Can not get my note 3 to root using towel v2 - Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3

Every time I go to root my phone with the single click whether I use v1 or v2 my phone reboots and does not root. Any suggestions as what to do

Go to the thread and get support there
Probably faster

I had a similar issue... I had an ota update when I checked... It put me on the following software / kernel
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
After that update, towel root worked for me.

I am simply the messenger. I do not guarantee this will work always. Any modifications you do to your phone is your own risk. Many people have reported it works. Your setup may be slightly different than others. I'm not trying to be a jerk, but once you decide you want to try it, you accept the chance that your phone could end up a paperweight. I'm not saying it's your fault, but I am saying that you are testing possible dangerous waters by trying things that aren't approved by sprint. It's a gamble that all of us have to decide if it's worth it. I don't promise anything, i'm simply offering more information.

You may have heard some of us talk about our mysterious day-jobs. Now is the time for us to tell what we've been working on. We've been creating an encrypted telephone, in software, on the XDA.
The following links tell more:

thumbs up
That's impressive.
Good work ... do not have such a requirement for now but it's good to be out there.
And since "our" developers are in front line ... it's even better.

This CryptoPhone reminded me about a question I 4got to ask...
When ever i make a call, for about the first 5 seconds (sumtimes longer or shorter)... I can hear other ppls conversations....so i was wondering, is there any software to make the device into sum sort of scanner? 8)
I dont think I will be ordering one as the price seems to be aimed at industrialist multi millionaires and the like. I do admire the fact that the spooks have no access but I dont know how long that will last as I am sure that as we speak some beaurocrat is wording the legislation to outlaw it on the basis that it threatens security or some such nonsense.

[OTA] OTA_Shooter_S_Sprint_WWE_2.17.651.5-2.08.651.3

FLASH AT YOUR OWN RISK.
DEVELOPER USE ONLY.
Here is the untouched recent OTA zip for devs to pick at.
This is not a 'How-To' or Q&A thread, so please DO NOT ASK.
If you don't know what this is or what it can do, move along.

Enjoy.
UPDATE: There is a new kernel, don't know the specific changes yet.

I'm thinking of flashing this through recovery, doesn't remove root does it?

take it this is the same as the last one where you'd need to have stock recovery to install the update even if S-off? And even then you might temp lose your root access or no?

Wait for the developers to pick through it before doing ANYTHING. There is no reason to flash until its fully vetted. Relax have a beer or chocolate milk....patience...don't give in to the inner urge to upgrade just cause there is an upgrade....
Looking through the firmware.zip...I see all sorts of new stuff....possibly a new radio too?

Is this really true? Google can remotely reset your PW?

Will it work on custom ROMs too?

Did you even read the article ?
If you do something wrong enough for the cops to seize your phone, they can ask Apple/Google (in the US at any rate) to decrypt/provide access to the data on the phone if you refuse to.

Obviously I won't do anything like that, what about other countries?
What I am really worried about is the security behind this, as a skillful hacker could do this, couldn't they?

Of course anyone who 'knows what they're doing' could potentially do this. Thing is, what are you going to do about it/to defend against it ? Answer: Nothing. Because there's nothing you can do.
I wouldn't be losing sleep over this.

LEAK 4.4.2 ROOT Tips and Tricks Organized

first off BIG THANKS to BeansTown106 for giving a root 4.4.2 and be sure you hit him up with your appreciation.
the thread for the ROOT 4.4.2 over here has so much valuable information in it that you will never see unless you seriously read every page which grows daily.
i thought we could organize in this thread perhaps keeping this first post updated a thread for the tips and tricks to this leak.
here it goes:
S5 APPS:
it has been reported many times in the main thread that almost all the S5 apps found in THIS thread will work on our N3.
ISIS Working:
2 possible solutions reported
1. restore a backup from it working on 4.3 and your all set
if you did not back it up or use it with 4.3 then
2.

alright, meow.
Won't update, doe, because I fear that the update might break my root, and by extension, the Magisk modules i've installed for the purpose of customizing my UI, meow.
Well, we do not need root for our phones, so we could update without any problem.
When we do not get security updates anymore, we (my wife and i) will buy a new phone.

Wow, so cool, you could buy new phones, and you got a wife, wow!
Most of the other people here are trying to improve their phones, be it a a cost of no further updates... Be it may sound I'm poor compared to you. :supercool smiley: :wow: : champagne icon: :dolar icon:
