It would appear the wait is over.... OMG At least I think - I just found this seconds ago but it appears Chainfire has CF AutoRoot available now for the SM-920V but it's only if you are on Nougat. If that's what it takes to get root I'll update. I'm sure this is just released by Chainfire as it only shows 11 downloads on his site. BUT - The big question is does the bootloader need to be unlocked to flash this as that's his normal warning. I don't think in that past he ever had VZ versions of CF auto root for most Galaxy Note's and like S5's since those had to be done with Safestrap due to the locked BL. What do you think?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] Icetech3:
Gonna wait til someone else has the balls to try it and report back :) I just got a note 5 given to me a few days ago and need root before i will get rid of my 4.. with how dead this forum is i doubt we will ever see a custom rom. but would be nice to remove excess verizon ****..
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] Freakyd9984@gmail.com:
How can I get to Nougat ? Every time I go to software update it says

Software not available is it because Verizon does not have the new Nougat update, or is it because I'm using a Verizon note 5 with a Metro Pcs Sim card? Thanks for the help if someone could help me out
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] angel_boulevard:
remove sim card then reboot,check for update 2-3time.the new update appear
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] MrMike2182:
Doesn't work I already tried a little while ago. It starts to flash the recovery image and then just freezes halfway through and I let it sit for over 20 minutes and then just pulled the wire and the phone still boots fine it made no changes. But damn, props to chainfire since he must have figured it out.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] Freakyd9984@gmail.com:
Ok I took sim card out rebooted and checked the software update 3 different times and still getting the same error message
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] Freakyd9984@gmail.com:
Could it because I'm not on Verizon network , my phone is unlocked I'm using Metro Pcs - T-Mobile network
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] MrMike2182:
You can't get the software update by using the phone on another carrier.. If the phones not currently active on Verizons network then you have to download the file SM-N920VVRU3CQB9 and flash it using Odin. No other way.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] Freakyd9984@gmail.com:
Got you, do you know where I can find that file to download and the correct Odin file that I need to download I would really appreciate it if you could show me the download links to those 2 links ... The SM-N920VVRU3CQB9 file you said i need to flash on my US verizon will not mess anything up correct

And as far as flashing the new Rom I just go to Odin, enter my phone into download mode and hit flash from Odin? Is that all I'll need
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] MrMike2182:
No it shouldn't mess anything up it's just to update to Nougat 7.0.. You have to download this file Nougat 7.0 and then download odin from wherever make sure oem unlock is enabled and you have Samsung usb drivers installed on the PC and you probably should use Smart Switch from Samsung too so you can create a backup of your stuff in case anything does go wrong that way you don't lose nothing.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] Freakyd9984@gmail.com:
I just tried looking up that Smart Switch from Google so that I could download it and back up my current Rom and all is doing is taking me to a app to download which allows you to transfer data to old phone to new phone , and on the Odin should I use the 3.0.7 verison or does it matter

ahh ****.. sorry thought it was the oem unlock you couldn't find:) too early...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] MrMike2182:
No that's for the phone side you need the Windows PC 1..

Smart Switch

And that odin version should be fine but I used 3.10.61
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] Freakyd9984@gmail.com:
Thank you very very much for being so patience with me and answering all my questions it's really much appreciated I will give this a shot
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] Freakyd9984@gmail.com:
One more quick question which option do I click when using Odin to flash
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] MrMike2182:
AP.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] Icetech3:
Trying to flash CF now.. not looking good though.. flashed about 1/3 of the way and has been sitting for like 2 minutes. Will let it sit for a bit and report back if i have a brick or a phone :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] MrMike2182:
It won't be bricked... Did you read my post 2 pages back? I tried and said it didn't work.. Just pull the plug and hold the volume down button and power button until the screen turns off then back on and tap the home key to boot normally. I let it sit 20 minutes and no go.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] Icetech3:
Ah. sorry mike. i missed your post.. thanks.. i was wondering how to force it to turn off :)

P.S. it's nice to know cf might be working on this or even getting close though
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] MrMike2182:
Yeah that's true! That came out of nowhere lol.. Hopefully he gets it working.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] Icetech3:
I would have no issue living without root.. if i can get rid of all the verizon bloatware and if there was a real adblock without root :(
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] MrMike2182:
I cannot find an ad block without root either and I tried searching forever and couldn't find 1 that truly works..
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] Freakyd9984@gmail.com:
Hey Mr Mike I been trying to download that link to Nougat 7.0 that you left me and it gets to about 80 percent them out stops, pauses then I resume abs it does the same thing ... I've tried downloading it about 6 different times and I keep having to restart it fails. I've also tried myself to download it from Google search but I can't find a link when I search for it, do you have a different download link for this new update please
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] bladez:
I have this problem as well. I use DNS66, and it works.....I'd say about 80% of the time. Some times you need to updated/reboot it and tinker with it to get it to work again, which is really annoying. My old S4 with root had absolutely no problems with blocking ads :/ .
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] MrMike2182:
Actually I don't that's the only 1 I've found.. I personally have my own 1 that I pulled from Smart Switch after it downloaded it to upgrade my phone but it's a total of 5 GB and I don't think it'll be able to upload any time soon even if I zip it to 2.5GB it's still huge.. Some times that website does that just leave it sit there it usually starts back up again.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] Freakyd9984@gmail.com:
Ok I'll try that but if you are able to up load the 5gb one then I would try that to I don't mind the space I have plenty of that , I could also may download that 5GB one and transfer it to my computer and delete it off my phone
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] droidzer1:
Here is the Nougat version that Chainfire used in this root: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=817550096634763863

---------- Post added at 10:02 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:01 AM ----------

Were you running that Nougat version he had associated with that cf autoroot?

---------- Post added at 10:06 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:02 AM ----------

Look at BK Disabler will block a lot of VZ stuff. Also some Startup managers can help without root.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] Icetech3:
My phone is on that exact model number of nougat... and root locked up. Unless that is a modified version of the rom and different than the official one? And thanks for the tip about BK.. will check it out :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] MrMike2182:
Yes it's the same one however I'll flash his anyway just to see.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] Freakyd9984@gmail.com:
Yea I been trying that download link for 2 hrs and ask I'm getting is to about 80 percent then it pauses and I have to restart every time is their a different download link
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] droidzer1:
Have you looked at all the other parameters on Chainfire's page that refers to the some of these things:

nobleltevzw	nobleltevzw	universal7420	exynos5	. I think their may have been 2 different CPU's for this model - one of them being the exynos5. I'll try this soon but just lost power at my house a minute ago due to a storm. Running on an inverter at the moment. Not a good time to try flashing.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] Icetech3:
No.. i just went to the autoroot download page. it didn't mention cpu's.. i didn't know this phone had 2 models. just got it yesterday.. need to learn a bit :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] droidzer1:
I may be wrong about there being 2 different cpu's - but chainfire always lists the cpu as some phones have different ones within a model.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] MrMike2182:
It doesn't work it said REV check fail (cache) when I tried to flash it with my octopus box.. It also caused the phone to factory reset just so you know lol.. No way to flash this that I know of.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] droidzer1:
Darn, Does Chainfire still post here on XDA? It would be good to know what this particular autoroot was about. I see since posting about it here last night when there were only 11 downloads of it that it now has 84 downloads. If this storm passes I'll give it a try but the thunder was so close it knocked a picture off my wall so I'm waiting for a better time as a power surge from a lightning strike wouldn't be a good plan while flashing :rolleyes:

---------- Post added at 11:17 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:12 AM ----------

Lots of apps on the playstore to show more info about your hardware - I usually use this one: Phone INFO ★Samsung★ from vndnguyen.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] Icetech3:
Ran phone info. mine is exynos5 on the correct nougat build.. i think something got uploaded to chainfire by accident honestly..
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] droidzer1:
It would be good to hear from Chainfire. I would assume he is the only one who can upload to his site but at this point it's all assumptions ;)

---------- Post added at 12:02 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:44 AM ----------

I'm guessing Chainfire is an incredibly busy guy but I did just send him a PM asking if he has any more info on this CF auto root for this VZ Note 5.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] Freakyd9984@gmail.com:
So is this download link that was posted will it work on this version of my phone
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] Icetech3:
Information is all in the last 2 pages.. and also on the chainfire download link..

Sorry.. in a **** mood.. A: your phone is on 6.0.. b: it doesn't even work....
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] Freakyd9984@gmail.com:
I was talking about just updating to Nougat 7.0 I downloaded a tar. File and was just wanting to make sure it's ok to update my phone from Odin with that file
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] droidzer1:
I believe that would work but until someone confirms the CF auto root works for this phone or what Chainfire has going on with this I'd stick to the ROM you have. You may want to look in over here where it's more likely we will here from Chainfire about this:

https://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1980683&page=196
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] Icetech3:
Ahh there are alot of links in this thread.. figured you meant the CF one.. sorry
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] droidzer1:
I decided to try this CF auto root on my BQB1 Marshmallow with Odin. That .tar file is huge - about 300 Megabytes. I let it run for around 5 or 6 minutes and then Odin said 'Fail'. Rebooted and everything was okay - no loss of Apps or data. I used the Odin and the Odin.ini file included with the CF auto root as I could see some settings were different from the typical Odin.ini file. But no luck yet. I am not really wanting to update to Nougat just to try this until I see if anyone else succeeds or we hear from Chainfire what this is about - being that this is one of the only CF auto roots offered for the typical Verizon locked bootloader. Maybe he found some exploit in Nougat that wasn't available in MM but I'd like to know first before updating.

---------- Post added at 02:06 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:55 PM ----------

As long as you definitely have the SM-N920V phone that should be good to go. Just make sure to check the MD5 of the Nougat download so it matches this: 9fad2bd49f468542a54ffb41047acb97 for N920VVRU3CQB9_Nougat.zip. Free MD5 checkers are easy to find if you don't have one - just Google it.

Hi guys,

Someone can help me to get a custom recovery for N920V ? like TWRP or Philz Touch. I have tired to search it since a month. Sorry if am in the wrong thread annd sorry for my bad english too.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] Riden44:
bootlooder of N920V is locked. Without bootloader unlock we can't flash any recovery.

Maybe we can use this to get control of our phone :)

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] droidzer1:
I checked my Note 5, Note 2, Note 4 and a few others with this app ( https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.vndnguyen.wifichipset&hl=en ) which is made by vndnguyen (a member on XDA) to check for the vulnerability. UNFORTUNATELY - if you read to the end of this thread ( https://xdaforums.com/android/apps-games/wifi-chipset-info-t3647602/page2 ) you will see that this App apparently fails to check properly for the vulnerability. So FORTUNATELY this might be a way to gain root but I somewhat doubt it.
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ammymike7:
I have lg g4 indian Version H818N. I have bought it recently. Now the issue is with white balance of manual camera mode. When I change white balance in the manual mode, it suddenly shows green tint and when I finally click it, the green tint becomes more visible in the final image. Now, when I keep white balance auto then there is no problem. If auto white balance detect the scene as 4800k, I change the white balance bar to 4900k/4700k and bring it back to 4800k and keep it 4800k myself, the green tint comes up (all the other settings remain same, I am only changing white balance bar). I have tried everything but nothing seems to work.

I went to nearby lg service centre, the guy over there had another fresh lg g4 with him. When done on that cell, same problem occurs. Earlier, I thought it's on my phone only.

[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] One Twelve:
Can't seem to reproduce this problem on my H818N still on Lollipop V10L

First shot is in manual with auto everything and noted auto WB chose 4800K. Just love how it tells you what its thinking :)

Auto WB @ 4800K by One Twelve, on Flickr

Then i went into manual WB and set it to 3000K, bluish tint as expected.

Manual WB Set @ 3000K by One Twelve, on Flickr

Then i pushed it back to 4800K, colour looks similar to the first one. No green tint.

Manual WB set @ 4800K by One Twelve, on Flickr

Then i pushed it up to 6000K

The light on the wall is from four fluorescent daylight tubes. Slightly more yellow than it appears to my eyes. Guess the right colour would be lower to mid 5000K.

PS:

Colour of the wall, not white, they call it macadamia.
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ammymike7:
I am using 6.0 V20c-IND-XX. By what I can see, Yours appears to be fine. Do you suggest me to reset the phone once? Will that help?

But the scenario is that when I visited lg service centre, there was a g4 there which had bootloop issue and had it motherboard changed. Even that phone was same as mine. Green tint when you just tickle your white valance yourself. I thought if everyone had this problem, it would have taken over Internet by storm specially here on xda. But I found nothing anywhere regarding this.
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] One Twelve:
Do you notice the green tint happening with others types of light. Say if you tried the same with natural light only does it happen too ?

You can try the v10 camera. I think the stills manual camera works in MM, it will FC on LL.

Manual controls in video now. V3 should work on MM. It currently does not save to sd card only internal. You can try to play with manual WB in video and maybe this will help to understand better what the problem is.

[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ammymike7:
I installed v4 of it. The problem is still there. When the sun is strong, The tint is not visible. In artificial light it is visible almost in every scene. I have also observed that my display alsoo has a greenish tint. Whites look bit greenish. I don't know that to do. I am just glad the auto wb in this cell works like charm in almost every scene.
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] One Twelve:
That's the baffling bit. If it did not work in auto at least we could say there is a hardware fault with the camera. But it only gets it wrong in manual, that too manual WB.

Which suggests some sort of software fault.

Try clearing cache & data for the stock camera in settings - apps.

Then restart the device. long press, Switch off. Then switch on.

How long have you had the device btw ? is this green tine that happened suddenly or always been the case.

[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ammymike7:
Its 602! But what do I say to him if the other cell is having the same problem? That's why I went to the service centre and ask the guy there. The other g4 had same problem. I thought it should be in every g4.
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] One Twelve:
It's not there in other G4's. And it should not be on yours either. Show them the photos i posted.

In the service centre first thing they will do is factory reset. So maybe you can try that now and see if it fixes anything.

I find it surprising that a bug might have potentially crept in here when there was none earlier.

This is one of those things most will not notice if they use auto all the time.
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ammymike7:

What's the problem ?
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] One Twelve:
In auto wb works fine.

When you go to manual and change the wb a little it produces a green tint. See post #5.

---------- Post added at 12:05 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:01 AM ----------

Don't go to the service centre just yet.

if you bought online, then you need to find a local LG dealer that has a G4 on display. Go to the shop and take a few shots with your camera and the store camera. This will give you plenty of samples to make the case.

Then ask the guy in the shop to refer you to his lead. Explain the problem to the lead. Does not matter at this point where you bought it, point is it is an LG product and you have a camera that is not performing as expected.

Ask them what to do next.

if the lead isn't helpful, ask to talk to his boss until you find someone that can back you when you go the service centre.

This way if the service centre refuses or gives an excuse you have somebody higher up in the company to help you. It might even take somebody in the headoffice in Delhi to sort it out.

..or it could be straightforward with no hassle :)
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DoKaTSuYa:
For me, if you are in manual mode, make sure to reput white balance in auto, sometime it changes, that's why in a lot of reviews, they said LG G4 in white balance sucks, but it's a little bug, just press auto white balance again. Actually the G4's has the best white balance especially at night, thanks to the Color Spectrum sensor.

It's not a big deal.
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ammymike7:
So according to you, every g4 manual white balance mode has this problem? And we should not manually change the whire balance and leave it to auto all the time?
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DoKaTSuYa:
Every G4 has this problem, yeah, but in manual mode, but just click on auto for the white balance, don't touch ISO or shutter speed, just repress on auto for the white balance to make sure.
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ammymike7:
But the other guy 'one twelve' did it and did it perfectly. He has posted few samples of auto and manual white balance with no tint at all in any of the manual wb shots. What about that? Had all the G4 been affected, he wouldn't have done that by his G4. There must be some tint in his photos which isn't there.
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] One Twelve:
Can you do the same experiment and post your photos. Show us this green tint on your phone. Easier to see if you shoot a white wall.

Cos i can't seem to get it on mine. Why...

Is this a marshmellow thing cos it ain't there on lollipop.
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DoKaTSuYa:
Maybe I will... lazy :D it's midnight here, but I noticed that the white balance is very bad when you take a picture with the flash, you can noticed this green tint everytime, even the G5...

---------- Post added at 11:50 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:46 PM ----------

Actually, as I said, just press once during manual mode, on auto for the white balance, it's resolve the problem...
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ammymike7:
No one has used flash. I request both of you to do one thing. Take any snap of a scene with light colours. First use auto wb and notice the reading of camera. Take a shot in auto wb first. Then, say camera reads it 3800k, go to manual wb move the slider dow to 3600k and bring it back to 3800k and then take a shot and compare. That will sum up the issue.
