I am trying to root the Note 4 TMobile

Build Number MMB29M.N910TUVS2EPG2 - android 6.0.1

Using the Odin flash method, I can flash it confirms it PASS (green in Odin) but getting these problems:

1.When trying to boot recovery is still the factory

2. Cannot flash anything Super SU (when boot to recovery) get error verifying signature.

I am getting mixed reports, and all information I can find relates to android 5.1.1 not to 6.0.1.

Please help!

Thanks

Good luck. I just like the way safe strap works as a recovery option. I just got the note 4 with mm already installed, so still kinda new to this phone.

---------- Post added at 02:44 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:42 PM ----------

To get safestrap to work, I had to pull the batteryou before the phone restarted, but everything else I followed per the OP.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] dlongnasty:
I got it to work but had to use system less kernel. I want to use system mode but the kernel wouldn't boot. Anyone else had this issue?
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] ryantek:
So what you are saying is that you got root using the method above? the trick is to pull the battery?

Will test and report.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] dlongnasty:
Yeah I pulled the battery. But like I said it wouldn't boot using system kernel. It got stuck at the note 4 screen. So I'm system less but I don't wanna be
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] ryantek:
I see, So which Kernel (that is safe should I use?

Do not really care if Knox is tripped, just need better performance than what I am getting now on this phone.

I am getting screen freezes, and touch pad (screen touch) slowness. I have read that with a new ROM (less bloated) I should be fine.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] dlongnasty:
Use the systemless
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] ryantek:
Hello Everyone

I am glad to report that pulling the battery and booting the system to recovery did the trick, I am just backing up the Main ROM (stock) that I got.

Just in case flashing goes wrong. Many Thanks to all member here, This is an amazing community.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] ryantek:
Now a new problem,Tried to install SuperSU 2.76 for the note 4 TMO from recovery the phone does not boot, it stays at the Blue LED.

End up, restoring the backup, that is the only way I can boo the phone. I am new to this system-less type of rooting,last time I played with recovery was with the OnePLus, I can see a couple things have change.

What I am doing wrong? Can I flash a New ROM from there? with the factory kernel?
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] Ghost9658:
I am having the same issue except with mine flashing supersu systemless via twrp does nothing. I rebooted after flashing checked my apps and supersu was no where to be found. Am I suppose to do anything after flashing it?
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] dlongnasty:
You must download the app from the play store after you flash the zip.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] Ghost9658:
I just did that after reflashing the zip. I downloaded and opened supersu and it said root could not be found. I must be doing something wrong, But I can't figure it out. Anymore help would be awesome.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] Ghost9658:
I want to thank everyone that tried to help me with the systemless route. I couldn't get the systemless route to work, But seeing that I never use Samsung pay or Android pay which ever it is I took a different path. I said forget systemless and went "BeastMode" on my device. With this route I now have root access and my phone is incredibly fast on boot up. I would like to give a big THANK YOU to freeza for the amazing work. Where ever you are freeza here is a big HIGH FIVE for you. And one last thank you, Thank you xda for always being here for us android users. I've been using xda since I got my first Android device. Keep up the amazing work.

I flashed stock 5.0.1 and upgraded the os to uvs2epg2 but i cant flash twrp via odin. i get no error in odin either it says pass! on flashing the recovery. when i boot into recovery it just boots into stock recovery. trying to install root on it.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] Kil4Thril:
You can't allow the phone to fully boot after flashing root. You must go into twrp and flash super user or it will reset itself
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] D200P13:
ah gotcha. so i suppose that in odin removing the reboot checkmark before flashing twrp so that way after it passes odin flash, i pull the battery, insert the battery, press and hold vol up + home + power so it boots to recovery. nice! thank you all!!!

I just rooted and install SuperSU 2.76...everything seems to behave properly, though I've notice a message that appears at the top of the screen every time I reboot the phone... "Set Warranty Bit: Kernel".

is this something I should be concerned about? does anyone know how to make this go away?

thanks,
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] lazarus0000:
No, that's a little note to remind you whether your kernel is SELinux enforcing or not. A stock kernel is SELinux enforcing. A kernel like BeastMode is not. Non-enforcing kernel allows for options like V4A, FauxSound, etc... ie - kernel level modifications to the OS. AFAIK, you can't make it go away. It's just a status report on boot up.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] mar$hall:
Yes this is it. I did it on pe3 and on pg2 both 6.0.1 ota updates.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] cory733:
Had to turn off auto reboot in odin and pull the battery and manually boot into twrp, allow modifications, and now it works fine. Just thought i'd share.

before this, trying to boot into recovery just loaded the stock recovery.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] MadTechnique:
I currently have a rooted 5.1.1 I want to have a stock rooted 6.0.1 rom, do I unbrick the phone or can I get what I want through my rooted 5.1.1? Please help
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] morgej:
All, this advice was critical for me...uncheck the auto-reboot option in ODIN, flash TWRP via ODIN, when flash is complete, pull the battery, start with vol-up + home button + power button pressed to launch into TWRP, allow modifications, flash SU.

Thanks.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] mgbotoe:
I am thinking about grabbing the Note 4 again after the Note 7 fiasco (still crying inside), and I see that N910TUVU2EPJ2 is released for Tmobile. Have you successfully rooted that firmware yet [MENTION=2996598]DeeXii[/MENTION],?
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] DeeXii:
I am actually downloading the tar right now. Will be uping it to AFH and I'm root will not be difficult its not blocked etc.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] hisself:
What do you mean "allow modifications" in TWRP? I am stuck at the blue led.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] morgej:
After you flash twrp, you need to reboot into recovery, and twrp will prompt you to allow modifications....you need to enter recovery with volume up + Power button
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] hisself:
I get no prompts from TWRP.3.0.2-0
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] morgej:
Try flashing again...in Odin don't select to reboot...after the flash is complete, pull the battery,then put battery in and start with volume up + Power button
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] hisself:
Next silly question: Which do I flash first? SuperSU or Beastmode?
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] jd420724:
[MENTION=2996598]DeeXii[/MENTION] thanks for this, so i guess EPG2 kernal should still work right? like RAMkernel ?
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] rez4life:
Thank you SO MUCH, looked all over the net and xda, best root method by far for Note 4. Thank you again
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] odj1041:
Anyone attempted this on EPJ2?
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] gnash.s:
Just updated my Tmobile US Note4 from PopRocks (5.0.1) to EPJ2 couple of days ago. Rooted with the instructions from this thread and everything seems to be working fine.

I tried both SystemLess & SystemMode roots and they both work. I finally went with the SystemMode and installed Xposed as well. No issues so far.

Biggest gain is the speed and all the goodies from the Samsung's Good Lock UI.

Gear S2 3G and Gear VR works properly too.

Cheers!
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] lazarus0000:
Aha!

Just what I wanted to hear!

So, it's able to be rooted via the methods described here in the thread and there's an actual update? What sort of goodies do you mean when you say Good Lock UI? And, if you don't mind, what the date on the security patch?
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] gnash.s:
Check out the attached screenshots.

Yes, was able to root easily.

Odin flash EPJ2 Rom (downloaded from another thread from Android file host)

Odin flash twrp 3.0.2.0

Install SuperSU zip in twrp

Install xposed zip.

That's it.

battery life on EPJ2+beastmod kernel ?

hi,

i am itchy to upgrade too as i am still in KK with firekat. how is your battery life on EPJ2+beastmod kernel ?

anybody else on EPJ2+stock kernel : can you please show me your battery life ?

many thanks in advance !
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] imnoisyboy:
this works on PJ2 ?
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] lazarus0000:
Earlier reports are that it does, yes. I haven't tried it yet due to it not having anything compelling other than the new security update - which doesn't cover some of the more recent threats. Plus my phone is set up exactly the way I want & don't want to have to go through that again!
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] gnash.s:
I'm getting similar or better battery life than the Poprocks rom (5.0.1). I just got 28 hours total time, 4 hours SOT, with Bluetooth on, connected to gear 2 3g the whole time.

This is on my 3 year old battery that came with the phone. I'll test with the new one and post screenshot. I didn't want to reinstall all my apps, so I Odin installed the new Rom and restore the entire data from my TWRP backup. Clean install should be even better.

I guess, the App power saving feature is working.

Cheers!
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] lnx64:
I have EPJ2, and for some reason, when flashing Odin, nothing happens. The phone reboots, says the device status is "Custom", when when I boot into recovery, it's just the regular phone recovery?

I read reports this is working for EPJ2, but it's not working.

Before I did this, the device status was Official, in both the phones settings, and on the Download screen, now it's Custom on both, yet I have no TWRP. When I run the recovery mode, it says "Installing system update..." then "No command", then dumps me back to the regular recovery screen.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] sloanster:
Sounds you flashed a custom kernel

You can install the latest twrp with Odin, but leave auto reboot unchecked!

After the Odin install make sure it's finished then pull the battery, presto-chango, custom recovery!
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] rajil.s:
I am unable to root my N910T. I installed EPJ2 stock rom followed by TWRP. In TWRP installed 'System mode root' and rebooted. The device is now stuck at first boot screen 'Samasung Galaxy Note 4'. Do i need a custom kernel as well? And at what stage do i need to install it?
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] dlongnasty:
Did you make sure you are on the newest firmware b4 trying to flash a rom made for it?
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] rajil.s:
I was on rooted stock PE3 before and upgraded to stock PJ2.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] dlongnasty:
Should be epg2 at least that's what I'm on. Maybe try re flashing and do a full wipe again. Make sure you are on the right bootloader. Like I said mine is epg2 but I'm also on the 910t3
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] rajil.s:
I did a full wipe before installing epg2. Are you on system root or systemless? I need system root for Titanium backup. I am not sure if i need custom kernel too.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] dlongnasty:
I'm on system root running custom kernel. I have moved on from this stock rom but it works fine as long as the prerequisites are met and you follow the instructions. If you are still stuck tomorrow I will go through it with you in more detail but I gotta get to bed for work. Sorry hope you get it
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] rajil.s:
Once i used the beast kernel, the device booted up correctly.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] thomast1777:
I am unable to get TWRP to load. I flashed TWRP 3.0.2.0 multiple times using Odin3 3.10.7.

I unchecked the option for auto reboot and pulled the battery. Holding Vol up and power causes it to load to the OS. It never loads to TWRP. I tried booting to recovery mode by pressing Vol up, home, and power at the same time, but the Android recovery console pops up.

Any idea what I am doing wrong?
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] ubigred:
Try 3.12
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] gcihlar:
I haven't updated my phone since updating everything to lollipop and am a bit nervous about bricking it. i have a 910t and I'm on 5.1.1 with tekhd rom with dok2 baseband and rooted. I want to update to mm and like to flash aurora rom. I'm by far no expert with updating basebands,flashing roms I can handle. Would someone be kind enough to help me remember how to do this procedure again? I've looked at the links under general q@a and just dont feel 100 percent confident attempting to do this for the first time in a year or so. Thank you so much for any help.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] dR03:
Need to disable "reactivation lock" in system settings and then try ODIN to flash TWRP
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] babbtong:
I have the same issue as thomast1777, and i don't have the reactivation lock enabled
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] HappyBallz:
Refer to here:

https://xdaforums.com/note-4-tmobile/general/n910tuvs2epk2-rooted-t3545004

For whatever reason my phone had the same issue... when I ODIN the TWRP recover and let it boot into OS the TWRP recovery would be gone if I try to load into it upon next restart.

So I had to disable auto restart in ODIN and literally unplug battery after it was complete, then you MUST load into boot-recovery (volume up + home + power buttons) and then it brought up the TWRP menu. Be advised this will trip knox, if you care about that.

[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] zigzagzz71:
When rooting N910T does is matter which version of Odin to use? Also should I use supersu 2.86 I believe to be latest? Thanks

---------- Post added at 08:37 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:44 PM ----------

After rooting all seems well but if the phone is not touched for an hour it goes into a deep hibernation and either do a battery pull or hold power and volume down for 15 seconds to reboot.....any thoughts how to fix this???
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] slamming_sammy1:
HI, could you elaborate on what you mean by 'systemless' vs 'systemmode' ? I just don't know which to pick.

also, do I need to be concerned about what version of bootloader and modem I'm on?

My device is fully stock and updated to the latest MM

thanks!
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] bugman72:
So, before I decide to chuck this phone in the trash due to T-Mobile's March update which is causing constant reboots, running hot and sluggish response/locking up, can someone tell me if I will be able to root and load/reload a ROM? As I mentioned, the phone is a T-Mobile 910T, but is carrier unlocked (currently on AT&T). Here's where it sits...

- Android Version: 6.0.1

- Security Patch Level: January 1, 2017

- Baseband Version: N910TUVS2EQB1

- Kernel: 3.10.40-9385989 dpi@SWDD6817 #1 Tues February 7. 13:40:18 KST 2017

- Build Number: MMB29M, N910TUVS2EQB1

The phone ran perfectly right up until the March security update from T-Mobile. Ever since then I can't keep the thing up and running consistently. It rebooted 6 times within a one hour period while sitting on my desk with the charger cord connected.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] lazarus0000:
Hot should be able to downgrade using the info & download from the OP. I'm on the Nov patch & all (reasonably) good.

I suspect you have a RAM issue - these phones have 3 GB of RAM and with the "standard" being at least 4 nowadays, I think they're no longer able to handle the load.

I suffer pretty constant freezes and other issues - so much so that I always reboot and go to developer options and limit background processes and kill apps when done. That was the fix for the longest time but even that isn't doing it anymore.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] bugman72:
The phone worked flawlessly right up until the March security patch. I never had lockups or freezing before. That's what makes me so angry. Battery usage has gone to crap as well after the patch. Bought two brand new batteries about a month prior and could go 1+ day on a charge. Now, I'm lucky if I can get home from work before having to swap batteries or put it on the charger.

May have to give this a try. Tired of not knowing if my phone is going to be working when I need it.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] CpaoV:
first of all, remember YOU HAVE A NOTE EDGE, as far as I know it's different software, you have to look for that variant's recovery and ROMs, be thankful it didn't brick or something.

Go search for Note Edge files instead of trying to flash the regular Note 4 software
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] dmw_4814:
No; if you re-read my post more carefully, you'll see I HAD a Note Edge, and now have a Note 4. Anyway, I figured out the problem - I was mistakenly flashing kernels for the Edge, instead of for the Note 4, like I should've been doing all along, and that's what was screwing everything up! I've got everything straightened out, though, and I'm actually sitting in front of my PC right now, setting up my Note 4 (I got this straightened out a day or two after my post in this thread, but since I drive a tractor-trailer for a living and am gone from home for weeks at a time, I didn't want to download all my apps over my cell connection, and burn up my data - I just got home last night, for a few days).

Thanks, anyway.

The problems with trying to flash via ODIN were, apparently, caused by cables. When I tried a different USB cable, it worked fine.

Thanks, anyway.

After flashing PE3.tar and rooting, xposed, barebones debloat, and beast mode kernel I couldn't receive any calls over WiFi 4glte or 4g. I would only get calls on GSM 2g.

I can't pinpoint what caused the problem because I did it all so fast. But other than that this phone is still a force to be reckoned with. Fast smooth and well unfortunately call less. ?

---------- Post added at 08:01 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:58 PM ----------

really dumb question; what version should I download for twrp, .img or .img tar?
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] napajs13:
I can't get twrp work. I just get an error and it goes to oem recovery. I am on a T3 stock MM. Any ideas?
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] DeeXii:
Define "IT"...

Are you trying to flash TWRP or SuperSu?

What do you mean "barebones debloat"? You mean you debloated? If that is the case you must have broken something.

I am using stock + SuperSu + Xposed + BeastMode r56.7 and my WiFi calling, VoLTE, 4G, all work.

Use the tar; I have updated the OP to an AFH hosted tar file for TWRP.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] DeeXii:
What is the error? Try booting into TWRP immediately after booting.

I only say that because each time I have flashed this I have been flashing SuperSu immediately after flashing TWRP and not once have I ran into your problem.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] napajs13:
It says installing system, then no command and goes back to stock recovery. Kinda strange. My phone has been rooted from the moment I had it and never had issues loading twrp...
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] DeeXii:
Well I wont say anything about it being for the S5 but I will say something about it being for "TW 5.0.x ROMs" as it says in the title.

There are a lot of differences in MM compared to LP. I cant imagine it would be good to run this. I'm 95% sure this is your problem.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] DeeXii:
Try this...

-Flash TWRP with Odin.

-As soon as its reboots after the Odin flash go into recovery. (watch the progress bar on the phone)

-TWRP will ask If you you want to make changes to the "System" Choose yes and make sure you uncheck "ask every time"

-While you are in TWRP flash the SuperSu from this thread.

-Report back
