Update !!

So, I have validated that in fact this is working. I am able to maintain root, as long as I do not reboot the device myself, and it completely eliminates all reboots, whether forced or random. I have removed an enormous amount of system apps and private apps and it is still maintaining without issue.

What do I do with this then is the question. I am not real excited about just releasing it for free, because I do not see people donating. Why do I say this ? Because using Super-Sume as an example. I had over 18,000 downloads and only 50.00 was donated to the Pro. I decided to pull the free version and not maintain it and now the Pro version is doing fairly well. Not even close to the free version, but not bad either. It just seems like the community is not willing to forfeit a few bucks for a developers time and efforts.

I really do not want to be a "stick in the mud", but now I am sitting here wondering what I should do.

BTW, if you do a "hard" reboot from the power menu / let the battery go dead, well then you will be back to stock. But, as long as you do not tell it to reboot and maintain your battery, I do not see any reason why this will not stick for as long as you follow those guidelines. Soft reboots are fine.

I will gladly pay for a paid version sir. Been following you since day one, I've seen months of work on your behalf, as well as some others. I'm sure it won't go without something in return on our behalf!

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] dcrewchief:
This is such good news. I have rooted devices since 2.3.4 I know i was one of the few who did purchase the pro version. My main use for root is ad blocking and quarantining apps to save battery. Keep up the good work. One step closer to perm root. I am doing a happy dance!!!!!

Super-Sume is the first paid app I've purchased from the Google Play Store. I really appreciate the time and effort you've dedicated toward achieving perma-root on our devices. Hopefully this will be included in your next update. If you decide to charge for the Mod, I will gladly contribute. I know you and the other dedicated developers will crack the code. Thanks Again!!!!!

I'm new to Android community, just sold my 6+ (got extremely bored with it) and bought att Note 4 as 5 doesn't have a micro SD slot and the battery is weaker. I don't know much about rooting yet, I'm in intensive learning process but willing to buy for the app or donate for the root too.

I'll definitely pay for the app, as I did with Supersume Pro. I really would also like to know what all you have disabled, [MENTION=3178012]gatesjunior[/MENTION]. I think it's important for all of us to run with the same environment as a start to achieve the same results.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] gatesjunior:
Update !!

O.k., I have decided to build it into the Super-Sume Pro application. New release with root protection should be available within the next day. Early adopters who supported me, will get the benefit of owning this with their previous purchase of the Pro version. Those that wanted to keep running the free version, well it will now cost you 3.99 for it. Very reasonable considering what it will do. Also, it has to be installed to work correctly.

Also, anyone found trying to give it away to someone else or post it, I will know who you are and I will hunt you down and make your life miserable. Fair warning !!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] nemopsp:
So when will the app change prices today? Or when the update hits?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] gatesjunior:
Already changed to 3.99..
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] gatesjunior:
This is funny !!

So, I think I just experienced the worse possible thing that happens with my new mechanism. I was having more fun with Root explorer and at that very moment, the system decided to try and remove root, so of course root explorer looked like it was hanging deleting, so I just cancelled real quick went in and checked SuperSU, it initially said no su binary, of course I knew what was going on. So I waited just a couple of seconds went back in and it was happy again. Now root explorer was still kind of trying to delete files in a strange state, so I just went into terminal and killed the process that root explorer was using.

Just searched for it like this:

ps | grep speed

It showed me the pid, so I killed it, went back into root explorer and finished deleting what I wanted to.

So what does all this prove ? Well a couple of things, Super-Sume will fight for the right for root !!! And during this whole process, no reboots...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] happy2472:
So there is root for the verizon note 4?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] TOA Duck:
I know this is a different phone but could any of this be applied to the note edge...as far as achieving root?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] gatesjunior:
Yes, although it is temporary and is for the Kitkat version. So if you took the latest update, no fun for you unfortunately. Temporary meaning, if you reboot the device you will lose root.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] gatesjunior:
It depends, do you guys have root at all ? If you do, Super-Sume Pro will fight for the right for root on any device, not just for the Note 4. In other words, once you are rooted, it will fight for root.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] TOA Duck:
I think we have temp root. Not sure.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] yamaha_wins:
Is kingroot still needed?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] gatesjunior:
Yes
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] TOA Duck:
Oh ok, so I updated to 5.0.1 so I'm screwed?

King root doesn't work but I guess I can try to roll back using Odin.

However I'm using package disabler and it is able to disable every system item including knox, system update....everything you would want you disable....just the same as root would.

How is this app doing this without root access?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] Sizzlechest:
Just bought the paid version. Never thought about doing it before, because quite frankly, the free one never worked for me. Phone would always reboot itself and lose root. If this is truly stable now, then I gladly paid for it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] gatesjunior:
Great, I appreciate that. I don't expect things to be perfect out of the gate, but you will see it is very stable and seems to keep root and prevent reboots.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] Sizzlechest:
Okay, I know this has got to be me, not your program, but I can't get SuperSu Me Pro to work. Maybe I'm using the wrong version of Kingroot or something. It doesn't remove Kingroot and/or reboots the phone. Do you have a detailed guide or something?

Here's what I'm doing:

Install latest Kingroot.

Root the phone with Kingroot.

Install SuperSuMe Pro from Play store.

Run Super Su Me from play store.

It usually hangs trying to remove Kingroot. Sometimes if I switch out of it and go back into Kingroot, it sometimes gives me a prompt to allow SusperSume Pro root access. I chaged the prompt to always allow. Other apps don't have an issue obtaining root under Kingroot.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] gatesjunior:
Latest meaning 4.5 on the XDA thread ?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] Sizzlechest:
I've used 4.1.0.524 and I tried 4.5.0.803. Using 4.5 gives a more stable root in general.

EDIT: This is strange, but I can't get 4.1 to install anymore.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] dcrewchief:
I have been reading back at some recent posts. Some people are not understanding proper procedcure. You have to to do regular reboot for kingroot to work. You must have Supersu uninstalled before installing and running aupersu-me. Also once rooted you cannot do regular reboot. You need an app that will soft reboot. Simple-reboot achieves that well.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] Puppy69us:
No fun for me...

As soon as you have something that works for LP I will purchase. I'll pay that and donate. I don't have a lot but every little bit helps. Unfortunately I kept updating out of frustration of no root, so here I am. Thanks again for all your hard work. :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] a40dayflud818:
[MENTION=3178012]gatesjunior[/MENTION], being completely honest, I have refrained from purchasing SuperSuMe simply based on the fact that I am on the latest AT&T build that prohibits me from downgrading to 4.4. Do you know of anyway for me to downgrade? It would be my pleasure to spend the $4 to purchase your app for my Note 4 if I could root it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] RocknSteve:
At this point, the rooting is still being done by KingRoot. If they can achieve root for LP, Gates could probably get SU on it.

EDIT: I just realized you were simply asking about a way to downgrade.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] vsn4:
Ok, so I fully understand. This keeps root as long as I don't hard reboot? Like say for example... A few hours later after I've rooted and I wanted to change something in system, maybe like the "sound mod" I could do so without having to reroot? Because the root will still be active? Or does this just prevent random reboots?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] heXacode:
One...

Always make sure you reboot your phone before doing any of this.

Two...

KingRoot 4.5 download:

https://www.dropbox.com/s/pqrgykb02...muGFXp5QFi63J9LqWUKQCnhhKBrBRkmGHpXV.apk?dl=0

Three...

The reason you are seeing "app not installed" is because KingRoot has folders installed on your internal memory card. Go to your internal and you'll probably see 2 or 3 KingRoot related folders. Delete them. Reinstall 4.5.

Four...

Root with 4.5

Five...

Use SuperSu Me Pro and let the process go through.

Six...

Update binaries if asked.

You should be set then.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] Sizzlechest:
This is good. However, I had done this. I already found and deleted the Kingroot folder and I found a hidden file that I tried deleting, too. I cannot get your apk to install. There might be something on my file system that is preventing this, but I have no clue to what or where it is.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] heXacode:
Did you reboot or power off after deleting and try again?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] Sizzlechest:
Of course. I can only get the 4.5 version of Kingroot to install that I had used before. I suspect there is some place on the phone it stored something that's preventing the install.

Is there a way to run Super-Sume Pro in a debug mode?

I rebooted and kept trying to install the Kingroot 4.5 apk that you provided. After 3 tries of "app not installed" it installed on the 4th try. It rooted the phone, I installed Supersume Pro and it's stuck on "Removing Kingroot and all dependencies." How long does this take? I don't remember this taking very long in the past.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] heXacode:
I don't know. Which versions do you have on your phone? None of them will install?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] gatesjunior:
O.k., the quickest way to eliminate this issue is to factory reset the device from the Settings menu.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] heXacode:
I actually had this problem last night when testing a few things and KingRoot wouldn't install. Deleting the folders found on the internal memory card solved those issues.

He has something on there that's not allowing it to install.

Maybe run a grep command on internal to see what's left over?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] gatesjunior:
The program itself will remove folders on the sdcard as well as part of the process. But, if he cannot seem to install KingRoot, it is probably in the data area of his system. The quickest way to prove that is to Wipe / Format data and see if it then installs fine.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] heXacode:
True. If it is in data it would require root to get rid of it, which he can't obtain due to not being able to install KingRoot. Hope he doesn't mind doing a Factory reset.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] gatesjunior:
Correct.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] Sizzlechest:

Doing a factory reset is going to be a pain in the neck. I'd hate to do that and find the same issue.

BTW, the version of SuperSume Pro form the play store is 8.1.

Please take all talk and support of SuperSu Me to its thread in the paid applications section. This thread is for root progress, not paid app discussions.

Guys check this out !!

I have interpreted what I think he is trying to say:

He has stated that if you go to the Playstore and install Knox by Samsung and go through the setup process where you have a separate environment literally on the device. That you can then root that environment and maintain it on reboot. Now, USB debugging gets disabled, but he is saying that it does not trip Knox and that you can essentially have a secure environment and a rooted environment and it will survive a reboot.. I have not yet tested this, but someone look into this for me if you would.

Is anyone still working on the root?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] KennyG123:
As has been the case for the last few years, rarely does someone advertise they or even post on XDA that they are working on root. In most cases it just appeared. If you had read this thread you will see that the a couple of developers are still working on it publically and posting their findings. But people constantly asking "Are we there yet" drives them away.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] Arjoni:
I didn't mean to ask for any eta. I have read all the pages and saw that the developers hadn't posted anything yet for a lond time (or maybe it looked long to me bacause of reading all this thread without moving from the computer) and i thought they stopped working on it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] KennyG123:
I seen several of your posts repeating the same question..I guess you didn't receive a clear answer...due to constant distractions, most work on exploits are done off site. So you will not see discussions constantly occurring. The work being done is trying to make the temporary root permanent. The temporary root was achieved by Kingroot, who did not discuss their exploit on XDA before hand. They just showed up here with it. So there is no answer to who is working on root...it may be just the few devs posting in this thread, or it may be 1000's of hackers taking on the challenge hoping to claim some fame and some bounties. It is just a wait and see situation.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] Arjoni:
Okay, thank you for the information. There is no temporary root for lollipop, right?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] KennyG123:
Yes...that is correct. We can only hope an exploit is found and posted soon. Like the Kingroot for KK, it just appeared. Kingroot 4.5 has successfully rooted some other phones on 5.0.2 so maybe they are working on it still.

Hi someone please reply fast.

I a new here in USA. Just came here 20 days back as a student.

I bought a new galaxy note 4 4g LTE AT&T unlocked SM-N910A from ebay. currently its on kitkat but when i try to update the software it says the software is upto date, i believe its because the phone is unlocked and i'm not on AT&T network.

how can i update the rom to lollipop without losing the sim-unlock??

Or should i just go ahead and return the phone back because i dont wanna use the phone on older roms.??

Please help asap.

Edit: To clarify I am asking if the current root that is available is "good enough" to allow a foot in the door so to speak so bands needed for T-Mobile 3G and Voice can be added. I am not asking for info about enabling the needed bands in this thread, only asking if the current root allows for edits to "stick" once done.

************

Been ALL over the net...

To keep this post short, in the market for (2) Note 4's. I would of course prefer the T-Mo versions but due to cost constraints most likely will be ordering AT&T Note 4's (Yuck) and I'm wanting to enable the correct bands to be able to use them with T-Mo USA.

http://xdaforums.com/note-4/general/enabling-additional-lte-bands-att-t-t3160864

Q: Is this possible?

Wondering if ROOT that is available on ATT Note 4 currently is good enough to allow a foot in the door so to speak so bands needed for T-Mobile 3G and Voice can be added.

IE: I am wondering if the needed edits can be done with that state "ROOT" is at this point.

Notes:

It appears that as of 2015-09 ATT NOTE 4's are shipping with 5.xx vs 4.4...

Anyone hear of KingRoot working on 5.xx as it's probably not possible to backflash a device shipped with 5.xx to 4.4xx, right?

.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] chiahead52:
why would you not just get T Mobile versions as those have a root and AT&T does not have permanent root? and I dont think Kingroot is able to root Lolipop.

2: Off-topic?, I asked if the current state of ROOT would allow for bands to be EDITED. As I am unfamiliar with all the in's and out's of the "current state' of "Root" on Non-T-Mo versions of the Note 4 I was deferring to those more knowledgeable than I if the "current" root would allow such.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] WeAreNotAlone:
With corporate discount applied ATT version is a good bit cheaper.

Really? T-Mo version can be used on T-Mo?

To be able to edit the bands ROOT is needed from everything I've run across.

(I have not used the various apps that are required to edit the bands but common sense is that ROOT would probably have to remain persistent across reboots during the EDITING process itself.)

Hence why I was asking about the STATE of the current ROOT.

Q: Does the most current ROOT for the SAMSUNG-SM-N910A persist across reboots and does it give full read-write access?

PS: In the link you posted I don't see where you "answered" anything. I see you mentioning your 4G speeds and that you've never seen the 3G symbol.

Pop quiz= If you are on T-Mobile, will 3G work on a SAMSUNG-SM-N910A?

(From what I've read the answer is NO as the ATT SAMSUNG-SM-N910A is missing those bands., ergo why you've never seen the 3G symbol.)

.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] elliwigy:
your answer is no. root does not persist after reboot and is only available on kk. you will not benefit unless a soft reboot will work. any changes made to the system will revert on a hard reboot.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] mircury:
You will be much better off getting the tmo version. In the past ATT has blocked bands not related to their network even though tmo doesnt. I have enabled some bands on previous ATT samsung phones using qpst and connecting directly to the modem and flashing patched nv data. There is nothing like that for the ATT Note 4. There isn't even permanent root let alone modem hacking.

So I've got an idea... So right now it's possible under 4.4 to root MyKnox, if we did that could we use a hypervisor exploit to directly access write protected partitions? We may be able to load a custom kernel into knox and finally bypass write protect. Like I said just an idea, let me know what you guys think. Oh the bug I'm thinking of is VENOM. Not sure if it applies to us or not but here's the link:
