I'm just going out on a limb here. It may get closed, but when the same questions keep being asked and our root thread keeps going off topic it makes it hard for devs to even take it seriously. For the progression of root, those technical threads need to stay clean of side chatter. At least there is a place for people to go to have some of the popular questions answered. As a community we need to help each other and that doesn't happen by telling people to get lost because there technical skill is lower than the rest of the guys participating. I see no reason this thread cant have a chance. While I do believe we dont need anymore root threads, this one will be able to cut down on those post too.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] Stryke_the_Orc:
The way the Gear VR works is the api for that device grants the applications a hardware level access to connect, this means they basically have root access. Now these last I saw of this was a while ago and the vulnerability is pretty well known at this point, so patches are a possibility and it's also possible that it doesn't grant the correct permissions for attaining root, the report was pretty vague in that respect.

Now on to separate matters, do we really need another root discussion thread? I'm going to temporarily allow third one, let's see if it can stand on its own because I like the concept here and the op is pretty well organized. Keep in mind though, most of the chatter will be identical between the two threads, so it may not last.

Good luck guys.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] veteranmina:
Figured I'd mention this, looks like people in the AT&T side have possibly found an SYSTEM (not bootloader) exploit!

Thank you so much for the explanation, sir.

BTW, please don't close this thread because it's gonna be a stress relief for us non-devs people to gush our b!tching about root here since we are not willing to clutter those active threads with our useless posts. [emoji16] [emoji23]

Thank you in advance.

They have definitely found something VERY promising. Even jcase chimed in stating that the bootloader isn't actually encrypted which amazing news for us. Vulnerability exists in the note 4 and they're catching it very soon. So exciting.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] scarygood536:
very promising indeed. In the event we receive root in the coming days, I will rewrite this thread into a noob guide.

[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] jayochs:
just a heads up, the att root thread was closed by moderators because the tards over there were much like the tards over here and couldn't keep off topic posts out of the discussion... i. e, how much they love devs, the phone, or hate the phone, or telling others root will come soon and to be patient.

either way, if the same people keep posting bs in our thread, it'll be closed too.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] phobia09:
The good news is that orc said that that thread will open when real progress is made, so if we see that thread reopen, we will know we're in business.

So this post isn't pointless and because this thread is for non-devs, I'll let people know where things were in that thread last.

There are two known CVE's that both the Verizon and AT&T Note 4 are vulnerable to. These CVE's, once exploited, will be a two-pronged attack and will likely achieve root. The developers are now trying to compile an apk that can implement these exploits. The mood from the devs wasn't so much "guessing" or "maybe", it was a mood of confidence. Many of them truly believe these CVE's will lead to root.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] rrjskj:
I was wondering if we could implement something like safestrap or if anything like it could be used . I was just looking up info as for possible solutions for root and happened to come across this I hope I'm not off topic or derailing the thread if so I apologize in advance

http://gs5.wonderhowto.com/how-to/i...loader-locked-galaxy-s5-at-t-verizon-0156728/

Never mind sorry folks I just realized that the device had to be rooted in order to use safestrap I'm apologize please carry on..
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] freddy0872:
It is a good question but however with safestrap you must have root access in order to install it into the system. I used it in the past on my DROID bionic. It hijacks the boot process giving you a form of custom recovery.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] rrjskj:
Lol I just realized that after I reread what the steps are in order to use it sorry I thought I might have been onto something thanks for the fast response though

:)
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] freddy0872:
No problem! This is the non dev thread. Shouldn't be any bashing for questions like that.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] rrjskj:
While doing a search to see if there was root for my wife's lg g3 I stumbled across this it says it can root any android device I thought it might be useful so here goes

http://androidxda.com/download-root-genius
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] JOSHSKORN:
Don't take my word for it completely, but if I remember correctly from some thread, the Galaxy Note 4 has a newer Kernel version, therefore would not be subject to the same exploit as the LG G3.

From what I understand, you need an unlocked bootloader for that, let alone, root as well. Again, don't take my word completely for it. Achieving root will give apps root access, but it won't allow us to change our bootloader and load custom ROMs....if I'm wrong, please someone correct me on this.

@ the OP...can you use some other color other than bright green? It's a little hard to read, but if I'm the only one, don't just change it for little ole me. Also, if I'm correct regarding (not) being able to install Safestrap and do custom ROMs, can you add that to the OP as well? Just want to help reduce redundancy. Very good thread as well. Thanks!
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] DrUnkeN_TiGeR:
So did you try it? I doubt it works
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] rrjskj:
Tempting but I think I'm going wait like everyone else . I'm not that eager to throw my device away since my wife got it for me for valentine's day lol. I just thought maybe a Dev or someone with skill or know how might be able to take a look at it . @ JOSHSKORN I get what your saying but going by what the article said it wasn't just specifically for the lg g3 it said all android devices
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] slimc84:
I highly doubt that this will work. Vroot states that it will root any phone as well, but no luck.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] Android.Ninja:
Will not root the Note 4. Has already been tried .
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] eskomo:
Bootstrap is for devices that DO NOT have a unlocked bootloader. You must have root access though. If you had a unlocked bootloader then you wouldn't need bootstrap as you have full control of the device. Bootstrap is a workaround that allows you to install roms into slots and sort of acts as a custom recovery without all the permissions that come with a true recovery. You must use roms that are using the kernel currently on your device as you can not change the kernel without a unlocked bootloader.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] kaminczak:
Been out of the loop. I've been waiting to buy a developer Note 4 as I'll be upgrading my Note 2 out of contact to keep unlimited. I caved yesterday and bought retail, but I was under the assumption that even though I'd have to deal with a locked bootloader, I could at least root to do things like freeze bloatware or tether and such.

If I'm understanding this right, currently, there's essentially nothing outside of using the phone full retail that I can do? I am going to miss tethering for sure. I offered to pay for Hotspot but was told that would kill the unlimited.

There any way to deactivate this phone and reactivate the note 2 when I need it? Sorry if that last question is a tangent to the thread. I didn't realize that there's not been any milestone in progress even with rooting the device.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] :
If the sim cards are the same size all you need to do is swap sims to use the Note 2.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] kaminczak:
I asked the gentleman if I could just swap it and he said the note 4 one had nfc so no. Maybe he wasn't answering if I could use this one in the note 2. Can try.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] AtlAndroid:
I did my homework, but failed to notice that there are two versions of N910V until after purchase.

You cannot root for certain. I am uncertain about alt ROMS and recoveries via Safestap

That is a VZ contract issue, not a technical limitation. I am on the 10-G edge plan, and tethering is included. My usage, however, is metered and has been for some time.

It's a SIM based phone, shouldn't be to difficult. Have you tried just swapping the sim?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] :
It shouldn't be a problem. Give it a try, it will either work or not. It's not a big deal if it doesn't. According to this thread you can tether without root. Use this to disable apps without root. With the two links I provided your Note 4 will be pretty nice without root.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] Mr. Toad:
You can just swap the SIM card.

Foxfi works great on the Note 4. I use it all the time to tether. If you want to pay for it I still have the option to add the $30 unlimited hotspot on My Verizon.

If I paid full retail, I would have think about the developer edition the Note 4. You can root and ROM that phone.

There are also loopholes to use your upgrade and keep unlimited data FYI.

You gave up your unlimited data for an upgrade? It's not worth it. Need that extra data when going out of town
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] themac79:
I wish I had kept my Note 3. It was almost perfect with backups of my favorite roms, but I always want the newest gadget. I know everyone appreciates the time and effort the devs are putting in to get root. I thought about selling my retail Note 4 to get the dev edition.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] stealyourface1:
are you under contract? I'm with Verizon and if there is someway I can make that work (selling my retail GN4 to buy dev ed.) w/o verizon pitching a fit, then I like to know. ..
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] Mr. Toad:
As long as you pay your bill you can do that. I sold and bought plenty of phones on Swappa and Craigslist. I never had an issue with Verizon. If your are under an Edge Agreement you should disclose that or pay it off before you sell it.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] Rapture Veteran:
It would be nice for this to get somewhere soon. I'm so sick of this garbage retail touchwiz crap that I'm THIS close to trading with someone the Note 4 for their Nexus 6. If I knew this phone was going to take this long to get root (i actually still lean to this thing never getting rooted) I would have gone Moto X or LG originally since I had to choose a new service (was on terrible Sprint) in November when the Nexus 6 wasnt available.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] guthrien:
Those notes above got me hyped we were finally close, the thread not so much. I can live without bootloader access and ROMS but lack of root is just hamstringing my enjoyment, I've started forwarding stuff to my One. So many great things about it, but no root, no lollipop, it's the stepchild of Note 4s. No one to blame but myself of course, I wanted the SPen. Well hopefully the POCs inspire someone someday soon.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] trafalger888:
I agree that at this point celebration is premature. But that is not to say that nothing will come of it in the end. I just think its too early to celebrate
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] oneandroidnut:
If you guys fully read the dev thread POC means not until it is a fully working exploit. there has been other POC but nothing has turned into a full ready to roll exploit. Buy a dev and deal with retail being locked

Isn't that what I said? That the celebration is premature? Don't understand why you're quoting me and saying that. When my comment agrees with your sentiment expressed here.

[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] rickyray9:
I think they both will get root, I just think S6 will happen sooner in respect to it's release date based on a larger collaborative effort stemming from more device sales. There is still a chance that the Note 4 will get it before the S6 is even released.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] rrjskj:
Judging by how everyone else but att and vzw has unlocked bootloaders it's possible just gonna take a long time if your with mentioned companies above. And honestly I don't know why everyone else can't see that thread. I guess by using the xda app and being subscribed to that thread I'm able to see its still there maybe it's an Internet thing.

I believe most people are waiting for lollipop. Which was expected ages ago. People didn't want to put alot of work into something only to have it lost early in the new year as we thought. However as we have seen now that has become like root. While im glad I have a DE, my wife has a retail and im hearing it all. I still believe root will be found when lollipop is out as well as alot more development.

I've been hoping that someone would bring this excellent rom to grouper/tilapia ever since jellybean. I've been "dirty" porting it from the Nexus 7 (flo) Lollipop builds for my own use on grouper. Matter of fact, I just finished porting flo version 5.3.5 but I just now found your thread and this is much, much better.:D

Btw, maybe also a thread in grouper forum would be a good idea. :)

[Nexus 7 3G Android Development] webdroidmt:
Thanks for the new release! Version 5.3.7 has been running great on my grouper, now will test version 5.3.8 and then probably sit tight until CM merges in LP 5.1.

Version 5.3.7 was an excellent release, stable with all the great extra features and the addition of being able to make a custom nav button for the power menu. I don't think any other custom rom has that feature yet but then again, I'm not checking/testing many other roms since you started building RR. :D

Thanks again for the great work and a great rom.

Hi guys,

I think I'm gonna try this one, just a little question, if you please: is the bootanimation memory leak workaround for Lollipop already into the ROM or should we copy and paste by ourself?

Thanks a lot! ;)

EDIT: oh and just a suggestion for the OP, maybe this thread should stay into the Nexus 7 section (and not just tilapia one) 'cause it also provide a grouper ROM.. ;)
[Nexus 7 3G Android Development] samsungmario:
My first stab at Lollipop with my Tilapia. This ROM did the trick - I use Xposed and after a bit of tinkering got everything working. I used Lean Kernel (modded) to run Xposed and now I am on Lollipop. Will give it a few days to observe but looks good at the moment. Cheers.
[Nexus 7 3G Android Development] zer0lab.dev:
I tried most of the (few) ROMs available for tilapia, and even the stock firmware, but this one is the best, mostly for its speed.. Not totally lag free, but quite totally.. So from lag perspective it's very good.

Unfortunately it suffers of wakelocks that keep the device active.. I'm still trying to use the Wakelocks Blocker embedded into the ROM, BTW.. Maybe it will solve this issue..

EDIT

Any suggestion how to solve the baseband_xmm_power issue that keeps the device always on?
