[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note5] rlmiller:
EDIT: UPDATED WITH NEW KERNEL INFO FROM [MENTION=309990]freeza[/MENTION] FOUND HERE

The Older Manh_it Kernel has random reboot issues and is NO LONGER RECOMMENDED .....

SO USE FREEZAS KERNEL DOWNLOAD HERE THERE ARE NO KNOWN ISSUES WITH IT AND HE UPDATES REGULARLY

ROOTING will trip knox and tripping knox WILL kill Samsung pay FOREVER...even if you flash back the stock tar

I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANYTHING THAT HAPPENS TO YOU PHONE. ... IT IS YOUR DECISION TO TAKE THE PLUNGE.

Anyone that tries this and gets bootloops and cannot recover here is a link to the OGD stock tar file... flash in Odin AP slot from download mode you should recover very easily DOWNLOAD THE SPRINT N920P OGD STOCK TARBALL HERE TO RECOVER AND/OR TO RETURN TO OGD STOCK

WORD OF WARNING>>> Once you take the update to OI6 or use the OI6 TAR (get OI6 HERE ) .. YOU CAN NOT GO BACK TO OGD.....

Download ODIN 3.10.7

Download FREEZA's BEASTMODE KERNEL.TAR HERE

DO NOT Download Noble_Kernel_Auto-Root_N920P_v0.1_Alpha.TAR

Download TWRP-2.8.7.0-N920P.TAR

Download BETA-SuperSU-v2.52.ZIP

PREP THE PHONE FIRST ...

go to settings>>>about device>>> scroll to bottom and build number 8 times

now press back button once and tap developer options...

make sure USB debugging is on AND OEM UNLOCK NEEDS TO BE ON ALSO .....

Place phone in ODIN / Download mode ( press and hold vol down+home+power for a few seconds...then release and press vol up) and plug the phone to the pc....Watch for ID:COM in top left corner to give an ID.......if none is given then check the data cable or try a different one.... NOTE: once you try a flash and "IF" it fails... you will need to disconnect and power off the phone and go back into download mode again or you will get "Setup Connection" hangup error when re-trying to flash

Now Click the "AP" button and in the pop up window, migrate to the KERNEL.TAR and double click it. Wait for it to verify md5 checksum. If bad, re-download the file.(you can download and flash the KERNEL. ZIP in TWRP later)

Now check in the OPTIONS TAB.... make sure ONLY Auto Reboot & F. Reset Time are checked...

uncheck Re-Partition ! ! !

Once these steps are followed, click start and wait till you see PASS in the ID:COM Field

After re-boot, GO BACK INTO DOWNLOAD/ODIN MODE and follow same steps and flash the TWRP.TAR file

(Do not try to boot the phone yet, you will get boot loops.....)

Now install LATEST KERNEL.ZIP & SUPERSU.ZIP in TWRP by going into recovery by powering off the phone then press and hold vol up+home+power until you see the TWRP splash .... (or just install from the market... the market install "may" give update binaries issues... I recommend flashing in TWRP )
