Rooting new model# sch-1925

Well Ive been trying to root my galaxy 10.1 and no matter what method I try, I load odin and try to install cwm it always fails. I have all the latest drivers. But my model number is differetn from every rooting guide I can find.......I have the 10.1 running 4.1.2 and model # sch-i925. Anyone know of a method to root this model or know why odin keeps failing on me?
I think the Problem is with CWM. The device is very, very new and because it has LTE the Hardware will definitely be different from other modells. I think I've read the device number somehow in the context with TWRP. You might want to check the TWRP Thread if TWRP is compatible.
If you just want root, Try the framaroot app. Worked on my n8020 lte

Actually the Framaroot did work to give me root, but it acts strangely. It doesnt stick when I reboot and have to re-run the framaroot almost everytime I reboot, but at least I get some root access, to over-clocking apps and titanium back-up and a also my sdcard speed reader apps, but like I said, it doesnt stick and for a temp solution it works. Hoping someone is working on a perm root method for the sch-i925 witha working recovery, thats where Im really stuck now since no one has developed a working recovery for the sch-i925, tried all sorts of the cwm updates and also tried twrp. No recovery method will give me an option to install zip files from sdcard. I also cant load the new radio and/or flash any new splash screens. So any devs out there that want to work on this, Id gladly donate heftily to get some dev support for this new model.
Root
I tried Framaroot on my galaxy note 10.1 4.12 with MK1 build
i told it to install superSU when done
i clicked on sam got error of try another exploit error 9
i clicked on Frodo got error of same
i clicked on Aragom and it took a while and then came back like it worked
i clicked on superSU and got an error of There is no SU Binar installed, and SupierSU canot install it this is a problem
and if i try to unroot using the same method it gives me the same errors but it will not remove SuperSU
Any ideas???
Is anyone working on a root for the sch-i925 anymore? It's a great tablet, but it needs to be rooted. Is there anyone out there?

By now it's too old I guess. I have the same model and have found nothing to root this device.

Bump. Recently acquired. will pay for ROOT!!

[Q] Samsung Galaxy S5 on Verizon stuck on 4.4.2? Root problems....

Hi! I'm new here... Hope I'm in the right place, but I've been having problems with my GS5. I rooted it using towelroot about 3 months ago which was successful, then a Verizon system software update was pushed and installed to my phone, and that somehow installed fine, but now root checker says my phone isn't rooted and towelroot says my phone isn't supported... For months now my phone has been trying to install the 4.4.4 update with no luck, when it reboots and is in the middle of installing with the little android dude with his chest open, it says 'error'. Has there been a fix or way around this? Any way I can completely factory wipe everything?

Verizon may of patched the towelroot exploit with the new update. Have you tried posting this in the VZW S5 forums?
From my CM11 S3
Towel root is dead for firmwares newer than June 2014. You can try chainfire for root. If t he 4.4.4 firmware isn't updating, try flashing with Odin.

Thanks for chiming in but I basically said that already. There's no need to duplicate it. You won't be able to run supersu for root as you can't flash any zip files on a locked bootloader

Thanks for replying but I basically gave OP actual useful answers to his direct question.

Its too bad there is not a way to block any updates.. These companies want to control all we see and do on our devices. I have made the decision to dump my smart phone.I am going to get a flip phone and only use for phone calls.

[ROOT][new][SM-T53x-SM-T33x] ROOT without a PC on Tab 4 10.1&8.0 . Knox 0x0.

Hi . I present new method to get Root with last build of KingRoot . Main advantage is KNOX 0x0 . And then if you want you can to change him to superSU .
Get Root without a computer, on any version of Android, you can use the latest (4.62 as of this writing) version KingRoot. Complete information here KingRoot http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/apps-games/one-click-root-tool-android-2-x-5-0-t3107461 . (Read required).
So what we need to do to get Root .
Download the installation program KingRoot v.4.62
Attached below .
Turn on : debugging via USB, boot from unknown sources, and Wi-Fi.
Then install and run the program Kingroot. You make a couple swipe up and click on "Try". Next, the program also checks the possibility of installing Root , and eventually appear at the bottom of the key "TRY TO ROOT". Hit it, and wait patiently for the end of the process. Screenshots are in OP KingRoot thread .
For T337A owners : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=64747325&postcount=14 and
http://forum.xda-developers.com/tab-4/general/rooted-nk2-att-t377a-t2992639
If there is a need to replace Kinguser to superSU, it is easy to do using the Super-Sume http://forum.xda-developers.com/general/paid-software/supersu-please-t3110954 . Working version 9.1.9 SuperSU Me-Pro .
For 5.1.1 owners you must to try Super-Sume build 9.2.6 or above . Notice for 9.2.6 build :
SuperSU Me Pro v9.2.6 Patched
What's New
- Please leave a review, I need to hear from you
- Updated SupeSU to v2.52 to support newer Android builds
- Hopefully this will help with Stage 2 hanging for some users
- Kingo root users, on Stage 2 the app might hang, just force close it and run it again..
- Watch for SuperSU to prompt you for root access at re-launch
- Yes you will now be prompted for SuperSU to update binaries, just choose Normal.

Sorry , but this impossible . Knox is changes when are system changes (root , new recovery, new kernel etc)
Fyi, I just ran this on my verizon tab4 10.1 lte (smt537v) and it worked after first reboot, but after running super su me and rebooting, it is stuck in a boot loop. I can still get into download mode so I should be able to flash a factory image through Odin when I have a computer in front of me as long as the computer will recognize the device. So be careful because I followed the directions correctly and ended up screwing things up

I rooted without a computer with kingroot like you said in the op. Verified root, then followed the instructions for super sume and rebooted after updating su binary. And yes it's running 5.1.1. I downloaded the first super sume version you posted in the op before that new version was posted. I'll try to recover the tab when I have access to a computer

Thanks, I may need some help if the computer doesn't recognize the device because of debugging or the bootloop it's in. Before I rebooted, it was in debugging mode but I'm not sure now. I've been playing around with Samsung stuff for a while now (rooting, flashing, some build Prop editing, etc) but I'm no pro. I pretty much just research and follow directions. I'll find out if I need help when I hook it up to the computer. Thanks again

Dont worry . Simply flash your firmware via Odin .
I checked now - this method successfully works on Tab 4.8.0 too !:good:
Thanks for the post. Works with my SM-T530NU. 0x0
Tried this on my galaxy tab 4(sm-t337a) and get a "System software not recognized by AT&T has been found on your tablet..." Error on boot.. Guess i'm pretty much screwed because the firmware files for this tablet have not been released yet
Edit: N/m look for CocaFoca's rooting nk2 thread and flash his boot lp fix to the tablet and it will fix it

Got it working on the note 7 port Rom
I'm on a Note 5 and going to give this a try using my version of TWRP. Will edit this post and report findings!
Able to boot after flashing the first .zip. Always got boot loop previous after flashing TWRP but not flashing root! Thanks for the solution!
Basically the minimum I want is the ability to remove my boot sound and update my hosts file. This lets me do that but otherwise be stock. Good enough. Wish I had xposed, root, but still Android Pay and PGO without reboots but that's ok.

Can anybody confirm that this is true for me? I haven't seen anyone else mention this.
Hello, I would like your help.
First of all, sorry for my poor English.
I installed the Root Switch to use Pokemon Go, but my phone crashed and rebooted while I played. After that, I was not able to activate root again, including the SuperSU app says my cell does not have Root.
Does anyone know how I should proceed? Would redoing root solve my case?
Thank you.

Anyone else going through this?

There was a safetynet update last week that breaks RootSwitch. Had to go the Magisk route but now can use Android Pay along with PoGo

[Completed] I'm trying to root the LG Pad F7.0 (lglk430) with kingroot but it's not working.

I'm trying to get this thing rooted but it seems to not be working. The tablet is on 5.0.1 and I have the latest version of kingroot which I believe is also 5.0.1. It gets to 100% and says it's rooted but when I try to use supersu it says the binaries aren't there or something like that. Root checker is also saying I dont have root access.
Can someone please help me?

Greetings and welcome to assist. According to this
http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/general/support-list-kingroot-lg-t3112336
your device is supported. I believe there is a newer version of kingroot though so I would try that
Good Luck
Sawdoctor
There isnt a newer version. 5.0.1 is what kingroot.net gave me.
It finishes rooting and says I'm rooted on kingroot kingroot and then when I open SuperSU is says the binaries aren't there or something like that. My software version is the lglk430zv4. I really need to get this rooted :/
