I'm seeing an available firmware upgrade via kies (MK7).
I'm a little skeptical to try it. Has anyone else upgraded to this firmware?
If so, have you been able to root your mega and install a custom recovery after the upgrade?
I don't want to install this firmware upgrade only to find out that afterwards that knox is on it and prevents me from rooting the phone or unlocking the bootloader.
By the way, I tried downloading the firmware without my phone connected but kies keeps force closing on me before the download is complete.
I'm afraid to connect my phone and try the download because I think it will automatically install the upgrade which I don't want to do until I'm sure I can re-root it and re-install TWRP.

I bit the bullet and gave it a shot. I am happy to report that the firmware upgrade was successful using Kies, I was able to root the device via the Kingo Root app, and was able to re-install TWRP. I am now on firmware M819NUVUAMK7. It is still Android version 4.2.2, and the baseband is also M819NUVUAMK7. The kernel version is dated Fri Nov 22, 2013
I installed superSU and when I ran it, it asked me if I wanted to disable knox (YES OR NO). OF COURSE I DISABLED KNOX!!
I afterward performed a nandroid backup in TWRP (the first order of business).
I am more comfortable now deleting, freezing, uninstalling system apps now because (in the event of a softbrick or bootloop) I can always revert to my nandroid backup or in extreme cases, restart all over again by re-installing the firmware via Kies, re-rooting the device via the kingo root app, and reinstalling TWRP via ODIN.
Not sure what changed from the original firmware (no change log). In any event, the device is snappy and I'm not experiencing any lags.

well easiest way is. if its your stock ROM that came with the phone when you bought it. it is odex.
if you are rooted, you can use root explorer to go into your system/app file and see if it shows odex settings for apps
I did and had no problem rooting with kingo. What I cannot find is a way around sim lock without going through metro and that sucks.

Almost had a heart attack from this upgrade. My phone was already rooted when I applied the update from Kies. Everything went through fine except when it restarted, I couldn't turn on Wifi at all and I was getting an E in the cell signal. I managed to download the TWRP tar file and Kingo app to root again. I was able to restore my previous backed up image and everything was when I last left it! WHEW!
That's strange. I had no problem. wifi worked and I haven't seen E at all (only 4g lte or 4g). My signal appears to be stronger and more stable with this update than with the original firmware (most of the time I have full bars). As mentioned I don't know what changes were made (no change log around) but this is my observation so far.

This string is present on my phone in download mode:

I have no lines displaying anything about KNOX.
In titanium backup I froze knox 1.0, knox notification manager 1.0, and knox store 1.0.
So it appears that knox is in the rom somewhere but it's had no impact on me. I'm rooted, have twrp installed and have flashed multiple custom roms on my device (both tw and aosp based roms).
Perfect, thanks! Glad you guys got spared from the horrid new Knox bootloaders. There's a small chance that the M819 can be downgraded to the older bootloader to remove Knox entirely, but if the update came with the newest bootloader (I got stuck with it on my i527M) there is no hope at all of downgrading.
Thanks to whoever posted this and the creator of this rom

ok thanks and this will work correct.... also before I add a new rom on the m819n I have another question... I used to get 4LTE every where and now I get only 4G or edge after rooting with stock rom. signal apps dont do crap. is there a way to fix this... I miss my LTE data speeds. if you know how to fix or anything please point me in the right direction thanks.
Hi all, thanks in advance for any help on this. I have a few general s5 rooting questions. I'm an experienced 'rooter' having rooted and installed custom ROMs on many previous devices.
- I've ready that the s5 has an 'e-fuse' that gets 'blown' when the device is rooted. this then voids the warranty and prevents things like Fort Knox from running. I get that, and understand the risks. But, I've also read that the lollipop update will remove root. These two things seem to contradict themselves.
- on other devices I've rooted, I've then installed a custom ROM. I don't plan to do this with my s5. I haven't been able to find much written on the experience of a rooted s5 running the samsung stock ROM/firmware. I'd like to use something like xposed to change parts of the ROM (like the white background that's so pervasive in the s5 flavor of lollipop). I'm curious if anyone is running lollipop on an s5 that is rooted but running stock samsung firmware and xposed.
thanks!
Rooting won't trip Knox. Installing a custom recovery will. If you have insurance on your device tripping Knox doesn't matter, your covered anyway.
thanks!

very interesting, thanks! can I run xposed/titanium backup pro/other root things without a custom recovery? all I'm really interested in is modifying Samsung-dictated things (like apps that can't be frozen and colors/elements that can't be changed) + making complete backups to the SD card. If I recall from my previous experiences, a custom recovery was the way to create a nandroid backup...but I think perhaps titanium backup pro can do that from the android front-end (with root).
I assume that I should wait to root until the tmobile s5 gets lollipop? i.e. that update will kill root?

Right now there are threads that show you how to get rooted lollipop on your phone without tripping Knox which basically involves downgrading the kernel so you can root with towelroot, then using mobile Odin to flash lollipop and inject root in the process. It seems people are able to do this without issues. To this point, I do not think that anyone has found an exploit for lollipop.
The problem you will run into is that Xposed still does not run on lollipop so you cannot do much in the way of customization. Most of the G900F ROMs can run on the G900T so you might poke around in those threads to pick up more info.
Hope this helps a little.

I don;t know where you heard that rooting won;'t trip Knox but I beleive you are wrong about that At least I know that Flashing cf auto root - flashing recovery or flashing custom roms all trip knox. If your phone can use Towel Root - that rooting process does not trip knox - but I am not sure if Towel Root works on Lollipop or on the S5 for that matter. (I may be wrong about Towel Root - I have never used that process so I can't say for sure)
Flashing a new rom via ODIN does not trip knox. It is just like getting an UPDATE from the carrier OTA.
BUT, If you are already rooted - you already have tripped knox - flashing Lollipop will remove root - but it will not do anything to change the fact that you tripped knox on your phone already.
As far as I know everything I have said is correct - based on what I have learned thru reading - flashing and using several different samsung phones -
finally, I see a lot of people paranoid as hell about tripping knox - and I can tell you without any hesitation that I have never had a problem getting service or replacements after rooting a phone - there have been a few times back when I first started flashing roms that I had issues with my phone and I took it in and got a replacement without any issue - once I broke my screen and got a replacement then too - both times I was rooted, running custom recovery - etc.
I hope this helps you
I used towel root on NE6. You can downgrade to that via Odin and not trip knox. As far as flashing 5.0 and losing root. I came from Alliance flash Twisted lollipop and kept root. Then used Odin to flash the bootloader and modem for OB1.
Do you still have Knox 0?
How did you flash lollipop?
I don't mean to beat a dead horse, as I'm sure it's been brought up. But every search I've done just brings up how to update to OC1 without losing root. All the way back to the original Motorola Droid, I've always rooted and added a custom recovery and ROM to every phone I've had. I was running Hyperdrive RLS20 and loved it. I've been using Hyperdrive since my Galaxy S3. Then I saw Hyperdrive RLS21 came out and decided I wanted to give it a shot. And although I've flashed over a few hundred ROMs no problem, this time really screwed my phone. I could only get into DL mode. I tried about 25 different ways until I had Kies fix it, which put it on 5.0.1. Can I revert down with Odin? Or is there anything I can do to get root and SU back. Any help would be much, MUCH appreciated
Nope, by taking the latest OTA (or in this case Kies) you've locked yourself into the latest version, for which there is currently no Root
That sucks. No way to use Odin in order to downgrade or anything? This is the first time since I've ever owned an android phone that I've been stuck without root

Don't lump me In with that crowd. I had no intention on going to 5.0.1. If you read my original post, I was upgrading to Hyperdrive KK21 from KK20 (and yes, I followed every single instruction to the T. My only guess is that the USB connection got messed up and only flashed a portion causing the problems) and it **** the bed mid-update. I couldn't get into SS recovery or even stock recovery, only DL mode. I spent 2 days without a working phone trying to flash every single Odin file that retained root and they all failed. So I used Kies to try to repair it and ended up ****ed on 5.0.1. The one solution I didn't want. I've NEVER had an android since the D1 that wasn't rooted running a custom ROM. Which is why I'm so desperately trying to get back to rooted. While 5.0.1 is actually a very nice OS, not having all the root options is killing me. And since its now 2 generations old, my hopes that a root exploit will be found, or that people even care enough to try to find one are extremely low. But, I sure hope I'm wrong, and that an exploit for one of the newer generations Galaxies will work on this one too. I'm OCD about having root and this is killing me

If you're ever in this situation again, give up on retaining your current root, flash back to true stock (with a re-partition .pit file as well), and re-root. If you had flashed the nc5 full-wipe with the .pit file and just restored root from a clean system, you would have been fine.

You can't downgrade from OC1.
Downgrade isn't a root issue, it is a bootloader issue. Unless the bootloader gets unlocked, we're stuck on OC1
kingroot does work
I had done the dumb thing and was impatient and did the oc1 update to later find out you can not downgrade and im on Verizon Samsung galaxy s4 (sch-i545) which even on kit kat is very limited to rooting it.. but on a whim I seen a post about king root and it mentioned that and I did see this myself but it will say not supported like it did on mine. but I figured what the hell.. whats the worst that could happen... well im rooted now and only tried because I had seen others make that comment.. well kingroot works for s4 Verizon with locked bootloader.. no need to downgrade from oc1.. just get the app and click... took less than 10 mins if I rememner right.. and I have had no pronlems in 3 days.. it oddly even fixed some of the bugs I was having with oc1 like incoming calls not ringing

You have root. But you have a much lower chance of getting an unlocked Bootloader than anyone on NC5/NK1/NK4. They have root, module loading, and a potential for kexec to run custom kernels.
Don't upgrade to OC1 via OTA if you haven't already everyone! Use Muniz_ri's keeproot upgrade method!

Even then you're stuck. Rollback has little to do with the BL. Rollback is set at a much lower level (physically).

So I have an Australian (Telstra) S6 Edge 925I with stock firmware (OD1) android version 5.0.2 kernel build April 1st.
PingPong root didn't work (and obviously was ruled out also because of kernel build date)
CF Auto-root has just been sending phone into bootloop, have tried a few variants (925i, 925F, 920f, 920t)
Also tried a kernel flash (as if the phone was on 5.1.1) but just got phone stuck on boot screen.
Tried a TWRP flash, got TWRP to work but bootloop also.
-- I do have a stock firmware that I have flashed to get phone back to normal each time it has soft-bricked.
So it seems that rooting is turning out to be pretty impossible but I have seen so much success for others!
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
[also this could be the wrong place to post so redirect or whatever if you have to]
THanks!
Try the Android unified toolkit. It will help you root the proper way for your variant.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...lkit-skipsoft-android-toolkit-galaxy-t3101195
Unfortunately, toolkit didn't work for me. When I was going through root process, I flashed TWRP; latest version caused some weird brightness/colour issue so I couldn't use it, flashed the recommended version, and touch screen wouldn't work. Flashed a version in between which worked, but couldn't boot into OS because of bootloop.
So unfortunately I'm still quite stuck. Toolkit seems like a great tool though, if only it would work. I'm certain I'm not doing anything wrong.
So I paid ("donated") for the pro version so I could get it done that way... Yep, device still went into bootloop... Not sure what's going here but now I have also wasted money.
in 5.1.1 you need to have a custom kernel flashed..look into my twrp thread..
CF Auto Root updated and works on my Phone. S6 Edge 925I
Still having trouble installing a recovery though
Root is now available for the Samsung Galaxy S7 and S7 edge. I take no credit for the root. I am just posting a link to the T mobile root thread. I successfully rooted my AT&T Galaxy S7 on Nougat 7.0 following the instructions in the OP of this thread.

@dirtydodge I checked the websites that are listed for original stock firmware, but neither had 930A. would i download 930T and it will work the same?
they have posted the stock 7.0 AT&T file,
its a MEGA link,
about 1.7gb
but I rooted and so far its pretty good, debloated my AT&T device fully,
and I'm gonna see hat I can do to enable tethering.
I already got google assistant install

Sm930a pk1? Although I found a link and have downloaded it (it's in my thread history)
This root does not work. I've followed every step and get stuck in a boot loop at the s7 boot screen.

How long did you leave it? And did you go through initial setup before trying to root? I got a longer boot time the first reboot and trying to flash the Nougat odin files and immediately flash the eng boot without completing setup didn't boot.
Now that you mention it maybe like 4-5 min these phones start roasting lol, I went through the whole set up I'm going to try again tomorrow seeing as I'm the only one with the issue.
Does flashing adoptable storage mod in flaahfire work on nougat? Has anyone tested it?

Is there a eng rom for nougat for att or is it only eng rom for nougat for tmobile? Can you please post link to where they post the mega link? I can't find it. Thank you in advance
It works, but it's very laggy and the battery drains very quickly. I've had rooted nougat for about two weeks now and using govtuner and L-speed among other things completely smooths out the lag. The battery drain is still an issue though.
My question is can you set selinux to permissive using rooted nougat? I don't think you trip knox by rooting with the eng kernel but it's still there and may prevent the toggle on boot. I still get a once or twice a day popup from the play store telling me to uninstall it as well which is slightly annoying ?
I'm also wondering if anyone has successfully gone from nougat to the tmobile custom rom on att. I tried but ended up bootlooping. Someone mentioned flashing the PIT file from tmobile but I don't want to lose LTE. It seems pointless without an unlocked bootloader but the engineering kernel is such a battery hog I may give it another go in a while
When I used nougat BQA6 it rooted just fine
So the root works for me, it boots on and when I reboot it, it rebooted then i messed with the prop.builds . and it get stuck at the ATT screen. flashed back to stock and im fine but how do i keep that from happening. samsung dm verity
also I told supersu to disable KNOX should i do this or not
I also cant find these things in titanium backup to disable them

I had root using this method, but I lost it and can't get it back. I keep getting the SuperSU "SU Binary occupied" error after running the root.bat 2.82 a few times. I also tried flashing back to stock and then rooting again but still get the error. thanks

We can't update super Su last i checked. I just keep ignoring the update message. I'm not on N at the moment bit I'm still running super Su 2.79. If you update it then it'll remove root on our devices.

Thank you, is there anything that i can do? or just wait for a better root method. it's annoying now because i'm not rooted but I also can't get OTA updates. thanks
