Hi all,
I am very fresh to this forum. Even though I got my account created in 2006 on this website I never used it.
All over the internet and the forums people mention about rooting the phones. I never really cared about rooting my phone out of the fear of bricking it. So I always put that option away. Now its serious time to learn it, as I am understanding the real benefits of it.
I own a Samsung Galaxy Note LTE SGH -i717D which is from the carrier Telus in Canada. How do I start of with rooting on this device? What is the latest version of Android available for this device for rooting? Are the custom ROMS really flawless?
Somebody please kindly help me get rid of the starting trouble I have.
Thanks all.

This has got to be the easiest method of rooting. It's what I've used on a few different phones and has never failed me!
Custom roms vary in stability. If they are based on source code they are going to be more stable than others. They will say "built from official source". Other roms can be just as stable depending on the developer and how much effort was put into the rom. You have to read the threads on the roms to compare issues if any, then pick the one you want to try.
The best advice I can give you is before you install or flash anything you verify it's for your device, and read the instructions at LEAST twice!
Welcome to xda ... I suggest you first read the xda rules. This is the general forum. Not for questions. There is a Q &A forum to ask questions in ... After searching.
That said ... Super everything thread is for you.

That link works basically for all i717's but the OP has a Canadian Note and it requires another step.

Admin, my intention isn't to hijack this thread. But I thought I'd ask prior to starting a new thread since I having the same concern, and before I get flamed. Please let me know which approach would be suitable to ask more questions while staying on topic.
I've been researching and reading tons of information everywhere. However I reached the conclusion that the more I read the more confusing it became. Whenever I thought I was ready to take the plunge, It's so overwhelming even figuring out what's current or what's outdated methods and files needed - I simply can't catch up without direct assistance.
OP: Thanks so much for starting this thread. For me, being a long time Android OS lover, yet entirely newbie when it comes to rooting jargons - I couldn't have said it any better - you took the words right out of my mouth!!!... The only tiny difference is that I have the SGH -i717R (Rogers).

Hi Lousk,
I know its really hard for a newbie to even think of where to start when it comes to rooting, because there are tons of information on rooting all over the internet and moreover confusion too. I learned it the hard way and I am glad to say now that I came out with flying colors. As with each official update, my device was getting totally sluggish, non responsive and out of all very little battery life. I couldn't stand this at all, one evening I sat on the internet, took the whole night before starting to do on anything with my device.
I didn't install any custom roms, but I rooted it which in turn helped me turn off a lot of services running in the background and also uninstall all the Samsung bloats, mainly the touchwiz. That thing is really resource hungry. Now my device is working at lightning speed and I have a feeling that it wont be obsolete in another 10 years.
I have all the files and also the instructions on rooting on my drive, unfortunately XDA is not allowing me to paste the link over here unless I have made 10 posts. They say it is just to prevent spams. If you are willing to give me your email id I can sent the link to you.
Go ahead and root your device to get the full potential of your unit.
Good luck,
Sumesh

Thank you so much for your replies and links.
I'll follow up and let you know of the outcome or if I have additional question(s).
You guys are great!
First of all, I am not sure that this is the right place to post, but I am new here so please move the topic if it is not the right place.
Secondly, English is not my native language so excuse any mistake I can make.
Thirdly, I am not an Android pro so I may use words for others, I hope you'll understand what I mean.
So, I was a bit stupid yesterday and followed a tutorial to root my Galaxy Player 5.8, tutorial that didn't apply to the Galaxy Player 5.8. Now, It is stuck on a screen showing a yellow triangle and an icon that surely means "connect the device to the PC". I can still use Odin. But What should I use Odin for ? Is there some working ROM or something somewhere that I can get on my device ? Even if that ROM is not rooted, I'd still like to be able to boot my Android instead of being stuck at that screen.
Thanks for reading and thanks for any help provided.
edit Nevermind, found what I wanted here: http://www.gsmkhmer.com/index.php?topic=8496.0 (remove spaces to get the link, I can't post links until 10 posts)
Now my Galaxy Player works like it used to work
How is it compared to the 5.0?

I can't really tell, I never owned a 5.0
In fact this device is my first Android device, so of course I am really amazed by everything it does, even more now that it is rooted
It is rather big but I was used to carry calculators in my pockets so it fits pretty well
The only downside of the big screen is that if you only have one hand available, your thumb can't get everywhere on the screen
Other than that it is great

I am in France, there was a website called Export Privé (I don't think you are interested in any link if you are in America, and I don't know if I have enough posts to post links either so I won't try since it is easy to findd it on Google ) that exported those devices to France for approximately 340 €.

Yeah, that website is a bit weird, it was down right after I downloaded it, then was back, so maybe it was down when you checked but now it is back
To anwser the question, yes, I still have it (if my hard drive didn't fail while I was playing on my Android), but I don't know if
-I have enough posts to attach files
-It is legal here to attach it
Also, I have a new question now: How can I upgrade my Galaxy Player 5.8 to Android 4.2 ? I don't recall seeing any Cyanogenmod for this model

It is legal to attach it. But you can't because the file is too large. You can upload it somewhere like dropbox or google drive and post the link here with spaces in the link so all we have to do is get rid of the spaces.
As for 4.2, its probably the same story as every other galaxy player. Samsung doesnt want release it so we have to make it. Might have to do the same if you want it

So what is needed to make a custom rom with 4.2 ? Are the files I uploaded enough for someone to make it ?
Thank you so much! Sorry for all that trouble uploading into so many different parts! Initially I thought of sending you a PM with my email and then you could transfer the file to me via wetransfer.com or something if the link is still down. You're awesome!
By the way, the link is back up! Thanks again!

Lol, why awesome ? I just uploaded some file somewhere, I didn't even create it myself
Keep your "awesome" for the one who will transform those files into a 4.2 rom
I really hope this will happen
Yeah I hope so too..
A quick question, which version of odin did you use to flash the rooted ROM?

Well, the first two steps don't seem very hard.
But the "Then modify for your device" sounds tricky for me, except if you have a complete-noob-step-by-step tutorial

True but there are so much of them that it becomes hard to found the right one
More seriously, would this one (not on xda but still seems to answer my needs pretty well) be good ?
Also, will there not be difficulties from porting a rom for phones to a Galaxy Player which is not a phone ?

Indeed, I know nothing about computers and Android devices, I only interested myself to calculators until my parents accepted to buy me an Android
So yeah, I think I won't manage.
I am running Android 4.0.4, but I heard (or read) that 4.2 supports launching multi apps (don't know if that sentence makes sense, sorry, I am not a natvie English speaker) so I was very interested in that
hi XDA members, I'm looking for any available root (if there is any) for my Coolpad Quattro II (801EM) 4G phone. I've looked almost everywhere and decided to drop here and ask if there will be one in the near future. the phone is pretty nice for a mid range phone but since I've always used rooted/ Jailbreaked phones, I didn't want to make the exception with this one.
is there any info I need to give on the phone or something that the devs need?
also thanks in advance.

Nothing I've seen been looking my self. I've tried a few to no avail. Framaroot, kingo root, towelroot, none of which work.
I also need to root this device. Kitkat is really a pain. SD card is really useless with it. Root can only save my tablet from being tossed. Anyone have discovered root?
Nothing yet! We must wait! XDA is the only i trust from the past!!! For rooting and for they apps for rooted phones and tamplets!
Unfortunately this tab can't be rooted as of now, Tested "King ROOT & One Click". both didn't work, But to be fair let's give it a bit more time for the developers to put on attention, this tab has potential

I have install many games (and unistall them for memory)! Is good! Fast with no lag to anything! The only games i see problem is from Nvidia Tengra or Shield which are not compatible with Samsung Galaxy Tab E!
I agree with your request to the root of this device, I hope that developers will soon find a way.
I do not understand why there are several guides that give kingroot working on this device.
Yea, waiting on root myself.

Those sites you've mentioned are gathering traffic, i tried informing them to stop misleading by sending them a post. So for now i think we should stick to XDA. Hopefully some devs will hear us...
think there is some hope of root?
I'm waiting for this also. This tab comes with 8GB and to use my SD with link2SD i want to root it. But XDA worths the patience so lets hope it will be soon.
Maybe the problem to the root, is due to processor uncommon.

I Don't think it has something to do with the Processor, But who knows? i might be wrong. Anyways it all comes down to the firmware and the attention to the devs who has the unit in hand.

I agree, but for now let's cross our fingers, anyways if things won't go well for our tabs, then it's high time to sell it or have it as a portable media tablet for movies and so on... But yes i am thinking of selling my tab, since i have the note 10.1... But still i would love to have my tab "E" rooted.
i found this chinese site for our tablet.. i think this is the only to root our phone that is flashing a prerooted stock rom.. i havent tried it yet,, here is the link and tell me what you think about this..

anyone using this device found a way to root this on android pie?
or a custom rom maybe?
The stock firmware really sucks (full of carrier apps, no bixby voice)
it would really be nice flashing a custom rom for this device so it wouldn't feel like a mid-range samsung phone. LOL

Only a few models are, if your isn't one of them about the only news is don't expect one anytime soon (after you read the quoted portion on another thread asking about rooting I posted in another thread asking about rooting).
Currently no matter how many times it is asked the answer has been the same (so asking is rather pointless). Unfortunately one shouldn't expect that to change as it stands...
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=79378707&postcount=2
**Side note there should be a sticky/pinned thread at the top of the Q&A topic repeating the answer. Can be a small FAQ thread or something/anything. Figure would help new members for using better thread titles, the search feature of the board (and how to use it in a quick tutorial if necessary), when asking for help some pointers on how to explain the issue/problem and what kind of details they should give (but fail either by mistake, impatience or being unaware).
I also use this device. I have unlocked the bootloader, but until now can't find a way to root. Desperately want to, as too many bloatware in it
