Hi guys, like all of you i have been waiting patiently for root on my VZW Note 4. Upon doing a little research i found that Chainfire has rooted the note 4. I went to his website to see if the SM N910V is compatible and according to the site...it is!!!!!.......
Can someone please verify if this will work on the retail version on the VZW SM N910V.
Thanks

You may brick your device. It is of course possible to bring your device back from such a disaster but you can avoid that by acknowledging that the Dev. Edition has an unlocked bootloader unlike the retail Verizon model which is why it was easier to root. I would wait for another method.

I've tried to flash a lot of stuff including this. Everything fails before it actually writes.
any way we can go back to 4.4.2
So if we can do that idk im.not great with these things i know i could down grade on my lgg3

Note 4 owners over in the Verizon section are putting together a fair effort to investigate rooting themselves. We AT&T users should have a similar thread.
The Verizon thread, for reference:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-4-verizon/general/talk-root-t2908919
T-Mobile and Sprint have CF-Autoroot but not yet for AT&T and Verizon. So (I think) a new root should work for either, all the more reason to work together.
In the Verizon thread the general process was posted:
Surge1223 said:
I have no vested interest in this (other than seeing vzw get screwed over) but someone needs to get the ball rolling here:
1. Grab the Odin tar then boot.img to get kallsyms
2. Post partition info
3. Grab kernel source and confirm latest Linux kernel cves are patched/not patched
4. Find PoC for Linux exploits for 2014 Linux kernel cves and port them to android and test
If you have to ask what any of the above are/do Google is your friend.

Feel free to read through the other thread for info on CVEs and stuff.
The Verizon owners have to wait for kernel source but I guess our's is already posted (N910A):
http://opensource.samsung.com/reception/receptionSub.do?method=sub&sub=F&searchValue=Sm-n910
SHA1 and SHA256 for the kernel source zip that I downloaded, for reference:
99e00529ce613548664f3c986cd7df886b54caa0 SM-N910A_NA_KK_Opensource.zip
9a5dfcbcd1b77367507b9374afd4f1e1afd505255ff48b4d3779b235974650c0 SM-N910A_NA_KK_Opensource.zip
This might not be necessary as someone like Chainfire may already be working on a rooting method, but we might make it slightly easier.
Any contributions by more knowledgeable people are greatly appreciated.
Anyone want to post their kallsyms, boot, or full image of an AT&T phone?
I'll try to post myself if I can figure out of I'm supposed to use Odin or if the way the Verizon owners got their's was with some Verizon-only tool.
We have firmware here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-4-att/general/stock-to-stock-odin-flashable-tested-t2915915
The kernel source is here:

Nice! Yeah the kallsyms should definitely be in there.
Here are the kallsyms from the ATT image.
I've been googling but I can't figure it out
How do you get partition info from kallysyms?

You don't. The kallsyms are information about the internal kernel functions, useful for writing code which gets you root access.
Partition information sits in a .PIT file inside the factory image (if it's available), or you can dump it from a running phone.

They match the Verizon kallsyms. Good sign for finding a root method that works on both. :good:

They shouldn't match the Verizon n4 kallsyms... They should be different, if not then someone odd is happening..

Edit: Gah, still had kernel.Image extacted from the Verizon image, and didn't notice the message saying "kernel.Image: already exists; not overwritten". The attachment above has been updated. My apologies, and thanks for catching it.
This may be interesting though. The nexus devices have a check box in the developer settings to OEM unlock the phone. Basically you just check a box and it's boot loader is unlocked.
http://www.androidpolice.com/2014/1...-6-9-requires-checking-box-developer-options/
Maybe this can be used to find a loop hole on lollipop for this device. I think there could b be a small chance this device could get unlocked after the update. It might actually be easier.

While I appreciate the speculation, that's all this is, and at the moment we don't have Lollipop. I believe the OP specified good steps that should be looked into. I have downloaded the source code but am not exactly sure how to be looking for other then doing the steps as outlined: Finding the build date of the kernel then looking up know vulnerabilities in it. Obviously this is going to take a while and makes sense on where to look. Why focus on something we don't have when we could focus on what we do.
tl;dr We need to stay focused on the current task at hand. Also it'd be nice if this thread didn't get derailed with speculations.

I don't see it either. Their tweet says our phone specifically has been added. Not sure of the supported devices hasn't been updated or what. I'm kinda sketchy about trying stuff that I haven't seen discussed on here. Does anyone know if the stock firmware is available yet.? At least that way if someone ends up with a brick we can at least Flash it back to normal

Pretty sure the Verizon crowd already dismissed this method. Likely a hoax.
Tried to find something in their forum but nothing... Something tell me that this is fake
Tried it and didn't get root.
I purchased my Note 4 from Craigslist and put in a request to At&t for getting the unlock code. They said that the device is still under contract but is not blacklisted. I tried reaching out to the seller but the person doesn't anwer my calls (no surprises here!)
So I'm wondering if it's possbile to downgrade my Note 4 from 4.4.4 to 4.4.2 and ue the RegionLock away. I did a quick search and did not find info on this but I do remember reading about the impossibility of being able to downgrade furthur down from 4.4.4. Can someone please confirm?
We never had 4.3, so no, you can't downgrade to 4.3 because no firmware ever existed.

I think as long as you aren't on firmware COC5 or COC6, you can. Once COC5 came out, it made reverting impossible.

Ok hold on. I'm confusing myself here.
First, COC5 and C6 are both Lollipop, so you aren't at that point. Once you accepted those updates, you can't revert back to 4.4.4.
You're on 4.4.4 now, so you can revert back, but only if:
1) ... our Note 4 was ever on 4.4.3. If it never was, you'd need a custom 4.4.3 rom, which wouldn't be possible anyways since we have a locked bootloader. You'll only be able to install official firmwares for the N910a.
I can't remember if we ever had 4.4.3 though. I only remember 4.4.4. But when I got my phone, it updated right out of the box to the same firmware you have now. So whatever firmware was before that, I never really used. Lol
2) ... you can find a flashable odin version of that firmware. I think it was NKE or something.

Your phone is on original firmware as they wore release. There is no lower firmware available for this phone. About RegionLock, You can't use it because app need root and all we have on At&t note 4 is temporally root witch will not work. Best is if you buy unlocking code from some web.

First of all you're in the wrong thread, this is for AT&T devices and your SM-N920V is a Verizon device which cannot be rooted as of yet and I suggest you use the Verizon thread to avoid confusing people and flashing stuff for the wrong device.

::sigh::
You can't install any "ROMS" on G928A because the device is LOCKED and AT&T will (probably) never unlock it.
In regards to Odin: you *can* odin back to a previous software update *but* if the phone is on marshmallow 6.1+( and above) you *can not* odin back to previous update; you're stuck on marshmallow. Furthermore, you *can not* install a different device Odin files onto G928A through Odin, if so, you'll have a bricked phone; paperweight.
