I Finally Got Temporary Root On The AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4 (and yes it is SuperSU, bit it does require KingRoot)
I Did It
can you post the software info page with the build for verification of which device it's on?
Like you want the build number?
BTW here is how to do it

This is temporary root which means that once you reboot you're going to lose root... Sadly not much new...

Meh, I know but it's better than nothing
Well if this is true it is new because it's on 5.1.1 and not 4.4.4. Going to give it a shot...
So I've tried twice now to root using Kingroot 4.8.0 on Android 5.1.1 and twice my phone has rebooted at the very end when I was trying to download SuperSUMe from the Playstore (did look like root was successful). Might have better luck if I factory reset my phone, but I'm not that interested in getting root.
I can verify that this indeed does provide a temp root on at&t note 4 v5.1.1
BUT! It causes the system to slow down and lag alot and the keyboard no longer works untill the phone is rebooted and when you reboot the samsung startup screen shows a padlock that says custom. So the guys at kingoroot have manged to find a small crack but it is to unstable to use at this time.
I did test out the root permissions on a few apps
1: es file explorer. (I was able to set rw permissions and move files from the internal to ext sd card and see root folders and files in the system)
2: lucky patcher (it was able to gain root and modify installed packages on the fly)
3: es task manager (i was able to acess the root features but changes did not stick)
My hope is maybe someone can learn from this and make the temp root more stable even if temporary (i kinda doubt it since gaining temp root seems to freak the system out causing glitches and stutters)
I obtain temporary root indeed the only I could achieve is, wipe bloatware and change font lol.... So far so good
Well remember, with Samsung changing the system on Android 5.1.1 now requiring a custom kernel to root one of their devices and knowing that AT&T locked the bootloader, this is the best we can get as of right now. Give the developers of KingRoot time because they have tried to root the note 4 without needing a custom kernel. I know it doesn't seem like a lot but give them time. We have wait this much for root. Why not wait a little bit longer for the root to stabilize?
Btw guys I rooted my note 4 on KingRoot v4.8.1, they haven't released this version on their website yet
And supersume pro probably won't work on this
I use the terminal emulator and a root script

There is a bounty regarding it, if they achieve completely root, 8,000 dollars are waiting for anyone achieving it
4.8.1 does stabalize things a little but i can guarantee just aboit that they are using a hole in the stock keyboard to obtain temp root i am going to experiment with non stock keyboards and see what happens from there. I also noticed that the phone gets hot when rooted
Does this temporary root allow the 910A to act as a wifi hotspot?
I was just about to list my Note 4 on Swappa. I can get by without root most of the time but when I need a hotspot, I really need it so I'm back on my Z2 for the moment.

At the moment NO temp root is not stable enough to reliably run long enough to enable and keep enabled wifi hotspot unless your carrier has opened that option. Lucky for me wifi teathering is included in my plan with at&t
Any way to run Xposed with this?
So is it available for download somewhere? Or will it be soon?

After delete all the bloatware it allow me to use Hotspot without need foxfi but I'm in Verizon so I couldn't tell you if it applies the same in at&t but I'm sure one of the program installed is the one that blocks or prevents Hotspot to work properly
I used Kingroot 4.8.1 (after you install 4.8.0 and open the app it tells you to update it) on my N910A and it got to 25% and failed? Happened a few times
Hey guys...
I rooted my Pixel C a few weeks ago and now there is the March security patch out and it keeps reminding me of updating ever since..
Since I find no easy way to update my Pixel C, I'm curious if the solution chain fire is given all the nexus users, is also working on the Pixel C
http://nexus5.wonderhowto.com/how-t...thout-losing-root-no-computer-needed-0168428/
has anybody tried this way with their Pixel C or is there any other way to perform a update w/o loosing root?
cheers
well, if you check boot in that app you would need to reflash the modified boot to regain root. it is generally the better thing to flash all new partitions and then flash the new root kernel built by your dev from the new build kernel. [at least in my playbook]
Is there a how to on rooting the pixel 2 xl for Google fi yet? Also a how to on enabling the built in call recording function? Thanks
This might depend on whether you bought from Google or Verizon (edit: just noticed you said Project Fi 2 XL). I've heard Verizon locks down the bootloader.
But even if your bootloader is unlockable, I think it still takes some time. The most important part is to have a recovery image that you can install on your phone to allow you to install anything from the menu. The developers of TWRP (or your preferred recovery) have to build that for the phone. I'm not sure if it's the case, but they may need access to the required open source bits to build it (like kernel source), and usually that's released shortly after the phone is.
After that, I think you can just install your SU apk of choice, unless they need to customize that on a per-phone basis as well.
I remember reading a long time ago, there is a file you change from a 0 to 1 in google that turns on the native call recording feature. I've got my phone unlocked now. I can't remember if it requires root or not to enable that simple feature. Does anyone here know? If so, where is that file and variable I have to edit? Thanks
Right now we cannot root yet, because of 2 reasons. If either of these were not the case we'd be able to root
1) Google has not released factory images for these phones yet. When they do, we will be able to root our phones without a custom recovery using the newest version of Magisk.
2) There is no custom recovery for our phones yet. When this is available, we can flash either SuperSU or Magisk in recovery to root.
Both rooting options above would require an unlocked bootloader of course.

Maybe a build.prop feature? If so, yes, that would require root, or custom recovery (you could technically modify this file in recovery without rooting)
BUT, since rooting requires an unlocked boot loader AND unlocking wipes your device, might as well unlock as soon as you can.
The first thing I do when I get a new phone is unlocked bootloader, then it can Rock!
I thought the newer versions of SuperSU can be applied from factory recovery.

Since my first Android phone (Motorola Atrix 4G) back in 2011, the first thing I do when I receive the phone is to unlock the bootloader. Then I wait for the root to arrive.

It can but that wasn't built for the Pixel 2 and you might brick it..
Well, that sucks. I hope that ChainFire will update SuperSU one or two more more times before he actually leaves.
I believe he's still consulting for now but, I hope he takes the ropes of the last phones of 2017.

For long time now i hasitates to root or mess with it, i dont want any funky stuff happening to it (as i said, i love it) but i also have NOTE 3 cell, ant its rooted and works great, and i even got rid of those stock apps!
I want now to do that here also (they are anoying) generally i want more controll over MY tablet.
Also i DON'T want to void KNOX please (is it possible?), and i want to be able to un-root it if i ever need to get it in service or something.
Thanks in advance for helping me!

You can't root without tripping Knox. Root can be undone.
Use Magisk and flash it via TWRP.

Im not werry technical. Can you plwase explain?
Also when i rooted note 3 i tripped knox only to find out later i didnt need to tripp it. Thats why i ask.
Also some tutorial would be apreciated. Thanks!
For some time you could root Lollipop w/o tripping Knox, but with a high risk of funky things happening, resulting in a brick, and that even weeks after rooting. I think this exploit was fixed by Samsung/Google security patches later.
But in early 2016 you could finally root w/o much danger(but with Knox tripped) and later, after oh so long time, came the first decent custom roms for the p605, by David Mueller.
Maybe the official Lineage has evolved into something useful in the meantime, too. I doubt.
Stock Lollipop on the P605 was by the way the last rom, where SuperSu worked for me, but today you gotta use Magisk normally.
Can we use CVE-2019-2215 exploit to gain root?
The bug: https://bugs.chromium.org/p/project-zero/issues/detail?id=1942
POC code (probably could be used for root at least? I think unlocking is writing out a bit to a partition...so...): https://bugs.chromium.org/p/project-zero/issues/attachmentText?aid=414885
Here is a list of Phones affected by the hack.
A “non-exhaustive list” of vulnerable phones include:
Pixel 1
Pixel 1 XL
Pixel 2
Pixel 2 XL
Huawei P20
Xiaomi Redmi 5A
Xiaomi Redmi Note 5
Xiaomi A1
Oppo A3
Moto Z3
Oreo LG phones
Samsung S7
Samsung S8
Samsung S9
Google stated its being patched in October security patch and also google stated its being exploited by a malicious actors so I'm happy its getting patched personally
This is October... and so many people probably haven't updated yet. You misunderstand the implication - those of us with Verizon phones could use this, theoretically, to unlock and install a custom rom.
I would love to have a way of using this for a root, even a temp root.
This guy already built it:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/ga...ted-zero-day-exploitcve-t3978059#post80441545
On my pixel it locks up, systemui crashes, and the phone reboots...
Ok so looking into this I need some specific addresses to make this work...
If any of you have a rooted Pixel XL running kernel 3.18.131-ga2426c4f8f23 could you please pastebin the output of cat /proc/kallsyms for me as root?
adb shell
su (approve on the phone screen)
cat /proc/kallsyms > /sdcard/syms.txt
Then take syms.txt and put it on pastebin.
what month kernel build and should it be 8.1,9.0 or doesnt matter,sean
check this out pixel 2 xl forum
Did i miss something? Hasn't the Pixel Xl been able to unlock the bootloader since 2018, or did it get patch?
Yep. Verizon pixel 2 running 10, exploited and rooted. Never been rooted before. It was not too difficult but id imagine there isnt much time to do it. I will write a post up as soon as i get a moment.
bought pixel 2 xl today waiting for you to post exploit.I know don't update phone!?

Please do write it up there are many waiting like me:highfive:
I acquired pixel 2 would anyone know process of how to flash poc zip to gain root.I don't know how to utilize zip or process to go about it,sean
@peachypickle any update?
I still did not update to Android 10.
I was going to try the POC, but "chmod +x" is not working, I tried via Termux and ADB Shell, it did not work.
I also tried to use Total Commander file manager to give execution permission, but it also didn't work.
How can I give execution permission to the POC?

U have to move it to termux $HOME path first
Is there any manual how to use this vulnerability and is there a user-ready exploit ?
Thanks
