Hey guys, do any of you know if we have root already for this version for Note5?
I found this the other day:
http://apk.tw/thread-706898-1-1.html
But... I don't speak Chinese and I don't know that website so I'm not risking it. Would love to get a root on my HK SM-N9200 as well.

Thanks bro. I don't think I will risk it either. There are also no comments there that confirm that it works...
At the moment I don't have a real reason to root, but i'm sure I'll need it in the future. Hopefully we will have it soon.
Good luck!

Since you have the N9200 as well, could you do me a massive favor? I'm really dissatisfied with the scrolling behavior on mine. I've made a thread about it in the General section.
Could you let me know what software version you are on? Have updated to the latest one (N9200ZHU1AOI1)? But most importantly: do you notice stuttering behaviour in scrolling through apps like Google Play store, Youtube, Facebook etc...?
You can capture the behavior by following the steps described in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/note5/general/note-5-scrolling-behaviour-t3195672.
Thanks in advance!

No problem, I'll try to get to it as soon as I get home, Going to Uni now.
Though I must say that I dont really use those apps because I live In china. If I use them I have to open Astrill VPN. I just Tried it with facebook, and it seems pretty smooth, except when it loads new content because of Chinas great firewall.
(Im also on the new version, but today I tried the "Package debloat" app from the Q&A section and disabled 150 or so apps)
So does anyone found any clue for N9200 root (OI1 firm) ???
Still no :\
@Seven Winds @tisfo @Willyman just got my device, im on it.
got twrp so far..
roots next..
then arter's kernel with dual sim intact..
Edit:
current progress and planned
unlock bootloader
install twrp
backup everything
reboot
notice GAPPS get removed when you unlock
verify my knox container still works (says KNOX has been locked contact your IT admin need to change lock type)
flash stock n9200 kernel with ',verify' removed (aka allows system to be mounted and modified, without this change a kernel cant boot a rooted system)
reboot and verify knox container still works (same message)
flash gapps reboot and verify
flashing back gapps didnt restore everything i was missing (looked like every app i downloaded from play store was also removed), so i reflashed the stock system i pulled out of odin tarball
restoring data
Damn im glad I backedup everything as soon as I got recovery, first boot after unlocked BTloader, it was next reboot that it deleted all my data ( so after reinstalling stock system and restoring my data, everything is back to how it was)
*** im here ***
twrp su root
reboot and verify knox container still works
flash arter kernel that I merged n9200 sources for dual sim support
reboot and test
(ii know knox wont work with any other customer kernel (i really want knox workspace with custom roms and plan on making it work)
Thank you gundal for your hard work!
I am using n9200 HK version. And I rooted my note 5 already!
Thanks for my friend in China, he helped me a lot and everything works fine.
I also installed xposed framework in my note 5.
Can you please share links to the files you've used? I tried to install twrp via Odin and I'm getting error RQT_Close and the phone writes something in chinese in the download mode.
Any customer ROM for dual sim yet?

I always use Samsung stock rom only and the root file worked for my note 5.
Have you ever unlocked CRom of your note 5 before?
No I didn't. How do I do that?

You now can see a lot of replies of that website, and these replies were all from the same person, that was me.
I also got his contact by other chat app. And now I have a perfect root file for n9200 now!
Do you want to try it?

Hi guys, first time poster here, I was on this thread
Code:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/note5/development/dev-pre-root-firmware-twrp-testing-t3183877
and it said on it that the model SM-N920W8 was supported for the spaceX kernel.
Once I clicked on this link
Code:
http://samfirm.net/post/129813196562/spacex-kernel-note5-s6e-plus
I dont see the SM-N920W8 model in the list of Supported devices status, unless he forgot to put it I don't see it and I doubt its the SM-N9208 cuz this one is a dual I think.
So did someone actually use it for SM-N920W8 and it worked with no issues? Mine is the rogers version in Canada.
thnx

Hi and welcome,
If you follow the download link for "all N920", pretty sure that's the file you need:
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=39339
SpaceX-Kernel-v0.1_N920W8(official).tar.md5 ; should be flashed with Odin.
Also, remember that this root method will trip the Knox flag permanently (Void warranty).
EDIT: I actually did not tested it. Someone else could confirm, although I feel quite confident.
While I can verify the above kernel works on my W8 (Rogers), I cannot seem to shake the issue of random reboots.. At least once a day the phone will reboot on its own, and almost every phone call, the phone will reboot a couple of minutes in.
I love having a rooted device but the compromise of stability is making me consider going back to factory stock... Using the 0.1, 0.2, and noble kernels have all yielded the same symptoms. Anyone have a suggestion?

Well thnx for the heads-up... I thought that the spaceX was supposed to fix the random reboots..guess not. I will be waiting then for a stable Kernel.
@Manh_IT did release a fix for Canadian Samsung Galaxy Note 5 SM- N920W8 I just rooted and even installed CWM not one issue here
The random reboot fix is an image file 920T/W8 released October 09, 2015
Dl boot.img and flash it via CWM or TWRP
Hello where did you get the kernel to root the note 5 canadian version or how do you do it thank you
I've been told my SkyHigh SM-N920T kernel works with SM-N920W8. You can find it on the T-Mobile Note 5 original android development forum.
Please give us a link of those files!
Hi there, since you have no random reboot issue at all can you please give us the link of the files. And, that would be great if you could guide us the step by step procedure. Thanks in advance

Seriously? I learned reading and not asking step by step instructions. Come on man. Do some research.
Alright no instructions needed. Like others I have tried all the kernels for note 5 and found random reboot issues. You are saying you have no issue with that whatsoever. That's why can you please give me the link of those files?

I don't know what version you have, I got the N920W8... Here is what I did, hope that helps.
*NOTE* N920TW8 is the N920W8 version combined with N920T version. They are basically identical. Just in case you were wondering where the N920W8 is since you will only find N920TW8 in the list, go here

grab that file above and flash it with philZ recovery (that's what I did)
you can grab philZ from the same link of the kernel, either the MD5 if you are using odin or the zip if you will flash.
and that's it! I had no issues on my phone at all, I installed WANAM's xposed and all is good.
Thanks for your help
I'll definitely do this. I use N920W8 with telus.
Thanks so much

Since the Kernel is a zip file, you can't install it with Odin. You have to use twrp.

Thanks

If not too much has changed from the Note 4 to the Note 5 you can do it. It will void your warranty and may or may not totally brick your phone.
Google how to unpack and repack firmware. Do a lot of reading because you alone are responsible if you wind up bricking your device.
Thanks but please do let me know where i should start reading.

ok so i used a root and installed google play services. All well there.
Also google contact sync was not working so i used sync adapter and i can see google contacts in phone.
Now one problem has started since google sync started:-
If i open a contact to view it and then close it, a message thread is added for that contact in message application. Although its empty.
It is not really a problem but an annoyance.
Let me know if someone can provide a solution.

Any old unlocked phones? DeviceManagement if so pm me about them. Im stuck on metro. Not sure for how much longer though. And I don't know why they insist on locking us out of OUR phones. It is a pain, such a pain. And the reason i even got this phone is to fix my service issues. However they are just as bad.

This will trip knox and void your warranty you have been warned. Feel free to test the device with the corresponding file. it may work it may not. if it does not work it will say secure check fail and prevent you from booting into android or recovery. if that is the case use the stock rom file for your phone to fix it. I will compile a quick fix that will not delete all your apps in a little bit. after that i will post the files you can use so you can recover from a brick.

The bootloader is probably unlocked on that model. Apparently all international bootloaders are unlocked for Samsung.

i am not totally sure that its unlocked. our device has a exynos chipset and for some reason it is locked. but i am starting to think that samsung messed up some code so even if your flashing something knox wont trip for some reason. but if anyone has the money feel free to test the international version that will be the only way to know for sure.

Was the file you posted, any progress, or are you just snooping around?
Hi guys quick question I know there's a similar thread but there was no real answers to it so here goes. I've currently got a N950N KT branded note 8 that I'm using here in the UK. I got it imported as I really wanted the deep blue sea colour. Is there anyway I can install an n950F rom on this phone to remove kt branded boot logos and apps etc. Also so i can use samsung pay here too. If so can someone point me in the right direction to tell me how to do so ?
Thank you.

flash twrp follow the instructions, flash rom (950f works fine) then good to go
@masri1987
Any particular 950F rom? and which instructions?
I manually debranded mine but it took a bit of work.
If there's an easier way without having to use a custom ROM, I'm game to try again.

Thanks,
I already managed to get TWRP installed a week back and am using Magisk but by 'simple rom', what exactly are you referring to? A bit lost.

I remember reading on another thread that installing a n950f rom on a n950n could brick the phone. You sure it's possible to do ? So can I just download a n950f rom off sammobile ? Never used twrp myself.
@raees93
What @masri1987 is referring to is the ability to flash a custom ROM through TWRP. That should be fine.

Whoever said that was mistaken, they are literally the exact same hardware.
Odin won't let you flash OEM firmware from different versions, out of the box at least - so that might have been what that person was thinking of.
You can, however, very easily flash ROMs with TWRP and this works just fine between the N and F variants.
