SGH-I467 AT&T ROOT Method - SUPER EASY

[TheDogman]

Hey everyone!

I keep reading over and over and over the same questions: HOW CAN THIS NOTE 8 BE ROOTED?

It is very simple actually and takes a few seconds and ZERO flashing. I have read super complicated methods and this one I present to you below is BY FAR the absolute easiest. I have done this myself on dozens of Note 8's. It works perfectly every single time.

1. Download and install "SafeRoot".
2. Unpack it.
3. Run "install.bat".
4. Reboot Note when script finishes.

ENJOY FULL ROOT after a few seconds of time.

I hope this helps the many people I have read about asking how to root this nice little device.

Click thanks if this helps you out! (maybe this will be a "sticky" post so many can be helped)

Thank you very much!

Thanks!

This worked fine for me, and was, as described, SUPER EASY. i was able to de-bloat, but cannot find anyway to move apps to the ext SD card, as I hoped. Any suggestions?

Ok, I rooted my i467 the hard way....but, do you any news on the custom recovery yet? Thanks,

SafeRoot attachment seems to be removed. Can you please mirror the file?

Saferoot.zip - Here it is!

I have placed it on another thread as well, but I forgot which one... So here we go again.

Unlock or Root First?

My Note 8.0 is AT&T branded, and I'm thinking about unlocking it. Does it matter if I root it ft first or unlock it first?

Where would you recommend for buying the unlock code?

I rooted first with saferoot.zip.

and later performed the unlock. There are a few online unlockers. I prefer one that does not ask for personal information and uses paypal. Just an email and IMEI number. They are all about the same cost. I cannot remember who I used, but I chose the mid price option for 1 to 2 day responce, though I got the unlock codes within an hour.

Thanks for your response. If you don't mind more questions -

1. Would rooting the Note 8.0 make the devise eligible to install Samsung Premier Suite?
2. I presume the saferoot.zip folder should be downloaded to Note 8.0, so no cable is involved. Right?
3. Would unlocking the device mean I'll be able to use sim cards from European and Asian GSM carriers and use the Note 8.0 for tethering?

Thanks again for you kind response.

No, the saferoot.zip is unzipped and ran from the Windows based PC, and you will need the Samsung charging cable to connect.

As for using UK, Canadian, and Asian GSM networks. You will need to load a modem file manually, and if using wifi edit the database with sqlite to the region and channels you are running. For example, US will have nothing listed for channels. To get 14 channels, you can change to JP and 14, and will work everywhere, even in the states.

I have not gotten that far with manually loading the modem file as of yet.

Once you root with saferoot, you may opt to install the Rootcloak app from play store, and install the needed substrate driver, it will tell you when you setup rootcloak.

Any app that does not work with root can be added to rootcloak's white list. I have not found any issues with it and it works very well.

Where do i download saferoot? its not in playstore. Thanks NM - I found it a few posts back

 

[chrisxpierce]

Does this method attach the "CUSTOM" word during boot up like kingo? And how easy is it to unroot from this process and go back to stock? Im running the bug ridden 4.1.2 where the freeze ups are KILLIN ME. Thanks.

It's probably too late to say this, but I got mine a couple of days ago and I requested an unlock from AT&T as a non-customer and they sent me one in less than 12 hours.
I'm just putting this here so that people know that they should ask AT&T first. It's free and of course it's completely legal. If you are denied, then may be you can go to those websites.
Hope this helps...

How do you request an unlock from AT&T as a non-customer?

I request an unlock as a former AT&T customer, and after several phone calls and an online request, I still couldn't get the unlock code. At first AT&T claimed I had reached maximum number of unlocks for my account, and then they said this phone/tablet is associated with another account and only the account holder can request the unlock code. Another friend of mine also requested an unlock and was also told she had reached her maximum allowable unlocks (5/year). There is no way she could have requested 5 so far this year. In fact, it's zero. In all, good for you that you could get the code, but for me, it's a very frustrating experience.

I got an unlock code a couple days ago for Note 3 as a previous customer, though I had a line for 1 day. With the Note 8.0, I called them and told them I'm not a customer but I bought a used one with clean ESN that was fully paid, so they take your email and open a case for you, after which they contact you. In both times I was lucky that they sent me the unlock code in less than a day...

This is BY FAR the easiest ROOT method available for this tablet. Over and over I still see people posting ?'s about rooting this. Use SAFEROOT. It's a no brainer and takes 5 seconds. Enable Developer Mode on your Tab. Install USB drivers to PC. Plug the tablet in. Run install.bat from unpacked SafeRoot folder in admin CMD terminal. DONE.

-smiles- :good:

Doesn't this use the same exploit as towelroot? If so it has been patched in kernels dated June 3, 2014, or later which shouldn't be a problem for Note 8.0 users unless Samsung releases another OTA update.

Just be aware that rooting is only halfway there if you want to run custom ROM's and kernels. Flashing a custom recovery will still trip the KNOX "warranty void" flag if you have already upgraded to 4.4.2 even though that can be done from a rooted Android ROM using apps like Flashify.

The "official" Samsung stock ROM is still sitting @ 4.1.2 so this Root method still works perfectly when @ stock rom. You are correct in that people wanting custom roms will still need to go about loading preferred recovery methods. I offer the root method simply because there aren't a lot of custom roms floating around for this Tab and it allows for users to gain access and modify things they obviously wouldn't be able to on the stock rom. I doubt there will be any OTA for this Tab ... but you never know. -smiles-

I didn't realize that AT&T still hasn't provided the KitKat upgrade to this version of the Note 8.0. I have the WiFi only version (N5110) but I know that Rogers Canada has provided KitKat to their users of a model very similar to the AT&T version.

If and When AT&T decides to provide that update both rooting and flashing alternate firmware will be more difficult and likely to trip the KNOX flag in the 4.4.2 bootloader that voids the warranty.
