[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] JOSHSKORN:
You don't need SuperSu-Me Pro for this, at all. King Root won't stay on there, anyway. Basically after you unlock, I think you'll do a FDR anyway. Once you do that and everything else necessary before you boot up to the OS, again, you'll have root. But to specifically answer that, installing SuperUserSU in TWRP gives you root. Again, as others have said, make sure you flash the kernel, as well, or you WILL bootloop, then you'll have to take your phone apart and pull the battery. Now that's no fun. Good thing I didn't cut my nails too short, because I did do over a dozen battery pulls in the last few days, just trial and error doing the whole thing and finishing it up.

So the consensus is, to forget what all we've been told along. Get off KK, run like heck and don't look back. I went from Safe Upgrade BOG5, back to KK (because I thought I had to), then went to BPA1 safe upgrade. Will this work with the OTAs to BPA1? Now THAT, I do not know. Maybe a mention in the OP about that. [MENTION=7417499]Robots_Never_Die[/MENTION] were you on 5..1.1 OTA or the Safe Upgrade? If you were on OTAs, then I can then confirm both work for this process.

Suggestions for OP:

Change step 10 to use the multirom kernel from here: http://xdaforums.com/note-4-verizon/development/firmware-safe-upgrade-to-lollipop-t3313224

List the kernel file in the beginning. You would only need SuperSuMe if you don't want to do a factory reset. I was able to keep everything while upgrading from 4.4.4.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] Robots_Never_Die:
Do you get any errors? Can you post a screenshot?

If you are on retail note 4 running 5.1.1 BPA1 then you just need to type yes, and it may not show up as you're typing.

Awesome I'm going to look into doing this to get rid of that.

The kernel is from Emotion and included in Step 10.

Some are saying you don't need it if you flash to a different rom. This guide is for staying on stock rom. Some steps may crash and require you to start over. It can be annoying but it will work well and be worth it.

I am and was on OTA 5.1.1 BPA1. I have included the Emotion Kernel in Step 10. This guide is specifically for (latest OTA from vzw) 5.1.1 BPA1 perm root and twrp. Using other methods haven't been tried by myself so I can't comment on them. Yet. If you follow my instructions you will end up on 5.1.1 stock rom with perm root and twrp. There is nothing to be afraid of.

The kernel is in the Google Drive folder and the torrent. It's also included in Step 10. In the beginning I suggest you read through the whole guide a few times to be familiar with it before you start.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] homephysician:
I did get errors. I ran the push without a space between the fix /. After that I got through. Thanks
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] Robots_Never_Die:
Ah ok that'll do it. Glad you figured it out.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] shayp25:
Do have had to be on safe upgrade, does your security patch version matter, and finally can I put new sd cards in or am I suck with the one mentioned in the tutorial. Also that you sooooooooooo much for all the devs that helped make this a possibility.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] Robots_Never_Die:
I just OTA upgraded until I couldn't get any more. That put me on 5.1.1 with build version BPA1. I factory reset before starting so I'm not sure if the removes security patches otherwise I had everything updated to the latest.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] MrMeek:
I am on 4.4.4, right now im in the process of upgrading to 5.1.1, I think that is probably the issue cause what Ive read, is that other people on 4.4.4 are getting the same ****,but will report back if it worked for me for others on 4.4.4. Might be later cause at work now. Thanks for the suggestion.

Running CM13 on my brand new Note 4. Never thought I would see the day. May end up keeping this phone a very long time considering Samsung is locking everything up tighter than Fort Knox on almost all their new phones.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] Robots_Never_Die:
If you are following my guide and have flashed the kernel already you shouldn't be using super-sume pro at this point. You flash SuperSU right before the kernal, and SuperSU is not the same thing as Super-Sume Pro. They are two different files/programs used at different times.

I can't help you with a broken home button as it's required to enter into Download & Recovery mode.

Sweet! I am going to start looking at custom roms in the next few days.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] Sizzlechest:
Connect the phone to your computer. Ensure USB debugging is enabled, and you can reboot the phone into the modes through adb:

adb reboot

adb reboot recovery

adb reboot download

Will this method unlock note 3 bootloader?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] MrMeek:
Update,I finally got Odin to work,read somewhere else that you uncheck Auto Reboot,did that,worked like a charm, so for those having issues with Odin,try that, Also,once I got TWRP installed, I did the Emotion,rebooted back into recovery, to TWRP ,then did the Super Su install, rebooted, and got root. I am playing with it now,done rebooted again,and still maintained root, seems like it works. Thanks for the guide,id recommend adding the Auto reboot bit in there though.

[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] Xnitro67:
the last 2 then said something like cannot do command and need root tried again to get root now just bootloops

What version BL, ROM, and modem were you on?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] jremy13:
I was on cm 13 nightly mm variant. i dont remember which modem. CPD1 sounds familiar
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] glen5678:
Re-load your stock ROM via Odin, OR if you can still get into TWRP, restore your backup...
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] jremy13:
the stock firmware as well as everything ive tried to load has failed for the most part. the only thing ive successfully loaded was the modem
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] glen5678:
Then you'll need to use Samsung Kies to do an emergency recovery to stock ROM.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] jremy13:
when ive done that klies says its an unrecognized device. i have installed all the drivers. i try to go through emergency recovery and it said something about having a recovery key? went through and deleted the adb keys that might have been mucking it up. for some reason i have only been able to flash the modem by itself and not the full stock firmware. I was just about to give the phone to my daughter before this happenedd:(
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] glen5678:
Use Kies3 latest version (3.2.16044_2)

Put phone in download mode. Connect phone to PC, open Kies3, go to Tools|Firmware Upgrade and Initialization... (Model Name = SM-N910V Serial number is your IMEI, I think.)
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] jremy13:
Klies is the current version and whenever i enter the model name it wont take. tried even entering the sku. im lost. btw i appreciate your patience
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] glen5678:
Kies is VERY picky with model numbers and there's no consistency.

Try SMN910V, N910V, SM-N910V 910V Note 4, etc...
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] jremy13:
great! now its taking it but asking for the s/n which i dont have under the imei?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] glen5678:
Did you try your IMEI #?

If that doesn't work, try entering it in hex format.

http://support-us.samsung.com/stacyber/popup/sta_pop_convertHEXA.jsp
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] jremy13:
tried both. the hex tool just took off the last number. neither worked.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] glen5678:
Then it must want the serial num off your retail box, which I'm guessing you do not have...?

---------- Post added at 03:06 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:48 PM ----------

found this on XDA:

1. Make sure you have Samsung Smart Switch Downloaded

2. Make sure Smart Switch is updated.

3. Click "more" across the top

4. Click "Emergency software recovery and initialization"

5. Click "Device initialization" across the top

6. In the model name box, type in exactly your model number. It is case sensitive. (for me, it was located on the back of my phone on the bottom named "SM-G925T)

7. It will then ask you for your serial number which can be found by holding POWER, HOME, and VOLUME DOWN

Struggling

EDIT: Fixed by sideloading kernel. I saw people saying that it was optional so I didn't try it. Turns out it wasn't actually that optional for me because I didn't use SuperSU Me (also I used Multisystem Kernel).

Wasn't able to get SuperSU Me to work so I skipped that step as others suggested.

I've made it through all of the steps down to install TWRP. I successfully have TWRP installed and I'm working on sideloading SuperSU. The sideloading itself is successful but as soon as I try booting up it gets to the red verizon splash screen and boot loops (SD Card is removed from phone). I can still get into TWRP and Download Mode. I can fix with a wipe and install via ODIN but then I make it through all the steps again and get stuck at SuperSU.

I've been working on this on and off since yesterday at 1:30. Struggling.

Any help much appreciated.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] glen5678:
Which version SuperSU did you install and how exactly did you install it?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] jpfulton248:
I installed BETA-SuperSU-v2.71-20160331103524.zip from the link in the first post of this thread. If you search for that exact filename you can find the download elsewhere too.

How I installed SuperSU:

Connect phone to computer with USB cable. Go into TWRP by turning on the phone while holding power+home+volume-up. Once in there under advanced (I think it's advanced) click the adb sideload button. That will ready the phone to accept an adb sideload command. On your computer make sure the BETA-SuperSU-v2.71-20160331103524.zip file is in the "Minimal ADB and Fastboot" directory (default is "C:\Program Files (x86)\Minimal ADB and Fastboot". On your computer go to command prompt and navigate to the "Minimal ADB and Fastboot" folder. Type "adb sideload BETA-SuperSU-v2.71-20160331103524.zip". Make sure you also "adb sideload" the kernel zip file as well using the same method. For me the phone was stuck in a boot loop after sideloading SuperSU until I sideloaded the kernel. (Use [MENTION=4107508]hbadr[/MENTION]'s MultiSystem Kernel or the kernel that is referenced in the OP of this thread).
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] glen5678:
The only time I use ADB is for the N4-fix to unlock the BL.

If you can get into TWRP, why don't you just install SuperSU from there? (Either internal storage or from your SD card..)

Which ROM are you wanting to use?

(I'm using CM13...AWESOME)

I installed GAPPS nano, and any APKs I normally use. (Everything is on my SD card so I don't have to login to Google/Playstore or anything if I test out another ROM.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] Skardale:
So I did everything but it didn't work. I still have twrp on so I can go into recovery mode thing. Should I just get temp root then flash with Odin or continue with the end steps of adb? And I formatted my sd card on my pc but when I put it on my phone it makes it boot loop.

Edit

New problem can't get adb to recognize twrp sideload.

Update. Was able to do it all. Just didn't install kernel and supersusu with adb did it with twrp
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] jremy13:
Still no luck! I've went to verizon and they couldn't give me the S/N. It was the IMEI in their system. No recovery. No Firmware. I did happen to flash the modem somehow and now it loads all the way to the verizon splash screen and then freezes

is there a way to get enable usb debugging from the pc? it was checked last time it was working. i tried using an unbrick zip on the cp field along with the vzw pit file but nothing has changed. i dont know what to do.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] glen5678:
Are you using the same SD card that you had in the phone when you ran the N4-Fix?

If so, did you backup its contents to your PC and then reformat it in your PC so that it reads the correct size?

(The N4 fix file partitions, formats, and copies your original bootloader image.)

After that, try loading the MultiSystem kernel from TWRP. I had to do that after my first N910V conversion because the VZW stock kernel will get stuck at the VZW logo because it does not realize you now have a DE phone....or some **** like that...Lol

Having trouble finding info if this will work for 4.4.4.

Someone said it's for 5.1.1 only, so how can I safely upgrade to 5.1.1? Completely stock vzw note 4 running kit kat 4.4.4. Thanks

I usually disable Win10 firewall and windows defender.

Are you sure you still have temp root on your note 4?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] Flash-ARMy:
After the factory restore, remove the sim card and do not sign in to Google play. After i did this, kingroot worked even though it said it would not. You do need to sign onto wifi, but do not let verizon update anything (by having the sim card or signing in to Google play or any other account).

Load supersu and install it normal and twrp, on the part where you have temp root for the second time.

Also have the Linux kernel on a separate SD card to install from twrp after the Odin flash. My device said it was.not connected but still flashed after u checking the auto reboot.

Finally I installed super super and the Linux kernal from twrp, as my adb connection would not work.

I would copy all needed files to the phone and an extra SD card so you can twrp install the kernel instead of across the adb. Also have kingoroot and supersu, in addition to the requirements in the original post (I did not use supersume).

Bottom line, I failed many times, but I read the entire thread, I wised up a bit myself even more, ad I fibally got it to work even tough it looked like it was or going to fail then entire process.

Final thing was to install supersu again after the kernel flash. Done, I got the permanentroot. It wasnt the hardest thing I've ever done, but define tell the mat complicated root.

Finally, disable the apk and odex files of smd and sdmviewer to prevent verizon from updating.

Thanks everyone! Enjoying permaroot on my verizon note 4!

2. Install Kingroot 4.8.5 (phone will reboot)

3. Verify root with root checker

4. Run the commands in the OP from the minimal ADB command prompt window

adb push samsung_unlock_n4-fix /data/local/tmp/

adb shell

su

cd /data/local/tmp/

[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] glen5678:
I'll assume you meant su and not SU...?

Have you verified you still have root by running root checker? (KingRoot/KingORoot, etc.. are temp root. If your phone reboots, you no longer have root access.)
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] dlw1146:
Kingroot gets to 52% complete then phone reboots. Several attempts now.

does anyone here know how to root the note 4 running 6.0.1 marshmallow?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] glen5678:
The permissions are changed via chmod AFTER you gain su access.

The fact that su is erroring, leads me to believe you do not have root access on your phone OR your firewall or antivirus is blocking something OR you are not running Minimal ADB with admin rights... ( I always turn my wifi Off, disable all antivirus/firewalls etc... before unlocking Verizon bootloaders)
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] Gareee:
Yes. It's been reposted about 50 times. You go back to 5.1.1, root, install the hybrid 6.01 bootloader, reroit again, and then install your rom. Read the first post of the noodles thread for the full details.
