You first need to read the OP here:

https://xdaforums.com/note-4-verizon/development/howto-bootloader-unlock-upgrade-to-t3398144/page16

Then come back and ask questions if you have issues.

Search, search, and search again. It's difficult on XDA to find things, but it's all there...
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] scotbreezy59:
The multiple flash of firmware is what confuses me sha.... but let me try given to the instructions he gave.... i need to flash d 6.0.1 stock firmware before the jasmine rom.... but since my fone is pre rooted wat if i use twrp and flash the jasmine rom direct against the 5.0.1 i have will it work?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] glen5678:
If you can flash TWRP by unlocking your BL in 5.0.1, then let us know.

I've never tried it... :confused:

Tried to root with kingoroot but it didn't work, is their any other way to root the phone, now runing 5.1.1 android version, the one posted in this thread. Thanks

Hello glen...... How can I unlock the bootloader in 5.1.1 because, I have flashed the firmware made available in this thread
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] glen5678:
1. Install KingORoot on your PC.

2. Perform a full factory reset on device; reboot and do NOT login nor create any google or samsung accounts.

3. Enable USB Debugging on device.

3. Disable and/or kill/force stop all non-essential apps

4. Try to kill/force stop all Knox apps

5. Now open KingORoot on your PC

6. Open ADB on PC and wait...

7. Hopefully KingORoot will root successfully, if so quickly run all adb steps.

Sometimes Android will interfere with KingORoot, so I've had to use these steps to finally get temp. root access.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] scotbreezy59:
To run adb is another tricky thing because i dont know how to do it. Though
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] scotbreezy59:
I tried again the kingoroot for phone and it said root success and install supersu but when i went to super su it said binaries not updated.... is that the temp root your talking about mr glen.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] scotbreezy59:
Glen thanks so much you have been so helpful.

But this rooting have stressed me out, i haven't taken my bathe and is almost 4pm where i am...

I successfully did the temp root... i rooted the device an adb found su.... but in running the adb steps it says "no file found or directory " wen i ran the adb steps i dont know whether the adb didn't see the unlock_n4 file.... cos i ran cd /data/local/tmp/

And the following steps under it but is as if where the unlock_n4 file is, is not located in the directory i ran in command....so adb couldn't find the unlock_n4 file.

does that make any sense, but i have successfully rooted the device with KingORoot but couldn't run d other adb steps.

So how can i now get adb to locate the file in cd/data/local/tmp/
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] scotbreezy59:
Even the root checker shows am rooted but when ever i run this command adb keep saying "no such file found or directory"

cd /data/local/tmp/

chmod 777 samsung_unlock_n4-fix

chown root.root samsung_unlock_n4-fix

./samsung_unlock_n4-fix

Thats after initially running this command adb push samsung_unlock_n4-fix /data/local/tmp/

With KingORoot to get root access.

Pls i need help Asap.... please
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] glen5678:
Every time you reboot your device, you lose temp root and your cd/data/local/tmp/ is wiped.

Try renaming the file to n4_fix then run each command:

adb push n4_fix /data/local/tmp/

adb shell

su

cd /data/local/tmp/

chmod 777 n4_fix

chown root.root n4_fix

./n4_fix
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] scotbreezy59:
Thanks
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] scotbreezy59:
Finally rooted and running jasmine rom 7.0 thanks glen.... thank you very much. Is there any sweet custom rom out there you we recommend to me... thanks very much.

Firmware Upgrade [N910VVRS2CQE1]

OP updated.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] kevintm78:
No there is no update to the bootloader once on the MM (CPD1) version. At that point is just a matter of updating your modem.

I can give you some details on extracting the modem and packing it up so it can be flashed in Odin. If you're interested, pm me and let me know. I don't want to go to far off topic on this thread.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] smittyinflorida:
removed- figured it out
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] faserzdzsd:
Followed the instructions and unlocked the CPD1 bootloader. One thing though, at first I had trouble rooting with kingoroot after flashing N910VVRU2BPA1_N910VVRU2CPD1_FullFirmware.tar.md5 and my phone has gotten hot from multiple times of trying. I turned off the phone, let the battery recharge to full, went back a few hours later and kingoroot worked...... So don't be discouraged when kingoroot fails, it could be your phone has gotten too hot or battery was low......
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] cupqwakz37:
UMMMMM hey you guys , why does my baseband version read CQA1 ? Shouldn't this be CQE1 ?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] glen5678:
Did you:

Extract and flash N910VVRS2CQE1_PartialFirmware_DevEd.tar.md5.7z via Odin ?

Also, which ROM did you load?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] mojoswagger1980:
Hi, can I extract and flash with flashfire? Or is that a no go? *UPDATED: Flashed with flashfire and it looks all good ;)
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] jhan0720:
I have a question with that

To unlock the bootloader do i have to get down to lollipop?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Zacharee1:
Sort of. The MM bootloader is unlockable, but in order to unlock, you need root, which is where the hybrid Lollipop/MM firmware comes in. You have to be on Lollipop, then root+unlock, then hybrid, do it again, then custom MM.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] luckyfate:
Hi everyone,

I was tempting to upgrade to MM by flashing CD1 firmware on my Lollipop 5.1.1. I did not unlock bootloader on Lollipop, instead I unlocked on CD1 firmware and successfully rooted the device. Now, phone keeps bootlooping. I flashed back to 5.1.1 and it still bootloops, any fix?

[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] hemo3den:
Can I use Pc to root my phone through usb with kingroot or kingoroot instead of data connection since wifi isn't working after flashing N910VVRU2BPA1_N910VVRU2CPD1_FullFirmware.tar.md5

Also do I have to flash MM Safe Upgrade, JasmineROM or just choose one of them

please answer me ?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] glen5678:
The PC method is preferred... I always use KingORoot.... It may reboot in the process, but just start over and make sure you do a Factory Reset and do not add any accounts when it boots back up.

MM Safe Upgrade is flashed via Odin; that makes you on the MM bootloader/baseband.

JasmineROM, or any other MM based Note 4 ROM, you can clean flash via TWRP.

I don't own a Note 4 but shopping for new phones. Is this still relevant today? If I buy a brand new Note 4 (Verizon) assuming it is completely up-to-date with it's firmware, will I still be able to root and unlock the bootloader?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Zacharee1:
You will, but I don't think you're going to find a brand new Note 4. It's also almost a three year old phone. You might want to look into something from at least 2016 if you want a new phone.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] ccoager:
Unfortunately there are not many choices when it comes to phones with removable batteries, unlocked bootloaders and an SD slot. I see some options on Amazon but I also don't mind buying used from Swappa.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Zacharee1:
I moved from this to the LG V20 for precisely these reasons. The Note 4 doesn't actually have an unlocked bootloader; it's an exploit to unlock it. I think the V20 on Verizon has had its unlock method patched, so that could be an issue for you. If you're at all willing to move to T-Mobile, you can get that V20, which can be downgraded pretty easily and unlocked. It's also $480 for a new one, since LG is never popular, so pretty cheap.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] glen5678:
Not to mention IRblaster.... I use my Note 4 to control my entire entertainment center, and my mom's, and the TVs at the gym and doctor's office...hehe :p

Is there anyone out there that can PLEASE help me with a tutorial on how to update a Modem with Odin? i have Note 4 N910V running custom Rom, Nseven Rom and would LOVE to update the modem to CPF3 https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24588232905720368 provided by the awesome hsbadr. I use Macs only so the instructions with Odin im not familiar at all. I can get my hands on a pc to use it, but I i don't want to brick my Phone. Reason for doing it is that sometimes my 4g LTE is not as strong as it used to be and Verizon has stated for me to stay up to date on my modem, and the updates are for a reason. Any help to point me in the direction would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

I've been on rooted 5.1.1. for a few months now and want to update to Marshmallow. I've tried following this, but am having problems. I've tried the rooting process numerous times, but root checker always tells me that I'm not rooted. I've used KingRoot 4.8.5, as well as the latest KingRoot, and it doesn't matter. I did use Odin to install N910VVRU2BPA1_N910VVRU2CPD1_FullFirmware.tar.md5 before attempting to root.

I also did a reset of my phone, so that I could be sure that nothing was on it that might be interfering with the rooting process.

My build number is LMY47X.N910VVRU2BPA1

My baseband is N910VVRU2CPD1

What am I missing?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] glen5678:
What was the last step you were successfully able to complete???
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] creeater:
Have you tried Kingoroot? That's what worked for me. https://www.kingoapp.com
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] usmaak:
I think that I've tried everything. I finally went back to 5.1.1, using instructions found here on this site and N910VVRU2BPA1_N910VVZW2BPA1_N910VVRU2BPA1_HOME.tar.md5. I then started following the original instructions that I used to root my phone that was on 5.1.1.. The instructions are here: https://xdaforums.com/note-4-verizon/general/easy-guide-how-to-root-verizon-galaxy-t3454593

KingORoot said that the phone was rooted, but root checker couldn't find root. I then pushed samsung_unlock_n4-fix to the phone and ran the commands. It worked fine, but then my phone got stuck in a nasty boot loop where it wouldn't get past the boot screen. So I flashed CPF3_HOME on it so that at least it would work.

I had zero problems the first time I rooted this thing. Now no matter what I do, I can't get it rooted. I so wish that I had just left it alone.

So, now I have

baseband: N910VVRU2CPF3

build: MMB29M.N910VVRU2CPF3

on my phone, and at least I have a working phone, even if it is no longer rooted :mad: I didn't even need root for much. I just used it to kill ads on the browser and find and fix wakelocks.

I was going to keep the Note 4 until it died, but I don't want it if it's on stock, unrooted. Guess I'll be looking at the Note 8 when it comes out next month, not that vzw will have root on it.

I did try kingroot and kingoroot. No joy on either one. Well, like I said, kingoroot said that I had root, but root checker didn't agree and I couldn't recover from samsung_unlock_n4-fix.

I know exactly where you are coming from. I have been on 5.1.1 running PaulPizz since the bootloader unlock. But lately I have been wanting to upgrade to 7 but since this is my daily driver, I don't want to screw my phone up. So I will also be watching this in hopes of a smooth install.

So no matter what I do or which roms I install, neither the fingerprint scanner or proximity sensors work on the N910V. I've been rooting all my phones for years and have never had issues like this. Searched google and didn't come up with any solutions other than clear cache, reset, pound on the button, fry it with a heat gun.... etc. Both sensors worked before unlock/root. I could even manage without the fingerprint scanner, but the proximity sensor is kind of essential so you don't keep hanging up on people, or somehow manage to press just the right combination of buttons with the side of your face to factory reset mid phone call. Also, there seems to be terrible lag with just about every rom I've tried. Even after freshly reset sometimes there's up to a 4 second delay simply typing on the keyboard. Are any of these things known issues? I doubt I can be the only one experiencing these issues, but as I said so far google has been of no help. I even bought a second Note 4 to root thinking maybe the sensors were bad since I did get it used. This is my first post I've ever felt the need to make regarding rooting any of my phones as I always try to figure it out on my own first... but I'm lost. Appreciate everything you guys do. Please point me in the right direction if you could.

I saw in the OP'S instructions that the WIFI will not work (temporarily) when doing this method and the OP suggest using your phones data plan (if needed) during the process. My question thus is do I HAVE to have a data plan on my phone to use this method. I was given a N4 as a gift and will not be using it on a network (thus no data plan) so will I not be able to use this method to unlock my bootloader and root my phone ?

TLDR: Is a data plan or wifi REQUIRED to unlock the bootloader and/or root this phone ?

No he actually does not ;) the note 4 isnt sim locked. He could borrow any us sim , input apn data root . I know this requires a data plan but the question was does his particular note 4 have to. None of the apn stuff requires root . not that your answer was in anyway wrong i was just trying to help. My note 4 is on cricket wireless but when i got it i ended up borrowing a buddies att sim for upgrade . Wasnt until my g4 decided one day it wasnt going to work ever again that i swapped service to the note 4 . You could do the same thing with note3 ....which has an eerily similiar bootloader unlock process hehe. Note 4 is really just an optimized note 3 minus that weird usb 3 charging port samsung decided to discontinue after just that one model

Okay I followed Easy Guide for How to Root Verizon Galaxy Note 4 and was able to successfully root my phone. It still has 5.1.1 (with oscar_kernel_v0.2) on it and I would like to upgrade to 6.0.1 Marshmallow and keep root, but I have few questions first.

1.) According to the rooting guide I linked to above, the firmware I installed was a SystemOnly firmware which does not include a Bootloader so will this guide work for me in this case or am I stuck on the firmware I have now?

2.) If this is the correct guide for me then what steps should I do differently since I am already rooted on the 5.11 firmware (with oscar_kernel_v0.2) ?

Ok stupid question,

On my note 4, I am running Lineage os . It was suggested after I unlocked my phone to update the modem file. Isn't that done with the note 4 install by overwriting the above stock room modem ?

Currently after this, and installing rr, wiping and installing an older Lineageos that hasn't been updated since Feb,. I am running

[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] mojoswagger1980:
Ummm i think i want to call my husband ....jk. the partial update is not just modem its also hlos and firmware and it is done with odin . Make sure you uncheck reboot after flash and make sure you power all the way down after flash or you didnt flash . It is also advisable to do a clean install just so everything is optimized. For some reason problems can persist with what isnt technically a dirty flash because odin cant dirty flash but is close enough that id do it just to be on the safe side. If you have no data problenms on lineage.....if it aint broke dont fix it applies. Warning !!!that is the last known build that both cameras worked on if that matters to you stay put . Snapcam worked on RR 5.8.2 but not camera2 . I dont think the fingerprint scanner ever worked.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] tripLr:
OK, I fiddled with settings in wireless,

Gave up, flashed the newest lineageos minimal with pico

And still have 3 g only. I am running a Straight Talk Sim which had 4 g on the 5.1.1 rootable build.

When I rooted and upgraded, it had that modem.

I flashed the modem with odin and haven't had 4 g since

I might try to put my Verizon sim in and see of it boots with 4 g.

Is there an .ini for the modem file I can look at?

Update

I put my Verizon Sim in and it booted to 4g immediately. Something got wiped.

Next. Trying a new sim from Straight talk.

Sim is only 9.99 and so is T-Mobile so I have a few options

Yeah i think the camera stopped working in March and im 99% sure it has somthing to do with the commits changing from cyanogen to lineage . Lineage 7.1.1 was the fork point so everything would have been identical at that point . the farther we go from that point is when we started losing functionality first it was one of the cams then the other and so forth . Cant help but wonder if going forward will continue this trend
