So, i was rooted before the update and it unrooted me. I saw a lot for people used z4root to reroot but for me it isnt working. I have ran it probably 8 or 9 times just to be sure. I says that it is accessing the shell, the the screen goes white for a few seconds and it reboots. Once it reboots i am still unrooted. I tried the temporary root just to be sure and that doesn't work either. Anyone else? The first time i rooted it via the android terminal. I havn't tried that again yet...
Thanks in advance!
make sure you are using the newest apk for Z4root which I think it is 1.3.0 and make sure usb debugging is checked in the phone settings, and also do a battery pull and put it back in and then try it again.
It worked for me after the update.
Definitely am using the newest z4 and made sure debugging was on. I just said "screw it" like 15 minutes ago and did the whole thing through the terminal again. What a pain, but at least it works. Rooted.
Z4root worked for me after the update, weird.

Yeah i even tried installing the app through the browser and both the official and beta releases of the sideload wonder machine. Then, just to cover all of my bases, i tried older versions of z4. I guess this thread may help others who have the same issue as me but it doesn't sound like anyone else is?
Although I had to reboot after installation before it would work.

Installed the update while crossing my fingers. It removed root. Just reran Z4root and then rebooted. Fine and dandy.

has anyone else found that there phone is no longer rooted after the AT&T JH7 update??? I noticed that the USB tether is no longer on the phone and went to use Barnacle Wifi Legacy and it told me that it only worked on a rooted phone. I checked BusyBox and indeed, the phone is no longer rooted. It looks like I have to start over. Has anyone seen any problems with re-rooting, lag fix or anything else after the update??

Samsung kies did the update for me when i plugged the phone into the computer. After it updated, it also broke my root and added all the att crapware again. I re rooted with no problems, and removed the bloatware. Phone is working great. I havnt really noticed any difference.

How did you do the update? I did it fine and root wasn't removed.

Has anyone updated with the Voodoo lagfix in place? I can always reflash the stock JF6 and then look for the update, but i am lazy.....
I updated through kies as well. Lost my root. used one click to root again and have had no issues.
I can't re-root! I want to re-root and install Unleash the Beast... I've downloaded it, renamed to update.zip... Put it in the internal SD, went into recovery and hit re-install packages and it no longer recognizes the update. I'm going nuts here trying to re-root... comes up... E:can't open /sdcard/update.zip (no such file or directory) Installation aborted ............... Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr... Help here..
That's odd. I did the OTA update by going into the system menu and selecting check for updates (I never installed the Kies software). I got the failed update message but the version showed it was JH7 after the restart, I'm still rooted and the bloatware did not reappear.
Also I never changed from the stock rom, I just rooted to get rid of the bloat and be able to sideload. I suspect those that did flash a new rom may have replaced the bloatware when they re-flashed to stock?
Hope this is helpful info for someone.

Same exact thing happened to me; Still rooted; Also have the JH7 suffix. Very weird, but all in all there are no changes to my phone.
How do you tell if your phone is still rooted?
(Yeah, still new to Android.)
My phone would not update...50% only whether I do it or ATT sends me the Update...Wife updated fine but was not rooted because I could not get into recovery mode until the update....then rooted hes...I Odin mine back to stock was on the phone with ATT for 2 hours.....Getting new phone
Never mind I used mini k I e s and the install went fine on both phones
No issues anymore.

I did the update just now and thought everything went well. This is my first time. Someone else put infused 2.1.0 on phone and everything that goes along with that. I followed the directions in beginning of post to manually do the update. Now all my root apps are telling me i'm not rooted. I rebooted, took battery out and back in. I have read entire Infused post and no one has had this issue? Before i started i went into ROM manager and made a back up first.
Not sure what to do now??
i APPOLOGIZE if i posted this originally in wrong place.
First all, are you sure you're running the Infused.v2.2.3?? Beacuse if you are, then you're rooted.
If not, then you can simply root your phone again.
Sent from my SGH-I997 using XDA App
Yes, under setting>about phone i was running 2.1.0 and now says the update worked and i am running 2.2.3 infused. I was rooted before update now all my root apps are being denied by SU. SU was in app drarer before update and all was well. SU still in app drawrer but now not working. I installed Root Checker from mkt and it does see SU 3.0 on phone but says i never got rooted or it was done wrong. I can get a log from that app if you will be able to make heads or tails of it. I tried to install busybox and it just fails causes it says i'm not rooted. so i'm confused...i uninstalled updates to SU, that didn't work...i have looked at all the SU settings and as far as i can tell i have it set right...
as far as rooting again?? I didn't do it the first time...someone did it for me..can someone give me a link for the best way to do that...and if i have to do that..can i just do it on top of what i have now and not lose anything? I read that rooting an infuse running GB is not or close to not possible? am i wrong? I hope so.
I have rooted my phone but not unlocked the bootloader and it seems my phone just slightly more sluggish than before. I noticed nova is now taking a few seconds to reload and it never used to do this. The phone just doesn't seem as responsive as before I rooted. Has anyone else experienced this? Or is it just me being paranoid.

Just flash the ATT RUU. Im using the Rogers one and dont notice this.
yeah just flash the RUU I did have this kind of issue the first time I've rooted the phone maybe I've made a mistake ... anyway after a fresh flashing with my Original "rogers" RUU and rooting it again everything was fine !
Good Luck

Before you RUU, have you tried just doing a reboot? (holding the power button until the phone reboots). I noticed that this phone may get sluggish without rebooting for a while. I'd also install a task manager program to see if any apps are hogging cpu.
Cheers,
Is this any different than turning it off (fastboot off) then back on again?
Different problem but similar topic.
I rooted my phone using the one click utility with no problem.
Today, I installed script manager to run a script for the V6 Supercharger mod. Everything installed fine until the very end, at the end of the installation, I received a message that Script manager has stopped working. I then closed it.
Now I'm trying to run a different script, as su, but I receive a "permission denied" message. I entered su into terminal and get the same message, "permission denied".
This led me to believe that I lost root. I tried running the one click utility again but received an error (I don't remember what it was sorry). EDIT : The error is: "protocol fault <no status>"
EDIT 2: I'm also unable to update the SuperSU binary. I only get "Installation Failed".
What is going on here? Did I just lose root?
whenever i try to load an app that requires root (95% of the apps ive tried) it freezes right when its granted. when i start titanium backup, the first screen where it says "asking for root rights..." just stays there even after it says it was granted. other apps that are granted root immediately just stay at a black screen. with lucky patcher, i can use it up to the point of where i apply changes (where root is required) but then it just keeps loading non-stop. the superuser app says they where all granted in the log, and there are no problems i know of there, but whenever root is granted to an app, that app freezes. (im not too good/experience with this) i couldnt find anything anywhere else that has this exact problem. (ps. i dont have a SIM card in yet, i use *#83786633 to get past setup screen on boot, if that means anything to this)
Hmm... Reboot? Reflash SuperSU/Superuser (depending on what setup you're using)?

Oh, that too, if you launch SuperSU it'll immediately ask to update binary if it's outdated. There have been several updates in the past couple of weeks too, so this may be your problem.

i have since fixed (kinda) this problem, i used odin and flashed lazarous kernel and tweaked 3.2. it didnt really "fix" it but got rid of the problem. but before, i had tried to use supersu, (i was on the regular superuser) but that too froze when it was granted root to update the binary.
regular superuser binary was up-to-date
I picked up an AT&T 4G LTE Note Pro (SM-P907a) yesterday and so far I am absolutely loving it. And though this is my first post, I am no stranger to XDA, I currently have Galaxy S4, Note 3, Note 10.1, and now the Note Pro, all are rooted running custom roms, minus the Note Pro. I have never hade to make a post before because I understand how to use the search function and have always been able to find the answersI have needed, until now. I am hoping someone can tell me if it is possible yet to root AT&T's version of the Note Pro 12.2, SM-P907A? Will CF auto root for the Verizon SM-P905 work? Or am I simply to ahead of the game and need to wait for root to become available? Thanks!
Same here. Just got mine. Want to use about 3 apps that require root. It's only been out one day. At&t probably didn't add anything to what Samsung did as far as locking the bootloader. All I really want at this point is root, I don't need a new room yet. Yet
Based on how long the Verizon variant users have been waiting. .. come back in September. In all seriousness though, I hope you folks don't have to wait that long...

brilliant!!!! thanks. I am installing busybox as I type this :laugh:
EDIT: haha spoke too soon, SuperSU won't install. Do you know how to get a custom recovery on it when rooted this way?
I can confirm towelroot is working for AT&T P907a.
Steps I took.
1. Download and installed towelroot (towelroot.com)
2. Ran towelroot apk, device rebooted.
3. Downloaded SuperSU 1.99r4 (download.chainfire.eu/447/SuperSU/UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.99r4.zip)
4. Ran SuperSU apk, installed binaries, disabled Knox
5. Done!!

Mine is. But it was actually worse before root.
during one of the reboots I've been having it actually showed custom aND a lock that is unlocked. now when I reboot it doesn't say that anymore. root checker shows that it is properly rooted so I'm not sure that there's a problem.has anyone else noticed this?
I've had a couple of reboots.. what is weird is that it flashes to the at&t logo the my lockscreen. When I unlock it its like it rebooted but it happens so fast.. I am not sure if its a system reboot or just the user session crashing...

When I reboot now I see this custom android and unlocked logo at the bottom of the screen. What I am unsure of is if it had this before I rooted.
If someone who based rooted their 907a reads this please check if you get this on a bootscreen during a restart.
I would like to hear from a couple people how their tabs are doing after root. I'm thinking about doing it.
My AT&T Note Pro 12.2 keeps rebooting. My WiFi only 12.2 restarts when attempting towel root and never patches the necessary files. My AT&T Note 3 was flawless though. 1 out of 3 ain't bad I guess. Really just want the ad block ability. Is there an unroot so I can get my tablet to stay on more than an hour?
Me and my friend both got the att 12.2.
After rooting I've had reboot issues while he hasn't. So I've been slowly uninstalling programs that I use and he doesn't. Thinking it might be one program or another or a combo of programs. First I uninstalled Greenify to no effect. Next I switched back to the Samsung launcher from Nova Launcher Pro. So far its been two days without a reboot since switching back to the touchwiz launcher.
I ran Nova launcher fine before root.. And my friend with the exact tablet rooted the same way has had no issues..
Are you running a launcher different than Samsungs?
Ill report back.. but so far so good.
That's a very good point. I'm using the stock launcher still but I do have a ton of apps. I'll have to try deleting some see if that has any affect.
Ok, some added details on my "rebooting" although it doesn't show the samsung logo, so I don't think it is a full reboot.
I have noticed that the only time it happens is when I lock the screen or when it locks itself. Sometimes it has been locked for a while and it will randomly do it. I don't believe it has ever happened while I was using it. Oh, and a few times it happened while unlocking the screen. So it all seems to be related to the lock screen. I don't have any apps that add functionality to the lock screen. I have a pattern unlock and Smart Stay enabled (although this never worked for me, maybe my face is too weird to be detected? Lol). I am going through the process of turning off things to see what might be causing the problem. The first thing I disabled was the LastPass accessibility extension. I will give it a day or 2 but I have been playing around with locking and unlocking with various apps open as i write this and I haven't had a "reboot" yet.
I noticed that another poster had trouble with a different app and like him this trouble started after I rooted it. The LastPass accessibility extension worked fine before rooting. I will tell you what this extension does and maybe it will help us narrow down what area of the system has been changed to be incompatible with certain software.
The extension "watches" for password entries on apps and webforms and offers to autofill with saved passwords.
Sorry for the long post, hope it is helpful to someone.
I've been running Lastpass for months on my Wifi model so I doubt it is the cause. Good idea to systematically disable things though. I have problems since enabling a custom keyboard though. Perhaps try disabling all other input methods other than stock?

You're right, after a while it started doing it again. I guess it didn't happen as often as I thought. I really hope someone comes along who knows how to diagnose crashes to find out what is causing them.
I've been getting reboots also every once in awhile on my sm-p907a it reboots.I also tried safe strap recovery for the at&t samsung galaxy note 3 version 3.75.It seems to be working I did a nanoid backup and it successfully worked but took awhile. I didn't do a restore because I don't want to mess anything up until there's a stock Odin firmware download to restore if something goes wrong.The dpi is of but u can c almost the whole recovery screen if anyone wants to play around with it
