urgent help needed ... it will be greatly appreciated

well first I would like to mention that I bought sm-910v from ebay .. it was unlocked one with 5.0.1 and I brought it to Pakistan

now ... while installing cm13 i am stuck at step no 35 ...

after 5.1.1 , I simply cant connect wifi or mobile network .. so i am not able to root it again ..

usb tethering also fails with error message

hecking subscrption data

connection not available

seems like i need verizon sim to resolve this which I dont have ..

how should I get it fixed ...

any urgent help will be greatly appreciated
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] JacekRing:
So your issue is you can't get kingroot on the phone, am I right?

Format your SIM card, plug sim card into computer, copy kingroot onto sim card, put sim card in phone...install kingroot

And FYI: WiFi will not work with the CPD1 firmware, the Verzion wifi chip is not compatable with that firmware. But that firmware was a required step. But as I said, you can still get files onto the phone via your SIM card. And I have NO idea why your USB would not connect. I'll add a note to the guide that the WiFi won't work on that firmware.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] funkymonk5:
thanks for your reply ...

ok now the thing is ... i can install kingroot ... however kingroot needs internet access to do the root ... that is not available either via usb, wifi or mobile network ... i tired rooting using chainfire and su method too .. but those failed ...

how do I use kingroot without internet ? or do root under these circumstances ?

is there anyway to install 5.0.1 back via odin now as bootloader is locked now again ?

thanks again
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] JacekRing:
You can try http://d.kingoapp.com/website/KingoRoot.apk, not sure if it needs internet....similar to KingRoot

As to going back to 5.0.1, you can flash the N910VVRU2BPA1 Full Firmware again via Odin
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] JacekRing:
Just another thought, did you try to change your APN settings on the phone? The default ones are Verizon APN settings, which won't work in Pakistan (I think you said). You'll have to add the APN of your data carrier for your sim to work. Try doing that.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] funkymonk5:
yes i did that ...

i just switched to another local sim on different network ... strangely its internet is working so hopefully i will be able to root it using kingroot ... fingers crossed :p

thanks a lot :)

snapchat

snapchat won't let me login after rooting the device using this method, what can i do?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] JacekRing:
Have you tried going into Developer Options and disabling root? If that doesn't work, try to grab a Root Cloak through XPosed. (get Xposed Modules from playstore to more easily find xposed modules)

Edit: After disabling root you may need to reinstall snapchat for it to no longer know you are on a rooted device.

Edit 2: "Xposed Modules" is an actual playstore app....
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] JacekRing:
Also a quick google search: http://xdaforums.com/xposed/snapchat-rooted-phones-xposed-t3283198
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] keviinese:
im in developer options and i dont see an option to disable root, sorry im really new to this
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] JacekRing:
9th option down, called "Root access", options are "Disabled, Apps only, ADB only, Apps and ADB"
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] funkymonk5:
well ... after fixing net ... root still failed

king root keeps failing ... asking me to use windows method .. tried that but it didnt help

kingoroot gets stuck at 40% ...

i guess i have to revert back to older version ..

or is there anything u can suggest ? thanks
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] JacekRing:
When I was doing my phone the first time KingRoot failed like 20 times before it worked. It's a highly unstable temporary root method. If you keep trying it will work eventually. Be patient.

Or give up flash via Odin the bpa1 file and go back to stock 5.0.1 it's your choice
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] JacekRing:
Well it's 2 am here so I'm going to sleep good luck
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] keviinese:
i should probably google things from now on haha, it worked, thank you so much.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] pfcland:
Well came back to say after a few hours it some how lost root access only reason I know is because when I checked root checker it says no root so I went and checked in developer options on root access and the only option available is ADB. It used to say apps and adb but not only have one option . Google some things and found out to look in system file and look for system presistant.sys.root_access = and change it to 3 but it is set at 0 ....

So any suggestions of what I should do ?

Also I still have access to twrp just lost root somehow
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] JacekRing:
I have not idea, never encountered this issue or even heard about it. You should ask on the CM 13.0 forum. Specifically in my guide under mission statement goto the last link.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] JacekRing:
Hi pfcland, I was thinking and if you can't fix it any other way doing steps 43 on will most likely restore root for you. At least you won't have to use KingRoot, it's just a Jasmine Restore and flash a couple times. But still have no idea how you lost root.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] pfcland:
OK I will try that when I get home in the morning from work .
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] JacekRing:
I've thought of another quicker way that might work, using adb to pull the permissions file and manually setting root and pushing it back on. Since you said you can give root v to adb. Will test on my phone in an hour and if it works will let you know.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] JacekRing:
Ok quick and easy....I've tested it and it work on my phone. So open up the command prompt (windowskey + R) navicate to the directory you have ADB.exe

Your phone must be on, plugged in and the screen active. Ie no black screen. In dev options set root access to ADB (you said you still can)

Now type:

adb shell setprop perist.sys.root_access 3

The ' 3 ' will set it to "Apps & ADB" (if you want just 'apps' then set it to ' 1 ')

To see the change, back out of developer options and open it again, this will refresh the screen. See what is says under Root Access Now

edit: even if it still doesn't show up right. Use a root checker to see if you have root. Settings should stay if you reboot......should.....

edit 2: on the command prompt it will NOT show you any kind of result if it succeeds. Ie it will just execute and give you the prompt again with no messages.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] dpoverlord:
I have a new factory refurbished note 4. If I root the phone can I revert back in case I have any issues?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] JacekRing:
If it's factory refurbished it's not new :silly::silly::silly:

But yes, you should be able to re-flash the backup you make before you start to get back to stock.

Or you can do a System/Data/Cache/Davlik wipe via TWRP, and flash the first ROM (BPA1), then upgrade back to 6.0.1 from there. BPA1 is 5.0.1 android stock flash.

Edit: Your warranty will still be void due to kernel being changed earlier. Phone will NOT forget your tried to root.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] dpoverlord:
AH.....

So it may be better after being on this note 4 for 1 year and I plan to sell it and go for the new Note to not do anything. At this point it seems a lot of people have had issues and an equal number have not. With the way I use this phone I really work it to the ground.

I appreciate your help, I cant afford to get stuck with the phone not being returnable if something breaks since my warranty ends in 60 days. When its expired, I will go that route 100%
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] pfcland:
Alright I will try that when I get home if not try the other thing youbsuggested
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] jcleav:
tried these steps twice, and both times I get a boot loop after step 25

i've tried pulling the sd card and doing another data/cache wipe, but nothing works.

only way i can get the phone back on is to odin stock again

help!
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] pfcland:
That's because it created a partion on your SD card just pull your sd card out and boot it up and it will work , then format your sd card on the PC or put it in a tablet and format it that way
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] pfcland:
Well that did not work so i went back and did what you said about doing Step 43 and beyond and it worked . So what I am gonna do is make a back up of it and just TWRP if it does it again and periodically do it.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] JacekRing:
As I said before, strange issue. Never heard of anyone losing root access like you did before. I'm guessing some app you installed overwrote an essential system process? I can't explain it any other way.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] jcleav:
so I was able to successfully go from 5/25 (and stock 5.1.1) to the 7/24 build of CM13 in wayyyy fewer steps. I just used Odin to flash the hybrid firmware, loaded the zips for CM and Gapps on my phone, rooted using kingoroot pc app, performed the adb commands to unlock the bootloader, flashed twrp via Odin, then removed SD card, booted to twrp, and then flashed the zips for cm and gapps....bam, running fine.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] Rojikku:
Okay, so I did all this- and it seemed to work fine, but when I went to install Xpossed I got an issue where it would sit and boot up for a bit, then the screen would go black and it would vibrate once, and then it would be "bricked". Basically wouldn't respond. I pull the battery and it works fine- except if I try to boot it the same thing happens. I can get to recovery and download mode, though.

I thought it was because low battery or something. I wiped system, data, cache, davlik, and reinstalled CM and Gapps, and it worked fine. I tried to enable encryption, and the same thing happened.

So I thought encryption just borked the phone. However, I did a factory reset, set everything how I wanted it, rebooted to TWRP, made a backup, went to boot- SAME THING HAPPENED.

So it's apparent that any attempt to reboot will result in this, not whatever I was doing. Any solution to "I can't reboot without the phone being borked"? Because that's a serious issue. It's like being tethered- which is fine for an iPod, but not for your personal phone.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] JacekRing:
If you clear system and data you have to restart at step 43, there are some drivers that CM13 needs from the Jasmine Rom and Partial Fix files.

Edit: Without those drivers you can get weird functionality. Such as not able to make calls due to bad modem drivers. Not able to enter security in settings due to bad driver. Ect.

Edit 2: I have no idea why installing Xposed' would do that if you followed instructions. If redoing jasmine and Partial Fix doesn't resolve your issue please ask on hsbadr CM 13.0 thread. Under my instructions, under contributor's there's a link to his thread. I only wrote instructions how to get it installed any issues with the actual rom they'd be better equipped to answer.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] Rojikku:
Okay, thank you, I'll redo that bit.

I don't know if you'll see this since I edited it instead of double posting. I really should've just said nothing instead of saying thank you, since I'm pretty sure you're not supposed to do that, but I wasn't thinking.

But I was doing the PartialFirmware patch via odin, and it failed because "There is no PIT partition"?

I'm unsure what that means. I'm going to try redownloading the patch to see if that changes anything, but if you have a better idea, it would be appreciated.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] Rojikku:
Sorry to double post now, but it's still saying there is no PIT partition, and a google search gives me a guess that this has something to do with the version of odin being too new, but I have Odin3 v3.12.3- which seems to be the same you had at the time of writing.

Honestly, the first time through, my OS crashed when I was writing the "pateched" the first time, and it was just failing from then on- but the phone booted, so I assumed the first write was okay and forgot about it. This could be the core of my entire issue...

So I can't get past step 51?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] JacekRing:
You sure you didn't have re-partition checked in Odin when you flashed? At any point during this process? You should never re-partition...

Edit and you odin 3.12.3 should work fine it's when I used on my phone and several other people have used it successfully as well. So it's not the version of odin you used.

Edit 2 also try using a different USB cable, could be a faulty USB cable. Also plug the USB cable directly into computer not a hub, as that could also be an issue.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] Rojikku:
I don't believe so. I never checked the box, and the box has never been checked by default the times I looked. I just did the wipe in 47, and restored from the jasmine ROM- then went to flash. I just switched over to options, and Re-Partition is not checked. So I don't believe that is the issue. Is there some way I can test for it?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] JacekRing:
I edited my last post twice try a different USB cord.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] JacekRing:
If you still can't get it, I don't know what else to tell you. I'm no expert, I only assembled 4 different guides into one cohesive guide. Try posting your question in http://xdaforums.com/note-4-verizon/development/cyanogenmod-t3253973. That's the main thread for Cyanogen Mod and that's the thread that instructs you to install Jasmine + PartialPatch before CM 13.0. Maybe someone on there will be better able to help you.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] Rojikku:
Considering the others flashed fine, I'll say it's not the USB cable. Therefore I'll go try the thread. I'll edit this if I get a solution, in case someone else runs into the same issue.

EDIT: Verizon software was installed by my phone, which autostarted. Thus, once my VM crashed, I forgot to close it again, and that somehow prevented it from reading the PIT. Closing the software, disabling it on startup, and running Odin as administrator fixed the issue with flashing the Pateched.

Edit2: This has not fixed my issue with not booting after a reboot.

Edit3; The issue was caused by a theme.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] NinjaChachi:
I'm currently on rooted 5.1.1 with TWRP installed after following a previous guide. What step should I start on/what should I do?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] jcleav:
if you're already on the hybrid firmware just flash cm and gapps in twrp... if not, you have to install that in Odin first. then repeat the steps that got you root and twrp the first time. then just boot to twrp and install the zip files for cm13 and then gapps
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] NinjaChachi:
Sounds dumb but which firmware is the hybrid firmware?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] NinjaChachi:
Okay so I followed all the steps and got to step 42. When I backup on TWRP and press reboot it goes to the Verizon screen and then goes into a boot loop. I have tried this with no SD card as supposed to and also with a fresh SD card to no avail. What should I do?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] Viper-Link:
Hey [MENTION=7616853]JacekRing[/MENTION] Hoping you can help me out again. So almost everything runs smooth in CM13 (thanks again btw) but I noticed my phone randomly restarts when playing Pokemon Go(I am GPS spoofing, although only for pokeballs and the pokestops are a block away :P), The phone gets hot sometimes and then just restarts but there are occasional times where it just reboots my phone and I've only been playing for maybe 2 minutes? So its not even hot(this one is kinda rare). Seems do this on Facebook as well. Ive uninstalled the Spoof Tweak as well and its still the same issue. Other then that everything runs perfect :D. I'm going to drive with some friends today to Santa Monica Pier to catch some Pokemon but I'm just hoping I can get this resolved before I have to constantly reboot every 1-2 minutes. I uninstalled the app and re-uninstalled it seems to have helped a little bit but, when i'm out an about and using the GPS my phone feels like its having Nuclear Meltdown, which was never a problem before.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] JacekRing:
Grab the kernel tweak I mentioned under the suggested apps. And turn down either the thermal throttling to a lower temp, or turn down the GHz of the CPU. CM13 basically sets it to max by default, so the phone is more snappy but games heat up a lot more then on stock.

As to the restarting I get the same thing with pokemon go buy usually spaced like an hour or two apart. Not sure why either, only app to do it to me. I spoof GPS with Xposed Pokemon, gives you an overlay that lets you move around while in the game. Also let's you set auto walk and pick a direction. I spoof myself into Manhattan central park, I live out in he sticks lol closest pokestop is like 4 miles away
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] jcleav:
it's the file in the download list that has bpa1, cpd1, and full firmware in the name. sorry it won't let me copy and paste the whole long file name from my phone, for some reason.

like you, I was having all these problems trying to unlock the bootloader three plus times, it's not as complicated as all that. good luck.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] Viper-Link:
[MENTION=7616853]JacekRing[/MENTION] Dang dude, the game is terrible for rural players >.> But today at the pier I did a bit of testing and my phone forcefully restarted a total of 17+ times in a span of 5 hours, phone didn't get hot this time so I know it wasn't that. What would you recommend I do? Considering flashing to stock MM as I missed plenty of pokemon while their ￼ also was forcefully rebooted in the camera app once and twice on Facebook.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] pfcland:
Google mobilisim use the pokomon go app they have on there
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] MrMeek:
Quick question i didnt see in the comments. I am on 5.1.1, sp could I just go to the step where I can flash the rom since my bootloader is unlocked and Im rooted?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] JacekRing:
If you are on 5.1.1 unlocked you can start with the Jasmine part.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] JacekRing:
Stock cam is broken on CM13, download any cam app from playstore and set as your default cam. This is a known issue with the CM mod.

You can also try reflagging Jasmine and use that see if it restarts on that mod. Jasmine is a fully working rooted mod as well. Buy it has more of the stock clutter and it's own interface style.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] Viper-Link:
Currently in the process of doing this, do I need to re-flash the Kernal or skip that step?

Also Steps 47-49 is not very clear

Go back to the main menu, Click the Wipe button. Click the 'Advanced Wipe' button, and wipe the following cache/dalvik/system/data

Go back to Restore (from 2 steps ago) and run the JasmineROM_v7.0_N910VVRU2CPF3 recovery, return to main menu afterwards

Go to wipe, and wipe the cache/dalvik only this time.

Did you mean Dalvik | ART cache or Dalvik | ART Cache & Cache? On both 47 and 49 they are very similar in that regard.

Edit: Apologies for all the questions, its been years since I last flashed roms/kernals on my phone, I think it was the Galaxy S 2 >_>
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] JacekRing:
No problem.

When I say while cache/davlik/system/data. I mean wipe cache, davlik/ART cache, system, data. So when I say cache I mean cache not davlik/ART cache.

And yes if you recover Jasmine you must flash the partial patch. It replaces some incompatible drivers so it runs on the note 4.

On the main guide under contributions is a link to the guide for installing jasmine.

Torrent Broken

So I now am on step 30... I Started downloading original file from host (still downloading super slow) and i started the torrent. I am, and have been, sitting at 99.9% downloaded in bittorrent. I did a little work and it says thats because the original uploader only uploaded a partial file... Is this the case?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] Viper-Link:
@ JacekRing All is well now since Ive been on Jasmine rom, thanks :)
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] JacekRing:
I don't think so, multiple people have downloaded but nobody bothers seeding. My PC is off I'll boot up in a few and share the torrent hopefully it will let you finish
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] pfcland:
I have uploaded over 26 GB and no i did not upload a partial
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] JacekRing:
I uploaded 12 gigs. It's a shame people don't feel the urge to seed to help others
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] dartechnologies:
Great thread and I am going to give it a try. Is there full spen functionality on this ROM, such as air command etc? Or a way to get full spen functionality on this ROM?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] JacekRing:
This is a stripped down clean OS it comes with none of the thrills. That's why you need to install Gapps (Google apps) package alongside it.

Air commands do not come with. Ask/search on the CM mod thread. I personally never used the air command so I never looked into it. (CM thread is listed under the guide in the mission statement).

On a side note, if you are looking for a more stock look check into Jasmine. On my guide once you recover into Jasmine and flash the partial fix you can stop and use Jasmine. It's also fully rooted and unlocked 6.0.1 interface, I just like the cleaner look of CM personally.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] dartechnologies:
So, with this method, I am able to flash other ROMs through TWRP? Is there a stock ROM for rooted devices?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] JacekRing:
Haven't looked into that too much either, lol I'm a CM lover. But I think the emotion rom is closest to stock. Search for emotion n910v to find it. To install it follow my guide until the recover Jasmine part and flash via twrp (bootloader) emotion rom instead of recovering Jasmine. Emotion should come with a fully functional kernel hence you won't need Jasmine to get it to work.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] mwebb34:
First off I bought a note 4 just hasn't arived yet,and it has MM installed on it. I'm wanting to downgrade so I can root and unlock. Do I download the CPF3_PartialFirmware and patched Kerneltar? Or the VZW2BPA1 TAR?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] JacekRing:
The vzw2bpa1 file is the stock 5.1.1 rom. Don't need root or bootloader cracked to install. Just use the stock download screen (power+home+vol down) to get into download menu and flash via Odin. Think it's step 7 after you do all the checks and a factory reset. Reset is highly recommended as without it settings and apps from MM might cause issues.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] mwebb34:
The device is on 6.0.1
