There are guides everywhere including the first page of the dev thread.

And yes there is always a chance you will brick your device and it will never work again. The guides work for every version except the B80 and some B70s.

what are the chances? and why its happen ?
thanks for the help

The chances are different for everyone. Depends on how well you follow directions and still there is no guarantee. Either do or don't do

Nvflash way

Newer SBKv2 devices and your experiences with root

My question folows as well just a bit of rambling background!!
who has rooted new devices and who has bricked them because of it being a new sbk. has anone unrooted with the method i mention or another, and anything anyone wantz to throw in about rooting new devices..
I was one of those who were anxiously waiting a way to root newer devices...i mean looking every single day for a couple months.. and along comes razorclaw (The DEVS are freakin awesome) thats what i can say for sure.
Anyway i rooted right away and i will stay this way from my experience i will get more support from my devs than a manufacturer anyday, and when asus stops supporting our devices aftet the google 18 months the devs will be our only chance for continued enhancements and future support.
ive flashed a couple roms PRIME and KRAKD and man i cant wait for an ics rom wonder who will get it out first cm9 i my best bet. i ve got files from
Unlockr - how to unroot asus transformer
to unroot and im sure it will work now of course you would have to watch what you update to cuz the new update breaks razorclaw and the ability to root. BUT i hear lots of people afraid to root newer devices ive had no problems and i understand nvflash isnt there and that sucks if something goes wrong..... however, i havent seen alot of posts pertaining to people bricking their devices (a few yes) after razorclaw.` My main question is how many people are having a good experience rooting new devices and who has bricked, also has anyone succefully unrooted with the method at unlockr. or any other method. im just really interested in looking at the chances of bricking new sbk devices. should be good as long as your careful and check everything is god before you flash it and know its meant for your device. check md5sum always and i should be good right .

i just buy my asus transformer a week ago
i rooted and all went fine

Tried the 7.1 and razorclaw, neither worked!

[Q] Rooting Questions for a Galaxy Note Tablet

I am brand new to Android. I just bought a Galaxy Note Tablet 10.1 but it's the GT-N8010 model. I would prefer to have the US version GT-N8013 because it seems that there are a few apps / functions are not available in N8010 model.
I've seen several threads about flashing for phones but not for the Note Tablet 10.1. And I can't find anything about how to actually get started from the very beginning. I've always had Apple products so even the terms flashing and rooting are new to me. I need bare bones basic instructions on how to root my note tablet. I bought the ODIN app and it won't let me use it until I rooted and that I needed to be a superuser? I'm so confused... /:
Can someone please help me? What apps do I need and what's the actual process? I appreciate any help anyone could give me.
Thanks!

I used this thread that's sticked in the note Q&A to root my tablet. I actually did it yesterday after getting the german jb 4.1.2. I wanted to use the multiwindow app, so I had to root. I am new to this as well, but that thread got me through the process flawlessly. =) I used the pc version of Odin to do mine though.

[Q] Root help needed. sch i545 kit kat 4.4.2

I bought a verizon galaxy s4 a few weeks ago and foolishly updated it. I now want to root it and i havent rooted anything in months but i wasnt to worried until i cant seem to find if you can root with version VRUFNK1. I found 1 thread where someone said they bricked there phone trying on this version. If it possible please let me know and what method to use.

you can actually root it safely only if you downgrade back to the VRUFNC5 bootloader , the use the vroot method.

I done some research and am very lost as to what to do. there are no clear instuructions on how to downgrade from vrufnk1 to vrufnc5 at all that I can find. can someone elaborate on this and give me a little more detailed instuctions and possibly links to the files ill need or websites where to find them. And is it possible to even downgrade without first being rooted? Sorry its been years since i have done this and it was way simpler on the kindle fire.

I have a buddy thats in the same boat, he's got a newer s4 and wants to rom it for his first time.

I am also in this predicament. I had a galaxy nexus that I would flash different roms to every week but I upgraded via Verizon to the S4 a few months ago -- bloatware is awful and is taking up over 7GB of my 16... Would love to get a jump on rooting, but I can't find anything on this build aside from this thread and another few posts that were also unanswered. Any help or direction would be great -- do y'all think there will have to be another way to root this build, or can downgrading be okay?

Same boat
I too am in the same boat, for some reason with i545vrufnk1, I can't root so want to downgrade the firmware to a firmware that allows me to root, tried all the various methods to root but for some reason I can't, think it might be the firmware or the knox software package.

I believe you could root with Towelroot.

towel root won't work
I tried it with the latest official update and it won't work. I'm looking to root as well.

[How-To] Root I545VRUFNK1 4.4.2 (12-1-2014)
Look for this thread on xda search tab. It worked for me. Just follow closely.

I followed the downgrade instructions and got root back. Is it Verizon that makes it a pain in the ass? I don't know what I would do without this place and helpful people

Can the S3 i535 with 4.4.2 run CM13?

I have a Verizon S3 unlocked, no root, totally stock android 4.4.2 with baseband yudne1 and build kot49h.i535vrudne1
Want to confirm if I can install CM13 nightly. Everything I read indicates I need to root and update recovery and all that good stuff but it is not possible on 4.4.2
Just want to confirm if anything has changed in the past year with a new process. Forums have a lot of old guides so I would appreciate a quick yes or no. if yes, any link to a stable procedure would really be appreciated.
Thank you in advance. XDA is awesome and the people on this forum are some of the best.
Thanks,

Hey!
As @ShapesBlue says, if you took the OTA to 4.2.2 then you are locked. HOWEVER, there is a method developed by the typical enterprising XDA member that "Downgrades" the firmware by flashing part of the boot loader/firmware but leaves the crucial bit intact that doesn't brick the phone. Sort of a hybrid firmware flash. I believe it's supposed to open the phone up to flashing TWRP and non-stock custom ROMs. I know someone who used it and it worked on CM12.1 last year, but he also had some trouble after awhile (don't know if that was related to this procedure or not) and made an error later that bricked his phone, permanently it seems.
What isn't mentioned in that OP, at least the last time I looked, was that after doing this procedure, if you flash the firmware recommended in the CM12 and CM13 thread OP's, you will overwrite the partition that is spared in his zip file. Then you will be dead! He does explain exactly what partitions are flashed by telling you how to make the zip file. The updater-script I expect is not touched. Looking at it or in the other files you'll need to do this process will show you what's written where, but they have the partitions names. You can go into the CM12.1 thread OP on XDA for our phone and by clicking on the "d2vzw ROM Extras" link you can find all kinds of stuff, plus a few different partition tables that tell you how your phone is setup. There is other info in the OP itself about this and other topics related to flashing CM as well. (I'm the OP )
WARNING! Don't go into this haphazardly though. I would read through that thread thoroughly and see what if any success people are reporting, and ask questions. You don't want to ruin your phone!
It's in the "Android Development" forum in the root forum for our phone.
Report back on what you end up doing.:good:
