No. It's the developer edition. You can flash cwm or twrp straight out of the box and install a custom rom that's already rooted.

If for some reason you want to go full stock on your developer edition phone then root should be already active or very simple to activate. Although knowing samsung they probably don't even know which super user app to install lol probably would put the Chinese super user. Or some samsung bloat crap SamUser lmao.
[Note Edge General] ffr3245:
Thanks! I know it's developer ed. and comes with unlocked bootloader. But wasn't clear about obtaining root.

FYI.......as I was typing this I got an email from Sammy saying my order just shipped!!! WootWoot!
[Note Edge General] sshams95:
What did you enter in the "Developer Information" section while checking out?

Also, I'm still torn between the S6 Edge and Note Edge. Really seems like the specs are about the same with the Note having a larger screen size, micro Sd and removable battery...while the S6 Edge will have the better processor and Lollipop.

And who knows if Samsung will even offer a 128gb s6 edge vzw developer edition.

Anyone have insights?
[Note Edge General] NekoShinigami:
For the developer info I put my company name. I own a computer repair business and I studied programming at my local college so I just put that info in there.

Also about the s6 edge: you'll likely get more support for it since it is mainstream. By that I mean it isn't like the nite edge it won't be a limited thing and it's actually in the "s" family. So you'll see more cases for it and more people will have it. But the edge on the s6 won't be what you expect if you are comparing it to the note edge. The s6 edge isn't a separate screen with apps and such for it. It's just cosmetics. I think I recall someone mentioning the screen lighting up a certain color for certain contacts when they call but nothing like what we see from the note edge. Also no removable battery, no SD card, no sPen, no big screen. But totally your call. Chances are they will have a dev edition but probably not the 128 maybe the 64... maybe
[Note Edge General] sshams95:
That's what I've been reading so far...that the Note Edge screen is more functional than the S6 Edge screen. All I need is a wireless charging with a decent cover. As far as development is concerned, the only ROM I would be interested in is one that has stock Lollipop.
[Note Edge General] NekoShinigami:
In that case I see no reason not to get the s6 edge. You'd probably be just as happy either way but the s6 edge will have more case options and such.
[Note Edge General] Vorridor:
Can anyone confirm root on the edge Dev edition?

If so, could you point me to a detailed guide please?

I just got my Dev edition on Verizon and I'm not clear on the root method.

Thanks in advance.
[Note Edge General] FruitBowlMafia:
Try Kingo.
[Note Edge General] Vorridor:
What's that?
[Note Edge General] FruitBowlMafia:
I have the retail edition Note Edge so I cannot verify, however Samsung usually requires Odin to flash root/recovery packages.

I don't believe it can hurt anything, if you wanted to try here's the link to the Kingo root app: http://www.kingoapp.com/
[Note Edge General] NekoShinigami:
Kongo does not work, neither does any other app such as 1 click, zroot, or towelroot. The way to get root is to use Odin to flash twrp (the note 4 version) then in twrp flash the super user update zip.

Now make sure you adjust the settings in twrp so that you turn down the brightness and turn off the screen off function. The wakeup is glitched and also there are bars on both sides that are really bright and may cause screen damage if left on for long periods.

I have 2 of this phone and both are rooted using this method. Use pda in older Odin or a slot in new Odin when flashing twrp. And make sure you use lies to have the latest USB drivers for the edge. I don't have links to the files atm I'm at the hospital welcoming my new baby, links when I get home if you guys have any trouble finding the right files.

Whichever odin you choose will work. Use either ap slot or pda slot and change no settings from default on odin.

Of corse original credit goes where due. Docugod helped me.

[Note Edge General] Vorridor:
You know way more than me. I'm 100% glad of that.

I have the Verizon Dev Edition of the Note EDGE. I'm currently working through another thread, trying to figure all this out.

One person says to flash the cf autoroot for sprint then twrp then extsdfix.zip then backup the aboot which I know literally nothing of.

If yours is indeed the Verizon note edge dev edition, could you please help me, I'm not new to android and have used odin to Root 2 different devices and to fix 2 other devices, all of different os's and makes/models.

The thread in working through is the "possibly bricked edge" thread and I'm getting more and more confused.

Congrats on the baby. That's awesome. Is this your first?

Boy or girl?

I have a 3 yr old and a 3 month old and time really really flies now. Makes it hard to work here lol.

Congrats again!!!

Your version of odin isn't overly important just affects where you put the twrp file. Use either ap slot or pda slot you won't have both so don't fret that you won't know which one for your version. I don't mean to try to undermine what anyone else has said so far as those methods will work, I just don't believe in extra steps. CF installs custom recovery then flashes the supersu update then reverts back to stock recovery this is why the sprint version bricks your phone because you don't have a sprint device so the stock sprint recovery will not work for you. This then creates a new step where your phone is now soft bricked and you have to flash twrp in Odin to unbrick. Sooo essentially you are doing this all twice especially when you go into twrp to flash the extsdcafdfix.zip you could just flash supersu at the same time yourself and save the CF step. However for anyone who has already tried CF and are now crying cause they have a $900 dollar paperweight, this will definitely save you. :)
[Note Edge General] Vorridor:
I don't have a brick yet, I'm still all stock, haven't even put it into download mode yet.

So if I have this right, I just open Odin, put twrp in the pda slot and click start.

Then boot up into twrp, and flash the extsdfix.zip, and then reboot to system and it's already rooted?

Also did you ever get the stock recovery to flash, and does you calling and such still work?
[Note Edge General] NekoShinigami:
Supersu. It isn't pre-rooted. Downloading from market doesn't work tho you have to flash the supersu zip in the link I provided. Do that in twrp just like the extsdcardfix

Also I never was able to obtain a stock recovery so you still will have twrp. All my stuff works however take my advice and make a backup in twrp first before changing anything.

I had a problem that caused my texts and calls to stop after installing xposed framework and wanam and the external SD card r/w modules. uninstalling didn't fix it either so I ended up having to get a second phone and making a backup of phone 2 to restore phone 1. I forgot to do a backup before changing anything and I paid for it by getting a second phone lol. I'm able to replicate the malfunction by installing wanam and xposed so I know that's what caused it I'm just not sure how to fix it other than restoring to a previous backup before that.
[Note Edge General] Vorridor:
I see, and yeah I forgot to add in the su.zip flashing.

Should I reboot after each flash or just do them simultaneously then reboot?

After I flash all the previously mentioned files will the phone be rooted?
[Note Edge General] NekoShinigami:
You don't have to reboot each time. Assured flashing twrp in Odin it will reboot itself you can go straight into recovery from there by holding the bottons as it reboots. Flash both zips at the same time if you like twrp allows you to flash up to 10 at a time. You will be rooted when you open supersu it will ask you either to update the binary or to disable Knox. The disable Knox one will probably hang at least it did for me but if you use the bottom left soft key to bring up recent apps then close supersu and open it again you should go straight through the second time. At that point you'll be rooted.

From here you can do any of your usual root things but at this time don't expect any Verizon roms they aren't out yet. But you still hey to tweak away and kill those annoying bloat apps.
[Note Edge General] Vorridor:
Awesome, thank you for all your help!
[Note Edge General] NekoShinigami:
Anytime. Make sure you visit [MENTION=676051]docugod[/MENTION] original post that helped me and thank him.
[Note Edge General] Vorridor:
How did you uninstall your system apps? I tried TIBU, but it says it can't find the ap file.
[Note Edge General] NekoShinigami:
I used tibu. I have the pro version but I don't think that has anything to do with it. Try freezing the apps first then uninstall. If that doesn't work use the "convert to user app" option. There is also the bloat melter thing that helps uninstall "specially protected apps" I didn't have to use that though so if you have to use that then be careful and make sure you are uninstalling something you can live without. I think the convert to user app should work in most cases like the NFL app, pen.up, and the likes. If you start going after things like s health and and the Knox stuff try freezing first. I think I remember reading somewhere you needed shealth for the heart rate monitor to work correctly which is also used in "selfie mode" on the stock camera to take pics when the facial recognition is turned on. Not sure if it will effect that or not.

Basically anything your aren't 100% sure about freeze first then see how it affects your phone.

EDIT: Also I forgot to mention I converted tibu to a system app. Not sure if that was helpful or not but I like having important things like tibu protected.
[Note Edge General] Vorridor:
I got it, I needed to update TIBU, I also got pro, but I was trying with the Modaco version since I had it readily available from my Galaxy Reverb.

Any way I'm finding that TIBU won't let me back to extsd.

I must need the extsdfix.zip

I didn't flash it yet, as ESTRONGS let's me write and erase from ext.

What do you know of the aboot if I may ask?
[Note Edge General] NekoShinigami:
Oh yea. I had the extsdcard working when I was using xposed. I haven't since then though I believe xposed isn't compatible with the edge cause every time I install it the calls and texts stop working. However when you install an app as a system app it should have rw permissions on extsdcard. If you still are having trouble then use the extsdcardfix.zip

Idk about aboot I'm still a rookie at this really myself. My degree is in PCs not smartphones XD. But I'm trying to learn the android system.
[Note Edge General] Vorridor:
I see, I will keep the convert to system in mind if it gets too annoying.

I'm not exactly a noob at android but have had my share of them and the issues that usually accompany hacking, rooting and rom'ing, though this is the most advanced phone I've had to date. I'm going on my 9th year messing with them but know literally nothing about the programing or programs to create apps.

I rooted / bricked and fixed 2 Motorola Devour's, and rooted and rom'ed 1 Samsung Illusion and 1 Samsung Reverb, all using various versions of odin and various root methods. :good:

So I've been around the block but didn't stop to read many of the signs. It's my favorite hobby but I'm always freaking busy w/kids and broke lol.
[Note Edge General] NekoShinigami:
Lol I know that feeling. I've been rooting since the original Motorola droid with the slide out keyboard. I still have it somewhere... lol I got my Droid bionic rooted the Droid x, gs4, etc. But I've always been a rom enjoyer not a contributer. I've studied pc programming but not mobile programming. Sounds like we are both in similar boats ^_^
[Note Edge General] Vorridor:
Indeed it does, my Devour's were the slide keyboard also, lol.

Back to business though,

I do confirm your method worked like a champ, for Rooting the

Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note Edge Developer Edition.

Thanks a million for all your help and time, and thanks to the Contributers / guinea pigs. Lol jk. I'm loving my snappy new phone.

If it's dev edition note edge, root using these steps....

1st

Get the necessary drivers, and Odin.

2nd

Boot into download mode.

3rd

Plug phone in to computer and let Odin recognize it

4th

Flash the twrp recovery .tar file, phone will reboot.

5th

Shut the phone down, then boot into twrp recovery and flash the proper su/supersu zip file.

6th

Enjoy the heck out of your newly rooted phone.

Thanks again guys. Much appreciated!!
[Note Edge General] hometech99:
Well, I'm in.

Ordered.

So that makes about 10 sold lol.

OK- so I'll have to beef up my coding skills, learn this new OS, etc.

Glad to be on board. I'm coming from a rooted Motorola Razr Maxx with Bloodrage ROM.
[Note Edge General] NekoShinigami:
Maybe a few more than 10 lol. I personally bought 2... but yeah... I think we need to start a thread in the Verizon specific thread now since this is definitely a thing now? I also would like to learn more about making a custom rom. I'd love to make one for this beautiful beast lol. Love this phone looking forward to when I can have 100% customization on it. Perhaps we could get together and have a group rom ^_^ would be interesting.
[Note Edge General] hometech99:
hmm---When it became available, I did the Quantity 200 trick- and it showed 98 available, and 102 on backorder. That number has slowly dropped in the last few weeks.

91 was available when I bought today.

So, that's what made me think they started with 100 available and are down to 90 available..
[Note Edge General] hometech99:
Checking that I'm unlocked

Mine has not arrived.

I'm probably going to do nothing (root etc) with it for a week or so, to make sure I dont kill the 30-day warranty incase its a bad unit.

But I never had a Samsung Smartphone--How to I boot into that "Fast" menu to make sure it says "unlocked" by the bootloader, KNOX isnt tripped, etc?

I know one of the first things I will want to do is back up that "aboot", or whatever the name is, to get my unlocked loader back incase I mistakenly do something to lock it.

I'm guessing that you need root to do that to begin with.
[Note Edge General] NekoShinigami:
Ah lol I didn't have the nerve to try the 200. My luck I'd end up with 200 of them sitting on my porch lol.

As for the root thing, probably a good idea. I have yet to receive any device from Samsung that was dead in the box or defective in any way, but there is always that one.

Technically you don't need root you just need custom recovery to backup the boot. once you flash twrp you can do the backup, however just flashing twrp doesn't give root. But if you've gone as far as to flash twrp just to backup boot you might as well go all the way and root lol.
[Note Edge General] hometech99:
OK will do.

Waiting waiting....

I ordered that 6000 mAh back (dont care about the thickness--its just I use a lot during the day, can't put it down to charge since I'm on my feet, and dont want to keep taking the back off for spare.)

I ordered a cheap eBay rubber case that Im going to mod the back out of for the expanded battery cover (I got several Xacto blades lol ;)...just to get frame coverage.

Ordered screen protector that covers the curve part of the screen.

Waiting to see if tempered glass version that covers the curve screen comes along.
[Note Edge General] Vorridor:
I'm wondering, if it's not rooted after all this, but root exclusive apps ARE working, then what do we have? And how are the apps being give root privilege? How do we actually get root?

My note edge dev edition is still on 4.4.4, will xposed framework work since I haven't updated?
[Note Edge General] NekoShinigami:
Um if you did everything here and your root apps are gaining root access then what would make you think you aren't rooted? I can assure you this method works I've done it as have several others, what you have after doing this is a fully rooted phone with a custom recovery. What you you do not have is a custom rom. Unfortunately there isn't a lot of support for this phone as it was not advertised as much as their other phones. I haven't had any free time from work lately lately to look into making anything for the device, one of the girls at work is out for a while so I am getting a lot of her hours.

Xposed killed my calls calls and texts. Not sure if it was the framework or one of the modules but something turned my phone into an alarm clock with internet. Usually I'd be fine with that since since I don't like talking on the phone but I do need to receive texts and unfortunately I need to take calls concerning my work so that wasn't good for me. If you want to try it for yourself make a full backup before just in case so you can restore. I haven't tried isolating to see which thing caused what just yet, but perhaps when I get some time off I can try it out.

Hope that's helpful.
[Note Edge General] Vorridor:
I'm not saying the method doesn't work, I confirmed it also, and I thank you for that info.

I do understand we have root through this process, what I don't understand is how we are root without a rooting app or some crazy process, my guess is, its the fact that the bootloader is unlocked thus su is granted perm's to run.

Back to the xposed and wanam issue. I want to help you figure it out...

I did do a twrp backup, and tibu backup, then uninstalled a few bloats, my phone is running fine since. I haven't installed wanam or xposed framework yet. So all is fresh when you want to start.

Let's start simple,

First, what is your OS version? 4.4.4/Kitkat?

Also what modules did you install?
[Note Edge General] NekoShinigami:
Yes we are able to obtain root in this way due to the unlocked bootloader. It allows us to just flash the twrp and install the SU binary from recovery. Flashing that SU binary is what grants the root. downloading SU from the market doesn't work because you don't have root by default so the binaries cannot update. Hope that's helpful in the regard.

As for the modules I used the xposed app to download wanam, the one that allows WiFi tether, and the one that basically does the same thing as the extsdcardfix.zip allows extsdcard as a writable place. In wanam I changed the colors of the text on my status bar and changed to circle battery then disabled the default limits on text messages to allow more than 10 recipients.

That's all I can remember atm.

OS is 4.4.4 kitkat I still have my backups of the ones it is installed on, I'll attempt to check it tomorrow when I'm off.
[Note Edge General] NekoShinigami:
TiBu the game with data, you can restore it after the reset. One of the many benefits for having root is the ability to not only backup the apk files but also any data that goes with it. As long as king user is giving you root may as well use it to do your backups.

EDIT: on another note I was able to play with my old backup files last night and sadly nothing I could change would fix anything so that system file somehow is just corrupt. I restored my newer system without data however and now I have wanam and xposed installed, I haven't changed any styles except I added full date to status bar. I also fixed SD card write permissions, disabled Knox again, disabled tether provisioning, enabled 4 way reboot menu, added screenshot to the power menu, and adjusted minor things like adding exit button to stock browser (not that I'd notice since I use Chrome lol). So far calls and text is working just fine. I have not tried to fiddle with the phone and text settings. I did notice something else I was also using "dark tube" and "gravity box" as well. Gravity box is basically the same as wanam but for vanilla kitkat roms (aosp or Google play edition) but no settings in it were used it was just installed. Everything is going so well I'm almost afraid to proceed lol. I need to get another SD card and do another backup ^_^
[Note Edge General] Vorridor:
Nice, so with a basic rooted "stock" rom, it's safe to say that xposed and wanam are a go on the install granted the internal workings of the text and call aren't tweaked with?
[Note Edge General] NekoShinigami:
At this point I'd still say absolutely nothing is safe. Lol when dealing with a rooted device anything is dangerous. However as of now I am a few weeks in with xposed and wanam and nothing negative yet. I'd say stay away from calls and texts tweaking for now, but I'm pretty sure at this point it had to do with the gravity box I had previously installed. As always definitely make a backup of system and data before any changes. It's pretty wise to keep a separate backup of just boot as well if you tinker with anything that even remotely relates to boot, boot animation, or boot sequences, or even has a picture of a boot anywhere in the app lol. If you mess up your boot partition you might as well throw your phone right out the window. Def want a backup of that ^_^. Other than that the xposed module for SD card access is "safe" as well if you didn't utilize the sdcardfix.zip, which I did not. TiBu and es working like a charm writing to SD card. I'll try to have more to report next time i get a day off.
[Note Edge General] Vorridor:
Awesome, what method of installing xposed did you use? Could you post links to the files? Did you just install wanam from the playstore?
[Note Edge General] NekoShinigami:
I used the xposed installer and in initial there are links to wanam and the kitkat SD card access app. :/ I cannot seem to attach a file to the post from the XDA app. But I think I got it from here on XDA when I get home I'll look for a link for you
[Note Edge General] Vorridor:
That would be great thanks in advance.
[Note Edge General] NekoShinigami:
ok i am unable to locate it's original post, but here is the file. i used TiBu to make a backup then used 7zip to extract it lol.

i am thinking i may have gotten it from the galaxy s4 forum since that was the phone i used before, and i know i never used it on my bionic.

after installing the framework latest version you can install wanam from the list of modules.

Need OS

OK...I got into trouble with Chainfire's Pry-fi mac randomizer.

I had done an EFS Pro backup before. Also a backup in TWRP.

I also, I thought did 2 copies of twrp backup.

I needed pretty much to wipe everything to get rid of Pryfi's lock on my wifi (which doesn't let wifi run.)

Now, when I restore in TWRP, it says "No OS".

So, if there is no OS in the TWRP backup, could it be in the zipfile made by EFS Pro (the windows program)?

How can I flash that EFS Pro-made zip file while in TWRP?

Is there a system image somewhere ?

My phone just reboots from the first load screen that has the Unlocked symbol.
