[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] bogarty:
Kind of thinking maybe this should be on it's own thread. After all, this is a thread about installing the Nougat update and rooting with SuperSU. If you're introducing a completely different root method, using Magisk instead of SuperSU and using a custom kernel instead if just flashing SuperSU, which requires diverting the discussion to asking for testers and such, then this may be a bit off topic for this thread. I appreciate your contribution, but, as the OP says, this thread is for those who prefer to root with SuperSU over Magisk.

Feel free to link people to a new thread here though. Thanks! :)

Really sorry about all the mess, you're right i'll move to my own thread and will update the link here

I had updated via Smart Switch. I then used your method to try to install twrp. The phone is recognized in Odin, but after trying to run the install of twrp my phone has the message "Custom Binary(RECOVERY) Blocked by FRP Lock". How do I get past this?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] bogarty:
You must not have had "Allow OEM Unlock" switched on in Developer options or something. It definitely shouldn't do that when using Odin. The easiest fix for bypassing FRP lock though is to just reflash the stock firmware.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] advocate2:
Is that Developer options in the Phone settings or in Odin? It looks like I might have to do a full wipe of all Data based on my search online for solutions. I was not able to install the Nougat update from Odin, only from Smart Switch. That's the reason I didn't follow your instructions from the start and ended up with only Nougat but no root.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] bogarty:
What issue were you having with installing firmware in Odin? Should work. The only thing I can think of is that your computer might not have the right drivers installed for your device or If maybe you were not flashing in the AP slot of Odin. If you can just get TWRP to install though, then you could always just flash my lite stock Nougat based Rom in TWRP from here.

https://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=72098300

It roots and does everything for you. Developer options is in phone btw.

Did you try and see if you can boot into TWRP?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] advocate2:
I can't find the Developer options in Settings. I have used Odin on other phones before, so I am sure that the settings are correct. Keeping in mind that the N5 is already on Nougat from Smart Switch, when I try to use Odin to flash the stock rom, I get a failure message. When I try to flash twrp, I get a failure message.

Perhaps if I could find instructions to disable FRP, I could get this rooted.

---------- Post added at 08:04 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:53 AM ----------

I found the Developer options by tapping the Build Number 8 times. I'll retry installing twrp.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] bogarty:
Are you downloading the firmware I linked in the OP? If not maybe the file you have is not signed properly. Do you get the same error when just trying to flash TWRP? If so, then something else is wrong like either you have the wrong drivers installed for your device or your version of Odin is too old if you got it somewhere else. If TWRP does flash though, then you can just boot into recovery wipe and flash my stock rom linked at the top of the OP for an easy fix with root and Nougat combined. :)

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] bogarty:
Something is obviously wrong with either your version of Odin, your firmware package or your device drivers on the PC. Unless you unplugged the cable too soon or something. Should be a very easy flash with no issue. Since the output says it succeeded, did you try booting into Android to see if firmware is there? You can always try doing both in auto reboot too and see if it installs. You'll have to jump back in to download mode pretty quick in between files though. Not sure what the issue is though overall. You'll have to play around with it a bit and see what works. Just doing the whole process again should maybe do the trick though.

If you can at least get TWRP installed too, then you can just flash my rom that's linked in the OP. It's based on the official firmware and roots itself.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] imagineandfeel:
You were right, tried with auto reboot enabled, was fast getting twrp on there, then installed your rom totally worked! Thank you so much!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] prometheus67:
Advanced wipe -- too much?

I'm not an expert in rooting and the process with Odin, but I am VERY good at following directions and researching where I need to. I've had no problems rooting any of my Android phones and have done so to each several times over their respective lifespans. So I am very grateful to Bogarty for providing these instructions and the links to the various files -- incredibly helpful!

That said, I do take exception to one step in the instructions (with full understanding that I may be completely wrong and/or stupid and/or incompetent!).

As a person who follows instructions, I followed this instruction completely. I wiped everything except internal and USB storage which includes:

Dalvik cache

System

Data

Cache

When TWRP later asked me if I really want to reboot because there was no OS installed, I thought "yeah, go ahead, I followed the instructions". Not pretty. But that "Galaxy Note 5 powered by Android" logo sure is pretty. But that's not really the only thing I want to see on my phone!

I started from the beginning again but under step 3 I only wiped two things:

Dalvik cache

Cache

And it's all good now. As I said, I'm very grateful to Bogarty for the instructions. He is probably working from the assumption that the people reading them are actually able to think for themselves and not wipe the system they just installed (!). :o But I suspect a couple of other posters on this thread did the same thing.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] bogarty:
Thanks for your feedback. Just decided to completely remove the part about wiping from the OP, since flashing the stock firmware should really be overwriting everything(with the exception of data) anyway, so it's really not all that necessary. I only added it, in fact, as just an extra measure to ensure there were no conflicts left over from any rom that people may have had installed previously.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] AndrewM3:
Is there a link other than Sam mobile to download latest firmware can somebody upload to mega or drive it's says 24 hours just to download and today the website is not letting me download 920t 7.0 firmware I'm on 6.0.1 just bought the phone TMobile
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] ebisetti:
Hey guys!, I've just followed all the steps, it worked out perfectly, BUT...if you don't advance, swipe turns out, when you first boot up the handset, you would end up just updating to Android Nougat, all your previous configurations, app, everything will still be there, so, even though you flashed the ROM with Odin, it won't be a fresh, from zero update. So the advice to "advance swipe" the handset is great advice for people whom want a fresh start with the new Nougat update.

I'm no expert, but I'm thankful for this page and the actual smart people here and their contributions.

Cheers guys. :highfive:

Anyway to overclock stock rom?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] sneakerspark:
Hey there.

I have an untouched N920T with me running android 7.0. I wanted to know whether this guide is enough to root it or do i need to follow some other guide to root it for the first time?

Thanks
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] bogarty:
This is a root every/anytime guide. As is always true with root you will void any warranty you might have. The Note 5 is old enough now though where no one should still be concerned with warranty most likely. In my personal opinion, I pretty much refuse to have a device that I don't have full control of, which is full of undeleteable advertisements from the manufacturer. lf you're too nervous about it, however, the simple answer is just don't do it. Again, personally, I just can't imagine not doing it.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] sneakerspark:
Thanks OP. :)

Personally im a OnePlus user so you could imagine i dont swing without root. Its just all better with it. :) I'm not a fan of Samsung phones for the fact that they are pretty hard to modify since most of them are carrier locked. I just try to stay away from them. In this case, i was asking this on behalf of a friend who asked for my help in order to get rid of the Tmobile bloat.

Thanks again OP

Can this method be used to Root N920T with:

Android V: 7.0

Baseband: N920TUVU4EQE1

?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] bogarty:
This whole method was based on rooting with 7.0 on Note 5. I haven't tried it on QE1 though because I'm still on my debloated QC6 rom myself, but I don't see why it shouldn't work on the newest update.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] KingPin:
root only?

I just need to root i am already on official 7.0 , should i just flash TWRP and then SU and no verity(which i have no idea what is that )?

& will i keep getting updates?

my current baseband is EQG1.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] bogarty:
Yes, if you're already updated then you can just try flashing TWRP with Odin, then the no-verity file with TWRP. It's not really clear at this point if the no-verity file is still needed to root in the newer updates, but as a precaution it still doesn't hurt. It just used to prevent tripping some security issues while rooting the Note 5. Afterwards, you then flash the specific SU file with TWRP. You can't take newer updates after you root though without unrooting yourself.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] KingPin:
Thanks for your Answer but i am stuck at NAND Writing.

OEM unlocked.

USB debugging on.

Drivers installed.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] bogarty:
Did you do no-verity before the SU file?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] KingPin:
These are the steps i took.

1. Downloaded ODIN, TWRP, SU, No verity. (copied SU and No verity zips to Phone)

2. Open ODIN, loaded TWRP....img.tar file. (auto reboot unchecked)

3. Download mode and connected phone to PC.

4. Start and it got stuck at NAND writing.

...

can this be due to the fact that i have pin protection and it cannot access storage? [ EDIT: did not Work after removing security]

[EDIT]

should i do T mobile version of TWRP from their website? edit: still no luck. Stucks at NAND writing start.

nobleltetmo/twrp-3.1.1-0-nobleltetmo.img.tar
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] bogarty:
Download mode is only for when you're doing stuff in Odin. You then use a different button configuration to boot into TWRP to flash the rest. Reboot doesn't need to be unchecked if you're not flashing a firmware package. That was just to expedite the process. Otherwise step 1 & 2 sound fine.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] KingPin:
It only works on ODIN 3.11 and above.

Thankyou so much for this Guide. I was trying to flash TWRP using older version of ODIN.

It only works on ODIN 3.11 and above.

Thanks.

Does this method blow away all the carrier specific settings? I currently have t mobile and t mobile mobile networks. Will all of those settings remain?

The firmware flashed succesfully but the twrp Fails. After failing text appears on the phones download mode screen that says "custom binary (recovery) locked by FRP" So after flashing the firmware and not being able to flash the twrp I exited everything (odin/download mode) shut off the phone turned it on and now I get a message that says ( com.sec.epdg has stopped. ) and on top of that message I get another that says (Wi-Fi Calling has stopped.) I close the window and it pops back instantly so it doesn't allow me to do anything on the phone. I have pictures I can upload plz help :(

EDIT

I managed to factory reset by being fast enough, but I still want to root. The firmware flash worked, I was at 7.1 now I'm at 7.0, but why didn't the twrp work ? This is the file I downloaded from the site; twrp-3.1.0-0-noblelte.img.tar and I just upload it like that to Odin without extracting the file. I'm gonna try again just to flash the twrp but I have a feeling it will be the same result but what is that message I got on my download screen on my phone; Custom binary (recovery) locked by FRP ----- Is that what's preventing me from entering recovery mode? Sorry I'm a noob guys plz help this seemed so easy :eek:

RE:Edit --- so I was gonna try what I mentioned above but now my laptop won't read the phone. It connects and charges but it doesn't appear in my CPU and I guess I didn't really fix the phone after I factory reset because now it turns off and on every 10 minutes ... someone plz .. ...
