Hello awesome people of the rooting community, I've been searching like crazy(with no luck) to find a way to get my beautiful note 3 back to root access ever since i had to buy a new one when my old one fell apart.
i figured i turn to these ever so helpful forums, to be specific its a Sprint Galaxy Note 3 running 4.4.4 NK4. The reason that's underlined is because i have yet to find a way to root the November NK4 update on the forums, YouTube, cellphone stores i know of....etc..
is it even possible? if someone can help me restore my note 3 back to its former glory it would be much appreciated cause I'm out of options and made an account just to post to these forums.
i have had some experince rooting phones(using odin, and cf auto root) but this is a new ballpark for me.:crying:
2 years ago I buy my galaxy s4 unlocked version from amazon.com. When I came back to Turkey I registered the Cellphones imei. After that I rooted my galaxy s4. I watch lots of tutorials and most of it did not work out. At the last try I was able to root my device. After a year my uncle bought me a gear 2 neo which needed a higher version of android. So i plug my galaxy s4 and updated trough kiosk. The result was my galaxy s4 was mys galaxy s4 lost its root acsess was gone and system was updated. Also most of the apps first run and then give a error. For example i downloaded can knockdown 3. First it worked fine then it stopped working. One of my friend suggested I need to downlad a rom and suggested cyanogenmod. I tried one button installer but it said the device is not supperted for this installer. But my phone is listed in the supported devices(GTI9500). Please help me. My cellphone is slowly dying. Also last thing. They say making a change on the phone sometimes deletes the imei registiration.
Thank you for using XDA assist. Any time you update you're firmware you'll lose root. So that's normal. To root it again see this, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2292615&page=50 If you still have problems you can ask here, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2192886 And aslo see this, http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s4

Hi All,
I just picked my new phone up this Saturday. A Samsung Galaxy S5 NEO.
When I got home and thought I could root it and install custom roms on it, I saw to my surprise that there weren't any....
Now I learned that this device is new, so nothing is developed yet, but also that Samsung put his own soc in it (Exynos 7580).
Is there any change there will be root for this device as well custom roms?
I hope so, because that's why I like Android phones, would be a pitty if it's not possible with this S5 NEO.

Hello, and welcome to XDA!
Root seems to be one of those things to hang tight with for this device. As for ROM's, it is said that Exynos is harder to design for, but so is Intel Atom (anything but qcom really), and yet I have seen Intel Atom ROM's around.
But it's hard to tell how the prospect of custom ROM's will pan out. Is the S5 Neo a popular device? Popular enough to bring in developers? That is the big question, and will determine whether custom ROM's will happen or not.
At any rate, please create an account so you can post in other forums. From there, check out this thread, and put in your thoughts:

Hey I was wondering if anyone can link me to a super simple guide on how to root my Samsung Galaxy S6, I don't care if I trip Knox or not, I just don't want to lose all my files, thanks .
I'm on 5.1.1
My Carrier is AT&T
My Version is G920A
My Kernel is from 9/19/15
I'm looking for the same thing... or any solution to help using Titanium Backup or something similar.
I've just bought a s6 (coming from a Note 2) and all my apps are saved with Titanium backup
From my experience, DON'T root your 5.1.1. If it was 5.0.2, you could do it easily with CF-autoroot. There are some unofficial root method and a root called "pingpong" root. Try search for that. I rooted my 5.1.1 and it have been bricked for almost a week now. It can't be fixed.
. I am a newbie to Android OS rooting.
I have a Samsung S6 that used to be used on an AT&T account and I want to use it to do an experimental change to a newer and simpler version of the Android OS. The phone is not being used at this time, I am now a Spectrum subscriber.
I have installed Root Checker Pro and it reports the phone as a SAMSUNG SM-G-920A with Android version 7.0 and as not rooted.
My plan now is to use the Free-Droid - Rom installation assistant from this thread to do the rooting and OS change.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/general/rom-installation-assistant-t3944831
If someone could suggest a good choice for a custem ROM that is known to be good on the S6 and well tested it would be very helpful.
And any other suggestions would be appreciated too.

I recently learned that the Samsung S6 (SM-G920A) I am working on here is probably a locked and unhackable device. I had chosen to use that as a learning project because I had it on hand and it was not in use on an active phone service account at this time.
So I am marking this thread as "[SOLVED]" and am no longer pursuing getting a custom ROM on the Samsung S6 (SM-G920A).

I have a rootable s6 edge att verison for sale, jack. Are you interested in this special edition s6 edge?
