelroot.com
1. Download towel root apk from towelroot.com.
2. Run towel root and let it install the SU binary and reboot your phone. (With the latest update, You don't need to reboot your phone to be rooted)
3. Download and install Super SU apk version 2.0 from playstore or here.
4. Run super SU and let it update its binary by normal method (no recovery needed if super SU version is 2.0+).
[Optional]:
5. Reboot and run Super SU yet again and go to settings to move Super SU into /system as a system apk.
6. Reboot to get full root as system app.
7. Install recovery and busybox (busybox should not be installed in case of using [nut]'s dual recovery).
Steps provided by Cookie Ninja. (Modified a bit by me)
RECOVERY: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2261606
and that's pretty much it. Installed recovery, Updated my Binary through TWRP and I'm all set. :laugh: (You can update it through the normal method now. It's fixed!)
I've tested this on my Xperia Z (C6603) Locked Bootloader running 4.4.2 Stock Kitkat 10.5.A.0.230
Confirmed Working for LB 4.4.2 and 4.3.
If you're looking to root 4.4.4, please follow this guide by KingVortex
Not tried yet, but if it works ( and i think so) geohot is a genius. Again. :thumbup:

Was looking at how he did it.
Interesting indeed. Wonder how pinkie pie found that one
In case anyone is interested is using a very similar to exploit to rage Against the cage.. An old exploit
http://thesnkchrmr.wordpress.com/2011/03/24/rageagainstthecage/
This will trigger most anti viruses, can't see anything else in there that's dodgy, but it's just the brute force attack ratc that triggers them.

Thanks for that
Yeah. It works. You need only install SuperSu.apk v1.99 because this from market play cant actuall binaries.

Is this method safe, i mean, that if i unroot, i won't have problems with warranty?

Which is why you either install the APK I linked in the 1st post or you install recovery and update through that.

I thought that installing recovery was optional, thanx I'll try it :good:
I try to fix that on smart switch, after i insert the model and s/n. He show me "does not support initializing"
what should i need to do? Tnx!
It depends on what caused the problem...
In most situations its enough to flash correct firmware in Odin (you won't lose any personal data). If this doesn't solve your problem, then you should make factory reset in recovery mode.

ok.
how i know what is me correct firmware that i nedded?
tnx alot!
First of all you have to know your device model and CSC.
Model should be something like SM-N910C/F/H etc. It is written in download mode or under battery.
CSC you can find in recovery mode. It will be written on the bottom of the screen (for example: XEO/XEH/...).
Then go to www.sammobile.com and under FIRMWARE section put that informations. Choose the newest software from the list and flash it with Odin.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH ON HELPING WITH THAT!
No problem.
It is hard for me to say which exactly CSC code you have, so what can I suggest is to install this XEO 5.0.1 firmware - http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/download/47802/N910CXXU1BOE3_N910COXA1BOE3_XEO/ .
Probably it isn't your country code and it will couse some "force close" errors after boot. If so, go to recovery mode again and check correct CSC code. You will not see "dm-verity verification failed" error anymore as soon as you won't try to root or something like that. After checking correct CSC you can finally get correct firmware file and bring your device back to normal life.

It seems that your phone has Russian product code (SER).
Here is the newest firmware for this CSC:

Sure you can. But you have to chose correct firmware for your model. There is no XEO variant of N910F so you can only flash German one when 5.1.1 (or any other) is out. In most situations it will work fine without wipe, but if you want to get DBT OTA's in the future, you have to do factory reset.

sorry noobo here, how do i know which firmware is the correct one :/
Check it here:
http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/database/SM-N910F/DBT/
When Samsung release 5.1.1 ".tar" file, it will be shown on the top of the list. Then you can download it and flash to your phone. It is firmware for SM-N910F N4 DBT (Germany).
You can also flash 5.0.1 file and factory reset your phone. When 5.1.1 is available you will get OTA update.

Quite weird to hear, that Wifi, BT and GPS don't work, since I have B513 and everything works just fine, Wifi is fast, BT works with calls and other audio and GPS is accurate too. Only thing that keeps messing around since upgradeing it to B513, is Google Play, which gives me error "can't retrieve information from server" Is it just ROM-s fault or is it something about settings?
If your gp not work go to setting/aplication and find google framework services and clean data and cache then reboot fone.

Dear all,
My phone can boot on but reboot after 1 or 2 mins due to lost imei and baseband. It had worked till I updated to 6.0.1 (with firmware download from Sammobile) and run CF autoroot and many things more, sorry I cant remember whole process. My fault is not make EFS backup before doing anything.
It can boot into recovery (TWRP3.0.2) and download mode also. I know my imei, any chance for me to recover it back and make the phone work?
At least, any advice how to prevent it to reboot?
Many thanks,
Anyone using a g9280 phone could give me a working efs backup?? Thought it can help.

I just go to official Magisk topic and download Latest Magisk (version 12.0), flash it through TWRP (i'm using 3.1.0-0) and when the phone is on go too Magisk Manager at Play Store and install it.
After going through that, it just works... :silly:

I have read recently that CTC verification now fails due to unlocked bootloader, as well as it's other detections like root.
I read on the Netflix/root thread on XDA (sorry don't have link. It was on main page this past weekend) where several people mentioned that.
I'm trying to find out if relocking bootloader , can I keep twrp and root (magiask) ?

On stock rom root cannot be hide.
I tried magisk and supersu+suhide.
You can flash the newest Resurrection Remix.
Su hide and cts are OK.
