[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] mailjasons:
Its probably bogus anyway. Somebody would have done it by now and posted it on YouTube or something. XDA is really on top of root. Personally I think the Gemflash is a scam or is going to have a prerequisite like unlocked bootloader or something (in which case we would already have perm root and alot more). Until somebody can verify it, we shouldn't be talking about it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] boofman:
True. There's a bounty for our Root, so if it can be done, somebody would have gotten that bounty by now.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] mmaku:
genflash is not a scam, i have used 4 files firmwares from that link for quite long time. may be in this case of Eng. rooting where scam may arise.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] AptLogic:
GemFlash is good for finding combination firmwares, I don't trust it at all for rooting methods.

If we can get something to actively re-root when dm-verity deletes the files then we would be all good. Maybe packaging a shell script into a system apk or something.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] jboucher614:
Honestly at this point the bounty is probably not going to be honored much if at all

after i installed experimental* firmware

i cant find the file manager and it says factory mode
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] boofman:
What are the apps that are on there? Maybe you can try sideloading an APK?

I bought one of these off Ebay. It is AWSOME!!!! The thing is like brand new. If y'all noticed I changed my phone in my profile to a 910T3 He has them in both LP and MM versions I have the LP and a friend has ordered the MM version. Mine has Xposed Framework on it. which can be difficult to do on samsung phones running MM or LP. You just have to Zip install it. I highly recommend these phones. For $259.00 you cant beat it. Anyway I wish y'all well But the 910A is a no go it certainly seems. I will still be watching this thread.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] abo gassar:
can some one help me plz
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] AptLogic:
1) the first post explicitly states that the method is broken and..

2) the factory binary that you used does not come with a file manager, you have to sideline everything with ADB.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] abo gassar:
ty for reply

do u mean i have to install super su and the other stuff with adb
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] AptLogic:
You have to install both towelroot and SuperSU via ADB... Of course if you want you could just install a file manager like WAS File Explorer and that would take care of things.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] abo gassar:
if u mean just install file manager , i tried to send the file maneger apk via Bluetooth but when i opened it and it says there is no app to open this file "looks there no installer to install any app "
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] abo gassar:
ok i got my phone rooted and i did step 3 and what after that because i got the screen that says kernal panic and upload mode

see the pic in the attachment
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] AptLogic:
All I can see is a blur :/
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] abo gassar:
uploaded clear one
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] AptLogic:
Okay I see it now... Seems like the same error we've been having since the beginning.... At this point you should just go back to stock, we probably won't be able to root this thing.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] abo gassar:
ok thanx
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] kb5rir:
THE METHOD DOES NOT WORK!!!! READ THE POST (SOMETHING WENT HORRIBLY WRONG. GET BACK ON SOMETHING STABLE). It is on the first page of this thread.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] ljjehl:
Pretty sad, considering this is probably the only device that Sammy/ATT seems to have had better success in keeping us from achieving permanent root. Must be a new Note thing... :/
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] gtaber:
Maybe I'm just stupid, but this step :

After the OS is installed, go to the file manager and install Flashfire, Kingroot, and SuperSume

Was a problem for me. I did not find a file manager in the "experimental" OS to then run the apps on my SD card. Had to use a factory image to flash back to stock with ODIN. Stuck right there, and could go no further. The only apps I had on the 4.4.4 experimental ROM was settings and a bunch of VR crap which I couldn't get to do anything, and a basic dialer. Can you tell me just how do I use file manager to run the rest? Sorry if I missed something obvious, would love to root this SM-910A.

Thanks for any help anybody can give me.

---------- Post added at 07:23 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:21 AM ----------

Yeah, I got the same issue. The needed apps on the SD card, and no way to run them or see them. Guess We are still stuck with no root for the AT&T Note 4.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] AptLogic:
Post 1 has been updated with a disclaimer saying this phone can't be rooted.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] ljjehl:
A shame.... :(
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] this.guy.lol:
If the phone is the same setup as the s5 experimental of should be able to be rooted. Just push the files via a pc to the phone or even better use a micro USB adapter and a flash drive. Enable USB debugging and it should be good to go. Had an issue on the s5 experimental but doing what I mentioned fixed it all and was able to root it and magisk works on it just fine also. Will see about getting photos of my s5 for you guys
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] Mak.b:
Anyone still trying on this? developers? or should i lose all hope :(
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] ODSTZ3RO:
I think they've all moved on at this point, I'm still craving root though :'(.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] lingo2012:
I rooted the S5. Now that I have the note 4 AGAIN!!lol im sure this can be rooted. Ill mess around some more see what happens lol
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] boofman:
I wish you luck buddy!

Also, there's a bounty thread in here somewhere..

Following
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] jzboyz:
Question: It has been a long time since I've rooted, flashed a custom ROM. Decided a while back that I wanted to do it to the Note 4 but apparently we can keep root and the bootloader is locked. Since it has been so long since I've done this I have forgotten a lot of thing, is the bottom pictures the bootloader? (Yes pictures taken on my Note 4)

Thanks.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] pawar21:
[MENTION=7597286]AptLogic[/MENTION] sir I have tried your root method..there was absolutely no kernel panic as stated by all users in this thread ..temp root was acomplished ..everything went smooth root sustained soft reboots..flashfire was able to flash the package .mobile rebooted but could not pass boot animation..there was no kernel panic even after flashing...i have obtained logcat ...sys lib native sort of thing gave fatal error ...i personally think its problem with flash script in the zip..plz reconsider checking flash script in your provided rooted firmware
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] AptLogic:
I will take a look if I have time this weekend.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] pawar21:
Sir your method is perfect ...kernel panic was not because of knox or dm verity...but due to outdated Super Su and lack of busy box aplets

Now the problem is flash script do not flash firmware completly rather stops in between and some wrong symlinks
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] boofman:
Looks to me that there's a way to root this ATT Note 4? Somebody's gonna get bounty, and our phones should be good for at least another year if this works!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] AptLogic:
Tell ya what... I'm gonna fire up a Ubuntu machine today, and rebuild the pre-rooted zip. Hopefully that fixes the issue.

I'll also try modifying the instructions to require installation of BusyBox.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] ljjehl:
Gonna be an interesting week. I'm starting to have spontaneous reboot issues, so it would be nice to see something come out of this :P
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] AptLogic:
Got this test build for whoever wants to test... its a rebuilt pre-rooted OC6.

Changed how the root is installed during flashing (to make my life a little easier), and fully de-knoxed.

Test it out here: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=673791459329058411

Good Luck!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] ljjehl:
What about that "BusyBox" connection??
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] AptLogic:
Yeah I threw BusyBox in there and it should work... The way I built it, most of the binaries are already in the system.img, but a shell script is executed right after the system is flashed to actually install su and BusyBox.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] pawar21:
dear developer I have tested this build ..unfortunately same error....flashfire loades the flash script but could not execute it....after loading the script phone goes to soft reboot and stuck at (factory binary) boot animation

Without installing busybox it give kernel panic and flashfire even dont load the flash script..after installing busybox it loads script but unable to excute ..mean rom is not flashed..mobile soft reboots

I think flashfire could not flash roms on temp root..and perm root is mandatory for flashfire
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] AptLogic:
I'm confused now.... This kind of thing works perfectly on the S5... oh well, I'll keep working at this
[MENTION=921816]ljjehl[/MENTION] did I ever ask you to test towelroot on the 4.4 firmware?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] ljjehl:
Dont remember, I think I was using Kingoroot, Supersume, Flashfire and nothing else.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] pawar21:
Sir Do we have any alternate to flashfire.mean any other on screen firmware flasher?

I have tried towel root too with same results ...i dont think rooting method matters .....
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] boofman:
Have you tried Flashfire or Mobile Odin? Both are from Chainfire
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] pawar21:
I have tried Flashfire ...but not mobile Odin yet...if mobile Odin worth trying ..i shall give a try ..ur comments pl
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] boofman:
I haven't tried any of those to be honest..and I can't try them yet as I'm out travelling this month, hotel has got lousy wifi and mobile data isn't stable, so I don't trust any of those to download a ROM / large-size files.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] AptLogic:
Mobile Odin is just an older version of FlashFire, it make no difference.

Okay that means I probably built the zip wrong or something. I'll keep searching today.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] pawar21:
No sir i dont think that the zip is wrong ..as i tried to flash system imag.tar file through firmware update option through flashfire(involving no zip..or flash script..gave the same error) and after achiving temp root i tried backing up complete rom throgh flashfire ....again gave the same error( loaded all files but could not complete backup and phone soft reboots and stuck at boot animation

I will try upload flashfire log during the whole process for respected developers to have look at and point out the problem [MENTION=631273]Chainfire[/MENTION] can rescue

One thing more worth mentioning.....i manually copy past all system apks and some framwork files in experimental rom after geting temp root....and soft reboot ....all apks were loaded but system ui crashes on opening settings ....sms and call function work ..even amended build prop work to disable OIS ...but is unstable and system apks crashes and restart automatically
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] AptLogic:
Maybe the problem is when FlashFire remounts the /system partition as read/write... would you be able to flash that factory firmware once more, ADB in, and run:

adb shell getenforce

and tell me if it says "Enforcing" or "Permissive"
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] pawar21:
Sir it is permissive i have checked that

---------- Post added at 08:46 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:38 AM ----------

Sir it is permissive i have checked that
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] AptLogic:
Weird.... I'll keep digging then.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] pawar21:
Sir please if you look into last log of flashfire apk ..it was able to load and even execute some of the cmds but fail on stage 2 where it had to remount system wit rw permission

If we could alter code of flashfire to not to dismount and remount system the rom can be flashed

Especially log lines 310 afterwords plz have a look
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] pawar21:
Sir flashfire has been able to flash unsecure boot img ..after that phone held up on boot animatiom and in download mod it shows custom binary....even then no kernel panic

i think we are not far away from achieving something of value

may be it is the problem with flash sequence. i.e. no protected partion flash in first instance or some change in this sequence which do not cut the installation by flashfire halfway

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] AptLogic:
I think you should try towelroot first, see if that works. Its a lot faster than those other root programs.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] pawar21:
Towel root says its not supported have already tried that on experimenta 4.4.4 build shared by you
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] AptLogic:
Okay then you can use either Wondershare or Kingroot, it won't make much of a difference whichever one you use.

Can you plz give modified engineering kernel for the purpose
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] pawar21:
Its really hard to understand that why nobody with some development experience is intrested in helping rooting this dammn device

i have no knowledge of scripting and development

if i would have little it was not at all that difficult

1. I have tried to achive tmp root on DIO2 5.1.1 with kingoroot apk it was succesfull

2. I tried to flash a pre rooted rom through Flashfire ...and surprisingly it was able to complete flashing process ..which was not achieved using engineering firmware.

3. Now the issue is the set after being flashed through Flashfire stuck at bootlogo means kernel is not booting which may require some modifications in ramdisk for succesfull boot ..but unfortunately there is no help coming ..... [MENTION=7597286]AptLogic[/MENTION] please if you can render any guidance or help

as there is no more issue while flashing the rooted rom ( sh: cut not found)

no kernel panic ....

~I think being able to flash complete custom system on N910A is in itself is breakthrogh developers are requested to guide us further~

PingPongRoot ?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] AptLogic:

This may or may not work, I'm not completely sure but its worth a try. I'm looking into more exploits. This firmware must be exploitable, we just have to find the right exploit.

Also, check Settings > About device, does the SELinux status say "Permissive" or "Enforcing"?

Sorry for quality !
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] AptLogic:
okay well that's one more off the list.

So we've got an outdated Linux Kernel on this, so we should find something!

Try KingRoot (the good version that we can replace with SuperSume):

Okey, But If We Install Kingo (That Work I'm Sure) We Can't Install SuperSu Than

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] AptLogic:
The process for replacing Kingo is really long and risky... that's why we're trying King first. I'm trying to avoid Kingo at all costs because its a pain to use.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] :
I can grant root access to flashify so what is the recevory should i choose ? cmw or twrp/phillz ?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] AptLogic:
Hold on, back it up a second. Did you use KingO root, or KingRoot? KingRoot can be easily replaced with SuperSU, but KingoRoot requires like 3 extra steps.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] :
I have used your file here:

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] spocko:
Super-Sume should be purchased from the Play store:

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] :
Sorry but doesn't work :/

the same thing, and root lost after reboot

Edit: i comeback to IO2 .
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] AptLogic:
Okay well we know its just a temp root now.. have you checked if Kingroot is still installed? I know that can cause problems.

We don't really need to reboot, since we're flashing a new pre-rooted firmware right after.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] :
No, kingroot isn't present, and i have tried to flash without reboot, but that doesn't work
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] AptLogic:
Okay so you used Kingroot and then after it completed you used SuperSume? At what point does the root fail?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] :
That fail after the flash of the rom, the device reboot in recovery mode
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] AptLogic:
I'm assuming you mean the pre-rooted ROM which most likely means I need to take a look at it... I probably accidentally deleted something important while debloating it.. I'll take a look.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] AptLogic:
Try this one: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=745425885120712432

In FlashFire put a wipe action before the flash, wiping EVERYTHING except the internal storage.

The flash action must have the system mounted read/write.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] ODSTZ3RO:
Where's the file manager in the experimental firmware?

All it says is "Factory binary" when it boots and there's nothing other than apps like BCDS FingerPrint, PreTest Installer and HW.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] AptLogic:
No app drawer? It should be in the middle on the bottom part of the screen
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] ODSTZ3RO:
Nope, I flashed the experimental firmware from MM(MM to Experimental).
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] AptLogic:
Hmm. Okay you'll have to turn on developer options/USB debugging and use ADB to install the applications.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] :
Use adb to install apk, there are no file manager
