Help with Samsung Galaxy Tab 4 SMt53ONU running android 5.0.2 - Galaxy Tab 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So already spent 2 hours trying to crack my device to get it rooted without success.
I used kingroot, then I used Towelroot no luck I am not asking for anyone to do it for me
I just need some direction. Is this version even unlockable? Because I have had no luck.
Once I get it rooted I would like some advice on which rom to put on it I want to erase verything

hello everyone! today I just got my Note 3 N900a. with 4.4.2 KK today.I would like to root but I don't really know where to start as I don't want to brick this device. my G Pro is rooted and custom flashed but this is my first time dealing with Knox. so I have a few questions before I dive in:
1. Will Kingo root my Note 3 and not trip knox or UVDLV work better?..what about CF-Autoroot?.I heard sammy caught on so it might not work..but I saw that it will work but still trip knox? i'm rather confused here.. My AP is N900AUCUCNC2.
2. IF I DO GET ROOT PRIVILEGES. I know that I can't flash a custom recovery and there is an ongoing bounty to unlock the bootloader. So is it safe to use safetrap and will it affect knox? Or will safestrap remove my Recovery? (On my old S4 I did the mistake of Goomanagering a recovery and wiped my stock recovery but It still worked fine haha..just couldn't update or it would go into ODIN loop..which I could get out of) I will probably want to flash a custom de-bloated KK TW ROM if I do get the chance. I used safestrap on my old Razr M but is it different now? I sound like a total idiot right now but before the Note 3 I pretty much am a confident android power user but what scares me is that while I was using my G Pro, my friend from work had a Note 3 and he bricked it and now he's stuck using his Note 2. I don't want to make a critical mistake. If a more experienced user could guide me and show me what my options are or what I have to work with I would love you forever! XD

Best answer I can give you is to check in HERE at the ATT Note 3 forum and ask, since this is the international forum for the N900/N9005 we have limited to no knowledge of other models.
oh schitt.....can someone delete this thread..my apologies

[Q] Please help me with rooting & flashing

Hello there!
I have a Galaxy Note 3 i9005. I used to have it rooted (towelroot) but I accidentally updated the phone to version 4.4.2 which sadly removed my root. I've had my phone for about a year, and I feel it's time to spice things up with a new rom, but I find myself lost in this whole flashing jungle.
So, my questions are, is it possible for me to safely root & flash my phone? If so, could anyone point me in the right direction? I've tried searching a bunch but it's very hard to find in-depth guides explaining the process in detail. I don't even know if such a guide exists for the Note 3.
I live in Sweden so I don't think the phone has a locked bootloader if that affects anything.
Please help me.

I've rooted several new note 3 with this method..http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-note-3/general/root-root-xxufnf4-stock-firmware-knox-t2840150
I managed to root it with that method! Knox is 0x0, thanks for the pointer man
Now, I'd like to know how to flash a custom rom. I've been looking a lot at different custom roms, however I can't seem to decide which one I want. Besides, I don't even know if I'm able to flash my phone since I'm running Android 4.4.2. All guides takes for granted that you have some knowledge with flashing, which I don't.

HELP ROOTING G530W Android 5.1.1

Hello,
Is there a way to root the Samsung Grand Prime G530W on Android 5.1.1?
I've try alot of one click root but none of them are working
Can someone help ?
Thanks
Sbougie
---------------------------------
As per the information i got from samsung this is the same phone as the G530T that was rooted in another thread.
Contiuniously looking.
I'm in the same boat, have been looking for a solution to this root for the past couple of months. To my knowledge the best solution would be looking to see if the lollipop 5.1.1 has been rooted for galaxy S6, as this phone has the same platform. Hopefully someone can give you more information and a possible route guide because I've tried to unroot this phone several times using different rom versions only to have to factory restore and being locked out multiple times. I've since stopped attempting and browse for answers from time to time. Wishful thinking may give us the right answer. Gl in your search if XDA is unhelpful.
I did it with this

work like a charm

Galaxy tab SM-T537A AND SM-T337A

Has anyone been able to or know how to root either one of the tablets I got them both today from at&t the 10.1 inch and the 8.0. I haven't been able to find any info on these mainly how to root and install recovery. Can't find anything device specific to these. Any info would be greatly appreciated
@slumerican35 you can only root them on kitkat, not lollipop. I believe towelroot will work for both. And the AT&T models have locked bootloaders, so unfortunately no custom kernels (ie no CyanogenMod type ROMs) and no custom recoveries

Its easy download towel root from this website towelroot by geohot.
Now press the red symbol it looks like an opposite y press it and your device is rooted
Get Kingroot from this site, it works on lollipop.
towel root
towel root worked fine for me, after odin tar. file, sm t337a kk NK2, to bad there is no custom recovery.
anyway this device seems to be owned by few people, ALSO, can 5.1 be rooted permanently? or still temp'?
thanks guys.

Still on NE9 w/towelroot, best way to upgrade?

Hi guys! My Verizon Samsung Galaxy S5 is still running NE9 with Towelroot. I've avoided upgrading for a long time, but I'm ready to pull the trigger and finally get Lollipop. I'd like to keep root is possible. I've searched a lot of forums, but can't find anything about upgrading from a version this old. Most instructions involve "downgrading" to NE9, but I'm unsure if it would be the same for a phone that has never been upgraded past NE9. I just don't want to brick this phone because I love it! What should I even be upgrading to at this point? XDA has always been such a helpful resource in the past, I'm hoping to get some love on this. Thanks!
