This is not the Thread to discuss your root conspiracy theories or why i needs root comments.

Take all your conversations to the Off Topic Thread here

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=59902499

This Thread still exist for those who wish to discuss development towards achieving root or discuss what is happening in the Developers Thread in order to achieve a goal.

Senior Mod KennyG123 was kind enough to open an Off Topic thread so you guys can all go there and discuss the

'why I need root'

and

'why is AT&T and Verizon doing this'

and the

'i only want this app to work'

And whatever else you fancy.

Please follow the rules and stop the nonsense in here.

Thread cleaned.

That's unfortunate to hear. There was so much focus on finding a working exploit to system, assuming the CVE-2014-4322 qseecom would work after that. Seems like we were so close with qseecom I hope we're not overlooking something. [MENTION=3669069]idler1984[/MENTION] [MENTION=4276415]p1gl3t[/MENTION] maybe?

If I understand correctly, a CVE for a kernel exploit that lets one gain root (with system privileges, or not) is needed, if CVE-2014-4322 qseecom really doesn't work.

These at least don't list anything new that I can see:

Any ideas about a kernel exploit that we may have overlooked? Sometimes stuff on twitter and the full disclosure mailing lists can slip through the cracks. The current exploit zxz0O0 used to get to system was overlooked until gatesjunior linked it I think.

I know because I applied common sense and looked at it.

Ok, take a minute and look. Some are useless, as in just a dos. Some are possibly exploitable (tun) except they are actually patched on this device (based on the kernel I looked at). Some are not exploitable on the device.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] rrjskj:

ok that made no sense ha.. I think June is when a fix was submitted but it has not been patched yet until later builds? maybe a dev can chime in but i assume 5.1+ is patched but then again it wouldnt say all builds are exploitable... either way it seems itd work on the s6, note 4 etc once a delivery method is available and its modified if necessary to work with different devices.

i think you must set ipv4 ping group range to 111 111 and then install the ping as -rwx--s--x 1 root in /bin/ping... then again i can be completely wrong but i assume once this is done the ping program you install during this process allows it to run without requiring root.

fingers crossed its soon...

MOD EDIT REMOVE QUOTE

rooting your device does not void your warranty unless you use a delivery method that does so. Methods such as flashing a custom recovery or unlocking the BL to obtain root for example would trip knox and void the warranty.

And I do not feel this is the place for this discussion as well as your suggestions of committing insurance fraud might not be ok on xda either. Purposely breaking your device or saying its lost/stolen when it is not is fraud.

I do not feel keen team would post an exploit as well as an individual saying he rooted the s6 and is working on a release if it was not done. One does not just "trip knox" and can root a device..I think further clarificationis needed from experienced devs and those working on root before people make posts without factual information.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] 彩色的风:
I apologize folks, I misunderstood ninja word, post any idea if you like. I believe it's a dev-level , so I post it the wrong place. please stop bashing me. bashing me doesn't lead you to get root. I would be happy to receive bash if you can gain root in that way, I have asked mod to delete my article so that ,I believe, we are clear. for those who want to post their idea, you should learn from my lesson. you have to be ready to receive mocking and bash. those days just like roll rider, up and down,actually I exchange my phone to a unlocked phone so it is not my business anymore. I just receive the message from keen and I think it will.be.awful to hide it .

I will leave this thread today to check what I can do after root, I will pray for you guys

to gain root,so byebye buddies! have a nice day!

So kingroot gets the bounty?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] nemopsp:
I'm not sure since it is only a temp root... need to wait for someone to release a package that allows us to reboot, but Kingroot does not trip knox

I rooted ATT Note 4 with KingRoot V4 NIE build 4.4.4 kitkat. Screenshot coming Not sure if it sticks yet I'll let you know if it does after reboot.

[MENTION=2260077]Android.Ninja[/MENTION]

Does it keep root after reboot? : No

Does it allow Chainfire SuperSU to binaries to be installed?: No (maybe if we had a recovery it would perm install SuperSu binaries [MENTION=702506]dees[/MENTION]Troy)

Does root and binaries stick after reboot?: No

#Temp root need to re root with KingsRoot each time you reboot but it works.

Edit 2: [MENTION=2812249]mattism78[/MENTION]

I don't think it is compatible with SuperSU it has its own app that allows you to to allow or deny root apps don't know what its called but its easy once you find it and we just need a perm method which devs are working on and hopefully Super SU because its English.

If you choose to use the tool, you may want to wipe personal data or at least any financial/banking data you have. Some have reported connections to China without much else to substantiate the claims.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] MrPlNK:
Can we get safestrap working on this prior to losing root? Would be able to flash the superuser zip and maybe retain root and SS? Just throwing ideas out
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] raynan:
The new flashfire app from chainfire might actually be a good option since it wouldn't require a full reboot to flash anything since it uses low-level linux.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] cstayton:
safestrap likely doesnt function for our device and in order for SS to work it requires rebooting into its own recovery so chances are slim it would retain root.

however, that being said I do have someone testing a theory out for me, if it turns out to work we will let you know (i'm not hopeful but anything is possible)

I have tried xposed, and I've got the framework installed but after you need to reboot, which I tired to soft reboot, but I still lost root

And I tired to reroot and see if it would work but it still needed a reboot
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] elliwigy:
the makers are from China.. Their roots are always like this to my knowledge.. maybe it contacts their server once it determines what exploit to use so it can retrieve the necessities to root the device?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] krytikul:
Seems as if I am losing root after a set period of time even if I do not reboot. Every 20 minutes or so I lose root access and am required to reboot and run kingroot again.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] gatesjunior:
Yes, I have looked at this as well. I did notice some interesting gathered information. Longitude, Latitude, Serial Number, Carrier, Make, Model, etc.. Some of this can be explained though with them just wanting to know from where it is being installed as well as type of device, etc.. They are using a secure connection as well to their side. It also appears to me they are using some of this information to determine what exploit(s) they will send back for the application to run and attempt root with.

I did not see anything yet that makes me completely worry about it.

If I were to put a tinfoil hat on my head I'd reference this article: (google this since I can't post links yet: nsa-clears-the-galaxy-note-4-and-galaxy-s5-for-us-government-use ). They certified this phone to process CLASSIFIED info thanks to the selinux/knox.

If I wanted to do a targeted attack against certain people that I knew had a specific phone, this would be a really easy way to find those people. Especially some knucklehead like Snowden at the NSA - young, arrogant, and trusts that the selinux will keep his phone safe but wants root access to exert *his* need for control. I'm not saying that is happening, but I'd bet 99.9% of the people using this script will be ok. The other .1% could very well be targets. Identify them over the data connection, give them root, modify their selinux, upload control software, log it, and move on to the next target.

Again - probably doesn't hurt 99.9% of you, but if you work for a 3-letter agency you probably don't want to be caught using this.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] yeswap:
I got that too the first 3 times I ran Kingroot. The 4th time it succeeded. I think maybe Kingroot's servers are overloaded and it's failing to connect.

Also the root seems flaky, The phone reooted twice since I rooted an hour ago. Once right after installing another app from the Playstore. The other time when I ran the Kinguser *SuperSU replacement) app. TB and Wakelock detector work fine though. Better Battery Stats doesn't. It wants to install itself as a system app which fails with SEL Enforcing error.
