My phone is the AT&T version of the note 2. The root that I used was for this version. As for the boot loader, I'm not sure what you mean. I ran not the files through odin, just as described in the video.odin showed that everything was good. As did the phone until it re booted. Samsung is doing automatic Security updates now. And after the phone booted up, a message popped up from Samsung saying "an attempt to access a Secure area of your phone without authorization has been blocked."
My next step will be to install a custom rom. But I don't know if they will be able to block me from accomplishing this as well. This whole thing is really getting frustrating. It all started when I ran the update to 4.3 couple of weeks ago, and lost my tethering ability. This all I want. Just to get the free tethering app to work again. I had jelly bean 4.1.2. And the tethering app worked perfectly every time. Now with 4.3, doesn't work anymore. Do I need to downgrade back to 4.1.2? Or is their an easier solution? I'm wondering if it will matter what jelly bean you're using anymore if they're going to do auto security up dates that block all these type of things like custom rooms and rooting. Please tell me I'm wrong!
Thanks.

as of my knowledge ur bootloader was locked and KNOX was installe on ur mob through security updates and u might have to flash stockrom of specific model number search for flashing stock rom search for ur model number and carrier specific roms ask for it in the q&a thread for ur specific mobile you can ask for it <a href=http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-note-2-att><here>
Hi there I've been away from rooting for a bit and i have been trying to root a broken s7 edge more recently. Its got 6.0.1 stock on it. It all works except the volume up button. I seem to be able to access the phones files and sd card in windows. I can also flash 6.0.1 it seems by forcing it into download mode. But its still stuck on FRP and i can't find any way to unlock the bootloader to install custom software. I've been trying all the tutorials i can find but none work. Is this Samsung patching these security holes and so they no longer work? The password Is unknown for the Google account and it's not blacklisted or anything like that I've not used the SIM in any tutorial though. So is this doable or is it impossible at present? It all seems a lot more secure since my last root :s Thanks

Try this for bypassing Factory Reset Protection(FRP)

Or this

As for rooting the device, there aren't many methods that work on lollipop and newer firmwares other than maybe trying Kingroot and Kingoroot or flashing TWRP(not an option for you since you have a locked bootloader) for your model number then flashing Super or Magisk.

Hi all I recently needed to use my phone for work and cant have root. I flashed oreo with Odin and my phone is still showing root. Is there something I can do to remove it 110%?
I have been trying for about a month to root and atleast boot this SM-G920V to a rom I dont even care if it's rooted but anytime i try to follow a youtube video exactly it still ends up failing i have used adb to boot to bootloader then turned off phone booted into download mode to bypass the secure download but it still says SECURE CHECK FAIL : (RECOVERY) I don't quite understand why Verizon just has to be so difficult but this may be a dumb question is there anyway to actually switch the model of this phone without just changing that file that displays it to thus switch it to a root compatible version or will changing that actually make the phone compatible I don't know if anyone has any tips as to booting this verizon galaxy s6 nougat 7 to a custom rom or even rooting though I was told that the verizon models are incompatible for unlocking bootloader but I know theres ways of booting to roms without unlocking bootloader though you need root is there anyone that doesnt need root or unlocking bootloader I have also tryed the old ping pong method and that still failed. please let me know if you have any knowledge of any of this thank you in advance
No way for custom rom.
Flash the latest official, install Package Disabler app and get rid of the bloatware.
Then enjoy the phone.
Greetings My Brothers. I have a huge Problem. Sometimes ago I got a Samsung Galaxy S7 Verizon Model, thought it will be cool to have such a model, just come to think of it; Snapdragon 820 what else did I wanted again. And the phone started running Berserk. apps downloaded and installed from PlayStore don't work at all even WhatsApp does work properly. The phones freezes all the Time, it overheats all the time. So I made a decision. root, install custom recovery and install Custom Rom like lineage OS. I'm accustom to those stuffs like Odin, download mode, etc. I don't have any problem with a phone stock on boot loop, it's something I have been fixing, so I'm Used to It. My SM-G930V security level is High with its latest android version Oreo, the bootloader is locked. tried to unlock it with ADB and Command Prompt. It was a failure. tried to get some help On YouTube. Failed, all the videos I watched was about SM-G930F none of them talked about SM-G930V, I came across SM-G930V bootloader Unlocking, rooting and custom Rom but, it wasn't compatible with my SM-G930V. So let Me ask You Guys this question. Can I really unlock the bootloader, root the phone and Install a custom recovery, and A custom Rom??? If there is a slight chance or possibility of doing so, please Brothers help me out, because I am unable to use the phone to its full potential. Thanks. Michael.
