[Q] Root? Is this legit? - AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4

I was browsing the web and ran into this one click root method that is suppose to work for the at&t note 4 on kit kat and/or lollipop. Has anyone heard of it or tried it? Sorry if this had already been posted. I was short on time and did not thoroughly read through all the posts. The link is posted below.

I don't have access to a computer today but whoever tries it first please let us know. This would be great.

I checked it out a while back. You download the software, plug in your phone, and it comes back and says your device is not yet supported. I doubt that has changed, you will most likely see the first root method available here within 24 hours of it being successfully accomplished., if not sooner.

I started a thread on this last night and immediately regretted it..Whoever set that site up needs to be slapped. I asked a mod to remove the thread. It doesn't work. Says phone not supported. Why they are paying to keep that page up is beyond me. It is specifically for the SM-n910a. But whatever. Maybe I'll rage spam my anger.

They keep it up for people like you who buy it thinking root is available for the Note 4 and can not do research themselves on the product or to even see if their is a method available. If XDA doesn't have a method no one does. A fact.

Does CM11 Require S-Off or Root?

I already asked this in the newbie thread but they sent me here...
I'm getting confused after reading countless threads regarding root, s-off, and 4.4.2 so I'll keep my question brief:
Can I get CM11 on my HTC One (Verizon)? I have a stock phone with 4.4.2, not rooted, and s-on. I know s-off cannot be achieved due to root being unavailable at this time. Is there another method to get a custom ROM onto the phone?

You're kind of in a waiting game right now. Sounds like Mobile Tech Videos can get you S-Off...for $75. Beaups has been quiet for awhile, I would assume he's working on an exploit though.

Ok, I kind of figured that was going to be the answer. I wasn't sure if there was some sort of side loading method floating around that I missed. I'm definitely not paying $75 for root. Does the java card method that only costs $25 not work? I'd be willing to pay that but not much more...

I believe it would, but I don't think anyone has successfully gotten a hold of Sonic. I tried back when 4.3 wasn't able to be cracked and Ive never heard back.

There is talk of a guy that says he has an exploit for 4.4.2 but he isn't willing to release it till August. People has linked his twitter where he has talked about it. I know it does no one any good from now till then and I am sire we will get more updates by then and could patch his exploit. So basically a waiting game for people that has 4.4.2. Not Mich else you can do. Worse case scenario is not to take any ota till August and hope the guy releases it.

Yeah I've been following those threads. Let's just hope someone else finds a way to root the darn thing. I'm so pissed at myself that I took the update without thinking about it. The phone works fine without a custom ROM but I just installed an appradio in my car and I want full mirroring. ARUnchained requires root to work....ugh

Trust me most of us are waiting and are on the same boat. I can't wait to put cm11 on my work Verizon phone because the battery life is so horrible and I actually do use the phone for work. On a normal work day from 10-8pm I usually have to plug it up to charge by 1-2pm :-/

[Q] chain fire auto root

Okay i know the answer is somewhere out there already but i looked and could not find.. has anyone tried chainfires auto root for verizon note 4.. there is a link to the verizon model and i have not seen any report on this. Please answer my stupid question lol. I know it has been talked about but simply cannot find anything on this..
IIRC it requires an unlocked bootloader. Thus, no dice.
They're is as yet no root, it'll show up in this forum when it happens. No reason to ask about xyz root method, none work.

Yeah thats what i figured.. i know the boot is on lockdown but i didnt know why they would have a root method if it was still locked down... okay thank you.. i pray to the phone gods for a solution.. i used to have the g2 and that boot was locked down and i think it still is.. they had some loky patch file that walked around the boot.. is this not an option for the note.. i dont know much about this level of information lol. Im just a simple geek that has crack flashed phones into bricks and then saved them from pure persistence!
Wait had anyone actually tried it. LOL 15K bounty but it's been out there for weeks hahahaha.
That's because the is a DEV ed. Of the phone that has an unlocked bootloader that's why it's available if that wasn't the case I am pretty sure chain would have claimed the thousands of dollars just waiting there for him and if he didn't want it he would donate it.

This Is Just Bananas.. Like A Monkey Doing A football. Like a one man funeral. Like .... well you get the point.. I need root! Wish I would have investigated this a bit before I purchased it. My friend has the 3 and tons of roms for it so I didn't know. Ignorance is death

New Note 4 owner

Is there thread that suggests what to do first with a new stock Note 4?
Root first?
Popular ROM?
Thanks
If you have the Verizon Note 4 you are stuck with stock as the boot loader is locked and no root exploit has been developed.

There's a thread called 'Desktop Setup' a little further down the main screen of the forum. I only took a brief glance, but it looks like it's other Note 4 owners showing how they have their phones setup. I just mainly setup mine to reflect how I had my S4 set. Unfortunately, though, the last post before mine is correct in saying root hasn't been achieved for this device yet. However, if you're looking to be able to use your phone as a mobile hotspot, you can purchase the full version of FoxFi for $7.95, or try the free version to see how you like it. The free one limits you to 5 megs per use, I think, before it disconnects you. I'm using the full version of the app to tether to my desktop right now, and it works pretty well. You can't turn it on with one tap like you can a rooted phone's hotspot, but you can turn off that way once you're done. The app lets me provide Wi-Fi for my XBox One, Tab 3 8.0, and Fire TV, too. Even though I can't root my phone yet, I still enjoy using it. Hope this helps, and sorry I rambled on a bit.

Haven't tried it yet, but I'm itching to give it a shot. I already downloaded the root file, but probably won't touch it til after this weekend, and the fact I got my phone set up the way I like it. I know this isn't the right thread, but before I make the decision to try this can anyone confirm that FoxFi works on 5.0.1? I'm currently on 4.4.4 and don't want to jump forward if it doesn't, since I need the hotspot. I know I can roll back to KitKat, but I'd lose all my stuff

Cool. The build in the post pointing to a possible root is showing 'Galaxy Note 4 (Verizon USA) SM-N910V VZWVerizon wireless N910VVRU2BOF1 5.0.1', which has me somewhat hopeful, with a side of skepticism. I will definitely be keeping an eye on this thread for any updates, hopefully good ones.
The file for root at the bottom says "Galaxy Note 4 (Verizon USA) SM-N910V" but has smn910f (SM-N910F (Europe)) in the file name for the zip.
Please tell me you guys are not serious???? Look at the date this crap was posted 7th July. Do you honestly think no one has tried it yet and come on the forums to scream about it. Very dodgy looking site also.
Take it easy, no point in getting worked up about it. We're all just looking for ANY glimmer of a lead for root.

And how is a 5 month old post a glimmer of hope. Most People on this forum have had their note 4s for a long long time and have been following and hoping for the one post that will spring up "That root has been achieved" it doesn't help with you posting the same thing in 3 different threads about some rubbish that has been posted 5 months ago from a website that looks like it was thrown together the same day they posted the root instructions. If anything comes up it will be posted on XDA almost immediately I can guarantee it.
I'm sorry if I sound harsh but everyone on here has been waiting a long time I see your only new to this and also had a chance to return.
The problem is No one appears to be working on anything, you only have to look at the thread "Lets talk root" I don't see any one talking about how root may be obtained and I include myself in that. What needs to happen is for this Note 4 community to start posting ideas in that thread or start a bloody new one. I am willing to use my phone as a guiney pig but come on people lets start talking about how we may obtain root and start experimenting. I will flash anything any one wants to my phone so lets take it over to the "Lets talk Root" forum.
Rant Over
Believe me, I understand your frustration as I've rooted every Android device I've had, till now of course. If we get, we get it. If not, oh well. I have more important things to concern myself with than whether I can root my phone or not. I'm sure the person who originally posted the link was only trying to help and not cause any tension. I wish I could root this thing, but get grip, it's still just a phone.

One Click Root for SM-G928A Marshmallow 6.0.1. Any good come from this?

https://www.search4roots.com/how-to-easily-root-samsung-galaxy-s6-edge-sm-g928a-marshmallow-6-0-1/
Anyone heard of this method actually working? I'm a long time lurker so please bear with me. This method claims to work with this specific variant of the S6 Edge+ but I see bounties out on this device for root so I'm kind of skeptical. It says it works with the latest 6.0.1 update for the SM-G928A.

Yeah I've been wanting to delete this ridiculous thread. Read a few mins before posting and later went back and read it again. Completely embarrassed. On this XDA App I can't delete the thread or I'm just that incompetent haha. I'm logging into my PC soon to rid this topic.
yeah I installed that software from that website. and once you install it and get it going it will tell you IT DOESNT SUPPORT THAT DEVICE. which is BS because they lied in the first place saying that software could root it. and it doesn't. what a waste of time.
btw I was talking about the galaxy s6 edge plus at&t (g928a)

Rooting Sprint Galaxy s9

Hello all. I just finally picked up my new galaxy s9 a few hrs ago and in the process of transferring files /re downloading apps etc. When I went to login to xda on here for the first time it says I've already registered once
from my IP address.....I wasn't trying to register only login though....it then however let me create this new account? Lol. Anyone know how to fix that? My original login email is [email protected]
Anyways I've always used xda and guides posted here for all my rooting needs bcas I'm only moderately tech literate and have loved how the guides here have always been easy enough for me to follow successfully. I was unable to root my s7 apparently bcas of the firmware version...so I was excited to pick up my s9 tonight.
For some reason though when I'm searching for sm-g960u it's just showing its showing me posts here for the s3. Its probably this phone I'm already getting screwy little bugs and popups trying to navigate here ...another reason I want to root asap. Was just curious If anyone could link me whatever they think the most reputable guide for rooting this phone is.
My new phone :
Sprint sm-g960u galaxy s9
Android version 8.0.0 SDK 26
RF9 firmware
Sorry that I posted both problems (login and root problem) in same place...the root is my priority though. Thanks in advance and thanks to everyone who has worked on these guides and made years worth of rooting possible for people like me!
Or- if I can't find a guide here has anyone used or tried this method?
I usually only trust xda for these types of things so I'm hesitant to trust some other site....anyone know if legit?

Oops. New users can't post links...ugg..and can't get into my original account. Anyways the guide I was referring to is at
highonandroid.com/android-smartphones/how-to-root-galaxy-s9-or-s9-plus-exynos-supersu
The answer to your question lies in the model number itself...

The US models of the S9 with snapdragon are not rootable and probably never will be.
