Your confusing me. Lol. I checked it's step 8, once you complete step 8 you will be on stock 5.1.1.

No way currently to root MM directly yet hence why you have to downgrade first
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] mwebb34:
Sorry for the confussion man. I have all the files that I need to make this thing work. I have also been reading. I'm gonna follow you're guide and hope and pray I don't **** this up lol. I just wanted to get everything I need in order and ready to go so when my phone arives then I can get started on it. I have adb v1.4.0 installed,Odin the very newest installed, got the newkingroot.apk downloaded,Sammy drivers installed,BL unlock_n4-fix downloaded and moved to the adb fastboot section, TWRP downloaded, and VRU2BPA1_VZW2BPA1 TAR downloaded, BPA1 & CPD1 Full firmware downloaded, open gapps arm 6.0 mini downloaded,and I have the xposed apk downloaded haven't downloaded the xposed zip yet still trying to figure out which one I need. I hope that's not to confusing to you. What I have listed is all I need to downgrade correct?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] JacekRing:
One thing I wanted to stress the second time around you will be getting temp root with KingRoot it needs internet but WiFi will not work! So a working sim is essential. Even if only used temporarily doesn't matter what carrier. I do believe it's mentioned in the guide Step 20ish can't be bothered to check what step
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] mwebb34:
Ok, that's good to know. I'm using a LG v10 as my day to day device, the sim card is a nano, so I'm gonna have to get either a new micro sim or I'll have to buy a nano to micro adapter.

I just wanna be 1000% sure that I get this right the 1st time round feel me..read read and read again and write down **** if need be..
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] JacekRing:
If you can't get the sim you can try desktop kingoroot I've heard it works and doesn't require internet on phone. Won't stake my rep on it though. Google kingoroot to find out more
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] mwebb34:
Will do....thanks for,you're help and for the how to guide.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] mwebb34:
Hey my LG v10 takes a nano sim card, and the note 4 takes micro. I don't have a device that I can activate the note 4 sim card in....
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] JacekRing:
Friends or family who won't kind lending you their sim for like 15 minutes just for that one step?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] mwebb34:
Nope,lol everyone uses nano sims

---------- Post added at 01:07 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:06 PM ----------

Wait I know sombody it won't hurt there sim? And it won't matter that the phone number is different?

---------- Post added at 01:10 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:07 PM ----------

Can I use an adapter and just use my nano?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] JacekRing:
Yes won't hurt his sim or your phone, and yes a nano adapter should be fine.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] Apolleon:
When you install a custom ROM, will it sim lock the note 4?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] JacekRing:
It shouldn't. I've seen people use CM 13 in other countries and on various carriers. There may be some that are incompatible but I wouldn't know which

My note 4 arrived today,sad thing is I'll only have a couple hours each day to figure out the going back to 5.1.1. Lol probably end up taking me about a month.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] mwebb34:
Ok, I need to downgrade to 5.1.1 So I can root

Dude the downgrade is simple as hell. It's like the first 8 steps and 7of them are just precautions...

I'm in the process of running kingroot

---------- Post added at 03:10 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:05 PM ----------

When I open kingroot it says root access is unavailable
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] JacekRing:
I think I heard someone get something like that before. Believe he solved it by doing a factory reset and reinstalling KingRoot. If you already ran the adb thing once it will not set you back, that first run will still count.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] mroberte:
I have CM13 on my phone now (make sure to dalvik/cache clear multiple times I found out), but the phone runs pretty hot usually at the top near rear camera. Anyway to figure out what's going on and/or any apps that will help?

At first I thought it was only happening with the hotspot, but its pretty much when ever I use the phone.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] JacekRing:
Check the CM forum. It's linked under the mission statement on the first page.

Also under recommended apps grab the kernel manager and you can turn down the CPU clock or lower the temp threshold for throttling.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] mroberte:
Thank you for the help, really missed running CM!
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] mwebb34:
See the screen shot down below that's what I get when I typed in the n4-fix I don't think it unlocked my bootloader.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] JacekRing:
Don't see a scteenahot. Remember you need root to use adb to unlock bootloader.

Edit also doing multiple factory resets will make KingRoot more likely to succeed. But it can fail a LOT to times before it finally works. Also highly unstable root, work fast once you get root.

Gapps

Hello Sir,

These instructions were very helpful and I was able to successfully root and install the twrp, cm. Thank you again. A question and recommendation follow....

Can you post instructions if you want to pick a different Gapps image like a smaller or larger after you've reached step 58 in the guide? I picked mini and i guess 113 app optimizations are ok but perhaps i want to change it later. What are the steps to change it? Do we run a wipe in twrp and then install the 3 apps that we downloaded.

Also in between steps 36 and 41, i for some reason kept my sd card in the phone and got into a bootloop on step 42 because I left the sd card in there. (And no i didn't install supersu) You may want to add a reminder to keep your sd card removed for step 42 if you left it in there for step 37 or put it back in when there is a backup image there. After i removed it i was able to boot again and i noticed there was an image backup on there. Just an observation i ran into that caused me a little delay.

Another small concern is I am was not sure which files to get for the XPossed. At first I grabbed the apk listed in the page and then clicked on the sdk link and grabbed an xposedinstaller_3.0_alpha4.zip. Thinking that was the zip that you are saying. But I think what we are supposed to do is grab the xposed-v86-sdk23-arm.zip. Is that right? It seems to have worked but was a little fuzzy.

Thanks,

Spit
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] tydiamond11:
Everything worked took around 1 and half hours but got it. Make sure on the part where you put in the jasminrom the correct way to say the phone sn would be <phone sn > because I thought at first the folder should b named that just for future people :)

I flashed the MM to MM full firmware that's were I made a mistake. I should have flashed the LP to MM firmware so my boot chain would be LP right? Although I'm having a tough time getting Odin to even see the tar. It took me 10hrs I'm not bull crapin ya either of none stop attempts and Odin never did see the LP to MM software. It's kinda weird because earlier today I was rooted and unlocked on LP and I flashed the MM to MM firmware on the 3rd try it finally seen the file. I unpl unplugged my device and opened Odin just to see what would happen. After I opened Odin I clicked pda and it still didn't see the tar. I also have a problem of Odin crashing. I have 3 different versions of Odin installed. Does anyone have any suggestions.

Sometimes windows is in the middle of a update and everything crashes. Reboot your computer and check for Windows updates a few times.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] CheeseShtick:
So if I just got a used Note 4 in the mail and it's on 5.1.1, can I just skip the first 8 steps?

Edit: I went ahead and skipped them and everything worked out.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] JustaBowla:
Well that was not the most fun I've ever had... But thanks to meticulous instruction following I made it! Like the CM13, but I have one issue... I have a Samsung Gear S watch and I can't get the Samsung Gear app to work. The error message I get from the app is:

"The operating system on your phone has been modified in an unauthorized way, and is not compatible with the Samsung Gear App. Check your operating system and try again."

I have tried downloading all the extra Samsung "crap" that goes with it. Even tried an old version. The most I could get was for it to recognize the watch, but get hung up in the connecting process and never actually connect. The other problem there is that it will end up updating to the newest version at some point and get the above message again...

So any ideas here?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] NinjaChachi:
I followed this guide about a month ago and I'm looking to switch to PaulPizzRom. Anyone know what do? Thanks very much!
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] JustaBowla:
I too am interested in PaulPizzRom. With the issues I have had on CM with Samsung Gear not working and it getting really hot. I know I can mess with the Kernel app to fix the heat issue, but I don't feel I have the knowledge/understanding to safely do this... Since we're on VRU2CPF3 Firmware I think if we do a backup of the current ROM, wipe, and then flash we should be safe. Any confirmation of this would be welcome...
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] newark_b:
Thanks OP, this is great and worked like a charm when I followed your instructions a few weeks ago.

As of today though, it looks like I no longer have root access, and I'm not sure why. Root Checker says no root anymore. Any ideas why, or how to fix it?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] wowmauri:
First, i would like to thank the maker of this wonderful tutorial! it helped me a lot! i installed cm13 and my phone consumes less ram and battery (seems) to last longer, however, i am having problems with camera , it is not recording at uhd , and when i try to put hdr+flash it stops, i have been searching but i did not found any solution to this, is there a way to solve this? thanks!
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] JustaBowla:
You have to enable developer options and it is inside that.

You can enable root and disable root at will...

Quite nice in my opinion.

[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] doubledragon5:
thanks but what about the emmc file, that I need, or is it not needed.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] JustaBowla:
The link is goofy, just search emmc in the play store and you will find it.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] newark_b:
Yeah, I love the ability to enable/disable root at will. Unfortunately, I have enabled root access in Developer Options (screenshot attached), and I still get errors when trying to do root things (like use ES File Manager to edit my build.prop, or even check root access via Root Checker - screenshot says no root).

It's as if I had root access, then it was removed somehow, and now when I try to perform a task that requires root, there's no prompt or anything asking me to allow root or not (like I think SuperSu does).

Any guidance or help would be greatly appreciated.

[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] pfcland:
Most of time kingroot will reboot but if it goes to 100% and ask to optimize means it was successful so you should do the cms commands as fast as you can then it will reboot on it's own

[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] doubledragon5:
Well after spending hrs and hrs of doing this.. I come to the conclusion either the charger cord or port is bad.. The phone would sometimes connect to ADB and other times not... I tried it in a regular wall socket, and got the same result.. Some times it would charge and other times not.. Seems the cord is loose. So going over to Verizon to find out...
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] doubledragon5:

i know there are a lot of posts regarding camera issues, but i didnt find a specific solution, is there one?

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ShinraTensei04:
- I have a rooted Asus ZenFone 5 on 5.0

- I partitioned my sd, 2nd partition is ext2

- I successfully linked apps using the app Apps2sd

The problem:

- On reboot, the apps don't work.

- This is because the obb link of the app is shown to be broken(in app details, the link picture of obb is shown to be 'cut').

- Soft reboot doesn't solve it, nor does recreating mount scripts.

Only thing I could do is link the app again, and it works, but on reboot, the same problem comes up again.

How do I fix this?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zelendel:
You can't. Those files were never meant to be in external storage. This is due to the way android loads the memory.

Only option is to update to an os that adaptable storage.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ShinraTensei04:
So will this work(linking and not breaking) with apps that are naturally movable to sd card(i.e. moveable to sd from Android settings)?

And what OS could I get to change that? Cyanogen? RR?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zelendel:
Not really. Apps are really not made for sdcards. As for the OS you will need something that uses 6.0 as a base.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ShinraTensei04:
So marshmallow allows apps into sd? No problem with linking and rebooting?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zelendel:
It as adaptable storage. Which means converting your sdcard to be system memory. Does it work? Couldn't tell you. None of the devices I buy have an sdcard slot. And oem have hidden the feature or removed it all together.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ShinraTensei04:
So... either I get a custom rom with 6.0 without any guarantee that it actually works(and lose my data), or just be stuck with this problem on lollipop.

Another question, this problem will persist even for the apps link2sd and foldermount? I ask because they might use different methods, I can't confirm myself as my apps are already linked with apps2sd.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zelendel:
Yes. It is due to the way the os is set for mounting and reading the sd card. The whole OS loads before it reads the sdcard. Once all apps and data are loaded does it scan the sdcard. Not really alot you can do about it. I just wouldn't bother with moving things to the sdcard. Devices now generally come with plenty of storage.
