The United States AT&T perversion of the device, or the real one sold in nearly every other country in the world? If the AT&T one, probably not. If something else, then it's possible - check the non-AT&T Note 5 sections..
Take care

920A is the at&t variant. Unless a ping pong type exploit releases, we'll probably never gain root on this device.

If you want root get the 920i
Curious, maybe you know the answer to this but I've seen some use the 920i as well as the 920c on AT&T.. Is there a difference?

There must be as the different models have different bands the device can use for service. The 920i will certainly work on all at&t bands and you can get it on eBay now for $589. I don't know what bands the c model uses.
Did a lil research and I believe the C has the same bands but is the Dual Sim model.

As stated it is highly unlikely that root for the AT&T version will ever appear. The locked bootloader has made it almost impossible...and now with the added Knox switch, the phone won't boot if Knox is tripped. And just to address your request for a time frame...asking when someone thinks root will appear is the same as asking the lottery commission, "If I play the lottery every day, when will I win the jackpot" There is no way to have any advance warning root will appear.
I don't think the pile on is necessary
Well I did don't win lottery last night. So guess better luck next time around.

One of the biggest reasons I didn't buy the Sprint Galaxy Note 3 was because of the device only supporting uniband LTE.
Do we know what kind of antennas the Sprint Note 4 will have from the FCC filings? I am hoping it's Tri-band. :laugh: :good:

I might have answered my own question, but confirmation would be nice:
I found these:
* LTE Band 26
* LTE Band 25 (PCS)
* LTE Band 41
It also appears to support MIMO Wifi
Yes it's going to be triband and thus spark enabled.

Sprint note 4?
Lets see if sprint locks the sim down on this phone just like they did on the note 3, if so, I will NOT purchase this handset. Samsung is trying the apple approach when it comes to developing its own eco system, giving users less options; Is anyone else hear worried about the sim lock? What about the new KNOX? I really dont want to go through all that again,ughhh

By sim lock do you mean not being able to use it on other carriers domestically?
As far as my understanding goes, isn't a bigger issue a locked bootloader than Knox since sprint could probably care less about Knox being tripped?

That as well
We still dont have a way to unlock the N3 ( without sprint international or domestic ) So I assume it will be the same way on the N4. Lock bootloader im not so much concerned about, only because i doubt it will come with one. ( I could be wrong and if i am i apologize in advance lol ) If it comes with a locked bootloader, then i will simply rma it and not use my upgrade, ditch sprint and head to tmobile.

Forgive me if I'm misunderstanding what you said but to use your phone internationally all you have to do is call sprint for the unlock code. For domestic purposes sprint won't unlock it until after Feb 2015 for phones made after that date
Yeah I don't forsee the bootloader being unlocked but hopefully some devs will find a way around it? One can hope at least. Either way I'll stick with the note 4 as I'm coming from the s3 and got a good family plan so no plans of switching carriers.

No worries ..
My dear xda friend, you cant unlock the sim for international use if you are on the sprint easy pay program, even i fyou purchased your phone out right ( in my case anyway ) i have 3 lines with sprint and they wont allow me to unlock them, so i am s.o.l, even if i wasnt on easy pay, they told me that i have an old account that has an unsettled debt so they wont unlock it, even though it was proven to be fraud in court.
Thats even more of a reason to terminate service. im really disappointed with cell phone manufacturers,especially samsung, how do you not include usb 3.0 and temp and humidity sensors, some people actually use these for work, guess ill be sticking with my N3

Wasn't sprint the only carrier to send out the S5 with unlocked bootloader? So why would t-mobile leave the Note 4 alone but lock the S5? For me im good as long as there is a root but I also don't mind TW roms.
Possibly

Sprint released news a while back about devices manufactured in 2015 will be " unlockable" but the funny thing is, the law allowing you to unlock your phone expires next year< end of 2015. So sprint is trying to dodge that bullet, and im pretty sure the note 4 wont be unlockable

Those who are pledging for root and unlocked bootloaders, Why didn't you buy an International device for the same money?
I am waiting to see which device gets the most developer attention and which will work with ATT LTE before I jump into the Note 4 water. I may have to buy ATT for LTE but I don;t know about that for sure yet.

I'm using N910C on AT&T. LTE works, at least where I'm at (Ohio). It works out of the box for me while others say they have to call AT&T to have them provision your account with new IMEI.

Warranty was my reason. I've replaced the last three Samsung devices I've owned under warranty for different reasons. Hopefully someday we will get root without Knox tripping.

on what carrier you are planing to use it? You cannot use sprint Galaxy note 4 on domestic GSM carriers like AT&T, T-mobile and their MVNOs (Straighttalk , etc). The phone can be unlocked for international GSM use (voice and 3G only, not LTE). Internationla unlock can be done officially through Sprint or unofficially via app in this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/spr...print-samsung-unlocker-unlock-sprint-t2928250
My question is how did you come across a Sprint Note 4? Did you not do your homework before acquiring the Sprint Note 4? Maybe you somehow got the phone for free? Why would somebody actually pay for a nice phone (released only a month or so ago) without knowing if it will work on a completely different network/carrier... then turn around and look for help on how to activate it on a GSM carrier? This makes no sense to me.
Im curious too.
Can a Sprint phone be unlocked and set up for use on ANY other carrier in the USA,
ie: Verizon?
No no no

I am pretty sure that if the phone had a clean ESN that you can activate it on Ting Mobile. I have also saw a thread where someone had flashed a T-Mobile Rom to the Sprint note 4 but they where not getting LTE of course I'm sure in time someone will come out with something stable.

Off topic here.
I came up for upgrade in June. I was gonna go Nexus 5 and then the Nexus 6 rumors started to fly. So I waited and along came the Note 4. After much research I ended up with arguably the best phone on the planet. Imo it is.
Unlock Code
I am in Canada, got this as xmas gift from my father in law
You can root and try Galaxy Tools 4 root users https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.idone.galaxymenu
Or you can use this app from the S5 thread you don't need root with this app http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2928250

1. No
2. Customers can switch devices by calling on a different phone to CS or going into store and switch devices, no unlocking necessary.
3. Just switch Sim cards and edit and tweak where necessary or pay someone if you dont know how.
4. Correct, but no unlocking necessary.
5. That depends on the person.
Thank you for your answers

Yes yes yes it can be used with other carriers in the USA. Are people forgetting about flashing of modems and firmware. What decade are we in 1960? Our maybe 1950 when phone were still two way radios. Remember sprint can't stop everything Samsung does in making their phone. Ask the right questions to right people get right answer. If someone in XDA hasn't figured it out yet just wait & keep on looking. XDA is also not the only place to look for answers to everything Samsung, sometimes Samsung is were to look or Samsung blogs. All I hear is everyone that talks about Samsung first thing everyone says is it CAN'T be done. When are the tech, crackers, & hackers of this world going to stop saying everything is impossible & realize we are the ones that make everything possible. If we are going to do that why do we become techs or crackers or hackers or even developers in the every first place?.... LET'S STOP PUTTING LIMITS ON OU OURSELVES & SHOW SPRING WHAT WE CAN DO! Sprint is not GODZ. We created what sprint & Every carrier in the world uses to try to put limitations one everyone with. Are we going to let the carriers use or phones against us or are we going to use them the way the phone manufactures wanted the phones to be used ( without restrictions of the carriers of the world.)
after unlocking your sprint device you can only use it with carriers outside the USA. If you are planning to use it with local sim cards after unlocking like at&t and t-mobile (gsm) then you cannot.

Umm if its not under payments u can
Yep once the phone is paid for per new laws that went active in Feb or March if you ask the carrier to domestic unlock your phone they are required to do it by law. Some models this will not be possible but the note 4 should. I think the carriers have a grace period to make this available. Not sure how long. I could quote the legislation but Id have to search for it.

B to the S. If you can unlock a 720t a note 4 can be unlocked!! Period!! It picks up signal just no antenna for that signal because the phone antenna is tuned in the wrong station or radius degree. I think if the people who can unlock 720t s can try the same methods with busy box or Verizon modems. Like guy said earlier " Si se puede"!! It can be done!! Just need to tweak frequency angles and remove face security options a little.
By law you can have it unlocked for a limited time, but that will not make the LTE radio magically work on your carriers band unless they support the same band. Or unless you know someone who can JTAG flash the radio to another carrier as well you will not be able to use the LTE/DATA band on a carrier that does not support the frequency. This is nothing something that can be done over USB or by a new kernel. This will have to be done with JTAG and by someone who has access to the various carriers radio firmware which is tightly guarded. So basically you will be using a Note 4 on 3G only. Might as well just sign up with SPRINT then, you will get the same service speed.
Hi,
I know there is no way to unlock the bootloader on an att Note 4, but if ATT unlocks it would it become an International Version and can the bootloader be unlocked? Sorry if this is a dumb question.
Young fool.... only now do you realize the power of evil AT&T produces.
Now Rosachin, you will die.
(In all realness, no of course not. ATT ain't that nice nor will it ever be. You can unlock the phone in terms of cellular network but that's it.)
I cant believe I didnt come here before I bought 2 brand new at&t Note 4's Unlocked. What an idiot I am. Just never had a at&t and didnt think anything of it because everytime I have wanted to root and mod my previous phones, I never had a problem.. I never had at&t though.. uhhgg. maybe by the time I just cant stand the stock rom, they will unlock the bootloader? I dont know if that's how it works...
Oh well, sad man here.

Well, I just sent a return request for one of the note 4's. AND just bought a USED sm910T from ebay.
So, instead of me getting a brand new AT&T UNMODDABLE note 4, I will be getting a used but in great condition T-Mobile note 4.
And if I can get out of the restocking fees from the return, I will come out 50 bucks ahead. Cool.
The other new note 4 went to my daughter for xmas, and she already broke the screen. DOH!!
I lucked out this time I guess.
Cheers all.

Yeah man, I'ved used At&t for years. Some phones still ended up rooting and unlocked (Sky-Rocket, LG E970, and Note II) this is the 1st phone I purchased that couldn't be rooted to install ROMs and Mods. Very annoyed but glad to know after this experience we know not to buy from At&t directly. Either buy unlocked form Swappa, eBay or Amazon or know that you will be limited when you buy from carrier. In the mean time if you really want out, pay the bill so its clear for selling, and sell it online or in person. Also you can wait it out until the next upgrade.

Never again for me, not directly from AT&T & maybe not Samsung. [AT&T-Captivate, and VZ-Note2..rooted and other ROM'd but now ]. Question: what aspect of the hardware allows a carrier's specific bands of LTE to function? Or is it that the hardware is fully "plastic", capable of any LTE banding given the software[albeit locked] and SIM[mine unlocked] ? There are multiple Note4's. AT&Ts also runs UMTS and GSM. T's? Verizon's also runs its EV-DO. Perhaps these 2G, and 3G aspects become irrelevant and the 4G/LTE buildout completes, but the question remains over capability on carrier specific LTE bands.
With my SIM unlocked Note4 I used a VODA SIM this summer in Italy, but don't recall whether I had access to LTE , or evn which data mode functioned.
Ok, I hope I don't get in trouble for asking this here. . I tried to search but I'm not real good on this phone yet. . That's no excuse, I know. ..
Anyway, I received my T-Mobile Note 4 today and I want to root it right away as I am an owner of titanium backup and rom toolbox.
I am wondering if there is an easy way to root my device without installing a custom kernel AND not require a pc?
If I have to use a custom kernel, which one is the most stable?
My device specs are
SM-N910T3
Android 5.1.1
LMY47X.N910T3UVU1DOK2
KNOX 2.4.1
I have data turned off on my phone and disabled data from my carrier. I use WiFi and no data. .
Again I'm sorry for asking this but it's been a real long time since I have installed custom anything and my pc blue screens randomly so I'm afraid to try rooting my phone that way.
Please, step by step, easy tutorial or a link to where I need to go?
Thanks a bunch.

[email protected] the space. Ironically....yeah i will remove the space so you can suffer clicking on the link on your phone...
Since we are on the subject of bootloaders. It's been a while since I flashed a custom rom on a phone. But from what I remember, isn't the bootloader these pictures that I attached? I took pictures on my AT&T Note 4.
Thanks
Yes i have read the whole thing.
Ok, to cut a long story short;
i bought a note 4 on an online australian shop for $470 (really hard without a job)
Anyway, they noted that their phones are from GENUINE Suppliers and i got a Note 4 UNLOCKED from, you guessed it. AT&T.
Now i wasnt too fussed. I was happy i got a note 4 that wasnt a chinese brick phone, since it technically was refurbished from their Hong Kong Warehouse. Anyways
After like...idk 2 months? approx? i decided i wanna root it. Guess what?! BOOTLOADER. WHAT THE ***T!!
Anyway, i spoke to some people, one said he hasnt rooted a phone passed gen 6. and the other person said 'no cant root. Bootloader is locked and no way to bypass.'
Soo im wondering if its possible to root the phone without removing bootloader? I dont restart my phone much and the whole bootloader doesnt worry me so im just curious if i can chuck a stock rom on without worrying about the bootloader.
Some background info:
I am Australian, therefore my phone is running under Australian networks (Boost, Lyca, Telstra, Optus, Vodafone, etc)
It is filled with unwanted, unnecessary AT&T bloatware.

No root or bootloader unlock yet or maybe ever....u can disable all the att stuff but not remove completely without root. At least it will cleanup ure app drawer a lil.
AT&T note 4 update?
I'm seeing the most recent updates being in 2016. Is there any new updates on the progress of unlocking bootloader for this device?

Still waiting for a miracle to happen

Hi,
I know there is no way to unlock the bootloader on an att Note 4, but if ATT unlocks it would it become an International Version and can the bootloader be unlocked? Sorry if this is a dumb question.

Ripping encrypted DVDs (or DVDs locked to a region) = unlocked
PlayStation 3 = reverse engineered
iPhone = jailbroken
Why isn't the AT&T Note4 unlocked yet? Would offering a bounty help? Is it impossible to unlock? Is it a matter of time? Is it a matter of throwing lots of computation power against the lock?
What will finally get the AT&T Note4 unlocked?

With that, the ATT Note 4 may very well be, the most secure mobile phone ever!

Is there no bounty offered? If each ATT Note4 owner chips in a few dollars, we could raise a bounty of several hundred dollars. Then some tech-wiz can take much time trying to unlock the bootloader.
Anybody else willing to contribute to a bounty?
My oem unlock is greyed out what gives? I'm using it on T-Mobile.

It's still a Verizon phone and blocked for root. The sim card has nothing to do with it, its the IEMI that matters. Mine was purchased from Google and unocked just fine with a Verizon sim in it.

Not possible. Your Verizon variant phone cannot be "bootloader unlocked" and rooted, however you can use it on other networks because it is "carrier SIM unlocked". If you were interested in a bootloader unlocked phone you should have purchased an unlocked Google variant.
I see it more like google.are idiots and dont explain verry well what they sell... Why would anyone actually buy a phone that is OEM locked purposely?

Because the Verizon model was cheaper, so if root was not important people would buy it. Or they get it for free on a Verizon plan.

If you don't know by now that Verizon locks their bootloaders then it's your own fault.

Nothing is free. Certainly not a device where you pay ~30 / month over 2 years. Which means they are not cheaper by any means. However, you can roll it into you carrier plan without the extra credit check or 3rd party financing.

I don't know about you, but when I take up a new hobby, I do research before I run out and buy expensive equipment. Every hobby has it's basics and common knowledge. Verizon locked bootloaders is common knowledge and it doesn't take a lot of work to discover that. So, if someone is negligent in doing their research, how is that anyone's fault but their own? As far as Verizon employees go, the people on the phone or in the stores may not know about locked bootloaders, just like a car salesman may not know what kind of turbo a car has or how much boost, but the people in R & D sure do.
