Excellent advice. Let's all give up our powerhouse device with a pen we have grown to love for a Nexus. I couldn't have come up with a better idea myself. You sir, are truly a genius.

Please lets keep the posts pertinent to the thread.
[Galaxy Note5 General] hunsinger89:
I actually know 2 developers that have received several of these devices, and are working on root methods, so to answer your question, no this is not a waste of time

put your money where your mouth is! support the root!
[Galaxy Note5 General] pj1980:
I'm coming from a note 4 so excuse my less than positive feelings for the note 5 chances of root. now, i don't want to stray off topic of the post...

Life without root is not worth living :)

We have breached the 1k USD mark, Thank you all for pledging so much money, Its still gaining steam, and more and more people are looking at this. Lets make it happen!

I remember a few years ago when there was a bounty for a particular samsung model, and the pledges were coming in for months, and finally, somewhere from the darkness a developer was able to beat the odds and provided root and recovery. I would be elated to see the same thing happen here.

[Galaxy Note5 General] EvanTheGamer:
Hey all.

Finally received my Verizon 64GB Galaxy Note 5 earlier today by mail and so far, pretty impressed with it. I've been using the Galaxy Note 3 for the last two years, so pretty happy with going from 3 to 5.

Anyways, really hope this post and $1k+ will generate some interests among the Android developers/hackers out there. Hopefully they'll be able to do what no one has been able to do thus far, well, when it comes to rooting the Verizon Galaxy Note 5.

I mean...it's only been less than two months since the release of the Note 5 so I'm sure in another 2 or so months(probably longer), someone will figure out a way around root tripping Knox's mechanism. Well, here's hoping anyways.

Lastly, I pledge $50. Maybe more if someone actually attempt to do the impossible.
[Galaxy Note5 General] xxpawzxx:
I'll pledge $10 and another $50 if the method works after the marshmallow update.

Our only hope at this point is getting our hands on a disgruntled Verizon/Samsung engineer to unlock our bootloaders and bypass knox. So yeah, never happening.

Sorry devs, you guys are good. But not THAT good. We still appreciate all the help. I don't know what I would have done for the past 6 years without you. Unfortunately our time together has come to a bitter end. May you all rest in peace. :(

[Galaxy Note5 General] di11igaf:
You'd be surprised at just how good some of the devs are on here. I'm not saying it will ever happen, but there has been devices deemed impossible to root successfully rooted in the past, it just takes the right people with the device.

The htc g2 perm root/s-off comes to mind:

Your statement was silly, and had no backing. A Verizon engineer would have nothing on hand that would unlock a device.

And that is supposed to happen with your attitude? Agreed above, stay positive, if there is anyone to get upset with, its Verizon and Samsung. These devs owe you nothing!

Devs, if there is anything I can do to help, i'm here.
[Galaxy Note5 General] toskabab:
Lol. You guys crack me up. When did everybody become such soft, reactive sissies? I have nothing but love for the devs. Like I said, 6 years of cracking bliss. I know they don't owe me anything and I don't owe them anything either. They did it for the lulz, as did I.

A little light hearted banter and sarcasm won't kill you. I feel so bad for the new generation. They get their feelings hurt so fast. You wouldn't have lasted in an AOL chat room for 2 minutes back in the 90's. Telling me about attitude. Sheesh... [emoji13]

Btw, for you nitwits that have a hard time understanding things, my original statement was more of sarcastic challenge rather than a death wish. I would never REALLY tell someone to rest in peace.

$50

I got a Note 2 recently, after my S3 gave out on me (probably about 6-8 months ago). S3 was rooted, and ended up FLYING out of my pocket.. :( :(

Note 2 had a locked bootloader already when I got ahold of it, and did MANY MANY MANY hours of painful research. Now it's time to retire my Note 2, and was going to go for either the Note4 or the Note5..

It's a terrible shame that VZW has to screw us like this...

I wonder how many customers they've lost..

I used to work at ACS (Vzw call center) and wish I still did; I would've tried to transfer up the geeky chain..

We need this root... Badly...
[Galaxy Note5 General] hova1888:
Help us please.
[Galaxy Note5 General] raysacr:
Not to rain on y'all's parade but if they weren't able to achieve this with the Verizon and ATT Note 4, what makes you guys think it'll be any different with the Note 5? I learned my lesson from buying the Att Note 4 last year on release day and wait a whole year with no change. With the Note 5, I just bought an unlocked international version with all the Att bands and I'm perfectly happy now, rooted and custom rom installed immediately out of the box.

I have a spare Verizon Note5, so if there is a dev out there with some ideas to obtain root, I will be more than willing to put those ideas to the test!
[Galaxy Note5 General] jerry247:
I'd put in $10.
[Galaxy Note5 General] JulesJam:
There will always be exploits to be found IF devs have enough time and energy to devote towards finding them. Threads like this used to incentivize devs back when it took much less time and energy to find exploits in Android devices. But now it takes so much time and effort for so little reward (over half of the people who pledge never pay) that many people with the talent to do it, just wouldn't bother trying.

I own this device and really love it, except for the locked bootloader. So I have a Moto X pure edition too.
[Galaxy Note5 General] toskabab:
I know what you mean. Most of the devs (who stuck around) for the note 2 already admitted that they weren't going to waste their time with the note 5. It really is a nice device though. The only reason I'm sticking with Verizon at this point is that my rates are ridiculously lower than what I'd be able to find anywhere else. So if I'm ever in a situation where I absolutely need root, I just use another device.
[Galaxy Note5 General] Blace2121:
I'll give it a shot, I'm not really familiar with this specific form of programming but I want root for my phone, though you'll probably have to load a slightly older kernel
[Galaxy Note5 General] idler1984:
Just FYI.

Temp root achieved on SM-N9200 without flashing (Knox intact). Defeated Knox Active Protection but no way to defeat DM-Verity or kernel verification. So it seems a boot-loader bug is mandatory to achieve permanent root now.

Wish others good luck~~
[Galaxy Note5 General] borisb:
Extremely sad face.
[Galaxy Note5 General] timeToy:
Actually, some of use will be very happy with a temp root that keep KNOX intact... Can you share?
[Galaxy Note5 General] toskabab:
It's not for our phone. But hopefully development is in the works. Thanks to those who are trying.
[Galaxy Note5 General] idler1984:
Still facing some stability issue, may update my PingPong root to provide temp root feature for Exynos 74xx devices

p.s. not for bounty ;) it shall go to the guy whom breaks the secure boot chain.
[Galaxy Note5 General] otakukj:
What exactly does that mean? I am in China now. I have the note 5 Sm-n9200 version, can I finally root and keep Samsung pay or not? I have been dying to root this beast but I don't want to miss out on features.
[Galaxy Note5 General] borisb:
What can you do with temp root?
[Galaxy Note5 General] timeToy:
Some light system mod, like audio routing, host file for ad blocking, csc edits, stuff like that, once the edit is done, root is not needed anymore.
[Galaxy Note5 General] idler1984:
Sounds good. I bet some of them require system parition editing? If so it won't work for now since system partition is dm-mapped and protected. Any modification will be dropped shortly and in case it goes through, dm-verity will kick-in during next boot and boot-loop happens :(

[Galaxy Note5 General] AdamForum:
I have this phone and just discovered the other day that it is not easily rootable. The primary reason I buy Samsung products is because I hate Apple's locked down products. -- and now I find that Samsung is doing the same exact crap that Apple does! The Note 5 may very well be the last Samsung phone I purchase.

Anyways, I'm interested in searching for vulnerabilities to enable a full & persistent root on my device. Is anyone aware of a resource online that outlines the technical details that have been uncovered thus far (hash and digital signature algorithms used for integrity, history of attempts, etc.)?

Thanks,

AF
[Galaxy Note5 General] pbedard:
...not rootable yet
[Galaxy Note5 General] HalcyonStorm:
I'm kinda new to this, but I'd like to offer my help in finding a solution. I have some coding/hacking experience, albeit very little, but I'm willing to do whatever I can to help. If anyone has information or resources where I can educate myself on the required topics to begin looking into this, it would be appreciated. Also, to anyone that is already working on it, if you would like to collaborate feel free to contact me.
[Galaxy Note5 General] Red reign:
I left Verizon for this reason. They throw their weight around and Samsung caves to their requests to lock it down tight. You may notice the note 4 never got rooted. and the note 3 was only technically rooted, via safestrap, a hole they plugged soon after with a dedicated update.

Guys its honestly not android or googles fault, it is our carrier, verizon! The fact that i buy my phones at full retail value shoukd give me an unlocked phone but verizon are a bunch of douche cakes!
[Galaxy Note5 General] xxpawzxx:
Yeah I don't think I'll buy another phone on release day again. It really hasn't been a good experience. Besides the rooting, the battery already sucks and I owe $100 more than it's actually worth. I'm calling this one a loss all around.
[Galaxy Note5 General] CeeDub:
Not happy about the Knox lock/brick on the Note 5.

I've got faith that Verizon and the Note5 can't defeat the crew that cracked the S5--or someone new.... who knows.

Meaning what exactly? You want something for HTC Devices too?!
[Galaxy Note5 General] Agent Soap:
I'm refering to dmverity hash tree, locked bootloaders, and Knox, let alone encryption. These obstacles are bold challenges orchestrated by teams of developers at billion dollar companies written under insurance firms and the such. We're the voice of the user, & we need to be yelling right now.
[Galaxy Note5 General] MrMike2182:
Don't expect them to hear you.
[Galaxy Note5 General] Agent Soap:
If i cant fix it i can break it. Meaning AOSP, Samsung, MicroCyansoft, and Google will suffer monatrily. I can build a 3g device for sms and hotspot, I can fight all of them with cheap devices that capture the data of specific user types & develop negative tech, or the open development between user & bigTech can continue. Google cryptowars. I left xda for a long time because people dont care about security, or their rights, or the fact the user agreement allows the user to be a tool, or doormat.
[Galaxy Note5 General] MrMike2182:
You will not be able to get any other rom on the Verizon Galaxy Note 5.. At least not until we figure out how to root it. Until then, there's no AOSP CyanogenMod.. Nothing!
[Galaxy Note5 General] JulesJam:
This is the best phone I have ever owned from a hardware perspective. The display is fantastic as is the camera. Touchwiz isn't that bad on the Note 5. Fast wireless charging is great. The fingerprint sensor is pretty good too.

It feels good in the hand and is beautiful too. I don't miss the lack of removable battery with the fast wireless charging and the lack of an SD card isn't an issue for me either, as I remove my pictures from my phone anyhow.

Of course I wish I could root it but at least FoxFi works so I can WiFi tether for free.

What phone out there has better hardware? The S7 Edge? I like that phone but I like the stylus too so I will wait for the Note 6.

The Moto X Pure has better software experience but the camera and display can't compete with the Note 5. I don't want an Huawei phone so the Nexus 6P is out for me.

[Galaxy Note5 General] hunsinger89:
Thanks so much to everyone for all of the support in trying to get this device rooted!

There is a lot of discussion on this thread that does NOT need to be here. I would kindly ask that the discussion be kept n920v relevant, and that any contributions be made about the verizon variant SPECIFICALLY. Users not following these rules will be reported, because you are not contributing to the development nor the bounty. The next generation of phones are coming out, and this thread is likely to be dead with no resolution whatsoever, until a retroactive exploit is discovered that lets us break into this device. So with that said, I will kindly ask one last time to keep the discussion relevant to the thread. Only pledges and contributions to the dev are allowed.

I am willing to explore the possibility of ROM development for both the devices. I have already started work on N920P and I need a volunteer who owns Note 5 verizon to help me provide more information about the device. I will not provide any binaries to flash and test since verizon phones are bootloader locked. I just need to extract some information from the Verizon Note 5 and see how similar it is to the Note 5 Sprint. Maybe we can borrow some exploits from sprint version to unlock the verizon version.

It's BS!! They took the console root only kernel that's been out for awhile and just changed the name!! It doesn't give you full root access, only root in adb console! It wasn't even theirs to begin with! And you can't do nothing with it anyway since you can't edit /system which is needed for full root access.
[Galaxy Note5 General] hr2d33:
As feared just more false hope :(
[Galaxy Note5 General] MrMike2182:
It's the same exact thing they posted here on xda and then on their other website and my problem with this is that they didn't make this kernel console root eng but they are taking credit for it !! Taking credit after stealing someone else's work on here is a big no no!!
