Just saw this on NEWS360. Can we use this on our T-Mobile Note3? Has anyone used this?

http://news360.com/article/246046924#

AT&T and Verizon customers, it's finally happened. After many long months of waiting, and a fairly significant bounty up for grabs, your Galaxy Note 3s can finally be rooted! Best of all, it may be the simplest method for achieving root we've ever encountered.

Towelroot is the method, and it's brought to us by none other than famed hacker geohot, known for being the first to jailbreak an iPhone and hack the PlayStation 3. And trust me when I say it's easy, because once you have the app, you'll be rooted in less than thirty seconds. Yup, no USB cables, no PCs...just one quick download and the tap of a button.

Note that the video above from Dallas is showcasing the Samsung Galaxy S5, but the steps will be exactly the same for any variant of the Samsung Galaxy Note 3, as well as other Android devices (except for HTC and Motorola, for now). For a detailed explanation of how this exploit came to be, and what it actually does to gain root privileges, check out the full article by Dallas for a full breakdown.

Step 1: Download TowelRoot

Go to the Towelroot homepage on your Android device and click on the lambda symbol to download the app.

Step 2: Install the APK

Next, make sure installation from "Unknown sources" is checked in Settings -> General -> Security -> Device administration, then tap on the APK file to install Towelroot.

Step 3: Rooting Is One Click Away!

When Towelroot launches, all you have to do is click the make it ra1n button, and the process will be initiated—your Note 3 will automatically reboot, and when back up, will be rooted.

Step 4: Install SuperSU

You're rooted, but susceptible to malicious apps taking advantage without your permission. To alleviate that, head to the Google Play Store to install Chainfire's SuperSU.

I wasn't able to get towelroot or kingo to work I had to use cf autoroot.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] aznmode:
I think the problem is that there are already threads about this and it's a known subject so most will tend to ignore it. You might want to do a search. Unless I'm misunderstanding what you're asking.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] asctony:
Thanks for your suggestion . I did do a search and when I keyed in the subject there were about 4 threads that showed up. I even went to the ROOT TAb. However, I could not find a specific thread for Towelroot. That is why I asked the question. If I missed that thread, please someone let me know. Thanks!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] asctony:
Thanks for your input. I looked at Kingo which I used on my Note 2 successfully and it was simple. I looked at CF Autoroot, too. However, when I read about Towelroot it looked very simple to use and root. That is why I posted this thread looking for others who may have used it with success.

This was the 5th thread in the general section. I'm not sure how you're searching or looking.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] isisnx:
Please, I need help, my motherboard burned and bought a new one with no IMEI, after the technician installed the motherboard, it got generic IMEI "0049 ..." Before the burn motherboard, I had made a backup of the ROM "4.0.4" using CWM, and made a copy of the folder EFS "efs.img/efs.tar.gz" using KTOOL, not sure about KTOOL because was this in 2012^^, but I've tried everything I know, I have tried to restore using the KTOOL, already restored the backup using CWM, already flash ROM "4.1.2/4.3" via ODIN, I have done several reported here in some posts related about IMEI but it still fails, hope some enlightened can help me :/ sorry for my bad english :)

Model: GT-I9300

Actual ROM: 4.0.4
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] opssemnik:
error of the technician, the imei is stored in the nand chip(comes with the mobo)and he should had flashed correctly it for you

now since you made a ktool backup(dont know what it is, but looks like a imei backup) and if this ktool is designed for the s3(so it backups all efs partitions, if i remember there are 3, can be wrong tho) you*should* could restore.

but there is a problem,if ktool is correct but its from 2012 that means it did a backup of the old style efs partiton (efsv1) witch dosent work anymore since Samsung upgraded it to efsv2 and downgrading will not help

what you should do is get a s3 with 4.1.2 or earlier and restore your efs to that, upgrade it to 4.3, and get a new efs backup

i could be wrong tho

Edit: i remember a thread about a guy fixing the imei issue without a backup, and i remember Reading a part where he formats the efs partition, so that should help, see if you can find it(i can´t look now). it was in the s3 forums
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] boomboomer:
You cannot restore an efs backup to another handset or motherboard, it's also illegal to change the imei and discussion of this is banned on xda.

Your new motherboard is faulty, return it to the technician.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] isisnx:
really? excuse me is that I see many people talking about it here and have never seen any warning from the moderators, I thought it was legal because everyone says that the IMEI does not change, even changing the motherboard. And I have the invoice from the phone, just did not want to take the support of samsung because they charge too much.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] boomboomer:
Backing up and restoring efs to same motherboard/handset is legal, trying to move the imei from your old motherboard to new is illegal for you to do.

[General Questions and Answers] kishanhari54:
Bumping the topic, Guys please help me out
[ONE Original Android Development] franciscofranco:
Hi all.

Compatibility:

Builds until r44 are for CyanogenOS 5.1.1 YOG7DASK1 only.

Builds starting with r45 are for Android Marshmallow 6.0.1 CyanogenOS. Currently r45 is the last release compatible with COS 6.0.1.

Builds starting with r46 are compatible with Android Nougat 7.1.2 LineageOS and roms built from its sources.

Builds starting with r56 are compatible with Android Oreo 8.1 LineageOS and roms built from its sources.

Download:

https://francokernel.app

Installation:

Flash the zip in your recovery

or

Auto-flash from Franco Kernel Updater app

Features:

1 - Legendary battery life

2 - Flash & forget

3 - Typical interfaces like display adjustments, sound control, vibration control, and all that boring stuff

4 - Bypasses the verified boot flag for Android Pay compatibility (root still breaks Android Pay but that's your own problem)

5 - Idle power consumption reduced to the absolute minimum (if you have wakelocks from 3rd party apps you're obviously on your own)

6 - Support for FKUpdater's Performance Profiles

7 - Magical support, I'm here every day, checking posts almost hourly, ready to help anytime (well, unless you fail to read the OP, which contains most info you need)

8 - Seemless integration with my app FKUpdater

9 - All cores are unlocked and unshackled. Mimicking other SD801 devices all cores are online and hit idle states when they don't have tasks running, instead of going offline. Performance is greatly improved because all cores are readily available when needed

10 - Some famous wakelocks are blocked and disabled by default for maximum battery life through out the day

11 - No crap placebo patches, or "magical" optimizations

12 - Probably more, check my github for all the details - the code speaks for itself

Disclaimer to moderators:

Slight OT is fine, but when users decide to act stupid they should be dealt with with the appropriate means - its really annoying for me when OT turns crazy. Please put the warning/ban hammer anytime any of you think there's lack of respect and/or too much unwanted OT crap - but if it doesn't meet this criteria let the OT posts alone. Thank you.

FKU gave a warning when I try to flash R1 saying it might not be compatible with cyanogenmod, so is it safe to flash away?

Thank you so much Franco! Now we just need our god-forsaken phones to ship....

Yes flash away. I've placed that warning for other phones (for example N5, N4 etc) but forgot to add small hook to remove the warning for this device.
[ONE Original Android Development] sshinde555:
Hey Franco, When will be the color control function going to enable ?
[ONE Original Android Development] franciscofranco:
We already have color control interface in the Kernel by supercurio, I've asked him to expose the controls to userspace. Once that is available I'll add the code to the app.

Cool.... Thanks Franco.........

[ONE Original Android Development] musashiken:
Flashed r3 and it's working great on my China version OnePlus One with CM11S.

I think it's actually smoother than stock. Some of the animation transitions like unlocking to homescreen is more seamless now. I remember unlocking will cause the lockscreen to blink into the homescreen but now on franco kernel, the lockscreen just fades to the homescreen without any refresh of the wallpaper. Really nice.
[ONE Original Android Development] JustinOkay:
Hello Franco,

Earlier you mentioned CM11 will not be supported.:( I'm more than willing to donate a generous amount to fund your efforts.:good::good::good:

Let me know what you think.:laugh:
[ONE Original Android Development] franciscofranco:
I don't do this for money. I do this for myself and then I share it. You're free to donate if you want, but that doesn't mean I'll do what you want me to do, because, like I said, I do this for fun.
[ONE Original Android Development] franciscofranco:
r4 is up for download, grab it!
[ONE Original Android Development] Klarooo:
I don't know if somebody already tested or know it, but does the Kernel work with AOSP Roms like PA?

If I'm right, it won't work ? (It's based on Stock - CM)
[ONE Original Android Development] mega00:
This only work for stock CM11S?

Will you add fast charge option in the future? It is very slow to charge with my computer in office, and this is my only charging method in office:crying:

[ONE Original Android Development] benfiller:
It will only work with stock CM11S as Franco only supports stock rom
[ONE Original Android Development] acuicultor:
Why you flash a kernel without read at least the op of the thread?
[ONE Original Android Development] Red5:
So of course I have to get this as soon as I receive my OPO. Glad to see that FKU is all good and ready to go.
[ONE Original Android Development] fiz:ik:
I doubt he can add simply "fast charge option" like on the Find 7/a. What he could do is implement a feature which allows you to charge faster with USB cables (risky for the ports.., set higher mAh) . I know this feature from Siyah Kernel for the S2. But the franco.Kernel never had this feature I guess... maybe there's a reason
[ONE Original Android Development] Red5:
He added it to the Nexus5 kernel. Makes it think its an A/C charger instead of a USB charger. If the phone can handle the fast charge without risk of damage, he can do it. Franco is a genius.
[ONE Original Android Development] Vonnegut:
Since we are at that, well SuperSU is the best Superuser i have used so far. I have bought it and installed in my prior smartphones and with the CM11S too.

That said, i dunno where you read all that bull**** about built-in superusers and that's highly disrespectful for whoever integrated one.

I'm not here to argue with you, you'll be better served going to the right thread and tell to the CM/PA/Smlimkat team Your superuser sucks bigtime, get a life losers and wait for an answer (if that you like to do in your spare time).

Asking to support built-in superuser isn't an rough remark...

Have a good night.
[ONE Original Android Development] LiquidSolstice:
Er. I didn't "read" this anywhere. This is my experience, and it is echoed by many developers of root-based applications. Superuser has repeatedly caused people more problems than it fixes, and there are many, many people who would agree. The enture reason why SuperSu was created was because Chainfire was getting frustrated with the inadequacies of Superuser.

Wow, I don't know what the hell crawled up your ass this morning, but you took my post in a completely different way than I intended. I don't understand why you feel so mortally offended, you really need to relax.

And I never said it was, I gave my opinion based on my experiences (as well as lots of feedback from many other people out there) with Superuser. I'm not sure why you are so insecure to think that I am attacking your post, because I'm genuinely not.

SuperSu is just one zip to flash, isn't buried in the system menu behind the Development settings which are hidden by default, and is geared towards people who understand what they are doing. In my opinion, that is far, far superior to any integrated Superuser that any ROM has had thus far.

Go get an evening drink or something. You're clearly a little too on edge today.

Can you please fix the restore a backup through the app, I wanted to restore the stock kernel but my phone didn't boot. I flashed it through fastboot finally

But that's an image file. Does anyone have the stock kernel as a flushable zip file for TWRP or Philz recovery?

[ONE Original Android Development] zephiK:
Just so you know, you can flash XNPH33R with Franco Kernel r13, it'll just override your Franco Kernel. r13 does boot on XNPH33R. But if you really need XNPH30O stock kernel, https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23622183712460616

Not sure if this is a good or bad question. Does the "Performance E Profile" still function with this kernel? Do the "Power Save, Balanced, and Performance" settings in quick settings do what they say?

[ONE Original Android Development] franciscofranco:
Pushed r14 with improvements in the Audio stack and added support for MultiROM.

With the latest changes on the Audio department if you have problems with the device detecting your headset, any problems at all, grab a /proc/kmsg of when you insert/remove your headset and I'll forward them to Steve (cyanogen) - I'm in direct contact with him and we want to add support for all those crazy and different headsets (he's re-structuring the Kernel audio driver for better impedance detection and power savings).

Have fun & happy hackings!

Given you refer to the audio changes, I assume that means this is good with the new OTA?

[ONE Original Android Development] chr0m:
Great, thanks Franco. Just installed r14 on latest OTA
[ONE Original Android Development] franciscofranco:
The OTA is way behind this Kernel state. There's a big distance between shipped Stock Kernel and the newest code available. These new audio changes are a work in progress from Steve to improve the overall Audio quality and battery usage. I don't know much of the Audio stack or this driver in particular but I know there's still much to be done.
