Did someone try to root the G3 with Towelroot?
http://towelroot.com/
Yes, it will. Even on the S5 without tripping KNOX. Just try it yourself, no risk involved. I haven`t tried it myself but i`am absolutely sure it will get you root.
Good to know.
I should get my G3 next week so I will definitely use it.
Thanks.

Just confirmed with my international D855 unit.
Works flawlessly. Tested with Root checker and Titanium backup.
Still dazed as to how this works... possibly the fastest root method ever! :good:

Appearently its a vulnurability in all android kernels that are build before june 3rd that lets the exploit do its work and install root during the boot sequence without beeing detected.
Yes. It's amazing. This guy have a great talent. He just left the iOS system and went for Android (He developed the iOS Jailbreak). Now Chainfire and other good developers here have competition
Working good
To unroot do u just need to do a reset? This works on uk model g3 with 2gb ram?

Yes, it works with all android devices atm and a data factory reset or flashing a factory image will unroot.

I've never worried about the 'warranty voided' stories. If software could physically damage a device then the device is poorly made. I had three different rooted Samsung that failed due to the 'sudden death syndrome'. They were all fixed under warranty. Never heard of anyone having problems with warranty on a rooted device - only urban myths!

Rooting has always voided warranty. .. There were just ways to return it to stock like it was never rooted.

Not with my rooted phones - any that died or had faults have always been fixed under warranty - going right back to the 'Hero'. If I buy a brand name Windows PC, wipe the hard disk and install Linux, the manufacturer still has to honour their hardware warranty under EU law. Same with mobiles/phones/tablets.
Maybe North American consumer protection laws are not as good as those here in Europe.
For instance, in the EU we can return anything we buy via mail order for a full refund within 14 days for any reason under the 'distance selling' regulations. Goods bought in shops or via mail order also have to be of 'merchantable quality'. As it currently stands, EU customers could obtain a full refund for the LG G3 as it does not work reliably with the Google Chromecast. This is probably why Samsung fixed a similar problem with a software patch when some of their devices had the same problem.

Doing so removes your root access (as you expect) but your device will still refuse to install OTA's

I think you need to reboot and run it again. This time for me, it didn't ask me for a binary update. Just started working. Try it.

OK so I can unroot with SuperSu, the only disadvantage is no OTA, and to unroot with OTA I'd need to perform factory reset, right? How to do it?
After Factory reset,

Do you care if you trip Knox?
If not, then I would suggest using Chainfires root method. You can find it in the "Original Android Development" section.
If you do NOT want to trip Knox(warranty issues), then look into Root De La Vega.
I was going to go with Root De La Vega, then stumbled across Kingo Root.
http://www.kingoapp.com/android-root.htm
It's just a one-click app, no ADB knowledge needed. Although I wasn't worried about it, it didn't trip the Knox counter. I did that on my own later...

+1 to kingo, I rooted with De la Vega the first time but after that my spen wasn't taking screenshots, and the screenshot with palm action wasn't working either. I went back to stock via Odin and rooted again with kingo, and everything start to work the way is supposed to.

I thought this method wasn't recommended due to sending your IMEI to some unknown server? Has this issue been addressed?

I had read a little about that before I did it. At the time, I was suffering the brutal stock boot loop issue and just needed a quick way of rooting it to load TWRP so I could troubleshoot it. It wasn't stable enough for me to get ADB up and running.
To be honest, I figured even if they did get the IMEI for whatever reason, I was probably going to warranty swap the phone because I didn't realize the boot loop was a known software problem.
So far, everything seems legit.

Root Failed with Kingo.....First failure at rooting. Hmmm
2nd time was a charm.
So I removed the root expecting to do an ota and after the ota re-root. However the server response is "device has been altered" or something similar and wont allow me to update. So I go back to Kingo to re-root and nothing. it connects but i dont even get the superuser prompt to grant access. I'm wondering if I need to do a factory reset then try again. Anyone have any ideas? All I have ever done is root. I'm at a loss.

You might not get OTA update because of rooting your phone. Try flash the update using odin.

Supposedly using mobile Odin correctly allows 4.2.2 root without tripping Knox. If you don't care about KNOX use CF-Autoroot. I stopped caring and installed Beastmode Kernel and TWRP.
Thanks..yeah the orig method I used reported not tripping knox but apparently did...now I can no longer receive ota's bfd. I dont care. I'll use odin to flash kk and root from there. If not, I have JUMP and I'll just replace it.

So Friday i went to verizon and bought me a new LG G3 phone, 32G memory 3G RAM, you know the good **** LOL. Well when i got home i wanted to root the phone but when i looked it up there was many options, IOROOT, TowelRoot, and Stump Root. So i tried towel root on the phone but when i clicked the button towel root said my device isnt compatible and my phones build is the VS98510B. So at that point i decided to try IOROOT. When i launched the batch file i made sure i made myself a developer, got the proper drivers, made it connect via usb and set the phone connection to Ethernet. Well in the batch file it said everything was good and that i just needed to click any button to continue well i did that but when i clicked a button it simply closed the batch file. All i clicked was the space bar and it closed. Stump root isnt compatible and im afraid to use bruteforce mode. Any one got any help with this? Andriod Kitkat 4.4.2
Use the brut force method in stump. Takes about 5 minutes.

Read a bit here TWRP is a recovery and backup software for when you flash a custom ROM.. You're not flashing any custom ROMs just yet.. So... I don't think you need to backup anything just yet. After you root the phone you can use TWRP to backup your current stock ROM .. Good luck ..

Search is your Friend ....
As far as i Know it doesnt work on lollipop & only works for KitKat. it doesnt work for mine on Lollipop. Also its not a Perm Root, Root is lost upon reboot

Yup, only works on kitkat and it's temporary only.
The devs are working on a permanent solution. I personally have held off with trying king root because I don't trust it.
I am downgrading and i am going to attempt kingroot because i wanna get rid of bloatware and i never turn my phone off unless i really need to.
Sent from my SM-N910V using XDA Free mobile app
I believe there is a debloater that's been out for lollipop that doesn't need root.
I also think I've read that even if you don't reboot, over time or after messing with certain parts of the system, you'll lose root.
Debloater doesn't remove bloatware, only disables it.
Kingroot has been reported to cause random reboots, which is why I haven't tried it in spite of the fact that I rarely if ever reboot my phone either.
Also, something I've come to wonder... What good would deleting bloatware be if those no custom ROM with reworked partitions? We wouldn't be gaining any space from the ROM partition (where system apps are stored) But we can already delete all the updates for system apps (since they go in internal storage instead of overwriting the original app in ROM storage). At least this is the way I've come to understand it from using Titanium Backup on my old devices.
I didn't think king root was actually rooting your main system rom? Thought that was why you had to use multisystem and from that point you would install the rooted kitkat rom, etc..
But if kingroot does root the factory system, then you could simply root with kingroot remove the bloatware then it wouldn't matter if you lost root after a reboot. Correct?
I am not sure but i am trying to downgrade my note 4 right now and i hope it doesnt brick

You can downgrade to NJ5 4.4 rom and get temporary root with King root, if you're on OAF. However, if you took the OTA upgrade to OF1 or above, you cannot downgrade. You stuck with LL with no way to root.

I dont think kingroot is root at all.
I dont understand the term "temporary root"
Even if its temporary, changes it makes to the system should be permanent yet they go back to normal.
I tried using system app uninstaller and it said "succeeded "
I tried to use AdAway and it said "successful"
I even opened up the system/hosts file to confirm the change was made, yet after reboot everything went back to stock.
Not only that, but kingroot comes with FULL SCREEN ads that pop when you exit application that requested root access, and they are annoying playing videos and eat up your data.
I think kingroot creates virtual root environment inside RAM. Changes made inside RAM do not apply to device storage. Nothing is changed to say the very least but allot of garbage and spyware is added.
Even after uninstalling the app, its service is left behind and you gotta remove thru "Settings/applications/All"
Smart Chinese should have put their knowledge into cracking the locked bootloader instead of creating fake trash like this.

I was playing with my buddy's note4 (sm-n910v) this evening and I used Kingroot's Purify app. After running it, I went through every option and it finally gave me a link to the Kingroot.net download (XDA's wouldn't parse for me).
I installed Kingroot and ran it... fail.
Rebooted
Ran Purify again, followed by Kingroot.... Root Successful!
Ran RootChecker..... haha... tripped the knox.... auto reboot. (Note to self... don't run RootChecker)
Ran Kingroot.... much faster root success this time!
Verified root by turning on the root explorer in ES File Explorer's options.... Root was asked for and granted.
Instead of removing the bloatware using ES File, I opted to give the Purify app another try in hope of getting root to stick.
That's when I came Purify's 'Debloater' app.... It started ok, so, I handed my buddy his phone and told him."Better get some while the getting is good!".... He had about 30 apps checked when I stopped him and suggested he make a back up before he does anymore!
Apps uninstalled successfully and my buddy rebooted (ok...I guess we're done).
After reboot.. root was gone but, so were the 30+ apps!
Long story short.... Getting root is possible... You just have to get root when you need it and be decisive in your actions.... Remember anything that trips the knox and try to avoid it!... Work Purify and Kingroot back and forth like a couple of wedges... I think I was close to getting root to stick permanently but, my buddy had to go home and he took all the toys with him
I guess the next step is getting rid of, disabling or re-configuring the knox.... So, please read up on the knox system change detect-o-matic before trying to uninstall it... Do it right and you'll be a champ!
But... if you automate it for everyone with a small program and you'll reach 'Hero' status for sure!
Oh yeah.... That Note4 was running Lollipop 5.1.0 (or 5.0.1?... I didn't pay much attention)
Hope that helps

P.S. Sorry if I posted incorrectly ... I'll get it right one of these days!

I spent hours last night clearing 5gb of space on c:\ so I could update my z1 to 5.1 using pc companion.
Finally got it updated and now I realise kingroot doesnt work on 5.1 yet.
Any pointers would be much appreciated,

And the Samsung Tool box(I think) he's using says it granted super user rights..I just wish I knew what he was saying and how to get root since it seems, at least from the video I watched, the device was already rooted it and he was unlocking it.

That's sure what it looks like? Hmm.. Is the Samsung Tool box an "official" tool from Samsung? I know very little about it.

Samsung would never give out such a powerful tool do the public.
Apparently this website (https://chimeratool.com/) (paid) now added support for the ATT note 5 aswell.
here is the download link for the tool : https://chimeratool.com/downloads/latest

Haha I'm dumb. That makes sense. But wow man you are finding a ton of info on this. This is pretty awesome we finally might have root on the note 5. Just waiting for someone to confirm one of them works with proof and I would gladly pay for it.

Yea i've seen them, many are having problems because almost everyone is on the new A0J1 firmware (OTA) samsung pushed mid september. And seems that chimera tool uses a custom boot IMG that was built on AOGG firmware the (factory default)[Theorizing], not 100% sure. But, i think downgrading and then running through the tool might resolve some problems.

It still doesn't work, I actually used Odin to downgrade to COGG and then tried to root using the tool, So it successfully "roots" but in the process I lost my IMEI and according to another person on here the tool is useless as it's not the "root" the end user is looking for. I verified this using root checker and it comes back without root. Ended up Going back to the latest firmware with ODIN.
