Another tip: If you're having problems with adb, like it's saying offline when running it in the command prompt, it could be that you need a newer version. I used "Minimal ADB and Fastboot" which worked. It's much easier, you just install it and then open it. It automatically opens a command prompt and you can then type "adb devices". IMPORTANT! If you do this method make sure you place the "samsung_unlock_n4_fix" in the program file "Minimal ADB and Fastboot" is located in. Otherwise you won't be able to successfully push it when in the command prompt (the part in the video at around 7:00). Sorry if I'm blowing up the comments but no one else seems to be helping here so I'm posting comments as I hit problems and posting the solutions I discover. Hopefully this will help others out if they have the same issue.
This was amazing to learn! My Note4 SM-910V verizon model w/Marshmallow 6.0.1 resisted rooting for days, then I downgraded to Lollipop 5.1.1 and followed this tutorial with its files and prog versions, and it went almost perfectly. Root Detector kept telling me I wasnt rooted after KingRoot said it succeeded so I ignored it and proceded to the DOS section where I got the SU prompts the video confirmed was "a good thing indicating success so far". Only two runs thru the video and my Note 4 is rooted and running root-only scripts in the amazing app Tasker. I am very, very happy, but I have to echo the requests of your other commentors: Please build a Marshmallow 6.0.1 guide and files bundle that works as reliably as this!
The one stop I never saw in the discription was the 'no auto reboot' then the button combo......I must say, I watched this on my desktop w/o speakers and got it done! SICK
Had to take 6.0.1 back to 5.1.1 to do this, but this method still works. Got stuck on a boot loop after all was done but thankfully someone posted the kernel needed for 5.1.1 in the comments here and it worked. Used King Root, kept trying for about an hour and it finally worked. I think it worked when I was connected to wall charger not computer, then once rooted plugged into computer to run abd commands.
thank you! it worked for me. telling us that we have to do it 2 times and then seeing it crash helped me to just keep going. i did it 5 times, but it worked. thanks!
I can't temp root with King Root anymore; it just reboots after 55% or less. I used to use it all the time and in fact it was working a month ago. I don't understand what changed I didn't update firmware. Does anyone know what I can do? I see I'm not the only one with this issue.
For those of you having trouble with kingroot getting stuck at 53% - xx% and/or failing to root, give kingoroot a try. I've been trying for almost a week now just to get past the root step. Kingroot failed every time (desktop version, multiple app versions, etc.), but kingoroot worked THE FIRST TIME I pressed the button. I hope others have the same success with this. Big thanks to rootjunky, as always, for the great tutorials.
+Christopher Jackson Give it a few more times. If root checker doesn't ever show it green, run the adb lines of code anyway. If the "su" line of code is successful, then it doesn't matter what the check tool shows. SU is what you need anyway. For further guidance (and an in depth tutorial) head over to Max Lee's channel and watch his latest video on note 4 rooting.
Thanks for your Help man, I ended up having to factory reset my phone and work from a clean slate and use kingoroot windows app, after that worked like a charm. thanks again
I've actually got a Note 4 coming next week I bought from eBay factory refurbished. I'm worried about the CID # not being 15 and it being updated to 6.0.1. How many Note 4 Verizon phone CID #'s start with 15? Very few?
When i'm entering the code in CMD and get to where i have to type Yes i do and it tells me this every time i try it [-] this is for (some) Samsung devices onlly [-] it WILL kill other devices. go back to google I'm on a Verizon Retail Note 4 running 4.4.4 with the CID starting with 15
try updating to 5.1.1 with odin. You can get the firmware here: forum.xda-developers.com/note-4-verizon/development/firmware-firmware-kernel-modem-recovery-t2942937
I think you forgot to mention to flash the custom kernel located on the original post, I was in a boot loop for the longest time, I got scared lol, then I went to check out the original post on the xda developers website and I read that that's an important part of the process to prevent boot loops. Other then that this video tutorial was great and I really appreciate you for making it.
+ImTechFreak You are correct. I got everything complete, booted up, all excited went into TWRP to flash the supersu zip. After flashing it i got stuck in a boot loop. Flashing a kernel fixed it for me.
Tip: If your experience is anything like mine *YOUR PHONE WILL RESTART MANY TIMES!* I used the newest version of KingRoot (version 4.9.6 as of 09-02-2016). My phone restarted 6 times in the middle of KingRoot. I would then have to open the app again and it would continue where it left off. I finally got root but then the phone didn't work right and after restarting it, it froze on the Verizon boot screen. So I pulled the battery which made me lose root once it restarted. Finally after that I ran KingRoot AGAIN and it ran smooth, rooting the phone in one shot. So basically don't get scared if you have restarts. In the new version of KingRoot it even tells you this might happen on the bottom of the screen. Worse comes to worse you can always pull the battery and your phone will revert back to the way it was before you ran KingRoot. *EDIT:* After getting frustrated on my second root I used *King O Root* instead and it worked the first time.
the app I use I believe it's the kingroot v3.3 or something so when it's done and u go to rootchecker a window will pop up, it's a kingroot superuser request. Hit allow and I have temparary root access. I just not fast enough to copy and paste all the commands. So frustrating.
Hey root junky, awesome vid, thanks for putting this up! The TWRP image you and the XDA thread point to does not support data decryption from inside TWR (confirmed with 'adb shell twrp decrypt PASS'). Without decryption I cannot make a Nandroid backup or flash SuperSU. I have tried downloading TWRP 3.0.2-0 from TeamWin's site and TAR'd to load into Odin, but Odin crashes when the file is loaded. Would you happen to have tested this or know why Odin is crashing? I can only find links to TAR'd versions of 2.8.5.0 and 2.8.7.0...
I get to the part where I root and then type 'su' in the adb command line. On the output from that I don't get anything other than a little cursor mark '_' below it. Any idea what could be going wrong? Thanks!
Dont know about 6.0.1 but you can flashback to 5.1.1 with Odin. Firmware links and instructions are here: forum.xda-developers.com/note-4-verizon/development/firmware-firmware-kernel-modem-recovery-t2942937
I have to do this.. I still have note 4 which I wanna still use as a spare from my note 8, it's been having that random reboot on its Marshmallow OS and even trying wake lock didn't work, event contacted the developer who's said they couldn't figure it out why it didn't work. So I hope reverting to Lollipop will fix it.
would it be the same type of process for a note edge? want to do this so I can get a cool rom that makes the separate edge display to become flush with the normal screen.
Many thanks to Rootjunky for the video and a one stop shop for all the downloads. I also want to thank Toly M. for the kernel link and information on flashing it. Thanks to you and many others I have a fully rooted Note 4.
Thank you. Now I know it can be done. Maybe it's something with my system settings. I will try a factory reset. I was hoping for it not to come to that.
My device keeps rebooting at about 50%-53% and kingroot keeps starting over. This goes on for about 45 minutes until it tells me that it cannot root my device. I am running 5.1.1 (N910VVRU2BPA1).
Hi Sir, can I flash stock firmware from 910F European version (GSM) after just unlocking bootloader directly on 910V (CDMA) or I need to flash TWRP before. Because I don't use VZW sim and want to get rid of there services or apps. And please tell is there any way to unlock on 6.0.1. thanks
hey, so awhile back you posted a video of you bypassing Google frp for android Samsung.. so I did it kinda, i did it on a Alcatel one touch and when I get to the camera I go settings& it says at the end reset to factory setting & I press it nothing happens.... I try to get to settings any other type way but nothing happens..... so I was wondering if you can help out with that..?? please I would appreciate it... & if u recommend anything.... anyone! can help!
my sm-nv910 note 4 will not root, tried kingroot, and kingoroot, there is another rooting method or program that you know of, another thing that could be of interest is that my phone is running Android 6.0.1 September 1,2016 and I lost control of my Sim Card, in other words can get to it
quick question, I know the t-mobile version is already unlocked from the get go but does doing this on the Verizon note 4 offer anything more? or just the samething as the t-mobile stock unlocked bootloader
I have Verizon note 4 and it's unlocked. But I cannot update the software. Every time I try to do it , it says service temporarily unavailable . I'm running on 5.0.1. Little help please . Thanks.
This guy is golden. I asked him not too long ago about a root exploit for my Verizon Note 4. 2-3 weeks later, he comes out with the exploit. Apparently, the bounty put up some huge profit. One question rootjunky. After rooting could you give a list of system apps and bloatware to freeze? I've already got my ROM Toolbox Pro rip, raring and ready to go!
+Rootjunky.com ok, I've repeated this process several times, deleted files from my computer, redownloaded the downloads, extracted to a folder on my desktop. I keep getting stuck at "su not found" in the command line interface
Does anyone know if there is a way you can flash SuperSu using TWRP(or any other method of flashing) on stock ROM and not get a bootloop afterwards? I'd prefer not to install a custom ROM as when I installed cm13 on the note 4 I got sound quality issues on certain apps.
+Jacob Andrews NEVER allow TWRP to auto install SuperSU when it asks you! After you install TWRP via ODIN, reboot into recovery, THEN you can install SuperSU manually via TWRP.
+Glen “HomesByGlen” Orrell Thanks for the help! Unfortunately, I am still experiencing bootloops after flashing SuperSu even if I don't allow TWRP to auto install SuperSu. I flashed stock firmware via ODIN and re installed TWRP on my device but wasn't able to successfully flash SuperSu. Maybe I'm rooting the wrong version of SuperSu? I tried V.2.46 and restored a TWRP backup of the system then tried V.2.65 and both caused bootloops.
Glen Orrell Currently no as I just flashed stock firmware again but I could easily reinstall TWRP and unlock my bootloader if you have an idea. Again, thanks for the help!
+Jacob Andrews In case you were not informed, you need to load a custom kernel as well. You can do it in twrp. I'm currently using MultiSystem-Kernel_LP-5.1.1; I could not get Emotion kernel to load in twrp. Once I finished all that, I wiped the Dalvick Cache and Cache only. Then powered down using twrp. Then pulled batt. and sdcard. Re-install batt with no sdcard and let it boot up all the way into VZW stock rom. It will take a while to boot up first time...
after version logo its reboots again , ive tried factory reset but it still does it can ya help? update: got odin system file from hioffandroid and got it going :)
every thing is fine but when i try to flash super su update with twrp goes fine but when reboot starts on a boot loop and i need to put the stock firm again with odin any ideas??
In cmd my device is offline. What do I need to do to get online? I installed drivers. Is there some in my phone I need to check off? I have usb debugging checked and all, is there something else? Please help.
i had to do this 4 times if finally worked, thanks for the helpful video also now how do i get super su, because when i try to flash it goes to a bootloop help
+Rootjunky.com they said we converted retail version to developer edition and developer edition have some ROM. but when you re-install or factory reset it again locked again boot-loader , I think that is primary issue
Things to do BEFORE you use KingRoot *IMPORTANT*: 1) BACK UP ALL FILES ON SD CARD TO PC! a) Simply connect your device to your computer b) Make sure the Note 4 is set for media transfer, the option will be in the drop down from the top of the phone once usb is connected. c) Copy over files from S card (and phone if you want) to a folder on your PC just like you would with any USB stick 2) FORMAT SD CARD. *AFTER* backing up the card you will have to format the card through the phone in the settings under storage > SD Card > Format SD CARD 3) Make sure you are running android version 5.1.1. If you are not here is a link with all firmware versions and instructions on how to up/downgrade firmware : forum.xda-developers.com/note-4-verizon/development/firmware-firmware-kernel-modem-recovery-t2942937 Here is a TH-cam video also showing you how to change your firmware using Odin: th-cam.com/video/2unAeVRqjoQ/w-d-xo.html 4) Download *NEWEST VERSIONS* of all files from this video. Best way to do this is do a google search for the file follwed by "XDA". i.e. "KingRoot xda". This will bring you to the xda forum to make sure you get authentic, verified and current versions of the files listed in the vid (many of them have been update since this vid was posted). 5) Make sure to download "eMMc Brick checker" from play store. Run it and make sure the phone CID starts with a "15". If it doesn't *STOP HERE!* 6) Download "Root Checker" to check if root was successful after rooting. 7) Also make sure "Developer" Mode is open and USB debugging is enabled. You can turn it on by going to: Settings > About Phone > then click on "Build Number" ten (10) times to unlock the option. 8) Make sure "Reactivation Lock" in *UNCHECKED*. Go to Settings > (under "Personal") Security > (and under "Find My Mobile") uncheck "Reactivation Lock" 9) Finally in: Settings > (under "Personal") Security, make sure "unknown sources" is checked.
What's the best root-able Phablet, for those trying to get away from the UNroot-able AT&T Note 4? I was looking at the Nexus, but no microSD option... :(
+Isaiah Smith well that does make sense since i host tons of root exploiting tools. most virus programs will flag the site. root methods as a whole are normal some kind of malware that is how they gain root access
I can't get kingroot to work. My note 4 is on marshmallow and every time I try kingroot it tells me "root strategy unavailable." Am I missing something here?
downgrade to 5.1.1 then kingroot will temp root your device. I'm in this process right now but I'm having issues when I get to the cd /data/local/tmp/ command line it says no such directory
hey rootjunky, love the vids! :) just one question, if the note 4 on verizon was able to be rooted permanently, do u believe the att note 4 can get this to? dont they both have like the same type of problem where the carrier locked the bootloader? please answer i would greatly appreciate it!
It's obvious that the poster does not want to provide any further help! Many people are having issues with the KingRoot failing at around 53%, but no one who has gotten it to work will provide assistance to others.
How do I get rid of this? I did it and i am selling the phone and I want it back to stock everything i had a note 5 port on the phone and i flashed a boaf firmware and it says verizon software upgade asistant and that the update failed. I can't get the assistant but i can get the phone into download mode, please help.
FYI, trying to download anything from your rootjunkysdl.com got immediately flagged as malicious, and wouldn't let me download it. This happened in Chrome, and Firefox both. Not sure what's causing it, but if possible you might want to see if you can get rid of that. Thanks for the video, it was a huge help!
hi, i have a problem trying to install the TWRP, to get the root acces... i have a S5 GM G900V with android 6.0.1. when i try to proceed with odin, my phone shows an error message: Secure Check Fail : Recovery i don't have the Samsung Reactivation Lock active. is this beacuse Verizon have some kind of extra security or something? please help me... :C i need the root access.
Does this only work on 6.0.1? Has ANYONE had any luck with unlocking the bootloader on 6.0.1? Also, if I unlock my bootloader and root, is there a way to alter the LTE bands the phone is working on? I"m wanting to do this on my Note 4 to take it to Cricket, and thus far the only two things happening wrong on Cricket are: 1. No LTE, 2. I get a message that says non-Verizon SIM inserted, but the phone is otherwise working absolutely fine. I get up to H+, just not LTE. Thanks for any help anyone can give!
i have Samsung Galaxy S6 edge plus verizon (sm-g928v) my bootloader is locked & so i am unable to install TWRP Recovery & also cant root my phone. i have searched all over the google & xda devlopers there were nothing i found for my phone help me
Well, I finally got it to take after about 5 tries. I've got TWRP installed and did the nand backup then it asked if I wanted to install SuperSU. After I let TWRP install SuperSU, I'm in a boot-loop now. Pulled the battery and SD card to no avail. Should I Restore my backup from TWRP or will that mess up the unlocked boot-loader and Developer mode??? DAMN! I was soooo close too!!! (SM-N910V running android 5.1.1, Now Developer Edition, (was Retail), installed/ran Kingroot about 5x before I could actually run the commands without the phone freezing up,.. Loaded TWRP 2.8.5.0., did nand backup to internal memory, powered off and pulled battery and sd card. Continues to boot up until the Verizon logo, then loops. I CAN get into TWRP menu and download mode too. :)
+Christopher Russell lol I just wanted to tell him about the kernel he has to flash to get him out of the boot loop, I wasn't asking for me, and yeah i miss the S-note features and the S-view functions as well, I have the S-View Cover and when I installed CM 13 I couldn't use those functions anymore, but I can leave without them lol cause now we have root and an unlocked bootloader!!!
hi there, i need help with my samsung galaxy note 4 SM-N190A (at&t), i am looking to flash a custom ROM onto it. i am on android 5.0.1, running on stock touchwiz, has not been touched to my knowledge please help me unlock this bootloader it would be greatly appreciated.
+Chahi Nassim My phone is rooted and has a unlocked bootloader. The thing is, I would like the camera mod for the note 4. However, it only works for 4.4.4. If anyone know a camera mod that works for 5.0.1 please help me.
Another tip: If you're having problems with adb, like it's saying offline when running it in the command prompt, it could be that you need a newer version. I used "Minimal ADB and Fastboot" which worked. It's much easier, you just install it and then open it. It automatically opens a command prompt and you can then type "adb devices". IMPORTANT! If you do this method make sure you place the "samsung_unlock_n4_fix" in the program file "Minimal ADB and Fastboot" is located in. Otherwise you won't be able to successfully push it when in the command prompt (the part in the video at around 7:00).
Sorry if I'm blowing up the comments but no one else seems to be helping here so I'm posting comments as I hit problems and posting the solutions I discover. Hopefully this will help others out if they have the same issue.
Your fix involving the removal of the SD card after boot-loop was genius. I experienced the same issue, and that fixed it. Many thanks!
Hey greg u had note 4 wow

Awesome!!! As usual. I eagerly await FRP removal for Galaxy S7. Congrats again on the Play button.
Can't believe this day has finally come! Thanks for the informative video!
+Ryan Hackney Glad you liked it
Had to take 6.0.1 back to 5.1.1 to do this, but this method still works. Got stuck on a boot loop after all was done but thankfully someone posted the kernel needed for 5.1.1 in the comments here and it worked. Used King Root, kept trying for about an hour and it finally worked. I think it worked when I was connected to wall charger not computer, then once rooted plugged into computer to run abd commands.
How were you able to revert back to 5.1.1. Can you please post a link or point me to a forum I can follow. Thanks
Go to forum.xda-developers.com/note-4-verizon/development/firmware-firmware-kernel-modem-recovery-t2942937
thank you! it worked for me. telling us that we have to do it 2 times and then seeing it crash helped me to just keep going. i did it 5 times, but it worked. thanks!
i flashed it yesterday and yeah! reboots fast and i liked too. thanks man!!
is your phone was rooted befor
I can't temp root with King Root anymore; it just reboots after 55% or less. I used to use it all the time and in fact it was working a month ago. I don't understand what changed I didn't update firmware. Does anyone know what I can do? I see I'm not the only one with this issue.
Same problem. I also tried the desktop method.
I can not get the KingRoot to work either! Any suggestions?
Looks like Knox is being tripped in the middle of the rooting process and stops it
what is your baseband?
What is your baseband? Mine is N910VVRU2BPA1.
you did it again killer video for our Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note 4 keep up the good work right on time.
Great tutorial RJ, I read thru below and did not see this question...will this work on the Edge SM 915v?
thx .. Great Vds.. Plz share 6.0.1 rooting method for same model please
PLEASE..PLEASE...PLEASE!!!!

+Christopher Jackson No worries, man. Glad I could help. Enjoy.
Watching on my rooted Note 4 Verizon. I've actually got a tutorial on how to do this. Lol Heck yeah.

When i try to flash twrp using odin its says custom binary locked by r/l plz help me
will this work with 6.0.1? Is there a way to flash back to 5.1.1?

So I hope reverting to Lollipop will fix it.
would it be the same type of process for a note edge? want to do this so I can get a cool rom that makes the separate edge display to become flush with the normal screen.
First of all, Thanks for the video. My question is did you simply download Kingoroot and run it in on your phone and the phone was routed?
I tried to run Kingoroot and it failed when I ran one click root.
Many thanks to Rootjunky for the video and a one stop shop for all the downloads. I also want to thank Toly M. for the kernel link and information on flashing it. Thanks to you and many others I have a fully rooted Note 4.
Did you temp root with Kingroot? Many are having issues now, including me. It worked for me just a few weeks ago.
Yes I used Kingroot, V 4.9 to gain temp root then I used a 4 gig SD card which I formatted after each time I ran Kingroot and the ADB commands.
Are you on Android 5.1.1?
+Al Taylor Yes, 5.1.1
Thank you. Now I know it can be done. Maybe it's something with my system settings. I will try a factory reset. I was hoping for it not to come to that.
can you make a video about unrooting and updating from lollipop to marshmallow?
My device keeps rebooting at about 50%-53% and kingroot keeps starting over. This goes on for about 45 minutes until it tells me that it cannot root my device. I am running 5.1.1 (N910VVRU2BPA1).
Hi Sir, can I flash stock firmware from 910F European version (GSM) after just unlocking bootloader directly on 910V (CDMA) or I need to flash TWRP before. Because I don't use VZW
sim and want to get rid of there services or apps. And please tell is there any way to unlock on 6.0.1. thanks

my sm-nv910 note 4 will not root, tried kingroot, and kingoroot, there is another rooting method or program that you know of, another thing that could be of interest is that my phone is running Android 6.0.1 September 1,2016 and I lost control of my Sim Card, in other words can get to it
No pude desbloquear mi dispositivo, Note 4 N910V me aparece en odin en rojo doce Fail.
quick question, I know the t-mobile version is already unlocked from the get go but does doing this on the Verizon note 4 offer anything more? or just the samething as the t-mobile stock unlocked bootloader
same as tmobile
i attempt to root my note 4 with kingroot but my device reboot by itself on 35% help please?
Just run KingRoot again, it will continue from where it left off.
Do you believe there will be a boot loader unlock for the AT&T Note 4 ? I was in the process of selling it on Ebay and buying the T-Mobile Note 4
I have Verizon note 4 and it's unlocked. But I cannot update the software. Every time I try to do it , it says service temporarily unavailable . I'm running on 5.0.1. Little help please . Thanks.
This guy is golden. I asked him not too long ago about a root exploit for my Verizon Note 4. 2-3 weeks later, he comes out with the exploit. Apparently, the bounty put up some huge profit. One question rootjunky. After rooting could you give a list of system apps and bloatware to freeze? I've already got my ROM Toolbox Pro rip, raring and ready to go!
+Enrico J Fiorentino I would freeze the normal stuff like verizon apps and amazon stuff nfl mobile and slacker
+Rootjunky.com ok, I've repeated this process several times, deleted files from my computer, redownloaded the downloads, extracted to a folder on my desktop. I keep getting stuck at "su not found" in the command line interface
Sounds like you don't have root access working right then. Did you check root with root checker app.
+Rootjunky.com I'm bricked. I followed all the instructions exactly. When writing the twerp image and restarting , it's stuck in a boot loop
Enrico J Fiorentino that sucks you will have to odin restore and start over then. try removing the sd card first
my N910V has Security Patch Nov 1 2016, Baseband: N910VVRU2CPJ2, Kernal: 3.10.40, Knox 2.6 - am I too late for your methods? That's all on 6.0.1
Exc...me . if i have messege in red color in download mod
UDC start thats mean the boit loader is lock or whats proplem ?
While trying to rooting it reboots in 18% nd thn in 29% then its ended automatically what to do?
Does anyone know if there is a way you can flash SuperSu using TWRP(or any other method of flashing) on stock ROM and not get a bootloop afterwards? I'd prefer not to install a custom ROM as when I installed cm13 on the note 4 I got sound quality issues on certain apps.
+Jacob Andrews NEVER allow TWRP to auto install SuperSU when it asks you!
After you install TWRP via ODIN, reboot into recovery, THEN you can install SuperSU manually via TWRP.
+Glen “HomesByGlen” Orrell Thanks for the help! Unfortunately, I am still experiencing bootloops after flashing SuperSu even if I don't allow TWRP to auto install SuperSu. I flashed stock firmware via ODIN and re installed TWRP on my device but wasn't able to successfully flash SuperSu. Maybe I'm rooting the wrong version of SuperSu? I tried V.2.46 and restored a TWRP backup of the system then tried V.2.65 and both caused bootloops.
+Jacob Andrews Are you rooted and able to get in twrp recovery via the 3 finger method?
Glen Orrell Currently no as I just flashed stock firmware again but I could easily reinstall TWRP and unlock my bootloader if you have an idea. Again, thanks for the help!
+Jacob Andrews In case you were not informed, you need to load a custom kernel as well. You can do it in twrp.
I'm currently using MultiSystem-Kernel_LP-5.1.1; I could not get Emotion kernel to load in twrp.
Once I finished all that, I wiped the Dalvick Cache and Cache only.
Then powered down using twrp. Then pulled batt. and sdcard. Re-install batt with no sdcard and let it boot up all the way into VZW stock rom. It will take a while to boot up first time...
AYUDA amigo no sabrás como desbloquear el bootloader a mi note 4 N910T de T-mobile con android 6.0.1 es que no puedo rootearlo
Intenté hacer root y no pude me aparece una imagen que dice UDC start y no puedo rootear . necesito tu ayuda mi hermano.
after version logo its reboots again , ive tried factory reset but it still does it can ya help?
update: got odin system file from hioffandroid and got it going :)
This doesn't work anymore. KingRoot and KingORoot are unable to get temp root to get past the first step. If anyone has a solution, please post!
Got onto your site to do files,and could not see anything,,do I have to donate first?
Does this work on Stock 6.0.1?
just got a replacement phone and that is what came on it unfortunately.
every thing is fine but when i try to flash super su update with twrp goes fine but when reboot starts on a boot loop and i need to put the stock firm again with odin any ideas??

www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24415232478676428
when i write '' su '' it shows nothing ?? everything goes good until the '' su '' on cmd , help :/
a question because when I put the sd card is turned off and no longer passes the logo of note 4 and when the withdrawal if it works ?
+WACC Crispin You NEED To REFORMAT YOUR SD card on your computer to fix that problem.
In cmd my device is offline. What do I need to do to get online? I installed drivers. Is there some in my phone I need to check off? I have usb debugging checked and all, is there something else? Please help.
You need try again again and your problem disappear
andrea oviedo Thanx man I've got it now. I've managed to root my phone now. Sweet!
Is this anyway possible to work on note 4 at&t or do you have a method to root the at&t?
i had to do this 4 times if finally worked, thanks for the helpful video also now how do i get super su, because when i try to flash it goes to a bootloop help

I nedd to ROOT and UNLOCK the Bootloader on the Verizon Galaxy NOTE 5. Help me, please.
finally after 2 years +rootjunky
how you felling man !!
any custom like note 5 feature or something like that with debloated version
+Vatsalya Verma not sure need to look into roms still
+Rootjunky.com they said we converted retail version to developer edition and developer edition have some ROM.
but when you re-install or factory reset it again locked again boot-loader , I think that is primary issue
+Vatsalya Verma
forum.xda-developers.com/note-4-verizon/help/kyubi-final-constantly-permission-t3370961
+Rootjunky.com dude just try kyubi note 5 rom you gonna love it , I tested it and works perfectly but having mms issue which TEXTRA resolve it
I did all the steps but on command prompt it says that its for specific devices and it may kill your device ,google it ?
Why?
At 8:40 i dont get the same sentences
Things to do BEFORE you use KingRoot *IMPORTANT*:
1) BACK UP ALL FILES ON SD CARD TO PC!
a) Simply connect your device to your computer
b) Make sure the Note 4 is set for media transfer, the option will be in the drop down from the top of the phone once usb is connected.
c) Copy over files from S card (and phone if you want) to a folder on your PC just like you would with any USB stick
2) FORMAT SD CARD. *AFTER* backing up the card you will have to format the card through the phone in the settings under storage > SD Card > Format SD CARD
3) Make sure you are running android version 5.1.1. If you are not here is a link with all firmware versions and instructions on how to up/downgrade firmware : forum.xda-developers.com/note-4-verizon/development/firmware-firmware-kernel-modem-recovery-t2942937
Here is a TH-cam video also showing you how to change your firmware using Odin: th-cam.com/video/2unAeVRqjoQ/w-d-xo.html
4) Download *NEWEST VERSIONS* of all files from this video. Best way to do this is do a google search for the file follwed by "XDA". i.e. "KingRoot xda". This will bring you to the xda forum to make sure you get authentic, verified and current versions of the files listed in the vid (many of them have been update since this vid was posted).
5) Make sure to download "eMMc Brick checker" from play store. Run it and make sure the phone CID starts with a "15". If it doesn't *STOP HERE!*
6) Download "Root Checker" to check if root was successful after rooting.
7) Also make sure "Developer" Mode is open and USB debugging is enabled. You can turn it on by going to: Settings > About Phone > then click on "Build Number" ten (10) times to unlock the option.
8) Make sure "Reactivation Lock" in *UNCHECKED*. Go to Settings > (under "Personal") Security > (and under "Find My Mobile") uncheck "Reactivation Lock"
9) Finally in: Settings > (under "Personal") Security, make sure "unknown sources" is checked.
What's the best root-able Phablet, for those trying to get away from the UNroot-able AT&T Note 4?
I was looking at the Nexus, but no microSD option... :(
+RogueIMP moto pure edition is awesome and the nexus 6p rocks
+Rootjunky.com Nexus doesn't have the MicroSD option... if it did, I'd buy one now! :)
I'll look into that moto! thanks!
It says your website contains malware when attempting to download the files....
+Isaiah Smith well that does make sense since i host tons of root exploiting tools. most virus programs will flag the site. root methods as a whole are normal some kind of malware that is how they gain root access
Do we have a way to do this for 6.0.1 yet?
3 years later and still no
So does this mean we can install any rom listed on xda? that'd be awesome.
+allanpa yes. now we have DEv edition device
+Toly M thanks for the reply man. have you tried any? i think i'll try kyubi. it stood out for me
If I just want to Root my phone and not flash it what step can I stop at?
+Josh Moulton just use kingroot then
+Rootjunky.com I'm looking to permanently root it...will kingroot do that?
Nope
I can't get kingroot to work. My note 4 is on marshmallow and every time I try kingroot it tells me "root strategy unavailable." Am I missing something here?
+Jake Harbour you have to downgrade the firmware for KingRoot to work.
is there a way to do this on 6.0.1?
downgrade to 5.1.1 then kingroot will temp root your device. I'm in this process right now but I'm having issues when I get to the cd /data/local/tmp/ command line it says no such directory
Extremely helpful video. Thank you.
glad you like it
hey rootjunky, love the vids! :) just one question, if the note 4 on verizon was able to be rooted permanently, do u believe the att note 4 can get this to? dont they both have like the same type of problem where the carrier locked the bootloader? please answer i would greatly appreciate it!
ik the link said it wont work on att but just wondering if in the future it will be possible and maybe even worked on?
does kernel version matter? im on 5.0.1 my baseband is N910VVRU2B0G5
It's obvious that the poster does not want to provide any further help! Many people are having issues with the KingRoot failing at around 53%, but no one who has gotten it to work will provide assistance to others.
Get the lastest verison of kingroot
How do I get rid of this? I did it and i am selling the phone and I want it back to stock everything i had a note 5 port on the phone and i flashed a boaf firmware and it says verizon software upgade asistant and that the update failed. I can't get the assistant but i can get the phone into download mode, please help.
Odin back to stock.
FYI, trying to download anything from your rootjunkysdl.com got immediately flagged as malicious, and wouldn't let me download it. This happened in Chrome, and Firefox both. Not sure what's causing it, but if possible you might want to see if you can get rid of that.
Thanks for the video, it was a huge help!
that is because the site is full of root hacks that are malicious that is how they work lol
omg can someone please tell me if this works on verizon note 4 running 6.0.1 if not can someone please make a video showing how to do it
no me pudieras ayudar con la vercion de android 6.0.1
note 4 verizon n910v
hi, i have a problem trying to install the TWRP, to get the root acces... i have a S5 GM G900V with android 6.0.1. when i try to proceed with odin, my phone shows an error message:
Secure Check Fail : Recovery
i don't have the Samsung Reactivation Lock active. is this beacuse Verizon have some kind of extra security or something?
please help me... :C i need the root access.
You're using a different phone with a different firmware. This video is for the 910V with 5.1.1 firmware.
Does this only work on 6.0.1? Has ANYONE had any luck with unlocking the bootloader on 6.0.1? Also, if I unlock my bootloader and root, is there a way to alter the LTE bands the phone is working on? I"m wanting to do this on my Note 4 to take it to Cricket, and thus far the only two things happening wrong on Cricket are: 1. No LTE, 2. I get a message that says non-Verizon SIM inserted, but the phone is otherwise working absolutely fine. I get up to H+, just not LTE. Thanks for any help anyone can give!

Well, I finally got it to take after about 5 tries. I've got TWRP installed and did the nand backup then it asked if I wanted to install SuperSU. After I let TWRP install SuperSU, I'm in a boot-loop now. Pulled the battery and SD card to no avail.
Should I Restore my backup from TWRP or will that mess up the unlocked boot-loader and Developer mode???
DAMN! I was soooo close too!!!
(SM-N910V running android 5.1.1, Now Developer Edition, (was Retail), installed/ran Kingroot about 5x before I could actually run the commands without the phone freezing up,.. Loaded TWRP 2.8.5.0., did nand backup to internal memory, powered off and pulled battery and sd card. Continues to boot up until the Verizon logo, then loops.
I CAN get into TWRP menu and download mode too. :)
+Glen “HomesByGlen” Orrell You're in a boot loop?
+Christopher Russell Which version of CM did you use?
I do not see any CM downloads for the Verizon Note 4...
download.cyanogenmod.org/
+Glen “HomesByGlen” Orrell Did you manage to fix the boot loop?
+Christopher Russell lol I just wanted to tell him about the kernel he has to flash to get him out of the boot loop, I wasn't asking for me, and yeah i miss the S-note features and the S-view functions as well, I have the S-View Cover and when I installed CM 13 I couldn't use those functions anymore, but I can leave without them lol cause now we have root and an unlocked bootloader!!!
+Christopher Russell what camera app are u using?
im on exynox n910c international(europe) is there a method for me
I did but it kept restarting my phone, please help me

try kingoRoot
Now i have the root but when i write ADB SHELL, i get the shell, then I type SU and get "/system/bin/su[1]: syntax error: '(' unexpected"
wich android version you have and how you root it
I have successfully unlocked my bootloader. However, I have decided that I want to downgrade from 5.0.1 to 4.4.4. How do I do this?
is your phone was routedd befor
+Chahi Nassim
My phone is rooted and has a unlocked bootloader.
The thing is, I would like the camera mod for the note 4. However, it only works for 4.4.4. If anyone know a camera mod that works for 5.0.1 please help me.
will it work on my note 4 model 5.0.1 SM-N901v
how do you bypass setup wizard on galaxy s6
this is not working om my galaxy note 4 android 5.1.1..
it won't find the files
samsung unlock
Ah with 6.0.1, it is 315th in a queue for them to workout a root method. So I guess it is not happening.
can this work for the at&t variant?
Will this work on other Note 4 variants?
You do not need to do this using adb shell. I literally just did it directly from the phone.
make a video to unlock bootloader of galaxy s5 at&t
do you have a link to a thread for this unlock method
+Rootjunky.com no i don't
what if you dont have a SD card?
buy one
They are like $10 for a 32gb card bruh
Does this work on ATT Note4 N910A?
nope
I hope someone cracks open the boot loader soon, as it was for Veriz.
#rootjunkey Any update? seems KingRoot is not working any more. after 53% reboot.
