Sadly, Chainfire will not be making auto root for new versions with locked bootloaders. Not be able to install TWRP with out root seems right to me. I've always been able to after taking my device back to stock with Odin but that is because I used Auto Root when my device was still 4.4.

I've got not info for you to root on a device that came with 5.1.1 because I've never had to deal with that. I am interested to learn when you figure it out.

Yeah, if you want to brick it unplug halfway through a Odin update then pull the battery. You will achieve the big sleep.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] frenize:
Okay im on og5 and yes im sure it's a refurb I got.

So pretty much I just need to Odin a pre-rooted rom and I'm golden? Sammy locking the BL was just to prevent downgrade?

---------- Post added at 02:58 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:55 AM ----------

Ill keep you guys updated. Im going to read the thread tonight and tackle root in the am. Its been a long month without root. Cant wait to taste freedom again ?
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] samep:
There's more OJ6 pre-rooted ROMs but they're still mostly stock with root. Freeza has a debloated deodexed ROM. It's in his OJ6 thread rather than the Note 4our thread. There may be an OJ6 update coming to that thread and other custom ROMs soon.

I mention OJ6 because if you choose that, you'd need to Odin OJ6 stock from general forum to upgrade first. Then Odin TWRP, then flash the rooted ROM in recovery.

I recommend backing up what's on internal sdcard and wipe everything but extSdCard or factory reset in stock recovery. Power down and pull battery at least 30 seconds prior to Odin stock tar. Use latest Odin with default options set and go through the setup wizard prior to Odin of TWRP and rooted ROM. You can do the wipes again to clean install rooted ROM but as a minimum, wipe cache and dalvik. Format data if developer recommends it.

To prevent binary flash error, reboot recovery after wiping if you wiped system.

Gather your stock tar, latest Odin and ROM zip. Here's where to find TWRP:

https://dl.twrp.me/trltespr/twrp-2.8.7.0-trltespr.img.tar

Unzip Odin and stock tar.md5 to a folder like /SM-N910P/Odin/OJ6 or something easy to remember. Put your TWRP img.tar in there as well.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] frenize:
Okay cool. And if I just wanted to flash a pre-rooted rom right from stock thats possible? Or do I have to root and flash recovery 1st?
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] samep:
If you're on the same update, just Odin TWRP and then flash the ROM zip in recovery.

Follow OP for instructions. Clean install recommended.

I need help whit how root note4 whit oj6 5.1.1

ood morning, could you someone please help me with my Samsung Galaxy Note 4, SPRINT, SM-N910 MODEL WITH

LOLLIPOP 5.1.1 and baseband: N910PVPU4COJ6 (last update). The problem I have is that you need unlocked, but you can only do it if the phone is root, I have all week trying different ways to do root and none have worked for me, I followed many tutorials but

it seems that this latest update needs something different and I really I'm going crazy trying to do, I'm not very good with updates, roots, in fact had never used Odin, but this week I learned to do it, thank you very much for the support you can provide

I'm just curious...I'm on OJ6 stock rooted with BeastMode 1.0 OG5 kernel. Is the BeastMode Rage 1.2 kernel found in Freeza's stock rooted rom an update to the 1.0? Sorry if this is a stupid question, I just didn't know if there was an updated OJ6 BeastMode kernel available yet. Not asking for update or eta, I'm grateful for the OG5 kernel...very grateful.

Before My N910P was rooted and was custom rom n910f. After i flashed with stock rom 6.0.1 My phone is not starting. Boot loop and after 10 to 20 secounds phone is restarting. I Flashed with 5.1.1 firmware Still same boot loop and restart. Please Help me how to solve this problem.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] galland1:
All I did was odin TWRP, flash kern and SU. I have root.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] samep:
There was that requirement to Odin flash TWRP with auto boot disabled and pull battery and USB once done (step before recovery boot). Maybe some missed that?
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] tat2me2:
Quick question, I jumped the gun and took the OTA as soon as it was available. I have no problem with TWRP and I made a backup of the new rom before trying to root with CF Root which gave me the boot loop as well - If I flash this (Beastmode) will I be able to use the backup I made before trying to root? I'm just curious - Thanks for getting this out so fast!!!

Looks like the .tar is about to be uploaded - I'll just start all over -
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] meraz9000:
Actually I checked again and the stock tar for latest update is UP! I will upload it in case someone kills their phone :p .. freeza can u pm me? I have a little request for you :)
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] Erod730:
For backup purpose, I can just odin twrp and then reboot?
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] samep:
In other updates, that caused TWRP not to stick. Try flashing with auto boot disabled, pull battery and USB when done.

I do believe Odin 3.10.6 is required for these new builds using the option tab to disable OEM lock when Odin flashing. Am I correct, guys? I've been hanging on OB7 for the all clear on updates.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] dteze88:

Hey guys i need help:(. When i try to flash twrp 2.8.7 it shows success on odin but it dosen't let me enter recovery mode on my phone. I'm running OG5
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] samep:
When you flashed TWRP, did you disable auto boot and wait for success or done and pull USB and battery before recovery boot?

Really should be using Odin 3.10.6 and go into options in Odin and disable the OEM lock before flashing in Odin.

I'm still not sure but I think you still have to disable the reactivation lock in booted Settings/Security, enable dev mode to enable USB debugging. AFAIK, no confirmation on that yet. I'm still on OB7 bootloader and ROM.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] arielovin:
That really helped a lot :D. I didn't know you needed to turn off the automatic reboot. Thanks to you i'm rooted now! Thank you very much :thumbup:

[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] DaggettBeaver:
Some tips for those who already took the OG5 OTA update and want root (will be obvious to most of you, and most of this has already been covered in other posts, but some might benefit from this guide with download links included):

1. Copy the BeastMode kernel zip to your phone or SD card.

2. Start Odin3 v3.10.6

3. Place the TWRP tar in the AP slot

4. Uncheck Auto Reboot in the options tab

5. Flash TWRP -- when it's finished flashing, disconnect USB and pull the battery for 10 seconds (on my phone, if I put the battery in too soon, it boots without pressing the power key)

6. Put the battery back in and boot to TWRP

7. Install the modified kernel zip you copied in step 1, and reboot.

8. Since you're in TWRP, might as well clear the cache.

At this point, there are a number of ways to get SuperSU on your phone. My TWRP asked me if I wanted it to install SuperSU, I said yes, but I already had SuperSU installed on my phone, anyway.

You can also use TWRP to install the SuperSU zip.

My phone complained about "KNOX has unfortunately stopped", so I just used Titanium to freeze all the KNOX apps, which cured that.

Be very patient the first time you run apps that request root. It will pop up the "grant" dialog eventually, but sometimes it's slow to do that after a boot.

NOTES: Some users are reporting that TWRP won't load. It may have to do with tripping that reactivation lock with Odin. Once done, it's possible TWRP can't deal with it. So you may be able to get around that by using Odin to install CWM recovery instead of TWRP.

Also, try rebooting recovery again after the flash to make sure the root prompt is clear. If it is booting the system, go into security and disable the reactivation lock.

Still getting the business about slow to wake or launcher not responding? Try adding the line below to end of your build.prop but have one empty line at bottom with no added spaces to the end this line:

ro.HOME_APP_ADJ=1

(thanks to samep for the added info in NOTES)

You should change your user name to Note4Barbecue or OdinBarbecue. Or maybe you should share that sauce you use with the rest of us or just cut back a bit?

Maybe try flashoholics anonymous? We're all responsible adults here. Maybe letting out your issues will help?

Group therapy is in session.

Or maybe you crashed the stock recovery with reactivation locked and actually "over-cooked" the nand flash?

But on a serious Note, I'm not sure where your issue is an issue if you can flash and root.

Are you using CFAutoRoot and wondering why you see TWRP get replaced with stock NIE recovery?

If so, stop using CFAutoRoot for OG5

And use the SuperSU zip instead.

Xposed working yet anyone knows, hope everyone is getting rooted alright
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] samep:
For Samsung TW API22 Android 5.1.1, no working solution for Xposed yet.

At least root is possible with freeza Beastmode kernel on OG5.

If you still have the OB7 bootloader, you can go back to OB7 ROM for Xposed. This kernel and OG5 modem work very well with those but the proximity sensor on handset calls fails to fade the display. At least that's what we're reporting on outgoing calls. Not completely confirmed on incoming calls but the question was posed again to the one unconfirmed.

BTW, don't try going back to OB7 unless you have the OB7 bootloader. Galaxy Tools will tell you what you currently have in that regard.

This was my battery stat for yesterday with OB7 ROM, Xposed, Beastmode kernel and OG5 modem. Thanks [MENTION=309990]freeza[/MENTION].

Are you asking a question or trying to tell me something? He asked for a link and I gave it.

In the context of the prior conversation, I was asking what the problem was, wasn't saying not to flash custom recovery. I just asked if it disappeared unexpectedly because they (2 with the same problem) flashed CFAutoRoot (which will happen)? We didn't discuss the step sequence, I just suggested they use SuperSU zip instead of CFAutoRoot so they don't have to keep reflashing custom recovery.

Wasn't suggesting to try that without custom recovery. On that note, I think the problem was resolved?

[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] samep:
You came to the right thread but the Beastmode kernel link is actually linked in freeza OG5 ROM.

https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24052804347789588

You flash that after Odin of TWRP in recovery. Attempting root without the kernel exploit will give you the boot loops. Also, flash SuperSU zip in recovery. That gives you rooted stock.

worked, kind of! once i rebooted after I flashed kernel, (it asked me to flash su, so i did before leaving twrp) system came up, installed supersu app and rootchecker,, supersu says no binary was installed, so i went back to twrp, now i can not get back into twrp..i reflashed twrp and still no access to recovery. system seems to be working fine, takes a little longer to boot, no biggie. i guess i should have installed SU binary after flashing kernel? then reboot, would that install SU and have kept twrp working fine? i think i will reflash stock and try again, but wanted to bounce this off of you guys. thanks

update: once system has been up for a few minutes,, system running unstable, can not get to homescreen, takes a few minutes for device to respond and immediately shuts off screen again.. i'll just reflash stock and start over.

update to the update: reflashing to stock,, booted funny, then after starting over with twrp flash ,, still frozen at twrp splash screen... ideas anyone?
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] samep:
I've seen several requests about su binary not installed. I believe it originates from TWRP trying to install SuperSU when the kernel exploit is missing. For starters, I wouldn't recommend letting TWRP install it; IMO, it just suggests there's a problem that needs addressing.

What I'd recommend is saying no. Flash the kernel then the SuperSU zip below.

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=55256620&postcount=1

Also, try rebooting recovery again after the flash to make sure the root prompt is clear. If it is booting the system, go into security and disable the reactivation lock.

Still getting the business about slow to wake or launcher not responding, try adding the line below to end of your build.prop but have one empty line at bottom with no added spaces to the end this line:

ro.HOME_APP_ADJ=1

See if that fixes the wake and launcher response.

Edit: the AP slot is the recommended slot for recovery and modem and stock tar. BL is for bootloader. Odin flash TWRP. Once it's done, pull USB and battery, wait 30 seconds before installing battery, boot into recovery and flash the two files, ignoring any prompts to install root or SuperSU automatically.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] sgtduckyboy:
Thanks that makes more sense now. but no matter what i do, once i flash twrp, and boot to it as detailed above,, i get the splash screen for twrp and thats it.

with system instability once in system and this issue along with shutdown takes a few minutes, i'm guesssing i tweaked something that isnt overwritten when i flash the ROM back to stock. Are there any other steps or can i roll back to 5.0 and try to take an OTA update to 5.1.1 and start over? Ideas?
