go on this website http://www.mediafire.com/download/hath2562jyxipo3/tr.apk
download easy root kit v8 and download http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2784900
download tr.apk from 1st link
extract easy root kit
place tr.apk into files folder
then run program
Doesn't work for latest update .314
Works again just download v12 and use towelroot from towelroot homepage for .314

Let'try!

It works perfect. Thanks

***Edit****
Worked for me.. Thanks!!!
Model no SGP521

Is this working on the Verizon model?

Unroot possible?
After using this method, is it possible to unroot?
In case the tablet needs to be sent back to Sony, they won't touch it if they see root enabled.
How to unroot it? n00b here.

On the Z phones a simple factory reset by the pc companion would do fine in removing anything that could harm the warranty

Works perfectly on a SPG512 with 17.1.1.A.0.402 :highfive:

I rooted my Verizon variant with this method and all seems to work ok, had to run it twice however. Installed duel recovery after and making a backup now. All seems to work ok so far. Only thing I've mainly tried is root explorer and it gained SU rights and tested renaming an apk in the system files and worked fine.

That's great news. I mostly want to just debloat. With dual recovery, can we install ROMs should they ever become available?

Okay I have root I used the v10 easy root. Do I just flash dual recovery even though it clearly stats an unlocked bootloader is needed? I don't flash files if I am not sure of their compatibility. Thanks.

I knew they had CM11 on the wifi only version. I wasn't sure if they had a Verizon build. I have found it really difficult to find out what is LTE and what is wifi only.

[Q] Need help with rooting Galaxy Note 3 N900W8

I need help with rooting my Galaxy Note 3. I've never rooted a phone before so I am new to this. I've read some of the posts and understand a bit, but they're all confusing as there are quiet a few posts out there on how to root. I'd like to get some help on which correct tools and stuff I would need to download to help me root my phone. Preferably I would like to stick to stock ROM, or a custom ROM closest to stock without the Samsung bloatware. My phone model is the SM-N900W8, running on KitKat 4.4.2, with a baseband version of N900W8VLUCNB7, and Kernal 3.4.0-859721.

Nothing to do.
You can do factory reset no problem but you might loose root, but just repeat the process in case you do loose root. Be warned though, although quite a lot of people rooted their N900W8 without tripping root, can't exactly say it will be the same for everybody, it might trip it.

If you intend to stay on stock firmware and not flash a rom, then you don't need one. But if you flash a rom made for a N9005, then you will need a kernel made for N900W8/Tmobile in order to make NFC, BT and Wifi work ( also need a patch for the said sensors/signal ).

It will not change anything except root your phone. I know it says it's for N9005 but quite a lot of people even with different phone models have tried it and it worked and that's including me who has a N900W8 from Rogers.

POOT: This app is a one click root app. No computer needed
Framaroot: Framaroot is a oneclick root app . No computer needed
This is the most popular one!
Z4Root: Z4Root is an oneclick root app . No computer needed
Towelroot: Towelroot is an oneclick root app. No computer needed

Hi,
Did try to flash this...
Nothing to do : only a black screen on reboot.
Probably because I use the DoomLord Kernel and not DualRecovery...
Soft reboot and then FlashTool... here I come !

Sorry for the noob question but if I do this will I get root access on my Z2 tablet without needing it to be rooted first ?

Guess ill have to wait 7 million years for the official 5.0 release to hit my tablet and hope it addresses the inabilty to write or install to SD

The ROM won't unlock your bootloader
you can not use it for your 511 (you need a ROM for 511 or 512)

Be aware that kingroot sends your IMEI number to an IP address in china. Only use this is you are happy with that

Also works on 690 sw version.
After reboot i still got root access.
No downgrade needed, i only installed kingroot.
Did just a short test with titanium, seems to work fine.
As now its already 2 am here, ill look into it tomorrow when im at work.
Thanks for sharing that information.
doesn't work completely. Su Binary semi-working (root access granted, but titanium for example doesn't show user apps. also nut recovery cannot be installed, as the installer doesn't know kingroot su.) and building up an internet connection to china.

You can just root using the KingRoot payload and then replace kingroot with supersu, since you have writeaccess to system.
I'd installed King Root on a 23.1.A.0.726 - got root with it, installed dualrecovery, falshed the same FW as prerooted, removed king root and use now supersu
Very easy and short way.

I had rooted the I9192DDUCNL1 firmware available for India with KingRoot. Not sure about I9192DDUCOF2.
To all who managed to root this phone, did anyone manage to flash anything on it (custom recovery, custom ROM) or are you still running the stock firmware?
To anyone using safestrap, how is that working out, regarding speed, stability etc?
Sorry if off-topic here.
kingo root dont full root, can you update binarys?
