It doesn't really matter as long as you flash the boot.img first. However it's always good practice to reboot first to ensure it works then root.

EDIT : Why did I get asked to do this if there wasn't going to be a any feedback? :rolleyes:
[Note Edge General] bert269:
Sorry, sorry

yes, I did flash this boot.img file and it seems to be working. THANK YOU!

I also reflashed everything with ODIN and then flashed the 2.61 root as supplied by ChainFire and that works also.

THANKS for your help - Sorry I did not respond earlier - life happened.

Take care

5.1.1

So Ive been looking everywhere and I cant seem to get a straight answer but I have a note edge (sm-n915p) on 5.1.1 and I cant seem to find a working root. always seem to soft brick myself. Is it not possible yet? Or am I just blind? haha Sorry if I am in the wrong place, Im new to forums. Well posting anyways.
[Note Edge General] bert269:
Strange - I got it working just fine

Flash the lastest COK2 rom with Odin.

Download TWRP ( https://dl.twrp.me/tbltetmo/ )

Download ChainFire's 2.61 Root ( http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=64161125&postcount=3 )

and flash with TWRP

If you want to know more about how this works, look at ChainFire's pages - very good stuff to read:

http://xdaforums.com/note-edge/general/easy-root-edge-phones-stock-kernel-to-t3266156

PS. I have not tried 2.62 yet - might get to try it today, but I had no problems with 2.61.

Welcome to root - let me know if you still have problems.

Sprint Version 5.1.1

So after reading them what I see Is that it seems to working for Most versions but I am on Sprint version 5.1.1

The only version Ive read to be working on here is the Sprint version on 4.4.4

Not sure if you were saying you have the same version as myself.

Just to be clear this will work on my Sprint note edge on 5.1.1?

Thank you for the reply, its much appreciated

PS: Where can I get the COK2 rom?
[Note Edge General] brucewayne408:
Nvm it works! :)

Should have just tried it in the first place.

I am officially rooted!

Thank you sir this was an easy way to root. UGH, so relieved haha

You need to remove the battery and then enter in Download mode ( press power key and volume button down and home button together ) .

Then, via odin program, flash your official rom of your device ( you can find it in the sammobile site).

Gd luck !

Is there be a Marshmallow - Ext SD Card Write Fix?
[Note Edge General] Moustachi:
There doesn't seem to be a root solution for T-Mobile's Note Edge USA (SM-N915T) on N915TUVUS2DPG2. I've tried CF Root, flashing CWM, and TWRP. I even tried downgrading it back to 5.1.1 via ODIN. Everything seems to brick the phone. I was wondering is there a root solution under my circumstances?
[Note Edge General] RutherfordScattering:
Having found a simpler way to root Marshmallow there appears to be no need for an SD fix.

1) Place SuperSU (2.79R3) zipfile in Edge memory

2) Using Odin (3.12) download TRWP (3.1) tar.

3) On reboot put in recovery mode.

4) Flash SuperSU (2.79R3)

5) Wipe Dalvik and Reboot

6) Profit
[Note Edge General] RutherfordScattering:
So I have my Marshmallow Note Edge (SM-N915T) rooted. I could not follow the process so I made so changes to the versions of the files and skipped the whole CF-ROOT thing.

I used Odin 3.12, SuperSU (SR3-SuperSU-v2.79-SR3-20170114223742), TWRP (TWRP-3.1.0_for_915T_915W8(can).tar) {this is an Odin version of TWRP 3.1.0} on Marshmallow ROM (N915TUVS2DQE2_N915TTMB2DQE2_N915TUVS2DQE2_HOME.tar)

Odin -> DQE2 ROM

reboot

Odin -> TWRP

reboot into Recovery

TWRP -> SuperSU

reboot

Profit: Rooted latest 6.0.1 SM-N915T
[Note Edge General] octavia:
I'd been using this method for a long time but now SU prompts me to update my root but every time I get an Unsuccessful message. The message is:

The SU binary needs to be updated!

But I always get that "SU update unsuccesful" message. I just re-installed the process from this thread but I keep getting the same issues. Apparently I'm still rooted so should I disregard that message?

http://download.chainfire.eu/619/CF-Root/CF-Auto-Root/CF-Auto-Root-tbltetmo-tbltetmo-smn915t.zip

After that, flashed twrp

Then from within twrp flashed SuperSU 2.16

**NOTE** THE METHOD I USED HAS NOT BEEN PROVEN STABLE, AS WITH ALL ROOTING, AT YOUR OWN RISK**
[Note Edge General] CottonCreeper:
I can confirm Root and TWRP are both working for me. I rebooted 10 times and didn't lose root. I did it while ART was enabled, which I wouldn't recommend anyone try. It takes a long time to optimize the apps and makes the whole process take longer. I'm so excited about being able to restore my Titanium Backups and getting rid of this bloat:D!!!

root ok, google play not working, phone lags 2-5 secs and twrp mount error

hi, today i've rooted my sm-n915t... and root was ok but, google play store does not download apps or updates, it shows progress barr stuck or moving with no progress.... and sometimes shows error 961, and besides it has a lag... about 2-5 seconds when using... in any app or launcher (tried touchwiz, google launcher and apex), and at last, i have seen when looking for a solutuion to reset to factory and when reseting to factory or reseting dalvik and cache it shows a red "unable to mount /cache" (look attached picture) in twrp... when factory reset was done.. i setup all phone again and even in setup it lags too... i think its a common problem i think i have had on my note 2.. do you have any help?

thanx in advance

update 1 : now, after factory reset apps are all in que and no one download :(

update 2: actually apps are downloading and installing after factory reset, but y takes about 10 minutes per app to finish.... web browsing and all internet activity is fine... now only have lags on menu moving and slow app download/install... repeat... its not a slow internet problem... speed test on 4g is 15mb and wifi 25 mb and web browsing and youtube works fine

My play store would lock up at about 60% downloaded for about a min then would progress, try rebooting and reflashing the SuperSU file again, once I flashed mine a second time the lag issues went away... otherwise, not sure what might be causing your issue

Freezing S Health and Health services is what fixed all these issues for me (including the Playstore download / install issues.)

Thanks to Pieces of Cake for pointing this out to me. I believe Wanam Exposed addresses these issues the easiest. Look at the last item under Security Hacks, "Disable Secure Storage"

Hi, I've followed everything here. I am rooted, it is sticking, etc. My problem is that now when I try to run a program that requires SU permission, the box comes up asking me to deny or grant but it is totally unresponsive to me pressing either button and then just times out. I went back into twrp and reinstalled the chainfires superuser zip, rebooted and still have the same unresponsive dialog when I try to run a program requiring su. It did work at some point as I was able to grant su to titanium and xposed module... Any thoughts? Thanks

[MENTION=4107827]TEKHD[/MENTION] am having problems with rooting the N915G with the CF-root file on chainfire's site. Was wondering if I could use the same methods you have posted to fix the issues. Basically having the same "failed" to flash problem. I was hoping that if I could get hold of the right twrp-recovery for this model (maybe using the note 4-twrp recovery zip with Sprint), and perhaps a similar fix for the external SD (I hadn't look into this yet), your method could very well work for the problems I have?

Any thoughts?

Update: fixed
[Note Edge General] TEKHD:
Well, I really can't tell you which TWRP you can use but what I can tell you is... As long as you have the stock Odin Firmware from Samsung, for your N915G... You are safe... You can try anything you want... you might soft-brick your Edge... But nothing to worry... A battery removal and Stock Odin Flash will recover you...

[Note Edge General] TEKHD:
No... Sorry... AT&T users have absolutely no chance of this working... AT&T locks the bootloader, no know root method is available at this point in time, and probably never to be honest. That's why AT&T users buy the T-Mobile variant... so they can root, have custom recovery and flash.

[Note Edge General] leekslk:
[MENTION=4107827]TEKHD[/MENTION] I can confirm that the above method also works for N915G. I gained root after failing to flash the CF-root, followed similar instructions to flash the TWRP-recovery meant for tmo, boot into recovery to flash the superuser.zip +sdcard fix.zip.

All good. Thanks! On a separate note, I seem to be having some strange problems restoring / freezing application in titanium backup. Batch backup worked fine though. (working fine after updating su binary and running in dalvik)

Running the Note Edge in ART mode just for kicks. everything seems to work too. The hassle is everytime I restart, android optimises some 48 applications (presumably the Samsung-related bloats)

Is there no way around that? I would have loved to get the Tmobile variant but I have a plan with ATT and was able to get it on installment billing. I can't afford the price of the phone up front. I just picked up the phone yesterday. Do you have a suggestion on getting the Tmobile version? And if the bootloader is locked does that really mean it will NEVER be broken?
[Note Edge General] thachosenone:
Lol...installment billing....Like expensive tmobile jump. Hopefully you have a grandfathered data plan otherwise you're paying soooo much more for no reason, or you're in a rural area where att is your only real option.

And locked bootloader usually means no custom recovery, like ever. Correct me if I'm wrong, but it's much like the boot partition on a computer. Att just locks theirs down tight.
[Note Edge General] jabreu203:
You can still have root without unlocking the bootloader, correct?
