Actually I have 2 questions. What would be the guess to how long it would take for a new root method to be developed if you have a Samsung galaxy s4 where AT&T sent out the latest OTA update that left you with a MF3? I want to wait for the method that I would have the custom recovery and ROMS. Also who develops the method is it someone here? Just asking. Thanks!!! You are all awesome here and very prompt in your replies!
We allready have a root method...
Custom recovery and ROMs may never be possible on this phone with MF3.

A method has already been made. Check the device forum. Its under general.

Eta's are frowned upon. Nobody knows. They are a number of devs on this forum and others who are working on it. You'll just have to wait until one of them gets lucky. There is a lot of work behind the scene going on with this subject.
Edit, if you're interested in following some of the work being done, here is a good place to start. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=44423308
Thanks for the replies!
I was just curious on how it is done and appreciate everyone's reply. Learning and loving it!

Sorry, XDA (like CyanogenMod!) is a place where there are no deadlines/ETA (estimated times of arrival). XDA participants are not members of one organization. The users, reader and (most importantly) the developers here (individually and in their own teams), all do their own thing. Kind of semi-focused chaos really. . .
All these thousands of custom roms are the work of individuals and teams who do it on their own, and do it for fun! It's all free and done for the science and the art of being able to bend the technology our way. That's why developers here develop (for the most part!). Developers are not pushed by requests, and won't tell you when they have something -until they "really" have something
So folks can't predict when a development will pop up. Frankly, it is considered kind of bad form or even rude to ask for a date when some development will be ready or will arrive.

Many folks are stuck with the MF3 version.They can root, but they can't swap roms because of the locked bootloader issue.
Also, we do know that developers here - several individuals and even groups of developers are trying to "beat" that new bootloader, [and there is even a thread here with folks offering a bonus/incentive/whatever for the one (or many) who get the latest exploit.]
But the motivation is not the money, it's the success in making it work. Will they do it? Probably, but as one already answered here, it is possible that they might fail. Although I don't think that is the most likely outcome. When will they succeed? . . . No one knows, and we can almost do nothing except work on the exploit ourselves, or just wait !
Sorry, that's the best news as of today

Hi, Please dont get offended by this post
I have been on XDA forum for long time, I have never seen such a messed up forum the way SII's is.
Just got a SII, thought of flashing it, been lurking around in all the sub forums, there is too many information which is confusing. It is impossible for a person to flash his SII in a day, I have already spent three days trying just to find best possible way to root, even that seems tough now, cant it be made simple as it was on windows phone.. If all the developers can post files required for rooting along with their Rom in a seperate link, on the same page, it will be easier. Right now its like 'you can use my tyres for your car but you got to look for someone to fill the air some place else'. Sorry but this is what it really looks like!
It's simple really. Flash a rooted kernel an then you have root.

Sorry to say but..... this is just lazyness. Too easy to do it. On my first day of using the Galaxy S II, my first Android phone [I was using a Nokia N95-8GB], I've already got root, I've been able to delete crap from /system/app. Didn't take 3 days, and no dev will spend time writing a noob-guide of how to root, it's a basic thing where every Android user should do, and there are plenty of guides of how to root, and they are very easy. I think people should let the lazyness away and search for it, not writing useless threads complaining it's very hard.
Agree with the above. Rooting was the easiest part of starting to install a custom rom onto your galaxy s2
Funny though, how only you have a problem with rooting and everybody else is getting by somehow...
Have you tried looking in the sticky rollup, how about the huge guide on how to root your device?
If you take a moment to look at the stickies, everything you need is right there
Is the OP really complaining about too much documentation?
Whoa.
In 5 minutes you can have root, custom rom and kernel installed... :good:
Flash custom kernel (Siyah for example) via Odin to get root, recovery...
Download any custom rom, put it on internal SD, wipe (if needed) and flash it via recovery...

New users are like this:
2 minutes to read instructions/download kernel and odin + 15 seconds to set PDA and press start + 10 seconds to flash + 20 seconds to boot the phone + 1 day wondering wtf is the Superuser app.
I can symphathise with you, when you 1st get to this forum it is a bit confusing, but what i did was just find a thread with Root and Firmwares in one and its been smooth sailing since. Just take some time off and read the stickies.
Failpost is fail.
It is hard on start. Read at least the stickies and 10 first threads of major subforums. Above links are also great for rooting. If you want a universal method for your ics phone, just look at the guide linked in my signature

Lazy OP! Wish you were with a HTC phone and said those words, it would be close to legit then!
With Samsung, and it takes you more than 3 days just to root? Pure BS!
Anyways, to answer your Q, flash any CF-kernel matching your firmware! And flash your preferred ROM!
Ok that's enough OP bashing....
I'll just leave this here........

Sweet! I am looking forward to a forum and being able to root mine.
Great work. You look so genuinely psyched in the OP pic!!!! LOL
Awesome, now I just need them to release this on Amazon!! :fingers-crossed:
Also Note 10.1 forums are going to be added next week.
Isn't there a Galaxy Note 10.1 section? This is the Galaxy Tab 10.1 section. Two different tablets.

No not yet til next week I spoke with svetius and he said next week they are adding one. I am thinking it has to do with the 15th most likely being the official release of it and not just the europe one and black version
Let us be very clear, this is absolutely the wrong place for this thread - this is the Tab 10.1 section, not the Note 10.1 section, they are different devices.
If your device doesn't have a section yet, you don't just pick one you like the look of, you use the Android General section.
However, in this case, as there will be a proper Note 10.1 section opened soon the thread can stay. I can see little point in moving it just so it can be moved again in a few days.
As for other threads about the Note 10.1, they should be started in the correct place or you should just hold off until the new section has been opened.
Thank you Step666. I was wondering why the OP kept posting Samsung Note 10.1 stuff here when it's a completely different tablet. It was kind of annoying.
Nice, read about this on Engadget, another notch.
Has anyone tried just flashing SuperSU in recovery?
Many of Samsung's ICS recoveries seem to happily flash stuff that is signed with testkeys - it was confirmed recent I9100 releases seem to happily flash SuperSU directly, no Odin hax or anything like that necessary.
Thanks I'm doin it ASAP! Does anyone know if Amazon will have them?

Its a million time answerd qstn.. Flash latest cwm and latest 4.4 rom. Its easy as that. You will get the detailed procedure from the respective threads.. Its not fair to create a seperate thread for this. You could have use qna section instead. By answer to yr query, i am no way encouraging your attitude

It's too bad that you didn't tell us how you tried searching since the answer you are looking for is easy to find here. And it would be constructive to discern how your search could have failed at the same time.
Towel root is said to not work for the 900H. So use the CF auto root method. If it doesn't work, then use Odin to revert to the oldest 4.4.2 firmware image that you can find for your model, then try again and it will work. Lots of elaboration in the forum if you need further details.
There is a wealth of information in existing details in existing threads if you search. Often answering your question immediately and invariably helping you ask more informed questions.

It is indeed.
My last post answered your question, so I have no idea what you are waiting on. All that you need to do is download the CF auto root script and use it. If you had described how you were searching e.g. what keywords you were using, I would have also helped you make more efficient searches too.
Google search: cf auto root xda
Good luck with rooting your phone.

I think a few of us are getting too carried away with root lol. I, myself, sure had to catch myself. Don't forget that most of us do not have a custom recovery which means if you brick your device, you'll probably have to pm the devs and if a lot of that happens, they'll end up with an even bigger inbox than before root lol but my main reason for the thread is that everybody is speaking on unlocking the bootloader but I haven't heard one word on a bump'd recovery like on the G3? Is that even possible on this phone? By the way, would it be risky if I tried the universal init.d app? Kinda wanna try L Speed on this.
Lg flash tool.
We can get custom stock roms if any dev wants to do it. We just flash the img file.

Lol who's being a "donkey"?
Only the 815EU and 811 have unlocked bootloaders hence TWRP the rest of the g4 community does not have this benefit... On the subject of bumped, pretty sure that exploit used has been closed by LG...if you guys thought root took long the wait for another BL exploit likely will be much longer. I hope I'm wrong but I can't see another one being found for a while. Seems this time around LG really wants to lock every avenue down. The next coming soon firmware update will patch the current root backdoor, also the root that vnmobile discovered seems to be patched as well, although he hasn't released any details, it could very well be the same backdoor.
