Just acquired a Sprint S5 with 6.0.1 and PH3 firmware. I've never had a Sprint device before, I've always used Verizon. What's the procedure for root/bootloader on Sprints version?
You can root the G900P on PH3 with CF-Auto-Root. It WILL trip Knox if not already tripped.

Don't care about Knox, just wanna be able to use my kernel on this phone.
The correct version of CF-Auto-Root to use is available at https://autoroot.chainfire.eu/ - just search for G900P. It says the build ID is for PCA but it also worked perfectly for me on PH3.

Is there a way to get twrp on it currently?
After I rooted with CF-Auto-Root, TWRP was easy to install using TWRP Manager from the Play store.

Can't I just Odin twrp and install SuperSU through recovery? I'm new to sprint phones, thanks for the help.
CF-Auto-Root installs a version of SuperSu as described by Chainfire at the link in my first post. I suppose you could install TWRP with Odin but I don't think SuperSu will be of any use without root. I'm not really an expert.
Twrp will install the binary on its own, it will say supersu not detected, you'll need to install the apk/app of su. Unrooted ever? Interested to know if the new magisk works for galaxy s5
Sorry to piggy-back, but is there any type of process for unlocking the bootloader? Is the bootloader already unlocked on these phones? I've seen conflicting posts, but they're all old.

I haven't tried yet, but it's looking like you should be able to Odin flash twrp, then from there either install root or flash ROMs. But I can't get anyone to confirm for the PH3 update

Well, if no one knows I'll give you guys an update when I try it.
Well. We're going to have to wait a bit longer. The eBay listing for it said it was in "very good condition" and was described as having minor scratches on the sides of the phone. When I got it, it looked like this: http://imgur.com/a/qfywD
I powered it on anyway, thinking maybe I could fix the power charger tab, and put a tempered glass protector on it to cover up the weird issues with the glass. That was, until I tried the capacitive buttons, which didn't work. No lights on them either. Now I'm waiting for the seller to respond to my return request. Friggen rip-off.

Ouch, looks like it needs a new digitizer. I recommend Swappa instead of ebay.
I had a good experience with ubuyrite or something like that, let me return an s4 that wasn't to my liking, then let me return I t for full price when I wanted an s5
Ok, so I got my new S5, upgraded to PH3, then downloaded CF-Auto-Root from here: https://download.chainfire.eu/408/CF-Root/CF-Auto-Root/CF-Auto-Root-kltespr-kltespr-smg900p.zip
I already had adb configured, so I enabled developer options, then used adb to reboot to the bootloader (download mode). Drivers were auto detected on Windows 10. I opened the bundled version of Odin in the auto-root folder and flashed the bundled tar.md5 file. After the reboot I had SuperSu installed and working. Rebooted back into download mode, then did the same process to flash the TWRP 3.0.2-0 tar from the TWRP website. I'm currently doing a backup and we'll see if I get a working ROM installed today.

The SN-N900W8 Version of the Note 3 is finally seeing its Official Kit Kt Update.
The first carriers seeing the update are in Canada. Hope The rest of America will see it soon enough.
Please check Software updates in your phone or go to the usual sites to download and install via ODIN.
Please also report if you install this version in phones from other regions/providers, like South America.
Regards
You can download it from:
http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/
http://samsung-updates.com/device/?id=SM-N900W8
Just be sure to use your correct model and Odin version according to the instructions in each site.
Everything is under your own risk as usual.
I updated via ODIN without doing Resets or CleanUps, and it upgraded to 4.4.2 pretty nice, while keeping all my apps and without losing data.

I did an updated to 4.4.2 (KK) with Kies successfully, but I can't get root back.
Tried CF-Autoroot as before, but my recovery always says "recovery is not seandroid enforce" and just reboots to normal phone without supersu.

Friend: I think you better go and read the info in the Android Development Threads. The information there is very complete and fine.
Please be aware that the current root methods over 4.4.2 are for other models not the W8.
I think somebody needs to jump in here and test ways to do root. To be Honest, I don't do root with my Note 3, as I still have to find a reason to do it. For me everything is working nice without Root.
I was thinking about flashing official 4.4.2 for Telus/Koodo, but I haven't really seen anything that says it's rootable at the moment, so I'm hesitant to upgrade to stock 4.4.2. I'm really just looking for the latest Telus/Koodo modem from 4.4.2 (currently running MJ4 baseband), I'm pretty happy with CM11. Can I just extract the modem.bin from the 4.4.2 file from Sammobile and flash it with Odin?

If you have the time can you do a step by step guide on how you did the kit kat update, together with root and twrp, and if possible tell us where you got the right files from? Its kind of confusing what we can install and not install on our phones since there are so many different models for the note 3 and no one wants to trip knox if they dont have to.

Here is a quick and dirty guide of how I flashed and rooted 4.4.2 on my Bell Note 3.
1 download carrier firmware from sammobile
2 unzip to single tar file (N900W8VLUCNB7_N900W8OYACNB7_N900W8VLUCNB7_HOME.tar)
3 put phone in download mode (make sure you see the red/white text at the top i.e. if knox is tripped etc.)
4 open odin 3.09 as admin
5 click AP and select the tar file and then click start
6 wait
7 once phone is booted
8 download CF Root -> CF-Auto-Root-hlte-hltexx-smn9005.zip
9 I used odin supplied in the CF zip (Odin 3.07)
10 Select AP then -> CF-Auto-Root-hlte-hltexx-smn9005.tar.md5
11 Click Start
12 Wait for phone to reboot
13 Enjoy Root
At this point I also installed TWRP 2.7.0.0

My VOLTE is working fine on NHA. I noticed the support in the phone when this update was released a couple weeks ago. You need to log into your verizon account and activate the VOLTE feature. It will be working almost immediately after that. I tried a few video calls between my S5 and my wife's and they seem to work OK on my weak LTE signal at my house. You need to turn off wifi before it works too.
I plan to do a manual upgrade to NI2 today. (flash backwards and OTA to NI2 then re-root)

Everything worked great. I'm rooted on NI2 with Xposed and Wanam. After updating OTA to NI2, just flash the original NCG kernel, root, then reflash the NI2 kernel.
Worked Great for me too. Confirmed rooted on NI2
Is it currently OTA only? What about those of us that aren't using Verizon, probably have to wait for a full flash?
I have the Verizon Developer Edition of this phone with it being rooted and having TWRP custom recovery. I tried a 4.4.4 (NI2) ROM on it, and my phone got stuck on the first screen during boot. I was able to restore from a backup through TWRP recovery to get back up and running, again. Hopefully, a working version of NI2 for the Developer Edition comes out soon because I want to enable VoLTE for my phone..
Hey guys, any idea where to get the NI2 kernel? Sorry I wasn't able to find it via a search.

I have a Verizon Samsung SM-G900V which I did run Towelroot on to root on the original.
Verizon pushed out the NE9 OTA which I accepted and it broke root. I haven't yet gotten around to following the directions to take it back to root.
My problem is they are trying to push out the NI2 update over the last few weeks to me and every time I try to apply it the phone errors out when trying to apply it. Of course no additional information as to why.
I haven't seen too many people having this particular issue so figured I would ask to see if I should go through and root again then apply the NI2 to the system through a different method than OTA, or if there is a particular file I should check to see what the reason it is failing might be.
Thanks for any advice.

No. I didn't that I remember specifically, but it is possible that I did freeze something and just don't remember.
When I start the phone it boots up then presents me with an error saying "Unfortunately, VZWAVSService has stopped." Otherwise everything seems to be fine.
I didn't have any problems applying the OTA for NE9 so found it odd that this one wouldn't push out correctly.

Heimdall might work with the smaller kernel files but honestly I haven't tried it yet. Give Jodin a try, you can run it from the website or off your computer. Jodin uses heimdall so it won't work with large tar files but should be ok with the smaller ones. Here is the NCG PIT file you will need also. Don't worry it is the same pit for all the versions so far.

You're extremely lucky you did not lock your bootloader. I understand a rooted phone with a custom recovery will normally prevent an OTA update from successfully installing. But, to be on the safe side, I would NEVER allow an OTA update to be installed on my Developer Edition phone. Just a suggestion...if you have a Developer Edition S5 do not take an OTA or ODIN/Flash a retail firmware. If you do, your bootloader will get locked and you'll be left with a very expensive retail version of the S5.
I was wondering if its possible to install TWRP or another type of customer recovery on the Galaxy s3 verizon that has 4.4 running on it? I've gotten root (towelroot) Ive unlocked the bootloader(Unlocked symbol on boot) But everything i've tried to do to install twrp fails. I've tried odin and the TWRP app. TWRP app just deosnt work and odin says "Fail! (auth)" Is it even possible to install TWRP on the s3 with 4.4?

No, it is not. My friend, you are doing everything in your power to hardbrick your S3. There is only root access via Towelroot which you've accomplished and Safestrap which will only let you use another 4.4.2 VRUDNE1 based rom. I'm surprised you haven't hard bricked it yet upon reboot.

You did not unlock the bootloader on your device. Can't be done on an S3 running 4.4. That unlock symbol on boot has nothing to do with the bootloader.

Are you using the "Recovery Locked/NE1" version of Safestrap from the link I posted?
I'm sure the bootloader can still be unlocked. I mean it's Android 4.4! We're on 8 right now. I personally believe that because it took so long to unlock it the first time, once that hole was closed the same people did not want to put that much time in again when times have changed so much in 4-5 years.
I wish I just had more experience actually writing code utilizing exploits in a useful manner, instead of being able to put 2 & 2 together for a flowchart.

Unfortunately, from my research I have not found any way to unlock the bootloader . However, the closest I have ever gotten to get a custom rom was with Safestrap. Link: Safestrap- https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2797314
Got myself in a bind. Bought a new Note 5 today to upgrade to 64GB. Forgot to OEM unlock, and the phone is bricked for the moment. The new image N920TUVU3DPG1 isn't available to download yet. Any suggestions, or does anyone know where the new image can be found yet? What a rookie mistake! Smart Switch in emergency recovery tries to flash N920TUVU2DPD1 and fails. Downgrading doesn't work either.
same here. where can we get it from?

Just downgrade to an older version via Odin if possible. It can be done on Verizon so I don't see why not on yours.

I tried the previous version while in download mode using Odin. Loaded the stock rom in the AP slot and started it then it failed pretty quick. The com shows connected before I hit start but it still fails.

You have to make sure you have the correct firmware! You should be able to see which one is already on the phone while in recovery mode.

I think we're stuck with a very expensive paperweight until Samsung releases full firmware for the N920TUVU3DPG1 update.

OK, thanks. Looks like we aren't in the same situation though. I can't get into, or flash TWRP.

Hope u fixed ur problem, I'm still on Note 4, was waiting for u to fix the new firmware for us last month, and now we just got another one, so shocked Samsung is actually taking care of the Note 4 N910T,
My rom boots up, but can't see sim card, external storage, wifi doesn't connect and so forth, I guess they did something with the new MM that @dsixda kitchen doesn't work correctly somewhere anymore,
need to learn Ubuntu, not easy with no help,,, I made an external drive with 16.04 but need to java development and figure the rest out, not easy with 2 kids.. and wifey..
and u r also in FL, by the way thanks for the updater script for the past v5.1.1 roms we had...
Samsung keeps raising prices on these phones, ridiculous no reason the new Note 7 will be $849 cause they r only making egde style phones.
I'm glad they pushed me to my limits, first it was HTC, I had all the HTC phone till M7, for when they had the first tmobile dash windows phone.. haha..
don't know whats next, maybe crapple... no rush since the note 4 is still rocking good,
but the Note 7, water resistence is awesome is the only kool thing I guess.
Seems like I'm having the same problem frp lock and drk has anyone found a solution yet. I can't seem to find any way to fix this yet. Appreciate any help in advance
I could help with this issue, just let me know if you need my assistant I would have to remotely do this to accomplish this thanks..
So I just purchased the Honor 8 and I have been trying to root it because I'm not a fan of the lack of options that were available on my Nexus 6p. However everything I have tried with adb, twrp, kingroot and nothing works. I'm not that advanced with root knowledge (yes I still want to root). To be honest I'm at the point where I would pay someone to chat online with step by step instructions during the rooting process! I'm just so frustrated.

A little more information would help, what model are you on (FRD/ Al??), which firmware.
Essentially though, update device via OTA, unlock bootloader, flash TWRP via adb then root( flash SuperSU via TWRP).
There are several guides for all these steps available.
It is however essential that you use the proper TWRP and SuperSU found in the development section.
Unfortunately there is no root method for locked bootloaders

The model is FRD-L04, build FRD-L04C567B385, EMUI version 5.0
If your bootloader is unlocked get your TWRP and SuperSU/Magisk from here
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=71265571&postcount=1
and flash it.
For everything else you need to be a little more specific as to what problem you have exactly

ok so my issue is that after I flash twp and try to reboot phone it sends me to the device is unlocked and cant be trusted screen. it only lets me go to the OS or huawei erecovery and not TWRP. if it boots into the os and I try to go to recovery it wont boot into any recovery
So I finally got my device rooted but now my question is, does anyone know of a ROM that works for the FRD-L04 model? I'm wanting to install some different themes but can't seem to do it without a ROM. Not to mention most of the cool things you can do on a rooted device need one as well. Any idea's?

Got his problem https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-8/help/able-to-twrp-recovery-stuck-device-t3616478 and solved (partly). Did your root went fine? So BinarySU on newest Version? Could you please name the main steps you did?
Thank you!
