Okay I got it to work by removing my sd card and powering it on. Only problem is now i cant put the sd back in my phone because it makes it shut off right away and wont turn back on. What is causing this to happen and how to fix it?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] homephysician:
Format your SD card.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] chaseeast:
Every time I try to format it it says failed

Alright I finally got it formatted. Ya boy just completed his mission. Thanks for the help!

so if I'm coming from the 5/25 build I'm basically doing the same exact thing I did the first time around, just with different files? ie the hybrid bootloader. I was hoping that after having done all that work I could skip a few steps this time around.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] guyver2077:
going to have to dig through this thread some more as i went through a few pages back.

Followed the guide up to step 6.5

King Root runs and reboots every time at 52%. Can't get passed this test. Already did the factory reset and sd format and verified im on BPA1. Any ideas?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] jcleav:
is this tutorial up to date for preparing my phone for a new CM13 build? I don't see any mention of the hybrid firmware. do I just Odin the hybrid firmware and THEN complete all these steps?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] Mibuix0r:
I am having some trouble. I flashed N910VVRU2BPA1_N910VVRU2CPD1_FullFirmware.tar.md5, did everything to run the fix twice, now i do the kingroot again and super-sume pro just sits at "processing, please wait....", doesnt even prompt for SU rights. Not sure what else to try.

EDIT: ended up just skipping the step and i'm golden.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] jazzdglass:
Had same problem. Until I factory reset again and ditched the king root that came with the guide. I used the latest King root from their site and it worked.. I didn't have to use root Checker also. Went straight to input the codes.

[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] jazzdglass:
In as much as this is a noob guide, I still think you left out a number of important steps that could lead to problems for a typical noob. So I'll try to list some tips that weren't in the original guide according to the way each problem appeared.

-to enable USB debugging, you need to go in settings-about and random tao on build number until it tells you you have enabled developer options where you will be able to enable USB debugging.

-always open adb with admin rights

- there's actually a space between "fix" and "/" When typing this code= samsung_unlock_n4-fix /data

local/tmp/

-you don't have to use the king root that came with the guide, I used the latest version as at today. The o e that came with the guide kept rebooting and eventually didn't get root.

-you don't need root Checker to tell you you have root. After Kington is done, proceed to adb to input codes

-you need to uncheck "auto reboot" in odin before you click start
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] guyver2077:
Thanks. I'm pretty sure i'm using the latest kingroot but i'll have to double check. Do you have the link?

Is it normal that when i start kingroot, it says no exploit available or whatever but I continue on and then it goes through the % up to around 51%. Then it always reboots. I am using retail Verizon note 4 model if it makes a difference but guide doesnt specify.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] jazzdglass:
Are you sure of the exact words? I think it's "root unavailable"

That's only telling you that you have no root access. You need to remove any lock screen type you have set. So when it reboots, kingroot auto opens and resumes rooting process.

I have no links. I downloaded from kingroot website
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] jazzdglass:
hello? i have some problems too.

is it normal for recovery to revert to stock recovery after i reboot phone? i only get twrp after installing through odin, after reboot, its gone.

Also, when doing step 10, adb doesnt detect device again! i cant perform the sideload.

help plz
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] homephysician:
Before it reboots, you have to boot to recovery.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] jazzdglass:
the thing is when i use odin to instal twrp, after unchecking auto reboot and clicking start, it shows progress bar in download mode on phone and also top left corner of odin. but odin log stops at and the phone does nothing even when the progress bar is filled. or do i keep waiting? waited over 5mins and its still stuck there. done that more than 5 times. some instances i pulled out battery and cable and power on into recovery. this is only when i get twrp. the moment i reboot to phone and power down again to go into recovery, it doesnt take me into twrp again.its same old stoc recovery.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] homephysician:
You have to install the su also. The twrp will then be default recovery.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] glen5678:
Does Odin show "Reset" or "Pass?"

If not, you may have a bad USB cable, may need to use an older version of Odin, may need to disable your FireWall and anti-virus, and may need to run Odin as administrator in Windows.

Have you tried any of these yet?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] guyver2077:
Well i've made some progress. I've made it as far as kingroot reaching 100 % (takes a bunch of tries) and then confirming with rootchecker and sending the adb commands.

After that point however, im not sure how to proceed. it says reboot and repeat but is that really necessary? It always hoses up my sd card and i have to reformat in pc.

i dont have supersume so is there a workaround for that?

gotta say.. this is a frustrating process. seems to rely on luck.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] glen5678:
It will always "hose" your SD card because it's writing your original BL image to it.

You do not need SuperSUme; use BETA-SuperSU-v2.71-20160331103524.

As far as doing it twice? The only time I needed to do it twice was when I did not boot into TWRP after the first reboot.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] jazzdglass:
Well, I followed other guides and was able to get twrp permanent after flashing su
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] glen5678:
I'm not sure why everyone is using adb sideload to flash stuff.

The only time I've used adb was for the N4 fix load.

After running N4 fix, you boot into DOWNLOAD mode and flash TWRP via Odin.

Pull battery and SD Card. Copy contents of SD Card (your original bootloader) to a PC for backup.

Reinstall battery w/o SD Card and boot into TWRP recovery and BACK UP YOUR STOCK ROM!

(Make sure there are check-marks on all partitions.)

Perform a Cache, Dalvic/ART cache, and Data wipe.

Now Flash your custom kernel, SuperSU, etc...

Now reboot normally...

I've done more than 10 of these and they all work well. :)

So i had the issue with KingRoot getting stuck at 52%. Reflashed stock and started over with Kingoroot instead. At 90% it hung up, and the google pop up came up I declined and was able to obtain root. Hope this helps!!
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] guyver2077:
well finally completed this... took some time but i do agree the instructions prob needed to be cleaned up a bit. I spent alot of time doing doing so unnecessary steps. truth be told once i got kingroot 100% and sent the adb commands and it rebooted (when the sd card gets messed up) , at that point i was ready to proceed to go into odin. from that point on it was easy.

This link kind of made it easier for me. same idea just some steps easier to read and understand.

I was hoping to get some guidance for king root only completing 50-70 percent of the root and then rebooting or stating that root is not available? has anyone seen any info related to this type of issue in the process?

I had a really difficult time obtaining root. After starting from a clean re-flash i followed Doctor-cool's method Stabilized process used to unlock Bootloader in the general section. The only thing I did different was used KingoRoot instead of KingRoot. Worked perfect.

Rooting

I had a verizon Note 4 and follow all the steps on rooting and unlock bootloaders, I use Kingoroot PC it works flawless

you may have to root twice but it works after rooting dont close app. Do the steps scripts. to verify rooting chk in download mode it has to Developer the bottoms line to be rooted, after that you flash TWRP 3.. TAr5. using Odin Then go to Recovery Mode were you can Flash roms zip files...

[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] guyver2077:
I do have another question now that I was able to complete this process and obtain root.

1) How to install Xposed Framework successfully? I followed a guide on here which involved installing an apk and flashing a kernel but my device failed to boot up after that.

I am running the stock bpa1 5.1.1. that I used to obtain root.

Help!! Tried to finally get my phone from the 5/25 CM build to something up to date...now I can't get my phone to boot.

I installed N910VVRU2BPA1_N910VVRU2CPD1_FullFirmware.tar.md5 via odin, to begin. Then, I successfully completed step 6.5, typed in "yes" and now the phone won't reboot...if the SD card is in, it doesn't get past the first black boot screen with white writing saying "samsung galaxy note 4, powered by android"....if i take out the sd card, it gets to the red verizon screen and still boot loops. I've tried doing a factory reset and wiping cache, still nothing.

I'm lost, please help!
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] glen5678:
Are you able to get into TWRP recovery?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] jcleav:
i think i could at that point, but i have since re-flashed the stock firmware and tried to follow the directions in this thread: http://xdaforums.com/note-4-verizon/general/guide-step-step-stock-n910v-6-0-1-to-t3426905

and i'm having the same problems there after running the adb commands...it just bootloops when it says it should boot back up so i can re-run the adb commands. it says i've unlocked developer mode, and I can get into TWRP, but i can't boot the phone back up at that point.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] glen5678:
(IF you plan on using stock ROM, then you need to load a custom kernel. Otherwise you can just load any custom ROM IE: CM13, Jasmine, Note4Edge, PaulPizz, etc...)

If you mean it's stuck at the Verizon logo and bootloops, it's because you MUST flash a custom kernel.

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=65313597&postcount=29

In TWRP flash MultiKernel and then wipe dalvic and cache only, then reboot.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] jcleav:
I want to run the new build of cm13...so at that point I can just flash cm and gapps? for some reason when I'm doing a data wipe it's wiping evvvverything, including the zips I preloaded onto the phone. Every tutorial I find has different instructions, very confusing. I was able to install the 5/25 build with less trouble. Can I just install the hybrid firmware and just repeat the steps I did for that in the noobs guide to permanent root? I don't know why the newer tutorials want me to do the adb commands like 3 or 4 times. I miss the old days of the original droid where rooting was a 2 step process haha
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] glen5678:
I've done over 10 of these Verizon Note 4s and only ever use ADB sideload for the unlocking of the bootloader. (N4-fix file) Some people like to do more work than they need to and they simply confuse everyone.

After you run the N4-fix, you boot into download mode; load TWRP via Odin, boot into TWRP recovery, RUN A BACKUP OF ALL PARTITIONS, load any custom ROM, or load custom kernel if you plan on staying on stock ROM.

I run CM13, Jasmine, PaulPizz, Note4UXedge, NoTEdge, Stock MM, and I can alternate between any of them.

I use TMO though...
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] jcleav:
OK so I guess my question involves the hybrid firmware. Is that a starting point or somewhere down the line. I've been running the 5/25 build of cm13 without issue, just wanted to upgrade. I'm currently on 5.1.1 stock, so I should flash the hybrid, root, unlock bootloader, and then flash twrp, then 7/24 cm and gapps? That's it? Thanks so much for your time and patience.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] glen5678:
YES. Just remember after you flash GAPPS nano, do another dalvic and cache wipe.

As long as you're on the new MM bootloader and modem, you should be good.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] jcleav:
Gonna try that. Thank you so much.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] jcleav:
so, i flashed the hybrid firmware, rooted via kingoroot, ran the abd commands, flashed twrp via odin, then booted into twrp and tried to install the cm13 zip and the gapps zip...getting this error in twrp:

I like the KISS approach...Lol

The error you are getting looks like you may be trying to install an incompatible CM13 package.

Were you able to boot into the stock ROM at all?

I'm all good now. it was just a matter of pulling the SD card, I guess. once I pulled it, cm and gapps installed perfectly.

[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] jcleav:
windows version of kingoroot worked for me everytime if I tried it immediately after a factory reset. when it takes you to the setup wizard after the wipe, just click skip on everything, don't log in to any accounts. worked so much more efficiently for me after that. then just go straight into the adb commands.

Boot loop problems.

All goes OK until the very end. The phone is N910V.

Pressing Home, Volume Down and Power buttons put the phone in download mode.

The screen list Mode: developer.

The following is the last instruction.

Type the following command: adb sideload Emotion-TW-5.1.1-nightly-r21-RC1-SM-N910P.zip

Reboot the phone.

After this completes, the phone reboots into a boot loop/

if you're going to load cm13, you don't have to do that step. from the beginning, just use Odin to flash the hybrid firmware, load the zips for CM and Gapps on your phone, root using kingoroot pc app, perform the adb commands to unlock the bootloader, flash twrp via Odin, then remove SD card, boot to twrp, and then flash the zips for cm and gapps....that's it.

How are these problems solved?

dlw
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] glen5678:
Downgrade to BPA1 (Lollipop 5.1.1) from MM 6.0.1 (Unlock BL TWICE)

1. You need to flash stock 5.1.1 (BPA1) via Odin.

2. Follow instructions to unlock BL.

3. Boot in download mode and flash TWRP recovery.

4. Boot into TWRP recovery and load custom kernel so you don't wind up in a bootloop.

5. Boot up 5.1.1 all the way into the ROM without setting up ANY accounts or even WiFi. (Skip all security settings too)

6. Load a custom Lollipop ROM via TWRP if you'd like.

(Optional:

SAFE Upgrade to MM 6.0.1 bootloader/firmware/modem to load custom MM ROMS)

(You MUST re-unlock the bootloader if you upgrade to MM BL, modem, etc...)
