How do I go about pledging money to this? I bought the Note 4 and want/need root. $30 for root. Love the phone but this is my first Android device that has been locked down. Help us out here plese!
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] DrSeussFreak:
Pledge Noted, Thanks.

At this time there is nowhere to send your pledge, it is on your word that you will pay it once permanent root has been achieved. Follow this thread for future updates.

Sorry I forgot to update. Moved to T Mobile whole account / business 20-something lines, saying that in case you are reading this Verizon you suck. Got tired of the slow update process and really didn't even need root just needed modern-day functionality. Sorry Verizon 6 month old updates don't get it.

Here's the deal... this thread is getting stale and I'm growing impatient. If there is no update on the efforts being made for a root method I'm jumping ship to a new phone and withdrawing my pledge.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] Ragnar:
[MENTION=5611597]Mrjonesandme[/MENTION]

Here is the DEAL with This thread.

This is not a discussion nor information thread.

This simply is to post a pledge or ask to remove it.

This is supposed to be a very stale thread. Please refrain from posting in this thread.

If you want information on root progress there are plenty of other threads for that.

[MENTION=4344364]DrSeussFreak[/MENTION] please remove his pledge as he is moving on.

Please remove the "ROOTED!" Image

I've pledged for root and still plan on paying it when real root happens because I plan on keeping my note 4 for a long time. I come to this thread in hopes that I will pay that bounty every week. I'm greeted with the breaking news banner and Rooted image sort of... can we remove these. The root we have is not acceptable and it shouldn't be acknowledged as breaking news or root worthy. Thank you.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] DrSeussFreak:
You are correct, thanks for this, it should be removed, and will be in the next few minutes.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] travelfeet:
Just bit the bullet and preordered a Nexus 6p 128gb. My thanks to those who have worked hard to crack this nut, but I am moving on. Please withdraw my pledge.

Sadly, Now selling both of my Note 4s, Purchased TwoPlus One. That being said please remove my pledge(s)... I believe it was $15 for root and $25 if it didn't trip knox....

Gonna hunt for a developer edition or another carrier, I've ridden out this pipe dream long enough. Remove my pledge, thanks.

why dont they just remove everybody and close the thread? it isnt gonna get rooted
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] scottsdca:
Let's be optimistic, people. Encourage the developers, not discourage.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] FMXP:
There aren't even any developers still working on rooting it are there? I mean are you guys even pledging money towards an active effort at this point? Who's even confirmed to still be working on it?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] oneandroidnut:
exactly my point. they gave up a long time ago

I pledge $100 for reboot-persistent Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note 4 root, I don't care about any Knox trip.

[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] DrSeussFreak:
Sorry, but I have serious doubt this is a valid pledge, if you wish to confirm that you would actually pay $10,000 for root, please let me know, otherwise I will not be recording this pledge.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] mexigga:
Agreed... Still have a small bit of hope left...:fingers-crossed:
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] scottsdca:
Looks like he was mocking the $100 pledge from the post before his. I'm still holding out hope for persistent root and roms. I like that this note had expandable memory and replaceable battery. Firefox is working for now, so I'll patiently wait. I'll pledge $20.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] DrSeussFreak:
and thanks for your service!
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] akneen:
DrSeussFreak, please up my pledge (vzw note4 persisitant root, don't care about knox) to $200. ($200 plus a $300 phone is till way cheaper than an increasingly rare $800-$1000 developer version)

I've put 0.75 BTC aside for it here (but would paypal/other if/when the time came, if the developer(s) preferred) : 1JZmqLcVLNWRfuSUXyUQHym3MBxLp7BY2T

I believe this is still possible (kernel mod?), just a lot of work, and it doesn't hurt to try to make it worthwhile for someone to want to work on it. (that's the whole point of this thread, if you disagree or want to discuss: there are other threads for that)

xdaDemiGod's is just wasting everybody's time, thanks for "contributing", kid.

I'll pledge $50 if you can obtain root soon better yet if it's done by Halloween I'll pledge $100 thanks so much and will someone notify us by email if and when root is obtained N910V?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] ucsdsig13:
Sorry, but please remove my pledge. I've sold my Note 4 and moved on to another device. Good luck guys.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] tntitan00:
I hate quitters phone isn't even a year old yet and people are selling it really?? There's not one single newer phone that is as capable as the note 4 and no that's not an opinion
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] Aussie1:
A fair enough comment under most circumstances but here we are more than one year since Verizon started selling this phone and those of us to buy through that carrier STILL cannot use this phone how we want to. And don't think I'm taking a pot shot at the Dev(s), I know they're doing their best to work this root. The problem now is that many people are already starting to think about their next phone and the delay in getting a proper root is probably motivating some people to consider this sooner than usual.

Mods, please put me down for $100 pledge.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] raduque:
OT:

If you don't need the S-Pen features, there are phones as or more capable.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] JimChagares:

[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] raduque:
6p is no-go because it lacks an SD card and wireless charging. I would consider the latest Motorolas. In fact, I just bought a Droid Turbo 2. The camera app is sparse and you can't replace the battery, but the leather back is sexy, the front speaker sounds great, and the "almost, 90% close, AOSP Android" flies on it. The app switcher is immediate, while on my N4 it's "count to 4" before it pops.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] wanb1i:
I went LG because the bootloader isn't locked, it has a removable battery & I can root it. Screw Samsung, I'll never buy another one!

[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] TheRealPorkchop:
Drop my pledge, this is ridiculous. I'm going back to iPhone.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] spocko:
Because you can root the iPhone? :confused:

Seriously, there may be valid reasons for switching, but lack of root on the Note 4 is not one of them.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] TheRealPorkchop:
Actually I gave up on the Note 4 and went to the S5 a long time ago. I've kept my pledge up long as I have just for hopes for the rest you. I've also had the iPhone 6 for awhile too which is jailbroke. I'm retracting my pledge for the Note 4. My S5 is rooted. I like both platforms and I switch often between the two but I'm a Mac guy and an Apple fan.

Count me with $20 on this. I dont care if it trips the knox... Just want to free my note 4.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] colin vermont:
Where will root be announced?

Please excuse what is probably a stupid question, will successful root be announced in an edited OP? (I really don't want to comb through 100 pages of "me too").

And am I safe in assuming that this is really the only forum I need to follow? (Google showed several "successful" root techniques, none of which bared scrutiny. And were there a successful root, I assume the bounty would be closed.)

Thanks in advance.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] DrSeussFreak:
I will be updating this thread once a permanent root has been achieved and confirmed. To-date, this has NOT happened, take a look here.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] Bunky011:
Theres a guy on youtube that shows he has permanent root on the VZW Note 4 on the latest BOG5 5.0.1 build. Hes had it since at least Halloween. But the douche bag doesnt tell how he got it. The video is at youtube. com/ watch?v=zgUXazdIZbY.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] scottsdca:
He's aware of that guy's claim and is ignoring him til he presents it to the community.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] DrSeussFreak:
So I have talked to that guy, right before halloween when he first mentioned this, my guess is that what you see is not what you get, due to the fact he disappeared from the scene afterwards. I have talked to EVERYONE who claims to have a root for this phone, and none of them have panned out, not a single one.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] ernestico911:
It seems like a fake guys. looks like the developer edition
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] DrSeussFreak:
And so it comes back to us waiting for confirmation. I am not even using this phone anymore, but I will continue to track progress, as I have been doing it for almost a year now, and it doesn't take much time.

Let's keep this thread on track though, please keep all future posts confined to pledges.

$50

I got a Note 2 recently, after my S3 gave out on me (probably about 6-8 months ago). S3 was rooted, and ended up FLYING out of my pocket..

Note 2 had a locked bootloader already when I got ahold of it, and did MANY MANY MANY hours of painful research. Now it's time to retire my Note 2, and was going to go for either the Note4 or the Note5..

It's a terrible shame that VZW has to screw us like this...

I wonder how many customers they've lost..

I used to work at ACS (Vzw call center) and wish I still did; I would've tried to transfer up the geeky chain..

We need this root... Badly...

---

Posted that reply on the Note5 bounty, but to be brutally honest with you guys, I don't care which one is done first. As soon as ONE of them is done, I'm ordering that one. If the Note4 gets done first, I'm buying it immediately.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] SCMeRollin:
Alsoooo... Interesting little tidbit of information.. Not that it helps developed a root for it, but still might help the dev's with learning about the device (if there is any to be done...)

Of course I can't post the link... Damn newbie title...

pledge change

It is with a heavy heart I'm now withdrawing my pledge.

I'm not into wearing tin foil hats, but the new policy google released for its TOS (they will update any app on your device regardless of your settings, updates section 3) and the fact that Verizon dealt us all a solid FU by locking the Note4 devices we bought (or edge subscribers eventually buy) in the first place, and the final nail in the coffin, where Verizon and their dirty greedy games have just raised the cost of the grandfathered unlimited data plan has sealed the deal for me.

I'll use my note 4 until it stops working properly, I'll pay the stupid fee hike Verizon laid on me (meanwhile I cancelled all our other services with them so they actually lost money in total instead of making more), and I'll choose a different device and carrier. Hopefully (no offense to the heart of the thread, others will read this writing on the wall and do the same).

If we hurt their pocket, only then will they listen. In the meantime, if we remain lemmings, we can only accept the destiny they direct us to.

Peace out, thank you.

[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] Eccoo:
Wow, that is crazy that you guys don't have root yet. I made a blunder by signing my father in law last year to verizon. I guess the 2 year discounted phone is what pushed him to go with verizon. I am with Tmobile and can't even imagine the phone unrooted. I will have him move over to tmobile and get a new phone.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] tonycstech:
Screw this. Note 4 is too bulky and I can't use it without accidently pressing dial or something else.

Going for s5 or s6.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] Wired4Fun:
Please remove my pledge as well. Like 'noybman' has stated, I too have grown disgusted with Verizon, for similar reasons, with their decision to lock down devices being the most frustrating.

As a side note, I've completely jumped ship and took my existing Verizon devices to Cricket Wireless, having done nothing more than swapping the SIM card. Since Cricket uses AT&T towers, my coverage has remained excellent, and I travel frequently. In addition my bill has dropped from $420 per month to $200 for 5 lines, all taxes included.

Good riddance, Verizon!
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] tonycstech:
This is so sad.

No one either interested in hacking that phone or not many people have note 4.

Allot more people have S5 so its bounty was thru the roof.

Note 4 owners may have more money on their hands, but their total count is nothing compare to S5 owners count thus bounty is lower.

I wonder how much did the towelroot creator actually received. Did he even get at least half of what was on the list ?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] mauza:
Remove my pledge

It is with a heavy heart that I too remove my pledge. I love this phone, but I'm with others that have said that Verizon has gone too far. I was going to keep this phone for a long time especially since it had a removable battery and an SD card slot. It is just a great phone, such a pity that Verizon crippled it. I'm probably going to go with a nexus on AT&T or are they as bad as verizon?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] Wired4Fun:
My understanding is that AT&T locks down their devices also.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] DrSeussFreak:
He isn't using AT&T, he is using Cricket, which uses the AT&T network
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] irelate2life:
Since kingroot updated and roots better and more divices, do you think downgrading to 4.4.4 again and using kingroot now will give perminent root to the retail edition of the Verizon note 4 instead of temporary root??

[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] EdrickMG:
Can I still put a contribution to whoever who achive this ?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] DrSeussFreak:
At this point, it is just a pledge, not a contribution, and I am going to close this thread soon, due to it being well over a year and no root. With so many new phones out there, I do not expect anyone to invest time into this device. That said, at this time it is still open, so if you want to make a pledge, I will record it.

Nowhere to send yet, all pledges get paid after root has been achieved. Don't let anyone trick you into sending money anywhere until this thread is updated and says who to pay.

im in

sign me up. i've had my note 4 for about 13 months. i've rooted and re-rom'd all my phones and tabs. (7 or 8 of them). Even the newer $50 amazon fire 7" tablet. the $35 amazon had during black friday was just an absolute steal. root and CM12 on that was fairly easy. The note4 aint perfect, but i love having the zerolemon 10k battery, although it weighs down my pants cuz its so heavy. the external sd card should be standard. even 6 months ago, i got 2 cheap samsung galaxy nexus phones (OG even). Im not sure how long i'll stay with samsung. i still love my note4. just a couple of years ago, if i had enough time to spare,i would have played around with investigating roms and possibly even trying my own. sign me up. $50 from me.

Been wanting to figure out this out with sm-n910v retail verizon edition badly. So far i've been able to achieve root on mine and be able to use adb shell as root but no success on keeping after reboot. Really isn't too hard though to get back in.
