This is why it gets more ridiculous to have help to root phones nowadays. Money. This isn't what the site is about and its slowly ruining everything whether you people know it or not. When someone smart decides they want to sit down and root with their free time and interest let them do it on their own.Not all this bounty crap.sending the wrong message.nothing wrong with donations though.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] windstrings:
Seems if loading ROMs is the main objective from root a person would just buy a Dev version and be done with all this?

If you just want to block bloatware, you can use 3.85 debloater.

Dev edition doesn't give you ota, but neither does root upon stock since if ota is allowed it's likely to kill it..... I'm not sure I understand the big issue?

People that already bought stock and want root and have buyers remorse wishing they bought the Dev version, might as well wait till note 5 comes out and do it right next time and buy what they really want?

Root Questions

I know the t-mobile GN4 is similar, if not the same as ours minus the bootloader lock. Is there a way to replace our bootloader with the tmobile version and rewrite it to work with our GN4 after root is achieved? I doubt it's this easy but it's an idea. Thanks!

Update on my progress. Here's what I posted in the Developers thread:

Mods;

I'm posting my developement information as it does pertain to developement communications between developers in the obtaining of root on the Note 4 along with the progress that I've made as so far as it may be viably beneficial for any other developers that might read this and be able to assist with further developement of a exploit to obtain root.

For several months I've been working on obtaining root on the Note 4. 5 months ago I was successful in escalating system privileges and have been able to write to multiple areas where the system UID has access. I have ideas concerning possible deployment and delivery of an exploit. Kernel exploits may be a possibility on KitKat that I'm also looking into. I've read the CVE's and am aware of all patches.

I mentioned in a previous post that the best route to obtain root I felt was thru ADB or FastBoot as I mentioned in another post here:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=59332181&postcount=68

I will continue to dilligently work on obtaining root on the Note 4 & welcome any other developers that have ideas.

I have contacted multiple outside resources who were successful in the rooting of other devices along with person(s) who discovered the security exploits and encouraged them to contact me in our effort to obtain root. Currently I'm brainstorming on a delivery process to give root.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] raynan:
I would imagine that since the only real difference between the two devices is that extra little bit of screen and a slightly different build number/date from the same version, that the exploit would most likely work for the note edge on KK but we will just have to wait and see. Lollipop builds would probably be an entirely different exploit if anyone can even find one.

That being said, thanks to all the devs who are putting so much time and effort into getting this done! All this talk I've seen about not even being interested in bounties has really re-affirmed my faith in this community (not that it needed it to begin with :p)

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] Surge1223:
And you thought not to mention this until now because.....? Also knowing something has the ability to be used as a vector for root isn't the same thing as proving/utilizing it. In that case I discovered the path to root years ago when I learned that kernels have a higher level access than user.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] Android.Ninja:
LoL, ? agreed, however like I said previously

"I was successful in escalating system privileges and have been able to write to multiple areas where the system UID has access."

It wasn't just the thought or idea I had, or the knowledge that I knew, the implementation via ADB was the key, and I had write access at that time.

Towards getting an NK3 tar, I did this: http://www.linuxjournal.com/content/monitoring-android-traffic-wireshark

And found out that the update is over HTTPS from IP address 69.220.28.72, which has the reverse record: elastic-69-220-28-72.dfw3.attcompute.com

There are also mentions of the plaintext "xdmd.sl.attcompute.com" but I'm only finding Google results for "sl.attcompute.com", such as https://github.com/attdevsupport/att-sdk-android/blob/master/AdsSDK/src/com/att/ads/Constants.java

I don't have experience capturing HTTPS traffic myself. For it to be useful, I think one would have to spoof an Android client. Which could range from easy to very hard. Kind of a chicken-and-egg of needing to peer behind the HTTPS layer to get the upgrade file path, user-agent, and other required bits but getting that kind of access might require root (I could totally be wrong on this).

Any suggestions for ideas on how to get the NK3 update file(s) are appreciated.

the root they are working on is for kk.. there isnt anyone working on root for Lollipop to my knowledge because there is just about 0 exploits for Android Lollipop currently.

of course.. i was saying that new devices such as the s6 have never been on kk so they cant downgrade to kk.. of course the note 4 can so hopefully you will have root soon enough.

you are misunderstanding my comment in response to the person who said hopefully it will get easier..

they are working on root using exploits on kk, therefore it will not work on L or devices that cannot downgrade to kk

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] Xuroth:
This very probably is no use, and even if it was someone has likely already tried/dismissed it. Forgive my lacking terminology!

Could we not dump the ROM and decompile the bootloader? Then we could rewrite it without the checksum/verification bit and recompile and load via Odin? I believe it said in an earlier post that verification is done on device and is local (no signature match via carrier).

I'm most likely wrong, but maybe someone could explain why this won't work? I have some intermediate experience with computers in general, but not really much with *nix systems...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] 彩色的风:
oh, man! nobody has the brave heart to modify the files in bootloader! let's assume that the Odin let your files in, even one little mistake will hard brick your device, no thing will be displayed! so you have no chance to revive it, the only way is to ask shamesung to change the mainboard for you!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] jolly_roger_hook:
