I'm paying monthly for my note 5 as well. But I know it's going to be like ice skating uphill to reach root for this phone. But even without root, I still love my note 5

I heard about this as well, about an hour ago. Maybe there might be hope, not with this phone, but possibly the note 7 edge or s7 edge.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] JulesJam:
why can't the same approach that rooted the S7 be used to root the Note 5?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] MrMike2182:
I tried the approach they used just for the sake of it and it refused to flash the engineering kernel so if that can't be flashed then you can't continue because the stock kernel doesn't support root..
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] Jjavitable22:
Damnit man. I was hoping that since the S7 got root we'd surely be next. I've kept my Verizon Note 5 just in case we did. Guess I can finally sell it without root potential remorse.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] JulesJam:
yeah, after I read the threads I found out about the leaked signed engineering kernel that only works for the Qualcomm based S7 and S7 Edge. Sucks because it means that without a leaked signed engineering kernel for a particular device, root is likely not happening.

The whole reason it works is because it is signed kernel so you need a Samsung employee to leak one for your device and that would risk their job.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] MrMike2182:
Lol!! I was wondering when a mod was going to change that long ago.. Better late than never haha.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] NukkinFuts:
I have time on my hands

Pretty much an android noob but I have tons of experience in other areas. I have no problem rooting though code and config files like build.prop I'd love to help out
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] njdan30:
look how long it took the note 3 to gain root then bootloader unlock .i actually dusted the few i had off to play with, they run 6.0.1 surprisingly well .anyways good luck
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] MrMike2182:
Thanks for the luck. Lol
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] njdan30:
Seriously I'm willing to compensate for the cause of root even tethered is accomplished
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] MrMike2182:
The amount of money I've spent on 4 phones at this point is more than the Bounty itself so it's not going to do much for me even if I did accomplish it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] njdan30:
I know the feeling trust me I got allot of phones but I get then super cheap or just about free from customers that given up on them
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] MrMike2182:
I used to buy tons of cheap phones off Craigslist eBay and other places but when it comes to 700 dollar phones most people don't mess around with them to much to cause them to break.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] njdan30:
You'd be very surprised what people do the day they buy them when you own your own cell phone store Craigslist people think phones are like 63 corvettes or something 5 years later they ask 500 bucks for an iphone 4 or 250 for a galaxy s4 that's beat to hell and cracked nicked dinged and broken power button but other then that is mint condition lmao
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] MrMike2182:
Lmao that's actually kind of funny to see! I see that all over down here in Atlanta!! The whole entire screen will have spider cracks from edge to edge and they'll think it's worth the same amount as it was the day they bought it haha!!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] brandon110:
MrMIke, me and my cousin extend our regards to what you are doing. Although it seems like pissing against the wind and we know where that gets you. Is it really pissing against the wind or is there a real chance you can actually do this?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] MrMike2182:
You'd be surprised.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] Ryano89:
Sweet lord I pray for Root! It would save me from spending money on an upgrade lol.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] Jjavitable22:
Isn't going to happen mate. Nobody contributed to the bounty and no help was given to people like Mr.Mike. This either means nobody wanted root or everybody just wanted a hand out. Get the T-Mobile variant if root is absolutely necessary for you.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] Ryano89:
Yeah I know, I would help out if I could. I try support devs hard work whenever I can. But I'm just not able to at this time, and I don't have the knowledge to contribute to actually doing the work. I do truly appreciate the those who tried though.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] MrMike2182:
I can't say I'm interested in getting the note 7 because it's almost the exact same thing as the Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge and it doesn't have enough "new" stuff to justify that kind of money so I'll just stick to my lovely personalized Note 5! ?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] happy2472:
we should all just buy nexus phones which come unlocked and can be rooted .... Marlin will be out in a month or so and its stats are better then the Note 7. Just sayn

Hey I'm ended up buying a note 5 for verizon broken and fixed it. I was hoping that there would be a root for it but nothing yet. I guess I'll have to wait.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] warriorpluto:
So the idiot that posted this isn't atleast going to change the title?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] HypostaticOnion:
He did. What's your problem dude? Every time I see something from you I see you being a **** to people.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] TheMadScientist:
Request modderators delete this thread. Please.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] warriorpluto:
Check out all the views for the thread. Title still misleading. Now mind your bald headed business.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] HypostaticOnion:
False alarm is misleading? It's a public forum, it is everyone's business.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] TheMadScientist:
This is not a place for rudeness. People have been remanded for less.

Yes the title is misleading and either thread needs deleted or modiefied

And yes it is everyones bussieness the thread is for all verizon users. Not just you. Everyone who owns this device has been waiting for it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] warriorpluto:
Well it wont be coming anytime soon that's for sure. Maybe a year and a half from now when it becomes irrelevant like the note 4 which by the way was the worst Samsung phone I've ever owned.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] TheMadScientist:
Tht is the truth there. I have a tmobile and a sprint motherboard both rooted but for some reason only my verizon board will get signal here. Tmobilez nd sprint both unlocked
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] njdan30:
Fight nice children lol

sent from my Verizon note 3 running 6.0.1 TouchWiz
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] cperkins87:
I saw a site that says you can root a Verizon note 5 it seems legit. Does it work. Also I saw a few other. But this looks legit.

I am trying to find a rootable note 5 on amazon for cheap as possible. I am trying to figure out what all models are rootable.

I currently have a Verizon on3 and would love to keep and root it there has to be a way. This root method says it won't trip Knox what ever that means.

---------- Post added at 12:58 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:31 AM ----------

The site was called mercroot
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] TheMadScientist:
Like other post says try it but more thn likely not gonna work

No known root method yet
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] cperkins87:
Look up mercroot.com
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] TheMadScientist:
i did it says it can i wouyld try seeing i have a free note 5. but i have a bad usb port so i can never flash anything throught odin unless i could through wifi thing is if it were true im sure it would be posted all over the place.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] cperkins87:
You' could swap the motherboard into a different one or use the port. I hope someone can try it. It says it wont trip Knox. I don't see why it won't work. I think it's worth a shot. Seems legit with instructions. Most fake ones are one click. This actually has a full guide. I really want someone ton try it

Thanks for the reply

I am trying to find a note 5 that I can root and I use straight talk on att towers. I have amazon card aND I can't find a good one in good shape for less than 400 dollars. I also want to know can you unlock tmobile or sprint note 5 for free. I tried unlocking a tmobile note 4 with an app and it didn't work.

Also can I get the same speed 4g on sprint on att towers as tmobile one. What is better bang for buck. And do u know any I can find on amazon today. I am needing one to root asap.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] HypostaticOnion:
T-Mobile one can be rooted for sure. I'm curious though if this does root (without bricking) the VZW variant.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] TheMadScientist:
I did remove my back without breaking it. I Had three note 5s tmob sprint both bad screens. And a veriz. With a bad usb port and i mean bad. It was sitting on my table unplugged and it would light up and it would show it being plugged in and out like 3 times a second and beep.

I couldnt get signal with tmob or sprint board for some reason. Maybe a compatibity thing. Both were unlocked and had no native sprint or tmob sig. But also no at&t. But orig verizon picks up wonderfully.

Now i run net 10. Im stuck on a old update i can think of at least 2 or 3 firmware levels.

Always says up to date. I cant even odin up.

Other than the usb circut board this device is moderatly easy to tear down.

I use a little tool called the sly pry. Once the glass is heated it does wonders for screen removal

Its a ridiculously flat flexible pice of steel with almost no thickness.

But still if i mess up on the screen its more than a 200 dolllar mistake for a free phone. Ive been using now for 3 months.

By the way i ended up ripping the actuall usb port rite off the phone out of a angry desperation thought. I tried every thing fron cleaning to crimping usb cords tighter. And its been perfect since between wireless charge and a wifi tranfer protcol.

Other than issue at hand of not being able to use odin. Id prefer not to use the usb port. Less wear and tear. And its actually faster in my sitiations. Utilizes the full potenial speed of the wifi chip to push files to my pc. And i swear its faster to send a 4 or 5 gb files throught wifi than my pcs slow *** usb ports
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] TheMadScientist:
Yea it sucks i got a tmobile and a sprint mother board both are rooted unlocked and have custom roms on them. But i dont think theyre compatible with the verizon frame. Neither will pick up any signal none at all no tmob sprint att or veriz.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] Mr. Brick:
Have we looked into ideas or used similar capabilities that were aquired from the N900A? Such as the "NC2 flasher" or "Safestrap"?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] MrMike2182:
You can't do that unless you have root access.. So I don't see how you can achieve that. The NC2 Flasher can't be used on MM 6.0.1 either.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] Mr. Brick:
Thank you for your reply. I must ask and most definitely appreciate your time on the matter but how were we able to......or what exactly are the differences, bootloader wise of course, between the two? I have pounded away and given myself a severe crash course over the last 2 years on these devices and to my understanding, they have the EXACT issue. However, I have nowhere near your expertise and truly admire your chase of root on this device. Your perseverance is truly admirable and I'm with you for the ride owning (X2)N900T, N910T,N920V,N930V and a super bricked N900A. I am up for being a test dummy and capable of pulling out of almost any brick(took practice). Please dont give up on us as you are the inspiration we feed off of.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] droidzer1:
MrMike2182, Acquired the QPST tool (good one) but have never been able to get it to see my Note 5 VZ. Any suggestions?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] MrMike2182:
You'll need to use the ENG Root kernel and then use adb and pull the HiddenMenu file to your computer from /efs/carrier and edit it from OFF to ON and then push it back into /efs/carrier and then go into the dialing pad and type *#0808# and change it the last option so you can use the phone as modem too.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] angel_boulevard:
can be possible root on andoird 7 ?hope

vzw galaxy s6 is rooted for a long time ago. Maybe s6 exploit will work on our note 5? Link https://xdaforums.com/verizon-galaxy-s6/development/root-guide-how-to-root-simplified-t3104094

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] dave28658:
I have rooted and unrooted no knox trip and all so once bootloader is un locked ya can down grade not a problem im just looking for a twrp and a rooted rom and will release it
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] chubbrock:
will this work on Nougat? and/or can you downgrade from Nougat?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] ramiss:
You will be a God in my eye if I can root my Verizon Note 5. It's the first Android phone since my HTC Hero that hasn't been rooted!

---------- Post added at 11:02 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:54 PM ----------

I would be happy to just root the stock rom. TWRP would be nice too!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] dave28658:
Ok guys heres the deal i i spent a good part of the day playing with this phone

And looks like its a pretty cut and dry deal

Just like the sm-g935v we will be using that twrp and my bootloader file will be up loaded to drop box it will not trip not either

I will post soon as i wrap it all up guys i should have it done tomorrow sometime

---------- Post added at 12:08 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:06 AM ----------

Once bootloader is unlocked ya can downgrade but honestly i have had this phone 1 day so it was on 6.0.1 so thats what i went with
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] ramiss:
You had this phone 1 day and got it rooted?? Amazing!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] dave28658:
All rite I'm done playing to night

Hears the deal I will put it all together

Tomorrow after work but it's flash Odin

My 2 files to unlock the bootloader

Then add fast boot the super user files

Will be just stock rom rooted that's it

Sorry but not to bad for a day off and a 8th of weed...

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] MrMike2182:
[MENTION=4253404]tylerlawhon[/MENTION] For some reason I don't believe this guy claiming he has a way to unlock the bootloader and root plus twrp.. Most of these people who claim they have it and then just disappear almost always seem to have less than 30 posts!! And he was supposed to have it ready yesterday and hasn't responded back.. And besides, you can't use the twrp from the G935V because they're no where near the same!!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] warriorpluto:
Lol no "real" developer is going to let anyone know they're working on root or an exploit. From previous experiences they just post when it's ready and never give a heads up before time. The guy saying he had root on this thread is probably some fat kid sitting on his computer with a bottle of lotion right beside him looking for attention lol what a loser.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] HypostaticOnion:
While I'm not super optimistic of it working myself, that's no reason to go full on **** mode. I don't see anything remotely helpful or worthwhile from you. Your first statement simply isn't true. I've worked very closely with many developers and know they do sometimes let people know ahead of time. Your comment about him being "some fat kid" "with a bottle of lotion" offers nothing to the discussion here, not to mention it's incredibly toxic to the entire community. No one owes you root, and none of this is encouraging anyone to develop root either. The community at one point was all about encouraging people to learn how to crack open locked down devices. Instead, now it's full of people like you who are so negative and cutting, no one wants to contribute anymore because of the self-entitled attitudes that have run rampant all over XDA. You should be ashamed of yourself
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] warriorpluto:
I really don't care. If you like trolls to come in the forum anD keep getting other Peoples hopes up then good for you. You might be a troll too. I don't even own a note 5 anymore lol I've moved on to the 8 now. So don't get mad at me for speaking for everyone else. Now if this fat kid doesn't come back with root then what? Lol foot in your gigantic donkey sized mouth now move aside kido.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] HypostaticOnion:
Except it's no foot in my mouth. I'm not saying he's got it. I am saying you're not being helpful in the least. I'm not a troll, but I am sick of seeing awful people in the forums.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] warriorpluto:
You are awful. And yes you are a troll too keep going back and forth with me lol I guess you had nothing else to do today

---------- Post added at 05:06 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:04 PM ----------

Like I said. Root will be coming from our smart Asian brothers from overseas. Or either from South America. All the good devs in America have been bought out or have better things to do. We'll see root next year
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] HypostaticOnion:
Basically. I'm not trolling either. I'm telling you to stay the hell out of the forums. All you do is troll. I'm home from work. We could do this all evening. I don't care. No one here likes you or has any respect for you and you don't ever have anything real to offer towards the conversation. You're as ass plain and simple.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] warriorpluto:
No you aren't a moderator. The guy you're defending must be your boyfriend? Didn't know you swing that way. I'll continue to frequent these footings and shut down your and the food your defending coming here with false root hope lol. Now you get your fat ass the hell out my forums . I was here first. ?

---------- Post added at 09:44 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:43 PM ----------

If I cared what anyone thought about me I wouldn't be making so much money lol I must have whipped your salty butt in dead or alive 5 before. I think that's why your hate me lol. You suck
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] HypostaticOnion:
Lol you're ridiculous mate. I'm not defending anyone. I'm simply saying you're not being helpful, not helping anyone, not contributing anything. Look through my post history if you must. I've been helping people, testing betas and alphas for ROMs, and personally know some of the best developers on XDA. I never once expected to have root on this phone. I've helped more in testing for root on this phone than you have any idea of. I fail to see anything that you've actually done besides be a **** to people and call people names. I've never met 99% of the people here, and I certainly haven't met the guy saying he's rooted the phone. As a matter of fact, I have doubted from the beginning that anything would come from this. While I'm not defending anyone, I am saying you've been nothing but negative doubting everyone who has even put forth an effort risking bricking their phones just to see if there's a way to root and maybe share with the public. For all I know, this guy had it. Or he may not, I don't know I don't have his phone in my hand. And lol at how you think so highly of yourself to think I'm salty about a trashy video game lol. I honestly can't remember the last time I played a game of any kind considering I have a job and a family. Good luck with your sad existence in which you have to berate people online to make yourself feel better. I'm genuinely sorry. I'm done here btw. Clearly you can't hear criticism, nor do you have the ability to learn how to play nice with others. Evidently your mother never taught you if you can't say anything nice, don't say anything at all.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] warriorpluto:
Guess I struck a chord with you. ?Now you're writing long love letters that im not about to bother to read. If your family is taking up all your time that you can't even play a game then why are you here at XDA? Lmao you fool. You can be playing a game right now but you have your​ thick ass neck hanging down looking at your phone arguing with me. Lol

Well maybe just a loony with 13 posts here..... or maybe he doesn't think you have root. I'll believe you do until proven otherwise. If you really have a root solution I'm sure there are a lot of people who will thank you and I believe there is even a bounty available here or on another forum of several hundred dollars. A good time to show what you have :good:

No need to be Apple and wrap it up in a neat package. This community can handle complex steps and enjoy being in on the process. In fact we trust it more if we see the steps.

Collaboration is win win.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] droidzer1:
The reference to a 'loony' was NOT referring to you dave28658. It was referring to the post 'stop be silent' which seemed rather odd at the time. Anyway I'm sure a whole lot of people will be thrilled to get their VZ Note 5 rooted. Mine is not my main phone and is not active on a cell network so if it doesn't get rooted no big thing - I'll just sell it and get a Sprint version or other rootable carrier. I grabbed this one as it was a very good price in mint condition and thought at the time root was available for it but obviously didn't do my homework well enough first :( Anyway hoping this works out for everyone to get root on the VZ version.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] HypostaticOnion:
Looking forward to it bud. Shoot me a message if you need me.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] droidzer1:
Beginning to doubt this ray of hope for root....
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] MrMike2182:
Ehh, I can make z3x say I have root too, just by flashing the ENG root kernel and then have it scan for root access, and it'll be successful. The problem is, it still won't make it so you can mount /system as rw ... Which is what I "feel", is going on.. The ending of this thread is still the truth... (Update: False Alarm) ...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] droidzer1:
I think you are probably right. Let me ask though if that ENG root kernel gives you root access from the command line what stops you from being able to mount system or any other folders as rw? I seem to have found a program that can disable Knox on this phone - is it Knox that is blocking the rw from the command line ?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] MrMike2182:
No it's set by the kernel itself upon booting.. It's setting /system to ro only.. If you do cat /proc/mounts you'll see the options that are set for /system and I've tried using toybox and toolbox and nothing works it either says denied or the entire phone just freezes.. We need an insecure boot.. I don't think that'll happen.
