me too......No love for us on VZW

I hate Verizon. Why does their cell service have to be so good. I'm on unlimited data or else I would switch. What does this have to do with root? I have this phone and I want root. I wish I knew how to do things like this. I can follow other peoples methods but I wish I knew how so I could contribute.

I had to pull the plug on my Note Edge yesterday. I'm tired of the poor performance and seeming lack of interest from Samsung. It may change soon, but I was itching to move on so I did. I jumped on the LG V10 black Friday special from verizon. I could have went with the Note 5, but after four generations of Samsung (S4, Note 3, Note 4, Note Edge) I would like to try something different. I am still keeping my pledge in for root on the Note series!

You successfully rooted you Verizon Note Edge doing this? You sure?

"Install Stock Samsung based FW with stock bootloader etc...
Install latest TWRP"
Install latest TWRP This is where we stop. If you can figure out how to get TWRP installed (aka unlocking the bootloader) let me know.

To root or not to root

After my last bad experience with Xperia zl and after reading how other people have experienced issues after rooting their note 3 I was wondering if rooting has any adverse effects on the phones functionality. What are cons of rooting?
There's bit of lag on note 3 which is really annoying for such a beast.
Any advice would be much appreciated thanks

root it, that is all.
Forget what everyone says about problems, Even if you were to brick this thing it can be restored to stock through odin. I have been screwing with this thing since it came out and my team has done quite a bit to it. Ones even working on a full rom atm.
Just do it!​

If you use the CF-AutoRoot method and follow the directions step by step (perhaps also remove SIM-Card and SD-Card before setting the phone in download mode and running Odin) then you should have a flawless experience, it took me less than 10 minutes out of the box and I was rooted and ready to go.
Chainfire and QbKing77 have put together comprehensive guides on rooting the Note 3 for just about every provider. Just make sure you choose the correct .tar file for your phone model.
Root your device at your own risk. Using this root method sets current binary and system status to custom. Additionally, it will also trigger the KNOX warranty void status. The KNOX warranty status change is permanent, and a service center may deny warranty based on this flag – even if the other flags are reset correctly. The KNOX flag being tripped may also prevent certain Samsung KNOX features from working (enterprise security features).
If you're worried about the losing your warranty, wait for a KNOX workaround, or a potential TriangleAway update.

Not sure if you're referring to my suggestion. The reason I recommend removing the SD-Card and SIM-Card is to prevent the chance of ODIN wiping any data from them. An old habit but prevention is the best solution. Bricks are no fun.
Also remember that restoring does not work with the note 3 yet so nandoids don't work and if u do a restore, u will not be able to Odin back to stock from what I've read. I will wait until all the kinks are worked out

My Advice: Root it. If it bricks, Return it. YOU SHOULD HAVE 14 DAYS

If you bought the phone retail you should have 14 days to return the phone. The Black Note 3 that I picked up from Best Buy on Friday was an upgrade from Sprint. I tooled around with it, rooted and installed a customer recovery on Saturday and tried to install a ROM yesterday. Things went awry and I ended up with a brick Black Note 3 and rather then waste time trying to unbrick it I returned it to BestBuy this morning and exchanged it for the white model.
Some might argue that it's not cool to do that because the phone will be relegated to pre owned status and Sprint/Samsung will have to write of the depreciated value of a two day old as a loss.
I don't care though because I signed a 2 year contract with Sprint and they'll screwing me for a lot more and for a much longer them then I could have ever screwed them.

What does this have to do with the original question asked... Also if your to lazy to unbrick this phone which is only about 10 clicks and 10 minutes long then that's not very impressive to me. A lot of respect is lost in this post.. I may not agree with sprints prices but still that's not cool

It has a lot to do with the original question. The question was whether or not to root and the answer mitigated the danger of having a root gone bad. It had nothing to do with being Lazy. I wasn't able to fix the phone in 10 clicks or 1,000 clicks and I spent much more than 10 minutes trying. After trying to flash the firmware didn't work I began to run out of idea's but it didn't stop me from trying. It's a new device and I wasn't able to locate many resources to help my guess it they haven't been created yet.
I said it's not something I normally do but I justified it because of the 10 years of repressed anger I have towards Sprint. I'm still annoyed at having to pay a monthly surcharge for having a smartphone beginning in 2010 with the HTC EVO 4G. And despite Sprints marketing the phone as 4G I never got 4G with that phone. Then there was the mismanaged OTA ICS update from Sprint. I could make a list of things to complain about to Sprint but there is no recourse after you sign the contract because you have no leverage.

Everything is good but I still have a few questions

So I am loving the note! What a beast of a phone. The only down side is I feel like a lot of accessory are not out yet. I did get it rooted but I have a few questions still.
1. its rooted and keeps telling me I need to update. I turned the setting off for checking for updates but its really annoying to keep getting this pop up. Is there a way to stop the phone from telling me this?
2. Now that I am rooted is there a way to install the new updates with out loosing root or tripping knox?
3. Since im rooted is there a way to get google wallet working?
4. How in the world did I put up with the evo lte so long?
Anybody? This notification is so annoying!

You may want to see if someone has a deoxidezed stock rom or switch to a AOSP rom. AOSP don't have update notifications. The uploaded stock based roms usually have it the notification removed or disabled.

Not really. Doing any OTA updates always runs the risks of loosing root. You can try using something like Voodoo Root Keeper, but not guaranteed to work. SuperSuperUser has some functionaltiy to try to save root. I think TWRP may it as well. Like the rest or the root keeping tools, none of it is guaranteed to work. In my experience though, they have saved my rear a couple times, on a different phone.
Best policy, just wait a day or two for someone to upload the updated stock rom that has root. Plus, in that time, you'll find out if the update is FUBAR'd or breaks any of your favorite apps.

I'm the "Ditto" and the "And how", not the OP, but I share his pain.
I wasn't trying to imply you didn't know better. I was more answering how the OP possiblely was ignorance about the Note 3, although not the greatest answer.
I'm still on the Note 2. But going from the Evo 4G to Note 2 was a new world open up to me. That may be par for the course when you go from a two year or more old phone to a new flagship. Not that aren't differences now, the hassle or breaking my contract and costs for benefits of upgrading didn't seem worth it. Plus, maybe, if I'm luckly, the Note 4 will be a 6" screen and have the triband to take advantage of Sprint's Spark's network compatibles.
That said, it's can be challeng keeping up with all the new tech on phones. And with that, there is always something better around the corner. I just know I was elided when Sprint got the Note II since I wanted the original Note and the first Dell Streak (5" smartphone). I've bought into the Kool Aid called the phablets and don't see me going anywhere.

I didn't have the horrible previous phone. My situation, I knew my phone had just become dated. I was running three different roms through boot manager, which I needed to switch roms depending on what I needing to do. I have feeling I may not be quite as bad with the Note 2 in a year, but I think it'll be showing it's age by then.
But going to the Note 2, I had the same feeling. It was a breathe of fresh air. Like the tech heavens had reopened. I'm just hoping there is nice leap in hardware from the Note 2 to Note 4. I see the it more it just being a minor upgrade to the Note 3. Kind of like what Apple was doing with iPhone and the S variants.
Thanks guys! I did get it rooted with root-de-la-vega and I am knox 0x0. I also got the notification to go away by freezing the "update service" with TB. Im not sure I want to update at all now, this is seriously the most solid phone I have had in a long time and it works flawlessly the way it is. I cant see any reason to update at all. to be honest im not sure how to tell what version im on now with a Samsung phone lol.
As for the evo, I was not a bad phone, it was pretty good at the time, it is not note close to the excrescence this phone gives you! I will say HTC does make a better "feeling" phone, but I could care less! I want it to run like a beast!!!!!! Plus I put all my phones in cases on day one so what it feels like only matters for a few minutes lol .

Glad you're set. I really hated my Evo, but I had the original Evo also, and Evo 2 couldn't compare so it left me grumbling. Very true about the feel. The Evo feels more substantial to me, but like you I'd rather have the beast (case goes on all my devices day one, too). :good:

CANADA - Has anybody rooted there phone yet?

I'm wounding if anybody has rooted there phone yet. I happen to say the hell with it and I tryed the root for the SM-g925t on my Canadian SM-g925w8 and it work great as of right now.. hopefully nothing happens but its been working a full 24 hours now. I though why not, they are both Edges. I also done the same back on my S4 with a AT&T ROOT and it worked fine!
If you try, post here to prove to people its working! Thanks!
Somebody else posted the same result yesterday (might have been on the regular S6 board). It's great that we have that option. But I'm going to hold off on root for now because of the following.
Apparently you currently cannot unroot an S6/S6e (short of re-flashing the entire firmware via Odin). Furthermore, there is currently an issue with CF-Auto-Root in that it messes up your stock recovery, leading to people being unable to do factory resets and such (see the CF-Auto-Root threads).
T-Mobile already had an OTA that seems to fix a lot of major bugs, and I imagine other carriers will have it soon as well. I definitely want the first couple of OTAs, so I think I'll be putting off root until at least a quick and easy unroot method exists and the stock recovery doesn't get compromised.
I'm going to hold off as well on my other phone. I was just dieing to try it and luckily enough its working.

Great News,
Just rooted my Rogers S6 edge with this file CF-Auto-Root-zerolte-zeroltexx-smg925f.

Lots of root threads - what's the skinny on root for the Verizon V10 with 6.0?

I bought my V10 last June and for the first time since my HTC EVO decided that I wouldn't root my phone. I have now come to the conclusion that I need root and after logging in to XDA (after almost a 1 year absence) I see that there's apparently no root for this phone.
Obviously I'm on Verizon - what are my choices for an alternative phone that is in the same class as the V10 but can be rooted? Or is a root solution for the V10 closer at hand?
Albine is almost there. Temporary root has been achieved. It should not be much longer for total root!

Yeah that was back in December...That was awhile ago man and most people can't get it to work. The only progress I've seen on root was a bunch of drama. Kinda disappointing really
I'm still hoping for a V10 root... but it looks like the V20 is rooted:

What is a good choice for a V10 replacement? I really want a rooted phone.

Wonder if we could use a similar method. All we really need to do is replace Verizons bootloader with a debug one like that and we'll be golden.

Is the Verizon version locked down?
OnePlus 3t
Have you looked at this phone?
I have seen of temp root it works it doesn't work etc...
Partial root only...
Does not survive reboot etc...
But...is it enough root to use debloater to stop ota
Currently debloater does not have proper permissions or something
Does...
Temp root + debloater = no ota
Possibly or no chance
Thanks

2 things that would make me hesitate. Battery can't be replaced and storage memory can't be expanded.
Same with the Pixel.

Yes if it upgrades to 7.1.1 which they do in the store... Buy it from Google
If I had twrp port it might be easy to root.. Doesn't seem to exist.. I asked for it already on another thread, but no email.. I'm going to reach out to friend on hangouts and see if he feel like making one. He doesn't have this device so I'm not sure if he's interested.. The theory is this simple.. " fastboot boot twrp.img." once booted into twrp, we can flash twrp. Had to do it for my g4 and it works.. Also, I've seen twrp on locked bootloaders so that shouldn't be an issue.. No one's mention anything about that method though..
I think this died. Not complaining but it's been quite a few months since it was announced root was coming.
Good thing I'm rooted on 5.1.1 still. Would love to see root for Marshmallow (or greater) though.
I think Verizon and their hardware vendors should be aware that I will not buy a product or service if I can't have a rooted phone.
Looks like a Google phone next go around, much I don't want to go that route.
Sorry LG; Sorry Samsung. You won't be selling me anything.
Feel my wrath and consumer power
I believe the LG V20 is rooted (or at least unlocked)...

How to root the G965FD?

Mine will be here in about 2-3 days. I'm seeing mixed answers and misleading threads all over google and I need plain to the point info. I'm sure mine will be on BRE5 or bre3 or one of the 2. I'd like to know the steps to root, The work arounds from this; 7 day OEM jail thing if needed for root and anything else that I'm not understanding which is everything. I'm coming from an s8 plus (RIP) and a oneplus 6 (ehh). Missed Samsung and root so much I went and bought the phone, US model was not doing it for me. I don't normally ever ask for help but I'm in need of it in a bad way.
Any and all leads and help/sticky threads and instructions will be greatly appreciated!

Yes 7 days, this is well established my friend. You odined firmware which reset your counter (no idea why you would do that?)
Wait it out is all you can do, ive seen reports of people tricking the date to speed this up but honestly if you cant wait 7 days for root you have bigger issues lol.
