[TUT]Real i537 DeepSleep - Galaxy S 4 Active General

Well after many research in order to get deep sleep now I got it, 2%/h, it's very easy indeed:
Requierement:
1- Root
2- Terminal Emulator or any script manager
3- Rename DeepSleep Script deleting txt extension (name must be "DeepSleep")
Steps:
1- Download the script on attachment
2- Open Terminal Emulator and type:
su
cd /sdcard (in case you copy the DeepSleep Script on /sdcard root)
sh DeepSleep
3- wait until you see # or $ symbol
4- reboot
this script just need to be run once
Changelog:
First released: Just few commands to disable some battery hunger
Second released: Added few build.prop options

Going to try this

No dice on this working, says all the services weren't found. Was this made for Kitkat or jelly bean by chance?
i537 5.0.1 OC7 - SickAsHell custom rom, 1.5.1Dev

[MOD][P905] enable init.d support for stock rom LTE QUALCOMM ONLY!

At first, I am not liable for any harm or damage that may happen to your device!
If you have su and didn't trigger knox, I CANNOT guarantee that running this script won't cause 0x1!
Requirements:
1) P905/viennalte/Qualcomm based model ONLY (won't work on Exynos devices. MIGHT work on other Qualcomm LTE deices from Note Pro and Tab Pro series - feel free to repost but give credits!) running 4.4.2 stock;
2) root access with SuperSU (using cf-root - credits to chainfire);
3) busybox installed (I do recommend this paid installer: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=stericson.busybox.donate , MOST PROBABLY free version will be more than enough, too, but I haven't tested it as I have license...)
4) Android Terminal Emulator installed ( free at: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=jackpal.androidterm )
Installation:
1) download file init.d_qcom.sh using below link and put it in the root of internal memory (so it will be placed in: /sdcard/init.d_qcom.sh)
2) run Android Terminal Emulator
3) at command line, type:
Code:
su -c /sdcard/init.d_qcom.sh
(give it an access if requested)
4) voila.
Additional info for advanced users:
1) scripts in /system/etc/init.d shall be root:root 755 (and NOT 777 as stated in A LOT of sources, thou has to be a heavy idiot to give write access for system files to "world"...)
2) init.d is handled from one of the /system/etc qualcomm additional scripts as it refused to work using regular install-recovery.sh method...
3) scripts are triggered paralelly but I am using different method (find/nohup/su combination...), as this damn rom refused to simply execute "run-parts" applet...
4) init.d permission helper script included (just put your scripts in init.d and they'll receive proper permissions on reboot)

I might try, however I do not own the device and the file structure is completely different.. Can you first enter via Android Terminal:
Code:
su
ls -l / >/sdcard/content.txt
ls -l /system/etc >>/sdcard/content.txt
And post the /sdcard/content.txt file which will be created (or its contents only)?
Also, i would be glad if you copy every *.rc file from root of filesystem to a dir , compress it to one file and post it too

After looking into sent (and posted) files, I have to say that the init process in our devices are ABSOLUTELY different.
Qualcomm version triggers about 7-8 scripts lying in /system, which are provided by Qualcomm, which are pointed in configuring all the hardware provided with their chipset - in addition to init.???.rc files from the kernel. The clue was to add init.d execution command at the very end of one of those scripts (and that is done automatically with script attached in the first post).
Exynos version does not launch (almost - see below) ANY external script during the boot. Whole process seems to be performed by rc files lying in root of the filesystem, which are embedded in kernel's ramdisk and any edits won't preserve the reboot, so it cannot be done without repacking the kernel and that is something far more troublesome to perform without device in hand, without the firmware on disk and without a plenty of time.
BUT
it still runs /system/etc/install-recovery.sh which is an Android standard and which genuine purpose was to reflash recovery back to stock if a custom one was detected. Now, it is sometimes utlized to run somehing at boot, especially: it is used by SuperSu (in addition with other methods) to run its daemon. The problem is that kitkat introduced enforcing SELinux, that Samsung SELinux policy adds special security context for this file, that install-recovery.sh won't be launched if the file has no proper security label - and that while installing SuperSu, the context is set in a different way and in final, install-recovery.sh isn't launched, until we restore /system context, and restoring context to the system ends with... non working su, so we have to flash it again, breaking install-recovery.sh context... Did you get it? - it's a loop as fixing one thing breaks the second, and fix to the second breaks the first That is why on my qualcomm device i have chosen another script file to run the init.d - and as you don't have any other script except install-recovery.sh, I don't know where it might be put...
BUT also I cannot guarantee that the behavior above is not qualcomm-exclusive and it is possible that on exynos device everything will work without problem!
That's why you may want to try standard method for all the devices (term init - uses install-recovery.sh method described above):
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1933849
and if it won't work then you have to wait for - at least - repacked kernel with init.d support embedded into init.rc files or run your script by an external app, ie SManager. Just be aware that even if term init work, it may stop working every time you flash SuperSu, so remember to run the script again then.
Sorry for not being too helpful.

[SUPPORT] Update failures

With all major changes to SuperSU, there are updates to both the GUI and binary. The GUI is the part you see on screen, the binary is what allows other apps to actually acquire root access. The first time you open SuperSU after such an update, it will attempt to update the binary to the latest version.
There are a lot of components to the binary and it needs to be set up just right for everything to work. This is a complex operation, and sometimes it fails. SuperSU is used by dozens of millions of users across hundreds of different devices, running even more different firmware revisions - any change always has the potential to break something somewhere.
SuperSU offers multiple ways of installation: in-app 'normal', in-app TWRP/CWM, and ZIP via TWRP/CWM. These all have their own strengths and weaknesses, so if one doesn't work, try the others if available.
If you are reporting an update failure, you should include at least the following information. Some information requires some skill with adb to retrieve.
- Exact device model
This includes the brand, the model, and the carrier variant (if applicable: mostly USA, Korea, China)
- Exact firmware version
Which exact firmware are you using? If you are using a custom firmware, please include a link to the download for this firmware. If on top of that, you are also using a custom kernel, please include a link to the download for that as well.
- Exact Android version
Android x.y
- Exact SuperSU version
Which version were you running, and to which version are you updating? If using Pro, do you have OTA survival mode enabled?
- Interfering apps
There are some apps that can interfere with SuperSU installation, primarily:
- other Superusery apps
- Xposed
- BusyBox (symlinked or non-symlinked)
Include in your report if you have one or more of these installed.
- Update methods tried
In-app 'normal', in-app via recovery, and ZIP via recovery. If you used one of the recovery options, please include exactly which version of which recovery you are using, and if it's not an official build (so a TWRP not from the TeamWin website, a CWM not from CWM's site, etc) a link to where you got it from.
Note that if you let TWRP or CWM "fix" root for you, or let them disable the firmware from flashing a new recovery (sometimes you are asked this), you have broken root, and the only way to recover it is flashing the full ZIP through recovery.
- What kind of root are you left with?
After a failed binary update, multiple outcomes are possible:
- Root is lost. Apps cannot get root anymore, you cannot get root using "su" from an adb shell, etc
- Root seems to mostly still work. Most apps still work, and/or "su" still works from an adb shell
- Nothing seems to have changed at all, even the GUI still shows the old version number
Report what state your device is in now. Note that you can get the version of the main "su" binary by running "su -v" from a terminal emulator or adb shell.
- Logs from TWRP, when updating the binary using the TWRP/CWM button inside the SuperSU app
After pressing the TWRP/CWM button, the device should reboot into TWRP, do it's thing for a few seconds, then reboot into Android. If SuperSU still complains about the binary, please retrieve the TWRP log file. You can retrieve it via adb pull /cache/recovery/last_log, which should produce the last_log file in your current directory. You still need at least partial root from booted Android to retrieve this log. Sadly it is wiped and replaced with a new file when you boot into recovery a second time, so you cannot retrieve it that way. Note that this log will always contain a number of errors, as the installer tries several things in several ways, that work differently on different firmwares. Attach this log file.
- Logs from TWRP, when updating SuperSU completely via ZIP
If after you boot back into Android, SuperSU is not working right or still asks for updated binaries, reboot back into TWRP, install the ZIP again. After the ZIP is installed, you can retrieve the log file via adb pull /tmp/recovery.log, which should produce the recovery.log file in your current directory. Attach this log file.
- Logs from SuperSU (very important)
If SuperSU keeps asking you to update the binaries after trying any which way and failing, please post the detection log. After updating has failed, don't reboot, but produce detection information via adb logcat -d | find /i "installer" > logcat.txt (Windows, use 'grep -i' instead of 'find /i' on Linux or OSX), which should produce a logcat.txt file in your current directory with several lines mentioning SuperSU. Attach this log file.
- Various logs (very important)
Some additional handy information can be gotten by via some adb shell calls. If you that working, copy/pasting the following commands should produce a nice sulog.txt file in your current directory, which you should attach to your post:
(as always with copy/pasting, make sure you press enter a few times afterwards to make sure the last line was flushed)
Code:
adb shell getprop > sulog.txt
adb shell set >> sulog.txt
adb shell toolbox id >> sulog.txt
adb shell busybox >> sulog.txt
adb shell su -v >> sulog.txt
adb shell su -V >> sulog.txt
adb shell su -h >> sulog.txt
adb shell su --self-test >> sulog.txt
adb shell ls -l /system/xbin/*su* >> sulog.txt
adb shell ls -lZ /system/xbin/*su* >> sulog.txt
adb shell ls -lZ /system/bin/toolbox >> sulog.txt
adb shell ls -l /system/bin >> sulog.txt
adb shell ls -l /system/xbin >> sulog.txt
adb shell ls -laR /su >> sulog.txt
adb shell ps >> sulog.txt
In closing
All this information will help diagnose the problem, and potentially help fix the issue if there is something wrong with SuperSU itself (which is not unheard of). The more information you provide, the better you can be helped. Still, be aware that often it takes a while to get a problem sorted. Even when a lot of people are having the same problem (and many problems may look the same but deep down are separate issues), it is rare to find a user who actively wants to help fix the issue. Most users will only complain but then don't really assist in solving the issue. If you can be someone who can actively help, and by that I mean being responsive to questions, being available for a live debugging session, etc, you are a rare gem indeed, and your assistance will be greatly appreciated.
If you are writing multiple posts, it is always helpful if you keep linking back to your original post with the report. Saves me time.
Sorry for the inconvenience!

Can't even sign onto my gmail to be able to download any app from the play store. I am out of town & without a computer until later tonight. Would re rooting fix my problem? I do not have recovery flashed onto my phone. It wasn't available when I rooted & I never got around to doing it. Pleasant Help! I have a titanium back up of my 0hone but can't download the application to try that avenue.

Sounds unlikely to be due to SuperSU. Either way, there's nothing you can really do about it now. Situations like these I advise a factory reset and a data restore.

You would restore the data from a backup you've made before resetting ?
In SuperSU you can try 'full unroot' from Settings (twice if necessary) and unroot, see if that resolves the slowness/crashing.
The only backup I have is a titanium backup. I can't get anything to download from the play store. I never flashes recovery because it wasn't available when I rooted. I never went back to add it (which I could kick myself for right now). Would re rooting help? Supersu isn't on my phone anymore either. I'm not sure what happened to that.
Edit: could the platform.xml under /etc/permissions/platform.x ml have anything to do with it?

Samsung N7100 Hong Kong (rom is UK)

2.14 pro
Don't have OTA survival mode enabled.
Before updating the SU, I can use the SU as usual. But after updating the SU binary via normal, it says I didn't install the execute file ( something like that, since I'm using Chinese), which means i haven't root.
So, do i need to re-root, then update the SU binary?

You can give it a shot, rerooting via the ZIP ( http://download.chainfire.eu/supersu ) with TWRP. See if that helps, and let us know. If it doesn't fix the issue, I will find this firmware and flash it on my own N7100 (if possible) and see if I can replicate the issue.
SuperSU Problem!
I've rooted my device (GT-1335 - Android 4.4) with Windershare Rooting Toolkit, After rooting I've installed Root checker basic from the market and run it. It says your device is rooted. But when i wanted to go to root using FX explorer, it says you need permission from Advance user. When i click SuperSU after that it says that "There is no Su binary installed, and SuperSu cannot install it. This is a problem!", After that i checked whether my device is rooted or not with Root checker basic, but now its says that my device isn't rooted!
Please Help, and replay soon!
Note: My device isn't original samsung model!
super su still loading
After update super su in playstore my s4 octacore in app tab on supersu still loading but nothing happened...
I had problems with using Stock 4.4.4 on my i9305.
Was freezing/not opening, then when it did it wouldn't update.
So I went to the SuperSu site and downloaded the latest to instal via CWM.
Now working fine. Hope this helps someone.

I tried to reroot on my s4, but nothing changes, when updating the SU to 2.14.
So, I think, maybe, the main problem is SU 2.14 on 4.4.2 and 4.3.
My s4 was 4.3 rooted, before the SU update, everything was fine. But after updating, the SU app said I didn't root. Then I updated my FW to 4.4.2(I9505ZHUFNB3), and used CF-root to root. Still ok, but when the SU updated to 2.14, thing happened again. (Now my s4 is temp unroot for playing game , but can't root again as it says "You didn't root")
Sorry for my bad English.

I think i figure out the problem, is the SU bin update. My note 2 is rooted and is using SU 2.14 pro, but i don't update the bin. It works fine, but when opening the su app, it asks you to update the bin.

Caterpillar s40 + Xposed?

I have cat s40 met 5.1 Lollipop. This Smartphone is success rooted by rootking.
I want have Xposed on that phone, but when i fail mod that phone how i recover back it?
Caterpillar don't released PC suite like "Samsung Smart Switch" or "Odin". Is any alternative for flash cat s40?
I don't saw any Stock ROM in internet for that phone and i don't found source code for that phone.
I don't found TWRP for that phone is released for it?
Caterpillar s40 is compatible to Xposed? someone have Xposed on that phone?
I search too good program for backup NAND and recovery before try install custom recovery.

I hope after we can download source code someone can make TWRP of custom ROM for us ;]
Cat s40 SuperSU + Xposed
I have SUCCESS ROOT + SuperSU + Xposed on my Cat s40 :]
1. Kingroot root
2. install "SuperSU_v2.65.apk" ( i installed it by Lucky Patcher as System app)
3. Reboot
4. use script "switch_armv7.sh" i added script i found that on XDA forum but i don't remember where.
If script don't work you can try again gain root by kingroot and in SuperSU update supersu binary ( SuperSU can detect Kingroot so you must uninstall it) This script worked for my Cat s40 fine.
5. After script install new binary in SuperSU app
6. SuperSU succes!
7. FlashFire flash Xposed Binary ( i added too Xposed binary)
7. Reboot ( boot is longer than normal)
8. You have SuperSU root and Xposed Framawork on your Cat s40
You can too by FlashFire make backup your system partition and use it in TWRP if someone do it for us... or flash it after gain SuperSU root ( FlashFire on Kingroot don't working)
You do it at your own risk!
First i tried that method on myPhone Infinity LTE ( i can that flash by computer when it bricked )
I think it can work on all Android 5.1 lollipop.
Wirusx, thanks for the feedback.
Can i get more detail and confirmation :
First use kingroot 4.9.3 found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/apps-games/one-click-root-tool-android-2-x-5-0-t3107461
After that it's rooted, and then you install the script in supersubinary.rar . But can you explain in detail to put what file where on the S40, or do we only need to install the superuser.apk file?
Is xposed framework nessesary found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3034811
How about use uptodate kingroot and after that supersumepro ?
Rooted Cat S40 running 5.1 Lollipop
After several attempts and reboots all ok. Caterpillar Cat S40 running Lollipop 5.1 working fine.
1st thanks to all devs. (VickyB, MrW0lf, Chainfire etc). :good:
Then. My attempt consisted from pointers or several threads. Started with Wirusx and got something else from somewhere else. I try getting a whole picture here.
(I did not look for fresh look, but better battery consuption, better security and such. So no new roms etc needed. Cat is quite plain and sleek anyway.)
Basically it was of Wirusx instructions, but with some tweaks as apparently at this stage some update has tightened Cat OS that fewer exploits work.
Several files has be in phone (internal storage worked for me, sdcard not). One app from Gplay (Terminal Emulator) and ->
see this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/apps-games/replace-kingroot-supersu-t3339950
1. Kingoroot - 2. Reboot - 3. Run Script (which will give you also SuperUser app). - 4. Reeboot - 5. Updated Superuser and another reboot.
- Done.
There were some moments when not all ok. After 3, verified through Emulator who is "in charge". "su -v" in same directory as you ran the original script. Showed SuperUser 2.65, so all ok. But apps listed listed KingoRoot/Purify. But not SuperUser, although the root was through it. I had to download it again via Play. After 5 all ok "in Wonderland".
Some pointers from unknown threads (which I failed to find again). Apparently the situation was like the following exerpt shows.
"It seems that the script doesn't work the same way on every device. For me, it just deleted Kingroot,
and left me with just a temporary root terminal, . SuperSU was never launched nor installed,
and when I installed it I got a "There are no su binaries installed".
I did the following to install SuperSU:
1. Run the script for your proper architecture.
2. If it doesn't launch SuperSU at the end or even worse, if you install it but get the
" no su binaries", DON'T close the last root terminal.
3. Run
su -v
If it returns something like SUPERSU-2.65 you're good to go. If it doesn't,
re-run the script again in order to push the proper su binary again.
4. Go to the terminal and type:
mount -o rw,remount /system
chmod 7777 /system/xbin/su
chmod 7777 /system/xbin/daemonsu
Note: at this point SuperSU will start to work, even if you didn't update its binaries.
4. Open SuperSU. It'll ask you to update its binaries, press yes.
5. Since it's highly advised to have SuperSU in /system in order to preserve root access
through updates, you just gotta move the SuperSU.apk included in the zip to /system /app and
chmod it with 0755 permissions.
I downloaded SuperSu from Play and it worked.
Rooted Cat S40 firmware update
Hi!
Is it possible (ad if yes, how) to update the firmware of a rooted Cat S40. My rooting process was the previously mentioned Kingroot -> SU, but after this the OTA update does't finish, even with FlashFire.
jeroensky said:
Wirusx, thanks for the feedback.
Can i get more detail and confirmation :
First use kingroot 4.9.3 found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/apps-games/one-click-root-tool-android-2-x-5-0-t3107461
After that it's rooted, and then you install the script in supersubinary.rar . But can you explain in detail to put what file where on the S40, or do we only need to install the superuser.apk file?
Is xposed framework nessesary found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3034811
How about use uptodate kingroot and after that supersumepro ?

Install SuperSU on MK903V Android 4.4.2 having adb root shell

Hi, I need your help
I have a MK903V Android TV HDMI Stick (Android 4.4.2, API Level 19). I need it to run apps requiring root without prompting for root access - which SuperSU allows.
The stick has a root shell via adb and comes with a su binary ("su --help" says "SuperSU v1.99 - Copyright (C) 2012-2014 - Chainfire"). I cannot boot a recovery like TWRP (I guess).
I've tried:
- install and run superuser.apk v1.99, says it must update su binary, fails updating su binary (normal mode)
- install and run superuser.apk v2.79, says it must update su binary, fails updating su binary (normal mode)
- install and run towelroot, says it got root, install superuser.apk (v2.79), says it must update su binary, fails updating su binary (normal mode)
- rooting via Kingo Root (PC), works including its su prompt on root apps (like the bloatware it installs), running superuser.apk, says it must update su binary, fails updating su binary (normal mode) (never prompted for root)
I found articles saying you could run the installer script from the update.zip, which is used to install SuperSU from recovery, in an adb root shell if you adapt it... I'm not so much into unix stuff / shell, so I'm pretty sure I won't do that on my own. Moving two or three files to the devices and setting chmod/chown is not a problem, but the script looks way more complicated...
Is there actually a version of the script that can run from a adb root shell?
Is there any other way I can get SuperSU on a device I already have root access to?!? Didn't think that could be so complicated...
Thx
P.S. I'd also take a su binary that just grants all access and doesn't even come with a gui
upgrade mk903v to android 5 or higher
How do i upgrade my mk903v stick to a higher version of Android. It comes with 4.4.2 kit kat. Any help would be appreciated...
Thanks
EDIT: SKIP THIS - READ NEXT
Okay, I finally rooted the device...
- Installed KingRoot APK (v5.0.4) from https://kingroot.net/
- Ran KingRoot which did its suspicious magic on the device for more than 15min
- Installed SuperSU and granted it root
- Ran the root.sh script attached which basically kills and removes KingRoot and lets SuperSu replace su binary
- Ran SuperSU again and successfully updated su binary
It is the only solution I found so far...
Sometimes the web just confuses me...
Found this:
http://freaktab.com/forum/tv-player-support/rk3288-devices/17987-new-3288-ez-root-tool
Simple and clean "update.zip" [MD5:7a2755fd5ebe8a2928fc01a4ab0cbabb]
Copy to internal or external sdcard and just reboot or wait for the system popup that says that a new firmware update was found. Update will be applied and device got proper (but old) SuperSU installed.
After that, you may just install the latest SuperSU. (is there a reason why the latest APK is not available on http://www.supersu.com/download#apk ??)

Hello,
Apparently your CPU is an arm32 bits processor, so dl the last zip from this page:
http://dl-xda.xposed.info/framework/sdk23/arm/
And flash it via custom recovery.
After flash the zip, reboot in classic mode and check again by opening XPosed Installer app.

Read fully, gather resources, install prerequisites on PC and study before proceeding AND only with confidence, considering all risks. Steps are generally in order but start with verifying reactivation lock is not enabled at Settings/Security while phone is booted.
I'd also recommend that you begin with fingerprints removed and no encryption. Make backups frequently in TWRP recovery beginning with suggested stock backup on ext sdcard as explained along the way.
Note: remember, before making any backups that fingerprints should be removed. Fingerprints do not restore from custom backups and don't work as expected even restored in a backup. Problematic!
Steps may contain redundant reminders and links because I've reiterated important things more than once.
Begin here when prerequisites, explained, are installed and gathered. The SuperSU zip and Wanam unofficial Xposed can be downloaded to phone's internal memory or retained for safe keeping on your micro sdcard. Just remember where downloaded to find when flashing in recovery. Always verify md5 of zips before extracting or flashing (as applies) where available. Sanity check to be safe.
USB driver will be installed on PC as executable; Odin will be extracted to Odin folder; your user files are good location to place this folder with extracted files; the exe file is an Odin application launcher executable with dependencies. The TWRP img.tar file will be downloaded to PC to install with Odin as explained along the way.
You can use the 3.1.1 Xposed Installer apk but your Xposed framework is going to be an unofficial one from Wanam for touchwiz lollipop and marshmallow.
Wanam also has an Xposed module suggested for touchwiz marshmallow: XTouchWiz (found with download search in Xposed Installer application when successful in installing all that I've given guidance for) . You might try that one first for SM-N910P; (other likened Xposed modification modules may not be as compatible as this Wanam module-- not too be confused with Wanam unofficial framework zip for recovery flashing to install Xposed framework). Note the differences.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=62377731&postcount=1
The file you'll eventually find is Wanam unofficial Xposed framework for SDK 23 arm.
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=529152257862685344
I don't believe you're rooted. It also appears you're trying to flash custom zips with stock recovery? Are you familiar with TWRP recovery by Team Win? You'll need that to backup your ROM and flash custom zips like SuperSU zip and unofficial Xposed framework by Wanam. (Bootloader is already unlocked on SM-N910P; please make sure that is your model number because that's what I'm recommending files for).
https://dl.twrp.me/trltespr/twrp-3.0.2-0-trltespr.img.tar
The file above is latest custom recovery for SM-N910P or any Qualcomm Note 4. Recently, the TWRP recovery became unified by processor but common mistakes users of Qualcomm Note 4 make is not knowing which to flash and what's required for Odin install and how to properly flash in Odin. What's Odin? It's a utility made for flashing custom tar files and stock tar updates for rooted users. There are many updates and untrusted sources (beware of adware or malware!) but basically it's installed on a PC as an executable file. But you'll also need the official USB driver to help the PC discover your phone when placed in download mode to flashed with Odin. What will you flash? The tar.img file above.
To get started download USB driver and Odin. Install USB on PC with its exe file.
http://org.downloadcenter.samsung.c...G_USB_Driver_for_Mobile_Phones_v1.5.45.00.exe
Latest Odin trusted download is below. Unzip or extract contents in a folder named Odin
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=51767811&postcount=1
If you have Samsung Smart Switch or Samsung KIES installed on PC, you need to ensure all process and apps sessions are closed before using Odin. Also note that launching Odin exe on Windows 8 and below requires to launch with administrative permission (right click the executable file and select launch with administrative permission). Windows 10 does not require administrative mode at launch.
Are you familiar with launching download mode? Power Off, pull battery after charging to at least 80% (general rules for flashing in Odin download mode- never use a "boot to download mode" shortcut from system booted state; actually, that necessity applies to flashing full stock tar but remember that; make it a practice is my suggestion to avoid catheter csc errors with full stock tar flashes with Odin-- that's how rooted users update). Reinstall battery and press hold volume down, home and power button until it vibrates or launches. Read the prompt on phone* this is important because flashes are always a risk. Launch Odin on PC and goto options tab and uncheck auto restart and return to to log tab. While watching "COM" field with USB cable connected (must be data USB type cable- original Samsung Note 4 is recommended), follow prompt* I believe it's volume up to continue. Read your phone's state and see that COM field populated with your device (likely a port or device number unique to your PC where phone USB cable is connected or your phone* it only populates when you accept/commit download mode with phone and PC connected via USB with data support). Do not proceed until verifying your phone display shows Odin fast mode and that reactivation lock is disabled or inactive. If that is a go, load the img.tar in AP slot. You still see the file name fill that slot when you navigate to it on your PC and select it. The install button will be at bottom of Odin screen, I believe. Begin when all is verified.
If all above is a go, just remember that you're looking for a green field that fills and says SUCCESS! Happens quickly and stops (if you setup as directed). Wait until you see Odin log file state that "1 passed, 0 failed". Give it a minute to declare "disconnected" or just wait one minute before proceeding. Since auto reboot was unchecked, you'll have to remove USB and pull battery manually (wait at least 30 seconds after pulling battery before reinstalling). And close Odin after each flash session; you're actually done with the PC for this directive. IMPORTANT: If you fail to go directly to recovery mode after reinstalling the battery, stock recovery will restore itself and you'll have to do the Odin flash of TWRP again. To do this, press and hold volume up, home and power simultaneously until it vibrates; TWRP recovery should launch. You're now ready to backup your stock un-rooted ROM. I recommend backing up to ext SD Card (micro sdcard).
To familiar yourself with TWRP install and use, there's a support thread for that. There's also an official TWRP recovery application in Google Play. Search it there. Note the thread hasn't reflected latest update or developer notes since the official TWRP recovery app launched in Google Play but many unique questions are answered there. Ignore any suggestions to use an older TWRP version or any specific update or Android version. Suggestions like this change over time and may not be relevant at present.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/no...ility-twrp-2-8-1-0-teamwin-t2915591?nocache=1
After backup, I'd recommend installing SuperSU zip with TWRP recovery.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=68475511&postcount=1
Make a rooted TWRP backup before applying Xposed and label accordingly, saving to ext sdcard. You can edit the generalized title of backup as you prefer. Rather than the extended fine stamp, shorten to include your description.
Then you can install the Xposed Installer apk (install by sideload method not recovery- you may have already done this) and Wanam unofficial Xposed zip. Follow this thread; I've already linked the zip above but usually you're looking for the highlighted download link and browse to marshmallow SDK 23 arm.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=62377731&postcount=1
All threads referenced are your support threads for files referenced. Understand before flashing that there risks you assume yourself. Never a guarantee that you'll be successful or the inevitable happens from followed instructions offered by me or anyone else I've linked you to.
Again, make sure you haven't set reactivation lock in phone's Settings/Security tab before beginning and verify the phone display and Odin states before flashing. Not following could result in phone activating a factory reset protection mode. Not sharing to warning while flashing TWRP recovery may only refuse to flash due to reactivation lock enabled and may state such when using recent Odin releases. But that message may be only abbreviated and cause question of its intent.
Only flash when familiar and confident with instructions. Better to ask than risk misunderstood direction. There may recent demo videos to follow but avoid using suggested older files, noting date of your video; they're not necessarily scripture to live by. Best to use recent files and direction because unlike a certain BOOK, updates and time changes with Samsung, touchwiz and Note 4 development.
There's also some custom ROMs to consider if you follow the road map of XDA links for Sprint Note 4 at top of thread: Note 4 development, rather than Note 4 original development where TWRP support thread. Updates for TWRP can be found in the official TWRP recovery app but I've linked you latest recommended release for flashing in Odin.
Questions? Ask away or read the support threads to familiarize yourself. Many questions are answered there.

Final result on my SM-N910P Note 4. See screenshots.
I'm using a couple of non Xposed modules to compliment modification outside of Xposed. Since compatible modules and applications are sometimes limited, I'll include those for clarification. Both linked below by Google Play link. Strictly optional. Both contain back to kill foreground app shortcuts but may be premium only features- I'm not sure on both or whether one or the other would be ideal. I sort of discovered these apps by recommendation and haven't tried eliminating one or the other.

The file you'll eventually find is Wanam unofficial Xposed framework for SDK 23 arm.

I don't believe you're rooted. It also appears you're trying to flash custom zips with stock recovery? Are you familiar with TWRP recovery by Team Win? You'll need that to backup your ROM and flash custom zips like SuperSU zip and unofficial Xposed framework by Wanam. (Bootloader is already unlocked on SM-N910P; please make sure that is your model number because that's what I'm recommending files for).

The file above is latest custom recovery for SM-N910P or any Qualcomm Note 4. Recently, the TWRP recovery became unified by processor but common mistakes users of Qualcomm Note 4 make is not knowing which to flash and what's required for Odin install and how to properly flash in Odin. What's Odin? It's a utility made for flashing custom tar files and stock tar updates for rooted users. There are many updates and untrusted sources (beware of adware or malware!) but basically it's installed on a PC as an executable file. But you'll also need the official USB driver to help the PC discover your phone when placed in download mode to flashed with Odin. What will you flash? The tar.img file above.
To get started download USB driver and Odin. Install USB on PC with its exe file.

Latest Odin trusted download is below. Unzip or extract contents in a folder named Odin

If you have Samsung Smart Switch or Samsung KIES installed on PC, you need to ensure all process and apps sessions are closed before using Odin. Also note that launching Odin exe on Windows 8 and below requires to launch with administrative permission (right click the executable file and select launch with administrative permission). Windows 10 does not require administrative mode at launch.
Are you familiar with launching download mode? Power Off, pull battery after charging to at least 80% (general rules for flashing in Odin download mode- never use a "boot to download mode" shortcut from system booted state; actually, that necessity applies to flashing full stock tar but remember that; make it a practice is my suggestion to avoid catheter csc errors with full stock tar flashes with Odin-- that's how rooted users update). Reinstall battery and press hold volume down, home and power button until it vibrates or launches. Read the prompt on phone* this is important because flashes are always a risk. Launch Odin on PC and goto options tab and uncheck auto restart and return to to log tab. While watching "COM" field with USB cable connected (must be data USB type cable- original Samsung Note 4 is recommended), follow prompt* I believe it's volume up to continue. Read your phone's state and see that COM field populated with your device (likely a port or device number unique to your PC where phone USB cable is connected or your phone* it only populates when you accept/commit download mode with phone and PC connected via USB with data support). Do not proceed until verifying your phone display shows Odin fast mode and that reactivation lock is disabled or inactive. If that is a go, load the img.tar in AP slot. You still see the file name fill that slot when you navigate to it on your PC and select it. The install button will be at bottom of Odin screen, I believe. Begin when all is verified.
If all above is a go, just remember that you're looking for a green field that fills and says SUCCESS! Happens quickly and stops (if you setup as directed). Wait until you see Odin log file state that "1 passed, 0 failed". Give it a minute to declare "disconnected" or just wait one minute before proceeding. Since auto reboot was unchecked, you'll have to remove USB and pull battery manually (wait at least 30 seconds after pulling battery before reinstalling). And close Odin after each flash session; you're actually done with the PC for this directive. IMPORTANT: If you fail to go directly to recovery mode after reinstalling the battery, stock recovery will restore itself and you'll have to do the Odin flash of TWRP again. To do this, press and hold volume up, home and power simultaneously until it vibrates; TWRP recovery should launch. You're now ready to backup your stock un-rooted ROM. I recommend backing up to ext SD Card (micro sdcard).
To familiar yourself with TWRP install and use, there's a support thread for that. There's also an official TWRP recovery application in Google Play. Search it there. Note the thread hasn't reflected latest update or developer notes since the official TWRP recovery app launched in Google Play but many unique questions are answered there. Ignore any suggestions to use an older TWRP version or any specific update or Android version. Suggestions like this change over time and may not be relevant at present.

After backup, I'd recommend installing SuperSU zip with TWRP recovery.

Make a rooted TWRP backup before applying Xposed and label accordingly, saving to ext sdcard. You can edit the generalized title of backup as you prefer. Rather than the extended fine stamp, shorten to include your description.
Then you can install the Xposed Installer apk (install by sideload method not recovery- you may have already done this) and Wanam unofficial Xposed zip. Follow this thread; I've already linked the zip above but usually you're looking for the highlighted download link and browse to marshmallow SDK 23 arm.

All threads referenced are your support threads for files referenced. Understand before flashing that there risks you assume yourself. Never a guarantee that you'll be successful or the inevitable happens from followed instructions offered by me or anyone else I've linked you to.
Again, make sure you haven't set reactivation lock in phone's Settings/Security tab before beginning and verify the phone display and Odin states before flashing. Not following could result in phone activating a factory reset protection mode. Not sharing to warning while flashing TWRP recovery may only refuse to flash due to reactivation lock enabled and may state such when using recent Odin releases. But that message may be only abbreviated and cause question of its intent.
Only flash when familiar and confident with instructions. Better to ask than risk misunderstood direction. There may recent demo videos to follow but avoid using suggested older files, noting date of your video; they're not necessarily scripture to live by. Best to use recent files and direction because unlike a certain BOOK, updates and time changes with Samsung, touchwiz and Note 4 development.
There's also some custom ROMs to consider if you follow the road map of XDA links for Sprint Note 4 at top of thread: Note 4 development, rather than Note 4 original development where TWRP support thread. Updates for TWRP can be found in the official TWRP recovery app but I've linked you latest recommended release for flashing in Odin.
Questions? Ask away or read the support threads to familiarize yourself. Many questions are answered there.

Final result on my SM-N910P Note 4. See screenshots.
I'm using a couple of non Xposed modules to compliment modification outside of Xposed. Since compatible modules and applications are sometimes limited, I'll include those for clarification. Both linked below by Google Play link. Strictly optional. Both contain back to kill foreground app shortcuts but may be premium only features- I'm not sure on both or whether one or the other would be ideal. I sort of discovered these apps by recommendation and haven't tried eliminating one or the other.
