[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ithehappy:
How do I know whether the bootloader is locked or not? I might want to buy an N910V, as its much cheaper than international/Indian version, but I need to make sure whether or not the bootloader is unlocked. Cause I can't even think about not rooting a phone in first one hour of purchase. What could I ask the seller to confirm about the bootloader?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] usmaak:
If it's a Verizon Note 4, then the bootloader is locked. There is no permanent rooting method for this phone. People are still hopeful that there might be one coming, but I'm willing to bet that there'll never be a method to root it. This phone has been out since October of 2014, with no root method found. There is a temporary root method that will allow you to root your phone, but the next time you reboot, it's gone and your phone is re-locked. To me, that's a lot of effort for something that you lose whenever you reboot your phone, but that's just my opinion. Also, this temporary root is just root - it doesn't unlock your bootloader.

If you absolutely must have a rootable phone with unlocked bootloader, then look elsewhere.

The only thing that we do have is debloater, which is a method that allows us to turn off and block almost anything we want. For me, that's enough, because the only reason I'd want root is to uninstall all of the crap that comes with this phone. It doesn't get rid of the junk, it just turns it off and keeps it from running.

If you want root to be able to install an ad blocker or to install custom kernels and/or ROMs, you cannot do it on this phone and likely (in my opinion), never will be able to.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ithehappy:
Okay, I don't understand all these contract things as we don't have them in our country, but Verizon Note 4 and N910V, they are different? If not, how come there is a custom ROM and kernel for the SM-N910V model? The phone does show a red screen where Verizon is written on it. I am not understanding this!
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jcip17:
There is a Verizon Note 4 Developers Edition that comes with an unlocked bootloader and it is rootable. I had to buy it straight from Samsung at full retail price. Totally worth it in my opinion. It is no longer available for sale on the Samsung site though :(
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DikStarrbuck:
I'm happy with a temp root, itll fit my purposes. Can you point me in that direction? and the debloaters direction?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pmjj:
yes sad, so sad that Permanent root was never fount! I am disappointed with Verizon over this......

So what if u have a bootloader that starts with 15? I got 90% on kingoroot running a crap ton of random apps in the backgroundI thought I had it but bam root failed keep in mind I'm on marshmallow to anyone else get 90% are we really close or is it just a trick lol
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] driguy:
So your bootloader is unlocked already, correct? You need to have an unlocked bootloader and be running Lollipop, here's the thread that shows you how/what to do...

https://xdaforums.com/note-4-verizon/general/easy-guide-how-to-root-verizon-galaxy-t3454593

I used the instructions in that thread and didn't have any issues.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] custom_roms_epeptic:
Thanks bud I'll try it tonight! I gone like 6 pages into Google trying to find something that works I got a little confused on the baseband version part. This is a silly question but if I have mine on

N910VVRU2CPF3 and use Odin and flash version: N910VVRU1ANJ5 it won't brick my device? And no my bootloader is not unlocked yet
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] driguy:
You'll want to flash the N910VVRU2BPA1_N910VVZW2BPA1_N910VVRU2BPA1_HOME.tar .md5 file in ODIN as that is the firmware that Lollipop expects/works on. I don't know what android version N910VVRU1ANJ5 firmware is for. Flashing N910VVRU1ANJ5 shouldn't brick your phone but you will need to have it on N910VVRU2BPA1 to install Lollipop and root.

Trust me, just follow the instructions in the post I previously linked. It's all laid out for you in what is pretty much the easiest way you can do it. As long as you do it in the order listed, with the files provided, it will work.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] custom_roms_epeptic:
Nj5 was kitkat but I will flash the version you said I greatly appreciate it
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] custom_roms_epeptic:
Wait hold on my bootloader is locked will it still work? Sorry for the annoying questions I'm a little rusty cause I only get a new phone every 2 years so I barely ever root lol
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kabuk1:
Rooting this phone is pretty tricky and you may have to repeat the process a few times for it to work. Follow the guide custom_roms_epeptic posted, that's the one I used and even though it took me a couple hours to go from stock to Nseven, it did indeed work. I would recommend using the version of kingoroot found in the zip contained in that guide, I tried kingroot and the newest version of kingoroot and both got hung up at 90% or just didn't work at all.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] driguy:
Part of the steps you will be doing will be to unlock the bootloader, this is mandatory. If your CID starts with 15, you can change the CID of your device to that of a dev edition device, which can then have its bootloader unlocked. Like I said before, it's all laid out for you in the other thread.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] custom_roms_epeptic:
Okay so I FLash the downgrade and then unlock the bootloader

,? Yes?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kabuk1:
Correct
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] driguy:
Yes

Edit: Sorry kabuk1, didn't see you had posted already. My apologies.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ITAdmin:
I just finished rooting my Verizon Note 4 about 5 minutes ago after several days of trying. If your CID starts with 15, then you are in the same position I was and I was able to root it. The instructions are very detailed and you must follow them to the T, except I ran into a couple of minor differences when my phone went to TWRP and it was a little confusing.

The other problem was when I was using Kingroot or KingORoot, for some reason there was a message that was not popping up asking if I wanted to allow the rooting process to go forward or something, but I finally spotted it this last time, hit allow and it FINALLY let me get Odin to run completely and I am rooted!! I think the problem was I didn't have the SIMM card in and the stupid window telling me I didn't have the SIMM installed was blocking it or whatever. Just an FYI, I am upgrading from a Note 2 to Note 4.

My note 4 had 6.0.1 and I downgraded to 5.1.1 without a problem, and then started on the rooting. I'm now wondering if I should stay at 5.1.1. or should I go back to MM or use a custom ROM or just keep a stock ROM with a lock that will prevent it from taking OTA updates?

Do the downgrade first and if that goes well, you should be able to root. I will try and help you if you get stuck, but READ the instructions about 10 times or even more if you have never done anything like this before or you're not IT experienced. It's not impossible, just follow the instructions carefully. There's troubleshooting help at the bottom fo the instructions which helped me when I was stuck at the TWRP loop. I just reloaded the systemonlyN910V-5.1.1.tar file and then went forward from that point and it worked. Just be aware of a popup that asks for permission to allow after you get the notification your phone was successfully rooted. If you miss that, it won't work. Also, when using Odin, you can copy the 2nd step and type the first step "adb devices" by hand and then paste the 2nd and then enter the 3rd & 4th steps in by hand. The rest of the steps need to be copied and pasted so make a separate notepad file with just the steps you need for Odin. To paste the text into the command window, you have to right click and then select paste then press enter. Ctrl V won't work. Also, once you enter "su", you will see a $ as a prompt in front of the cursor for every line afterwards, if you don't, then the temp root failed. You MUST see the $ prompt to move forward.

Hope this helps and if you need help, just ask. I know how frustrating it can be, but it will work if you do it right!

Regards

Tom

Okay so I use Odin and flash n910vvru2bpa1 from mm while phones in download mode? How do I back up the entire rom with no root if something goes wrong
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ITAdmin:
Is there anything on the N4 you need to save? If not, you want to be able to go back to 6.0.1 if the downgrade doesn't work? If the downgrade doesn't work, I think you will be still on 6.1.1. If it fails or something goes wrong, you boot into recovery mode and restore it. I did it the very first time without a hitch. Make SURE the phone battery is fully charged and the computer is plugged into power if it's a laptop,

Good luck!

Hello,

Could any one suggest a free bug rom for me ?

Based on stock or on AOSP .
[OnePlus X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joey24z1:
Honestly...I've been through quite a few roms on this device, but so far, Oxygen os ( 2.2.0 ) with the 3.4.0 #88 Blu Spark kernel has been rock solid with the best battery life so far.

I've tried CM and alot of CM based roms and the battery life is horrible. (Plus something is always broken....e.g. Mic on speaker calling )

Just my opinion.....
[OnePlus X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CertifiedBlyndGuy:
It depends really.

Least bugs- Oxygen OS/CM 12.1

Best experience- AICP

Fastest development- CM 13

Battery- AICP/wait for Sailfish

Nerd corner- wait for Sailfish OS

Those are my thoughts

[P3600 ROM Development] banzro:
Hello,

A simple question:

I talked today to my supplier... he told me that HTC and all service centers have a tool to see what was flashed before on a Device, even when we flash back the original software. Is this true or not?

Is there a way for us to read out this list of what was flashed before on a device?

Can we erase or reset this list?

Many Thanks for any hints
[P3600 ROM Development] Rayan:
I haven't heard of anything like that on a pocket pc or smartphone, however I believe that it's possible, since it uses Non Volatile RAM or Flash Memory.

There are ways to know and recover what was stored on flash memory on other formats like USB Flash Memory, Hard Disks (i know HD is not flash but magnetic) and such, but I really doubt they will take the time to to that. It takes a lot of time and effort to recover old information. Unless you changed the External ROM and Radio and forgot to reinstall exactly the original versions, I really doubt they will notice.

Cheers!

Rayan
[P3600 ROM Development] banzro:
It would wonder to me too, but anyhow we never know... It was just may intrests who pushed me to ask this community...

[OnePlus X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] the Doctor:
Rooting has nothing to do with flashing. Put it in bootloader mode and flash a recovery. Then try doing a factory reset. If that doesn't work, re-flash the ROM.
[OnePlus X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rahulcool:
Put it in bootloader mode and flash a recovery ??

It's all in step 5 of the guide you used to root the device on the first place. No need to re-write it here.
[OnePlus X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rahulcool:
actually i didn't understand which recovery to flash? twrp or stock ??
[OnePlus X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] the Doctor:
No offence, but you need to do more research and know how this stuff works before flashing things.

I can't answer your question because I don't know what you are trying to flash. Ask in the thread where you found it. If it's a custom ROM, TWRP Will work. If stock, stock recovery is best.

I'm signing off for a while. Good luck.

Right, because the device is rooted. The first section of the routing guide tells you the problem (modified system position) and there are threads here to solve it.

[OnePlus X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 5star02707:
well that's why you need to unlock bootloader first before attempting to root your phone. and know what you are doing (flashing). With all that said if you can still boot to Recovery then flash this Full ROM (save this on an SD card) that should stop the bootloop and have a working ROM
