Hey guys. I just rooted my Galaxy Mega with the Kingoapp, very easy and is awesome so far. I have supersu and a few rooted apps already. Just wanted to see if you guys have any suggestions of other apps to use with this since there isn't that many options with this device already. I do have Xposed Installer already as well.
Thank You
Well i think you should first install a custom recovery before you start to mod your device. That way you will have a way to recover your device. just in case that somthing goes wrong.

I would want to know what variant he has before suggesting he do something like that. If he has i527, he is going to have a brick with a 6.3 inch screen.
Yes, I thought I recognized from other post......he has ATT variant. We have no recovery yet.
DO NOT FLASH ANYTHING.
You have exposed and you have not upgraded yet. Keep your eye on your phone though, it may want to upgrade on its own. I am pretty sure root will protect you however.
Hopefully there will be more Xposed modules that work for you than me.

I would like to add that do not unroot and update to the new firmware. You will gain knox and it is a right pain. If you want to keep root access and custom recovery (as of writing this, there is no recovery for the AT&T variant), STAY ON JELLY BEAN to keep these privileges.
Wanam module. You can make it look like a custom rom.

do you have a custom launcher? if not you should try Nova launcher
Buy Titanium Backup Pro. Freeze the Auto Updates app. This way you don't have to worry about an OTA coming through and killing root. It's definitely worth the money even if this is the only thing you use it for.

Gents (and ladies),
My phone is rooted, with vanilla 4.3 running. For a reason beyond my level of comprehension, apps are not recognizing the phone as having been rotted (with the exception of Notification Toggle).
I've got some screenshots attached showing the problems I'm encountering, which I'm hoping can get us started on working toward a solution.
If there's any other info you need from me, please let me know.
Any help would be very much appreciated, thank you so much in advance.
This may not even be your case but l know on the note 4.3 roms we had to go in developer options and make sure root access was set to apps and adb for root to function properly hope that helps you with your delima bro.

Also flashing the latest superSU zip may help if that doesn't work.

Heard of this happening on a few other posts... Most were solved by installing the latest version of superSU, like the guy above me says ^^ .
Would definitely start there and come back with the results.

I'm really hoping there's more info soon, I got mine for free too. The weird thing is that even the people at Verizon didn't have a lot of info on their own device. Anyone know if it has NFC? There are many sources both ways.
Got mine for free as well, but seems very slow.. I know it only has 1gb Ram but I figured with a quad core it could at least run streampix and Netflix without constant stuttering.. Hoping for some root methods and custom rooms to get some better performance out of it soon! Please and thank you!

So does SRS Root.exe using smartroot option....
I used framaroot and installed SuperSU and Boromir exploit to gain root access to my ellipsis.
Kingo worked well to root, and get SuperSU(Thanks to chainfire for this amazing free piece of software we all take for granted!) Can we get any developers interested in getting us recovery? Maybe get an official thread for this device? Here is all the information on the device http://pdadb.net/index.php?m=specs&id=5276&c=verizon_ellipsis_7_quanta_qmv7a
Hopefully we will be installing custom roms and kernels soon. Build prop tweaks would be amazing for this device, plus a real kernel!

It would be nice to have a custom rom on this. A 4.4 rom with the ability to move apps to the sd card to solve space issues would be so nice.

I don't suppose using Recovery Tools from the Play Store would let you install a custom recovery would it? I'm doubtful since the E7 doesn't have a native recovery mode to begin with...

Technically there are but do it at your own risk. People flash stuff from i92xxx but it is very risky especially if you have KNOX on your device. Be careful when doing this. I strongly reccomend you leave everything completely stock.

i527 has a locked bootloader. Till its unlocked by the service provider or someone finds a way to bypass it, there is no way a custom recovery can be flashed. No custom recovery, no custom rom.

Xposed module and remove bloatware, thats about it. Keep rooted and dont let it upgrade or you will lose root. The 4.4 has no root.
And if you choose to try and remove bloat through TiBu, be very careful. Actually, better to freeze than remove.
No recovery, no roms for i527

Titanium Backup, but be careful removing. Many have really screwed their device up. People have published lists, but others have messed up even going by that. Better to freeze. If your device acts up, you simply unfreeze. Need paid version to freeze.

What OS are you running?
Are you rooted?
Have you got root checker?
Are you sure TiBu said "not compatible" or "for rooted devices only"?

If you were to go into app manager, you would find Knox in there 3 seperate times. I have warned you about removing with TiBu, so no whining allowed when you delete a part of your OS when it is attached to another file.
Still no recovery because the bootloader is locked.

Hey guys, I was just wondering if maybe anybody over here could help us get root on the new Samsung galaxy avant. Or even give us some pointers on how to obtain root on the device.
I can try to pull any files that are needed and help out any way I can.
Any words of wisdom would be nice, or to tell me to get out of here. That works too. Just needing some more experienced people to help out if at all possible. Thanks ?
I'm trying to get the same info. Just got my Avant and am so used to running custom roms in my other phones. Still have my build from the collective on my S2 but it's about to die and I will get a new S5. But I can't deal with the bloat ware and not having control of my phone. I've had it 24 hours and I'm about to throw it against the wall because all the junk apps and settings. Other than that it might be a good phone .

If you read through that thread, then you know as much as I do, sorry to say. I've been checking other forums as well. The Avant has KNOX, as well as Qualcomm Secureboot. For whatever reason, T-Mobile has locked this device down hard. Nothing is impossible, of course (look at the AT&T/Verizon Note 3/GS5 and Towelroot - which unfortunately doesn't work on the Avant), but it might take some time to find root for the Avant, and maybe even longer for a way that doesn't void your warranty and/or permanently prevent updates.
Yeah, I posted this somewhere else trying to get some people interested but guess it got moved.

Yeah we have it sorted out on the other thread for this. Linked in the above comments
Now that we have root, what's next?
Hi, my Avant is the first phone I've been compelled to root. I had done some research, picked up a few apps that were recommended (i.e. AdFree), using a different launcher, etc..
It's been a great step forward, and now I'm hunting for the next step. Going into ROM Toolbox and deleting everything that looks unnecessary or bloatesque seems like a great way to brick the phone. Is there any way to determine what can be eliminated without catastrophe, or a list of egregious resource hording apps?
When it come to deleting apps I don't think it's possible to brick the phone. You can pretty much delete any app you want and replace it with a third party one. I've removed everything except the launcher, messages, phone, the tmobile app (since I pay my bill through it) etc etc. Just use root Uninstaller and back up any app you might think could cause a problem.

You can root it by using towel root and then after rooting you can download set cpu app from playstore which can increase batterylife or you can increase your phones performance.
Hope it helps!!!!:thumbup:

No you can not. Towel root doesn't work for the avant. Last time I checked anyways.
Easiest way to root it is flash twrp using odin, then flash the newest supersu.zip in twrp.
I'm new
I'm a brand new to all of this and I have a Galaxy Avant that I want to root. I've read thru the threads and am still confused. I can't use towelroot.com on this phone and the apps for rooting in the app store don't work. Do I have to root using a pc or can I do it without one? How??
I need to get in touch with any developers that could use someone willing to donate their ****ty hydro wave for the greater good. I've read and read and read for hours on end now I'm completely fed up.

Not sure why it just gave you temporary root. But still, you got rid of unwanted things and that's good
Yes true but let's say for some reason my phone gets locked or stuck in a bootloop or something. The only way I'll ever be able to do a recovery is through settings Kyocera themselves said that is the only way. Therefore I need full permanent root and eventually a custom rom
