[Q] AT&T SM-P907a Root?.

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!!

has yours been freezing and rebooting?
EDIT: also all I could find in the zip file was Superuser.apk, is that what you meant?

Mine has been running smooth, no reboots no freezing nothing. And yes unzip the file and SuperuserSU.apk is inside.

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

Well i managed to root it today with a certain methid...will post up a guide later after ive written it out...may see if i can further the progress now that ive rooted it.

I have the newer Model LGL16C/4.4.2/Baseband version M8610B-AAAANAZM-1.0.6060/Kernel version 3.4.0+/Build KOT49I.L16CV11a/Software version L16CV11a/"Lucky". Service provider is Tracfone, aka Crapfone. Attempts to root with Kingroot as well as Kingoroot failed, including several apps which claim to root your phone. I paid less than $10 US dollars for this phone and rooting it isn't high on my priority list, however rooting the damn thing has presented a bit of a challenge.
A working guide to rooting this phone would be great.

Hey mate,
I hate to be like a noodge, but would you be able to explain how you rooted? Would be so much appreciated.

Hey so i spent forever trying ro find a root that would work on this. Or a custom ROM anything really. Try going into McAfee Security, setting up an account, go to settings and disable the lock down device option. That was the problem for me at least McAfee was blocking any root from installing. From there i rooted my lucky with kingroot one click root. Hope this helps!

The Easiest Way To Root Your LG Lucky Without a PC
Easy way to install SuperSU on your LG Lucky
Just follow directions
Use KingRoot 4.5.0 app - google KingRoot apk all versions. Download and install apk.
Google replace kingroot with supersu. There will be a few sites popup, Mediafire is where the original .zip file is hosted. You can even search "how to replace/remove kingroot with supersu" here on XDA for more info.
Once you have downloaded the .zip file be sure to extract it to your INTERNAL sd, the script in the zip will not work from your external sd.
Open the extracted file and copy the mrw file to the internal storage, the path should look like /storage/emulated/0/mrw.
Now go to the play store, download and install Terminal Emulator. I use the one by Jack Palevich as it is only 551kb and easy to use.
Open the terminal emulator and type "su" in order to grant super user permission to the emulator,
On the next line type "/system/bin/sh - /storage/emulated/0/mrw/root.sh" and press enter.
Now the script will run and open up SuperSU automatically. Install binary when prompted with the "normal" option. Choose yes when it asks if you want to delete other superuser apps. (this removes kingroot).
Before rebooting phone, go into the settings of SuperSU and enable pro mode, change icon if you wish, enable survival mode, enable su during boot. I think you have to restart app at this point, can't remember as I did this months ago. Then restart the SuperSU app, go back into settings to Install SuperSU into system. Reboot phone,
When phone reboots, this is when Kingroot is finally uninstalled. Your phone will still be rooted with SuperSU. At this point you may wish to update SuperSU as this is version 2.46 and the newest version is 2.71 Beta. You can get the newest version of SuperSU from the thread here on XDA.
(thanks MrWolf for the script to make the change and thank you Chainfire for SuperSU, FlashFire, CF.lumen, etc...)

LGL-16C successfully (so far) rooted using Kingoroot.exe (latest version). Had to change from mtp to camera on USB then was recognized. Have SuperSU 2.72, SuperSU Pro, BusyBox Pro, and Xposed installed with Xblast and Lucky Patcher running. No custom recovery or roms available and I have searched hi and lo. Was a Net10 $15 phone with nothing to lose, so...will try more stuff out another day and post again.

Until any source is made there will be no recovery or ROM and tbh I don't have the time to dig into it currently.. The positive with rooting though is removing the bloat

Hi. Could you tell me how you installed supersu after rooting with kingroot? Thanks

Well I have root and supersu installed but it won't update binary. Any help out there? Thanks

Hey everybody. I did it!! Just root with kingroot 4.5 and replace kinguser with super sume. Worked great. All kingroot stuff is gone!! Ive rebooted 3 times to make sure and all is good.

Well if anyone is interested in looking at the source code, lg support has downloads available for nearly every phone they've ever made.
http://opensource.lge.com/osList/list?m=Mc001&s=Sc002
The file for the LGL16C is on page 2. Every thing seems to be listed alphabetically so it's easy to locate.
I still have my lucky and actually use it often although I no longer have it activated.

@ cecnwv,
Thanks for the link. Using Ares 11 and got "IP banned for 6 hours,try again later" after dbl tppng yellow icon. I did something wrong. Not at my PC. (unfortunately)
Thanks for any enlightenment,
michaeltheclyde
Two 10a LGL16C Tracfones, one free (recon from Tf) and one new $14.95 @ eBay from Best Buy, rooted with everything that has Google in the name frozen (TB) but no image to restore. (twrp)

Has anyone made a complete backup of their system apps using Titanium Backup? Being that one can't use fastboot/download mode (this phone has it locked out and a special USB cable is required) so my backup options were limited. I thought I did a full backup with Titanium Backup, but apparently lost it as I only found a small partial one on my PC.
Issue is I had uninstalled some bloatware and integrated updates for a few apps. But after factory resetting the phone it is behaving a bit odd. The notification bar doesn't really work anymore (apps still able to use sound/vibration to make a notification, but nothing appears in the notification bar) and I am unable to call the phone because it never rings and it immediately goes to voice mail. So the phone app is borked too.
Plus soft button to the right of the home button (I forget what it's called) doesn't bring up the app history anymore so I can't close background apps. (the volume buttons also don't really do anything anymore. Normally using them causes the volume bar for ringtone to appear and if using a media app, the volume bar for media audio comes up instead. But now nothing happens).
The phone is in a pretty broken state and even doing app updates from Play Store doesn't work anymore. Was gonna try and look around if someone has some app/data backup of the system apps installed. This is a TracFone branded phone and is currently running Android 4.4.2 (Kernel version 3.4.0+). Which is the last Android update they made for this phone.
Perhaps there's a single service/app that is responsible for notifications/volume bar that is borked. But I have no idea which system app is broken so a full app restore is my next best option.
The first thing wrong I noticed after resetting it was that the intial setup screen would return everytime I rebooted the phone. (only way i could get that to stop was freezing it in Titanium Backup). So maybe related to that app somehow. I don't recall ever uninstalling/merging update data for that perticular app though so it's probably a side effect of a different app going haywire.
EDIT:
Ok looks like I resolved the issue. I just removed the LGStartupWizard.apk then did a factory reset via Volume Down+Power button combo. It boots straight to home menu now and everything works. I guess the LG setup wizard thing got borked somehow. No more setup wizard but verious things like google account and whatnot can be configured manually via settings so no real loss.
All the missing things like the app history button, lock screen, notification bar, etc are now working as a result of resetting after removing LGSetupWizard.apk.

Awesome, this worked for me too, though the issue wasn't exactly the same. When I got the phone it had already been rooted with Kingo at some point and I noticed after resetting it that I had similar problems (it may have had the issues before the factory reset too, I just didn't notice one way or the other). Anyway, I was getting slightly different misbehavior. No recents key, yes, but also no response from the Home key. Pull-down notifications bar was mostly working, but with no visible notifications and I couldn't press the Setup "gear" in top right. My volume buttons and Play Store were fine, though, but I'd noticed that when I tried further factory resets (from the menu, not via hard reset) that it wasn't "really" resetting, as any downloaded files/etc. remained on the phone. I'd tried freezing LGSetupWizard already, but as you noted, that doesn't fix it for whatever reason. Deleting altogether does. Yay. I do wonder what the hell is happening during the root or reset that triggers this problem, though. It behaves as if Setup Wizard was just never completed, so you remain "locked out" of most of the same functions that are unavailable during setup normally. Oh well.
Anyway, as old ten-dollars-or-less type phones go, this isn't the worst I've ever used by a long shot. Heck, it's arguably better than a few other slightly bigger/newer/pricier crap-phones out there! (Looking at you, ZTE Legacy/Quest...) FWIW, I had "ripped" all of the APKs from /system/app and /priv-app for some reason back when I first got this thing, so if they'd be of use to anyone I'll be happy to upload all or individual files. Hell, if anyone can tell me how to do a full ROM dump I'd be happy to do that too, because there's definitely still no official stock image available online that I could find a trace of. (Granted, I don't know if there'd be any way to utilize a non-official backup image anyway or turn it into a flashable KDZ, but that's not my point...)

Thank you, I got my lucky rooted! I'm wondering if anyone ever found any custom ROMs or recoveries for this device. It seems like this was never popular for any of that, but thought I'd ask. Thanks.

Settings App crashes every time I Try to change screen lock option.

Hi
Recently I've unlocked my Z5's bootloader and rooted it.
I installed Paranoid android from the thread in the forum, everything was working fine, even the fingerprint sensor was working quite ok.
after a day I wanted to switch the locking option. so i wouldn't use the fingerprint, and only swipe to unlock the phone.
After i changed the settings the app crashed (it changed successfully to swipe instead of using fingerprint)
Now the result is that every time I try to change this specific setting (Screen Lock) the app asks me for my pin, I type it and the settings app crash.
I tried to restart, Clean cheche and uninstalling some google apps. nothing helps
Thank you for the help! :angel:

So obviously it happened because I am no longer stock, But as my experience goes, I know people may have stumbled upon the same problem in their past, and maybe know a solution that will work for me.
I do not want to go back to stock, Because Sony's Stock is ****, serious **** full for bloatware that you cannot remove and battery life that makes you cry.
Your message was not helpful, but thanks for trying

It most likely is a problem with the ROM installed on your device, as you already performed wipes and the problem persists. Try reporting the problem to the rom dev or if its that important, try a different rom for now
Good luck

August patch build number 52.0.A.8.131 too lagy, do not install

I was using my phone for the past few months, today morning I received an update of 96mbs, like everyone I allowed it to install. Now after installation my phone is unresponsive every 2 3 seconds after screen is lit. Anyone else with the same problem or a way to fix it. Mine is all stock, non rooted and bootloader locked.

Either write the Sony support please or if you're unlocked and rooted use migrate / titanium backup to backup the phone, make a fullwipe and restore your app backups.

No, for me everything is fine on last update

Can't write anything as I have mentioned earlier that it gets unresponsive after a couple of seconds. BtW I want to root it but the only thing that stops me is the DRM keys. Not sure what to do with them and how to back them up.

the last .133--- As improvements - the fingerprint sensor is more sensitive; interface is more fluid....adjusts the brightness to faster them
290419 in antutu score !

For me the device still like a swiss clock.
Everything works as it should.

Mine isn't working at all, every 5 -15 seconds the screen goes unresponsive but everything else is working in the background. The issue is resolved as soon as I lock device and unlock it again, it will work again for 5-15 seconds before going unresponsive again. One more thing, sometimes it will work for minutes before going unresponsive.
Mine isn't rooted nor have I unlocked my bootloader. Now I have 2 options;
1. Wait till I get September patch
2. Unlock bootloader and flash any custom ROM
I just want to know if it is hardware or software related, but before this August patch it was working flawless. I updated it, went to sleep and when I woke up this issue is bugging me.

If you consider unlocking your device, you could try a fullwipe/factory reset first
Or send speak with the Sony support and give them logs.

Unable to add lock screen

I unlocked the bootloader today without any noticable averse effects. When I was setting up the phone I restored from Google's cloud backup. While I was going through setting up the lock screen and it wouldn't let me. I would go through the motions to add a fingerprint but every time I would add a pattern I would be asked to add the pattern again. No matter what I do, setting up the lock screen will not stick! I also performed a factory reset and didn't restore anything from the cloud backup and no luck. Does anyone else have this problem? If you know how to fix it I would really appreciate it. Here's a couple screen shots, but I don't think they'll help. Here's to trying

I just got Magisk installed after flashing a patched boot image through fastboot and I still can't add the fingerprint or lock screen. Any suggestions are welcome

I was unable to lock my screen with my bootloader unlocked and i need it locked for some of my apps to work so i relocked my bootloader.

I updated to 105-75 and reinstalled magisk. I am able to add a lock screen. My device passes safety net also

I ran into this problem as well. It would not let me set any kind of lock screen. I was trying to install the Verizon software in order to get WiFi calling, per the thread elsewhere here in the Z4 forums.
I had thought the issue was related to either Magisk, copying from my old phone, or when I was trying to set the lock screen during the setup process, so I ended up doing the following (going from having bootloader unlock and running on Verizon rom but not being able to add a screen lock)
-Wipe data
-Flash initial Verizon ROM
-Do initial setup but skip trying to set screen lock in the setup process
-After setup, then set screen lock
-Update to latest Verizon ROM
-Flash patched boot image corresponding to the updated ROM
I'm not sure if the problem was Magisk related or if it got screwed up setting the lock screen during the initial setup process and skipping that and doing it later fixed the issue, but those were my two guesses. Eventually it all worked, and I now have lock screen and root via Magisk working along with WiFi calling. It passes Safety Net.

I had the same thing happen when I first got my phone. What ended up resolving the issue for me was that I flashed the image as root in Linux.
