Rooting a stock Note 4 - T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello, it's been a while since I've rooted a phone and have never done it on this one. It has been stock up till now so what do I need to do?
Is there a video with the process somewhere? Also would like to have recovery and baseband ready for intalling ROMs.
Thank you for any help.
Android version 6.0.1
Kernel 3.10.40-9385989
KNOX 2.6
ODIN MODE (HIGH SPEED)
PRODUCT NAME: SM-910T
CURRENT BINARY: Samsung Official
SYSTEM STATUS: Official
REACTIVATION LOCK: OFF
KNOX WARRANTY VOID: 0X0
QUALCOM SECUREBOOT: ENABLE (CSB)
RP SWREV: S1, T1, R1, A2, P1
SECURE DOWNLOAD: ENABLE
UDC START

Also should I update first?

OK so I got impatient waiting for an answer and used the root guide sticky in the Note 4 General section for the N910T except I updated a couple things. Samsung USB drivers installed: v1.5.63.0 and used Odin3 v3.12.3 to install the cf-auto-root file (latest from site) and then installed recovery TWRP 3.1.1
I think I'm going to stop now to backup things with titanium backup, then update to latest ROM+baseband. Hopefully can find it. Not fond of the search on this site.

Use this to download your stock firmware. Samfirm. Don't use the website they post. Use the deprecated software. Scroll down and read directions and download software.
Type in your model and csc. Click 'auto', 'check crc', 'decrypt '. Then start. It'll download your firmware.

2. Once you update and setup phone. Then install twrp 1st. Use it to make a backup of at least your EFS and modem. Or a complete backup. Keep it for safe keeping.
3. Then root your phone from within twrp with supersu zip. From here.

Thanks for the detailed explanation. Just one question though.. When you say 'Type in your model and csc', did you mean 'Model and Region'? Thanks again.

curious, why would you root SM-N910T using this method instead of using CF-Autoroot ?

Would anyone care to help a new galaxy note 4 owner get his phone rooted.

I already mentioned Odin and the I tried 30.7 and the previous versions
no, Odin is a tool for flashing files to your phone.
What are you flashing?
Use this method as it's pain free.
Why use this Root Method? Well the main reasons are:
- You have a complete Odin Flashable ROM Package.
- No Insecure Kernels are used or required.
- You can flash these packages on Non-Rooted devices
- The Binary Flash Counter will NOT increase when flashing these ROM Packages.
- The Red Exclamation Mark will NOT appear at boot up.
- And finally, you only have to flash one file in Odin and you have a complete firmware including Root Permissions.
What Root Package is used in these ROMs?
- Busybox 1.20.2 (Newer ROMs)
- SuperSU 0.99 (Newer ROMs)
Previously released ROMs may have an older Busybox and SuperSU package installed.

Has anyone successfully flashed this gdrive firmware?
I tried it twice on my BTU 910F, and twice it failed near the end.
Any remedy?
Yes I've flashed it fine. You will more than likely need to flash a pit file to repartition your phone in line with the content/partition sizes of this particular firmware. It isn't really uncommon.
I've noticed the forum is swamped with similar posts of similar problems so have a search. I read this morning that someone had posted a tutorial on how to get around this.
sent from my Galaxy Note 4
Link
How frustrating, I have a working link but can't paste it as I haven't reached 10 posts.
I'll say that I went to stackoverflow and searched for "google drive limit number of download", which has a solution to re-present the original firmware download url in a way that can be downloaded
Sorry I can't just paste the links, but I understand why

How to solve the problem rooting not possible?
not working anymore, try mega links
Download Link
Updated link on first post, sorry...
Works perfectly. I had to retar the archive as explained in other threads by removing hidden.img and cache.img, since I had the infamous "too big" error message. After few hours of trials, everything seems fine and indeed the UX is significantly smoother. I have a 910F model.
In English then.... How can I download it?
There's no working link to it, anywhere I can find!?

awesome - so just a standard odin flash yeah? I've only ever had the problem of the "not enough space" message when I tried going backwards to a uk EE version of 5.01. This is a standard unlocked version? There's people talking about it being 3 software?

is ROOT(ing) possible without re-install the whole phone?

Hi,
Is ROOT(ing) possible without re-install the whole phone?
Information and links are welcome
Use kingroot, its on xda.
Then use super sume to remove the Chinese elements and replace with SuperSU.
Thanks for you suggestion!
Unfortunately it does not work on my (SM-G800F) Phone even it is listed as a supported device.
Also no luck with the KingRoot v3.0 Desktop version.
Anyone have the knowledge for rooting this phone whithout re-install everithing on it?
Sorry I too have an 800F and its worked a great for me.
I used version 4.5 of kingroot

The file you mention is normaly for the smg900h (S5) but I have the smg800f (S5 mini).

If we use @Chainfire methode to root our device, do we need to re-install all our apps as it would on a new clean install or wil all our apps still be there after a re-boot ?
No you will NOT loose any data.

So sorry for the late reply. No the chainfire method does not wipe any data or applications. Just flash the file and it will root and do everything itself. Hench the name "autoroot."
Thanks for making this clear!
Okay, so we need to use ODIN v3.xx and put the phone in download mode by pressing Vol-Down + Home + Power button till it comes into recovery mode, having ODIN already running with administrator rights and than plug-in the micro-usb cable.
I guess we need to use PDA button to load the file, do we have to tick other options as well ?
Thanks for the help !!!!

Hi, I'm a little bit confused here. Are we talking about the same context, i.e., an SM-G800[x] running Android 5.1.1? The landing page of the official repository states explicitly that "CF-AUTO-ROOT IS CURRENTLY NOT OPERATIONAL FOR ANDROID 6.0+, OR SAMSUNG ON ANDROID 5.1+".
Besides that, the download page doesn't list Lollipop versions, only 4.4.x.
Cheers
@RGold55
Yes there is only 4.4.2 supported
Read the obove text line: CF-Auto-Root Repository
CF-AUTO-ROOT IS CURRENTLY NOT OPERATIONAL FOR ANDROID 6.0+, OR SAMSUNG ON ANDROID 5.1+

So you did ok by rooting your G800 KK Android, as I did to mine last year, with that very same flashable. But, alas, CF-Autoroot for Lollipop is still in the dream stage.

First of all: which model Tab S2 do you have? You need the the recovery that matches you Tab model. I also used the latest SuperSU beta, link
http://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/supersu/2014-09-02-supersu-v2-05-t2868133
1. I first flashed MM 6.0.1 using Odin, the I booted.
2. Flashed TWRP (latest) via Odin.
3. Booted into recovery and flashed SuperSU and Xposed. Everything seems to work fine.

Thank you for your reply, but I already sorted it out. I flashed the CF autoroot from this link https://autoroot.chainfire.eu/ and it works perfectly. No need to flash twrp.
Sorry to resurrect this but since this thread largely answers me I just had one question.
Autoroot's website says :
UNLOCK BOOTLOADERS
If you have locked bootloaders, flashing one of these will probably brick your device
I have the SM-T710 running stock OTA 6.0.1. Website says brick if bootloader is locked. Just trying to clarify if I can run Autoroot or not. Having lost a PC this week I don't want to add a tablet to the graveyard.
You'll be fine.

Ah, ic.
Still cannot root my phone even with other rooting tools (not try furious gold chimera yet, doesn't have it). But thanks for you @diart & @zogu anyway. you two give us hope that there's any possibility to root our AT&T S6 Edge phone.
Can someone tell me how to do it, please?
Boot image from first post is engineering boot image and it should works with all 6.0 firmwares.
I'm new to samsung, but i read that with this image is possible to remount system rw. Well on AT&T is impossible.
It is impossible to root phone with this image, but we can do a lot of useful things using adb, disable aps with pm disable, we have full access to data partition, making backups etc...
Actually i don't need root at all, i hate branding (specially if that includes some services, like at&t mail, phonebook...) on any device and i want to change firmware to some international.
All this is maybe possible with eng sboot. There is online available for 12 usd and this is not expensive, but i'm still not shure will i be able to change sboot to 925f.
Theoretically it should boot any kernel and recovery without even tripping knox, and maybe with this image is possible to install twrp, kernel, root and everything else. But also sometimes everything does not work (i read that with eng sboot fingerprint sensor does not work, it probably skip keys reading, without keys no fingerprint).
If someone is able to get sboot pj1 or pf1, please send me PM
P.S. One good thing with this eng boot is that my network selection menu has much more bands, even when i restored stock kernel. Don;t konow how, but it is there

my friend im flashing this file but odin md5 error binary is invalid ? how to fix ?
Just rename from md5 to tar. File name should be sm-g925a_uca_601.tar, flash it using odin (AP) and that's it.
