I'm not trying to make any waves. Just sharing what worked for me after trying this method and failing
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] greatdaneduke:
I do not see the download for Kingroot in your Google Drive folder, am I missing something?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] homephysician:
Just Google KingRoot 4.85
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] AngelsPunishment:
Followed all the steps but super sume pro just says processing, please wait
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] tolymatev:
I didn't use that app. Just use kingroot and copy and paste all the commands to get it over with quick because kingroot will crash and your device will reboot.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] AngelsPunishment:
Thank you for the reply. I'm referring to step 8. Are we talking about the same thing? I already got past step 6.5 fine without it crashing.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] tolymatev:
I'm guessing the step 8 is to remove kingroot from the device. I didn't do that step. Is your device a developer device already? To check go into download mode. If it is then go to the next step to flash TWRP with Odin. Make sure to turn off Auto Reboot in Odin before you flash twrp. Then REBOOT TO RECOVERY after flashing by pressing volume up, home, power buttons.

That's when i did factory reset to get rid of kingroot with my custom recovery.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] JTProuhet:
I also skipped step 8. Odined the file over then once i got TWRP on my device, i flashed over super su and the kernel

Several Issues during root.

1. After 1st Kingroot being verified successful after Root Check, ADB went just fine, phone would boot loop with SD Card installed.

2. So, I removed it and had to format SD card to get phone to boot in order to run Kingroot again, ADB went fine, and verified root with Root Checker. Pulled battery again, cable and sd card.

3. Formatted SD Card and reinstalled

4. Went on to step 8 and in the 2nd phase of Super-SUme it hangs at Processing please wait...

Need some help and direction.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] bportjoey:
Please help, I keep boot looping after step 6.5. I formatted the SD card with windows by right clicking and selecting format. Any ideas what I'm doing wrong here. Pulling SD does let me boot
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] urgodfather:
Guys,

RE-READ the instructions! This has be covered multiple times. Right click and format does not work. If you are bootlooping, change your kernel!

If you don't get it, then don't do it! (Said the wise man)
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] greatdaneduke:
That's not the issue, after Kingroot ADB goes well. When it wants to reboot it bootloops and will not reboot until you pull the sd card.I've read the opp, and can see where others have had this issue, but I'm stalled.

[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] bportjoey:
So I got it to work by skipping most of the steps in this guide, probably WOULD NOT suggest others to do the same! After initial temp root (step 6.5) I kept getting a boot loop. While still boot looping from first temp root I connected to odin and ran the emotion zip and it worked. Flashed super su file in twrp and I was rooted. Also flashed CM13 successfully
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] RafaelGalvez2:
Good Morning EVERYBODY.. SORRY, and Again IM SORRY TO ASK THIS QUESTION but can this rooting be done to the Galaxy NOTE 4 with SKU-SMN910VZKE

PLEASE HELP!!!!!! I know in the past people said that it can not be done..

---------- Post added at 12:09 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:07 PM ----------

I notice that you say ur SM-N910V rooted.. Do you have the SMN910VZKE
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] dominick_7:
Whats the proper way to flash the modem so I can get 4k LTE working again? To flash the bootloader the modem PA1 or the other way around? Will it format my current set up or SD card? I backed everything up in Titanium, at least I think I did. Also is there a way to unroot and reflash the official 5.1.1 ROM from the Verizon manager especially if I keep getting the Knox failure message when I reboot? From what I recall there wasnt a step to backup the original ROM. Thanks.

I had 5.0.1 so I did OTA 5.1.1 first. And after that I did everything including sideloadkernel.

But the battery seems to drain fast and it shows cell standby as the top reason. Any idea?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] DigitalTitan:
There were two 5.1.1 OTA updates. Are you on N910VVRU2BOK3 or N910VVRU2BPA1? If I remember correctly, there was a lollipop cell standby issue while connected to wifi. The update to N910VVRU2BPA1 solved many of these issues.

You could backup your apps now you have root, and move to a custom ROM that is on the latest 5.1.1. This should correct your problem(s). I like the PaulPizz ROM. But there are others. Trying out custom kernels wouldn't hurt either. I only suggest a nandroid backup. [emoji6]
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] zachman1100:
Doesn't work for me

After going through the steps to the letter when I have to use Kingroot a second time it never works. Kingroot just reboots either at 20% through 51% and fails 100%.

SM-N910V (Converted Developer Ed.) ANY Carrier Now?

I know I'm probably posting this in the wrong thread, but I could not find anywhere to post this.

Since unlocking the BL on my Note 4 and loading CM13, I am able to use TMobile, ATT, and Verizon sim cards at full 4G LTE. :D

So question:

Does loading CM13, or any other custom ROM, give the phone the true ability to use them with ANY US carrier? IE:Sprint,TMO,VZW,ATT,Boost,Cricket,Virgin,Metro PCS, etc...

Thanks
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] EdrickMG:
Brasil

Depends on the band of the carrier not the phone itself, I'm in Brazil and with some carrier I get 4 LTE and some others don't in specs of GSM, or phone Arena over Google you can find the bands of model n910v investigate with that carrier if bands are compatible
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] thepianoman77:
kingroot is not workin for me at all
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] glen5678:
But if the Note 4 supports all of these bands already, then technically the phones would be truly "Global."
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] xedis:
I'm suffering the same fate it seems. I tried about 30 reboots maybe more.....One time it got to 56%. I have factory reset my phone going on 5 times now just to be sure that I didn't screw up along the way...

If getting someone the logcat file would help just tell me the filter to use and I'll send it over.

Tried with the King Root included with the torrent as well as newest version from their Web page.

My home system is only running Mint currently so I installed android-tools-adb from the repositories instead of using the included .exe''s. Going to try on a Windows system today.

Kingroot failing and rebooting

So I was able to successfully root my own Note 4 about a week or so ago with little to no issues, but now when I'm attempting to perform the same steps on my Dad's Note 4 I'm suffering the same fate as those people above me. Kingroot fails at about 54%, it halts and reboots, then the app reopens itself after reboot saying it failed. I've tried everything I can think of: Multiple factory resets, restarting, battery pulls, uninstalls & reinstalls..... Am I missing something? Anyone else find a workaround? Or is this just an issue of Kingroot as of late?

For some additional info:

Android version 5.1.1

Build BPA1

-------------------------------------------------------

POSSIBLE WORKAROUND:

I read about this in another thread so I thought I'd update y'all in this thread. Some people have reported success when they kill all the KNOX processes by force stopping them via application manager, and THEN running Kingroot. Other folks reported success as well when they tried the pc version of KR. I myself can't verify this method yet, but I will give it a go tomorrow afternoon and report back. Hopefully this helps someone in the same boat as me. If you do get this working, I would suggest using the JasmineROM. I'm able to get my battery to last over 20+ hours with that ROM, plus you retain all the S Pen features unlike if you flash Cyanogenmod 13.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] mainebluedevil:
I've been using Kingoroot after Kingroot would not work for me as well (stuck at 52 or so percent then KNOX tripping a reboot). However, the bootloop issue after step 6.5 (the first time around) has me stuck a bit. I've tried this with two separate MicroSD cards (one I bought today) and both would start a bootloop after the first time of doing step 6.5. The only remedy was to pull out the MicroSD card.

I've been able to work fast enough to do Step 6.5 easily enough, but the bootloop has me stuck.

EDIT: I have tried Quick Format on my PC and restarting the process a couple of times. Perhaps I've missed a step? From what I've read, I'm not supposed to worry, at this point, that the size of the card is < 100 mb. Is that correct or am I not reformatting properly.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] :
Try kingoroot's desktop root. I had the same problem, tried everything. Dozens of reboots getting stuck at 55%. Kingoroot (not kingroot) desktop root worked first try.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] hero2ky4:
finally rooting

This is my first time of posting so please forgive me if I don't post it well. Now about kingroot failing at 54% or there about, I had same experience, so I had to download KINGOROOT for pc ,I tried it about 2 times but it was successful on the third attempt. From this point follow this Dr cool''s process ,here is the link http://xdaforums.com/note-4-verizon/general/stabilized-process-to-unlock-bootloader-t3375527. But after step 3 in adb command ,there will be no need to use kingroot again since the KINGOROOT FOR PC have already root your phone assuming you were successful. So you skip that part and continue the rest of the process to the end. LIKE I SAID I'M NEW TO POSTING HERE,JUST TO HELP THOSE THAT HAD SIMILAR ISSUES WITH KINGROOT LIKE ME.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] fz798:
Two issues - for the bootloop flash the emotion kernel.

For the SD card, I've noticed the unlocker script seems to booger up the partitions on the card, look at it in Computer Management and you will see a ton of small partitions. I used Acronis Disk Director to clean the SD card (removing all partitions) and then formatted as exFAT in Windows.

---------- Post added at 08:38 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:35 AM ----------

Right, the Kingoroot seems to survive the reboot. Note (pun intended) for anyone with a shred of concern for malware, do not use the PC version of Kingoroot, use the apk and run from your phone. Once rooted, then flash the supersu binary
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] xedis:
I was able to get temp root with Kingoroot as well thank you! though Im waiting until my new microsd card usb adapter comes to redo as I lost root before I could get everything completed. My current one stopped working all together so time for a replacement. Especially since my 128gb microsd card is now the cause for bootloop until* reformatted...
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] fz798:
This can be fixed by using a partitioning tool to clean the disk. Acronis Disk Director works great but lots of free tools can do the same
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] xedis:
Thanks, I was able to reformat it using a bootable USB that had Windows 7 on it, just went to Repair Computer> Use tools to fix Windows > Command Prompt >

x:\diskpart
>list disk
>select disk (the 119GB disk with 90GB free)
>list part (returned like 20 partitions so I knew it was right)
>clean
>create part ext

Also I am now officially rooted and running a custom rom, at the moment PaulPizz.VRU2BPA1.2016.0521. Which is essentially stock with root. Might try the CM Build I saw earlier. My steps after much trial and error due to flashing the first time using Linux. (I don't want to talk about the actual length of time)

Kingoroot (ran it probably a total of 10 times)

$ adb shell (to give the samsung fix rights using su and executing it twice.)

TWRP Manager( from Play Store) -Was quick once it finally was a stable enough root.

TWRP Recovery to flash correct recovery. (Obviously u don't need to do this if you are smarter than me)

Flashed PaulPizz. (1st Boot time was more like 10-15 minutes so be patient!)

Used a Dialer Code app to update the TSP FW using code 2663.(to fix the issue listed below)

All done.

The issue was I accidentally flashed using TWRP for the Note 4 Edge. (Whoopsie)The result was my touch screen registering about 2 inches below where I was actually tapping. Thankfully the S Pen saved the day as it still registered correctly. Installed a vndnguyen app that pulled up the Dialer codes for me.

I'll come back on my laptop later today to update all the appropriate links I used to find the solutions.

Thanks to everyone for providing their experiences and hiccups I was able to stumble my way through this!

:good::good::silly:

also for some reason i could not get sudo heimdall or sudo heimdall-frontend to work beyond connecting it would time out so don't think its a good replacement for Odin for the non-windows folks....that or I did something wrong...
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] Danwoo118:
First of all, I am not very well-informed about everything, so bear with me :D

I tried the method, worked fine until the Kingroot. It seems like everyone has similar, if not same, problems with it. For me it also stops around 52-54 percent, and just reboots. I tried factory resetting my phone several times, formatted by sd card several times in exFAT, and still failed.

Are there any way discovered to resolve this issue? :confused:

+ How do you check the Bootloader version? What is the required version for the root to work?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] noted2:
I'm having issues with Kingroot successfully gaining temp root. Kingroot is freezing at 54% then reboots the phone. I've tried other solutions with the SD card but nothing seems to be successful. Even tried using the PC version of Kingroot. No avail.

UPDATE: I was able to finally find a solution. After searching around for a bit I found this thread http://xdaforums.com/note-4-verizon/general/stabilized-process-to-unlock-bootloader-t3375527.

I used the method in the link to the point where I could boot into TWRP. After booting into TWRP and doing what I had to do for root (if I remember correctly, I had to install Super User from inside TWRP). Then came back to this thread to do the sideload. Also, I had to use Kingoroot instead of Kingroot. I am rooted... hopefully this helps others with the same problem.

Thank you to everyone who's been working on every avenue of root for this phone... especially to those who have worked on this and made root possible.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] daveneo6:
I had to post here to say thanks for the dedication of everyone in this thread, even those people with problems, you really helped me out.

I had been trying to get this working for a couple days and finally got it working tonight 6/1. I was running king root and kingo root from the note 4 and from my PC hundreds of times over and over and couldn't get temp root at all. I restored to factory defaults, didn't allow any updating and jumped right into using kingo root installed on my phone and the first time I tried it rooted successfully and the SU command in the adb shell finally worked.

After the first reboot I wasn't able to follow the directions any further to repeat the procedure, my phone was boot-looping as well. I removed the Micro SD card and used Odin to flash TWRP.

It took me a while to figure out I wasn't holding the buttons down fast enough to get into TWRP and was booting into stock recovery. Once in TWRP my phone refused to be recognized by the ADB Sideloader, I tried changing drivers to several different versions and nothing. Then I found the post about putting the SuperSU and Emotion zip files on the Micro SD card. I downloaded and installed the Micro SD card formatter program, formatted the card, dropped both zip files on it, booted back into TWRP and installed directly from the Micro SD Card instead of sideloading. It was a tough couple days but it worked and I wanted to post my experience to help others get to the other side. It just worked for me as of 6/1. Happy Rooting! Thanks Everyone! :good:

Use Kingo root instead.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] Shaneflandey:
Firstly, I'm not finding Kingroot in the google drive documents. Also, when I try to use the adb, it identifies my device but says that it's unauthorized. Thanks in advance for all help
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] noted2:
I'm not seeing Kingroot there either. It was there because I used it. You should be able to get it from the torrent download still. Kingroot didn't help me anyway. I had to use Kingoroot.

I can't help with the adb. It should work, mine did.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] Shaneflandey:
I managed to get it to authorize the device, luckily. Now do I HAVE to have an SD card to do this, or can I go on anyways?

---------- Post added at 07:35 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:31 PM ----------

I should also mention that I recently ordered one, so basically I need to know if I can root now or if I need to wait for it to come in.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] noted2:
My official answer: I'm unsure.

It appears in the directions the SD card is just an obstacle. I'm not a developer so I have no idea if the boot loop from an SD card serves a purpose. I had a card so I used it.

Perhaps some clarification from an intellect is appropriate.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] Shaneflandey:
Ah. Oh well. In the mean time could you send me the link to the kingoroot you used?

SM-N910V

Android 5.1.1

Patch Level: 2015-12-01

Baseband: N910VVVRU2BPA1

Kernal 3.10.40

Hardware N910V.05

I.E. a standard Verizon Note 4.

All setup have all the files in place. Step 6.5 Kingroot fails only getting to 53%. At that % or less (44%) the phone hangs and reboots. I have tried letting it reboot 10-15 times. Tried another factory reset with the same results. Tried clearing the cache with same results. Tried Kingroot versions up to v4.93 with factory resets with the same results.

Am I doing something wrong here. After the reset I do fill out the necessary data to get the phone up and running to a normal boot. Everything is being done according to the guide. Anyone have an idea?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] jcleav:
apologies for being noobish, but can anybody point me towards a tutorial on how to downgrade from the MM OTA update back to 5.1.1 so I can root/unlock?? very much appreciated

Odin back to stock. There is a thread dedicated to just that.

It's in the development thread. Hsbadr bpa1 firmware.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] Skubacb:
Noted2: Some times there is so much here it is hard to find things you are sure exist. Will try again with Kingo and do some more searching. Thanks

KingoRoot does give me root with the Note4 v5.1.1 It shows custom but Supersume is never able to uninstall KingoRoot and install SuperSu. Tried flashing TWRP but although it shows as custom and an unlocked lock after flashing with Odin I am back to Android recovery not TWRP.

Tried this 3 times. Maybe 4 times will be the charm.

Hats off to the guys that did all of this. Hard to get everything to work when you know it is possible. Much harder for them.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] hadroncollider:
I've got an unlocked bootloader now (finally) but for some reason when I attempt to flash twrp in Odin it gets stuck at the very beginning and stays on the "Downloading... Do not turn off target!!" screen. Anyone else run into this or does anyone know why this is happening?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] Skubacb:
I guess the good goes with the bad. Normal boot I get the Unlocked lock. Unroot with KingoRoot. Install TWRP from the Playstore. Use TWRP to install for recovery. Reboot to TWRP. Great to see it up again! Use TWRP to install Super-SU. Reboot.

Boot loop at the Verizon check mark. Remove battery. Format memory. Use TWRP for a factory reset.

But I am still in the boot loop. Any help would be very much appreciated. Do not know where to go next.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] jcleav:
Thanks for your reply, unfortunately I'm still not 100% confident.

I looked in the development section, which eventually led me to this thread: http://xdaforums.com/note-4-verizon/development/firmware-safe-upgrade-to-lollipop-t3313224

However, that looks like it's more for upgrading from KK than downgrading from MM...but, I'm assuming that it's an identical process?? Even though I have never rooted my N4 and took the OTA update to MM the other day?

So then, I just download Odin and flash this firmware (https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24411628330026135) and then I can just follow the steps to root and unlock the bootloader in thisssssssssss thread?

Thank you so much for taking the time to help me out with what I'm sure are pretty dumb questions.

No problem. I used it to restore my phone. I used the dev ed version then unlocked. That is the right thread though.
