Got a new fully stock and updated OF5 Sprint GN4 and want to root..Whats my steps? - Sprint Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Is it the same process as my original GN4? Cant afford to brick or screw this up. What will my limitations be with OF5? Thanks!

Should be able to root with cf auto root.

Same as any other samsung note 4 root

Odin twrp, flash su. Followed the steps found on Galaxynote4root.com, worked without a hitch. As far as limitations, youll only be able to flash certain roms.

Any word on what roms work? Is this of5 new is that what the issue is or has development stopped on the note 4 cause the note 5 is coming?

I think its because Sprint included a special lock on its latest upgrade that doesnt allow people to easily go back to their previous backups

You can restore your nand backups that you make with TWRP once you root and install custom recovery. What you can no longer do is "downgrade" the bootloader. There is finally a tar for the most current release so if you mess up you can ODIN back to stock and start over or get back to stock to take the 5.1 update once it drops.

That has not worked for me. I have tried both twrp and cm. I still have the stock recovery after two attempts with each of the custom recovery options.
I've also tried to use CF auto root multiple times with no success. I have had two updates since I purchased my phone about 1 month ago. I'm on version 5.0.1
My software version is N910PVPU3BOF5.
If anyone can be any help, I'd surely appreciate it.

In odin make sure you uncheck autoreboot, run odin like usual when its done and says pass, unplug phone, pull battery wait a couple of seconds put battery back in and hold volume up power and home button to enter recovery.

Input greatly appreciated.
Is this when I use the custom recovery method or for the CF auto root method? Or both?

I could hug you, but I'll refrain. I can't believe something so small as doping a battery pull could make the difference.

I think you have to turn off reactivation lock in settings. I think it's in developer settings.

Custom recovery.

Hi, guys
For some time didn't visit the site. Now bought T-mo S4 M-919.
Last 3 days running sleep deprived LOL. Trying to install either CWM, CWM-touch, TWIRP.... ANYTHING!!!!
Used Odin 3.07, 1.85, operation completes in 2.03 minutes and yellow square on the top of Odin menu says PASS.
Then again, booting into recovery and getting recovery (3e), stock I assume.
D-loaded all drives, Kies, whatever was suggested in several posts. Read and searched for 3 days, eyes are bleeding already... LOL
Installed custom recoveries on multiple devices HD2, Asus Transformer, dreaded Viewsonic G-tab, HTC Sensation 4g...
Never had such a tough time.
What am I doing wrong? Did anyone else had such a problem?
Any advice is greatly appreciated!!!

Are you rooted? You could try installing from Rom Manager app itself.
Thanks.

Now I'm with CWM and rooted!!!! And Happy!!

Now I'm happy with my CWM, maybe later will install TWRP, I like more options in TWRP.
The goal right now is to figure out what bloatware is safe to remove without compromising performance and install all my old programs through the Titanium back up.

Back up all the bloat with titanium.
Make a full nandroid backup of the rom.
Then delete anything you want. If it breaks restore it with titanium. If it really breaks do a full nandroid restore.

What does voiding Knox mean? Boot loader flag goes from 0x0 to 0x1
Notes about Knox:
FLASHING A: CUSTOM KERNEL or CUSTOM RECOVERY on MK3 boot loader VOIDS KNOX
CANNOT DOWNGRADE TO OLDER FIRMWARE!
Composed of an OS side and firmware (bootloader-side) implementation. Apps (OS components) can be removed, but the firmware components CANNOT.
You can still root on the new firmware...but you can't flash a custom recovery or custom kernel, or else you will trip Knox
First!!!!
Damn we need a way to get rid of KNOX!!!!!!.... LOL

You have to be unrooted stock. It needs stock recovery. The zip is just like you taking a OTA update.

Then I have to download 834MB file size in order to flash 495MB file size
Is it any way to flash stock recovery and make unrooting by supersu itself?
If you already have a stock rom and recovery installed and you don't have an sd card handy, it's easy to update the zip using ADB sideload. Assuming you have used ADB before and know how to use it on your computer
Download the file and rename it something easy like "update.zip"
reboot the phone into recovery by pressing volume up, home, and power
select the option to update via ADB
plug in phone to computer with USB cable
on your computer open a terminal window and if you want to make sure the ADB connection works type "ADB devices" you should see some numbers listed followed by "sideload"
flash the file by typing "adb sideload update.zip" if you named it update.zip that is, then press enter
once it's done hit the power button to reboot
profit??
Ok I know this is a dumb question does it have to be on sd card or internal card for recovery to pick it up

if you are trying to flash it from the phone it needs to be on an external SD card.

Bricked Note 2 - help needed

Hello
Got a Note 2 (N7100), boots up to the Samsung Logo and stays like that, basically that's called a soft-brick?
I'm familiar to Odin flashing, custom recovery flashing and so on - what are the steps to be done here?
Is there anything like a stock recovery ROM you can point me at, that i can flash using ODIN & the steps to follow?
Thanks very much, really appreciated
:good:

The kernel is flashed in TWRP recovery. Odin that, making sure you've selected the option to disable OEM lock in Odin 3.10.6 and do not select auto reboot. When done with the TWRP Odin flash, pull USB and battery, wait 30 seconds, reboot to recovery and flash kernel.
Are you having trouble with Odin or boot? CF Auto Root is not used to root OG5. After flashing the kernel, flash the rooted ROM or root with SuperSU zip if just wanting to root stock and boot.

AFAIK you may be OK despite that. I keep seeing that on the web so I thought maybe that's why OE1 thru OG5 bootloaders are giving fits and bricks (semi-bricks).
It may only apply to full tars; did you OTA or KIES to OG5?
The saga continues... feedback like this helps. Thanks!

Since you have a OG5 tar, now you can wipe it and clean install Odin to fix that.

Custom Recovery after 4.4.2?

Hello XDA community,
So I've owned the Note II since it came out basically. I used to ODIN custom recoveries and flash ROMs to it all the time. After the last update (4.4.2), I ODIN my phone back to stock to get the update; which of course included the dreaded KNOX. Afterwards, I just left it be due to the KNOX security and fear of messing up the phone. Long story short, I've been out of the loop for a couple of years and recently I've had the urge to try some of the newer ROMs and what not. More than likely this urge has spawned from the fact that I'll be doing away with my Note II soon, as it's very old and dated. So the fear of messing it up, has some what diminished.
So my question is... Is there anything special that I have to do before attempting to load a custom recovery after the 4.4.2 firmware update? Do I have to downgrade my current stock firmware first? Or is it still the same as it was before 4.4.2, just using ODIN to push the recovery and reboot? Any help is greatly appreciated! :victory:
Even with knox there is a chainfire setup. Trips knox but your out of warranty anyway. Just follow threads for your note 2. Mine is att.

Wow, Thanks for the quick response! Would you mind looking through these instructions right quick, and see if I'm safe to go with this method?
ROOT AT&T GALAXY NOTE 2 AND INSTALL TWRP RECOVERY
1.) Download and extract CF-Auto-Root-t0lteatt-t0lteatt-samsungsghi317.zip to your PC. You’ll get an Odin flash-able file in the .tar.md5 format.
2.) Flash the CF-Auto-Root-t0lteatt-t0lteatt-samsungsghi317.tar.md5 using Odin. You can follow our exclusive guide on flashing firmware using Odin
3.) During the CF Auto-root process, if the device is stuck at bootlogo, remove the battery and boot into recovery mode manually to start the rooting process.
4.) Once the flashing process is finished, reboot the device and open the SuperSU app. If you encounter any KNOX warnings, then follow the instructions given in our KNOX disabling guide
5.) If everything is fine on the rooting end, download the latest Odin flash-able TWRP recovery from the Official TWRP page
6.) The recovery is in the form of .tar package, flash it using the Odin guide
7.) Reboot the device into recovery mode and check if the recovery is installed properly.
That looks like the right one. Been awhile my note is still going. Getting oppo r7s soon. But yes looks correct. Good flashing.

Oh Nice! A guy I work with was just telling me about the oppo. He's also talking about getting it. It looks like a beast, from what I've seen on it.

Not sure where I went wrong. I factory reset my phone before I even started. Pushed the ROOT using ODIN 3.10. Everything went fine, the phone rebooted and came back with "SuperSU stopped working" ,"Youtube stopped working", "Maps stopped working." Unable to open any of those apps. I factory reset again, and cleared the cache, but still no luck. Any suggestions for me?
Only thing I can think is su needs to be re flashed

Tried to re-flash SuperSU, but still no luck. However, after all the other apps finished updating - I can use youtube and maps again. yay! lol.
By re-flashing stock, do you mean using ODIN to push a stock firmware back over to the phone? Did the stock 4.4.2 firmware ever leak out after release?
By the way, I really appreciate your advice on all this.
I did a 4.3 stock. Then I flashed DN3. But yeah gapps can be a pain too. Slipped my mind lol.
Yw for the tips but you're doing it . lol Have fun.
