I haven't posted in here in quite a long time. Droidvoider and I have made a ton of progress guys!!!

Please check it here: https://xdaforums.com/android/help/injecting-root-setting-selinux-stages-t3573036

PLEASE CAN WE GET SOME OF YOU GUYS I TO THAT THREAD!?

[MENTION=7349237]JeSTeRH4CK3D[/MENTION] can you pm me about where you stand with modding the LP builds using PB2 eng kernel? Can you help me check the bootloaders of the Binary 3 & 4 combination files? I was able to flash the 2APB2 sboot.bin over top of the Combination 3APH1 eng sboot.bin

I have A LOT of information in my head, and a lot of experiment results. My problem is, I don't always know what to do with the results from my tests. I don't always know the specif it's of what I'm looking at.

If the dd command can strip bytes off an image, couldn't it then be used to say, flash a custom recovery.img to the recovery partition. But when using dd to flash the recovery don't allow the new recovery.img to fill the entire partition, which would erase the AT&T signature block at the footer of the partition data. I believe the signature sits in the last 2048 bytes. That's why 7zip says there is extra data after the end of the payload when unpacking stock firmware. Can't we just overwrite the entire stock partition data with our own by not deleting the signature byte embedded into the partition?

With the engineering sboot for LP you even have an ADB Root Shell access when the device is powered off and charging. I've been able to mount /system R2 while offline. ADB just takes a minute to detect the device in that state. Please read Our thread and give some insights. We are sooooooo close now. I even had Super SUPPORT halfway installed. I could use it from shell. I just haven't figured out how to launch an APKS with the right permissions.

I'm gonna go back through this thread and see what I've missed and how I can help here.

The last couple weeks have been epic. Can we port Safestrap to our devices? Not that it would solve everything, but it would allow us some more wiggle room to operate on the device before the ROM fully boots. With the tools [MENTION=7945178]droidvoider[/MENTION] has originated for the Greyhat Root Project, we are like 90% to Root now.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note5] stevenochanche:
root n920a or delete at&t apps it's now possible!?

Hi all,

I Bought a note n920a from us but i'm in italy.

The phone works correctly with My Sim but we would like To delete the at&t services.

I saw a Lot of post but at now i Don't now If is possible.

We need To root the phone or only delete some system apps.

Now i have on thw phone nugat 7 insert with odin.

Please i need your help and i would like To know If is possible now do something!!

THanks in advance
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note5] Delgoth:
Just to add to this conversation. When I used this temp root method on my Note 5, running the PB2 Eng Kernel, the PB2 AP Build File, and the Binary 3 PH1 LP Eng Bootloader, I can actually root the device and have it reboot normally without scripts. It's not a full root solution I don't think, but I can do it without bootloops. I think it may be due to that ENG Sboot.

The Sboot I found is the only way to boot into a LP system if you have upgraded to the binary 3 bootloader.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note5] JED MIKAEL:
Note5 n920a

Il have à note5 N929A marshmellow QB2.

Is There any way to robot it or install a custom rom ?

Tank you for your help
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note5] KennyLG123:
I'm assuming you mean 920a. No root or custom Rom as of yet....

Yes you are right, ils N920A Att.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note5] MonsterArmy12:
Question

I don't know much about any of this but I do know how to root a device the one click way and with Odin and I do know that I want my device rooted. I have the n920 att note 5 and was wondering if i can root without too many issues? And if so how?

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note5] disobey:
Why won't at&t just unlock the boot loader and release the kernel already?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note5] Delgoth:
If you still have a device that is on a build before October/November 2016, meaning you still have a device with a Version 3 Bootloader (i.e. 3BPH4 or below) the device is still fully rootable. Using the ENG sboot.bin and Eng Kernel on a 5.1 based build you can' now root and reboot without a PC. Please read my current state of root thread.

Using the Eng Sboot, Eng Modem, and Eng Kernel, the device can be carrier unlocked and untethered rooted. But these files are based on Lollipop builds.

So if you have a binary 4 device now because you updated. You will want to find the PL1 Combination file (which I have) and then use the Eng Kernel with it.

I have not tested it fully with a Binary 4 Firmware because my device was a Binary 3. But I had Root, and did not need a PC to reboot the phone.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note5] KennyLG123:
I got rid of my 920a.... I kept my 920c......lol
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note5] killaj90:
With it being 2019 almost 2020 is there any confirmed working root for SM-N920A using V2 Bootloader? I am able to find info on V3, V4 and the latest LOCKED V5. I want to be able to have ROOT access and delete all of the att apps and others that are taking up too much storage.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note5] Delgoth:
You should look into using V1 Bootloader methods using the same V2 Firmware.

V3 changed things done on V1 and V2.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note5] rpp2119:
I flashed the eng kernel in step 1 and immediately got stuck in bootloop.

I tried to re-flash everything to stock but Odin tells me "Complete(Write) operation failed."

I have tried to do a complete factory reset and wipe the cache but still no luck.

Any suggestions on what I can do to get this phone working again?

EDIT: I was trying to run BL, AP, CP, and CSC and it was failing. When I ran just AP it worked and I'm now back to stock.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note5] brandonros:
Were you able to successfully root your N920A? I had the same issue with mine already upgraded to current with Pie and can't get Odin to downgrade or work with anything. Thanks
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note5] rpp2119:
Nope. I've tried several methods over the years and have never gotten anything to work (granted, I'm no expert). At this point, I'm tempted to just pay for One Click Root...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note5] boodi:
Did you finally succeed in rooting the AT&T note 5 ? I followed the instruction and nor I am stuck as well on bootloader and don't know whuch way out and what to do
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note5] boodi:
I am stuck on bootloader following this instruction . I'd like to try one last time , where do i go from stuck on samsung logo now ?

Where do I look if my build is before Oct/Nov 2016 ?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note5] Delgoth:
The same place you'd go to enable Developer Options. The Build Number.

I'd need you to explain what build you were on first, and then what you flashed in order to get to the current bootloop state. It's possible you still have a MM system and are using the LP bootloader now., which would stick at the logo. However I have once or twice been able to this right after flashing and maintain the ADBaccess even with a bootloop. Allowed for Root CLI access to the MM system before flashing the kernel back.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note5] boodi:
I succeded going back to stock firmware ;

I do the root procedure step by step , after root-script it reboots , on first start I see recovery is different + I see SuperSu installed after system update and restart too ( which should tell root happened ) ; the phone is a bit lagging but seems to work ;

then it asks to restart (to update) , after restart it gets stuck on AT&T logo .
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note5] boodi:
I was on Android 6 , N920AUCE2APB2 , then flashed to the N920AUCE2APB2_user_binary , and to the eng kernel ( before running root script )
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note5] boodi:
I wo

I would try to do it , it looks to me like I would need some more passage/flash though -other then the "standard" listed on the first post of the thread
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note5] Delgoth:
PM me, and tell me if what build is bootlooping. Most likely you just do not want to accpt an OTAupdate using a temp root & eng kernel. because the eng kernel has root access by default on the adb command line.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note5] boodi:
pm'd

thanks a lot for reaching out and helping
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note5] TechNyne66:
Either bootloader or kernel is changing it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note5] JeSTeRH4CK3D:
Correct however AT&T only contracted the bootloader. I can't extract the files and compare to the international version but if I could I can change code to keep the Selinux =0 I already fixed the kernel Selinux =0 but the boot loader sets =1 to arm enforcement which defaults Selinux =1 not =0

---------- Post added at 05:40 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:39 PM ----------

I suspect bootloader as I have modded the heck out of the kernel

question

what if you accidentally clicked BL instead of AP in Odin, can you fix it after running?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note5] JeSTeRH4CK3D:
It should fail because the md5 hash should red flag the file
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note5] pinkham21:
Help...

Stuck in bootloop. Anybody have any way out of this? I tried running the script again but did not work
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note5] TechNyne66:
Did you remove stuff then reboot and get caught in a bootloop?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note5] JeSTeRH4CK3D:
What firmware is it your using OGG OJ1 or PB2 because this script only works on OGG the PB2 requires a few lines of code to change. We are working on it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note5] pinkham21:
No I followed all instructions from first post, Installed first file, then second. then phone rebooted and was stuck in bootloop. I've since reflashed stock recovery with ODIN which rest everything to stock. I'm not sure what I missed.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note5] Da_G:
For the first time in many months, I had free time to play with my phone, and I see this thread :)

I'll tinker today and see if I can figure out some way to untether this root, which is working just fine for me.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note5] KennyLG123:
Keeping an eye on this thread....lol
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note5] vitya:
This is great news. Thanks for this tutorial.

I was able to root my ATT note 5 with PB2.

Now. The main reason why I wanted to root it was to get tethering to work. I'm using this phone with cricket wireless and when I go to enable hotspot, it tells me "Please wait while verifying" and then I get "Mobile hotspot is unavailable" - "To enale mobile hotspot on this device, go to att.com/mywireless or dial 611".

I tried adding this to build.prop, which worked on my Nexus 6:

net.tethering.noprovisioning=true

but that doesn't seem to help.

Any suggestions?

Thank you.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note5] billa:
Try changing the build.prop permissions value to 444 (read only by owner/group/other) and see if it sticks.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note5] JeSTeRH4CK3D:
Good info should have thought of that or 555 I think I set it chmod 6755 and then set chown root that might be the exact issue. I'll get that a shot.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note5] billa:
555 just allows execution in addition to read, which is not required for a non-executable anyway.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note5] JeSTeRH4CK3D:
But in Linux most system configuration files are 555 for system rewriting.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note5] billa:
The idea here is to make build.prop READ ONLY, to avoid being updated by the system on reboot.

It may or may not work, gotta try it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note5] JeSTeRH4CK3D:
Ya I get that, I understand what you mean but some programs require to write to build.prop

I'll try both ways.....shouldn't hurt to fix either way.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note5] killer 2650:
What happens if you reboot like normal? Do you just lose root or does it boot loop? Do you just attach the phone to the computer in ODIN mode and use the root-boot command?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note5] vitya:
Does anybody know how to go back to stock boot.img after modifying system partition?

I'm getting bootloop if I flash stock boot.img

Thanks.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note5] TechNyne66:
You will be fine with eng Kernel as it is a stock kernel.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note5] vitya:
I'm seeing sluggish performance and worse battery life. So that's why I wanted to go back. Plus having to use a computer to reboot is kind of annoying too :).

Thanks.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note5] TechNyne66:
Reboot is due to being rooted not the kernel. I have same performance as with base kernel as there's no different but less security. How ever I have yet to see and base kernel flash.

you saw it on my computer lol.....

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note5] ramezbw:

You guys are awesome, just having to run the script each time after a reboot is kind of a pain.

is there is away that we can set the value to 0 after boot-loader overwrite it using a script in boot loading sequence ?

Any update on a fix? Sounds good that we can have root now. I hope you can get it fix. Thanks for your hard work.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note5] KennyLG123:
I'm going to throw a foulball here can the scrip be set to run after sel. And have supersu set to grant instead of prompt. I have a lot of devices I maybe thinking differently. Lol
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note5] JeSTeRH4CK3D:
That can cause malicious part to be granted root resulting in malfunctioning hardware and hard bricks. So no. Not a good idea.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note5] KennyLG123:
It was a thought running through my mind for some reason I do have a script I run to tame Google but unless I let su to run it at start up it doesn't work. Lol but I do see your point and good work by the way.. The google script i'm talking about i run on the moto nexus 6 probably why my mind is wondering around..lol
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note5] gg83744:
I am having the exact same problem, my phone used to get 30 hours now it gets maybe 15 and it's slow as hell, it can't even play YouTube videos without messing up the audio. Is there a fix for this? I'd rather not have root than lose a ton of performance and battery life.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note5] JeSTeRH4CK3D:
I lost like 4 hours of battery life and gained performance so I don't know what you did after rooting but you did something or installed something to mess with your phones

---------- Post added at 06:13 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:11 PM ----------

You could go into supersu and set it on that Google app and that would work on boot as well you can set things like always allow and always deny or always ask on any app in your phone that requires root
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note5] KennyLG123:
It doesn't show up under apps the logs show that it was granted. The script works when I open rom toolbox and go in play services it shows the Google Apps that been disabled. I only use it after Google makes their useless update rounds and when the system updater starts up. I wish it would work like you said. Thanks..
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note5] JeSTeRH4CK3D:
Ok so have you tried downloading lucky patcher and patching your Google play?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note5] KennyLG123:
Haven't tried that. I will wake locks are higher on the moto nexus 6 then the Huawei nexus 6 p. So far. I need to break out the note 5 and tinker with it awhile but not much to tinker with the att model. Ordered the moto x pure 2015 to add to my collection. Lol thanks again.

What version, build number, and phone?

I have to ask because this works on so S6 S7 S7 edge anb Note5 as long as the eng. Kern. Is available

I have tested it out on S5 4.4.4 as well

However you need to copy your build.prop and default.prop and modify them to suit.

You used the PB2 eng. Kern. And then used the root-install.cmd and nothing happened?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note5] khamm1997:
Binary not installed

yes and it did install supersu but with no binary therefore no root.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note5] JeSTeRH4CK3D:
The binary should have installed because it's used to install the supersu app with command su -- install. Else the supersu ask would not be there

I'm just going to give it a break and maybe someone will pick up where I left off.......I hope. That's not to say I won't be working on it here and there, just not as much as I did. That eng kernel is from AT&T. No one has it that I know of. It's not that outdated crap one that has been being passed around like a used hooker. It's legit. From a well respected source. I don't normally give my stuff out like that but you guys deserve something seeing as this didn't work.

Hopefully, something will break. Many thanks for your contribution. This is the first time I've ever been without root. It's tough. You never get used to it.
