Hello guys and gals!!
Is theres any way to remove the annoying ATT&T Boot Animation/Logo? I hate it so much!
I'm with you there. I took back a note 4 just because of that. I believe there is a spot that Motorola has for vendors to put in their own boot animation. I remember there was a post for it on the general Nexus 6 area, but not 100% on that, maybe in the AT&T Nexus 6 thread. It would be a great place to start searching though.

Thanks:good:
Not sure how to post in the proper thread perhaps a mod could move this post to the peoper one?
Hi this will be my first post. I am seeking guidance to properly root my note 5. After researching this seems to be the most knowledgeable forum but cant find a kernel that works!
First let me explain my situation then I will list all phone specs that i think are necessary.
Im in Canada and was with Bell previously on contract. I had a note 3 which I rooted easily with kingo software. The phone is in great shape still thanks to my otterbox after 2 years. My work offers corporate plans through Roger's so after my Bell contract ended I switched to Rogers corporate plan with the note 5 on a 2 year term. I got the new phone because I was signing up for a new contract and wanted a cheap phone out of the deal. Now that my note 5 isnt rooting properly Im considering sending it back continuing with my corporate plan on my note 3 which works great. The note 5 is awesome so far but if rooting doesnt succeed want my note 3. Rogers gave me a 14 day no questions asked return policy grace period to decide which i have 12 days left. Lastly I purchased a returnable otterbox but a non refundable gorilla glass which has already been installed to on my phone. Just another factor to consider when making this desision as the gorilla glass will be a loss. Id love to keep my note 5 and note 3 as a backup if I get it rooted properly.
Now onto problems Ive had after rooting.. depends on the kernel. Ive had issues mostly with my calls resulting in my note 5 restarting or silence when making calls. One kernel I used froze my phone in the recovery mode screen.. guessing the kernel was invalid.. I have superSu I dont know what Im doing wrong. Im using odin and loading it into the 2nd line i think its under AP. Oh I did the developer option thing already.. oh and I installed proper drivers to my PC twice to make sure.
Lastly heres all the info to hopefully find me the right kernel specific for me.
Samsung note 5
SM-N920W8
With Rogers in Canada
Android version 5.1.1 (Lollipop)
Current kernel Noble kernel v0.1 (most stable but resetting phone during calls)
If there any other info you need to provide me with the right kernel just let me know what you info you require.
I hope to find out within the 14 days if I can keep this phone or not. Realllllly apreciate the help in advance. Bill.
Nobody has any info? Becoming very frustrating
+1 for a friendly bump
I am in the same position as you and recently upgraded to Note 5 as well from Note 3. Honestly, Note 3 with root is by far my favourite phone of all time. I have been reading up on n920w8 threads too and haven't had much luck so hopefully someone more knowledgeable can chime in.
The one thing that is keeping me from rooting is the fact that others have reported that Samsung/Google Pay won't work after.
btw... have you not tripped knox on our phone yet by flashing one of the kernels?
Yeah the note 3 was great ran smooth loved the os the root ran smooth never had any issues. The note 5 just looks and feels newer but its so unstable I lost calls today dling my taxes then speaking to my lawyer.. I have no landline so Im basically out of a phone right now kind of panicking I need to have a phone but I dont know if I can return it now? Its still within the 14 day grace period can I factory reset and return and stay on the plan the my.note 3? I need to figure something out quick.. I would keep this phone if the root worked but honestly I can go back to the note 3 I can unlock from Bell to Rogers for free right since its rooted?
I can't find any sign of knox on my phone since the root thing wont find it in s finder or anywhere so Im assuming it tripped. Honestly I never used knox on my note 3 either because it was void what does it do? Oh and Google play works fine though..
Im all for keeping the note 5 IF I can get it rooted properly I cant constantly lose calls like this.. Is there anyone out there that has a working kernel or should I attempt to return it? I have like 6 days left..
I was reading that the skyhigh kernel for tmobile is supposed to work. Already have it flashed. Can anyone confirm if this is the right one for Rogers note 5 SM-920W8
So, I just purchased this because I couldn't wait a year to get a new phone to get the Consumer Version.
I got a good deal on it, however.
My questions are pretty simple, but I am having a difficult time searching for white/black answers, so I'm hoping you fine people here at XDA can help..
What are the differences between the Innovator Edition & the Consumer Edition?
The other question I have is, what are the software limitations for the version I have for my Note 4 and the new version for the Note 5? Will I have everything in the app store that they will, etc? Or am I going to be missing a bunch of stuff?
Really mainly concerned about the software aspect of things.. My phone is not rooted and I don't plan to, but will if necessary.
Any info at all would be appreciated to get me prepared while I wait for it to arrive at my house next week
Thanks!

hey, so i just got this recently aswell for my note 4. i cant see myself upgrading to a new phone anytime soon, loving the note 4, so i decided to get one. i had some of the same questions as you, so i found this which kind of helped. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MDkj3SrQFXE
and from what im seeing, we have access to all the same apps from samsung and oculus.
my phone is rooted, and im figuring out how to use the google cardboard stuff with our gear vrs. need to disable some permissions and then turn them back on when not using google cardboard. not sure if you need root for that, maybe do. rooting gives u more options to play around and, knock on wood, ive never ran into any issues where i needed to unroot and send back to the manufacturer.
I have recently purchased a Samsung Galaxy Note 4 off of Swappa, but when I received it, it had the damned ddi: mmc read error problem that I have read up on and found is a hardware issue. My question is if anyone know a place to buy this phone that is new or at least refurbished by Samsung. Preferably the T-Mobile Carrier version because I want to keep an unlocked bootloader. Especially looking for people who ran into the same issue and were able to find a seller with a phone that didn't have aforementioned problems. I am just really unsure about places as I really want to have the Note 4, best Samsung device IMO, and hoping someone can help.
If Gazelle sells them, I would trust them. I'm just about to send my Note 4 back to tmobile for trade in. Not sure exactly what happens to those phones. My 4 is on excellent condition so they shouldn't have to do too much.. excepting I of course tripped Knox. Not sure what they do about that.

I know for a fact that tmobile sells refurbished note 4's for 400 bones
Should be a ton of them out there somewhere, along with spare parts, considering n5 was never released in Europe.

Hi I purchased last week from swappa. So far no problems and it includes a 30 day money back guarantee... Check out the seller MyteCell LLC. If they have any problem they will let you know. Response is very quick. Hope this helps

There are at least two T-Mobile stores in the Atlanta area selling what they say are NEW Note 4s, one had them on display, the other said they had them in the back, but they weren't on display. Call a few in your area and ask.
I would only by one recertification with a warranty!

I just bought a T-Mobile version (they're Unlocked) with 32GB Internal Storage for about $300 Refurbed and it arrived like brand new. I got it on Amazon. I can provide you with a link if you'd like.

If you don't mind sending me a link, I'd like to check that out. By the way, was it packaged in original box or aftermarket? If not, it doesn't bother me, just curious.

I said that I sent you a PM (Private Message) with it (the link).
They usually don't like links to things like that right in the forum, so I PM'ed it. Go take a look at it.

Oh, wait, my bad, different person. Okay, I'm PMing it now.
Sorry!
I'm buying a note 4 today and its for sprint but its unlocked. I'm on Tmobile .
When I root and ROM it does the ROM need to be sprint ROMs or can it be Tmobile ROMs ? Or can I flash any ROM since its unlocked?
Ok I've had the worst bit of luck for digging into rooting and went in with out looking and that's how I learn the best but open for more knowledge. The Sprint Note 5 I rooted about a year and a half or so ago and had it since the first few weeks that it hit the shelf but didn't realize that phone was so difficult to work with and figured that out with the nougat update. But that's fine learned alot but the Ironman rom that has been taunting me ever since I seen it. Lol has any one get it to actually work on the SM-N920P Sprint Note 5 like every one likes to claim it works one every note 5? I've been trying every lead and read everything I've came across. The phone works like a champ and mainly use it for a back up and games and no matter what I put it through it still will not die. So thanks if you do have a option or point me the right direction but if not all good just figured I would ask any ways. Merry Christmas.
