As far as my knowledge is that video is over a year old an it's fake no one has ever released anything to prove it otherwise!

Only developers that I thought might have something was Yemen devs they released a root for N900V an said they had a root for N910A/V models - https://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=3333569

So I privately messaged them an here was my message an there response was [Screenshot provided]

These messages was way back in April 2016. Which they never released anything either, so it was a fake too.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] UbuntuPC:
I've been hunting around and doing a bunch of random research on the interwebs, and I absolutely believe there is a string command and the ability to get an OEM unlock on our devices.

On a different note, My friends both have the S6 from AT&T. Under developer options one of them has OEM unlock, while the other doesn't. Could this somehow be utilized?

Update: I did find mention of an OC2 build from an error log online.

samsung/trlteuc/trlteatt:5.0.1/LRX22C/N910AUCU1COC2

Does this look like a key?

Anyone got root yet?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] ant17:
Using kingo I had root for about 40 seconds, and just as fast it was GONE!

Had to remove kingo, too much malware in it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] AptLogic:
The problem is not getting root as much as it is keeping it long enough to flash something Pre-Rooted. At some point SELinux or something steps in and stops the root from working. If we can knock that out we've got nothing standing in our way.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] boofman:
Can't we use logs to figure out what's removing our root?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] AptLogic:
If you can keep root long enough to get logcat running I don't see why not

How to Enable Camera2API on Android

Download/install BuildProp Editor app from the Play Store to your Android device.

Open BuildProp Editor app and tap the edit icon on top bar.

Your build.prop file will open, scroll down to the bottom line on the file » and add a separate line persist.camera.HAL3.enabled=1.

Tap the save icon on top bar once you’ve added the persist.camera.HAL3.enabled=1 line to the build.prop file.

When it asks for root permission, GRANT it.

Reboot your device.

-----------------------------------

Would the change be persistent?

Desperate for an answer today (the last day I can get a refund on my AT&T GN4).

Thanks.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] bichofelix:
Nope. Dm-verity would see and correct it. But we COULD grab the verity keys and use it to try to sign a boot.img.

See: https://xdaforums.com/android/software-hacking/signing-boot-images-android-verified-t3600606
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] AspiringDeveloper:
Someone raised the question earlier if being in a reception free zone would extend the duration of root. Any thoughts on that?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] ODSTZ3RO:
No, it won't extend the duration. When has root ever been dependent on lack of carrier signal?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] AspiringDeveloper:
I just thought that the "unroot signal" (if there is one) might come over the air. Else, why 40 seconds. Why not immediately?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] viewsfromthepi:
If someone found a way to take off the antenna would it prevent the unroot signal? just saying
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] bichofelix:
I think you're taking it too literally. When the poster above says "att sees you are rooted" he's not saying they actually see his device is rooted, he's talking about the mechanism in place to detect and prevent any unsigned software; Android Verified Boot also known as DM-Verity.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] AptLogic:
How do you propose we get a key that we can use to sign a new boot.img without issues?

I thought I went over this, apparently not...

Device protections are device-side! Regardless of reception or SIM unlock status, dm-verity will still be waiting to ruin our day.

I wish it was that easy.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] bichofelix:
I haven't quite figured that out. I'm thinking we should seek out how chainfire made the keys for the pixel
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] AptLogic:
The way Chainfire did it was by leveraging the ability for the Google Pixel to unlock its bootloader. This lets you flash basically

anything

as long as its signed with SOME SORT of key. In that case all he did was generate a random key and use it to sign the binary and then push it to the device.

Our situation is different in that we have to use the OEM key or else it won't boot (SECURE FAIL: Kernel).
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] bichofelix:
That's what I was afraid of. I had only skimmed it but that fits what I remember reading.

We have the correct method but you're right, our situation is a bit different.

If we could just pull the aboot and have a look to see if it can even be unlocked. If the qfuse is blown and there turns out to be no way around it, then we might just be ****ed without an engineering kernel.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] AptLogic:
I'm pretty sure the keys we want are in the TrustZone, so we have very little hope of grabbing them without root, and even then its doubtable since the only TrustZone exploits I've seen are for MSM8974-based devices.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] bichofelix:
Well that's dead.

I'm assuming our best bet is an engineering kernel as it's been signed by the OEM but obviously it's such an old phone now that's also dead.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] AspiringDeveloper:
I take it some kind of hardware hack couldn't help us get root either? (see, I'm not embarrassed to expose my ignorance). Loving XDA for years for all the knowledge one can gain even if I myself am a bit slow.

Question about One Click Root and ATT Note 4

Friend,

Thanks for your help here. I've liked my AT&T Galaxy Note 4 fine just as it it, but most of my phones I've rooted to get rid of bloatware. But it seems like no one here has found how to do that, so I'm hesitant to believe it when One Click Root says that they can root my AT&T Galaxy Note 4 with no problems.

Do you know anything about this company? I've mostly just heard bad things about them, with an occasional "GREAT HELP!" notes that I also wonder about.

If you know anything about this claim, I'd love to hear from you (or anyone else).

Thanks,

Michael B

Hey guys im on AUCU2COC5 i just did ota update and phone is stuck on att logo. Anyone know a version to flash with odin that will still preserve my data (music, videos).
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] nemopsp:
If you flash With Odin you'll delete all the data on the phone. Now if you have your files on an micro SD card an remove it. You'll keep all of your data! Which I always kept all my files on my SD card.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] amsgh:
I could've sworn when i had the note 2 that i did Android upgrade and still had my music and pictures... If not is there a way to go into internal storage and get the data??
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] nemopsp:
Well at this point it sounds like the upgrade got your phone stuck in a bootloop, which you have to factory reset it basically by flashing stock rom via Odin. If you can not connect it the phone to the PC you more than likely lost everything. Next time you should keep every thing backup on an SD card or just Don't upgrade... after the 6.0.1 upgrade made me sell the Note 4 it made it really sluggish and no root... Sold that phone an bought brand new iPhone 7 an jailbroken best decision I've made it along time. I did enjoy the Note 4 on 4.4.4 KitKat with kingroot + SuperSUme Pro, after that its just was down hill...

willing to break note 4 at & t

Hey guys i have a note that is now locking up ,shutting down and having a hard time turning on ... with that being said I bought a T mobile version and it should be delivered today. Last time I did anything with a phone was with the LG dare . I patched that firmware to bypass it's security so you could use any app you wanted now I've been looking around the last 2 weeks and reading a lot on the note. I'm still having some trouble finding everything I need. I'm looking for an experienced person that knows how this phone works inside and out.

Need good tools that do not have viruses

Need info about how the memory works

What does bootloader locked refer to

Does it refer to you not being able to change rom only or does it mean that you cannot change the bootloader it's self..

My goal is to make a complete back of the note 4 the mobile that's coming and I need to do it before I start using the phone so I'm pressed for time and this is way I'm here asking for a little help so I can speed up the time frame of having everything I need.

Once I get a complete backup I should be able to flash Tmobile bootloader and system over to AT&T version.

If some one has already tried this I haven't came across the post yet. I'm not sure if there is something on the phone that want allow a change of the bootloader if there is then Qualcomm software should be able to read the memory and be able to change the settings .

So please understand I'm all about self learning and doing the research myself but I am pushed for time and need a very knowledgeable person to help me get up to speed.. thanks for taking the time to read this and if you would like to help please message me. Thanks again

I want to get this correct would the T-Mobile Charging Flex Cable Port Works With The AT&T Main Board?:confused:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] Shanghai.Knight:
I'd be weary of trying that. The board itself has T Mobile stamped on it. I would assume if it was generic, it wouldn't be stamped with T Mobile.

The T Mobile is different in that it uses Exynos processor, I believe. I believe the ATT is Qualcomm. So, the charger may be unique.

Additionally, I believe there was an Exynos version of the TMobile Note 4, as well as a Qualcomm (snapdragon) version... Better check model numbers of the board you need to replace, and make sure everything matches up perfectly...

Otherwise you may fry what is left of your Note 4.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] morsoseth:
Okay, first off I've been using XDA and custom roms since my first smart phone which was the Tilt. I had my Note 2 roms and note 3 roms. Sold the note 3 for a new note 5 but hated not having the micro sd option. Went to a note 4 and it's been fine for the last year or better. It's still a capable phone and although I'd like to upgrade to a new Galaxy I won't buy another with a locked bootloader.

Now here is what I'm wondering. While in the process of watching XDA's video by TK about removing bloatware using the ADB commands when I somehow stumbled upon the post here about a working temporary root until reboot. I also read that Knox can be essentially shut off by freezing these programs:

com.sec.enterprise.knox.attestation

com.sec.knox.eventsmanager

KLMS Agent

KNOX

Knox Notification Manager

KNOX Store

All that said, what's removing the root upon restart? I was under the impression that Knox works with the bootloader.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] yes_have_some:
I think it has to do with the dm-verity if I remember correctly. I too have a note 4 that just last week I began to play with and successfully downgraded from 6.0.1 to 5.1.1, ran kingroot v5.0.2 followed by super su me v.8.9(?I think that's correct) and to my surprise I FINALLY saw root verified on my N4=D

Sadly, less than 5 min passed and it rebooted. Had to start process over . So this time I wasted no time having TB ready along with ES file explorer plus few others and went to work on system apps i.e. Knox, etc at once. I can say that stopped the kernel panic every 5 min, just was/is extremely unstable. Knox and other system apps were NOWHERE to be found upon booting back into stock.

I'd bet almost anything that there IS a way to get this miserable old dirty bish rooted (as our AT&T variant is the only one refusing to be taken to the dark side lol) but as it is a nearly 4 year old device, there's just not the devs who have taken it as personal as some of us have to truly make them OURS to do what we wish with them. I'm trying to get back on kit Kat 4.4.4 but so far haven't found any builds that won't throw a "fail" in Odin.

One last thing, I do own a Note 8 and I remember reading in the forum prior to its samfail being made and then once it had been successful how it theoretically COULD work on "most" Sammy devices... I for one still am holding out hope for it!!!

Also, if anyone has any great recommendations for me as to where a great site for a newbie like me can learn about rooting I would appreciate that very much as well.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] KennyG123:
Best bet is to avoid buying carrier locked phones from AT&T and Verizon in the future.

Most developers that are involved in rooting have several degrees in java, security, Android, etc. They also go to black hat conventions to learn of recent exploits and vulnerabilities....so there is no easy way to learn rooting.

If root is available for a device it is highly likely it will be on XDA. Check those device forums before purchasing your next device.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] yes_have_some:
Also trainer217, I too just started not long ago with rooting, etc. One of the best tips I can give you is if you have a spare device that IS able to be rooted plus a bootloader unlock to install TWRP - DO IT... like several times over. That will help you get a overall feel for the process. And nobody on here is worth their weight in gold if they haven't bricked a device or two lol - the true joy comes from UNbricking it ;) And also read,read,read -whatever you don't know just google the sh!t out of it and you'll be just fine my friend.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] yes_have_some:
I wouldn't hold my breath if I were you. No offense, but the device is over 4 years old now with our AT&T model WELL KNOWN for its stubbornness. As badly as I've wanted mine unlocked /etc unless there is a team assembled working round the clock on this (remember I did mention our beloved phones are FOUR YRS + old now and only getting older..) I just don't see it happening. EVER. I already bought an exceptionally clean used Verizon variant for $65 and it's currently running a note 7 port with ram kernel.. Pretty nice it is??

BTW, you can probably find the answer to your last question in one of the dev forums. I know that the .tar is just a format - can be reformatted to a .img rather easily with a simple program on your pc. Think what you may be asking is what type of security is in place TO varify the boot imgs/etc. Hope I was helpful, even though it isn't what any of us want lol.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] jerryspring:
I rooted mine with dirty ? method
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] Note4_unlock:
My actions are simple. When creating .img and .tar files, AT & T uses a certificate that is signed by the compiled files. At the moment, I am close to resolving this issue. I need to know how to sign files. There are applications for signing zip and apk, but not for .tar archives and .img images.
