( Re-partition sd card ) ( PaulPizz ROM-5.1.1 is under

Past Builds

)

Here we go....In Windows, Copy samsung_unlock_n4-fix to the "Minimal ADB and Fastboot" install folder location.

On Phone, after doing a Factory Reset and without a sim card, Skip all initial phone setup except wifi.

Rejected all popup offers and tick don’t remind me.

Connect phone to usb as a Media Device then Copy these files to the phones internal storage.

(1)NewKingrootV4.85_C139_B255_en_release_2016_03_29_105203.apk

(2)Emotion-TW-5.1.1-nightly-r21-RC1-SM-N910P.zip

(3)BETA-SuperSU-v2.71-20160331103524.zip

Disconnect usb cable and enable USB debugging, allow Unknown sources installations, also change Display timeout to 10 min. and

format your sd card

. Close all recent apps. Reconnect usb cable ( When prompted click Always allow usb debugging on this computer)

Install and open Kingroot ( decline Google offers...) and go to the point "Root access is unavailable" DO NOT start root yet, WAIT until the last second so the phone will remain stable. Copy the name "samsung_unlock_n4-fix" from the actual file so it will be on your clipboard and you can right click it into the adb commands.

Start the program "Minimal ADB and Fastboot" and use the commands

(1) adb devices

(2) adb push samsung_unlock_n4-fix /data/local/tmp/

(3) adb shell

{[ HERE NOW Start Rooting with Kingroot. Once phone is rooted continue with the adb commands }]

(4) su ( You have to grant root permission on the phone and continue)

(5) cd /data/local/tmp/

(6) chmod 777 samsung_unlock_n4-fix

(7) chown root.root samsung_unlock_n4-fix

(8) ./samsung_unlock_n4-fix

When prompted type in yes and Wait... Wait for the phone to go into a boot-loop then disconnect the usb cable, pull the battery and SD card.

Check in Download, you should now have MODE: Developer.

The boot-loader is unlocked.

On computer close “Minimal ADB and Fastboot” and open Odin

untick auto reboot.

Connect usb cable then flash twrp-3.0.2-0-trltevzw.tar.md5. Wait a minute... untill Odin finishes then pull the battery.

Next to last thing, reinstall battery and manually boot into recovery.

You now have a unlocked bootloader with TeamWin Recovery.

STOP

FIRST thing, use it to make a complete backup { Now at this point you could restore a TWRP backup or -HYPERLINK-install a custom ROM. OR To remain stock with root continue.......}

Install Emotion-TW-5.1.1-nightly-r21-RC1-SM-N910P.zip and BETA-SuperSU-v2.71-20160331103524.zip with TWRP from internal storage. Then do a Factory Reset with TWRP or from within the phones setting and it will be good to go. -HYPERLINK-To reuse the SD card re-format / re-partition it with your computer.

I have also been able to used Odin to flashed the SM-N910V Developer Edition up to date with the retail BPA1 file found on Sammobile then used the direction above to convert it back to Developer Mode. Have Fun and less get busy before Verizon closes the window.

I recommend using Gatesjunior's Debloater program to block SDM.apk before reconnecting wifi or someday you could get a over the air updated that could lock it back up.

Some people are having problems with Kingroot because they are starting off with a corrupted phone.

To clear up corruption, junk files or whatever from your phone Odin Stock 5.1.1, and do a Factory Reset twice in a row. Restore from within Recovery and from within the Phone Setting. Skip all the initial phone setup just do the clean up twice. After that you could still have some corruption but, That should clean it up.
