You need to tell us what rom version you're running? Go into settings->about phone and report the rom version.(like 4.1.2 or 4.3 etc..)

You have a locked bootloader, and you can't unlock it.
You can only root, install safestrap, and flash touchwiz 4.3 roms only.

Are you the same user that just posted in the Xposed framework thread about not being able to install Xposed?

Is this true for all 4.3 or just those with Knox? Last night I was trying to update from cm10.2 to cm11 and realised that trwp needed an update. After a some failed boots pf cm10 and 11 I decided to just go back to stock since I need it during the day..and unknowingly put the dreaded 4.3 on via odin. I understand how to get root...but what I really want is my bootloader again. Did I screw myself by putting 4.3 on? Thanks.

You're stuck on 4.3 now, your bootloader is locked. Using Odin to load a stock 4.3 firmware is the exact same thing.
You should've odin'd a stock 4.1.2 firmware, but it's too late now.

I'm in the same boat with 4.3 - rooted with saferoot, but when I went to download safestrap to flash the only customs roms I can (TW), I don't see a download for the SCH-i535. The closest I see is for S4. Where can I get the right Safestrap download?
Thanks for your help.

Awesome. This is exactly what I was looking for. I'm pretty set on doing this now, but I'm trying to find a solid rom to flash once I get Safestrap. Any suggestions? All I've found so far are S4 roms. The Google Play Edition rom looks pretty good.
Thanks again for your help.

Don't flash any ROMs for the S4 onto your S3. Through safestrap you can flash almost any of the 4.3 TW (ML1) ROMs found in this section:

If he rooted his Verizon S3 on VRBMF1 4.1.2, then he could use EZ Unlock v1.2 to unlock the bootloader. Or he could use Casual.

Great. Now if they accidentally or intentionally take the 4.3 VRUCML1 OTA, using EZ Unlock will cause a bootloader hard brick. Please make sure your friend understands this.

So I just ordered an AT&T Note 3 and from what I'm reading it appears that I should be hoping it does NOT come with KK preinstalled, correct?
Everything I see tells me that if I'm on KK there is no current root method, yes?
Also, if I am able to root am I able to use the custom Roms available? I'm coming from a Nexus 5 so everything seems much more complicated over here ?

Sure you can root KK roms, but KNOX will be triggered to 0x1 and warranty could be voided (depending on where you live). Btw i came from a N5 too

If I don't care about voiding my warranty can I accept the official KK update and still get root?
Also, how do you like it compared to the N5? Did you keep your N5 or sell it?

Where do you live? You can download the latest available 4.4.2 rom from here http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/2/ and flash it with Odin 3.07. After that flash a custom recovery and then flash the latest superSU.zip in recovery and you`re set. You can also flash a prerooted custom rom straight with a custom recovery. I sold my N5 cause i`am excited about the coming OnePlusOne phone and i might just try that one.

You can not flash 920F bootloader on 920T. That's why it fails. There is no mm bootloader for other variants than 920F.
You should wait until T-Mobile releases updates.

Sorry to hijack a thread. Having a similar issue with my g920w8. I can flash modem and TWRP but I'm also stuck on the bootloader. It's the only thing stopping me from rooting.
Xtrestolite Rom thread has an extensive detailed directions and all proper links. But that dang bootloader is just being... Ugh..
How do you turn off reactivation lock exactly? I'm looking through threads and trying various little details I find such as this.

There are two Bell mm ROMs available via Updato, have you tried those via Odin?
You have to disable reactivation lock while booted into a (near) stock ROM.

Hey thanks for replying!
My issues was actually just an isolated one. I was trying to flash a bootloader older than mine and SuperSU was being pain not wanting to flash.
So went back completely to stock, used chainfire root and finally the process was easy from. Somewhere, something was just being ignorant =)

I didn't flash Marshmallow. It was the actual OTA =). Problem was resolved though. Just the phone having a hiccup.
Hello,
Trying to find information about this specific model, This seems to be the most appropriate forum to post questions.
I have the Samsung factory unlocked version 930u. It may be possible to unlock the bootloader using OEM unlock, although I haven't tried yet.
Is there a method to root this device? It's a Snapdragon version, not Exynos. All information I could find about root was about the 930F with Exynos. Before voiding the warranty, I need to get all the info at least.
Thanks.
The same method as all carrier variants. The G930U is the same phone as the variants where the only difference is not being controlled by the carrier, otherwise same firmware essentially.
Ok, so I should be able to flash Chainfire 930f firmware on it?

No, you can't flash Exynos firmware. Only US firmwares. You flash the Engineer kernel which is rooted. The, currently, only root method for US variants
Thanks for pointing that out.
So, first unlock the bootloader through oem unlock, then flash this file. Do you have a link to it, make sure I get the right one?
Thank you very much for your help!

The bootloader is still locked. The OEM Unlock in developer options is simply a toggle to allow the bootloader to be unlocked, which it can't currently.

It says G930A but it's the same method across all US variants.

I have a problem when trying to root this device samsung S7 930U. I tried 3 versions of Odin, 3 usb cables ( samsung original) and all the USB ports in my PC, the one in the front and 4 in the back. I always get 2 results. Or it stays "SetUp Connection" forever...or just FAIL! Auth. I don't know what else to try.
Im trying to root the device just only to change the IMEI number, since I can't make it work in my country in Southamerica.
Already check in other posts and other forums...no results yet. But I won't give up :laugh:
Any ideas?
Thanks guys in advance! :good:
Soo i was reading this morning chainfire came up with root for sm-955u has anyone else read or heard this or tried it out?

Yes, they left out the part where you enable the OEM unlock from Developer options. Probably because it isn't there anymore... First device Sammy removed or "hid " OEM unlock at the U.S. Carriers insistence no doubt. Root will happen for this.

CF-Autoroot is an automatically generated root file for phones with unlocked bootloaders. So it will more than likely never work on an US variant of our devices.
