Towel Root works on the Tegra

The Samsung S5 root tool put out by geohot also works on the Tegra, just tried it and got root.

But we have to unlock the bootloader first?

I assume so, mine is already unlocked though.

I don't think so. Just tried it and used SDFix afterwards and it did no longer complain that it did not work (which it did before rooting).

Indeed it works. But i don't have a recovery

I agree root works,but don't have recovery

Successful root kitkat locked bootloader

i used towelroot by geohot, i installed the apk, again i have a locked bootloader, ran it, rebooted, used root checker and voila
i thought it was a longshot but i couldnt sleep this morning and was sifting through websites looking for root methods when i came across this for the samsung galaxy sfive and thought id give it a shot. and it worked. again i am stock kitkat with a locked bootloader.

ok Then..but i do think there was a way for those on system version 98.18.94....i think it was just the 4.1.2 with 98.30.1 that couldn't. but it's easy enough to just update...with kitkat all you have to do is install 2 apk's and your rooted and unlocked..

You can root 98.18.94 with SafeRoot but you can't unlock the bootloader on that version. Your best bet is to update and unlock your bootloader while you're at it so you never lose root.

It is nobody's responsibility to notify you when root is achieved on MM. It is YOUR responsibility to check back in the forums and do a little searching and reading to find out if root has been achieved on MM.

If I'm on stock 6.0.1, how to go about downgrading re-unlocking my BL and then getting rooted MM? I was unlocked prior, but locked to take the OTA...

Very doubtful you can downgrade that file from a locked marshmallow ROM via Odin

I've done it before. You can.

Was on MM, and downgraded to PB1, got root, unlocked bootloader, went back to MM and currently running Phoenix rom. It can be done.. Search the forums.. The info is there..

Hey I've just been browsing the forums and catching up on all the new stuff. Last time I was here there was no hope of a bootloader unlocked. I finally upgraded from kit Kat and unlocked mine. I want to try some MM Roms but I'm not sure how to get back to LP then?? Is there a way to get back and keep root? Or would I have to go back to completely stock pb1 and root and start over. Thanks

Root method

Is this method of rooting actually viable?

If bootloader is unlocked and have custom recovery.. Then yes... Otherwise no

For us no.
The only method we have is the Engineering bootloader.
