So does this work for the SM-N915A, or the ATT variant? Every version I have tried thus far, have not bricked fortunately, but odin fails every time and the download screen on the device warps and breaks up horribly.

I'm just looking for root to remove bloatware, and increase battery life.

[Note Edge General] lucarp78:
On samsung kies 3 select "Tools --> Firmware Upgrade and Initialisation" and follow the instructions.

It will ask for phone model (SM-N915FY or other) and for Serial Number S/N, this number is indicated under the battery (make attention to insert the number near S/N not near SSN).

After this It will ask to connect the phone in Download Mode and after it will start to download the firmware (more than 1GB) and will start the installation.

That recovery won't give root. Only re-flash stock recovery. Chainfire needs to modify your stock recovery for CF-Auto Root

No news. But here is described a method for root the SM-N915FY. I'm trying it. Someone knows this site? Is reliable?

It's seems not, because the site indicates to download the cf-auto-root of SM-N915F ........ :(

---------- Post added at 08:18 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:50 PM ----------

Based on article that I reported in the previous post, It's seems that the version of cf-auto-root for SM-N915F is capable of root also the rom N915FYXXU1ANK4 for the SM-N915FY. I'm downloading the ROM, released in the last day at samsung-updateds.com (my actual version is NJ4), and after flashed it I will try to root.

Odin reports "Complete(Write) operation failed"

Well, I've been through this several times and I feel like I'm doing everything right...but Odin reports FAIL :(

First time through, I realized that I had downloaded and loaded the Note4 CF file, rather than the Note4 EDGE CF file. I panicked a bit there...to be honest. Then I downloaded the stock firmware image from sammobile and used Odin to re-flash that. Everything booted up fine. Downloaded the correct CF file from this thread and set Odin to work on it, fully confident of success.

But it was not to be...I see the same thing: Odin reports "Complete(Write) operation failed." . Again, no problem restoring the stock image. Well, I take that back - ONCE I received the same message when loading the stock image. That was a bit worrisome. It was 1 out of 5 or 6 times. I'm back up and running now with the stock firmware, but am left wondering why it is failing for me when it has been successful for others.

The file I loaded was: CF-Auto-Root-tbltetmo-tbltetmo-smn915t.zip from the link at the beginning of this thread. I've tried both with the included Odin 3.07 and with Odin 3.09. I tried unzipping it with 4 different tools (windows, 7-zip, WinRAR and a port of linux unzip running in MobaXTerm...think Cygwin). I even tried a different USB cable (obviously grasping at straws). Not sure what else I should try.

Is there a common cause for the Odin write failures? Here is the complete output:

TIA!

Chris

BTW, the device is the TMobile NE4 (SM-N915T). If it matters, I'm running on Win7/64. Given that I can re-flash the stock firmware without an issue, that seems irrelevant, but I'd be thrilled to be proven wrong, if it gets me root :)

---------- Post added at 07:21 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:10 AM ----------

It is also worth mentioning that I downloaded the file twice. Checked the MD5sum on both...all checked out.

I'm mystified as to what I'm doing that is different from anyone else. But I do have one additional datapoint: I also cannot flash the OEM firmware using Odin 3.07. Works find using 3.09.

So users know,....

1. Did you make sure reactivation lock is disabled in your device settings/security?

2. What version of Odin?

3. Did you try another?

4. Did you check the MD5 checksum to ensure your download is not corrupted?
[Note Edge General] treoking:
1. Reactivation lock = OFF

2. Odin 3.07 (incluided in zip)

3. Tried two times with same result.

4. Checksum was OK. I tried in two different computers with two different downloads.

The micky387's method was OK...
[Note Edge General] UpInTheAir:

I got stuck using these instructions to root my T-Mobile Note 4 Edge - I encountered Odin FAIL (see quote from my previous post, below). I found this thread over here that acknowledged this problem and included what to do (it is apparently quite normal). So if you are also having this problem, forget this thread and head over here.
[Note Edge General] UpInTheAir:
Now, if you'd bothered to just read the OP, you wouldn't have had any problem in the first place, and having to post a useless post here. ....

The link you posted is already in OP !!!
[Note Edge General] merrill77:
Yes, it says:

"SM-N915T (USA > T-Mobile) Try UNOFFICIAL >> EASY STEPS [NK3] SM-N915T -> CF-ROOT -> TWRP RECOVERY -> FIX -> CWM OPTIONAL -> Done!"

So, I see it says that I could try this UNOFFICIAL instructions over there, rather than the OFFICIAL instructions here. What it does NOT say is that THESE instructions don't work for the SM-N915T. It is natural, at least for me and apparently a few others, to TRY the OFFICIAL instructions first. By the time you get knee-deep in problems with these instructions, it was easy for me to forget about that other suggestion.

So you are 100% correct. My humblest apologies.

Some clarification of that line may reduce this mistake in the future.
[Note Edge General] UpInTheAir:
I won't clarify because it's not my device to test!

This thread is basically a link to Chainfire official thread, and how do I know if he's fixed any issue or not with variants reported "not working". Those users have to post this in his main thread !

If you're "knee deep", you obviously didn't read my instructions about having official firmware at hand. If you're soft bricked, just flash it and you're back in 5 mins.....

I can't help users with limited memory or fail to READ :rolleyes:
[Note Edge General] merrill77:
Actually, I did have the official firmware ready to go. So I was back up and running quickly.

Unlock is NOT ROOT

That refers to you being able to swap carriers, not firmware
[Note Edge General] UpInTheAir:
If your please read my post a little clearer

boot unlock CAN be referred to as having the possibility of obtaining root access. That's why the device is referred to as boot (bootloader) locked ...............

Thanks for clearing up the basics of what the new law entails though :) So it refers to SIM unlock ;)
