yep, good point. :) just wanted to know when we confirm TWRP is good to go: backups and restore.
[Galaxy Note5 Android Development] jpeps3:
Dose note 5 have a s.boot?? Like the s6 edge? ?

Twrp will backup and restore. Tested after my phone was already looping.
[Galaxy Note5 Android Development] sml2004:
75 secs wow
[Galaxy Note5 Android Development] CB620:
Sheesh 75secs

& Thank danon.brown as well. He helped out too.
[Galaxy Note5 Android Development] namfat:
Thanks for your confirmation. Then TWRP work, we need more effort on root with kernel.
[Galaxy Note5 Android Development] DLUX24:
Can't wait for root, so I can freeze this stupid bloatware:D
[Galaxy Note5 Android Development] namfat:
Yeah. And we have many apps need to root permission to run. :D:D
[Galaxy Note5 Android Development] jthrasher47:
with my findings it seems like the system is overriding the kernel that we flash that is why we cannot obtain root and that is why even with a custom kernel the kernel status remains stock in about device
[Galaxy Note5 Android Development] jthrasher47:
This is after your kernel is flashed... Like this system is overriding it somehow

Twrp - bootloop

I tried flashing the TWRP on my N920T Note 5, posted in OP and was able to successfully flash, access recovery and create a backup - however, when I tried to reboot the phone, all I got was bootloops - I had to restore to stock via odin to get my phone to bootup.

I see the OP said TWRP Was working on N920T - how did you reboot without getting bootloops? Am I missing something?

Suggestions?
[Galaxy Note5 Android Development] jpeps3:
As any ask the kernel maker on s6 edge my they have something? ? There on 5.1.1 too
[Galaxy Note5 Android Development] jthrasher47:
TWRP DOES NOT work yet.. It only causes bootloops when rebooting out of it
[Galaxy Note5 Android Development] mocsab:
No kidding - :) Found that out for myself, dissapointing, but glad it isn't just me - LOL - baby steps - at least we were able to get into recovery - on the S6 - it was all tied to the kernel - when 5.1.1 came out - when we first got root - you had to odin twrp - then odin the kernel with root injected - it all centered on the kernel -
[Galaxy Note5 Android Development] jthrasher47:
That is the exact same thing that is happening herethat is the exact same thing that is happening here.. Somehow the system is writing the stock kernel back after we flash the custom one it is writing it back after the splash screen
[Galaxy Note5 Android Development] mocsab:
I am pretty sure it was [MENTION=1768899]g.lewarne[/MENTION] and a few other Devs who came up with he fix - the S6 Uni-kernel was the first kernel we could flash on 5.1.1 - I sent him a PM asking him for help on this but he doesn't know me from ADAM so I didn't really expect him to reply. If anyone knows him, maybe he can help? There is also a guy who ported the Note 5 rom for the S6 - and he did some amazing kernel work too - [MENTION=4898097]arter97[/MENTION] -

If anyone knows either of these guys, maybe they can help ?

[Galaxy Note5 Android Development] TechBSwift:
It appears the phone has write protection, which overwrites all changes made once you reboot. If my theory is correct, the first step should be to turn off write protection which is doable because the bootloader is unlocked

[Galaxy Note5 Android Development] sshafranko:
So you were able to boot after odin twrp and the kernel or did you just odin the kernel?
[Galaxy Note5 Android Development] CB620:
He did both but the kernel doesn't stick only twrp
[Galaxy Note5 Android Development] jthrasher47:
I can boot after both of them but not with the kernel they got posted here. With a different kernel. We are testing right now that I have been asked not to release yet

But even still the kernel I'm using doesn't stick after boot
[Galaxy Note5 Android Development] sshafranko:
I alogise I'm a liitle confused...a couple people above are saying that they bootloop after installing twrp, how was he able to boot? is there a different twrp other than the one in post 1 that works? also I saw your post that says twrp worked for you too...I don't wanna install the wrong one. thanx

---------- Post added at 12:28 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:26 AM ----------

ohh ok I gotcha...I was worried more about the twrp. Wanted to make a back up so I'm ready. But I understand, I can wait until its all official.
[Galaxy Note5 Android Development] GAPO:
Eagerly f5'ing this even though there is no SM-N920...
[Galaxy Note5 Android Development] TechNyne66:
What's the deal with N920A? Is the bootloader locked? We have OEM Unlock in developers menu.
[Galaxy Note5 Android Development] jthrasher47:
You can boot out of twerp you just can't boot by the TW RP functions if you want to reboot just hold volume down and power until it shuts off then turn it back on and it will boot up I don't think this is cwrp related I think it is kernel related and I have a different kernel than everyone else here from a different developer that might be part of the reason I'm not allowed to share so please don't ask whenever we figure everything out we will release it.. Plus I am merely just a tester on this part with ideas
[Galaxy Note5 Android Development] dreisus:
for some reason i tried to flash twrp and its stuck on NAND write start!!.

can someone walk me through in the mean time
[Galaxy Note5 Android Development] danon.brown:
Wait for a kernel that will boot. Restart the phone.
[Galaxy Note5 Android Development] ebs512:
So if you cant even inject a custom kernel into the stock firmware, how is root even going to be possible?

Maybe it will have to be back to the oldschool way of installing root and twrp through an application?
[Galaxy Note5 Android Development] danon.brown:
What file are you using to restore to stock? Mine keeps failing on my test phone.
[Galaxy Note5 Android Development] mocsab:
Just one I downloaded from Sammobile - if you want it you can grab it from a mirror I posted http://www.mediafire.com/download/ko6rn904l6rcaed/N920TUVU1AOGE_N920TTMB1AOGE_TMB.zip

Hope that works for you
[Galaxy Note5 Android Development] sshafranko:
You can, the kernel has to be modded correctly first. No verify mount parameter in fstab i beleive is one of them...

Interesting: http://androiding.how/galaxy-note-5-root-status/ rumor is samsung pay wont work with knox tripped
[Galaxy Note5 Android Development] Jayy_Suave:
Sorry to inform you, but that's old news mate. Only one who'll be "paying" is Samsung if we don't get this thing rooted. He and that "Knox" fellow are straight "trippin'" nowadays.

Anyone see what I did there?

Lol, don't mind me. I'm kind of slow. ?
[Galaxy Note5 Android Development] skusa93:
Can't get the kernel in the OP to boot on my N920T

Flashed "Noble-Kernel_Alpha_N920T.tar.md5" via the "AP" section of Odin and it just sits on the Samsung splash screen. Flashed both of the stock files and they booted fine. Anything I'm doing wrong?
[Galaxy Note5 Android Development] oka1:
Try this to modify the Kernel

@jthrasher47, @charlieb620, @mocsab

Try this.......... this was the change the Devs in the S6 Forum did to resolve : Modify ramdisk's fstab. Last part on /system partition, leave only "wait".

See if that solves the over writing of the root command to the kernel issue
[Galaxy Note5 Android Development] mocsab:
Every ATT PHONE SInce the S4 has a locked bootloader - EVERY PHONE ATT Has from now until forever will have a LOCKED BOOTLOADER. ATT Made this announcment about Locked Bootloaders a long time ago. It is why I don't buy ATT phones. I use TMOBILE Phones on ATT NETWORK. the OEM setting you mentioned is something Samsung added to all of their Note 5's (started with the S6) but it doesnt "unlock the bootloader on att or verizon phones)

[Galaxy Note5 Android Development] Goronok:
But then they went and sold the Nexus 6 in retail stores for a good long while. (with unlocked BL) Their methodology is jacked up. T-mobile (and pray for an easy unlock) or international is the only way to go =/

[Galaxy Note5 Android Development] CB620:
Did you post the new kernel with those edits?
[Galaxy Note5 Android Development] mocsab:
Jst remember, TMOBILE IS NOT LOCKED., not in the classic sense. And any Note 5 - international or otherwise will have the same issue with 5.1.1 and probably all future Android Releases. The issue we have now is related to the kernel at least in so far as getting root. Whereas on ATT and VERiZON the locked boot-loader blocks any attempt to modify the kernel.
[Galaxy Note5 Android Development] CB620:
In other words folks there is still hope....We can root. Things just require more work because of 5.1.1

I'm sure someone is still working.
[Galaxy Note5 Android Development] mocsab:
:)

I know they are different phones completely - but the S6 and Note 5 are very similar - seems to me a conversation with the developers who did the S6 kernel that got root on 5.1.1 is in order. At least it might be fruitful. I wish I had taken a different course in college and knew something about development. When it comes to actual development, rom, kernel, whatever, I am clueless (but then I have been told that same thing more than once about other things - LOL) seems like we are close anyway - fingers crossed
[Galaxy Note5 Android Development] CB620:
We are def. close I have no doubt about that. I saw a couple people saying they contacted the S6 devs that got root.

It's only a matter of time. I'm sure it is a couple lines in the kernel that need to be edited/enabled to make everything stick.
[Galaxy Note5 Android Development] jthrasher47:
[MENTION=2475226]oka1[/MENTION] has has the conversation... It's all in due time.
[Galaxy Note5 Android Development] GAPO:
I know y'all are working on other variants, but if anyone needs someone to test anything for SM-N920P I will do it, just PM me.
[Galaxy Note5 Android Development] CB620:
Once everything is acquired for N920T(T-Mobile) Sprint will follow right after; there is nothing different to test; If it doesn't work for T-Mobile it won't work for Sprint.

International-Sprint-T-Mobile are all one in the same

We just need a functional root kernel that will stick and we ALL will be good to go

Except Verizon and AT&T

[Galaxy Note5 Android Development] ebs512:
Wouldn't the simple way to get root be to run a logcat after opening an app that requires root to find exactly where changes need to be modified?
[Galaxy Note5 Android Development] CB620:
There is more to it than that.
[Galaxy Note5 Android Development] ebs512:
so this is a logcat i did with a failed attempt of rooting with the app "King Root". I know it was previously mentioned there is more to it than this but I hope this logcat can serve some purpose as to what is causing root issues?

I've just been searching through the samsung kernel source on my phone via es file explorer and it's a bit confusing when you don't know what all the code necessarily means or does. I understand a little bit of it but trying to find search terms to find something just as simple as changing something from false to true to enable full user/admin mode I'm not seeing anything. There are files related to knox, mutex, ntsfadmin etc but I'm not sure what to be looking for so ill leave it up to the coders who can read and understand this gibberish

I am not sure I understand. How do I install Super SU if I don't install TWRP?

When I first Flashed the Kernel - I did not have SUper SU installed - I looked in my ap drawer and it was not there.

I also tried to access recovery and all I got was a black screen - I could not access recovery at all - that is why I flashed SUper SU and TWRP after flashing the kernel.

Am I misunderstanding something ?
[Galaxy Note5 Android Development] DLUX24:
So do you reboot then boot back into download mode after the 1st two steps, thanks everyone that was involved with making this happen
[Galaxy Note5 Android Development] Manh_IT:
If flash "Noble_Kernel_Auto-Root_N920T.tar.md5" only then install SuperSU.apk, SuperSU will require binary update right?
