[Galaxy Note 4 General] krumbs:
If you decide to download the AU ROM for N910G (which works great for other regions), you can easily root it by flashing the permissive kernel for the N910F.

AU ROM thread - http://xdaforums.com/note-4/general/sm-n910g-lollipop-5-1-1-released-t3215823

N910F kernel thread - http://xdaforums.com/note-4/snapdragon-dev/kernel-5-1-1-selinux-enforcing-t3190799

So in short:

Download the ROM and flash via Odin.

Download the latest TWRP and flash via Odin. It will also install SuperSU.

Flash the kernel via TWRP (ensure you copy it to your external SD in advance).

That's all! You end up with a rooted N910G that is smooth and a far cry from the laggy monster that was 5.0.1!
[Galaxy Note 4 General] c120:
Worked great! Thanks!!
[Galaxy Note 4 General] djlech:
Works perfect on 910G thanks.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] LightspeeDLee:
Is it true that after flashing TWRP, when the phone switches off & on, quickly press 'buttons' for recovery and flash the new 2.49 SuperSU app.zip instead of letting TWRP install it as TWRP installs an old superSU & is outdated... ??
[Galaxy Note 4 General] GrippingSphere:
You can always flash the latest or update SuperSU anytime.

The link for the kernel is broken :(
[Galaxy Note 4 General] senectus:
I presume this still trips knox?
[Galaxy Note 4 General] binYaqoob:
Those who have warranty and don't want to trip knox, I don't think there is any root method available. All root methods trip knox and hence warranty issue, for those who don't have warranty they can forget knox.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] senectus:
Warranty doesn't concern me, I use the phone for work and tripping Knox would stop the phone working on the work network.

But it sounds like this will trip it, so yeah I'm not going to.

Thanks though.

Okay I ran into a weird problem which I can't fix on my own, so I hope you guys can help me there.

I own a Stock non rooted SM-N910F 5.1.1!

Now to the problem, the last Facebook update bugged the app somehow for me. (Forceclose on startup) So I deleted the last updates through the app manager and tried to reinstall the updates through the market. Got a strange 505 error. Now the strange stuff happened. The Facebook app wasn't to be seen anywere else in the app drawer, as if the botched reinstall deleted the system app.

The market says I don't have FB installed and when I try I get the same 505 error.

I downloaded the facebook apk from a mirror and installed it via ADB so I can get a more detailed error message. I got the: INSTALL_FAILED_CONFLICTING_PROVIDER as far as I know this means some leftovers of the system app are still installed which prevents the new install?

So what to do? I really can't root because of work policies.

Is there a way to flash the original firmware with Odin without loosing my data or tripping knox? (Like with the Nexus Toolkit for Nexus devices?)

There is no tweaks for wifi only net tweaks is possible to add into build.prop but this not improve your signal you must replace wifi anntene on your router to much better one or change positions of your router..if you means your signal is low if you connected somewhere than your wifi chip is not enought powerful..

[General Questions and Answers] Ciprum:
Umm, that's not a secret menu. It's the recovery partition and it is a serious tool not made to play around with it.

To remove the pattern lock enter recovery mode (the 'secret menu').

Select "Wipe data partition" and enter

Now select "Yes" and enter.

This will delete EVERYTHING!

To select usually it's:

Volume up - Menu up

Volume down - Menu down

Power button - Enter

But on some phones power up is enter and power down menu down.

You should experiment with different buttons to wipe data.

Keep in mind that even capacitive buttons can be used to enter.

[Fire HD 6 and 7 General] bibikalka:
Update : Oct 24, 2015 It looks like the bricking scare is over, and there is an updated guide on how to upgrade to the latest Lollipop without bricking :

http://xdaforums.com/fire-hd/general/how-to-upgrade-to-lollipop-root-gapps-t3163950

PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT :

There are now several reports of super hard bricks (not even Amazon logo shows up) when people attempted to load 5.2.2 version via TWRP.

My best guess is that it has something to do with the 5.x update from Amazon that people request before downgrading to 4.5.3. If Amazon is providing a newer 5.x. update, it can be blocking the older 5.2.2 from working after the downgrade-upgrade procedure. When it bricked before, it would at least show "Amazon" logo, but now even the logo is gone.

One would have to capture this current 5.x update, and see what's in it. It's probably updating another partition out of those that were previously untouched :

http://xdaforums.com/fire...idden-t3122246

All the downgrade-upgrade guides are on hold for now ... You are still safe to exist in the 4.5.x space (with root).
[Fire HD 6 and 7 General] DoLooper:
I assume I can capture file by reversing rename of DeviceSoftwareOTA.apk but leaving OTA updating blocked. Is that the method?

EDIT: Well, just did rename. No download yet. I've got otaverifier blocked. If nothing soon, I'll enable that and block dcp.
[Fire HD 6 and 7 General] siegesoldier:
This update was strange and left a very small .data file in cache after saying a download was complete, ready to upgrade. Could not locate a bin file. I will/would try capturing a link via adb logcat.

could be a small update that just preps us to move back to the normal releases.

Just educated guesses.
[Fire HD 6 and 7 General] DoLooper:
All that downloaded for me were apk update files, no .data, but device>updates shows:

10.0.42-D-20150925-NA-4 is ready to install

I ran logcat during download and a couple of manual installs (pressing Install button, but I do have updates blocked). I didn't see anything obviously related to update in the logcats, but not sure what to look for. Since I didn't get the .data, will I find anything helpful in logcat? What should I look for? thx

p.s., Or must I unblock updating to capture?
[Fire HD 6 and 7 General] bibikalka:
Yep, this is weird. I wonder if one should flash 4.5.3 bootloaders with TWRP in Lollipop first as per this post http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=62011272&postcount=2 , and let it try to upgrade. This way whatever files it downloads, they will be sitting in /cache. But nothing will be run as it is a non-Amazon recovery.

Another poster indicated that the tablet rebooted about 3 times, and then he got new icons and Amazon launcher :

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=63116048&postcount=141
[Fire HD 6 and 7 General] DoLooper:
I'm more than willing to try to capture this if one of you can tell me how.

I don't quite follow the above. I'm running rooted 5.2.2. So I'd flash bootloaders and TWRP per guide, install OS 4.5.5, boot to OS and try to upgrade? Is this any different from someone already on 4.5.5 trying to upgrade? thx
[Fire HD 6 and 7 General] bibikalka:
Not this complicated. I think you could flash 4.5.3 bootloaders + TWRP under 5.2.2, enable OTA updates, and continue working. When it decides to self-reboot (after the update is copied to /cache), it won't find stock 5.2 recovery. Instead, it'll hang (4.5.3 bootloaders cannot boot 5.2.2). At this point you can manually reboot into TWRP, and see what's in /cache. Then you just reapply 5.2.0 bootloaders + 5.2.0 recovery, and boot back into 5.2.2 (and do disable OTA here !!!) Hopefully it does not write into recovery partition before auto-rebooting, so that TWRP survives intact.
[Fire HD 6 and 7 General] DoLooper:
OK, I'll try this later or tomorrow. Still wonder though, couldn't you--anyone on 4.5.5--leave OTA package blocked but rename OTAsoftware extension back to apk, allowing the update to download but not install?

[MENTION=6680544]bibikalka[/MENTION] OK, ready to do this and (more or less) prepared to get replacement Fire :D. Just one question: Why do you think there will be anything in cache after the update and reboot attempt? i.e., wouldn't deleting it be part of the update process? Thanks! (Edit: NVM--I see your explanation above.)

EDIT [MENTION=6680544]bibikalka[/MENTION], [MENTION=1007992]everyone[/MENTION] :) Thought the update was out for my region, but guess not: With DeviceSoftareOTA.apk named as originally and otaverifier enabled, Device>Updates just returns "no updates." Disabled otaverifier again and will wait on this.

I believe the update will download with DeviceSoftwareOTA.apk properly named--and hope it won't update with otaverifier disabled. So maybe I can get it. Anyway, I'll check for it over next few days, but maybe someone else will try this method first. (I am west-coast US and it seems always last to get updates.)
[Fire HD 6 and 7 General] bibikalka:
I think it will prepare to update by staging the required files in /cache, but then it'll try to reboot to apply those files (usually updates are applied in recovery ...). So when reboot fails (as it should with TWRP & 4.5.3 bootloaders which don't boot Lollipop), you intercept the stuff in /cache and see what it has.

Added: If this works, do wipe /cache before leaving TWRP (when you restore 5.2 bootloaders). This way it won't pick up the scripts and run them ...
[Fire HD 6 and 7 General] DoLooper:
See edit here. Forgot that I'm always last to get an upgrade. Hope someone who might get it sooner will use bibkalka's method so we can get this show back on the road.

[Fire HD 6 and 7 General] DoLooper:
2nd try to get 5.0.1 update

I didn't capture the update, but maybe learned something about OTA. Two things I hope someone can explain.

First, I've had extension of DeviceSoftwareOTA.apk renamed back to (plain) .apk since last attempt to capture update. Today:

1. "Check for updates" returned: 10.0.43.-D-20151007-NA-5 is ready to install

(last week there was one named: 10.0.42-D-20150925-NA-4)

2. I dd'd the 4.5.3 bootloaders and twrp (with otaverifier blocked)

3. Unblocked otaverifier, but the only thing that downloaded to /cache was "amazonmp3_10004310.apk" (update to mp3 player, i guess).

(last week they were apks for map and photo apps)

4. Hit "check for updates" again, but now it said "none" and /cache was empty.

(same thing last week)

Does anyone know about updates named like "10.0.43.-D-20151007-NA-5?" I've only seen them since I "corrected" the deviceSoftwareOTA.apk extension, and only apk files get downloaded. A couple logcats I got, however, have many more update entries than I've seen before, but I don't understand logcats very well. If someone who knows logcats could have a look, I'd appreciate it. Just tell me where to post. I think it would help us to know if these updates do more than update the accompanying apks.

------------------------

EDIT: NVM below! I'm getting # prompt because I recently set "adbd insecure" app to start at boot <doh> .:o

Second, I decided to start over and see if there was a different update waiting. So:

1. Went to twrp and flashed 5.2.0_stock_recovery_uboot.zip (for 5.0 stock recovery and bootloaders, i hope), wiped cache, and booted to OS.

2. Got l o o o n g startup. When OS finally loaded, "adb shell" hung CMD. I had to run TASKKILL /F /IM adb* >nul 2>&1 before adb shell was recognized. And when it was, it consistently returned # prompt: (root@ariel:/ #)

I'm definitely rooted, all google works, version still shows 5.0.0, build date July 20, but even after rebooting both tablet and computer, "adb shell" still always returns # prompt.

Can anyone tell me what's going on here? (Sorry this is tldr; hope a few of you slog through.) Thanks.

EDIT: it's late, maybe I'm nuts, but seems "adb shell" should return $ prompt, then "su" returns #.
[Fire HD 6 and 7 General] bibikalka:
These updates appear to be just individual apps, nothing to do with the system. You can google the version numbers, and it'll find that stuff.

The only hope is to checksum all partitions, and find the one that was updated in the latest version 5, but otherwise does not change in earlier versions. One could right a script for that. Then we could overwrite it.

But I suspect the new update may have written into one of the partitions that have other stuff, so the checksum identification won't help.
[Fire HD 6 and 7 General] DoLooper:
Would that mean 5.0.1 would not be rootable?
[Fire HD 6 and 7 General] putridfoetus:
Hello, I am curious, would it be possible to use "fastboot boot recovery.img" instead of actually flashing it in order to get root in the new 5.2.2 (build date sep 23)? It seems this would solve the hard brick problem with flashing twrp.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] es0tericcha0s:
This is most commonly due to not having the matching firmware for the OS. For many HTC devices, you run into issues with running newer roms on older firmware. If your firmware is up to date and the one recommended by the developer of the rom, then might be a kernel issue. I suspect the firmware though.
