Hi All,
Recently I tried to root my T-Mobile Note II running stock 4.3 with a few of the one ctick root apps. I've tried framaroot (no go), towelroot (not supported) rootmaster (vRoot) I think that's where the partial root came into play. It installed an app called kinguser (that says I'm not rooted WTH!). It also installed it as a system app, so now I can't uninstall it. I installed supersu which has to update binaries, but it won't disable Knox. Rootchecker also says I'm rooted somewhat. The 1st paragraph under congratulations says I'm rooted. Everything else says no I'm not. User and group ID is not returning or something to that effect. When I learned about the one click apps I thought it was a Godsend because I don't have a computer. I've tried so many things to try to get around Knox, nothing is working. Installed it then deleted it like I read somewhere, tried the su pm com.sec.knox.seandroid on terminal emulator still no go. I even tried to play around with the commands for knox on terminal emulator atill no go. I don't know if its something security related with the phone or what. I used towelroot on my girlfriends Sgh t999L with stock 4.3 and it worked. So now I'm really pissed! I've searched the web for anything like this and couldn't find nothing. I know I'm not the only one this has happened to. I used some app cant remember the name, but it did ask me to use root access for something. But it wasn't through supersu. Plus it wasn't a root type of app so I refused access. I'm trying remember everything before I post this, dont wanna post it and remember something right after I do. I know its a lot of great minds on hear hopefully someone will be able to help me out with this situation. Thanks in advance XDA members..
PS. Does anyone know what modstring. I can use to maybe get towelroot to work? Or of any other terminal emulator commands for knox.
Just Odin flash the root66 tar from MrRobinson. You'll end up rooted and running fine...

Thanks for the prompt response Coug76. I read several of the route66 posts. It appears that this method is for the sgh t999 variants. I was able to acquire root access with towelroot for this phone. I didn't find any mention of the note 2 sgh t889 in any of those posts. I know that you are supposed to use methods for the particular model. I don't know if this is a universal method or what. I ran a different rootchecker app and it says that I have root but not root access. I understand the gist of that, but it isn't helping my situation. Is it safe to use this method for my phone, or could you please recommend something else that I can use? It would be greatly appreciated. Thanks again for the quick response. Awaiting your reply. Thanks in advance.

While I prefer pc Odin, mobile Odin from Chainfire should take care of you. The only thing it won't flash in a Samsung tar is the bootloader. You already have the mk7 bootloader so you should be fine.

Thanks again Coug76, your help is both needed and appropriated. I just purchased and tried [Root] Mobile Odin Pro. First time it asked for superuser permission. The next few times it gave me an "couldn't detect phone model" error message. So, apparently I need superuser permission to run the app (I'm not sure) . I got a refund after a few tries..

There is a free version if Mobile Odin available on XDA FWIW. You would need root to make it work though. Brainfart there from yours truly.
Hastily spouted for your befuddlement
LOL! Thanks again my friend. I see there's wisdom in your words. Quick question: If mobile Odin ever comes around again to its former glory. What would be the steps to take to install what's needed? Once again thanks. As you see I'm still not rooted but I still purchased the XDA Premium 4 app. Mainly because of my correspondence with you my friend. Thanks again, can't say that it enough. You've given me hope when I thought all hope was lost.
*What good is knowledge, if its not to be shared* Read that on the back of a cereal box, naw I didn't. LOL!

Did you manage to get it rooted?
I can't get my Note 2 rooted either. I must have rooted over 50 devices over the last 5 years and never ran into so much difficultly. I have tried the root66 method, various other links around. None of them work. I was on stock 4.3 as well. And I think that's the problem. These are very old links from 2 years ago and I think since I already had 4.3, I can't just go straight to a rooted 4.3. For me, the root only works on the first boot. The next time I boot, root is gone. I have tried different versions of SuperUser - 1.91, 1.99r4, 2.01. Nothing's worked. Tried installing superuser zip from TWRP and CWM. Same problem.

No. But I had never enabled it. The icon was still on the phone. Plus the ROM I downloaded has Knox removed from it. So it should have worked. It does get root on the first boot. But it's lost after a reboot.

I'm in the same boat. I'm partially rooted myself. Im the one posted the question. I tried to root my T-Mobile Note II running stock 4.3 today with heimdall (think that's spelled right) for mac. Files were uploaded phone rebooted, no root. I got my partial root from a one click apk called vRoot or rootmaster. I have root but not root access. I've never had the luxury of being rooted at all. I've tried different things to disable knox with no luck. I really think samsung and tmobile did something extra with that update. Don't understand how dam near every other phone with 4.3 can be rooted. But this one presents a slew of problems. My rootchecker pro reads exactly like yours. Except my group and user ID's don't return anything. Other than that it's word for word everywhere else. If you come up with a solution please let me know, or rather share. I don't have a computer so it's hard for me to try anything. Good luck and thanks in advance if you get it done. Thanks again.

The bootloader info is located in the about device area. Mine is T889UVUCMK7. Yours should be the same. Only difference between my phone and yours is mine started out on 4.1.2. Another thing with my phone is: whenever I try to load something through recovery mode by way of upload by external sd card. I always get a red "E" signature error and it doesn't put it on my phone. Hopefully the bootloader info is right. Someone with a bit more understanding about this stuff passed it on to me. My next attempt was going to be with route66, guess I don't have to try it out now being as though our situations are so similar.

Hey, so I have a Sgh-i747 (s3 American version).And it seems like at&t is starting to roll out the 4.4.2 for almost two months now and I never had the update. So I went to the Samsung firmware site to check if I can download the 4.4. 2 from there and just flash it by Odin, I did find the firmware there but it said it's for. Canadian model). So I am asking if I can flash my phone with that firmware? I hope to get an answer.
Everything you need is in the General section. There are 3 or 4 threads that will help you update. Enewman17's seems to have a good success rate so id start there.

Do you know if Newman's method trips Knox or the warranty bit? I am trying to get back to 100% bone stock so I can get the OTA update, but I want to leave my warranty intact at 0.

You might want to make it more obvious that this is only for the Developer Edition.

This might sound silly! But in the OP in the instructions step 6 has two options of TWRP tar file. I'm on Verizon developer edition. When I click on Verizon version the second option.. It takes me to a page and there are 3 different files to download. I don't mean to sound like a total noob but I would hate to brick my phone over something small like this....Which file do I download?I'm pretty sure its openrecovery-twrp-2.8.1.1-trltevzw.img.tar just making sure?

For the initial installation of TWRP (custom recovery) on your Note 4 DE you need the .tar md5 file. Download that file to your computer (not phone) and flash that file using ODIN. The .zip file is the same TWRP recovery that can be placed on your internal or external sd card to be used after your initial installation of TWRP using ODIN. The .zip file can be flashed from your phone in TWRP recovery mode. Again, for initial installation of TWRP you need the .tar md5 file.

Hi - seems like I'm the only one who has not been able to push twrp via odin. Fresh dev note 4 out of the box with

... wondering is anyone else has experienced this issue?
Is it possible they sent me a consumer edition, not a dev edition? I bought it directly from samsung, and the invoice says "dev edition".
Thanks
Thanks for putting everything in a pretty package.
I HAVE A ROOTED Note 2 but it’s been a while since I rooted it. Got my phone today, made my two backups, rooted and stuck my Verizon SIM card in. Everything is working great so far. Root checker passed.

Are you still having problems? Here's a quick check list that may help you if you're still having problems"
-Make sure you have activated Developer Options and the phone is in debugging mode
-Make sure you have the most recent drivers for the Note 4
-I would download the .tar md5 Verizon version of TWRP again
-After putting your phone in Download mode and connected to your PC, make sure ODIN recognizes your phone
-Make sure the "AP" box is check in ODIN
-Designate the newly downloaded Verizon TWRP tar file
-Select Start and wait until you get a PASS or FAIL indication in ODIN (just above the ID:COM box on the ODIN screen) before you disconnect your phone. The whole process can take several minutes.
Good to go now

Turns out that even thought ODIN said FAIL, TWRP was in-fact installed. FYI: I'm running Windows 7 x32 from an iMac running Mavericks and vmware fusion - never had a problem like this with my S3 or Note 2 - but this may have been a factor. Anyway, flashed SuperSU in TWRP as instructed an voila!!

Hello,
I recently received my Verizon Note 4 DE. I was following the video posted on Youtube by XDA and I followed it exactly the way that the video was presented. So by doing that, I ran the CF Auto-root before anything else. After my phone was rooted, I then installed TWRP and backed up everything. Looking at the forums though, it was highly suggested that I install TWRP first and do a backup of my phone BEFORE I had root. Then proceed to root the phone and back it up yet again. Is it possible to go into SuperSU app and do the Full unroot option so that I can make a backup of my phone without root being done? Or is it pretty much a lost cause since I have already done it to begin with so it wouldn't be an original image regardless at this point. I guess more or less do I need to be concerned about it potentially in the future? I don't ever plan on running the phone without root access which was the reason why I bought the DE in the first place not to mention that I still have my Unlimited Data. I upgraded from a Retail Galaxy S3 that I unlocked and rooted previously but didn't really keep up on the developments after it went to a universal rom update for Cyanogenmod for that particular phone. Any help or recommendations would be much appreciated.

Ok, well that is in need news...the new root method for the Note 4 Developer Edition.

Hello.
Sorry I was at work when I replied to the initial message and didn't have the links or anything on me. I actually did utilize the T-Mobile Youtube Video link by XDA. The process is exactly the same as shown in that video except with a different CF-Auto-Root tar file built for the Verizon Note 4 Developer's Edition.
On Chainfire's website autoroot. chainfire .eu - Sorry too new to post actual links currently.
You will look for this particular line for the Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note 4 Developer's Edition. The File is around 27-28 megs in size. Filename will be CF-Auto-Root-trltevzw-trltevzw-smn910v.zip
samsung SM-N910V trltevzw trltevzw APQ8084 apq8084 KTU84P.N910VVRU1ANI1 4.4.4 28 632 736 Download 07a77f8ab23d3c2366a33020fce6afec 6 670
Inside of the zip is your typical CF set-up with the latest version of Odin and the proper CF-Auto-Root tar file for the Samsung Galaxy Note 4 Developer's Edition. You still need to download TWRP 2.8.1.1 separately.
I hope that gives you enough information and thanks for the response on being able to unroot my device and make an original back-up as well.
Thank You.

Sorry I was at work when I replied to the initial message and didn't have the links or anything on me. I actually did utilize the T-Mobile Youtube Video link by XDA. The process is exactly the same as shown in that video except with a different CF-Auto-Root tar file built for the Verizon Note 4 Developer's Edition.
On Chainfire's website autoroot. chainfire .eu - Sorry too new to post actual links currently.
You will look for this particular line for the Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note 4 Developer's Edition. The File is around 27-28 megs in size. Filename will be CF-Auto-Root-trltevzw-trltevzw-smn910v.zip
samsung SM-N910V trltevzw trltevzw APQ8084 apq8084 KTU84P.N910VVRU1ANI1 4.4.4 28 632 736 Download 07a77f8ab23d3c2366a33020fce6afec 6 670
Inside of the zip is your typical CF set-up with the latest version of Odin and the proper CF-Auto-Root tar file for the Samsung Galaxy Note 4 Developer's Edition. You still need to download TWRP 2.8.1.1 separately.
I hope that gives you enough information and thanks for the response on being able to unroot my device and make an original back-up as well.
Thank You.

I tried some programs, including towelroot, but they are not updated tu support NJ1, I really need to root it too, so we are in the same boat.
Good luck

Look through this thread. I'll bet something in it will work. Enewman17 is a whiz at this.

Here's the issue I'm having, that thread linked says it will flash a pre-rooted NJ1 rom - ok fine... But as far as I can tell, no one has specifically said they have flashed his pre-rooted rom on top of a stock NJ1 rom. They've all upgraded to NJ1 from NE# using his method.
Obviously the NJ1 'upgrade' was at least in part an attempt to prevent rooting, and I'm not experienced enough to unbrick (or effectively undo) whatever may happen in a botched attempt.
I'm assuming once you're on NJ1 stock rom, rooting is not possible?

I used Odin to flash the latest CF Auto Root for the phone, even without rooting a phone for at least a year (out of practice) I did it in less than 40 secs.

Finally I rooted it without too many problems, I had to re-install super su, but after all, it wasn't too complicated.
The difficult part was to enable tethering, because most fixes still need an AT&T chip.
The solution was this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-x/themes-apps/xposed-moto-x-4-4-native-tether-apk-t2601859
Thnak you very much for everything,

I am complete noob at this. I am running Nj1 and I have never rooted anything before. I am having battery issues and everything points to deleting the battery bin file. I could really use a little help on how to do this. When I go to the cf auto root page I can't find the file needed for I747UCUFNJ1

The file for NJ1 is the file listed for SAMSUNG-SGH-I747, which is http://download.chainfire.eu/235/CF-Root/CF-Auto-Root/CF-Auto-Root-d2att-d2uc-samsungsghi747.zip
You will see that the files inside the zip are updated after NJ1 was released.

You're awesome. But I have a question. Will this work for 4.4.2? Idk is that is a stupid question or not....

Sure, I have 4.4.2!
It's not an stupid question because probably you saw 4.0.4 at the CF Auto Root page, that's just the first Android version that the s3 i747 used, now the latest official android version is 4.4.2

Just update superSU using Google Play, and you should be rooted.
I have acquired a Note 4 the other day and when I try to power it on I'm greeted with this message. I've done some searching on YouTube but I don't see anyone with this specific error, the top left part has information on it that most videos don't cover. Any help on this would be greatly appreciated
Thank you

Can you tell me specifically what program to use and firmware to flash? It's been several years since I've had to do anything like this.
If you have twrp, just flash from it. If not, use Odin to flash twrp first, and then you can picj any room you fancy

I've been trying to re flash firmware via Kies but couldn't get it to work, I was using Kies since that is what my phone is telling g me to do, but am I supposed to use Odin? Also does it matter specifically which firmware I flash?
