Tegra note 7 Lolipop how to root

First of all Lolipop works nice but damn tablet should work like that 2 years ago... anyway i need help how to root Lolipop 5.1 because supertool 2.7 and 3.0 don't see tablet. Thanks, have nice day.

You need to get into recovery mode with a recovery version that allows the installation of unsigned zips. Then get the latest SuperSu.zip and install that from the recovery mode.

Get the Beta if available.

Hi! I just got the Note 7 and have done the OTA to 5.1.
So now I wish to upgrade this tablet to the max! Basically - Root+ Custom ROM+ custom kernel.
Please recommend where to proceed and things to install. Do we have any custom Lollipop ROMs/kernels yet? Or atleast root? and for Root which recovery to install for 5.1?
Thanks!

Only root at the moment. Here is the TWRP Recovery http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2586432
Flash the latest superSu
For custom roms/kernels you are out of luck right now, because:
1. there are no custom roms, yet(not even for older android versions)
2. the latest custom kernel is only compatible with kitkat.
So you will have to wait for those to be updated/released.

yes it runs also on android lollipop

I know this thread has been here a while, but I'd like to know if this super tool will work on a 1988 model or only the 1640 model.
Thank you

Late to the lollipop party

Long time lurker... here goes my first post, be gentle!
I bought my s5 and rooted it a long time ago but I haven't kept up it up to date. I'm still on 4.4.2 and I think it is finally time to try 5.0
Since I'm so out of date, I want to make sure I update my phone without bricking it or losing xposed framework.
My current device's system info:
Andriod Version: 4.4.2
Build: ANCG
Kernal: 3.4.0-964333
Bootloader: G900VVRU1ANCG
Rooted
Stock ROM
Safestrap NOT installed
Xposed framework installed with these modules:
Greenify
Xprivacy
Wanam Xposed
Downloads 2SD​
With such an out of date phone, is it safe to just follow the instructions in this thread? http://forum.xda-developers.com/ver...w-to-update-to-g900voe1-5-0-keeproot-t3149784
Are there any known issues on Lollipop with xposed or any of the modules I use?
I think lollipop allows apps to access the SD card again, so I won't need the downloads 2SD module anymore, right?
I have read mixed reports of Xprivacy working on 5.0, if there is anyone using it on the Verizon S5, how's it working for you?
Thanks!

If you decide to go to lollipop any thing over bod5 cannot be rooted there are some decent roms that are flashable
roms via safestrap.

But why is rooted bod5 lollipop bad? Besides not being able to upgrade to newer versions of lollipop, did you have a bad experience with bod5?
I'm ok with not being able to upgrade further. I stayed with 4.4.2 for a long time, I have no problem staying on bod5 for awhile.. Unless there are other good reasons why lollipop Itself is not worth upgrading to.

Bog5 is the latest now I guess it was to fix stage fright but you could choose the one to your liking not much development for bod5 anymore.

You can install rooted OG5 roms. I'm running a stock deodexed OG5 build (rooted) and it's pretty smooth.
With such an out of date phone, is it safe to just follow the instructions in this thread? http://forum.xda-developers.com/veri...proot-t3149784
If you want xposed on OG5, no. It needs a deodexed rom and that OG5 is odexed. You can use this one if you want xposed on OG5: http://forum.xda-developers.com/verizon-galaxy-s5/development/vzwstock-based-tw-rom-t3178953
Are there any known issues on Lollipop with xposed or any of the modules I use?
Xposed runs but it needs a special version (just do a google search for samsung xposed lollipop). Whenever I run greenify on xposed it causes bootloops for me, but I think it might work fine for some people. Wanam xposed has a special version for lollipop so make sure to switch to that.
I think lollipop allows apps to access the SD card again, so I won't need the downloads 2SD module anymore, right?
I don't think you need it, but when you install check to see if it works. You can always downgrade.
I have read mixed reports of Xprivacy working on 5.0, if there is anyone using it on the Verizon S5, how's it working for you?
It worked for me when I ran it a few months ago, but if the reports are mixed take my success with a grain of salt.

Thank you for actually answering my questions!!
I will attempt OG5 using a deodexed version so I can install the samsung lollipop xposed. Hope I don't screw it up :-/ I've rooted and played around with a few phones before with no problems, but the last time I messed with a phone was over a year ago so I'm pretty rusty.
cheers!
edit: To use the deodexed version of OG5, did you use the muniz_ri method with FireFlash and just replace the muniz_ri ROM with the deodexed ROM? Or did you follow the instructions in this thread? Or something completly different?
Btw I'm still on 4.4.2 NCG but I have installed SS

Since you are at NCG already I think you can start with rooted odex stock. You should flash muniz_ri rooted odex stock with flashfire, it ll full wipe for default also. After that you 100% can flash any G900V lollipop rom you want with flashfire or safestrap, I choosed FF for myself. I am not sure, maybe you can flash deodex right away, but after some lurked and questions I personally did as described in first sentence. Don't forget to do backup, samsung for example. I was in your position not so much time ago.

i second that lollipop is terrible. go to 4.4.4 and stay. look in page 2 or 3 of android development for ricks rom and flash that, its the best kitkat rom and it just work way better than 5.0

Installing Franco Kernel On Nougat

How would i go installing this? Is there a stable TWRP thats compatible with nougat at the moment, also can anyone point me towards installing both the kernel and root while still keeping android pay working? Thanks for helping guys

Unless Franco has released a kernel for nougat, which I don't think he has, don't.
No, there is no "stable" release of TWRP for nougat. 3.2.1-1 is the first for nougat.

TWRP 3.0.2-1 works perfectly with Nougat, even if you are encrypted.

And starting with r30, Franco kernel works with Nougat as well.

Sky Go

Does anyone know how to get it working with root? I've tried various kernels with both SU and/or Magisk, but it airways detects root.
This is on nougat with Helios 7.4.0 and currently latest Apollo.
Any ideas?

I think thismay be to do with me using a custom ROM? Is there any way to make sky go believe this is a legit version of nougat untouched?

Any AOSP ROM for the Exynos S8?

I really want to root and install a stock ROM on this and I was also wondering if there were one click root tools like there are for Nexus devices.

In answer to the name of the post, yes there is lineage os for the exynos variant but it is in alpha stage right now, calls aren't working and it might be a while till you get a daily driver.
As for one click root, I've never heard or come across any. Current methods of root include, using Odin to flash chainfires cf-autoroot, or flash twrp and install supersu or magisk.

Can you help direct me to some instructions? I've come from Nexus devices mostly and I remember them being very easy to root so I just don't wanna mess this up.
