Helpt with root

Alright guys, so I just learned how to root my note 4 by reverting back to kitkat then rooting. However, I would like to install cyanogenmod after that. Can I get some help on cyanogenmod size and how I flash it?

Do you have developer edition? if not you cannot do that

There is no root, only Zuul...

Why can't I root?

You CAN root, but no permenant changes can be made, and root is lost on each reboot. That's why there are no recoveries, kernels, ROMs, etc. ONLY the Developer edition models, that have unlocked bootloaders, will allow permenant changes, such as installing Cyanogenmod.
If you had to revert back to KK in order to root, you don't have a developer edition device.

I'm a little lost with the whole dev edition and what not, and I haven't installed a rom in forever. So, with that said, is this the dev edition of my phone? And if so, where do I start? I'd love Cyanogen mod, or really, any ROM other than stock. I want to get rid of all the bloat!

: There are two version of the Note 4, the Developer Edition which you can only buy directly from Samsung and the Retail Version which is sold by the carriers. The Developer Edition has an unlocked bootloader which allows you to install TWRP or other custom recovery, root and flash ROMs. The Retail Version cannot be rooted and you cannot install a custom recovery or flash ROMs. If you bought your Note 4 from Verizon I can guarantee it is not a Developer Edition.

I heard that Verizon did sell developer edition phones to those that went with the non-subsidized plans (which I did), but I can never seem to find real info on which is what. :\

Verizon maybe selling "SIM Unlocked" phones, but they are not selling Developer Edition Note 4s. They may also be selling Moto X Developer Edition phones or something like that. The only way to purchase a NEW Developer Edition Note 4 is directly through Samsung, and they are not offering any for sale at this point.

If your Note 4 doesn't have "developer edition" under the battery you have a retail edition and a locked bootloader.

Multiboot multiple OS on Note 8 after January update that changes bootloader

Max Weinbach posted on https://www.xda-developers.com/samsung-galaxy-s8-note8-bootloader-odin/ that Samsung 8/8+/Note 8 January update come with a new bootloader that
1) can not downgrade your phone after installing this
2) block Prince Comsy’s modded Odin.
Max wrote one consequence is: "Note8 owners with the carrier Note8 devices cannot flash the US unlocked firmware. If you try to flash the carrier unlocked firmware on carrier phone, it will hard brick your phone". But later make this correction as an EDIT: After being tested by XDA Senior member me2151, it turns out cross region flashing does work. Prince Comsy Odin is working, but we can not test if the factory binary flashing will hard brick your phone. So flashing US unlocked onto a US carrier device should work.
I will like to buy a Note 8 and what I want to do is have 2 (or more) ROM (OS) and be able to multi boot. I have 4 questions regarding this. With the January update can I use multi boot ROM (MultiROM, DualBootPatcher, or any other) on:
1) The Unlock International Version (install the T-mobile ROM and other ROMs)?
2) The Unlock US Version (install the T-mobile ROM and other ROMs)?
3) The T-Mobile (Snapdragon) version (Install US unlock version ROM and other ROMs)? As far said here: https://www.androidauthority.com/samsung-galaxy-note-8-update-805328/ the T-mobile Janaury update is not out yet for T-Mobile, so a T-Moile Note 8 is not supposed to be affected by it.
The 4th questions is: Lets said I have T-Mobile Note 8, Im succesfull installing a multi boot, I have 3 ROMs simulstaniously. ROM 1 is the T-Mobile ROM that came with the phone, ROM 2 is Unlock US Note 8 ROM and ROM 3 FireFox OS. Everything work fine. Then After that, came out the “January” update for T-Mobile and I installed (because I need to be protected by the vulnerabities if fix). But the update change the bootloader. The question is> Will I be able to multi boot the 3 ROMs, like was doing before instaling the update? Or the 2 non carrier ROMs will be affected by the boot loader change made by the update, and the T-mobile phone will only able to boot to the original T-Mobile ROM that came with the phone? Or when the update change the boot loader will mess (probably brick) the whoe phone not letting me to boot what ever ROM it have (the T-Mobile and and the other 2 ROMs)

I'm sorry not meaning to sound rude but I almost fell asleep midway through reading your post... 1st of all from what I gathered your buying a international note 8? And then want to flash multiboot which I personally only used when running touchwiz Rom and say a ASOP Rom if you will... but you need to keep in mind that your not gonna find too many roms over here on the snapdragon devices. I will tell you if you want to utilize multiboot then don't buy a Samsung. I used multiboot on my LGv20 having stock rooted as my daily and Lineage as my 2nd.

I was told that Snapdragon Note 8 (US unlock and US carrier) does not have unlocked boot loader, therefore is impossible to multiboot.
The question is if the Exynos model could be used to multiboot?

The #1 reason I decided against the international model was issues with Carrier Aggregation I even asked the question in this forum and the international forum about if any fix had been found...I just wasn't willing to shell out that kind of money and not have the phone work properly switching between towers. I went with a US unlocked version...should be here Thursday.
in regards to multi-boot...I believe that would be processor dependent (someone please correct me if I am wrong.) and thus you would need to inquire in the international forum if there is a multi-boot for the exynos chipsets.

Please Confirm - Does stock AT&T S9 allow Tethering?

I am trying to decide between these two versions.
I dont really see the downside to the AT&T version as I dont plan on switching carriers, and from what I understand, the unlocked version wont support certain AT&T calling features.
Aside from some additional bloat - I recall it used to be that the AT&T versions didnt allow tethering. I think they currently DO allow tethering, correct?
Any other downsides to choosing the AT&T variant?
Thanks

For tether u must subscribe to tethering package or mod to unlocked firmware change apn and enjoy

Thanks! So thats a big reason to go with an unlocked phone vs AT&T version...

Is there any work being done to try and root it or is it locked never happening

Don't see it happening. The days of unlocked bootloaders, TWRP and even simple root seem to be over for the unlocked USA snapdragon versions. I can live with that but no esim on the 'ultra flagship' device is simply unacceptable, IMO.

If you go back and read the posts about rooting, you will find the all but 1 or 2 models can be unlocked. the US Unlocked is not rootable. Make sure you read through the posts, you can usually find the answer in the threads.

I appreciate the responses. So let's say I was willing g to sell this one to buy one that can be rooted. Which model am I looking for? I just use a prepaid phone service. But like being able to jump from one service to another.

That is also listed on the forum thread titles.
SM-F926B​

Thank you

Isn't there a paid service that unlocks the US bootloader?

Would you trust someone else or a company to use unknown software on your device then install and log in to all of your stuff not knowing if they installed anything malicious?

What about model SM-F926U? rootable or not?

As stated here and in other threads, there is no root for the U/U1. Doing so has negative effects to the ROM, such as disabling the camera.
IF there was/is a successful Root process, the community will blow up with threads explaining how.

Try it out ! and tell us back
Checkout if you have the OEM option (@ developer options) to enable it ..
That is the first step to unlock the bootloader

Not seeing that OEM option in Developer options.............so I'm not willing to try it out, don't want to brick the device.

If you don't have the oem option in your developer options your device can't be rooted.

Exactly !!!
Because you can't unlock the bootloader as said before , no OEM option = no unlock
So that link is wrong unfortunately

Yes, any post that says they can root the Fold 3 U/U1 is wrong. You will have consequences like losing camera and such.
Yes, it is wrong. This has been explored at length. I'm sorry it isn't a reality, but that's where we are.

appreciate the feedback..................back in the day with Windows Mobile OS phones, I would flash custom roms all the time, then the same with android HTC devices......................but haven't tried rooting since the Note-8.
