Alrighty guys been following this thread since the beginning and while I have absolutely no idea how to help you guys in depth but I did notice today, which maybe I'm an idiot, but google drive appears to have access into a root directory that looks like I was able to access via the app. Here's a quick **** video I took with the fiances phone: http://youtu.be/kMLj3TPfyDA let me know if this means anything, pretty curious.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] Wetzel402:
You are viewing the root directory as a read only file system. Root access would allow a read write file system allowing for changes to be made.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] Thoth7475:
So, I'm a total lurker & hardly ever post anything unless I feel it can be useful & with my limited abilities, that usually doesn't happen. Even though I feel this might not be a very useful post for this thread, I do believe it's the best place to get an answer because everyone with an informed opinion is here. So for those with the knowledge I lack & are working on getting root, do you think there will be a better or worse chance of that happening if & when Att pushes a lollipop update? From what I've read, the locking of bootloader combined with security of the kernel in lollipop is pretty much going to make this impossible...do you guys agree? Also, do you think there will be a way to stop a forced update in order to try & continue with kit kat? Anyway, I hope this long winded post doesn't upset anyone and that I don't get trolled too much for not adding anything useful to the thread.

Thanks,

Robert
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] SlothlyDX:
1. Trying to find out if for is easier on lollipop is like asking who is going to the Super bowl next year. It's too hard to tell. We have some information but not for our beloved notes. We can compare to the S5 but they already have obtained root and our update is coming later so oooooo......... More time for Samsung and your carrier to screw you in locking down the phone.

2. Actually there is a way to block OTA. In the Verizon thread for note 4 http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2972263

You can block more than just that. You can block any app, including system apps, and block Knox. I'm using it currently. It's very nice.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] idler1984:
Our plan is still the classic way, targeting kernel, getting root. However, WP is major obstacle here. On most other devices (Sony, Huawei, Coolpad, etc) WP is implemented in kernel or through inotify so we can shut it down. This one seems initialized in aboot and carrid out by mmc controller? IMO some spoofing tech would be required to shut it down...

This is the first time I see Samsung putting WP on system partition, may be a bad signal...

they are all the 0-day flash player vulnerabilities that are floating about. granted we would have to install an unpatched version of flash player (if it would even work on our device). but since adobe stopped supporting flash player on android, I guess it would be REALLY easy to find a vulnerable version and install it to our device.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] spexwood:
This may help or if may mean nothing at all. I came from the Optimus G Pro, which was an ATT exclusive and had a locked bootloader too. No one was able to unlock it, but we used an app called Freegee to bypass it. I don't know if it helps any at all, but someone may want to look at that app to see what was done and if it can spark any ideas.

Last time I checked, Freegee was on the Play Store for free.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] Jspex:

Calm down everyone, there is no need to show anger and fustrations. I myself am guilty of it too. We have great developers working at it and if there is ANY news I'm most certain they will share with us.

Patience is a virtue though my wife says I have none. (lol)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] dabl198327:
I may have jumped the gun a tad but the comment came off as sarcastic like "haha yeah good luck with that". Every time someone replies on this thread I get a notification cuz I'm eager for root. So when I see something that doesn't pertain to root it annoys me. If I'm in the wrong my apologies.

---------- Post added at 09:14 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:12 AM ----------

How about doing root manually like some people have done in the past?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] spexwood:
No it doesn't because it was how we GAINED root (you can't need root to gain root... it would be like a Catch82). Plus, it never unlocked the bootloader. It only bypassed it.

EDIT: I was wrong. See my post a few posts down.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] Jspex:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=edu.shell.freegee_free

Says right in the name on the play store "requires root".
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] spexwood:
I highly doubt it. Freegee was meant only for LG devices (hence the name Free

GEE

, like L

G

). And Freegee wasn't a root-all tool either. It only allowed us to bypass the locked bootloader on our

ATT LG devices

.

For clarification, my only reason for mentioning Freegee was so that the people working on root for our Note 4's could examine Freegee's code to see what it did and maybe get some ideas from it. I was

NOT

suggesting that Freegee could work on our phones, or any Samsung device in that matter, or anything like that.

EDIT: See below

---------- Post added at 03:31 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:25 PM ----------

OK, wait. I was wrong. I just looked at my files on my computer (I keep all the stuff needed for rooting JIC). Freegee was used to gain Clockworkmod Recovery or TWRP (you choose which to install in Freegee). We used something like CF Auto-Root to root. I remember now because you had to run a file on your computer while your phone was plugged into it in Download Mode. The computer then flashed the SU files to the phone.

Darn! Sorry for that everyone!!!!

Being in the general section, anyone can post whatever they like, as it should be.

what is needed is a thread in the dev section for developers only and without the clutter. Just my 2 cents. hope y'all have a great day and mahalo to those actively working on root.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] Stryke_the_Orc:
Pretty much what he said ^

While true, it sometimes is taken a bit gentler from someone other than a moderator (Some people don't seem to like us much...), and if it keeps the threads on track, I see no need to ask them to stop unless it becomes excessive.

Respect does carry a lot of weight...

First of all, regardless of where the topic is posted, remaining on topic is a rule, so no, anyone doesn't get to say whatever they like...

While I would love nothing more than to be able to close every one of these threads about "discussing root", "Who's working on root?", etc, etc... and have a single, well organized and maintained thread devoted to only those that are working towards such goals, it would never be without clutter and here's why; For every one of these threads that get closed, two more pop up in its place. If all of these threads were to be closed, where do you think "inquiring minds" would turn to? Oh yeah, that one nice, clean, devoted thread.

It's not ideal to have so many threads, but it keeps things somewhat organized and that's good enough for me.

Thank you bro, now lets talk root. The purpose of this thread is for such discussion and I feel that the last few pages are proof that we must continue towards that goal because drudgery only digs holes where as contribution builds goals.

Here are the question that need asked at this point.

1) Do we have any info on new exploits that might be useful against this Phone?

2) Do we have a active set of skilled people still on this thread who have the ability to build software/ write scripts that can run a given exploit to gain root?

3) Are we capable as Adults to keep this thread on topic and ignore the small stream of otherwise useless post in order to keep the peace?

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] graydiggy:

Here's one for the hell of it.

Temp root.

Would it be possible to gain temp root and use that to find an exploit for a full root or unlock?

Doing some digging...

Anyone know the method used for the WeakSauce 2 exploit? It's for HTC phones w/ locked bootloaders on 4.4.4 (specifically the M7 & M8 on VZW). I'm not sure whether a similar method might work for the Note 4 but perhaps someone more knowledgeable might find it useful: https://sambotestet.nu/sambo/3c446933a70303d8c8524c9f7f17b62bfc538d10?fb_ref=Default / http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=51480942&postcount=1

Also, any chance doing what Chainfire did (in 2.27beta) to bypass SELinux under 5.0 (without needing a modified kernel) might work in the SELinux-enabled 4.4.4 context of the Note 4? (See http://www.xda-developers.com/supersu-beta-lollipop-root-stock-kernel/)?
