Hi guys, I recently lost root on my stock rom slot, but I still have a rom that is customized the way I like on one of my hdx 7 devices and it still has root. The stock rom says I have version 13.3.1.0 and yet I can't get root again. Perhaps there are too many files in my system directory? Does anyone have experience with this? Should I just leave well enough alone seeing as how I'm now down to only one kindle device in my house that actually works worth a damn.
If you still have access to safestrap, just leave it alone.

alright so after searching both here and various other sites on this question i have found nothing very helpfull...
so at the risk of being told i need to search i have to ask. I have a ATT Galaxy note I717. I did get the OTA update to 4.0. I have not yet rooted my phone but im trying to do so. Mostly so i can flash t-mobile onto it for it work properly with my 4G.
So my question is. Were is the root process for a note that already has 4.0.
I followed other instructions here http://www.androidauthority.com/galaxy-note-sgh-i717-att-clockworkmod-touch-recovery-90018/ and here http://rootgalaxynote.com/galaxy-note-root/how-to-root-galaxy-note-gt-n7000-method-2odinheimdall/.
After installing such CMW Touch i can not get it to boot to recovery. Just goes into download mode and as welll as i do not have superuser or root acces on the phone. If any one knows where i can find the procedure to gain full root access so i may start playing around that would be greatly appreciated
Wrong Model.

The second link you provided was for the International Note. That may be the problem. Use the method here: http://rootgalaxynote.com/galaxy-no...y-note-sgh-i717-icsgingerbreadeasiest-method/. I know for a fact this procedure works, as I have done it on my own Note no less than a dozen times due to the problem in my thread.
Good luck and happy rooting!
Devices:
Samsung Galaxy Note SGH-I717: Android 4.0.4, Stock, Rooted
Samsung Galaxy Player 5.0 YP-G70: Android 2.3.5, Stock, Rooted
Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus 7.0 GT-P6210: Android 4.0.4, Stock, Rooted
Asus Transformer Prime TF201: Android 4.0.3, Stock
Asus Nexus 7, 16 GB: Android 4.1.1, Stock, Rooted
It says for ginger bread rooting. I am running 4.0 and do not wish to go back to 3. Will i keep my current 4.0 with that method or will it be flashed back to ICS
nvm do appologize,,, just caught my own noob mistake... lol
seeing that you have used this method before... when i go to flash the zip file it gives me an error and says it fails... yet i have super user and root acces on the phone now?
You don't have to root your phone to flash a modem. You don't need to have CWM to flash a modem either.
You can install the modem using Odin3 and your pc.
Agreed ....
Thank you ranger ....g
Hi all,
Wondering if anyone in the community knows of a way to root this Tablet and if there are any custom roms,
It's running 4.1.2 (Jelly Bean)

Used SuperOneClick which says it has worked however none of the Root checkers say it is and the Super user apps can't update their binaries, anyone know how to properly root these tablets?
I too have purchased this tablet from ALDI, I am very happy with it. Would love to be able to root it... you know what I mean

I have successfully rooted it following the instructions from http://whrl.pl/RdvMXo
However I had to do some things a little different, (after reading the guide you'll understand my next bit)
after I clicked the restore data and it doing the restore it's meant to reboot the tablet although mine didn't so after trying this several times I rebooted it manually to which it actually worked.
My only anger towards this tablet is that it was advertised as 1.2GHz CPU when in fact it's 1GHz.
Champion! Worked for me, Only took 10min.
Now that the device is rooted, what would you suggest next?
Im not well versed on the apps, roms or other things to run on a tablet. So any ideas would be great.
My phone is rooted with Clockwork Mod and a custom rom, is this possible with the tablet?
And once again, thanks for the help

See now I haven't done anything ROM wise with my tablet as of yet because there are no ROMs that I can find for our little chinese made no name brand tablet, I'll be keeping my ears and eyes open for any ROMs I can find or ones that people have tested, I'm just not keen to test one of them myself and brick my tablet.
Hi, I need someone's help in testing a new version of my Online Nandroid script. It has built-in support for MTK based devices such as yours. If anyone would like to try the beta, please send me a PM.
Alright dunno if everyones heard already or not but Kingroot ver 4.0.1+ can root Samsung Verizon S4's running Lollipop. Thats right, Model ICH-I545 Build LRX22C.I545VRUGOC1 Android ver 5.0.1 is rootable with Kingroot 4.0.1+, The actual version of kingroot I dLd was 4.0.703 I believe but when you use it it automatically updated I believe to a 4.5.? version?
Anyway the Super-Sume app from GooglePlay store can replace & erase the Kingroot & associated apps, just takes awhile & seems like it doesn't work at first gotta pay attention because it askes for Super user access & there's a timer but I got it down.
So now I have a rooted Verizon s4 on lollipop, messin around with Torbot & the ES apps which are cooler with root & I was wondering if theres gonna be an easy way to get Cyanogen on my phone now..
I've never installed a custom rom before but this is the 3rd device I've rooted.
From what I understand the installation of Cyanogen is very device & software specific and everyone kinda gave up on the verizon s4's cause no root before.
Sooo I guess my question is does anyone know how to install a cyanogen rom on a rooted Verizon s4 running Lollipop?
I believe the issue is that the bootloader is still locked, even though the phone is rooted. So until Verizon/Samsung unlocks the bootloader, or some awesome dev can figure out a work around, there is no way that I know of to install CM or other custom roms.
If anyone knows better, please correct me.

Ah see this is why I ask, the only stupid question is the one ya don't ask!
So the bootloader ia a whole nuther can of beans..
Man that sux..
Well at least I can do transparent proxying & delete bloat ware now!
Kinda chicken about diving into the roms anyway.. I'll try it on my Kindle fire hd 8.9 first that looks way easier & the path is established.
Hey guys,
I'm already rooted and running stock OG6, but I came across this "kingroot" root application and I hadn't seen anything about it on the T-Mobile S5 forum. Does anybody know if this works on our devices?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/apps-games/one-click-root-tool-android-2-x-5-0-t3107461
Apparently it works on the S4 running lollipop.
On another note, do custom recoveries like twrp and philz still work with lollipop/OG6? I can't seem to get one to stick (at least from the phone app flashers). I haven't tried the odin method.
Thanks!
hey i was wondering if i could change to twrp from safestap, i am using a verizon samsung galaxy s4 l545 that has been rooted and running custom roms since new. right now i am currently running the safestrap version of stangfire 5.0 v2. ive never taken a over the air update from verizon ive always updated from different methods listed on xda or listed by the developers for their roms. i would like to be able to use twrp to have acess to different roms other then the safestrap ones but im not sure what is the best way to install it or what version to install. any help would be appreciated
thanks
Unless you are one of the lucky ones to have the MDK bootloader you will not be able to use TWRP.
If you don't know, the easiest way to find out is to install Samsung Phone Info from the Play Store.
If you are not on the MDK bootloader you could very easily brick your phone trying to install a custom recovery.
