Unable to root N910F since firmware update

Hello,

Following an update from Samsung OTA it removed the root on my phone and now I am unable to root it again. I've waited about 2 weeks, hoping someone else experienced the same issue but appears i'm on my own! Every time I try to root it keeps failing at the same point, I have attached the Odin log from today below and a picture of what I see on the phone.

If anyone has any fixes, it would be appreciated.

Is anyone working on a root for the at&t or Verizon note 4??
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] manbat:
It will have to be compatible with a locked bootloader. CF-Autoroot temp flashes a custom recovery, roots and then reflashes the stock recovery (this is the way it was explained to me). So it will not work with ATT or Verizon.

Hey everyone, Am new here to xda so wanted to say a quick thank you to everyone who offers noobs like me help and support... its much appreciated!

Also a big cheers to Chain Fire for the easy to follow guide allowing me to root my Galaxy Note 4.

A quick question though, since rooting my phone has become slightly laggy ( stutters when scrolling through screens and Web pages etc) and has also made my hangouts app unusable due to messages not coming through straight away and then just appearing in the conversation.

Has anyone else experienced this or can you suggest a way to rectify it?

I only rooted the phone to allow google music tracks to be sent to a wireless speaker but if the phone has to now be like this then I'm not sure it's worth it...

Thanks for the help

Note 4 Root

The Problem is that there is no release for the, Android 4.4.4 KTU84P, which is the specific OS for the AT&T KNOX version with TIMA and ODE and SHA2 encryption

LOCKED BOOT LOADER = NO ROOT

They won't release the source code. so it literally has to be hacked old school fashion on a Linux platform. Needless to say this is not an easy task. the Devs who wrote

the source code made it difficult on purpose. Why you ask? It's not what you think, its because The Galaxy Note phone was the first phone in the world to pass

DOD and DOJ Security clearance protocols for classified document handling. As some of you may know Samsung Teamed up with the NSA. I know This sounds like

conspiracy theory, however you can look it up. Just Google "Knox NSA" Because the NSA had a hand in developing the Knox application they don't want people gaining

root and exploiting the code. Once root is achieved they have to start over and increase security more. The Dev's who are trying to achieve a root exploit are directly messing with the NSA's baby. That is not a fun game to play. It sucks for regular Joe's like me who own a Note 4 and just want to make a few mods. However, I think the dam code should be released and the freaking DOD & DOJ should have their own Proprietary devices. Let us have our toys and don't intermingle civilian tech with government tech. On the flip side

that's how they build the most secure devices in the world by allowing the public and geniuses like XDA Developers to try to exploit their work. Then the weakness is exposed and allows for NSA & Samsung Dev's to modify and correct exploits. Eventually root will be achieved, Then its just a matter of blocking OTA Updates that compromise SU privileges. Even on the Note 3, I don't think True root was ever achieved. Towel root just side stepped the knox counter and added a SU Privilege that allowed for lots of tweaks. The De La Vega Hack may have achieved access to the Kernel, I'm not sure on that one. I do know it pissed off AT&T, LMAO. I hope XDA Cracks the NOTE 4 and gets something like towel root. For now the closest thing you can do is to download note 3 OS and side load the entire OS in a note 4 then run safe strap & towel root and tweak it from there. The later is just an idea I am not sure if it would work given the locked boot loader. It may just brick the device. Just my humble thoughts on the topic.

I really don't know what to do, I have previously rooted phones before but, I never had this struggle that the phone wasn't rooting. Is it that my phone is locked and I can't root? I pre-ordered this one may that be the reason???
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mikkelrev69:
First of all: "reactivation lock" must be DEACTIVATED. Go to settings/security...

While you're at it, make sure "USB debug" is ACTIVATED. (settings/dev. options....)

If you have read the instruction more properly and study the thread a little, you'd know this cause this is THE most common mistake for people not reading up. The thread is flodded with this issue (!)

[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mikkelrev69:
Isn't that just what I said, "reactivation lock" must be DEACTIVATED?? You should have known this before starting..

Before flashing anything on a Samsung phone you ALWAYS make sure this option is unchecked and USB debug checked. Wise routine..

Yes... triple checked the file. I did it 3 times and no luck. The minute i used to TWRP recovery file... it worked in 4 seconds. Tho i guess they are the same thing. Does it matter if its CWM or TWRP? is it just a personal preference?

Im just happy i got anyone of it tho i think CWM is more popular.

issues with lag

Morning/Aftenoon..

So i rooted my phone a couple of weeks ago. This is only the second time i have rooted a phone so still getting to grips with how things work etc.

Everything was working fine since i rooted until the past week or so, I noticed that the phone has become laggy. Not in the generally slow way, for example, whilst playing a game (crossy road) the phone freezes for about 2-4 seconds then continues to work for a while but then that freeze re-occurs again. It's also happening when i hit the wake up button, the screen won't turn on for a few seconds and the same when i swipe to unlock it (wont register the touch for a few seconds.) I first noticed it while playing that game and it was limited to only that game whilst playing even though when i first downloaded that game it didn't happen straight away.

I've searched for some solutions like installing 'cleaner apps', deleting junk files, clearing ram, restarting the phone, etc, etc.

Does anyone know what the problem might be??

thanks!

Caution using CF-Auto-Root 4.4.4 on SM-N910F Lollilpop 5.0.1

Caution to folks who update to Lollipop 5.0.1 with Keis or Odin on the SM-N910F and then use CF-Auto-Root for 4.4.4.

The process will downgrade the recovery from the 5.0.1 stock recovery to the stock 4.4.4 recovery.

No idea if that will cause issues. Just thought I'd point it out.

So maybe best to wait on Chainfire to update CF-Auto-Root.

Stock 5.0.1 recovery has these options.

[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mikkelrev69:
Does the phone boot to recovery or download mode as normal? If recovery is not working, you had a bad flash since the CF-Auto-Root file should reinstall the stock recovery thus the flash must have gone wrong somehow. Are you 100% certain you flashed the correct rooting file for N910F?

If so, search both cf-autoroot threads for clues. Maybe someone else experienced the same issue. But if you followed the instructions to the letter and did all the right precautions, you should not encounter any problems whatsoever.

First of all check if you got the right file and redownload it and do another try.
