I got to the run Kingroot step, and Kingroot says it gets root, but I can't get root in the adb shell. I've tried over and over and finally gave up. All the videos I watch, it just works the first time for them. I do the same thing, and it doesn't. Most of the time, by the time Kingroot does its thing, my phone has disconnected from my PC and the only way to get adb to connect to the phone is to unplug it and plug it back in. Sometimes it connects, sometimes it doesn't and I'm forced to reboot. No matter how it goes, the end result is always the same: no root when I enter su at the adb shell.

I even tried Kingoroot. Same results.

Does anyone know if there is a root service? Someone I can send my phone to and have them root it?

[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] snake2332:
Not necessarily, but you will need to know the working APN settings for your cellular network. I have a T-Mobile SIM in my N910V and just went through this entire process successfully (well I have a rapidly flashing CM logo right now, so it's close to done). I have some screenshots of T-Mobile APN settings that work, but this page should also give you the settings you need if you're T-Mobile or related (MetroPCS): https://support.t-mobile.com/docs/DOC-28888

And yep I did have to enter the APN stuff on that one ROM where WiFi is broken. Glad it worked.

Overall, really good instructions with just a couple minor steps left out (rename zip to apk, extract file from 7z/zip). One problem I have is with the microSD cards that the bootloader backed up to - if I insert this card into a Windows 10 PC, explorer freaks out and tries to open window after window, failling every time. It goes through the alphabet of drive letters trying to autoplay something on the card. I stuck it into a Windows 7 machine and it didn't detect the card at all - not in Device Manager, not in diskmgmt.msc, etc. I'll keep trying...

I did all steps everything went smooth, followed everything step by step. But now am stuck in step: 56. The boot taking forever, have taken the battery out multiple times after 5 mins, 10 mins and after few Hrs and still 24hrs later stay with the fast flashing blue face screen.

UPDATE: Got it to work!!!, Followed advice from falco5150 on comment #326 and worked quickly. The solution was instead of using (CM13 20160919) use (CM13 20160724). after that reinstalled Gapps and phone rebooted within 1 min.

Will Blutooth internet tethering work if you have no valid simcard?

I can connect to blutooth internet by tethering with another phone with Wi-Fi and data turned off on my note. Will this method work without a sim card for kingroot to have internet capability?

Thank you
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] tekweezle:
Probably not. The issue is that there seems to be a mismatch in the wifi drivers and that hacked firmware that allows root. I tried over wifi and it failed. It does work over mobile data though.

What you might be able to try is Get a cheap lte Sim from Freedompop. Your note can do GSM on band 4.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] Trinity2986:
I made it through *whew*. THANK YOU SO MUCH to the OP and other able to make this possible.

My question is: can I format my sd card or do I have to keep the folders in it? The folders are: Image, android_secure, android, and lost dir.

Also, is there any way that I can accidentally lose root? Like flash a ROM, firmware, or something? I don't want to do this again. It was ugly.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] tripLr:
You will want to format the sdcard.

Getting temp root to patch the bootloader and install twrp is the main goal.

What you don't want to do is load the complete stock ROM via Odin which will cause you to start over.

Once you have twrp installed backup your entire ROM including all the partitions, I use a USB sdcard adapter. Then save that .

Then I download and install a working ROM.

Which one are you going to try?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] Trinity2986:
Thanks!

I installed CM/Lineage 14. I really like it so far. I can't wait to play around with Xposed!
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] tripLr:
I am on the Android ice core project Ron . It's running 8.1 and is currently being developed by [MENTION=6847876]_mone[/MENTION] . Base code is lineageOS 15, but better development.

If your running the XDA app, click your device and aicp will show up.

It has a custom kernel as well. Not to bad.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] Trinity2986:
I'll definitely check it out!
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] Trinity2986:
I might try this out today or tomorrow. I've been having Bluetooth issues with my headphones. After maybe an hour of playing music via my wireless headphones, the phone will start playing music via it's speaker. Is that an issue addressed in AICP? Also it's frozen a few times.

For your 4gb micro SD card you’ll want a disk format tool (not windows) to repartition your sdcard. I recommend gparted.

i followed everything to a T b ut now im at the end and im stuck on a screen with a blue marshmellow face any idea on how to proceed ?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] DroidNoob0:
Everything was going fine. I had TWRP working. Then I was flashing the systemonly rom via Odin when the cable unplugged.

Now it will not boot into OS and I can't get Odin to flash anything to it. Not even stock rom.

It will boot into download mode but it gives a "Software Update Failed" message instead of green droid logo.

I have tried over and over and over to flash anything to it and Odin just hangs or fails.

Images

https://ibb.co/jM9VrLQ
https://ibb.co/Khmjdgp

My current idea is somehow I managed to re-lock my bootloader. But how do I unlock it if I can't get into the OS.

I hope I haven't bricked this thing.

edit1:

A --- Attempted 5.1.1 stock firmware flash via Odin 3.07 and it "freezes" around the 25% mark on system.img.ext4

I have removed the external SD card.

B --- Attempting to flash N910VVRU2BPA1_StockRestore.tar.md5 (5.1.1) and it hangs on boot.img

Got it to go further and again it hangs on system.img.ext4

C --- Attempting to flash (stock 5.1.1) with VZW pit file.

Hanging again on 25% system.img.ext4... (gonna wait 10 minutes and see what happens)

edit2:

FIXED!!!

Spent 10 hours trying and failing to flash only to find this thread...

https://xdaforums.com/note-4-verizon/general/guide-flash-verizon-mm-6-0-1-ota-update-t3396964

That's where I discovered you need to flash the stock recovery first. Only then will the full firmware (with PIT file) pass.

All 3 files are located here:

https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1-tsPODPh034IJK3o3Igkzjm8tvL1MkxQ?usp=sharing

(Enter download mode with VolumeDown+Home+Power. If the phone seems frozen then unplug usb cable and battery.)

1. Use the PIT tab to select the PIT file.

2. Use the AP button on Odin to select

recovery

file.

3. Reboot to download mode.

4. Use the PIT tab to select the PIT file.

5. Use the AP button on Odin to select

full firmware

file.

Obviously this for 910V Note 4 only.

Resolved blue head issue, I think

I had a similar issue with the blue cyanogenmod head at boot. I got to step step 57 with flying colors but got stuck on the penultimate step just like a bunch of you. So, I messed around and after 6-7 more attempts I figured cyanogenmod is old. So, I followed the instructions here for getting my bootloader unlocked because after messing around it had relocked.

You know the boot loader is unlocked because the loading screen has an image of an unlocked lock. Then I followed the directions on lineageos which is the next os after cyanogenmod. I flashed with twrp version 3.2.3 and then flashed lineageos15.1

If you go to the lineageos website it gives you easy directions to accomplish all of this. My phone has been stable so far.

(This was my second root attempt. I had a verizon galaxy s5 for a long time that I accidentally updated to Marshmallow. All in all, I'm very proud of getting this far on my Note 4 but don't expect expert help from this direction.)
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] bobby_fatmeat:
Thank you for this guide.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] Brunner25:
First I'd like to say Thank you for the Stock Rom. I've been using it for a few weeks now and most everything has been going great, for the most part.

However, lately I've been running into minor issues that usually fix themselves whenever I restart the phone.

-Whenever I restart the phone, Contacts - Favorites - Frequently Contacted, gets erased each time the phone shuts off and turns back on.

-Signal will sudden drop out when going from 1 tower to the next. Stating, "No SIM card or Error SIM card" (This is extremely annoying when I'm driving for work and keep losing signal for no reason. Having to call back after getting into the next tower area. This happens on the way home too, same place every time.)

-Phone screen will suddenly turn on for no reason, on FULL brightness. Have to press the Auto adjust, off and on, again to get back down to normal.

(Wouldn't be an issue, but in the dead of night it'll do this and light up the entire room!)

-At times whenever I save a photo, it doesn't actually save to my phone/SD card. (Have to reboot to get it to save properly.)

-Bluetooth will suddenly quits working, mic stops, and google speech too. (Reboot usually takes care of this too)

-(Not sure if it's software or hardware) - Battery drains suddenly throughout the day. Might show 87% at 9am, then suddenly 65% at 9:10am, reboot, shows 85% again. OR will be on 1% for an hour before shutting off. (using the whole time too).

BUT Like I said, everything works great for me. I've been using it for a few weeks now and haven't had any issues, other than the ones that I've stated. They are minor compared to not having Root that's for sure.

If anybody else have been having the same troubles, and found a patch/fix for them, let me know please. I'd greatly appreciate it.

[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] IreBurn:
This method is bullcrap and doesn't work. Get downgraded and can't push the fix because the only two usb connection options are mtp or ptp which unmounts the sdcard. There's no option to use charging only.

[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] JacekRing:
Awesome!

I'm glad it worked out, was it an issue with my guide or ultimately something else that was causing difficulties?

Lastly, how did you find my guide was it easy enough to follow or was there any particular parts you found confusing? I ask so that I can improve the guide for the next person trying this.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] Viper-Link:
Ah damn, not sure how but im on CM13... but I got unrooted after installing Xposed.... odd.... Any ideas?

I found your guide straight forward for the most part. Although some parts where confusing. Such as "34. now, click the button "Wipe" and on the bottom of the next screen "Swipe to Factory Reset", then reboot your phone."

When I came across this step it wasn't a swipe but a normal Factory reset from the Regular interface. So that had gotten me confused as to whether or not I should re-flash TWRP for that "Swipe to Reset". It was mainly just minor things such as these.

Is it possible Step 54. Unrooted me?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] JacekRing:
No you are still rooted, but it's disabled by default. Goto developer options and there will be an option to enable/disable root. So you can keep root of and just turn it on when needed. It keep it on app the time, some games search for root to detect cheating

Edit

Damb auto correct lol on my phone. Meant you can choose if you want phone rooted all the time or just when you are installing an app. Once an app is installed with root, it retains root permissions regardless if root is enabled or not in developer options.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] Viper-Link:
Oh wow, that's an odd option, first time on any CM rom, thanks! I could hug you right now!

[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] keviinese:
hella noob

on step 42 it asked if i wanted to install supersu, no instruction so i assumed that i should install. Now i regret it, phone is now stuck in a boot loop. help! what do i do?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] pfcland:
try pulling sd card out
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] JacekRing:
Sounds like a driver issue, did you follow steps 43 - 51 properly?

Edit: You can also try to clear the davik/cache see if that fixes it.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] pfcland:
haven't got to step 43 yet, was late last night trying to get it to get out of bootloop then i pulled sd card and had to go search for my spare sd card sadly i can't find my sd card adapter

to plug into my pc to reformat

---------- Post added at 05:25 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:22 PM ----------

So right now i gonna start over and retry from the beginning
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] JacekRing:
Agree with Pfcland, try pulling out your SD card.

If that doesn't work do a factory reset via TWRP bootloader (try several times, like 10x before you give up).

Now if all that fails boot into TWRP recovery and go into Wipe > Advanced Wipe and select cache/davlik/system/data, and wipe. Then go back and continue from step 31, starting with flashing N910VVRU2BPA1_N910VVRU2CPD1_FullFirmware.tar.md5.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] keviinese:
just restored on twrp and now works, still going through the whole process as i type, will report back with results as soon as i finish
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] JacekRing:
kk, GL. Make sure to follow the guide as best as possible. I'll add a note on step 42 not to install SuperSU ;) You will never need to install SuperSU following my guide.

If you are on N910VVRU2BPA1_N910VVRU2CPD1_FullFirmware.tar.md5, then yes wifi will not work. That is a known issue with that firmware on this phone.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] pfcland:
Yea i was on the second round about 21-25 and then was unable to boot phone till i pulled sd then realized i had no sd card adpater to reformat sd card via pc so i was like ok so i went and updated via system update and went back to marshmallow and wifi still didn't work . Unless you have a link to the working system.

Also on my second try i got to step 25 unplugged the cord and pulled the battery and got the boot loop till i pulled sd card according to you instructions this should not happen till the second time correct?

---------- Post added at 05:54 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:46 PM ----------

ok i figured out a way to format my sd card lol just put it in my tablet and format it that way lol
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] JacekRing:
Yea it should format your SD card and create a backup on the second time you run adb command ./samsung_unlock_n4-fix Although if the message you got for some reason resembles the message you see in step 37 you somehow managed to run samsung_unlock_n4-fix twice already and it create a backup on your SD card already.

This is one of the most incredibly tedious phones to unlock, LOL.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] JacekRing:
Good thinking
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] pfcland:
Question on step 8 and 32 are the same firmware correct? cause its a bit confusing i have these 3 files

N910VVRU2BPA1_N910VVRU2CPD1_FullFirmware.tar.md5

N910VVRU2BPA1_N910VVZW2BPA1_N910VVRU2BPA1_HOME.tar.md5

N910VVRU2CPF3_PartialFirmware_PatechedKernel.tar.md5

now on step 8 you say install N910VVRU2BPA1 Full Firmware flash it via odin

on step 32 you say flash N910VVRU2BPA1_N910VVRU2CPD1_FullFirmware.tar.md5 via odin

ok which one is the one that goes to step 8 lol

---------- Post added at 06:13 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:05 PM ----------

Ok i read a post someone made

N910VVRU2BPA1_N910VVZW2BPA1_N910VVRU2BPA1_HOME.tar.md5 = Step 8

N910VVRU2BPA1_N910VVRU2CPD1_FullFirmware.tar.md5 = Step 32
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] JacekRing:
Yes, N910VVRU2BPA1_N910VVRU2CPD1_FullFirmware.tar.md5 is the upgrade from BPA1 -> CPD1 (step 32)

While N910VVRU2BPA1_N910VVZW2BPA1_N910VVRU2BPA1_HOME.tar.md5 is the BPA1 full firmware (compatible with 3 carriers including Verizon) (step 8)

I'll modify the guide to make it more clear.

Alright when i get to

33. Boot up in recovery mode (hold volume up, home and power when turning on)

34. now, click the button "Wipe" and on the bottom of the next screen "Swipe to Factory Reset", then reboot your phone.

When i go into boot up in recovery mode i get a list

Reboot system now

Apply Update from ADB

Apply Update from external Storage

Apply Update from Cachce

Wipe data/factory reset

Wipe Cache partition

reboot bootloader

power down

view recovery logs

I do not see were u click e Wipe" and on the bottom of the next screen "Swipe to Factory Reset", then reboot your phone.

I can click wipe data/factory reset and scroll to the middle were it says yes

is this right or is the twrp not flashing correctly
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] JacekRing:
Sorry have to change that step. Do the "Wipe data/factory reset", when you did the last flash it replaced TWRP with a stock bootloader again. I will modify guide
