[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] jpatalia:
best video

i followed instructions in this video ...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dhcV93GuHB4&t=1s

and

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cfpehEkhfyg&t=6s

the second video has some parts that are missing in the first video

treat both these videos like a BIBLE.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

remember the following points that are not clear in the videos (for noobs)

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

insert a SPARE micro sd in the phone before the process, this sd card will be formatted in the procedure.

A sd card that is not not important to you

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

pl note ... u have to do the adb process 2 times.

the first time it will merely change your " CID number"

then the second time is when u actually you unlock the BL..

the second time can be tricky and KINGO nor KINGROOT worked for me . But after flashing the original firmware in BOBBYS video 1, Kingo worked after a few atempts and was able to get the root access

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

the phone actually stalls when kingo is running, and the root checker app does not respond in my case..

so i just stared kingo and when kingo said " root succeeded" , did not care to check on root checker

i just started to run commands in the adb...which kind of did not go beyonf "su" command .so had to restart phone and terminal again for an new attempt

after a few repeated tries( i think about 10)

i gained root and flashed the second time, and yay got the BL unlocked

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

when you reboot after the second adb process.... REMOVE your EXT SD card from the phone

removing the sd card is important, or u go in a boot loop

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

it took me more than 5 hours to get it right, have patience and you must have a spare phone to be using , so u dont get stranded in case of delays

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

for adb process and files i followed the video 1 . i found it easier than video 2

basically i followed video 1 and filled the gaps in info with video 2

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

its import to concentrate, aways from your girlfriends, wives, children .. any such distractions.

the process is simple but needs your complete attention.

do not think of this as a project to be done over popcorn

i downgraded from a 6.0.1 to 5.1.1 and after many tries for my phone rooted...yay

mind u it can get frustrating, but have patience and T R U S T ...
