Well the kingroot app itself has an option to uninstall bloatware and I've been able to uninstall Verizon crap mostly even the annoyed message of this sim is not Verizon I was able to uninstall it

Also the app that block tethering and I can tell it works fine... I'm in Brazil with a local carrier and I was able to use tethering I dunno of other people were unable to achieve this
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] will4958:
Not sure if you have need of tethering or not, but you may want to check out FoxFi. There may be a way to get the built-in hot spot to work with temp root, but for someone like me who's only Internet connection at home is through his phone, FoxFi is just more reliable. It's in the Google Playstore and is just under $8 for the full version, with a light version that cuts out after 500 megs of use if you want to try it first. I use it every day, and it's always worked very well.

[MENTION=4130080]b1ggjoe[/MENTION] I can read Arabic and they stated on their page that they achieved root and made custom rom which Arabic language is added and ready to be flashed into note 4 and a list of shops where you can go and have rom flashed.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] b1ggjoe:
Wow, how awesome is that! Just walk down to the local phone shop and get rooted and a new custom ROM flashed. That is sweet! I hope what they are saying is true. I wonder why they wouldn't release the Note4 Root already so that they could collect the bounty??

J.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] EdrickMG:
It's been discussed before, they are in Yemen not possible to PayPal them, also they don't search fame, they want people in Yemen go to their stores, if they publish to everyone where is the profit to them??? I know it's weird but that's the way it is
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] b1ggjoe:
Aaah ok, that makes sense. I wonder how much they charge to root? Can't we just send them Bitcoin?

J.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] EdrickMG:
Yes and no, it's not that simple, if it's a tool either they receive donation of everyone.. Or just a few, the advantage of being physically in Yemen you take the equipment and they don't share the code... They do it you don't know how... If you receive the executable anyone could decompile and use it without pay is the same of author's protection, we can't collect a bounty of something we haven't seen with our own eyes... That's the problem
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] b1ggjoe:
I see, yeah...that makes sense. Hopefully all this means that we will in fact have root soon. This other guy here on XDA claims that it will be released soon:

[MENTION=4130080]b1ggjoe[/MENTION] don't be so impatient, we have been waiting for a month now.... If doesn't seem they will release it soon they are waiting local market increase, like you already saw note 3 was a mess, some Egyptian guy release it before, like a leak and both teams were fighting for authors and credit
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] PaulPizz:
Is this going to be released soon? Or at all?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] DR_CDMA:
We'll discuss it with the team members if the agreement and approval of the release of your root will be downloaded and shared with everyone
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] EdrickMG:
We all are ready to deliver money (bounty) through bitcoin PayPal whatever to transfer the money you deserve it!! I promised 20 dollars but the bounty of the group it's up to 7, 500 dollars... Just tell your team about it... If it's real you will receive it for sure!!!
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] howellcp:

[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] axeldiks1:
Sounds promising but you guys should hurry up because a lot of users in USA switched to s7 edge , I did. While the bounty is still high you guys should take it for your well deserved job. Don't gent me wrong it's only my opinion but to be honest longer you wait more people will.switch to s7 edge
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] Tinytox:
Lock me in for $150. (edit: Verizon retail, SMN910VZKE compliant)

While I refuse to commit to any further input, if it is done within a a month or two, I may be inclined to donate further (potentially doubling my investment).

Obviously if this goes on too long, I may get a new device. I really expected Retail note 4s to come rooted.

If you are planning on releasing this in the near future, sooner would be better than later.

God speed.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] sixtythreechevy:
bounty

Hi,

Thanks for your work and for considering us!

I will also double my bounty commitment of $25 to $50 if released sooner rather than later (a month?). Don't want to sound demanding, as that is not my intent. Just anxious to have a decent phone with root.

Many thanks and Praise be to God!

[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] gersrt:
Im not sure about all of this. DR_CDMA has 2 donation links in his profile including a paypal. So why are people entertaining the argument that it may be hard for them to take donations. This does not appear to be the/an issue.

Sprint is updating galaxy note 4 to marshmallow, in Verizon will take another months hope release of root come first to make a secure update
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] Tinytox:
I'm still rocking 4.4.4, of course afraid that the root might be OS based when it comes out. I'd personally just continue to defer the updates whenever possible.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] foreverinpanama:
Can't wait. Count me in for 25 by any preferred method you guys choose.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] mexigga:
[MENTION=4344364]DrSeussFreak[/MENTION], not sure what my pledge was but put me in for $25, should this pan out to be true...

Ok, $50.01.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] noybman:
pulled & convo

Perhaps I have no business speaking at all, mainly because I gave up hope of waiting for root and officially pulled my pledge, but.....

I remained subscribed to the thread in hopes that if a root was released and met the terms of the bounty I would still pony up. The issue is that someone comes along and pulls at people's emotions which in effect drives up bounty pledges artificially since it is clear that many people following this thread are impatient and don't respect it's rules.

Since I get email notifications I'd prefer to smile and nod in respect to those that are pulling and adding their pledge/support but it's irritating to read all these off topic thread posts and I get the feeling the moderator gave up too since the thread seems to need policing and is lacking it.

Please stop unless you are pledging.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] kerfex:
I will not pledge unless this is actually released. I don't believe it will be. I if it is and it is before I dump this last Samsung product I ever buy; I will pledge an amount. But I will not commit to any pledge or amount until it has been released. I am due for early upgrade on July 1st. So at the rate things have gone for this phone, I will be getting something new and switching networks. F Verizon.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] angelsix:
I pledge $50. (That's a total of $25 for the root itself, and $25 for FU Samsung & Verizon.)

(It's probably covered somewhere, but is this all I have to do to pledge? I guess DrSeussFreak is monitoring the thread and updating the totals manually. If not, please feel free to send me instructions beginning with the words "If you doubled your intelligence and had two functioning brain cells, you would have found the answer to this at ....")
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] wkpaul2000:
Can note 4 be rooted or not I have the Verizon unlocked version
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] rhilway:
No, not unless you have a developer edition. There is a temp root for retail note 4 vzw, but it's limited and lost after reboot.

If you read you'll see someone has claimed they found root, but not released yet(maybe never will be?)

google yemen android and translate the page in chrome.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] w00ly:
​

I've found their forum this way and found info on the note 3 root but I haven't seen any word about the note 4 have you?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] rhilway:
I thought I read that someone saw it. I just tried and it's not easy to navigate the forum after translation. Isn't there a picture in this thread somewhere of proof?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] EdrickMG:
Ok I belive this thread is made to post a pledge in case root has found... According with moderator and some users.... Policy on this thread is to pledge to bounty,

There are other threads to discuss any further collaboration of Yemen team or others... Thanks

[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] wkpaul2000:
What's a developer edition and how can you tell
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] thunderblaster88:
It's an unlocked bootloader right from Samsung of the phone..helps developers with apps, unlocks, etc..
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] manbat:
If you don't know .....you probably don't have one. To most "unlocked" means SIM unlocked.

[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] catalyst05:
are you talking engilish araby? i didnt understand anything
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] dracozny:
English isn't his native language. Basically, in a nutshell, Yemen team (DroidYemen & AndroiAlyemen) claims they are the only ones that can root all versions of the Note 4. BUT, they will not release it publicly due to local market demands. they actually sell a service in Yemen for installing local Arabic language supported roms.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] w00ly:
I wonder if it'd be possible to send them a note 4 to root?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] PapaDocta:
He means they are the only team who successfully achieved root and this time it won't leak like the note 3's did.

They are not going to release it to us yet and by that they mean they won't release it period.

Let's move on and hope the bootloader unlock would work.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] rrjskj:
From my understanding and from talking to obaidi2005 in pm they already have one
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] dracozny:
That's not what he meant. He's talking about shipping his phone to them so they will root it for him.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] rrjskj:
Ok gotcha I guess it couldn't hurt to pm them .

[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] sixtythreechevy:
Woohoo! That is great news. I will gladly pay my bounty to them.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] kerfex:
Don't you believe it

I will believe it when I see it. And from the past 2 years, I don't believe we will see it. I hope I'm wrong. And if they don't Hurry, they will not get the bounty. I think the guys in the WIP thread trying to change the CID and match aboot.mbn will beat them to it.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] rrjskj:
I'm gonna agree with you on the first part but maybe if team Yemen does release root it would quite possibly help with obtaining bootloader unlock as well seeing how in s5 thread they are using both methods .
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] PaulPizz:
I got my retail note 4 into developer mode!!!!! There are a few things i need to figure out before the method is released. This is a huge step!

[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] Aussie1:
Very happy to see this. I had actually given up and was planning to go to iPhone for my next phone after years of disappointing Android support. You guys have thrown me a life-line :good:
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] thunderblaster88:
Why would you switch to the iPhone? That's worst then being locked down on an android.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] Aussie1:
I was planning to switch because of the way US carriers lock down their phones and the complete lack of support from them with regard to updates etc. This Note 4 is a prime example. I love it but can't do many of the things I wanted to do with it. iOS has finally caught up enough to meet my needs and without me having to jump through hoops. Plus there are regular updates, security patches etc. that are actually delivered, as opposed to the rarely fulfilled promise of the same level of service in the Android arena. I've always been an Android user and considering a switch to iOS is not something I take lightly.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] thunderblaster88:
I get it, Ive been an android person since day one and have never wanted an iPhone. Yeah it sucks wit how they only update the phone for 2 years then it's pretty much forgotten about but I can't not get into the iPhone, I think the os and ui is so boring and plan, I love ou r widgets we can get as well. I was just wondering, not often do you see someone on here say anything about and iPhone.

http://xdaforums.com/note-4-verizon/general/note-4-verizon-bootloader-unlock-t3358913

Congrats for all the Verizon users now have a bootloader unlock

As also sad day for us AT&T users for not being able to use this...

And also looks like the Yemen developers lost out on half the bounty... they can still obtain the N910A half... but they better hurry!
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] DrSeussFreak:
Still have not seen anything about official and permanent root...
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] nemopsp:
Well keep an close eye on it. I'm pretty sure it works as people have already installed TWRP(as they claim).

But you can wait for video proof and all. Shouldn't be to long and someone should post it. Like a how-to video
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] DrSeussFreak:
as the owner of both the AT&T and Verizon root bounty threads, I will not post success until I have seen a video proving permanent root with additional confirmations from people not collecting the bounty.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] nemopsp:
I 100% agree with your decision. :) just wanted you to know it's there and they use temp root / kingroot to adb push and run those files and it turn a retail Verizon Note 4 into a developer edition.

Once in developer mode than the bootloader is unlocked run CF-AUTO Root by Chainfire and have permanent root or install TWRP and install SuperSU that way.

I post this information to explain how it obtains a permanent root and the SAMDUNK exploit is used to make this possible. Thanks [MENTION=711482]beaups[/MENTION] for this exploit

Would the Dev an retail have the same model number? Also would he have the Dev images yet?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] Tikerz:
I don't know. According to Samsung the model number for DEV edition is really long lol.

valid

and most importantly

permanent

Now, as to the matter of all of your pledges. Collecting pledges will be @ryanbg. @beaups has very graciously said to only pay @ryanbg. So as you are paying up, don't forget to thank them both, but congratulate @ryanbg for this as well as the news that he is getting married. I have been in talks with @ryanbg and his paypal e-mail address is attestation28@gmail.com. So please send your pledges over and enjoy your root with unlocked bootloader!

Last thing, if anyone wishes to donate to both the responsible parties, once you have paid @ryanbg, any donations for @beaups, please send a donation to the "Make a Wish Foundation"
