You havent helped anyone.....you have said a bunch of words that to this point have added up to nothing. ....Asking people to PM you for information about a paid service is promoting a paid service !!!! I am really having a hard time believing that you have been allowed by the MOD, S too continue your nonsense.!!!! sS with that being said I will say it again everything that you have said so far has been >>>> BULLSHIIT !!!! <<<<

you should email the moderator and complain.. they can decide whether what I posted violates their rules.. and if so, of course, I would delete my posts.. Knowingly, i would not violate the forum rules.. I have not read the fine print of the rules.. if you have and are able to point it out to me, i would be happy to recind the violation..

btw, as I have written above, i don't want anyone to PM me.. I have no skin in this game..

I don't know if you can post a video the same way as you can upload a picture from a computer, but you could always just upload a video to youtube or a similar site and then just post a link to that video.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] mke1:
I don't want to disclose my identity through youtube posting.. Is there an alternate site, which is more anonymous.. Anyway.. for one thing, I don't have the phone back yet. The next thing is.. let me see if he is actually able to root it.. then I will decide, whether or not to go through the hassle of video etc.. As I said.. i really don't care, whether someone believes me or not.. My point is.. If one guy can root it, then there would be many others, who can probably do the same thing.. XDA is full of really smart people.. I believe that this phone was not popular in the first place.. and is not popular at all now.. that's why XDA members did not come up with a root.. no one really cares about this model anymore.. Another example of this phone not being popular is.. I can easily get a dedicated charger for just about any samsung phone.. but no one made dedicated wall chargers for this phone's battery.. I have to use the universal or one of Samsungs external non wall charger.. Again proving that for what ever reason, this i527 never was very successful!

But personally for myself, this is the best phone on the market.. I like the 6.3".. I am assuming S5 has been rooted?

As long as my 2nd i527 comes back rooted and stays rooted, I would probably not buy another i527 or another phone for a year or two..

If the root is successful, i will post accordingly and I am not going to give out the contact info of that guy.. because I don't want to be hassled or called names ..

Frankly, only two people have made the request for info, to me so far anyway.. So, no one really seems to care much about this phone, even here.. I am probably wasting my time here..
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] mke1:
I sent my phone back, 2nd time, and with an additional payment - because I was not sure whether I caused the root to fail,the first time.. And frankly, this is small money to pay to have my phone rooted..

He rooted it again and sent it to me.. I have attached pictures of both my phones.. No, they were not photoshopped! One is a rogers canada, which has no problem in retaining the root. on the left is the ATT (with stickers)

Again, I logged in to my account and it lost the root.

Even though I explained to joe what happened the first time, he did not bother to log in to a gmail account and test why the root has failed. This annoys me! Especially that I have paid him the 2nd time, the least he should have done, is to figure out if it is going to lose root again, the 2nd time..

Unfortunately, I have no choice. There seems no one else, who can root this phone for me.. I am stuck with him..

I called him and fortunately he answered the phone (he does not always answer the phone). He was actually quite nice and friendly.. He spent about 20 mins on the phone with me but the bottom line is.. he could not figure it out.

Anyway, he said this time, he would root and login with his gmail account and see if that breaks the root.. When someone says "This has never happened before".. we need to say "Hey.. I don't really care.. I paid you.. so fix it.. I don't care whether it has happened to others before or not.. I care what happens to me!". I get sick and tired of listening to "it has never happened before" excuse! What do I care?

Anyway.. back to the drawing board! If any of you has any idea of why this might be losing the root.. or if you know someone else, whom I should try, please let me know.. I really don't care, if I have to pay another guy to root it.. This ATT phone is basically useless to me, unrooted!

So you know there's an update to I527UCUBNJ1 (picture) and you can still go back to I527UCUBNE7 http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-mega/general/stock-odin-firmware-i527-4-4-2-t2835136 just not to I527UCUAMK2 I tried. Didn't find anything to root NJ1. This Joe guy, he install supersu to update the binary? (picture 2) IF you let this guy or any person root your phone, I would install supersu first and let it update the binary. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=eu.chainfire.supersu&hl=en
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] mke1:
I don't understand this.. and frankly I really don't have that much time or interest to try and sort this out myself. That's why I am trying to find someone to root the phone for me.

He did install SU on it.. While he was on the phone with me, he had me update it.. then he had me do a master reset on the phone. download su and root checker, update SU.. but the root was broken already..

Nothing yet I think I been looking everywhere N trying lots of options but with no luck..
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] mke1:
I527M is not ATT right? It is rogers/canada.. I have a i527M also. It has been rooted - not by joe but another guy - onthegosolutions.com (who charged me $75). The root works just fine. But he said he cannot root the ATT version..

Next time, I would probably send mine to Joe - he is cheaper - only $35..

I have used onthegosolutions for may be 7 years.. I have never had problems.. They used to charge $100.. and dropped it to $75 because I am a repeat customer..

Every time I bought a phone, I would first send it to onthego.. to root and unlock.. I used them for rooting many phones.. For some, they used to put a new ROM..

Lawrence at onthego, seems knowledgeable.. I have spoken to him many times.

But now, at $35, Joe is a better option.

I have not tried a i527m with Joe..

You can have root but you have to flash with Odin which destroys Knox flag and your warranty goes... phewwww!
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] idoit:
Up to today, I just had one Mega which is my main phone and tablet, so I couldn't experiment much.

I am buying another Mega SGH-I527M and SCH-R960 (from my own budget) to finally crack up this little guy. You can follow the progress in this thread if you wish: Community effort to root Galaxy Mega I527/I527M without tripping Knox

This would be to finally root the Mega variants without tripping the Knox security flag from 0x0 to 0x1. Note that if you don't care about Knox, you can, quite easily, root it using Odin flashing! What I intend to do is different. We'll see if it can eventually crack open.

[Samsung Galaxy Mega] idoit:
This was a generic statement by me and an example for [MENTION=5935785]Rican39[/MENTION] when he said "Is seen everyone having root except the mega".

So that if there is someone who is not aware, knows about it. That's all.

Also using search it's easy, you find multiple results to show you how to it even for models other than i527m.

You didn't exactly call it.. You expected me to come back with "pictures as proof"? Well.. as you can see, I have been truthful right from the beginning. You thought I was selling this service.. clearly, you are wrong..

Anyway, the intent of this forum and posting is to help each other and share information.. The information I am sharing is that someone is able to root the ATT phone but it is losing the root, after logging in to gmail. Hopefully, another person will have ideas as to what could be causing that and collectively help with the solution.. There is absolutely no reason for you to be bashing.. but if you have nothing better to do.. well.. its a free country.. bash all you want.. I hope there is an ignore button..

I have nothing better to do for ohhhh about 10 minutes a day than to keep calling you on your bull****. You have taken over several threads with your "go nowhere" conversation about a phone that CAN NOT!!! be rooted by a guy that you have paid not to root the phone. IF I AM NOT MISTAKEN YOU HAVE SENT THIS PHONE TO HIM 3 TIMES NOW....AND PAID HIM AT LEAST 2 TIMES!!!!! AND YOU STILL DO NOT!!!! HAVE A ROOTED PHONE!!!!!! AND YOU HAVE THE NERVE TO ASK ME WHAT MY PROBLEM IS!!!!!!!!!! Well I will tell you what my problem is..... YOU!!! are making the rest of us look stupid...... Anyone new to XDA that has a mega or any other phone for that matter that would happen across one of your "no help", "no hope". "no nothing" posts, that go on forever about less than ZERO, well that is, unless you count conversation about you sending money to a nameless hack as something worth talking about. If I was new here, and I was basing my judgment of the quality of the people here at XDA on one of your posts..... I would be hard pressed to put any time or effort into what could look like a community of morons.

He's right.

You do have a problem. He's shown there is a way to root the Mega. He said he paid for it. He didn't say you have to. So calm down and give it a rest.

Working Root for 4.4.2 I527

I've been messing around hoping to find something. Finally, the new version of KingRoot worked. I just got it finished earlier, it's doing great. It disabled knox, didn't trip the counter. I did that later with a twrp backup I tried to make. But, root is there nonetheless, nothing lost. I do have screenshots, I can't do outside links, but I'll try to add them.

So it is safe to say its a no go?

This is what happens when i install kingroot open click root kingroot ask me to install another app call kinguser installed that it i got root is like superu.

tried installing kinguser and rooting thru that, still no go
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] tone45:
worked for me

The latest version of kingroot worked on my i527 running 4.4.2. There is no superuser app like my previous phones however root is working on every app I've tried so far. The only difference is that kingroot requests access for rooted apps instead of the Superuser app. The main thing is that it works perfect, no problems for me. I'm not going to try installing superuser because there doesn't appear to be any need for it. I would however like to set up cwm recovery but I havent figured that part out yet. Until then I would be very careful about making any changes that may brick the phone. I'm very excited to finally see some progress on this phone. Can anyone explain if this means the bootloader is now unlocked? Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] A Christian Guy:
Yes is unlock no superu but is another app called kinguser is like superu

My phone won't update. Keeps saying interrupted. Probably cause I was rooted then had to flash the update manually when it came out. Is there files to update manually?
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] A Christian Guy:
Remember you have to unroot and have every app the phone come in try to flash againg with odin
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] f-disk:
The KingRoot method seems to work. Root Checker shows I have root, and I can use su in terminal to do things like chown. I have baseband I527UCUBNJ1.

One odd quirk: when KingRoot asks about Samsung Knox, the only options are Cancel or Deny. I was unsure of what to do so I pressed cancel. I think perhaps I did the wrong thing.

I was not able to get SuperSu to manage root so I am using KingUser. I'll keep trying to get SuperSu.

I am unable to unlock the bootloader right now. I cannot get fastboot to detect my phone. I tried installing TWRP anyway via the app and got the Unauthorized Software AT&T black screen.

I was able to restore using Heimdall with the stock ROM from here (it says I527UCUBNE7 but worked fine for I527UCUBNJ1).

None yet, just tried safestrap and it was too big to use. Going to try to Odin flash twrp V 2.8.6.1 ,but I think the boot loader is locked like rest of at&t phones. Odin just FAILED!
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] A Christian Guy:
Okay let me now
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] JCSouth:
You can only flash the latest firmware through Odin. If you do get the unauthorized software error, just flash the bootloader. mine is unlocked now. it was the first thing that happened, I got the unlock and custom icon before it was ever properly rooted. That encouraged me to go on. Also, when you get the message about Cancel or Deny Knox, Deny it. That's denying Knox access and will turn it off. I tried using the TWRP from the 4.2 with what I thought was a backup I'd already made, it loaded and I had to cancel or reboot. I wasn't sure, so I rebooted. The firmware download of the bootloader brought it back with no loss of anything thought when I flashed it with Odin.

---------- Post added at 01:37 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:33 PM ----------

Oh, another thing, sorry about the additional posts, but I can't ever get SuperSU or superuser of any kind to work, only the kinguser. I've been playing around with it is trying to get anything since I've already tripped Knox. It seems to work fairly well, Titanium Backup does work fairly well. I don't know what all programs to try, I'm not really a developer or anything with this stuff.

---------- Post added at 01:40 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:37 PM ----------

you'll have to try it a few times, then maybe update the binary and try again. I was tired when I did it successfully, and overly excited when I registered to announce it, but it will work. I was using kingroot, kingo root, and root genius all around the same time and it caught on one the restarts. I narrowed it down to kingroot.. you have to then go into the Kinguser settings and do some more work with it, but it will do it.

---------- Post added at 01:44 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:40 PM ----------

I just saw this too. Yeah, it's in Chinese, but you can get the English version from the binary update. It seems to switch back and forth sometimes. Just get the main root program and leave the rest alone. It's some kind of cleaner app and I don't know what it does and there is no English that I could find anywhere. I apologize, I haven't been seeing any notification emails or I'd be more active.

Another thing I should point out, you have to close the kies manager from windows if you're doing it that way or it will hang up, but after root is on there, you can still use kies to backup and it shows the proper firmware and everything, I just did that last night. I don't know how far anyone will get with using this root method as far as custom roms or anything, but it's been great for the programs I use, especially having adaway back.
