Hello everyone,
I'm kind of new here in the forum but I have been around as a guest for a while. I own a Tab 10.1 3G and followed the instructions in the forum to update my tab to 4.0.4 XXLQ8 successfully. I'm so thankful to you guys.
But when I tried to gain root access after the update. It's unrooted again. It took me long enough with a little help from my friend to be able to flash CWM into the tab to be able install .zip files in the /sdcard again. But something is still wrong. With all the files I found in the forum, none has successfully given a proper root access (even though I followed the instructions exactly and did all the things needed). The thread is here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1807219
I have attached with this post 3 screenshots just to try to tell you what is going on.
1st image is BusyBox: It says my device has Root. And I have SuperUser installed in the drawer.
2nd image is SuperUser Fixer Update blah blah blah saying gaining root access failed.
3rd image is SDMaid telling me my device doesn't have root access.
So I can safely concluded that it is NOT ROOTED. BUT WHY? I did correctly everything.
I would like to know your opinion about this matter
Thank you so much
This is what I would say the best thing to do is.
1. Uninstall all su & busybox apps & preferably factory reset.
2. If your CWM version 6.x you can ignore this. Otherwise download the newest recovery for your tab from droidbasement and install using Odin. This is to make sure you don't accidentally invoke the "super bug" and brick your tablet
3. Make sure to download the zip in the sticky by Sockmonkey. Extract it and put the small flashable zip on to your tab
4. Install the root zip through Cwm. Now test by checking an app that needs root, like Titanium Backup.
To be honest it's probably easiest that if you want a completely stock rom with root just install something like tasks or toldos instead.

I found a way, finally.
This is a video instructions how to root galaxy tab 10.1 (4.0.4)
Youtube video name: Hi-Tik How TO : Root GALAXY Tab 10.1 (Android 4.0.4)
It has been there since August 23rd but I don't know how come I couldn't find it earlier. Maybe I search the wrong keywords.
Anyway, the correct Root .zip file in there really did solve the problem and now I'm running SuperSU with root access
Hi,
I am hoping someone might be able to help or at least point me in the right direction. I have 50 note 3 devices that I need to delete easylauncher.apk off or rename it.
So far the only way I have found to do this is to root the device and then rename the file. The problem I am having is that I need to connect these devices to an MDM solution which are reporting them as rooted.
I have used towelroot and cf auto root to rename the file and then unrooted using the setting in SuperSU. This hasn't worked and is still reporting as rooted.
Using Kingo Root seems to work and the MDM solution isn't saying it is rooted after unroot. I don't really want to use Kingo Root as it installs Clockwork Recovery in Chinese rather than English.
Could someone tell more why Kingo Root works and if there is a way to manual do the same thing?
Is there a way to setup one device and then produce an image of this device to use on all the others?
Can I modify the standard Samsung rom so I can just take out the easylauncher.apk file?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
You can change as desire on 1 device (by using Kingo) and reproduce the image to another devices as you have said.
Regarding Chinese CWM Recovery, you can manually flash another recovery on the first device.
On remaining devices no need to do that, because you need to flash the system image only.
Hi,
Thank you for your reply.
Just so I am clear of the steps I need to take:
1. Root device using Kingo
2. Flash English CWM
3. Unroot device
4. Do full backup in CWM
Now here is where I am getting stuck.
Do I now on a new phone just flash CWM and then restore from the backup I took? Or do I do an advanced restore and just use System restore?
I did try this after restoring the original phone to the Offical ROM and I was getting a MD5 mismatch?
What I am after is the quickest way to get 50 devices built with the EasyLauncher.apk file deleted or renamed.
Thanks again for your help.
Here are some utilties for customizing your J700P. Please note I do not own and I have not created any of these, that honor goes to the original creators. This was all put in one place by @DirtyPISTOLA.

If you do not wish to have TWRP, but wish to have root, download the CF-Auto-Root file, then download Odin. Make sure you have OEM Unlock enabled in dev settings, then boot into download mode and flash the file using Odin.
If you don't know how to flash with Odin, again, you must have OEM Unlock enabled. You would then plug in your phone booted into download mode, and click the AP tab in Odin. Then, you select the file to flash.
This also has Xposed for our device, which you can flash using flashfire on an already rooted device. If you wish to root using TWRP, follow my guide here.
It also has a boot img with adb root access and system root if you want that as well.
There is stock boot and stock recovery + stock firmware if you mess up.
This is pretty much the ultimate resource for customizing your J700P model J7. Have fun!

Dear advisors,
Iam using stock samsung note 4 SM-910G. Snapdragon 805. Android 6.0.1. Marshmallow. I need advise on to how to install magisk on my device. Can it be done? Appreciate on a step by step instruction on how do i install it.
I don' think this is the right place for this, but it't not my job to decide.
Anyways, which ROM are you using? Are you on stock TouchWiz?
No roms its just stock. Ive rooted on my note 2 previously but i wanna know how on note 4 but rooting via magisk.
So where do i need to post this question?

You should've asked in the Q&A section. Thread moderators will probably move this one as soon as they notice, don't worry, you're a relatively new user so you can't know everything yet.
By the way, you can't root with Magisk, if you're not rooted with other methods, because your bootloader is still locked and neither stock recovery or Odin would allow it. You first need to get root access by using some specific software such as ChainFire Autoroot. There are some guides available, but first you have to search for the zip file on the ChainFire website (link), pay attention to the model and check if Odin is included with the package. If it's not, just do a Google search for a fairly recent version. When you have everything you need, use this guide to root your device (link), just go to the second post for the exact procedure.
Once you're done, use some software to verify root access, then download Flashify from Play Store. Go to the TWRP website and get the latest recovery (version 3.1.1) for your device. N910G codename should be 'trlte', better verify yourself to avoid issues. You can now flash the recovery using Flashify.
You're now at a good point, your device is ready for further steps to get Magisk. I'll post the rest of the procedure as soon as you're ready, I just want to warn you that Magisk could possibly create some issues like app instability or inability to use certain services. I got rid of it after few months and flashed SuperSU instead, which is the better option in my opinion. I've never used it on TouchWiz so I can't tell you anything specific about that, you may want to backup your current ROM into an external MicroSD using TWRP, just in case.

Thank you for the advices. I did root following all those steps u gave me. For rooting i dont have a problem but its only after which when im tryin to install magisk i get error sayin that magisk only works for lollipop. Abit confused there. From my knowledge i knew that to install magisk i need to unroot superSu which i did & kept my twrp custom recovery. But somehow i cant seem to keep the twrp recovery & thats where i cant flash the 13.3v magisk.

As I thought, Magisk won't work with the stock ROM. The main issue here is the kernel, which doesn't allow such modification. ChainFire has found a workaround to bring SuperSU on TouchWiz, but the fact it's not open source doesn't allow Magisk developers to use the same method. The head developer, few months ago, said that he was working on it and he was making some progress, but apparently it's not ready yet. I think it's not worth trying again, it won't work at the moment. I suggest keeping an eye on the thread, in case there are some updates. At the moment, I recommend either using SuperSU (which I recommend anyways), or flashing a different ROM, since deodexed TouchWiz ROMs with H-Vitamin or RAM Kernel do actually support Magisk, I tried myself.

Black Shade is right about the kernel. Using the wrong kernel will cause the install to fail. I'm on an n910t3, using ramrom v3 kernel, and I'm using magisk 13.3 for Android pay and viper audio. There's an official magisk 13.3 thread on xda somewhere. You should try there as a start.

Found working magisk root method note 4 sm-n910g
Hello, I'm unsure if it'll work for you but it did for me.
1. Downloaded latest firmware from sammobile & flashed it to phone. (You can just try and find your current boot.img and skip to step 4)
2. Opened stock ROM zip & md5 file - using 7zip
3. Extracted boot.img
4. Place onto SD-CARD
5. Install Magisk apk
6. Magisk > settings > output format > change to ".tar" file
7. Magisk > patch boot.img
8. Locate "patched boot.img" > flash in Odin AP
Done
Worked for my galaxy note 4 SM-N910G
thanks, followed your instruction and it works for me. now i am able to flash magisk on my stock Note 4 though i had to surf more inform on xda using tar-Tool_Odin3-v3.10.7

Hi, I know is kind of old post here. Just wanna ask, have you try the latest version of Magisk on your note 4 SM-N910G? New version of magisk does not have the option to choose the output format to ".tar" file.

Root is not required to flash TWRP and a custom ROM.
No but OP has no PC to flash TWRP .

Do you know how to do that?

The simplest way would be to flash twrp using Odin. Then use twrp to flash the custom ROM. You'll need a computer to do this.
Kingroot does not root NOTE3 (at least not new firmwares) so far I know.

seriously? would you explain how to do that?
To flash a custom ROM, you could use Odin to flash TWRP and then flash a custom ROM from TWRP. I have used this procedure on the note 2, note 3, s3, and s4.
Afaik, only the USA note 3, other than the T-Mobile note 3, have locked bootloaders.
As above.
Some roms are rooted.
