Thats for Kit Kat
Better check before u do all your sarcastic bull****.......That's for KitKat ,not Lollipop........
1) The person you're telling to check and accusing of sarcastic bullsh*t is the OP of the linked thread.
2) Literally the very next two posts are about using the exact same method for Lollipop.
As someone once famously said, "Better check before . . . "
I did try it and it didn't work on my Lollipop...... I did check it and I did try it.... Plus I did search for my the root before I asked for help......
There is a big difference between just helping and being a ***** about it...... Anyways..... Thanks for helping..... But it did not work for me..... Guess it's my phone.....
Let it go man..... Was not looking to get into a fight or something.....
Everything got wiped when I tried it..... So was pissed off a little.....

Every Note 4/Edge I've worked with has accepted whatever root method was used in KitKat for Lollipop. From what I've read, there may be a few models around the world that this doesn't apply to, but I haven't worked with any of those.
Mine's from India? Know anything about that? Is there a way around this?

Any chance of downgrading? I thought I saw a post somewhere about upgrading to lollipop while keeping root.
Will that work?
I'll try it out then.....
Sent from my SM-N915G using XDA Free mobile app
To be honest, I have no idea. It's just one of those threads I glanced at while looking for something else. I'm not planning on upgrading to lollipop until xposed and more support in general, so it didn't interest me at the time.
Firstly, sorry if I sounded sarcastic, there a a million+ people out there who start by just going "how do I root....." without checking and having the information stickied EVERYWHERE - been here a while & am a shift worker....
Sorry to hear it wiped your info, didn't have that problem because I always have everything backed up and start on fresh install, less problems that way...
As to getting root in KK and keeping it through a flash to Lollipop, Chainfire has a new flashing app called Flashfire that seems to be VERY good (as per all his apps) but it is a beta test you need to apply and join, you also need to be rooted.
I've used it to backup most of my data with good results but haven't felt the need to flash anything yet. It is the successor of Mobile ODIN so you will need to flash Lollipop bootloader, modem and non-hlos.bin in PC ODIN but it should be able to flash Lollipop while injecting supersu (1.46 Supersu) and keeping root.
I'd start there - Chainfire's Flashfire.
Good luck
Yes, that's what I was trying to remember. Best bet right there if normal root methods aren't working. I personally like to run towelroot, even though there's an effectively 0% chance of it doing anything, just 'cause I can

Hey All,
I didn't want to risk the ban as I have found this site very useful over the years so I'm posting this here. I know a lot of work goes into finding ways to root each device when possible so I thought I'd throw my $0.02 in.
I purchased a T-Mobile (SM-T217T) Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 last night and wanted it rooted. After hours of trying every method I could (SuperOne Click, Cydia Impactor, Kingo, and every other non Odin based root I could find) I gave up and decided to try some Odin methods.
I downloaded the CWM recovery for the SM-T217S
I grabbed The Universal Root file.
And lastly Odin 3.07
BEFORE STARTING put the untouched Universal Root file on your EXTERNAL SD CARD
Put the Tab in download mode (Power + Vol DOWN)
Open Odin 3.07
Connected your Tab to the PC
Click PDA in Odin, and select the CWM file which then asks to select the recovery file inside the tarball.
Make sure the ONLY options selected are Auto Reboot and F. Reset Time and then click start.
Once the Tab turned off I let it reboot fully before touching it to make sure I didn't brick it but You can skip that and go right into recovery if you want.
Reboot into recovery (POWER +Vol. UP)
**Vol. Up and Down control line selections and Power selects the line**
Select Install Zip
Select Choose Zip From External SD Card
Select android-armeabi-universal-root-signed.zip
Select Yes
Reboot
WIN!
Once I can find a way to safely upload a a nandroid or similar back-up (maybe a more experience Dev can send me a guide/walk me through it) I'll update this post with a link for a T-Mobile stock rooted rom. Or someone else can do it after you have root.
If You were part of creating any of the root files I used (found through Google and direct linked here) please let me know so I can credit you in my post.

Yes but if you are S-Off, you can get it back. Suggestion above was on point. You night want to read a lot more before doing something you might regret. Only root method is Sunshine and it does not work with 5.0.x at this time.

@xsteven77x ........ Right you are !!
Hi there. I have a Galaxy S6 G920R4 from US Cellular. I absolutely love it. I'd love to have a custom ROM to run on it, but I of course don't have the know-how. I don't see much in the forums about my phone. I just wanted to start a thread and get some replies from others to show support and kind requests that have this phone from the same carrier. Maybe a kind developer will help us out here with whatever modifications need to be done to get a ROM working on our phones. I'd like to thank you all for the work that you guys do to make phones fun for folks like us.
I second this. I would love to have a ROM for this device. It's a wonderful phone but doesn't have the ROM support of the bigger carriers as of yet.
I have been waiting patiently When I had my Mesmerize, it really only took one person to bring support on, and I was able to use other ROMs through flashing specific stuff. This was with an AOSP rom, so I'm sure it is much different with these Touchwiz ones.
I've got two US Cellular S6's, both rooted but would also love a new rom..
don't forget us with the Marshmallow System dump of touchwiz!!!
This would be great... But I don't think an pure Lollipop will be available for a long time, since Samsung's drivers aren't public-domain anymore.
People with some know-how though should be able to at least modify the TouchWiz version, though.
Kinda wish that were me!
I have the S6 Edge and hope this thread takes off!!!!

The simple solution isn't always simple for somebody on fixed bandwidth with no actual internet or ISP, a 2GB file is not an option for me at this point. A small APK that's mere KB's is a much better alternative. Thanks though.

MetroPCS Official Device Unlock APP - SOLVED
This will work if you have a un-rooted MetroPCS device
1. Please back up all your data ( any pictures, video contacts etc).
2. NOTE This step will delete all your data and wipe your phone clean - Do a factory data reset : - go to setting and search for "reset"
when your phone restarts it will load up the MetroPCS stock ROM and you will have all of the MetroPCS app suite including the official MetroPCS device unlock app.

We AT&T users also lost root with 6.0, nor can we go back. Im HOPING his method may have something we can use to root our phones as well! (although I highly doubt it, as it probably had something to do with the unlocked bootloader.)
Almost at the point of doing the unthinkable and jumping to an iPhone. More and more phones are being shut out of being able to achieve root
Google translate works better with Vietnamese to Cantonese (I can read it) as they're pretty close.
