The At&t 920A note 5 can not be rooted. Locked bootloader panic kernel = No go for root....

So which Note 5 model is the one to buy and will work on AT&T LTE?

[Q] Custom Recovery?

I was glad to see the Root posted, has anyone seen anything on a custom recovery, such as Clockwork Mod or (preferably TWRP)?

I didn't know ROOT was available until I saw your post - I checked out Chainfire's CF Autoroot thread and found that he did indeed post a download for the TMOBILE NOTE 4 - you will find more information here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-4/orig-development/sm-n910-cf-auto-root-t2897428

Where did you see ROOT posted? I looked thru TMOBILE Threads and didnt see any ROOT Instructions - Are you talking for the Tmobile Note 4 or the International Version?

I don't think I want to root my phone just yet seeing that it would void the warranty I'll wait until a root that does mess with the kNOX comes out

I really wanted to hold out too. But I just cant anymore. especially with all the great developers getting on this device. I know the Custom ROM support will be great and it helps to really debloat the device. Anyway I wont be going without any protection. Im getting the Note 4 and then i will purchase SquareTrade's $100 for 2 years Insurance in case anything goes wrong. I still haven't voided Knox on my Dad's S5 or my Note Pro 12.2 because I'm so paranoid.

You may find yourself waiting a very long time.
someone might want to post over at the TWRP website, and see what files they need to get a TWRP going for this phone.

I looked for the right place to "volunteer" to help supply this information, but I don't see any place to post over on the TWRP web site and I don't see a general thread in XDA for TRWP (they all seem to be phone specific and I don't want to hijack them). Can you please point me out a link?
http://webchat.freenode.net/?channels=twrp someone that knows what there doing (adb, terminal) hop on irc and ask away. That's what I did when I got the note 3
Sent from my bad ass Kryon infused TWEAKED..Note 3

They were kind enough to point me to http://rootzwiki.com/topic/23903-how-to-compile-twrp-from-source/ I think it will take me a while to figure out how to compile this.
I am working with someone there that is going to try to build TWRP tonight if I can get him the captures he needs.
Lol I guess @bigbiff isn't getting the note 4

I just can't seem to understand why this phone does not have root and recovery and kernels and all of the major Roms yet. It has been in peoples hands less then 24 hours. What is taking so long. Lmao

I think its because the note 5 specs and photos have leaked out already, so people are already moving on from the "old" note 4

Samsung will not unlock your bootloader and from what I understand you could not load an international ROM anyways because of the way the partition is laid out differently between the phones. Who knows though, I could be wrong.

Have you tried the "T-Mobile" Development section?!
Believe it or not the Canadian Variant Note 5 is exactly like the T-Mo one!
You'll be able to find Note 7 Roms that have been ported for Note 5.
Good luck.

Thanks @samteeee: have you tried those Roms. I haven't done this in a long time, so I just don't want to brick my phone by flashing a TMO Rom on my Canadian Note 5.

Well, anytime you attempt to flash a rom, you're risking a possibility of something to go wrong,
more on Samsung smartphones than any others! Yet we all do it! So you gotta be a little brave,
but if you find a step by step "how to" and there are many in this community, you'll be alright.
You can try DARTHSTALKER or Express. Nemesis Rom is pretty good too.
Good luck.

Help please... need rooted 9600 file to get US 960U rooted. Please!

Please help us
"If we could get someone with the snapdragon 9600 version to do a dump of boot/oem/vendor/system (possiblt TOS) partitions images I could help a bit. Would love to dig into the bootloader side of things. I found quite a few hidden commands on the pixel 2 when I was still using it."
