I confirmed, works with stock kernel. :o
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] DeeXii:
Nope
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] DeeXii:
Does not require a custom kernel.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] Bruce lee roy:
Try using a different USB cord; preferably the oem that came with the phone.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] Pinan:
Thank you kindly.

Question #2. If I then install a custom kernel (BeastMode r56.7) will I have full root, assuming this is only system-less?

Btw: If you add this info to the OP it would likely stop repetitive questions....like mine. Feeling newbish here. :silly:

Thank you much!

I am trying to flash TWRP .

Thanks
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] GCymbala:
Tried multiple times to get Secure Settings' SYSTEM+ working with just the SuperSU from the first post. Titanium worked fine, granted it root, no problem.

But some apps, like Secure Settings Pro didn't report root. For example, SYSTEM+ settings in Secure Settings Pro said root was not available. Another app also complained about missing root, but I don't remember which it was.

Finally downloaded http://download.clockworkmod.com/superuser/superuser.zip , booted into TWRP and installed that .zip and SYSTEM+ is back up and working.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] DeeXii:
Not sure I have flashed these on two different phones and not a single problem with root thus far.

Did you open SuperSu and see if there was a setting or if those apps were set to deny root?
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] DeeXii:
Post here your solution. :)
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] GCymbala:
Yeah, I did open it up. No listing for the apps, denied or granted.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] naa17:

Is this a 100% clean install? Like wiped first and then flashed MM?

I actually wipe System, Data, & Internal before new major versions.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] GCymbala:
This is coming from [ROM][5.1.1][DOK2]N5 Express 3.4D[Feb-21-16][N910T][N910W8][N910T3] by rmarinella

Already had TWRP.

Booted into TWRP. Wiped System, Data, Cache.

Rebooted into download mode.

Flashed N910TUVU2EPE3_N910TTMB2EPE3_N910TUVU2EPE3_HOME.tar.md5 via Odin 3.11.1

Phone Rebooted.

At this point, I think I took out the battery while it was booting to it form fully booting the new ROM, as I'd read might be helpful.

Went back into TWRP and installed BETA-SuperSU-v2.74-2-20160519174328.zip

Rebooted.

Tried several more times to install BETA-SuperSU-v2.74-2-20160519174328.zip, reboots, etc.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] DeeXii:
Updated OP with SystemMode Root. (Custom Permissive Kernel like BeastMode Required)

So now there is two root options.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] whizzy12:
I just installed the TWRP but unable to install any other zips. The TWRP doe snot ask for a password and is unable to mount encrypted data. Did anyone run into that problem?
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] dkb218:
Is there any information on SystemMode Root? I can't find a thread on it using mobile XDA.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] AaronCompNetSys:
I believe there is a similar problem with S7 MM ROMs.

TWRP cannot read Samsung's flavor of encryption. Look for more info over there, but here is the short list from my memory, may be incorrect.

To remove encryption:

1. Flash stock recovery, or the full stock rom if needed.

2. Do a full wipe/factory reset via stock recovery. Don't boot the phone into system afterward.

3. Boot into download mode and install TWRP, flash whatever zips you want.

4. Normal boot of system.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] DeeXii:
What information do you need?

Its a System Root. TBH there are only a few things that you would need that root. Ive been running systemless and there hasn't really been anything thus far that has caused me to flash System root. In the past certain things like Xposed etc wouldn't work with systemless but that has all changed.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] DeeXii:
Not sure if this is the same thing as I don't have encryption on my Note 4...

From what I hear there is no way to unencrypt in MM. On my T713 Tab S2 it came encrypted, thus TWRP wouldn't mount the DATA partition and the INTERNAL STORAGE.

The way this was resolved was to FORMAT those partitions (not wipe). This made those partitions unencrypted and thus made them accessible by TWRP. I do not think there is way for the TWRP to access encrypted partitions.

NOTE: This information is based on what I know from my Tab S2 in hopes it may be the same and will help someone. If I am wrong someone please correct me.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] Bruce lee roy:
Just received VIRUS warning from Odin file downloaded in OP.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] DeeXii:
There is no virus. Must be a false positive. Once you posted this I downloaded it again.

My Windows Defender also identified it as a virus.

So I did some digging. I used Winmerge to compare the Odin file that was alerting you (from the OP) to 4 other Odin 3.09 binaries that I randomly found online.

Each and everyone were 100% identical to the one in the OP.

The strange thing is that some of the other ones were not triggering the false positive. All of the other ones were in Zips; So Perhaps it being in a RAR cause some weird heuristic detection of Odin.

I will upload a zip of it instead.

Also it should be noted that this exact RAR of Odin 3.09 has been downloaded hundreds of times already.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] dkb218:
Does anyone know of a SD card fix for MM? I've tried the previous for LP and ran into a soft brick.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] napajs13:
Got it worked out. I must of had a bad PE3 download. Thanks for all the help!
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] DeeXii:
OP Updated with new SuperSu 2.76 Version.

It is recommended to be flashed ASAP.

Clear Dalvik and Cache also!
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] DeeXii:
Mine just allows writes to the SD card...

Strange.. What problems are you running into?
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] ArioK13:
Man wish it was that simple but im pretty sure they will F us up in some way, although i hope by not having the bootloader locked as they been good at not locking it. Bad enough we get updates centuries late, although with the release of 6.0.1 now for N910T, I'm assuming the note 6/7 what ever samsung will decide in naming it (sounds stupid to skip a number just to keep up with the other flagship smh) will be release real soon (I hope but rdy to be disappointed) will there be a Note 6/7 in early August dun dun dun...
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] DeeXii:
Who are you replying to? :P
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] ArioK13:
Hmm guess the previous comment was taken down, I was agreeing with the comment.. lol
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] ArioK13:
Oh forgot to mention, thanks for putting this root files and steps together & to chainfire, Teamwin and all those involved in rooting our phones, much appreciated, please keep up the good work, not to mention the applications we get to use. Kudos!
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] dkb218:
Maybe its me.... Has anyone flashed the newest SystemMode SU? Are you seeing a SU app in you app drawer? For some reason, I'm not seeing it but I am rooted.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] DeeXii:
I see SuperSu in my App drawer.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] Pinan:
I see it too. Did you by chance Hide it, say, in Nova?
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] dkb218:
I found the culprit.

Nope, wasn't hidden. I for some reason have zero room left on my system rom partition. That would explain a lot like why Viper drivers won't load. Not sure how this happened but time to purge.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] tatt2mike:
I had the same thing happen. I just installed SU from Google play and it re appeared. I had root and everything that needed root was working, just no icon to open up SU.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] Aethera:
Can SuperSU be installed without TWRP?

I tried installing SuperSU Systemless on stock T-Mobile PE3 using stock recovery. When I "Apply update from SD card" and try to apply it, it says "E: failed to verify whole-file signature" and "E: signature verification failed"

I don't want to install TWRP because I'm using Android Pay which does a security check and will not work if either the device is rooted or recovery is not stock. But I need to temporarily root the phone so that I can restore some apps via TitaniumBackup.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] nine5raptor:
Interesting. Mine showed right up.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] tatt2mike:
m

Seems to be pretty isolated event. Nobody else yet. Everything is working great though.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] nine5raptor:
When does it do the check? I just set up android pay and added a card which verified just fine. I haven't tried to use it yet though. I am rooted with system less root, twrp, and several root apps.

Also, could you just flash the stock recovery back after restoring if it is the issue?
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] DeeXii:
You could:

-Flash TWRP

-Root

-Do what you need to with Titanium etc.

-Unroot with the SuperSu App

-Flash Stock Recovery back.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] Aethera:
Now Using Maximum Overdrive 6.0.1!

Someone on the Maximum OvrDriVE 6.0.1 MM forum said that Android Pay is working with that ROM because it uses "systemless root" and I can verify that I was able to at least set up a card with Android Pay but have not had an opportunity yet to try to use it.

I found out that SuperSU also has an unroot option so if there are any problems I will try that.

If this does work then it will be amazing and the first time that I know of that Android Pay will be working with a custom ROM!

Here is the thread in the other forum about Android Pay.

Netflix stuck at loading screen

I upgraded to 6.0.1 yesterday (I was using stock 5.1.1 with stock recovery, stock kernel and systemless root before). I followed these links for all the instructions and files I used

http://xdaforums.com/note-4-tmobile/development/stock-n910t-n910tuvu2epe3-6-0-1-t3407018

http://xdaforums.com/note-4-tmobile/general/recovery-n910t-t3-marshmallow-pe3-guide-t3406870

http://xdaforums.com/note-4-tmobile/general/pe3-xposed-n910t-t3-marshmallow-t3406950

Here is a list of the steps I followed in the exact order:

Formatted external SD and copied all necessary files such as SuperSU, Beastmode kernel etc.

Flashed twrp-3.0.2-0-trltetmo.img.tar and rebooted to recovery

Wiped everything in my internal SD and also system, cache and dalvik cache

Rebooted to download mode and Odin flashed the stock 6.0.1 firmware (N910TUVU2EPE3_N910TTMB2EPE3_N910TUVU2EPE3_HOME.tar.md5)

Once the system rebooted and I was in the welcome screen, I powered the phone off and booted into download mode and flashed twrp-3.0.2-0-trltetmo.img.tar again

Rebooted to recovery and flashed BeastMode-Kernel-r56.7-MM-N910T-RAGE.zip

Rebooted to recovery and flashed UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.76-SYSTEMMODE.zip

Rebooted to system and setup device. Installed Xposed immediately from XposedInstaller_3.0_alpha4.apk

Rebooted to recovery and flashed xposed-v85.1-alt-sdk23-arm-custom-build-by-wanam-20160530.zip

Rebooted to system (took some time to boot) and started using my phone

I've had two problems so far. (Also Android Pay doesn't work due to the system mode root but that's not a problem for me)

1) Reactivation lock doesn't work

2) Netflix app won't go past the initial loading screen. I get this error if I wait - "Sorry, we could not reach the Netflix service. Please try again later. (-9)"

I understand all the hard work behind development but it would be extremely helpful if someone can help me find a solution for these. I would also like to know if anyone else has the same problems. Thanks for your time and effort.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] DeeXii:
1) 99% sure its because BeastMode is permissive (which is required for SYSTEMMODE Root). However it could be related to the root itself. Im not 100% sure as I do not use that feature.

Unfortunately its not that simple to uninstall a SYSTEMMODE Root. Its possible but just not as easy as SYSTEMLESS Root.

2) I have the same exact setup to the "T" and my NetFlix works fine for me.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] rsn7:
Thanks for answering. If it's not too much to ask, can you send me your netflix apk file? I would like to try that once before I contact netflix about this. Thanks again.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] DeeXii:
I just downloaded it from the Play Store just now.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] rsn7:
I'm downloading it from the play store as well. But it's not working. Would you recommend uninstalling it, clearing play services cache and reinstalling it?
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] DeeXii:
Are you doing this on the T-Mobile LTE network or on WiFi? Have you tried switching between different internet connections?
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] rsn7:
I tried doing it on both LTE and WiFi. Same outcome.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] DeeXii:
Delete the following file and reboot.

/system/vendor/lib/liboemcrypto.so
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] rsn7:
Worked like a charm. Thanks a lot. You have no idea how grateful I am!

edit: Netflix failed to detect my Chromecast. So checked using YouTube and that worked fine. So checked again using Google Cast app and that too failed to detect my Chromecast. So I uninstalled Netflix again and tried finding liboemcrpyto.so file to delete it. But the file wasn't created again. So just went ahead and rebooted the phone and the Chromecast and reinstalled Netflix. Checked using Google Cast first and it worked. Checked using YouTube next and that worked. Checked using Netflix and that worked too. Just wanted to mention everything in case someone else has the same problem. Once again thanks a lot [MENTION=2996598]DeeXii[/MENTION]
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] DeeXii:
Glad it works now.

Its strange that it happens to some and others it doesn't.

I did the same exact process you did and I did not have to delete that file.

Strange.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] rsn7:
I can't think of anything that would do this. We both live in Florida and I assume you use Cox as well? I did a perfectly clean install so there is no way older files caused the problem. I'm at a loss here man.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] rsn7:
Private mode and Snapchat

[MENTION=2996598]DeeXii[/MENTION]

1) Private mode doesn't work for me. I used a pattern lock to configure it and every time I try to use it I get the error "Failed to turn on Private mode. Try again". Is this a known issue like the Reactivation lock?

2) When I try to log in to snapchat it redirects me here after it runs 'Verifying device'. After a little research I found out from here that snapchat isn't very friendly with Xposed. So I am now planning to follow their instructions and the first step is the uninstall Xposed. I just wanted to make sure if I can use files from here to uninstall the Xposed version I have flashed in my phone? (xposed-v85.1-alt-sdk23-arm-custom-build-by-wanam-20160530.zip) If so, should I use v85 or v86? Thanks for your support. Also, this is where I found the uninstallation files from.

edit:

3)There is a new problem. Phone goes into bootloop when the battery level is lower than 30. It keeps doing it until a power source is connected and it stops after that. Is anyone else experiencing a similar problem?
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] papabear:
Forgive my ignorance, but I just received my replacement GN4. First time I ever lost a phone. Is root available for 6.0.1? Because, when I was restoring my GN4 today, I decided WTH and let the T-mo MM do it's thing. I know it's new. But, is it working the same was as prior? Or do I (can I?) have to restore/flash 5.1.1 root, and use what is stated in the OP? With the GN2/3/4 I have gone simple with rooted stock. But, getting rid of bloat and apps I do not use is easier with root.

TIA!
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] nine5raptor:
Yes, I am using Systemless and haven't found any issues with what I use (primarily TiBu, adaway, root explorer, and a few other apps). I'll post the link to instructions in a minute.

Edit....derp, this thread is the instructions. See DeeXii's excellent first post. Stay on 6.0.1, flash twrp, and flash Systemless or a kernel and system root.

Edit2: DeeXii, if I could double thank you, I would. Everyone else, make sure to hit the thanks button on his first post :)
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] DeeXii:
There is a way to fix Snapchat to work with Xposed. It involves logging in before you install Xposed and backing up Snapchat with Titanium, then installing Xposed.

Never done it yet but have a couple of friends that have and it seems its listed on a few posts. Will try it and post again.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] papabear:
Attempted to install twrp multiple times even different versions. Odin shows OK. But whenever I go to recovery boot 'no command' comes on the screen and I have to pull the battery.

This isn't my first time doing this.

It's pretty fn annoying.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] DeeXii:
Once you flash TWRP are you immediately trying to go into recovery or did you let it restart and boot into the system?

Flash TWRP via Odin in download mode and as soon as it reboots immediately go into recovery.

Also when TWRP asks if you want TWRP to make changes to the system say yes.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] Jhebi:
For some reason my phone doesn't install TWRP. I followed OP instructions, installed TWRP with ODIN, installation goes through phone (pass) reboots but than when I try to go to TWRP, I can't find it or it doesn't boot to TWRP so I can't root.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] papabear:
Will attempt later. Not near a pc on my lunch break. Thank you.

I'm not sure if this is a ROM issue, or if this is a TWRP issue...

Here's what I did:

Flashed official N910T3 odin file. Success, no issues, setup phone used it for half a day as is.

Flashed TWRP via ODIN, unchecked auto reset, pulled battery after flashing was done. Booted right into recovery using Vol -, Home, Power

TWRP is there OK.

Flashed the Beastmode Kernel

Flashed the SuperSU System Mode for use with the beastmode kernel.

Rebooted phone. Have root access, Settings -> About Phone shows Beastmode as kernel so it flashed OK.

I can reboot, and at any time power down, and boot into recovery just fine, so my TWRP is not being over written, or any other issues.

I goto flash Ovrdrive ROM and the install seems to go OK, but is WAY too fast for copying over 1.2GB. I get no TWRP errors during flash, says flash is successful.

Reboot, and it says there is no OS installed. I have re-downloaded the ROM multiple times, confirmed MD5 is good, etc etc.

As I say this is probably a ROM issue not TWRP but just wondering if anybody else is having this issue.

I have tried Mounting system & data prior to flashing to see if that made a difference. It does not.

I'm now in the process of recovering the stock ROM from my TWRP backup, in case that doesn't work I'll just ODIN the stock firmware back again.

I'm posting this in the Overdrive ROM thread as well.

Thanks for the help!

[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] vernj123:
Just got a replacement today. Turns out it was the battery not the phone as the phone will go into boot loop unless plugged in and it at it also happened with the new phone today. That being said I am going to wait until they give me new sim unlock code and perform that first before root and flash new rom. They gave me the code a few weeks back for the old phone but never did it. Called today and they said as soon as I make a phone call on the new phone (called from my old gs3) wait 72 hours and give them a call for the new code. Turns out I have to put in a different carriers sim to activate the code. (their instructions) I'm thinking I should wait to sim unlock first before anything root, flah rom etc What are your thoughts? Does it even matter? They replaced me with 910T from the 910T3 and just completed the MM update via OTA. in case anyone was wondering.

[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] nine5raptor:
You can flash Systemless root directly or if you want full system root, you will need to flash a permissive kernel. I flashed Systemless this time and have had no issues with the root apps I use.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] wilsonmd:
Ohhh Thats greeeeat! THANKS SO SO much my brother?i flashed a system less Super SU zip. File in this post and work FINNNE! and used without any inconvenient. I did make a back up of my stock 6.0.1 original firmware (like a class android 101, you know) and im ok for now... now, i will find the coctail of roms in 6.0.1 but, you know....its a lottery.

I followed the directions correctly now I'm stuck at the galaxy note 4 screen I'm on 6.0.1 tmobile note 4 I even flashed the stock.tar file odin... and still stuck at galaxy note 4 screen help me please
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] wilsonmd:
I did it perfect and have already tried three cooked roms, (with my original intact firmware in multiple folders for backup). I put the SU systemless first and customized kernel later and it worked very well for me. Every time you leave a virgin stock rom ALWAYS you have to verify ; Reactivation lock, developer mode and USB debbuging, remember to go and modify the system step by step:

* Super SU SYSTEMLESS first , wipe cache and dalvik, reboot and that all.

Whatever, go SamMobile.com and download the original firmware MM of your device, flash via Odin and again continue with the procedure step by step. Remember, if soft brick....don't worry, this is easy.

Failed to flash stock firmware i have the drivers updated.. crazy thing is i used cf auto root and rooted my sprint note 5.. then on the sprint note edge bootlooped would boot up also like this phone here thanks
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] wilsonmd:
Wich option you press in Odin? Check your cable and go to download mode and wait in your laptop to recognize your phablet. When you see a <<conected>> in Odin you can flash it. Check the firmware, you need to know your exactly Bootloader already in your phablet and flash the correct firmware. Sometime flashing with a X firmware and the phone is in Y firm.... fail flashing. Maybe you forget something, im sure because i did everythink as directed in the post and i did it!! And i did test a CM cooked roms also.....its amazing������
