Hi folks,
Ive been having a strange problem with a couple Galaxy Mega I9200. I have rooted both before without any problems using KINGO originally. The i decided to update both of them with version UBUCNA2. When i tried to re root them back, even though the process have run fine a couple times the phone is not rooting. At this point i dont know what else to do to try to root those phones. I have tried every single method around this forum i think not just KINGO this time. And have not been able to reach root the way it should. Titanium backup shows not able to aquire root priviledges, and other root apps also. Can someone please help me on this?? Keep in mind im not a newbie so dont give me the recovery method advice without something new or to use KINGO because ive have done that already. Thanks a lot guys
You upgraded your phones to the latest knox enabled firmware which has the knox bootloader. You cannot go back to an older firmware or flash a custom rom now.
To root, try the directions provided in this thread and use the melius3gxx files instead of meliusltexx.

Ok thanks, the phones already had the knox apk so my guess was that it was going to be the same thing. Thanks for clarifying that one. And thanks for the advice.
Thanks again, turns out the only thing that is failling root access is when i try to unlock the phone via box. For some reason when its checking for SU access it fails. But thanks anyway i managed to solve the Root problem.
root.
I rooted through Phill touch Recovery.
Samsung Galaxy Mega 2 SM-G750A AT&T Root. Plus Hotspot unlocked for Cricket or other
First step is to root your phone using King Root. This is the only known root to this day for the Mega 2 AT&T version that has the locked bootloader. It also wasn't known until a few days ago. It does not require a computer. Go to your security section in your phone settings and check unknown sources. Download King Root, run it and even without rebooting you will have root within a few minutes.
Here is the link where I found King Root right here on XDA. So I feel good posting the link.
*http://forum.xda-developers.com/fire-phone/general/root-4-6-1-unlocked-gsm-phone-t3104621
In the first post at the end is the attachment. Be sure you use 4.0.0.233 because that's the one that worked for me. I attached the Root King 4.0.0.233 file at the bottom of this post.
It goes on to mention how to replace king root with supersu. I haven't tried to replace king root because it works fine like it is. If someone wants to try it let me know.
Also during my testing I tried to install a zip from my stock bootloader and it wiped my whole phone back to stock. I assume any changes we make to this rom can not be done flashing a zip because of the locked bootloader. After it wiped everything I still had root though. The root application was the only application left on my phone besides the stock bloatware. If you want to remove Root King you need the app so I guess it's good that the app stays unless you uninstall using its own app.
Now we can install Titanium Backup. Run it close it then go back and (pay for if you haven't done it before) get Titanium Backup Pro key that will allow you to freeze apps. So you can freeze all the apps that will try to update your phone.
You can also remove all the bloatware.
After days of trying different apps to get hotspot to work I found this on another forum. Rather then posting a link (to another site) I have made this shortened version from the original and have given credit to Max Lee. If you want the original thread that includes photos of each step then Google search the title I copied below.
This was not originally written for the Mega 2 but it works perfectly on our Mega.
How to Get Free Wifi Tether on Rooted Android! [AT&T, T-Mobile, Sprint, Verizon]
BY MAX LEE · JULY 2, 2014
Step 1. Download Xposed Installer and Xposed XTether APK files.
Download:
Download Xposed Installer APK
*http://repo.xposed.info/module/de.robv.android.xposed.installer
Download Xposed XTether APK
*http://repo.xposed.info/module/com.dym.motoxtether
*Step 2. Install both APK files.* You may have to check “Unknown Sources” ON under Settings->Security.
*Step 3. Once both apps installed, open Xposed Installer app then press “Framework”.
*Step 4. Hit “Install/Update”.* This will install Xposed Framework.* You can also uninstall it later down the road when you don’t need it anymore if you want.
*Step 5. Make sure you hit “Grant” or “Allow” when Superuser request window pops up!
*Step 6. Hit “Cancel” when installation is done.* Do not reboot yet!
*Step 7. Go to “Modules” in Xposed Installer app.
*Step 8. Make sure Moto Tether is checked ON.* This is actually the XTether app.
*Step 9. Once rebooted, try turning on your Wifi Tether Mobile Hotspot.* It should now be working without annoying messages from your carrier!* Congratulations!
My added steps.
* Step 10. To turn on hotspot you need to go to settings and press Tethering and Wifi Hotspot then press Mobil hotspot, finally slide the switch to on.
Go to Play Store and get HotSpot Toggle by Mehdy Bohlool.
This will make a widget you can put on you home screen to make it easy to turn on and off the hotspot without going through all those other steps each time you want to turn it on and off.
Install it then go to your widgets, find the HotSpot Toggle, grab it and drop it onto your home screen.
I am going to reserve this space incase later I need to add something.
what is ur firmware?I have a G750a on baseband G750AUCU3A0FA did not work...............neither any root method
thank you for the post anyway
I'm in the same page as you. I have the same baseband, and it appears that may have "fixed" whatever exploits others have found. I went so far as to fill up my phone with apps so it doesn't have enough room to download the AT&T updates anymore. I cannot stop these automatic updates without root. I've tried several Kingroot versions, including the one from this post. I've tried Towelroot with several different options. I sure wish I could get this thing rooted. The sandboxed SD card kills my emulation.
mine is updated as well and no root option is working at the moment which totally sux
Any1's able to share an ADB dump or the whole 5.1.1 firmware? :highfive:
I updated mine to 5.1.1 in hopes that one of the root methods would start working. Still no go with either Kingroot or Towelroot. I'd give the dump a try, but I don't think we can get an ADB dumb without root can we? If so, I would mind giving it a shot.
No root before modification of kernel itself (my opinion)
I still don't understand why you posted the chinese version of Kingroot...it just doesn't make sense...

I am glad I Rooted mine before my phone updated to Android 5.0 I have had the same issue with some gs4 att phones that I didn't get Rooted before they updated to lollipop. I was able to root 2 of these mega 2s by doing it before they updated to lollipop.

The gs4 that used to be unrootable if it was updated to lollipop, has now been able to root using a newer version of kingroot. Try again to root your att mega 2 on lollipop using one of the latest kingroot. A new bonus now is if you do get root from kingroot you can buy Supersume from the playstore and it will remove kingroot and replace it with supersu automatically. There is a free method to manually replace kingroot with supersu also.

Oh man, I did almost the exact same thing. Only difference is that I used a script instead of Supersu-me. I am too stuck in a boot loop, and cannot get Odin, Kies 2.6, Kies 3 or Samsung Smart Switch to work. Every time I get this error on my phone in download mode: "SW REV. CHECK FAIL. DEVICE: 3. BINARY: 1"
This is the script I used to turn my phone into a boot loop:

Anyone that can upload honestly the whole firmware 5.1.1 G750A??.
Please, S3/N2 can run TW 5.1.1 with this system dump.
Thanks in advance.

"It's Not Free So Get The Wallet Out" Good Luck To You.........
Ok for those having issues of bootloop, there are easy ways to fix this.
If you are able to flash via Odin, just flash any firmware version on top of the one you have.
The device will probably boot normally, but will have issues inside OS. This issues should be fixed once you boot in recovery mode and wipe data/factory reset + wipe cache. BACKUP your suff in windows before you do the factory reset, just ignore the bugs in case they happen and backup your sutff viaSamsung Kies3/Smartswitch or normal windows browsing.
After your phone is back to normal, you can update to latest firmware again OTA WIFI, Odin, Kies/Smartswitch, SamFirm etc.
Need root procedure for the huawei Union y538
Running Android 5.1.1
Model y538
I haven't changed the rom
And I haven't seen a root procedure for this particular phone.
Okay so I found a root procedure yes king root latest version they don't have a official root procedure but it worked for me on the second try
Apk or PC version???

Did you use the apk or the PC version to obtain root?
how did this work
So did you ever find out if the PC or apk was used. Was there any issues, how did it work. Also has anyone figured out a hotspot mod for this device. I have it on the boost unlimited plan. I really need the hotspot.
Kingroot non PC version will work on any device but you ever uninstall king root will not reroot that device
My question is will the PC versipn?
kingroot
So I can just install the kingroot apk and it should root my device. I am kinda new to this. Will it also install SuperSU or will I need to find a way to flash it, if I need it at all. Also. Does anybody know about how to get free hotspot. I read that changing the apk to end in dun will work. Anybody know for sure.
Yes second try but if you ever uninstall you will be looking for a new way king root will not work a second time nomatter how you try but its safe will not brick device and will cover as antivirus phone protection oh if use antivirus get rid myself f it before you try kingroot or your phone will glitch king root is read as threat because it has no limitations on what it can do BTW I use the y538 model
hotspot
Have you found a hotspot hack or mod. I am gonna wait till I know I can get free hotspot before I root it.
I have my y538 rooted but I really want a custom recovery or rom anyone got one or know how
King root didn't work for me I've tried all and PC version, but very new to android and rooting. When I run the app it gets about halfway then stops and wont. Is there anything else I should've done as well, sorry but can't find anything, anywhere else about rooting this phone and version

Use KingRoot APK, does it easily.
I dont like the app myself so im going to remove it with lucky patcher soon. Once king root is installed into the system i cant get him out for fear of loosing root. I just installed SuperSu fromChaindd but now I can not update the binary, Im going to clone superuser from my other phone so hes updated and then may he will stay updated when I install to system app with lucky patcher.
Oh, and by the way, Your bootloader is locked so you wont be able to change the rom. SuperSu couldnt even install himself into the system like he has on every other phone. Dont even try to install a recovery at this point because your phone may never boot again!
Someone is going to have to dump a backup and figure out how to fool the checks into thinking its a real OTA update on the way back in.
Hello XDA, I have a Alcatel idealXCITE 5044R from AT&T and I am having a hard time trying to root this phone. It comes with Android 7.0, if you found a way to root it please let me know.

I'm also currently trying to root this device. Like it's predacessor, the Alcatel Ideal (4060A), the IdealXCITE does not appear to have a locked bootloader. So, the best method for rooting this device will be to port/install custom recovery, and subsequently flash the SuperSU v2.82 systemless root script from custom recovery. I'll keep you posted on my progress. Please do the same. Thanks
if we could find a way to force it to enter in to the bootloader we could flash a custom recovery. edit: adb reboot bootloader does not work.
here is the buildprop: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=817550096634788588. if this phone is exploitable by dirtycow we can create a scrip to get to the bootloader or root it.
i found this line in the buildprop, #GTS force set flash lock to pass cts ro.boot.flash.locked=1. this could mean that the bootloader is locked.

Yes. You made a good find there. Systemless root is theoretically impossible with a locked bootloader, as I'm sure you already know. This device is looking more and more impenetrable every day.
are best bet to get root access is to call or email alcatel. plus that is what they sayed about the zte zinger but it got root access.

Hmmmm. I've had luck with Wondershare on devices that nothing else would root. Keep us posted. Thanks
I will
wondershare failed to root this phone, man is this phone hard to root.
Is anyone still working on this device, or has it been abandoned?
I was but I just gave up on getting root access. If you think you know of a way to get root access please let me know.
Has anyone tried KingRoot? I have had it root phones that other tools failed on completly
King root doesn't work. Any ideas???
try NUTSACKrootSystem it works for everything except getting you a life
Yet you're wasting your time posting non sense like that on some online forums. Apparently its you who needs to get a life buddy.
could anyone give me stock rom of 5044r?
I wanted to change my boot animation but read and write access doesn't work and after click ok after it saying failed it Magisk says given (Example: Zarchiver) superuser rights but it still wont work and keeps giving root access multiple times when i grant it forever
Edit: I also used magisk custom rom and used odin to apply it to my phone so it says it's not running samsung official software
Plz Someone
Is anyone gonna see this
