There's the tar files you flash in odin, full wipe and no wipe. Surge hasn't updated the OP of that thread in awhile so some of what it says is incorrect but the files are still good of course.

i don't prefer to flash files because this may make soft brick or play with bootloader.
the hateful thing in android is the bootloader especially on samsung devices.much sensitive.

It's a tar file for Odin, samsung's own firmware software. Those are the files and Odin is the tool that saves you from a soft brick.

i know a lot about tar files and i have flashed my phone many times via odin...i didn't use ota...always odin.
but i mean about some custom tar files or unsuitable files may cause soft brick.

I'm not following you at all.
You want to root. You started with a program (vroot) which is not known to work on Kit Kat. But you think that it's OK, because it's Chinese. Then you refuse to use Samsung signed factory images to recover your phone. Why? Because they're from Japan?
On a clean NC5 build, Towelroot seems to root just fine. Why not use that?

why are you angry like that.
i didn't refuse to use samsung factory images...i have used them many times to recover from soft brick...i have bricked my phone about 5 times..
this happen because play sytem files or build.prop file.
not matter for me if i used factory images from china or japan....iam not japaness or chiness.
my image was clean but only towel root dosen't work for me so i use the two programs...ok
vroot has been updated to work with kitkat if you have the latest version of it...but on some device may not work properly but it can push su file into /system/xbin....thank you.

Angry? No, just confused as I said. You seemed to be worried about running Odin, an official Samsung application to flash factory stock ROMs but don't seem to have any problems running programs like vroot. Maybe the vroot owners have reformed, so maybe it's time to look. However, it seems very likely that they've just tweaked Towelroot, as vroot couldn't root Kit Kat before Towelroot came out. If so, then they should be telling geohot how to make it work on more models rather than diverting contributions from geohot. But then again, they've never been a part of the community. Their choice, of course.
i have runing odin many times to restore/update phone rom.

totally agree! I had the same experience.
I am not denying to you. But I have rooted my phone using vroot only. After upgrading you have to use fress upgraded version of vroot. And one more thing for super user app you can download SuperSU ( chainfair ) from play store. Use latest version of SuperSU app.

I tried to download updated version VROOT but Antivirus prompt it Trojan inside. Even I took risk to download to a computer (brand new computer without important things). I did root phone but not successful. I am interesting that what version VROOT you were using to root 4.4.2?
Other things, SuperSU has problem after flashed to phone. it seems to be OK and grant root right to apps such as Titanium backup. However, when you open SuperSU,it will prompt you SU binary need to be updated. It is NEVER successful the update. I download most updated version SuperSU 2.02 but same error. Finally, a Chinese web site, someone using I post root package and successful. I did root by this package, everything fine.
I am extremely sorry brother , In previous post i pasted the wrong link that is for android 4.2 version.
follow this for android 4.4.+ version::::::::
1. Download driver for your phone on pc. Use pdanet to download driver.or search in google for s930.
2. download it: Romaster_3.4.6.8285
http://soft.mgyun.com/files/products/romasterlab/1000/2014/50595328/Romaster_3.4.6.8285_Setup.exe
3. turn on USB DEBUG in your phone.
4. Install RootMaster that you have downloaded alredy.
5.Open it, Click on ROOT at bottom.Wait for status. Then click on ROOT. And wait to reboot your phone .After that ROOTMASTER will check that status of your phone.
You will get status as Rooted .
All DONE and have fun.
Then Install SuperSU:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=eu.chainfire.supersu
When you open it Then,
You should choose "Normal Installation" when it will prompt.
Done .
Say Thanks If it helps you.

Did you try to open SuperSU and prompt you update SU Binary? I did similar thing of you mention but SuperSU alway prompt me update binary but never successful
Yes I installed it and working fine. Earlier I was also not able to use it but after getting kitkat its working.
Do one thing, first uninstall SuperSU. Root your phone then install SuperSU from play store only. Don't use any backup apk.

ok so yes i do have USB debugging enabled.. also i have windows 8.1 running in VirtualBox with linux as host. u think that may be a problem as well or nah?
--also how long would u say it should normally take to root with MobileGo
It took me around 5 minutes. I have no idea what effects vbox would have on the program

Mine is a S4 Unlocked Verizon phone and I'm on OF1 also there's a thread somewhere with links, but what you have to do us Odin the OC1 kernel, then use wonders have and click the "one click root" then after your fine if you get security warnings lijd I fid reflash the OF1 kernel. That's what I did and I now gave a rooted. Unlocked S4 and I even flashed the stock detoxed rom, just whatever you do DO NOT TRY FLASHJNH A VUSTOM RECOVERY (yea I did that before I read it all)

Hey Matthew!
I have the OF1 and want to root my phone. I have gone to the One Root site and they couldn't root it and refunded my money. I never rooted a phone, but it doesn't look too hard to do for I saw a guy do it on a video using Odin 3 and it took a lot of steps, but it didn't look hard. I never rooted a phone, but I'm freakin' going to. I want my phone back. I keep trying to download all the stuff you guys say to download, but Wondershare is not for Windows 10 and every time I try to download something I can't because it's in a strange file format and my comp is evidently not intelligent enough to open it. Also when I go to download an APK file opener they tell me I need to download something ELSE in order to use the APK file opener and I can't open THAT file. Do you see where I'm going with all this? Is there a place where us folks who have no clue what is going on can get ALL the stuff we need in one place? Or no? There has to be an easier way.
FIRST of all where can I download a file opener that opens ALL types of files? I KNOW one HAS to exist. I just haven't found it yet. Once I get that file opener then maybe the files I download can be opened. After this task is complete I will need to know step by step how to use Odin to complete the root and I will get someone to explain that to me later.
Thanks Matthew.

There is a file explorer on the Google play store called es file explorer. It has opened nearly every file I've downloaded and it supports apks as well. As for a simple one click root, the easiest way to do it for of1 is to use wondershare following the guide in the general section. Now for if wondershare doesn't work after the kernel downgrade then you should try kingroot. Google all about root I believe there is an article somewhere explaining everything you need to know

Thanks for your timely response Matthew. I already tried Kingroot and Kingo Root, both failed after multiple attempts. From what I have been reading people have been downgrading their kernel version back to something that can be rooted. I have Samsung Galaxy S-4 SCHi545 Build number LRX22C.i545VRUGOF1 and when I look at my system updates it says my phone was updated to that particular build on Aug. 24th 2015. When I click on "Show system update history" it says my my software was updated to i545VRUGOC1 on April 30th, 2015. Seems like people are...like you said...downgrading to an previous kernal so they can root their phones because these higher level software updates have non-exploitable features so we can't root these phones.
Now having said all that it looks like I need to downgrade my kernal for even you say I need to try Wondershare after I downgrade my kernal. I've seen videos on downgrading the kernals using Odin 3, but when I tried to download Odin 3 on my comp I couldn't because my comp couldn't open the files that were trying to be downloaded. I will try to download the es file explorer to use. Now this app goes on my comp or my phone because I need to get Odin on my comp to use, not my phone. In other words does Google Play have apps to download to your comps like File explorer?
I've had to do a lot of reading the last two days so I figure out you guys' language and to learn all about rooting. I feel like I am close to my goal of emancipating my freakin' phone out of the hands of TYRRANY!

I've seen videos on downgrading the kernals using Odin 3, but when I tried to download Odin 3 on my comp I couldn't because my comp couldn't open the files that were trying to be downloaded. I will try to download the es file explorer to use. Now this app goes on my comp or my phone because I need to get Odin on my comp to use, not my phone. In other words does Google Play have apps to download to your comps like File explorer?
I've had to do a lot of reading the last two days so I figure out you guys' language and to learn all about rooting. I feel like I am close to my goal of emancipating my freakin' phone out of the hands of TYRRANY!

Odin should download to a zip file which is natively compatible for windows. If you are unable to open zip files for whatever reason you will have to Google how for your certain operating system. When I said es file Explorer I meant for your phone.

want to root sch i545
I have the exact same phone and problem. I would not try to root unless there is an easy way as I don't know enough about how it works if the solution is complicated. Please post as soon as you find a way to root it Thanks
I got this device used and it had been updated to the newest firmware. It would not work with Kingroot, Framaroot, SRS, or Kingo. The only option was to attempt to downgrade to an older firmware with unpatched exploits. The Verizon J1 has a locked bootloader so it cannot flash full firmware packages with older bootloaders. Luckily it can be downgraded to older firmware of the same android version with older kernel. I just had to unpack the firmware and remove the bootloader and repack. I tried to make a rooted stock firmware but can't seem to repack the system.img.ext4 properly after mounting it.
Now let's get down to business
1. Download Odin 3.09
2. Download modified (by me) rootable firmware. Do not rename file it might mess up md5sum.
3. Boot phone to download mode. Hold power+vol down+ home.
4. Start Odin and connect phone with original factory sync cable.
5. Click on the AP button and select the firmware downloaded above. It will check the md5sum automatically when it finishes and passes then press the start button. Once the flash finishes it will reboot.
6. Enable usb debugging.
7. Download Kingoroot for PC (google) and let it run. The apk will not work to root. It should install drivers automatically.
8. Profit!!
I'm testing a method to reliably switch to Supersu but having trouble updating binary 100% of the time. I've tried to flash exposed but Flashfire doesn't seem to work properly with this device. If anyone can suggest a workaround please share.
OP, is it okay if I don't have original factory sync cable in hands?

Yeah its ok you just run into less issues with original cable.
**Working on updating links I have a slow upload speed though.

If u want to switch to SuperSu from KingoROOT, the best and easiest method would be backing up ur phone and performing a soft reset. Afterwards simply install SuperSu, the superuser binary is already installed from kingroot - no worries, just update it normally via SuperSU and disable KNOX after the update is complete.
That switch idea of yours might get you bricked
Confirmed it works now we need a recovery so we can just flash su
SuperSUme works really really well lol, this phone is 32bit only any1 wanna try 4 a recovery?
Thxx bro
I've tried porting a few times from the j100h twrp and keep getting a return to Verizon dealer screen. So I'd assume the bootloader is still locked. Im going to try the old safestrap and see if i can't get that working. But im kinda a noob so I'll do my best.
p.s. Don't try flashing any recovery until you backup your current one with rashr or flashify.BE SAFE.btw I've yet to see supersume actually work but hey it could happen. I'd much rather just flash the su from a recovery.

Agreed about flashing the recovery, but you need to be rooted with KingOroot to get SuperSUme to work, & it helps to just keep the screen timeout turned off thru this process , after it says "complete" I downloaded SuperSU & installed, updated, "disabled" knox, & I can also use flashfire although its pretty worthless for anything other than backups, as the little AROMA shell emulator thingy does run after the verizon logo is showing, which indicates to me yea its locked down pretty solid lol.
I tried Safestrap & it gave me a /SS folder in my /etc so I looked into that but I can't manage to figure out how I should go placing the files to make it work lol. But i do know this thing is 32bit ONLY, so compiling the j100H twrp for instance will NOT flash no matter what we do to the bootloader, it will bootloop since the architecture is for a 64bit SoC, we need someone to compile the j100H twrp in a 32bit only compatible architecture, & then you can easily flash it like cake, & TWRP should do the rest like all other Samsung phones O.O
its gotten to the point these are all the apps I have when i restore haha, if you wanna PM me about working together to get this thing a little more flexible I'm always open to ideas . I only use this thing as a hotspot but would totally like to see a recovery at least make it over & from there I could definitely start the ROM bringup
Will I get bricked by doing this with Verizon

Haha believe it or not that's a pretty reasonable question! xD, you shouldn't, i cannot see why, if you have problems just restore i will help ya through it again, & if you want xposed ONLY use the material installer from xda

I'll get Xposed another time. I turned off my phone a couple times but the root stayed so that's a plus :victory:

If you havent used SUPERSUme to transfer it over to SuperSU, google the app, can't find the free one on play store anymore i guess.

Hello All,
I have a galaxy note 3 N9005 LTE with 4g option unavailable unless I modify a data file and change its value from 0 to 1 (I don't remember the exact file name right now!), however, I can't change that file value unless I have my device rooted.
I have rooted my device before and had my 4G option enabled successfully before I perform a factory reset.
Currently, I am trying to root it again using Chainfire cf auto root file and Odin.
Although the Odin gives a successful process, the phone doesn't get rooted after bootup.
Model Number:
SM-N9005
Android Version:
4.4.2
Baseband version:
N9005XXUGNG1
*I have tried all auto root application available like kingo root and others and they do not work.
*If you know a method to unlock the 4G option in this device, it might be enough for me and no need for rooting.
(I have no clue why should they disable the 4g option in the first place !! )
Thank you for helping!
I've rooted that thing before using kingoroot and then flashed twrp and then flashed supersu zip and then flashed cyanogenmod 13. So I guess you do the same Btw, I did all that without a computer, by flashing twrp using the flashfire thing from gstore.

Thank you for your reply!
But as mentioned up there, kingoroot failed to root my device. Therefore, I am looking for other alternatives.

Can you re-download this (http://download.chainfire.eu/352/CF-Root/CF-Auto-Root/CF-Auto-Root-hlte-hltexx-smn9005.zip)? It is possible that you have downloaded and flashed the one for the 4.2 bootloader, which obviously won't work.
Good luck

It is that exact one I have used, although I know it is for Android 5.0. I have no idea why it doesn't work with my cell phone.
Also, I have used Odin v3.10.6 and v3.07.

It's for android KitKat. Hmm, interesting, I'd backup stock ROM and reflash the 4.4.2 and then try the cf auto root. So I suggest you do the same

Install Kingoroot for pc.
Enable USB debugging on your phone and connect it with pc using USB cable.
Open Kingoroot, enable your net connection and click Remove Root button being displayed.
Wait for the process to complete.
By the way, if your concern is that payment apps like Samsung Pay are not working on a rooted phone, why don't you install xposed framework and use RootCloak.
RootCloak is a xposed module which prevents apps from discovering root privileges on a phone.
That's what I did when payment apps stopped functioning on my phone.

Yeah, if you can't unroot it you must flash it. It seem there is no tarball file available yet. Have you try to reflash stock rom using samsung kies?
