Does the root method for the Note 4 also apply to the Japanese version of the Note Edge? I'm looking to pick up a Docomo Note Edge....
[Note Edge General] UpInTheAir:
Who knows, this thread is reference to the Korean "S" model that I intend to support.

Wait for confirmation or risk a brick yourself.

Can someone confirm the root for sm-n915s?
[Note Edge General] dtosun:
I m waiting for answer. Anybody knows can i change n915s rom with other? I could not use SK Telekom Rom:(
[Note Edge General] UpInTheAir:
Post in Q&A where your "question" belongs.

It's OT and nothing to do with my general statement of intention to develop this beast (when I get my hands on it).

I'm going to start taking a look at kernel sources sometime today/tomorrow, so I get a head start before the device arrives (Friday? )
[Note Edge General] invisiblesense:
Can someone please explain if this website is showing how to root Note Edge SM-N915S?

Root or no root, I can tell you one thing for sure, that I won't be downloading and running any .exe file from there......

Is it SK Telekom rom or Samsung Official rom?

Nothing is too urgent to risk it. My device is in FedEx transit.
[Note Edge General] invisiblesense:
You're so right, its not that urgent at all.

When do you get your phone delivered?
[Note Edge General] UpInTheAir:
Who knows, this is Phuket Thailand. .... :sly:

Already downloaded, extracted and setup git with kernel source. Took forever since connection is so slow and interrupted/restart DL many times due to Internet issues and power cuts. ... Only took 20 hours :) Users don't even appreciate/realise that aspect and trouble it can be.

Got a promise to take care of and build a CM kernel for the SM-T800 while waiting for the Edge device. FedEx tracking says delivery today, but doubt it.....
[Note Edge General] invisiblesense:
That's very exciting news! It's true, you guys put in so much of your time & effort in creating things that many people take for granted.

FedEx were accurate with my tracking information, it said I should expect delivery by 6pm Thursday 6 November and it came slightly ahead of time. Here's hoping you get yours tomorrow. ☺

UpInTheAir,

Just checking, will you be trying to change the rom from Korean version to an international one?

My phone is missing some edge panels I really wanted, wonder if there is any way I can get hold of these from an Europe firmware?

Thanks.
[Note Edge General] UpInTheAir:
I did say that a ROM is NOT on my to-do list (I don't have time for it). Have downloaded the firmware package though because I need to extract the ramdisk from the boot.img. We would need root first by a "safe" means. Methods to try:

a) Cf-Autoroot (port or official)

b) TWRP recovery

c) Odin flashable pre-rooted firmware

d) root kernel

e) other ?
[Note Edge General] dtosun:
I need to change my Korean rom with international rom. There are alot of apps useless.
[Note Edge General] dtosun:
When i try it in my device, it does not work? I m looking for other metod to root :(
[Note Edge General] milanvot:
I have successfully rooted my Korean SM-N915S (Olleh, Exynos 5) using CF-Auto-Root for Note 4 (SM-N910S) . It doesn't mean I advice everyone to do the same ;)
[Note Edge General] invisiblesense:
That's excellent news! Is there any instructions somewhere that I could use. I haven't rooted a phone for about 2 years so I'm not that confident rooting atm.

Thanks.
[Note Edge General] milanvot:
... then being you I will wait till others confirm it's a save way of rooting :)
[Note Edge General] UpInTheAir:
For confirmation;

please post a screen shot of root success of a root checker app having su access.

Also, please check you can boot into stock recovery.

Thanks
[Note Edge General] milanvot:
Yes, I can enter the stock recovery but it's note 4 stock recovery. It was expected due to CF-Auto-Root for note 4 being used. It can be reflashed later when a stock sm-n915k odin firmware is released...
[Note Edge General] invisiblesense:
Can you confirm that your device is the SM-N915S because on the screen it says SM-N915K.

Congratulations on managing to root your edge.

Thanks.
[Note Edge General] milanvot:
Please accept my apologies. I'm stupid. I made a copy & paste error. I have a SM-N915K (not S) and I have used a CF-Auto-Root for SM-N910K (not S) to root the device...
[Note Edge General] invisiblesense:
That's OK.

I wonder if this method would work on the S model?
[Note Edge General] milanvot:
I believe if it works for K variant it should work for S variant as well (they have both Exynos SOC). But one should use Note 4 CF-Auto-Root for the same variant. (use SM-N910K CF-Auto-Root for SM-N915K and SM-N910S CF-Auto-Root for SM-N915S). That was an idea I originally planned to express before I fu... up my post. I was aware I'm referencing SM-N915K in a SM-N915S forum...
[Note Edge General] UpInTheAir:
I'm fairly certain it will work. Only speaking from kernel sources though, i have diff the S <> K and no different except for hash code XCBC enabled for S and WIFI default region code.

The firmware package is out for S and K from sammobile.com. just extract the recovery.img and flash via many ways. Tarball with Odin, DD, Rashr app.

Without comparing the firmware fully, and still unable to test myself (device stuck with FedEx) until Monday evening, I cannot guarantee !

As far as kernel goes, anyone have a Exynos dtbTool binary for

Exynos, the Qualcomm one doesn't find any dtb.img after compile. We need this tool of we are to progress to repack a custom zImage into a booting boot.img
[Note Edge General] invisiblesense:
Thanks for this. I will see how things go in the next few days in terms of root.

By the way, would your model have the same software as mine? Im thinking more of the edge panels.

---------- Post added at 11:30 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:26 PM ----------

Thanks for the info.

Shame that your device is still stuck with FedEx.
[Note Edge General] milanvot:
Are you speaking about SM-N915? I can't find any firmware for SM-N915K at sammobile.com. Only for S and other variants...
[Note Edge General] UpInTheAir:
You are correct, I am wrong, I thought I saw it when I DL the S firmware, but it's not yet available for K at samsung-updates or sammobile

EDIT : If you need the stock N915 "S" recovery.img , I also have it a tarballed if you wish to flash via Odin. Just let me know
[Note Edge General] dtosun:
Let me know, ca i use your root method with my device? My device is SM- N915s. Can share a link or instruction to do it.
[Note Edge General] RedBirds:
CF-AUTO-root for N910S is not working to N915S...

I do my N915S, and It makes impossible booting.
[Note Edge General] dtosun:
Your device is working again, if yes how? Somebody was said it is working good.
[Note Edge General] RedBirds:
I do re-writing Stock Firmware.

And then my N915S is working again.
[Note Edge General] dtosun:
What about knox? It was counted? Is it possible to install N915K rom to our device?
[Note Edge General] RedBirds:
Knox WARRANTY was Cracked...

And I have not N915K Firmware, I have N915S Firmware.
[Note Edge General] dtosun:
I have also N915 s device. But i could not use korean rom:( I should root my device to uninstall sk telekom apps.
[Note Edge General] UpInTheAir:
I can now confirm successful root of my SM-N915 "S". I have edited the OP with a brief method and screen-shots.
[Note Edge General] dtosun:
Sure, you are wonderfull :)

---------- Post added at 12:46 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:39 PM ----------

Do you have any bad side effect to device when using note 4 recovery. Can i change it later with original.
[Note Edge General] UpInTheAir:
As I said in OP, there shouldn't be a problem, but, no guarantee. I didn't test factory reset or any wipe functions etc. I have now flashed SM-N915 "S" stock recovery, but it shows an error about unable to mount system. I'll take a look later, but doesn't affect the working ROM ;)
[Note Edge General] dtosun:
Can i go back to install origional rom via odin?
[Note Edge General] UpInTheAir:
There shouldn't be any issue with that. I do have the firmware, but as I've only had the device for a couple hours ........................ not tested

I'm not sure if the official firmware package (from sammobile or samsung-updates) is wipe or no wipe. Always backup any important data just in case ;)
[Note Edge General] invisiblesense:
Genius! This is fantastic news!!! :good:

Will you be removing all sk telecom bloatware?

Can you please tell me if there a rom extractor application that I can use to extract apks that I need from one of the firmware available on sammobile?

Regards.

---------- Post added at 12:52 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:50 PM ----------

By the way, would the rooting instructions work on a Macbook pro?
[Note Edge General] UpInTheAir:
I'm no genius, that's reserved for Chainfire :) I just tested what might work .......... I was in the process of trying to create a root kernel, but no need now.

Have started on a custom kernel built from source and have successfully flashed on my device, can't be bothered with a screenshot right now. Just trying to understand some differences between 5433 and 5420 ............ Some ramdisk edits don't seem to work as before, but maybe due to KNOX that I didn't disable before flashing the kernel. Lots of fun ahead :)

I would recommend installing busybox and titanium backup (pro) to freeze (delete later if happy) the KNOX applications etc, otherwise subjected to security warnings

The apks will be odexed and installed in data/app, preload/, system/app/, system/app-private, and maybe CSC. You shouldn't mix de-odex and odexed apks. I would suggest to look for a ROM from Note4 such as Wanam's ROM which is odexed, download the ROM, unzip and find the apks.

For now, I'm just freezing what I don't need.

Edit: I've never used a MBP, sorry

Any other questions on this or not directly related to the OP topic, please post in Q&A where it belongs. Thanks
[Note Edge General] RedBirds:
Using the N910K CF-Root, but still failed to boot.

My N915S was just on boot screen, infinitely.

Really just flashing N910K CF-Root, is it all?
[Note Edge General] UpInTheAir:
My device is rooted as described in OP ................. Why would I lie about it or leave anything pertinent out ?
[Note Edge General] RedBirds:
I don't think that you are a liar.

But I don't know why mine was on boot screen infinitely...

So I want compare my step with your step, Maybe if I was missed point.
[Note Edge General] dtosun:
My device is rooted also as described in OP. Thank you so much. At the moment i need to have add my language to my rom, but i dont know how can i do? Anybody know it?
[Note Edge General] invisiblesense:
OK, thanks for your advice. At least a few people have now rooted their N915S model. Credit to you for putting your phone at risk and sharing your experience with others on here.

As for the Note 4 rom, I needed some apks for the edge panel that my phone doesn't have. :good:
[Note Edge General] UpInTheAir:
Yep, I was just one hour old before root. A longgggggg wait for the battery to charge 100% before first power on :D Usually I wait a day or so to make sure all is well, but this time I didn't bother with the most expensive device I've ever imported :eek:
[Note Edge General] invisiblesense:
Did you notice any increase in the available free RAM after freezing all the unnecessary apps since rooting?
[Note Edge General] UpInTheAir:
I haven't yet frozen everthing needed, just s few things and all the KNOX stuff. If the app hasn't/isn't running, there would not be any "saved" free RAM.

TBH, been way too busy with family and building a cutom KERNEL for 5433. As it's HMP, different to IKS.. As current CPU control apps don't seem to show the big core freq, I have implemented kernel Synapse app compatibility up and running now and able to change big and LITTLE cores frequencies. Just need to test with Wanam's DVFS Disabler app so settings aren't changed by Samsung DVFS. Will take a look at CPU OC next and test a few other things added into Synapse and source.

As you can see, I'm not too concerned with ROM side of things ;)
[Note Edge General] invisiblesense:
Thanks. Can see you have a lot on your plate atm. :)

I know this isn't the questions thread but I want ask you: If I root now and want to unroot e phone in the future, would this be possible?
[Note Edge General] UpInTheAir:
Of course. Easiest to just use the "full unroot" option in SuperSU settings.

To return device status back to normal (instead of custom), you might need to flash a full official firmware package immediately after factory reset. (Back up data off device or to external sdcard first).
[Note Edge General] invisiblesense:
That's great, thanks!
[Note Edge General] tossero:
May anyone , please ,confirm that the korean version of Galaxy Edge will function on european networks ?

[Note Edge General] invisiblesense:

[Note Edge General] tossero:
Thank you !

Is the phone branded ? Any shortcomings ?

Cheers~
[Note Edge General] invisiblesense:
Yes it has LTE-A written on the back cover, also the boot up screen has SK Telecom splash logo. In terms of shortcomings, it has some sk telecom apps pre installed, most I was able to uninstall but a few wouldn't so I hid them. My main issue is the Korean news and sports panels, I can't use them co its in korean language. I wish they'd just left the yahoo panels on.

The phone is otherwise outstanding! I have youtube videos of unboxing, impressions and of the flip wallet.

[Note Edge General] leekslk:
hello there [MENTION=3511708]UpInTheAir[/MENTION], do you think I could use the same technique but using SM-N910G (Asia, Qualcomm): CF-Auto-Root-trlte-trltedt-smn910g.zip

for my N915G that's arriving on Friday? = P

Just curious. I understand that the current root appears to be using the Note -exynos equivalent, just wondering if the same would be applicable for the Snapdragons. Any tips would be appreciated! Else I guess we'll just have to wait for the official root from [MENTION=631273]Chainfire[/MENTION].
[Note Edge General] UpInTheAir:
I don't have device so impossible to comment.

[Note Edge General] leekslk:
that's OK. I'll give it a go on Friday and report back. Worst-case scenario is to wipe back to stock firmware isn't it?

I am not new to rooting and flashing roms but this has really stumped me. I'm on a rooted sprint note 4. I'm running the Bonsai stock rom with TWRP recovery. I absolutely cannot factory reset or wipe or even format from recovery anymore. No matter what I do. It appears to wipe but the current rom loads back anyway. I am totally perplexed. Only thing I can think of is maybe a virus. Has gotten a hold. Any help would be most appreciated.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lovekeiiy:
I'm not fully clear on what you're saying. Sound like you can get into recovery, but no of the wipe functions of TWRP are working.

Was TWRP working before? If so, than maybe something you flashed corrputed the custom recovery. I two suggestions. 1) reflash TRWP via Odin. That may fix the custom recovery, without wiping the phone. If that doesn't work, 2) Odin the stock tar file so that phone is just like when you got it, excpet knox counter tripped; this is already tripped so it's not causing anything new. Then just reflash via Odian CF-autoroot and TWRP. Something you just have to start to from step one. Hopefully, you either have a nandroid or backed up your apps via Titanium Backup.
