If you look into the root progress forum, a couple of us has had the same thing happen. I am hoping that some devs are looking into this. I know how to do this every time now and have to unbrick my phone every time.

Look into this here.

I have done this more than 10 times trying various root procedures to stick on reboot. I'm sure there are A LOT of other that have had this happen also. It's not new.

Bro, not a troll. My note 4 is now permanently bricked. The os was deleted by the bootloader. I took it to Att and they say that it is permanently bricked. Hard-bricked. Gonna send it to samsung or go to another att store to see wut happenes.

As I stated earlier, I have done this over 10 times trying various root methods to stick. If you weren't so noobish in thinking AT&T was going to help you...maybe you could read around on these awesome forums and figure it out for yourself... but alas, you can lead a horse to water, blah blah blah...

I had the same thing happen to me. King root app popped & asked me to try again so I did. (Stupid me) I tried everything I know how to fix this.. In recovery mode I told phone to wipe data factory reset. Still pops up after reboot stating kernal is not seaddroid enforcing then says secure fail kernel and had large yellow triangle saying system software not authorized by at&t has been found etc. Turn off and take to at&t store.

Anyone know how to fix this or have I ruined the phone?

Dude thank you soo much, I got my phone fixed, and also I got my note 3 fixed using files from the same person
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] cboysfan:
Wow. Don't be lazy. Not cool dude. I did read the whole post and I am trying what was listed. Anyway I wanted to add that my phone has never been rooted. I have tried Kingroot many times with no success. I am running Lollipop 5.1.1 which is locked by AT&T so I am curious if bootloader is locked how this happened or how I will be able to fix this. I will continue to read as I have been doing prior to being called lazy. I have yet to see anyone else state they were running the same OS I am.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] getyroks:
The files mentioned in my previous post are the 5.1.1 OS files. I have used them multiple times to recover from a soft-brick. So, YES, I have the same OS Lollipop as you should have. AT&T has locked the bootloader on the Note 4 from the beginning. But in 4.4.4 you could temp-root in order to get rid of some files. But results are so different from phone to phone that a temp-root scenario is complicated to explain. Some work some dont. KINGROOT is also in the same boat, might or not work. You might be able to keep your phone from rebooting or it might freeze and you HAVE to pull the battery. When the battery gets pulled and reboots SOMETIMES you can reboot to a temp-rooted phone, MOST OF THE TIME it soft bricks. All of this information is in either of the posts I linked earlier, so either you're lazy, or you don't understand what you're reading. If you don't understand, then please READ, SEARCH, and RESEARCH.

I was concerned to load the files because I did not see anyone who was not rooted and running my OS. I installed them and all is well. Thank you again.

The sad part is that it cleans the whole system. So starting from scratch everytime is a drag.

It helped me as well. Just download the package and use ODIN and you are back in buisness. Btw, all your personal data is gone bye bye though, I will be like a having a brand new phone again.

Take care.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] spexwood:
1) Not a troll. Just someone not knowing what they're doing.

2) ATT reps don't even know the difference between a locked sim and locked bootloader, so they wouldn't know the difference between a hard and soft brick.

3) All you had to do was use Odin to fix the phone. You just traded your phone for a factory refurbished one. Good job!

4) Read the latest forum posts before doing things.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] strabo231:
Hey guys. Thought I'd chime in with a little insight here. Had someone call me the other day that tried to root one, and ended up with the same unauthorized software error. Couldn't get to download mode, couldn't get to recovery, couldn't get phone to boot. He took it to AT&T, where they of course told him the phone was "hard bricked". I just used a usb jig and restored it with odin. Did just fine.

This is the jig I used. It was $4.92 on eBay

The Actual Solution to the problem

Hello,

As we all know the world has changed much in the past few years, so to have smartphones, and the ever present desire to LOCK someone into a contract that involves holding their favorite new tablet hostage.

Metro for example has a three month policy. There are a FEW ways to get around this. You are already in the right place now you just need the answer that took some of us Months to come up with.

You Just Cant Have a Custom Binary in place until you have downloaded something like Lollipop.deoxified or SM-XXX-master.zip and you have actually got an image of a whole new tablet. To which, you can install without to much heartache or grief.

My preferred method is via ever constant updates for my good friend ODIN. You can even get versions for the samsung, however I have not had great success with that and seem to have the best luck with the 9th version. This involves hooking your smartphone to your PC. Holding the Volume Down Button, Power Button, and Menu button say after you set a restart to occur once and I start holding them before the initial logo that says Samsung Galaxy Note SM-XXX Powered by Android. If you get to the logo for the carrier of your tablet. Such as Sprint Tablets. They have taken that sucker apart and striped it of almost everything. But they just leave it grayed out. Work to restore these items if your tablet is not bricked but is just a pain and never does anything you want.

Lastly, Recovery Programs. At least for me. Their are several variations, and almost every phone has something unique and designed with ill will in mind. Sometimes they take the recovery and ODIN mode out. And I believe this is achieved from Inside an Android Environment. Either wipe your tablets identity.... Maybe change the MAC address.... Download what can be about a GB of system install data and if it for another carrier their a couple of caviats to watch for.

VERIZON

ATT

SPRINT

HAVE SUPER EVIL CDMA THAT SEEMS A LITTLE JANKIER EVERY YEAR.

THEN WE HAVE:

GSM.

It is possible to obtain the change in carrier if you correctly open up Superuser permissions from within Android by Downloading

kingoroot

busybox

greenify - Add all programs that should work including these and add them.

SuperSU

Superuser, the generic looking one seems to be more easy going.

TWRP Manager (Requires Root)

Device Control (Just hit more information after kingo install it will work)

Android Device Manager

Developer Options to enable USB Debugging...

SU Update Fixer

Their was hopefully a link posted. But you just need to search for your model number which on the Tab 4 is displayed on the initial bootloader splash page.

ODIN will sometimes cause complete loss of all of your data.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] goldenfish:
if you brciked with kingroot (not authorize software, just flash my file with odin then you unbricked)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] Blairware:
This kind of thread (and the fact that AT&T continues to be @$$holes) are what has caused me to lose interest in rooting (since I can't ) ROMs, (since they are useless to me) and customizing my phones beyond just running stock and doing the best I can. This from a guy who had ORD so bad, I would flash a ROM while driving. (But would never text behind the wheel of course) Sigh! Android used to provide hours of entertainment. Now it's an appliance. Maybe I should get a Windows Phone. Can't believe I just said that. Hard times indeed.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] TnT_:
He isn't messing around, I did the same thing with the exact same model. I got the bootloader unlocked, and root access. Only issue is that I had to reflash using odin. There must be a way around the AT&T block.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] Core618:
I see a lot of fuss and argument in this thread... disagreement over what needs done.

Too many cooks, etc, I guess... and too many people who think they are experts because they managed to follow someone else's instructions once, ONCE.

I don't use AT&T ever myself.. 15 years with T-Mo, and not planning to switch...

However, my son-in-law has an AT&T Note 4, and decided to learn about root. Something he's never done before and probably only heard of recently... apparently he didn't do enough research.. and called me because he had bricked it with Kingsroot. The hazards of folks reading for 5 minutes and thinking they know what the hell they are doing...

Same error you all keep mentioning "Unauthorized software" yada yada.. It took me all of 20 minutes, including download time to pop on here, find what I needed and have his phone up and running.

No calls to AT&T, no jig, not BS.

AMEN BROTHER the joy of putting on different ROM's is gone. At least with AT&T phones...even if you buy a phone like the Note 4 Edge already unlocked nobody is building ROM's so what's the good...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] DaNg13:
If you think that you can bring to ATT store to unbrick your phone, you should not messing with your phone at the first place...

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] haml:
I know this may be an open ended question but as on now which carrier provides tho best opportunity when it comes to rooting and rom development. I've been rooting and loading roms for years with other android phones but only on At&t. With the current state of updates from At&t as well i'm possibly going to drop att after contract runs out. Current cell is N910A and miss loading new roms to try. I seen a vid of a guy loading Dr. Keatons rom to his Note 4 N910 g/h i think and it looked awesome. Thanks guys
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] ms.journie:
I have AT&T as well, and I will no longer buy from Att. I have a moto x pure unlocked. What I have read is moto will no longer have phones. So my next phone will be a nexus unlocked. It may seem expensive but it's not.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] sodomanaz:
I'm sticking with AT&T because it works best for me. For my next phone though? It won't be branded AT&T that's for sure. I'll probably get a Note 6, but it'll be after seeing what the US carriers do to lock it up VS International version.

[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Valicious:
Really important question, so bear with me while I give a bit of background info.

I need a new phone fast, but it needs to meet some often-overlooked requirements.

My vocal chords are partially paralyzed and my diaphragm is slightly weakened, so the most mics and phones make my voice sound like the regrettable lovechild of Gollum and Darth Vader. I'm struggling with a barely-clinging-to-life Droid Razer right now, and my voice comes out sounding like modulated static played onba phonograph. I used to used an iPhone 4S, and that worked pretty well until the hardware started failing. I'm flying up to Redmond (I live in New Mexico) for an "Ability Summit" (think career fair) where Microsoft and a few other tech giants are looking to hire people with disabilities. I obviously can't be reliant on a nonfunctioning phone during this time, so this is why my questions to you are so critical.

I'm looking at signing up for Fi and getting either the 5X or 6P, but I'm wondering if a few of the upgrades in the 6P justify the extra cost. (especially since the 5X is $199 right now)

My eyeballs are defective, and I'm legally blind in one eye. How much better is the 5.7" 2560x1440 6P vs 5.2" 1440x1080 5X?

The 6P has 3 microphones (2 front, 1 rear) with noise cancellation vs 3 microphones (1 front, 1 top, 1 bottom) with no noise cancelling on the 5X. I would think the 2 fronts mics would help with picking up my voice, does anyone have any impressions/advice on this?

I need a sturdy phone as I can't always gently set it down. Is the aluminium housing on the 6P really that much sturdier than the polycarbonate on the 5X?

The 6P is obviously the better phone, but I can live without the faster processor and more RAM. The things I can't afford to compromise on are voice quality, screen clarity, and durability. I'm having a hard time justifying the $300 price difference, but I will if it will truly make a difference
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kboya:
I can't make a direct comparison as I only have the 6P, but I have some experience with assistive tech for students. Yup, the screen is really good, bright and clear, and the large size might assist with your vision. The call quality has always been very good and clear at each end. Both phones have the same accessibility features and, again, the larger screen might be useful with enlarged text. If your voice has a weak projection the noise cancelling should make a difference in busier areas, but won't help much in quiet circumstances. The build quality is good, but I am not convinced that the 6P is the sturdiest phone I've ever owned and I find myself doubting it. The 6P is also rather slippery and any motor-control issues may exacerbate the handset's lack of grippiness. It is also rather large. I guess the 5X is as sturdy as any well built polycarbonate phone, and there appear to be a greater selection of bumper style cases that protect the screen, corners and edges than there are for the 6P.

Given the $300 difference in price with Project Fi I'd go for the 5X.

I I started to click through my applications one by one after I was experiencing drain, despite barely having used my phone for the day. I found two rogue apps that I haven't used once taking up battery life. I'll bet this is why Android System is so high on SD phones. One of them is Knox, which doesn't even show up on my app drawer, but can't be uninstalled. The other is Setup Wizard, same deal. Check out the screenshots. There's no reason these should be draining battery. Or even in use.

Any suggestions on how to fix?

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] Zeffir:
The system processes are all linked together and share the same battery drain levels, so it's not necessarily Knox or the Setup Wizard that are the rogue apps. I suggest disabling all carrier apps installed and then disable whichever Samsung or Android apps you don't use. For me the biggest drain was the AT&T Updater, it would consume data even though there were no updates to be downloaded, there's no need for it to be running in the background unless there's an actual update.

Also, when there is a phone update be sure to re-enable all your apps before updating. Just export your configuration to an XML beforehand.

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] kolembo:
Yeah, you can't just disable all bloatware. If you take the time and disable what you know you don't use, is excellent.

For example, just the ANTs, the GEARs and the fonts, battery life rockets!

Also, rather than disabling say Facebook on the system, which forces you to revert to the Factory installed version, with this, if you need to use any blocked item, you just unlock it, no need to re download from the store, no need to update.

It's like a switch. This app is excellent. It's a lifeline, first thing I install on all my Samsungs now.
