Your question has been answered already but I can also tell you that AEL works. I'm running 8.0 which is the newest and also the fix for netflix works but it messes up google play videos app. so if you use both you can go back and forth renaming the System/vendor/lib/liboemcrypto.so or renaming it back to the original...
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] allcity187:
The same thing is happening to me, I have version 2.5.2. I though the culprit was xposed, but I don't have xposed install. Might have to go back to oj6.

What kernels have you tried? Still on original kernel?
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] kaos420:
Your guys issue with su disapearing.if your on the systemless root one.(one that came with rom)..try a different kernel.

[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] allcity187:
Original kernel. I have not tried another kernel. When I was on oj6 I didn't have this issue. I been rooting phones since the froyo days, this phone is a pain. I would like to install cm but I don't want to lose the spen features.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] samep:
Can you try another kernel before you give up on OK1?

Did you flash anything after the ROM?
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] ianmb:
AEL has been updated to run OK1. In case anyone wanted to know.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] GROOVYJOSHCLARK:
I didn't flash anything after the ROM, stock kernel that came with the ROM, all I did was install apps from the playstore when SuperSU crapped out.

Tried, wouldn't boot even through safe mode. And to be honest I always have Nandroids so it was quicker to restore than to try and fix it. Iost a few days of texts at most and a few pics so I just moved on.

My post was to help others before the issue causes real data loss.

I'm thinking the reports of problems with losing root and SuperSU binaries is not a coincidence. The "BETA-SuperSU-v2.52" package included in the rom is exactly that... a beta. Systemless root is not in full effect right now anyway so I'm thinking if you unroot by using the preinstalled SuperSU 2.52 app to uninstall the binaries, then flash an earlier SuperSU root package that should work fine. If you do this and the same thing happens then we will need to look into the stock kernel that freeza built for OK1. That's what is included in this stock rom.

With this all said, if i had even the slightest idea that there would be an issue with losing root or anything else i would not have released the roms. I typically let my roms go through a test phase with a few testers before releasing to the public. I didn't feel the need for these stock roms. Please report here or PM me if you also have the same problem with losing root. So far I've seen two reports. If there are more reports I will have to remove the rom links and get to the bottom of it. I'm not 100% convinced that it's a guaranteed problem with root/rom as of right now. There could be something that is triggering it that we're unaware of. Any details leading up to losing root would be helpful.

Hello do you have a separate odin modem update for this rom like the one that came with J06 Update? I just want to flash the modem so I can use it with the Note 5 Rom for the Note 4.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] dtr145r:
is there any way to 'prl write' with this rom??

Ive been able to in previous versions...
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] yo0123yo:
****!!! I did this and all was well yesterday until today. I got a new extended Anker 6440mah battery and when I put it in my Note 4 and restarted my phone, it said something about a new security policy being available and i accidentally clicked it and it said it updated the security policy, I go and check if I'm rooted and it says I am not rooted anymore! DAMNIT! Do I have to re do this whole process now? Any idea if I can turn this security policy bull sh!t off after I re root? https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.policydm&hl=en
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] GROOVYJOSHCLARK:
It's all good, I love your ROMs and never had an issue so that's why I stated what was going on. I figured it was an issue with SuperSU being in beta.

I'll try the procedure and report back.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] yo0123yo:
I just did a factory reset in TWRP and now the phone loads up and is showing rooted with SuperSU installed, hopefully it will stay that way. Last time I did it with just the kernel and did a factory reset, it kept unrooting after a couple of hours, no idea why
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] jhill110:
I had this issue with both odexed and deodexed. Tried a bunch of fixes but the only thing that got me back to sanity was complete wipe, stock tar, OK1 by Tx and no xposed. Weird cause it takes a little time for this problem to show itself. Been running without xposed now overnight and all is well.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] yo0123yo:
Same has happened to me, my sanity was damn near at risk from doing so many factory resets. Before my current issue I was just using the kernal by freeza and I would go to sleep and it would be rooted, then I would wake up and it would be unrooted. Now This method worked the best and lasted longest until I (like an idiot) took the samsung security policy update which I believe caused it to unroot.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] kaos420:
Weird been on deoxed su 2.52 and xposed since rom release.never once have i lost root.with that said i also flashed ael right from the jump off. I tried the whole systemless root.on the stock tar.android pay still gave me issues.so said screw that enforced.only reason i tried was for android pay.only thing i miss.jumped on the deoxed with ael for ok1 and never once lost root or a random reboot to date. [MENTION=1503720]tx_dbs_tx[/MENTION] its not your rom brother. I flased tar wipped from stock recovery like 10 times. Then flashed twrp wipped 10 times then rom.not 1 issue rom wise only iapps not showing msl but i already have that anyways.

Well said on the experimental kernel developmental. I treaded lightly on the subject out of respect for you and freeza. I was looking through the change logs for SuperSU beta and settled on SuperSU beta 2.50 because it includes edits for Samsung-Android 5.1.1 supolicy updates. Took some searching to find Chainfire link for it but I installed on both my phone and a Note 8 that got a recent stagefright and security update from Samsung. Link is below.

Can someone tell me how to fix this problem come from stock rom ok1 unroot work perfect now on this rom no conect help please

Enviado desde mi SM-N910P mediante Tapatalk
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] jhill110:
Funny how there seems to be couple different things manifesting themselves around this loosing root issue.

It started for me when I went from deodex to odex with xposed. Went through the stock tar to Tx OK1 deodexed with no xposed and was good. I then swapped out the Android policy jar from X 3.0 for the 5 way menu and lost screen rotation. Wiped and back to OK1 deodexed. Couple hours ago swapped out policy jar again and everything is good for now.

I took the long way to get to the fact that it takes a while for these issues to show up. Not right away after flashing. Why, is beyond my understanding.

Anyway, I'm back to running smooth on OK1 (2.52 su) deodexed, no xposed but with my beloved 5 way menu not causing any problems so far.

When I wake up in the morning I'll ad xposed again and see...

Thanks for the 2.50 link. I'll throw it into the mix and see what if any demons I can conjure.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] samep:
My phone is in a case that makes the power button hard to find. I've always appreciated the feature and function of the home screen reboot widget but just in case, it's in my Wanam module/system settings: extended 4-way power menu.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] kenjesse:
Just wanted to add my experience with this ROM. I started with stock OJ6 then took the OTA to OK1. Odined TWRP, booted recovery, 3x wiped all but internal and external storage then flashed the deodexed version of the OK1 ROM. From there I restored my apps from the play store did the fix to get TIBU RW access to my sd card then restored data only for my apps. I then installed AEL 7.8 KERNEL, Extreme Music Mod and Xposed. I've been running this setup with out any problems for more than a week now.

Given what I've read in this thread regarding the problems with Supersu beta it seems to me that it's a combination of the stock kernel running with the beta supersu. Just my none technical opinion and I'd recommend using AEL KERNEL to likely avoid this problem.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] jhill110:
The 4 way boot menu option in Wanam's module is why I went ahead (for the first time since Hyrid 2.x series) and flashed odexed. I'm back on deodexed with xposed and [MENTION=1503720]tx_dbs_tx[/MENTION] 's policy jar from X 3.0. Running smooth as before... so far. ?

I just use Wanam's and the youtube adaway modules.

Have you tried supersu 2.50 yet?
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] samep:
I'm running the 2.50 SuperSU but problem is I'm not really testing anything but stability of Beastmode Rage 1.2 (Already proven against most SuperSU beta versions!) because my ROM and kernel was reverted neck when SuperSU beta 2.60 crashed my stock OK1 OTA stock rooted build. I was sitting right in front of my booted PC when it happened. It was late; I just Odin'd back to OJ6 and restored my TWRP backup without much thought and haven't updated the tar for OK1 yet.

I did run the SuperSU 2.61 through 2.63 systemless root with stock OJ6 kernel; the first two were losing root but the more recent ones were more stable. I've heard from one user that SuperSU 2.64 is better than the rest and 2.63 didn't fail either; flashes right over the older ones (Chainfire usually builds that capability in anyway).

I'd like to test the freeza kernel but I've been playing with sound mods and other mods and Xposed modules to flash over stock and rooting the Note 8 with minimal modification with an ad-free and storage focus. I'm mostly happy with the Note 8, just need to move apps and media to extSdCard due to limited internal memory. My daughter uses it with limited user-access but frequently fills the memory with silly videos to the point it stops working and can't even access Gallery! Google really messed up stock ext sdcard storage and access capabilities. Hardly avoidable; had to root it! Phone and tablet both on SuperSU 2.50
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] BigMosley:
Hey, haven't messed with my phones in some time. Currently on the Note 5 ROM and build number OG5. Do I just simply download, wipe and flash the ROM like the OP states? The OP doesn't say anything about version OG5. Thanks in advance.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] kenjesse:
Check the op again, you need to either take the ok1 ota or odin flash the stock ok1 tar before installing this rom.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] tclementi1:
Can anyone post any info on how they installed xposed, every time i install it always bootloops
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] rrrikin:
Yes! please can someone experienced tell us how to properly flash this (Rom and more) so we don't loose the root after a night or something. Thank you so much for your help.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Leoisright:
I came from the note 5 rom and flashed the coj6 rom with zero issues, set up and then flashed this one. Never lost root, not a single glitch. Haven't taken the ota or odin flashed yet
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] rrrikin:
Has anyone tired this with Plasma kernel and having success of not loosing Root?
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] samatagana:
You need to take the OK1 update through Odin, odin TWRP then flash this ROM. Links for all of that are up in the OP I beleieve
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] kenjesse:
[MENTION=3366185]Leoisright[/MENTION] was just quoting the op, best way to go for someone unfamiliar with our phone and roms. But you are right if you're on any 5.1.1 you should have no problems flashing this rom.

---------- Post added at 03:08 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:03 PM ----------

After flashing the rom, completing the setup and restoring my apps:

1-Installed Xposed Installer 3.0_alpha_4.1.

2-Booted to recovery and flashen xposed 78.1 arm version.

3-Rebooted, opened xposed installer and verified xposed was installed.

DONE.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] rrrikin:
My phone has lost root again and it getting little frustrating. So I am going to try this as you said but can you tell me where did you get the AEL 7.8 KERNEL from? Their official thread is been closed on XDA. I can flash that kernel from recovery correct? Thank you for your help
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] kenjesse:
You need to snag the Echoe Creations app from the play store this will give you access to the kernels as well as a few other goodies. Well worth the few bucks it costs.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] resarfekim:
Edit: Never mind. I disabled "Activation Lock" and was able to flash recovery through ODIN. I should have googled first...!

I've installed the OK1 tar and let it go through configuration.

Now, trying to install TWRP. I keep getting the red FAIL! box.

Tried different versions of ODIN, different versions of TWRP. No luck.

In download mode, I see some text:

UDC START

SECURE CHECK FAIL : recovery

Custom Binary (recovery) Blocked By A/L

I guess I messed up somewhere. Maybe during phone setup, I clicked yes on "reactivation lock"...?

Any help please?

Thanks!

Mike
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] jhill110:
Good to hear.

It would be nice if samsung would make you jump through hoops with multiple warnings about reactivation lock.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] styles420:
But then they'd be even less likely to convince people to use it...
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] jhill110:
Yep...
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] beezar:
Or get it free off echoe website (it's the multivariate one. Version 8 now) But I would recommend getting the app to support development

And yes, you just flash it

I'm on COG5. What is the difference between COG5 and COK1?
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] BigMosley:
I was on OG5 Wednesday then I used Odin and the OK1 tar then flashed TWRP via odin then flashed this deodexed ROM. Everything was going great, even flashed the Wifi hotspot mod. Last night I plugged the phone in while I was sleeping and when I went to turn it on this morning nothing but a constant bootloop. Only way I could get my phone back on was to boot into TWRP, wipe all and reflash the ROM again ? now back to square 1 and have to set everything back up again. This happen to anyone else? Why would simply having the phone plugged in cause a bootloop?
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] samep:
Flash the touchwiz lollipop 5.1.1 kernel of your choice to prevent that. Preferably a recent one for max security.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] BigMosley:
Will this occur on every OK1 ROM? Thanks for the info.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] samep:
For a few of us, the kernel has reportedly done that. I thought that kernel would work with a different SuperSU beta version. Myself, I've not retained root with that kernel but just today flashed the stock OK1 kernel, flashed SuperSU 2.64 beta systemless root and flashed this kernel again. I still have systemless root but it's not known if that's stable. It was initially experimental but arguably beta for stock kernel with Chainfire systemless root patch.

Many attempts to retain root with this kernel have failed for some. That's why I recommended a different (permissive) kernel if you want a reliable daily driver. Hopefully we get the kernel and SuperSU root retention issue resolved with either an update or method. The enforcing kernel should be considered experimental until we know what works reliably.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] resarfekim:
Happened to me a little while ago. I am running COK1 Project Unknown V2.0.

Was running great for a couple days, then I noticed I lost root. Rebooted, and bootloopery ensued.

Cleared cache, dalvic, reflashed rom. No luck.

Did a reset, reinstalled all my apps, all good.

Going to download/install a kernel.

Thanks,

Mike
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] BigMosley:
I'm currently also on that ROM and before anything happens I'd like to download the kernel and have it ready. Which kernel are we supposed to use to stop this issue? Have a link my any chance?
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] kbrn:
I've been using AEL kernel V.8 and haven't had a single issue yet.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] yo0123yo:
OK so I have a question because I do not want to get my phone unrooted when I did just the kernel flash before, this method worked flawlessly. If I install AdAway - VER. 3.1, will this unroot my phone? The reason I ask is I am concerned because for the description it states "Requires root: Yes. The hosts files is located in /system which is normally read-only" and I don't know if it is true or not but I read in another thread that doing anything with /system will get rid of root. Any opinions? Thanks guys.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] samep:
If you want Adaway to work with the webserver enabled, I'd suggest you go with a permissive kernel and system root. Basically, you'd just flash another kernel after flashing the ROM.

The losing root issue is mostly the systemless root with some kernels and some apps that interact badly with Enforcing kernel or su.

There are other alternatives but permissive is more stable right now.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] ftc_osiris:
I have had the same problem two times in two days.

I get the ROM setup and it seems to be working fine. Then, I turn the phone off to switch batteries AND . . . . . . . .

It starts booting until the Spark screen and . . . .

Loops over and over and over.

To fix, I have to wipe and reinstall.

What am I doing wrong, I'd prefer not to have to reinstall a third time.

Since I don't see tons of posts about this, I'm fairly sure its likely something I am doing. I just can't figure out what.

Alternatively, is there something I can do to fix OTHER than wipe and reinstall (I tried wiping caches, tried reinstall without wipe, tried reinstall and then restoring data. all result in return to boot loop)
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] kenjesse:
Try AEL Kernel, 7.8 or above.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] BigMosley:
I was on this ROM and it happened to me also a few days ago. I am currently on Project Unknown 2.0 and it happened again on that ROM this morning. People are saying you need to flash an alternate kernel to fix the boot looping which I did and the phone started back up normally, luckily I had the kernel already downloaded and ready to go. I flashed AEL kernel which is in the OP of the Project Unknown ROM thread, I do not know if that kernel will work with this stock ROM, I assume yes but I would create a backup before flashing like always.
