how to root

Can anybody point me to a tutorial/instructions, preferably with a video, on how to root my Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 4 (N910PVPU4COG5) running Android 5.1.1? The tutorials online have so many broken links, outdated software links and outdated info on the software required as the options are not the same.

I am unable to find a working method for accessing ADB and Fastboot as when I have them installed and click the .exe files, an extremely fast cmmand prompt screen flashes through and then nothing.

I am trying to use Odin V3.0.9 to install my TWRP recovery .img file but it is not taking and idk why. I put my phone into download mode, select the file in the "AP" option in Odin and click start. My phone then has a green bar that finishe but it still just says "downloading" even though the green bar has completely finished loading.

I would so much appreciate links to the proper software programs required to root and correct recovery .img file if possible and a video/picture tutorial. I'm sorry, I'e never had so much issues with rooting any other previous android pone's since rooting first became a thing after androids were first made.

Gee, I wonder how that's supposed to prove anything or be somewhat humorous .
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] LMMT:
It's funny enough to me. So, to be perfectly clear, you make what I consider an insulting post, to one of the members of our community, that offers countless hours of his time, fixing problems, and providing workarounds for issues. You lash out at the OP, when it is your own laziness, or lack of knowledge that's gotten you in your situation. We've all been in frustrating situations, with our hobby (moddding and customizing our phones). When this happens to me, and I see that the tool, or apk, or whatever, has 3,495 downloads, and no one else has my issue, I assume that I am the one doing something wrong. If I still can't figure it out, I do even more research, and as a last resort, politely explain my issue, and ask for help.

Perhaps I shouldn't have made that post, and admittedly, 'thanks count' may not be a good measure of a members' ability, helpfulness, but in this case...
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] wrchad23:
The green bar will stay up after Odin finishes. Once it does you can hold down volumn down, home, and power to reboot. It takes like 10 seconds though. However, I would recommend just pulling the battery.

So basically all you need to do is:

Use Odin to flash TWRP recovery to your Note 4 in download mode (uncheck automatic reboot in Odin)

Once Odin says it's finished pull the battery and unplug it

Leave it off for 10 seconds, put the battery back in and this time hold volume up, home, and power to get to TWRP recovery

Do the wipe options being careful not to wipe the internal storage data or wherever you put the 5.1.1 ROM zip file (read the prompts thoroughly)

Click on Install, select your ROM zip that you moved to the storage and let it install.

That's really it.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] DAE51D:
I bought a used Note 4 which had the OTA 5.1.1 update already on it. I rooted using CF-Autoroot

http://www.android.gs/root-galaxy-note-4-using-cf-auto-root-and-odin/

And following these directions in this thread.

But then I installed BusyBox from the app store and it completely ****ed me. Apps were crashing, no networking, SD and Internal cards weren't visible (but I could see them from shell as root only), no ADB, it was a mess. :(

So instead of just wiping and resetting (to maintain root), I stupidly flashed this ROM, where this asshole indicated it's a rooted rom when he says "In case root access is what is very important for you, luckily, the PG5 update has already been rooted too. ", but actually isn't as you can see in the comments section. #FML

http://www.theandroidsoul.com/n910pvpu4cog5-stock-firmware-for-sprint-galaxy-note-4-82773/

NOW, when I try CF-Autoroot it fails (which seems strange since shouldn't I be back to the same stock 5.1.1 ROM I had when I bought this?)

I have enabled "developer mode" AND enabled USB Debugging

My bootloader is the default one now too and TWRP is gone.

When I try to put this TWRP it fails:

I found this note here: "you need to turn off the reactiveation lock, which is under the security in settings.". I don't know if my fingerprint security was also a factor, but I disabled all my security features too just to be sure.

Did you find post #56 in this thread in your search for a good tutorial? (Rooting steps for stock OG5).

There's also two threads in our general forum. One for rooting stock (OP is duplicate post from above) and another for upgrading to OG5 and flashing a pre-rooted custom ROM.

I think we have it covered without the confusion and frustration. There's even some of us users that frequently point that direction and help when frustration sets in. You vented a bit but I think the venting belongs to those that earned it.

Maybe you posted to guide those that may be considering following those links? But following your steps would be redundant if using CF Auto Root. It works but it's quicker, less steps and less of a risk flashing one recovery. CF Auto Root writes the old KitKat recovery and is known to cause issues if omitting the kernel exploit that Beastmode kernel includes. Check out the post and threads mentioned above and see if those are better guides than you found.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] DAE51D:
Thanks for reply. I did use that post in my trials and tribulations too.

My main reason for the reply there was to point out the critical part that you need to turn off the reactiveation lock, which is under the security in settings (and possibly the fingerprint as well -- I did just to be safe) or you can't flash with Odin and you're dead in the water no matter what method you try.

Good to know about CF-Autoroot. And I did not re-do that this time, once I got Odin to flash, I followed what #56 did.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] samep:
Absolutely critical. Thanks for sharing.

The step has been mentioned elsewhere many times in XDA going back to OE1 update where most of the frustrations began but it's not in the tutorial. Just realized you also posted a missing step that caused some additional searching back on post #157. We try. Maybe we'll try harder for the next user.

[MENTION=4201465] DaggettBeaver[/MENTION]

Please review posts 157 and 170 for simplicity. Basic steps are implied for those very familiar with root and Samsung phones but may have others searching despite arriving at a preferred help post/thread. TIA.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] jamice4u:
If I flash this Rom will it wipe my phone?
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] beezar:
Hmm, are you sure you had root access? I'm pretty sure CF autoroot does not work on 5.1.1 to gain root, only works on previous Android versions. Maybe I'm missing something.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] samep:
I'm not recommending this but I think it still works if one followed the steps precisely:*

1)Odin CFAUTOROOT without auto reboot

2)Odin TWRP without auto reboot/battery pull

3)Flash Beastmode in recovery.

*No reboot until all flashed.*
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] beezar:
But why would you need cf auto root here? If you are on 5.1.1, you can just do steps 2 and 3 you listed above to gain root. And download supersu off play store
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] samep:
I haven't found a need to. Following freeza's example, his method is less risky. That is why I recommend his method.

You asked a question. I answered. I didn't doubt it couldn't work. Just suggested a better way.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] freeza:
Working on a ROM bros...:)
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] kenjesse:
Looking forward to it
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] LMMT:
Can't wait. Are you still with Sprint, or did you make that change?
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] samep:
Oh this is great. I'm still playing with rooted stock with Beastmode.

[MENTION=309990]freeza[/MENTION], still wishing for an Enforcing kernel. No rush but I'm anticipating those kernel tweaks you've mentioned finding working on the other devices you've been helping with.

Advice on clean install of ROM everyone: don't make the mistake I made with Titanium update.zip; the /data/app directory got built as if the phone was KitKat (No folders with apk and subfolders for lib and arm). Updates we're leaving those old apk's in the directory. Uninstalled those apps and extraneous apk's and wiped cache and dalvik-cache and 5.1.1 is snappy again. Looking at the update.zip updater-script, it totally ignores proper Lollipop directory.

[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] OKAstro:
Strange behavior - Not all of my photo thumbnails show when I connect to my PC via USB and view them on my PC in Windows Explorer (both Win 7 and Win 8.1). I see an icon instead.

When I copy them to my PC, I can see all of them. I have tried various settings on both PC's, but no luck. I have even tried copying them from my PC back to my Nexus 6, but nada...only some show up...rest are icons. I can see all thumbnails however in ES File Explorer

It would appear that it's a phone setting/file issue.

Any ideas?

EDIT: When I right click on one of the thumbnails, the properties menu has a Resource tab with the pic of the thumbnail. When I right click on one of the icons, the properties menu has no Resource tab

I just got my t-mo dash yesterday. I installed active synch and everything. I dont have a data plan or anything but i thought that if i plugged my dash into my usb port with active synch running, it would use my regular internet over the edge. Can i do that?? I dont want to run up a huge data bill. Also on the top center of the phone i see a 'E' in a box. What does this mean?? does this mean i'm connected to edge?? Thanks in advance.
[HTC Excalibur] Intergalactic:
"E" Edge and 3G is Coming To T-Mo!

:confused: The "E" symbol let you know you are using the Edge data speed network, but T-Mo is getting ready to change according to the FCC, because they have applied for use of 3g phones, still they will be backward compatible with Edge.!:D
[HTC Excalibur] .PoNeH:
If you are connected to your computer directly, why would you want to use the Dash to surf the net? Might as well use the computer no?!
[HTC Excalibur] dragony:
The E in the middle means you are in area with EDGE service. If you are actually connected to the net and using EDGE service, which means you are being charged, you will see a smaller E on the signal strength indicator.
[HTC Excalibur] kc2607:
Stopping E

You can try stopping so that it doesn't show E. Go to Comm Manager there would be an icon in center with phone image (at number 5 on my dopod). This should be enabled. Select this and it goes off. Not sure if this will affect call placing/taking capabilities or any other service on your phone. If you have automatic update of your emails or any other services which connect automatically to Internet, you will see this E icon coming again on your phone.
[HTC Excalibur] chaznet:
I think you misunderstood. From fully reading his post, it appears he wants to make sure he isn't using Edge and incurring some sort of 'ala carte' data charges from T-Mobile.

If you're not paying for a data plan, you're not accessing the net via Edge -- so you're fine... Edge carries both voice and data services. (that is if you're a US T-Mobile customer, not sure how it works in other countries)

Is it possible to have a different pw for the encryption and for screen lock?

E.g. pw "1234" for encryption and "12345" for screen lock?
[Nexus 6  General] kakazsh:
So I just grabbed my phone and saw a staple attached to my camera lens! Somehow the camera appeared to be magnetic right on the lens!

Now I'm worried a little bit because this could potentially scratch the lens since it's attracting ferromagnetic metals.

Is it common or just happens to be only my unit?
[Nexus 6  General] kekinash:
Mine is the same, I think is the stabilization system that uses electromagnets. Or the auto-focus...
[Nexus 6  General] Riktar:
I use a magnetic car mount and if place it too high it will start distorting the camera. I now understand why
[Nexus 6  General] kakazsh:
Interesting. Didn't think the magnet would be so strong in that little camera unit.
[Nexus 6  General] daryllh:
Nexus 5 had the same issues.
[Nexus 6  General] oOflyeyesOo:
Most phones have a magnet around the camera, they also make this little magnetic len's to add filters and zoom, not sure if they are even being made anymore, i just remember them on the OG Evo.
[Nexus 6  General] kf2m:
That is correct on both. Permanent magnets, and voice coils are used for near instant precision placement of the sensor, and lens.
