On tmobile i keep failing right after cache.img.ext4 in odin everytime. Downloaded root file 10 times. Extracted, ran odin as administrator, tried multiple versions, multiple usb cables. But for some reason keep failing after i see cache.img.ext4 in the log. Happens on desktop and laptop.

Let me know if you need any info, files or anything

P.S. new firmware flashed just fine. But had root issues before and after new firmware

Thank You

I have the recovery.img for the US Cellular Note 4. I have zipped and attached it, would very much like root.
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] uapyro:
Yeah, it did for me. It even persisted through a factory reset, without installing it again.

Solution someone else posted that fixed mine:

1. Make sure you don't have Xposed installed, if you do uninstall it.

2. Then change ro.securestorage.support=true to ro.securestorage.support=false. (I believe in build.prop)

3. Install Xposed Framework.

4. Wipe the data from S Health and HealthService.

5. Reboot.

Nope, you just have to disable "Reactivation lock" (Reactiveringsvergrendeling) before you start the root procedure.

When finished rooting you can turn it on again if you want.

Ive got a N910F which I rooted fine when I got it. I updated the software which changed from

PDA:NJ4 / CSC:NJ1 / PHONE:NJ4 (BTU)

to

PDA:NJ4 / CSC:NJ2 / PHONE:NJ4 (BTU)

I then tried to re-root it using same method as before but this time Odin fails and says "ID:0/009> FAIL! (Auth)"

On the phone it says "SECURE CHECK FAIL : recovery"

Maybe the stock recovery in the updated rom is different to the one in the root file? Just a guess!

Phone works fine, just lost root! Anyone got any ideas why it wont root this time?

no.. dont update via kies or OTA, u will again suffer softbrick in installing root.

just download N910G stock latest firmware from sammobile, flash it via odin with repartition ticked OFF.

once rebooted successfully. you install root via odin. it will work 100%

hello sir hope you doing well

sir i want to install an .apk file trough cfautroot like how you push supersu.apk to system/app/

i have one application and i want that to push it to system/app while i am rooting the phone

so i mount the cache.img and i add my apk file inside /cfautoroot/ folder and then build cache.img

i flash the phone with same cache.img file flash successful done but the apk file i added into cfautoroot folder wasnt install only supersu was installed

then i mount the recovery.img to find out the coding where you add command to push supersu.apk to system/app/

but i couldnt find such as coding

after looking into files in recovery.img so i found an ( executable) file inside Ramdisk/sbin/cfautoroot

i think all coding is inside that executable file and its not possible to edit and executable file

so i m requesting you to provide me the source code of that executable file (cfautoroot)

or please add one line in that file to push my application in system/app as well

the name of my application is cleanmaster-v50501477-2010001822_0_1405067842.apk

an unlocked bootloader, which verizon does NOT have, so no root for you..
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] the duderino:
last 2 days

so guys my unbranded note 4 is coming this friday and so exited about it. for now i decided not to root because of the users keep telling about this not working, camera gone bad... but as far as i understand chainfire created the perfect root again. if shealth and other apps not working its due to xposed... i never used xposed framework so i believe there is no other downside of rooting other than knox and screw knox and warranty!

can anyone share your oppinion in this, like if you have another problem after root??
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hermeticist:
Can we run the Sprint root over a device that was rooted with T-Mobile root?

Will that fix recovery?

My understanding is that these rooting zips flash a custom version of stock recovery so in theory flashing the Sprint one should fix any T-Mobile root problems.
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pantmunu:
Hmm . That might just work . I rooted using tmobile root so ill give it a shot later whn im home.
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chainfire:
I haven't looked in-depth at any of these issues since in my country the Note4 is a bit late (should be arriving within a few days, though). However, I do know some things check for stock kernel and recovery on some Samsung firmwares, and the status flags for this in the bootloader are often only reset by flashing through ODIN (or TriangleAway). If someone were inclined to see if it fixes any of their issues, I would recommend getting their firmware from SamMobile, extracting just boot.img and recovery.img, tarring them back together, flashing that via ODIN, and seeing if that makes a difference.

Locked Bootloader / Root

If the bootloader for the AT&T Note 3 (SM-N900A) is still locked, how are root and custom roms available for it?

I'm not really tempted to trigger my brand new Galaxy Note 4 into the Knox:0x1 state after just one day with the phone.

However, the question is, how long do we have to wait (how long do you think?) before we see a real rooting method that doesn't trigger the Knox:0x1?

If i have to wait 2 or maybe up to 4 months for that, i might actually considering to do the CF-Auto-Root method the coming days afterall then.

If we might see a real rooting method within the next 2 weeks, then i might hold on for that.
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Teufel Hunden:

In that case, it looks like I'll definitely be searching for a reasonably priced SM-N910T model. When I called AT&T the other day to find out if they can unlock the bootloader, the CSR told me that once the phone is paid in full, they could unlock it, but idk if he knew what he was talking about. Does the carrier or a 3rd-party company have the ability to unlock the bootloader? Thanks again.

[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bugs88:
Well, it didn't work for me

I've rooted five Android devices successfully - three phones, two tablets. But the SM-N910G defeated me. It bricked twice with the CF-Auto-Root Odin flash. I had to take it back to Samsung to 'refresh the software'. Luckily, because it didn't root, Knox remained at 0x0 and they did it. Twice in the same day, actually. But I don't think it can be done again, so for now I don't think I can root.

I followed the instructions to the letter, to the best of my knowledge. I started Odin, got the 'added' remark when I plugged in the phone. I pressed Start and the progress bar started, but it stopped slightly into the first of those 'chicklet' sections, changed colour, and said 'FAIL!' On the phone a blue progress bar appeared, ran a third of the way left to right, and stopped. It was unchanged five minutes later.

I rebooted, but got a message to the effect that there'd been a problem with firmware upgrade, and I should recover with Kies. I tried this, but Kies couldn't recognise the device - claimed the Kies version was incompatible with this phone. I went into download mode and tried again with Odin, but it just went through the same process again.

There was no way I know to get back to unrooted, standard interface. Presumably I flash stock recovery, but I'd need your help learning how to do that (is there a link for idiots who want to become slightly less idiotic?). Until I'm able to undo my mistakes, I don't think I can proceed to root.

Which sucks, because good lord there are a lot of ads on my screen. And, you know, all the other great things that rooting enables - better multi-window, better battery, theming, Xposed, Titanium Backup, you name it.

I wonder if anyone else has had the same problem and discovered a solution? I few posts back someone used the term 'soft-bricking', which sounds very much like what happened to me. I'd love to hear your stories if so.

I see. Well the first thing I got was that 'this version of Kies is not compatible with your device. Please upgrade to Kies 3' or some such. So I'd done that. Now I'm concerned that should a subsequent root process not work, I'm stuck without any way to recover.

What's more confounding still is that the process which should have worked - CF-Auto0Root - aborted and broke something. I suppose there must have been some driver missing or something.
