I heard reports that not even OF5 nandroid was available to downgrade to after OG5 update. Don't know if that means OF5 tar will flash or not?

You can't get into recovery but you can boot into system. Have you tried the factory reset in Settings/Backup and reset? If not try the factory reset in stock recovery after Odin stock tar. When you're flashing the stock tar, make sure you pull battery 30 seconds prior to download mode.

Hmmmmm,, tried cwm flash, and then it booted right into recovery, then flashed kernel and su and voila,, system up an running, seems ok, i'll monitor and report back. didnt think cwm would work but it did!
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] samep:
Yeah, that's another trend that's been reported. Many of us still use TWRP. I think it had to do with tripping that reactivation lock with Odin. Once done, TWRP can't deal with it, (in theory, maybe others agree). Older versions of TWRP have been recommended for similar problems recently.

Try that build.prop line I suggested earlier.

ro.HOME_APP_ADJ=1
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] DaggettBeaver:
You're right about the AP slot. I fixed it in one place I posted those steps, but obviously not everywhere.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] samep:
That's cool. It's good that it's there in all those places that users will find, if updated.

You could do us all a favor if you also include the CWM recovery as a step if reactivation is tripped and TWRP can't flash. That's got little confirmation but I think it applies.

And if you can get confirmation on adding ro.HOME_APP_ADJ=1 to build.prop to put a stop to slow wake and launcher response, that would be good to add as well.

Thanks.

Thanks, don't know what i used before. Off topic, but what modules did you use to get 7 hours sot?
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] samep:
For me, I don't think it's a module that gets me that. I credit the Beastmode kernel and L Speed Mod (default settings) plus stats I get are mostly above average, anyway. On KitKat before Lollipop, I was getting better SOT. Max SOT was 10.5 vs 8.5 hours on Lollipop.

Another user tried to use my ROM with much of this integrated and debloated but was only getting 6.25 hours max SOT. He went back to KitKat. Seems if I try too hard, the stats go down. I tried the Xposed Eye Preserver and the stats went down slightly.

Just debloat, dump cache on blacklisted apps every 12 hours and watch for apps that try to run in the background; close them (browsers and Google Play Music are my worst offenders regarding that). Use an ad-blocker and get rid of offending applications, freeze Sprint Connections Optimizer when not needed, get rid of Sprint bloat (no ID or Zone; use a phone number and browser instead, put Sprint customer service number in contacts with (area code) space xxx-xxxx and you won't get the app not found business when dialing direct number from contacts. I got rid of gmail app way back in KitKat. Since the Android security required new run lesser security with the email app, I switched to Type Mail; the only thing that bothers me with it having to manually select each XDA notification email to delete. Seems search or a long press should give the option to delete them all but it doesn't.

1 day after rooting my phone,the Launcher freeze then phone hang up and auto reboot..may be this is a kernel issue? I modified build.prop to reduce the lag.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] Darth-Kadd:
Does anyone know if this kernel would allow root on a galaxy note edge? I have the sm-n915w8 variant. I'm only asking because I know the emotion kernel works on both the note 4 and note edge
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] samep:
What build.prop edit was made? Did you reboot to implement the changes? Are you using the back to kill for root application? It's been known to kill the launcher unless its priority is bumped.

FWIW, this kernel doesn't have the fingerprint or launcher lag or freeze with Android 5.0.1 The OG5 modem and kernel actually give a bump in battery SOT to OB7 software.

How come when I download and go to flash TWRP from odin the file cannot be found because my computer sees it as a .img and not a .tar the file name is .tar.img when its downloaded.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] samep:
I just deleted all my OG5 downloads so I don't have the stock OG5 system partition in front of me ATM. Did you install SuperSU beta with the zip or did you let TWRP install it for you? The theory was that TWRP wasn't silencing the Knox notifications like CFAutoRoot did. AFAIK, the zip was supposed to silence the same notifications.

No idea if they're still the same name and location as OB7 but here's what it was unless someone else can be more specific. (Knox and ItsOn)

[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] anees02:
If i want to try stock kernel is it any possibility to work in a rooted phone?
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] samep:
Sorry. OG5 stock kernel is for un-rooted phones only. If you have su binary and app and flash the stock kernel you'll boot loop and find it very difficult to recover again.

Just remember root on OG5 requires a kernel exploit. Now we rely on kernel developers for root; most likely this trend continues going forward. As early adopters of the update discovered, no root until the source is released. Thanks freeza. He's posted that he's working on an Enforcing kernel but so far, his permissive kernel has demonstrated greater compatibility I've seen in permissive kernels at time of release. I've been running it since and look for better things to come from his kernels. I believe this as close as you get to stock ATM.

IDK if the OP link was fixed but it's been posted a few times. Here it is again.

https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24052804347789588
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] anees02:
Thank you for the clarification.

But i want to know what is the difference between permissive and enforcing kernel?
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] samep:
The Enforcing kernel would allow security updates that Samsung pushes to be installed and applied. Just how effective is it? Samsung didn't or couldn't patch stagefright vulnerability with it and now there's been discussion of Samsung and Google increasing security updates as firmware updates. Seems to be a hole in the Enforcing patch process. Maybe it's limited to policies; I'm just guessing.

Permissive is less secure. It won't allow the security updates to be updated either.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] DaggettBeaver:
Enforcing uses strict access controls for files and directories. Permissive is less secure against malware, but as it's easy to avoid malware on Android, I wouldn't worry about it.

Freeza you'r like a beautiful mind if you ran for president i would vote for you lol
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] lilram:
laggy?

I just installed twrp recovery along with this root methods everything works however I wanted to know if anyone else's phone locks up randomly frequently expecially the keyboard. I wiped the cache and daliwk already and it still does it
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] samep:
Are you killing an app with long press back to kill with keyboard open? I've seen that occur with about a 5 second black screen using back to kill because it kills the launcher too.

Either way, you may be complaining of the 5.1.1 update how it lags home, fingerprint unlock and wake? It's been recommended to enable developer and set the animation to zero maybe. Also, some launchers have an aggressive desktop feature or keep launcher in memory feature you can enable. Or just add this to your build.prop if it isn't there:

ro.HOME_APP_ADJ=1

Save and reboot.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] jhill110:
President? I don't know about that but... Tech czar... Oh ya! ?
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] lilram:
I had the phone running on 5.1.1 for about 2 weeks before rooting and did not have this lag. The entire phone randomly locks up for a second or two and then comes back. It happens no matter what I'm doing.

I have s voice and Google voice turned off. I also have animation all set too 0
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] anees02:
It maybe 5.1.1 issue.

But you used your phone 2 weeks with stock 5.1.1 rom without root,did you notice this lag before rooting?
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] lilram:
Ops I'm sorry should have proof read.

I did not have laggys before rooting.

After root it's randomly locks up for a few seconds
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] anees02:
Since i have the same issue and i want to ask you do you have BeastMode kernel by freeza maybe this kernel cause the issue.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] lilram:
No its all stock expect for the recovery which it twrp and the root method on this forum
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] anees02:
I used the root method in this forum by applying cf-auto root by chainfire.

But my device stucked with bootloops.

But when i flashed the BeastMode kernel my device boots-up successfully.

Then i think that there's no way to root 5.1.1 without using BeastMode kernel by freeza.

Is it another way to root the device?
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] samep:
Custom kernels for Android 5.1.1 will have the exploit. Or you can just Odin custom recovery and flash pre-rooted ROM which will also include kernel exploit.

Makes CFAutoRoot redundant. Use custom recovery, kernel exploit and SuperSU zip to root stock. Odin stock recovery and pre-rooted ROM for OG5 root.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] lilram:
So then I did use the beastmode method because you're right chain fire root causes bootloop for me too.

Twrp with beastmode but I can't figure out why my phone is so laggys
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] anees02:
A lot of users suffering from screen unlock lagging issue i noticed that even in other forums than xda.

And all of them have 5.1.1 version of Android and i want to know is this stock firmware issue or custom kernel issue?
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] lilram:
I'm on the same boat however mine doesn't only happen with unlocking the screen. Anyone have a solution

Honestly though a rooted laggys phone is better then a nonrooted nonlaggy phone
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] DaggettBeaver:
Maybe try installing one of the other kernels, like the AEL kernel? That's what I'm using (4.2). No lag here, but I didn't have lag with Beastmode kernel, either.

You can either install Echo Creations Pro from the play store (it's not free) or find the kernel on the Echoe Creations web site.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] freeza:
I plan on updating this kernel in the coming days to include a few fixes and tweaks that I've discovered while working on the Note Edge.

As for lag, I'm not entirely sure where it's coming from yet as I'm not on TouchWiz at the moment, but if it is kernel related, I will resolve it.

In other news, I may not be here on the Sprint forums anymore. Sprint has managed to screw me over and I'm now sitting with a $645 charge on my bill for a phone that I don't have and was sent back to them (tracking confirmed). So, with that said, I may be switching to T-Mobile if I can't get this resolved and so far it has been unsuccessful. I've been fighting with them over this for the past month with no resolution in sight. I refuse to pay for a phone I don't have. Anyway, if I do leave, I'll try my best to still support everyone on Sprint since there's very little development going on in the Sprint forums.

My tablet, tab pro 12.2 just received Android 5.1.1 update the other day. We lost root. Twrp works, bootloop on SuperSU.

I'm going to attempt to compile kernel from source tomorrow. I have a good idea how to set selinux to permissive but how do I remove root restriction and add adb root support? Just need a pointer on what files to edit.

Thanks, and I hope you can help!
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] samep:
Back to the discussion about rooted 5.1.1 being laggy or this kernel contributing to it, I'm running the stock Odex from tx_dbs_tx OB7 to OG5 tar ball, keeping OB7 bootloader. I rooted with Beastmode and SuperSU beta 2.49 and confirmed the Knox has stopped messages persist at boot and change of user.

I also confirmed but don't know why debloat isn't an easy task with updater-script in recovery despite a few methods existing that don't really work anymore. Here's a method that works but requires root but apparently, that's where the complaint is directed anyway.

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=58068827&postcount=1

I've only debloated, added some mods and edited build.prop and see no lag in wake with fingerprint scanner unlock, home screen or odd or laggy pull-down. Only thing I haven't tested is the stock launcher; I'm running Nova Launcher. And since I'm running Odexed, no Xposed.

I ran this kernel on OB7 and only saw an issue with proximity with handset calls not dismissing screen on calls held to ear. I had no other real complaints but wanted to continue running this kernel because it's good on battery. I setup OG5 yesterday with a several reboots and optimizing apps but still managed to get 7 hours SOT on a single charge with no plugin time. Proximity happily works on OG5 as it should.

I think the lag on stock rooted phones is the coexistence of ItsOn and Knox and possibly minor tweaks on build.prop but it's not this kernel or the firmware. I didn't have to zero the animation settings in developer mode either.

I do hope to see more development on this kernel and a custom baked ROM as well. There's so much potential...

This isn't even a REAL root (if you get what i mean).

I cant root my Sprint Note 4 on 5.1.1 with this bogus root method. You needed to have had your device previously rooted and have a custom recovery installed. That is all I hear "custom recovery custom recovery custom recovery" from every website pretending this is a full on root when its just a root for a device that has remnants from it's previous root.

If you disagree, then how can i root it from scratch? No previous root history, nothing, nada. I need help or a link.

In the future, when you can't comprehend the direction that many in this thread have naturally followed, don't quote the OP or refer to a tried and true method as bogus. Root has changed if OG5 is the version of Android you now have is 5.1.1

It's safe to say all previous tutorials that exist on older versions no longer apply. You obviously came to the right thread if you're holding a Sprint Note 4 that you'd like to root. Just a little reading and comprehension is all that's required.

BTW, your theories about previous root being a prerequisite are incorrect regarding Sprint Note 4. Custom recovery? Spot on; but that shouldn't be a criticism, embrace it or forget root.

And you really shouldn't leave this thread without thanking the developer for his contribution. (If you succeed that is; try again, need further help? Try another approach; this one is not working for you).
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] DAE51D:
There is a critical step here you forgot to mention between #4 and #5 that has had me pulling my hair out (and some other poor soul on here too) :(

You now need to enter your phablet in download mode; first turn it off (press power button and select “power off” or press and hold power key for a few seconds) and then you have to press and hold Power, Volume Down and Home buttons at the same time.

THEN you "start" on Odin. If you just have the phone in normal every-day mode you get some failure log message after "<ID:0/003> SetupConnection.."

[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] samep:
You may not have noticed but I was the one reporting the sensor problem not being compatible with OB7/5.0.1 stock. Not a criticism; the kernel supports OG5.

I also reported the sensor is fully compatible with OG5/5.1.1 stock. I've been running this kernel exclusively since it released; it's stable and yields excellent battery SOT (best I've seen since leaving KitKat). I wouldn't be running it if I had major issues with it. Among the custom kernels out there, this one is unique; running stock rooted, I've not succeeded in finding a better balance of consistent performance and battery efficiency. If you like the stock feel, this is it.
