[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] heXacode:
Still on 4.4.4. I was going through some posts about root in the dev section and this thread and I decided to install 2 apps that do vulnerability analysis so I could compare to others who showed theirs. Seems mine is a bit different than others. Both apps I used is Recap and Trust. Here are the screenshots.

I remember seeing a screenshot from someone using the Recap app (couldn't find it again). I do remember that they didn't have as much vulnerabilities as what mine shows. As for other comparisons, I noticed different vulnerabilities than what the other people showed.

Thought I'd share this and see if this could be of any help.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] stealyourface1:
I just downloaded recap and my note shows same vulnerabilities...

In the security settings on the lollipop update, KNOX security appears to be disabled. Can this get us passed any holdups in root?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] xxswagga1xx:
You are trippin man, I will not leave AT&T to go to Tmo just for root, Im patiently waiting :) ... Been using my Edge without root since it came out, it's alright, I've gotten used to it :) but still want root access.

Doesn't apply to our device due to the locked boot loader
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] wolfy287:
Quick question will it be easier to root lollipop or should I downgrade back to kitkat?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] nemopsp:
I believe at this point, we are unsure, the Devs. need time to play around and look into the new kernel, and system UID

But personally I think it's going to b longer, since 5.0.1 patches all our current exploits but mayb since we can get into the bootloader now via recovery menu mayb they can find something...

But only time can tell, I'm still on 4.4.4 NK3 no point to update yet... new software creates new issues...

Hopefully the Devs. can achieve root soon either on 4.4.4 or mayb find something in 5.0.1 :) good luck !
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] drivel2787:
There is no root for either yet, so no one is really going to be able to answer that question. It will depend on the developer and when they find a root and for which version of the OS.

Meaning it will root our att note?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] nemopsp:
No the droid turbo root won't root Samsung Galaxy Note 4 AT&T or Verizon...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] TechBSwift:
So here's the deal about the droid turbo root... That site won't work for the note 4 but I believe the exploit/theory will work, the reason I say this is because they used a similar process that LG used to get root. They pushed the files while the phone was in fastboot mode. As many Devs have stated, we believe this is the key to obtaining root. Maybe one of the developers here is cool enough with the developer of that app, where he will provide some insight for the note 4...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] manbat:
Samsung phones do not have "traditional fastboot mode"....Odin is used to flash in Download mode.....flashes have to pass a multi-level security check....locked bootloader prevents passing the security checks....

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] TechBSwift:
You are correct about that, but the concept would be the similar. Gatesjunior has stated this many times that he believes fastboot/odin push is the way to go. In case you don't know who he is, he's the guy the created the debloater tool for non rooted phones running 4.4.4...

There's been nothing on the development thread for a few days. Let's hope that's good news.

This is what's going to get me off att&t. I'll happily lose the unlimited data plan if it means root.

My OTA update is 1/2 downloaded. Have WiFi permanently off in the meantime.

Anyone have any info on who is working on it other than ninja?

Be patient and stop whining, root will come. Most of all remember devs have lives to live, regular jobs to work and families to take care of.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] DrUnkeN_TiGeR:
I wasn't whining I was stating this is why I never post on XDA cause of replies like this
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] windstrings:
Sometimes there's whining about whining......

Just respect each other and all is well..... The nature of this subject attracts 11 year olds and up, many mod wannabees jump in....

The real mods know when it's out of hand. You can send them an alert if concerned.

But reprimanding each other only causes more offense.. It's like your brother bossing you around playing for the favor of the parents or on an ego power trip. .

Immaturity florourishes, don't let a reprimand from a novice with a very low post count bother you. ☺

Assuming we can get root prior to another update with fallback protection being pushed out (knock on wood), I still don't see why this matters... since at the moment we can flash back to the original software, wouldn't we just be able to flash back, root, and freeze it prior to the update completing?

I wonder if this means we wont need your help when lollipop comes out on the XDA portal I saw [MENTION=631273]Chainfire[/MENTION] Made a new root method for devices running Android 5.0 Lollipop. This removes the need for kernel modifications etc. So would this root our AT&T Galaxy Note 4 without being bootloader unlocked and KNOX. I think it will after I read the article but questioning it because of Samsung's KNOX. I think we just need to wait for AT&T to push Android lollipop out to us then use Chainfire's new method! Thus root and Android Lollipop! I read somewhere that the release for llollipop on the Note 4 is most likely to be December - January. As long as Google doesnt patch this root method new by chainfire we should be able to root as soon as lollipop is released. At least I assume so.

Edit add link

http://www.xda-developers.com/android/supersu-beta-lollipop-root-stock-kernel/
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] Kyuta Syuko:
From what I understood from the article I read (haven't looked at the one you linked yet so it might be the same one) it was more an update to the SuperSU app that made kernel modifications unnecessary making rooting bootloader locked phones a possibility. It isn't a rooting method for those with locked bootloaders since the zip needs to be flashed with a custom recovery like Clockwork or TWRP.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] b3asty:
I think we need to just appreciate this kind gentleman's effort and refrain from trying to crap all over it with "thanks but we may not need you" posts....

Just my humbled opinion..
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] torreon901:
It's incredible how some users are around here.. their arrogance it's unbelievable. .. they want root and instead of appreciate what others are trying to do to GET US ROOTED all they do is somehow criticism or even worst makes it look that their work is not appreciated around us.

Sad
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] hnic32:
I couldn't agree with more. And then they wonder why no one wants to help us. Please if you dont have anything positive to say, just keep it to yourself. Why would someone want to run away the ONLY person from what i can see, that has been willing to help us? Makes no sense whatsoever.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] Volvogia:
I posted this already in another post and a lot of us already had a discussion on it. I believe we all here know about the 5.0 progress that chainfire has made. Chainfire has helped and made achievements and he deserves everyone's respect and thanks for that. Just like the gentleman in this thread trying to get us root. I have the most respect for him for even trying. If he fails, then fine and no big deal. Important part is he tried and has got farther than anyone else here has got us. For that, we should all buy him a beer or at least tell him thank you. He said he could care less about the money from the bounty and was more concerned about us a getting root for someone. To find someone that cares more for others than collecting some money is a great thing. Please don't say basically that we don't need him. That is not true at all. Tell him thank you for his efforts, because he strongly deserves it. Now, let's get this thread back on track.

On the xposed thread, it explicitly states that Samsung phones are not supported in the new xposed lollipop alpha, so if you're waiting for lollipop root to install xposed, you might be waiting longer than just the unforeseeable time it will take to gain root.

It's just to help keep the official development thread clean of things that aren't actual development/announcements. "Until then threads like this are just 'chat rooms'. " is exactly the point.

I'm sure it probably doesn't.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] Kyuta Syuko:
It says S5 Lollipop, and it doesn't specify a version for the Note 4, so does that mean it will work for Note 4 Lollipop too?

I doubt it. However, we will have to wait and see. I have stayed on 4.4.4 just for root.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] raynan:
I'm sure the devs want root as much as the rest of us do...Whether they share it or not is their choice. There has been some big news in the official thread and that is where I would watch for the actual announcement. I'm sure they don't have the time or interest to read through the thread where everyone says yay or complains about whatever the news is...

Are they goin to release Verizon and AT&T together or Verizon first then couple days later a AT&T version?

Tho I wouldn't mind a video of root :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] warriorpluto:
Why does everyone care about Knox? I'm sure if there was a hardware defect out would've shown by now. If you're into rooting then you know the possibilities of a brick. No warranty.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] Kyuta Syuko:
Because the carriers can check to see if it's been tripped or not and deny your warranty request, but I think mine's out of warranty anyways so it doesn't matter to me...

I doubt that carries will take a "next plan" trade in or warranty replacement if they can tell that a phone has a tripped knox or that it has a "custom" boot up screen.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] SlothlyDX:
Honestly if your worried about knox then you shouldn't be rooting your phone. Too many things can happen and you may accidently trip knox. I don't care because I want root and im not afraid of knox. Plus I am confident in my own abilities to avoid bricking or breaking my phone. Sure I could dunk it in water tomorrow and lose my phone but that's the risk I'm taking.

I am very confident that blazindroid1 has obtained root for us and I am very excited like all of you, but any more pre-conceived notions are not going to help and just spread paranoia. I'm waiting to see what happens and then we can get more answers when everything is released. We wont be in the dark much longer.
