Gents and Ladies,

I am also purchasing a verizon note 4 DE and would like some advice as to what i'm looking for or need to check before making the purchase of the device. Please all or any help is appreciated. Also since i'm going with the Note 4 DE i dont need to unlock the bootloader correct or do i still need to unlock it?

Let me get this straight.. You flashed openrecovery-twrp-2.8.1.1-trltetmo.img.tar with Odin3 v3.09 then installed SuperSu that came with TWRP. Is that correct?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] bigsnack:
Dang it, I really want the N4, and the only way to get it would be on Edge; but, if I can't get the DE edition on edge, I guess I am waiting. :-{
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] mrlaigle:
Yes then No. I flashed TWRP with ODIN. I then flashed SU.zip(2.16) with TWRP. = WIN

Using lastest from chainfire's page.

http://download.chainfire.eu/567/SuperSU/UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.16.zip
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] doctor-cool:
That link down loaded (UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.13)

OK so I assume I put that on my SD card and install with TWRP is that correct?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] mrlaigle:
Yes sir!

here is the correct 2.16 link. I forgot to change the 589 in the url

Do I start with the phone in the download mode? And I use the BL button to find the tar file. Correct?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] Blackiisky:
I'm verifying I'm also now rooted using the described method previously mentioned. I spent most my time trying to get my phone to be seen by odin in fastboot. eventually i downloaded samsung drivers and it all went downhill from there. flashed twrp in odin. recovery flashed Supersu 2.16. downloaded root checker and verified. I'm very happy with my decision to switch to the DE note 4. Thank you very much mrlaigle for the instructions :)
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] mrlaigle:
Yeah odin dirst in downloaf mode. I alway always use ap. Years of being told to never use dl. I used ap. You might have sucess with others but i dont trust any other one than ap . Then reboot after twrp install. Then volume up and home to get to recovery. Install then choose file from sd card. But before you flash super user. Backup everytjing in twrp to tour sd card. Clean slate to fall back on to. Must must must back it up.

Summary of Custom Recovery and Rooting Process

This summary ONLY applies to a Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Developer Edition Phone, trying to use it on a regular Verizon Note 4 will NOT work and WILL Brick your phone!

I am a firm believer in making sure of what I am doing before I make an expensive paperweight. This summary if correct, will also save others much time putting the pieces together from all the previous posts:

1. Download USB drivers from Samsung: http://www.samsung.com/us/support/owners/product/SM-N910VMKEVZW

2. Using ODIN V 3.09 (link courtesy [MENTION=2367052]GirLuvsDroid[/MENTION]): http://www.mediafire.com/download/vw...din3_v3.09.zip

ODIN setting AP, Phone in Download mode

3. Install openrecovery-twrp-2.8.1.1-trltetmo.img.tar (Thank you [MENTION=2193554]fz798[/MENTION]): http://www.techerrata.com/browse/twrp2/trltetmo

This gives a fully functional custom TWRP recovery

If you don't do 1 or even 2 full saves to SD card and / or PC at this point you are a fool.

4. Using TWRP in recovery, install SU.zip(2.16) (Thank you [MENTION=2770711]mrlaigle[/MENTION]): http://download.chainfire.eu/589/Sup...erSU-v2.16.zip

5. Reboot

You should now have a fully rooted, custom TWRP recovery, SuperuserSU Developer Edition Note 4.

Not truly related, but very useful to a just rooted phone:

It ended up being a fake D.E and the guy removed his listing. Hahaha i ended up buying a retail note 4 baseband N910VVRU2BOG5 ON 5.0.1 and checked the CID starts with 15. I just need to find and follow the instruction on rooting, unlocking bootloader and perm root afterwards. Most guide i found or vids are on 5.1.1 was wondering if i could flash bog5 baseband and install bpa1 baseband then do all the rooting and unlocking of bootloader. Any advice
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] amir310:
Thank you soo much for this guide. The guide worked out perfectly for me. I updated to 5.1.1 using odin, then temp root, unlocked the bootloader successfully, then installed perm root, along with xposed. Down the road will installed dr.ketan rom or CM. Once again thank you for your help, much appreciated.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] Telemachus:
I love all of the new ROMS that have been released since Retail's bootloader got cracked... But almost all of them have the problem where the brightness slider doesn't work on my DE. Has anyone found a solution to this?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] bagery77:
Do you have updated Marshmellow bootloader?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] Telemachus:
I have been using multisystem kernel... do you have a link to the bootloader that you referenced?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] bagery77:
I believe you would have to do those exhaustive steps mentioned and linked up above in post # 2895. Im still using DE Lollipop as daily, but I upgraded my retail using the steps above. My understanding is you would have to upgrade to the full firmware that includes the bootloader, root that (and unlock bootloader), then I think brightness on these roms would work for you. Someone else feel free to correct me if I'm wrong.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] plainbum:
It was suggested to me to:

"To retain your dev signature you'll have to PM ryanbg for assistance."

I have pm'ed him twice since August and have not heard back from him>

Is He the only person that can help my situation?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] bagery77:
He's the only one I can recall, but I really couldn't think up a use for a retained signature. Seems more sentimental than anything to do with operation.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] plainbum:
I was told this by a fellow member here:

"For a advantage you didn't have to use questionable root methods like Kingo that can corrupt your phone or change your CID."
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] Telemachus:
I have thought about odin flashing my DE to full retail since my wife's retail is so much more functional with its bootloader unlocked... but manbis kingoroot a pain! I'd do anything not to have to go through that again.

LL runs well as a daily driver but my battery life is dismal. KK by far had the best battery life on this phone, with aliance rom.

Is there no kernel that works well with DE on MM?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] fz798:
I'm running Oscar kernel and my battery life is great
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] Telemachus:
It tired in with PaulPizz Rom, no brightness control and no autofocus on camera.

Are you running DE or did you swap yours to retail and unlock?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] fz798:
I have a de and a retail, this is the retail that's been converted. Brightness control works fine, and for camera I use camera zoom FX, works great
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] Telemachus:
I'm confused... retail note 4 converted is NOT a native DE. I know what works for retail.

I'm just not eager to convert my DE to retail. There is no MM kernel for native DE?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] fz798:
I think yes, you may be confused, or, I am not understanding what you're not understanding... I have both a DE as well as a retail. The DE has been converted to retail and unlocked/rooted and both phones are running JasmineROM v7.0, both phones running Oscar kernel, and both phones are working properly (brightness works fine, camera focus works fine). Ostensibly, they're now identical, even though one was an official DE. Am I missing something?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] Telemachus:
Hehe. Nope. Time to turn mine into a retail I suspose.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] fz798:
Make sure to use an SD card that you can afford to format during the process, as it will get boogered up with many partitions and you will have to format it before use. Suggest an old card then swap out to your good one before the final reboot step.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] Telemachus:
Thanks, I got a little card I use just for stuff like this. The bigger issue I recall is that the internal SD also gets wiped...

When the flop that was the Note 5 was released, I immediately started my search for DE to replace my 3 year old Note 2. I used an upgrade to get a N5 and sold it, then paid a premium $$ for the DE on Swappa.

3 months later the retail BL was unlocked. I immediately unlocked my wife's retail and have had a little bit of phone envy since then since hers was so cheap and works so well.

To think the Note 4 can be had in mint condition for ~ $230 on Swappa...

Hands down the best Verizon phone ever.

Looks about right to me. I've already made and restored nandroid backups using that TWRP. My only complaint so far with that version of TWRP is that although you can set the timezone, there doesn't appear to be a way to set the date/time, mine's off by one hour, so I had to fake out the timezone for now just so my nandroid backups would be timestamped "just exactly perfect"

IMHO, there's no reason NOT to get the Developer Edition, unless you need a subsidized device. If you are paying for it outright, then you might as well get the DE.
