I emailed the team responsible for that specific box. Maybe it could be used to find some exploits that could be used by those of us who do not have that setup. Most likely it wont be of help. But, it is an avenue to look towards. There has to be some way to fully wipe a phones bootloader, OS and anything else that is a hindrance to us. If that is the case, then if it could be wiped, maybe we could load the development setup in its place. These chip sets that run devices are not created with instructions/code on the production line. So, if they are written to, they can be unwritten as well. Any way, maybe this device could prove to be a small blessing. Only one way to find out. I will let you all know if their support team offers up any helpful information. If not, then we are no worse off than if this info never cam into fruition.

Hey I have a brick I can trade you for your phone if you plan on wiping bootloaders os and kernels. Heck I'll do you a solid put a screen protector and a case on it.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] Jaytronics:
I'm not planing on wiping my Note 4. But, if I was to get the Octo. Not that I should. As I am the furthest thing from a Dev. But, I am good at taking and enacting instructions that are given.

I would purchase a used beat up device. If one is in existence. Maybe one with a bad ESN or something. But, nothing is going to happen at all if the information I get from tech support is a negative on how the device works with our phones.

Looks like the Verizon Update Software Assistant haves the ability to temporary unlock the bootloader to flash factory firmware....Maybe someone can exploit and leverage that tool. See below

Think it's a SoC thing. If all Note 4s were exynos or snapdragon there'd be a much larger pool of people wanting root.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] scarygood536:
I doubt it unlocked the bootloader. It's update assistant everything is signed code. The phone accepted the file being pushed. As the op said the lock and custom appeared , that don't mean a thing.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] AXP Bonecrusher:
I'm new here but I'm quite sure it's not a SoC thing. Let's just look at our current facts.

The Droid Turbo can be rooted and has the same S805

The Note 4 with Exynos can be rooted (exynos is not a carrier version)

The S6 AT&T can be rooted

This can lead to the assumption that has something to do AT&T software or Samsungs doing before they got all user friendly. What I don't get is why the S6 was so easy.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] MafiaIlluminati:
Stumped

That is just crazy, the last time I have seen a phone overwrite root permissions, it was because of a tiny file that has a boot command. This has been solved before in the Galaxy S4 or something like that? But I have no idea why they would do this to the Note 4. It's just baffling that this hasn't received root yet. I believe it was a .bat file that rewrote your root progress. It was so long ago that I don't remember anymore. Not sure if any of this helps, but good luck. I will keep asking around and see if anyone can help figure this out. Thanks for providing this thread. :D
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] rquinn19:
Droid Turbo is not Samsung, different securoty mesaures.

Note 4 with Exynos is a different SoC...which is my point...way more of those in the world than Snapdragon note 4's

ATT S6 uses same SoC as international, once again much larger user base trying to achieve root

It is Samsung trying to block root, at carriers request (ATT and VZW), in my opinion if the Note 4 had one SoC it'd be rooted for all as well
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] AXP Bonecrusher:
I never said there the same. I said they had the same SoC so it wasn't the S805 fault.

There is more Exynos then Snapdragons but the problem is not the lack of demand for root but the lack of people trying to find it.

As for the S6 it probably wasn't just a larger user base as when the carrier S5 came out it was wildly popular but still took a crazy long time to root it.

Also it's probably not just Samsung trying to block root as AT&T still locks phones even though manufacturers like HTC showed some support for root.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] 42Kmi.com:
An idea

I've been lurking these threads seeing how progress is going for getting root. Stay strong.

The other day I was messing with Kingroot. My phone rebooted and custom lock appeared. I know that that's been addressed before and it doesn't mean much, but on a whim as soon as I saw the lock, I removed the battery, reinserted it and powered on the phone. Still got the custom lock.

Next, I removed the battery again, powered on the phone to recovery mode. It read that the phone was still in custom mode. I repeated again, but instead booted to download mode for Odin.

Now, I'm not too familiar with how Odin works, so I'm wondering if someone is willing to test what could happen if a rom is flashed to the Note 4 through Odin after having booted into download mode with the custom lock displayed. If it gets us any closer to root, then it is a victory
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] rquinn19:
Are you just trying to argue for arguments sake now? I said Samsung blocking at carriers request. And obviously it isn't demand for root, but people tying to find it. If everyone (worldwide) had locked down Notes like ATT and VZW I'm willing to bet root would've been found by now.

Business use drives a lot of sales and Samsung want those customers. People need Knox as a work requirement. HTC has the Dev program, but even they blocked that for ATT. LG has been notorious for being mod friendly, but AFAIK the ATT G4 still isn't rooted.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] heXacode:
This has been mentioned countless times.

The answer to these questions is WRITE PROTECTION!

How are you gonna flash anything with WP and SHA-256 being the obstacle?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] AXP Bonecrusher:
I'm not trying to argue with you but trying to say that demand is the problem isn't going to help us find a solution. Standing in front of a AT&T or Verizon store begging people to buy the Note 4 so we can find a root isn't exactly a solution. I presented a logical reason why I THINK demand or processors play nothing into this mess. If you take my statement as an argument or it offends you in someway that's your problem.

I've come to the conclusion, per root will never happen, or it would have been done by now.. Time to see about moving to another device..
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] Martinjv71:
I agree, with the note 5 coming out the lack of development on the Note 4 won't be there. People won't pay bounties as promised. The most you will be able to do is remove some apps and maybe used xposed. That's it. Too bad.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] Jaytronics:
All I want is to remove bloat and use xposed. That is what I do on the Note 3. ROMs. Great, but not needed. Just control over our devices is sufficient for a lot of us.

That frustrates me. This phone has so much potential. I'm saddened that my first Galaxy, a Vibrant, could take a beating. It was nearly impossible to brick. Granted, it also spawned my hate for TouchWiz. This is the nail in the coffin for me. I'm going to stick to dev edition phones from now on.

Unlimited data is overrated? How much would be a normal plan with 150GB a month?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] Jaytronics:
I use 30Gigs and upwards of 80Gigs. What would that cost someone? Unlimited data is only over rated to those that use very little. Personally, my opinion is that we really should keep our data opinions to our self. I think neither limited is bad or good. Same for unlimited. It is all personal preference. Personally, I pay $29 for unlimited. That is cheap. Especially when you think what cable, fios or any other land data lines cost. The minimum that I have seen is $29 for a trial period. Then the prices shoot up to $50 per month. So, my over rated unlimited line is just awesome. And, I get to take my unlimited data everywhere I go. Home, work and play. I guess I am over rated. Lol!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] ZPaul2Fresh8:
Wow, this is an old thread revived lol. My ISP has no data caps. I use 300-500 GBs on my cable Internet and not even 7 GBs between the lines on my cell phone provider. So for me unlimited data on a cell tower is overrated as I said before.

Of course some people have caps from their ISPs so I can see why they value their unlimited data so much.

When I dropped my unlimited data for 3 lines and joined a family share plan I saved about $100 per month.

$100 a month in savings is definitely worth it for me.

Phone still boots after dm-verity verification fails.

I managed to botch my OTA update to 5.1.1 somehow and now in Recovery mode I get a little tag at the bottom of the screen, "dm-verity verification failed..." except my phone still boots. I was under the impression if dm-verity failed the phone would not boot.

Erasing bootloader chip with variable voltage

has anyone tried to erase the bootloader using variable voltage?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] mrkhigh:
I think the methods beaups came out with for the droid turbo would be a promising exploit. The same chip set he exploited is used.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] elliwigy:
these threads get crazier the longer ppl go without root lol..

good for hoping but vehicle software laws, removing the BL or using an exploit for a completely different device do not help towards root..

surely if beaups moto x exploit would also work on your device then hed have released it already.. only time ive seen him not releasesomething is if is difficult for the end user or can potentially cause damage.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] mrkhigh:
... Droid turbo.

In his writeup [MENTION=711482]beaups[/MENTION] references it:

"This vulnerability appears to affect all APQ8084/Snapdragon 805 devices running all publicly seen versions of the TrustZone kernel. Some popular affected devices are the Motorola Droid Turbo/MAXX, Motorola Nexus 6, and the Samsung Galaxy Note4. This vulnerability was successfully exploited to unlock the Motorola Droid Turbo’s bootloader."

I am not a Dev, I don't even own or intend on owning this device. I've just read this forum once.

But I do know that this device shares the same snapdragon 805 that my droid turbo uses, and that the same bug affects it.

Whether it is possible or not, that I do not know. *shrugs*
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] nemopsp:
Your a bit behind [MENTION=2376614]jcase[/MENTION] already mentioned back in end of November that the TrustZone kernel exploit that was used to unlock the Verizon Droid Turbos bootloader would not work for the Note 4.
[HTC Startrek] djslash:
Hi all

Allthough I'm sure this topic is probably to be found somewhere on the net, it's not here in my fav forum.

If you want to change your startup sound, open a reg edit and go to:

\HKLM\SOFTWARE\HTC\Startup and change the WAV key to anything you want (I mean the path.)

Your start up sound wav MUST be in the windows dir on the phone, I found that out by trying, what happens is that your card isn't loaded before the all windws **** is so if you enter a SC sound you will not hear it.

If you want to change the shutdown sound, same as above but go to Shutdown there you CAN use a sound on your SC.

And EVEN if you don't turn off your phone that often it's just fun to have different sounds LOL.

For the REAL Startrek lovers check those sounds:

Replace the CWS.gif in the \windows folder with whatever you like. But this method doesn't change the very initial startup image. You will understand what i say once you try. Anyone have any idea to completely replace the statup image?

Actualy I did try indeed to change the shutdown logo (and startup) but I got nothing, so I placed the original back, and it is in deed the CWS file. Even though I got an error on copy to my device it DID replace the original.

Maybe the file has to be a certai size?

If someone know!

I just EXPECT SP users don't start complaining if the Devs delay their updates or something. Nobody could believe 2 months ago we would have Android 5.1.1 99% working (blame autobrightness for that 1%). Even to thinking in having more than 2 Lollipop based ROMs was crazy. Now the SP community is very excited about it. And everyone is praising the Devs whom brought this. I EXPECT (not hope this time [MENTION=5934815]Furrydaus[/MENTION] xD) that users be mature about it, and instead of complaining in the future... Be very thankful about all this. Sorry for the long post. Keep up the good work. I'll try this ROM as soon as I come back from work. :).
