Which method do I use for 6.0.1?
I rooted using the old school method with SuperSU 2.52 and a patched kernel and it is working fine. Used this kernel. He always updates to the most recent version very quickly: http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-5x/development/kernel-stock-rootable-forceencrypt-t3258352
You could also do the systemless method if you want but I don't know much about it since I have no reason to use it.

I have a G3 in white running 10r. To get root should I do the downgrade method or do any existing root tools manage to get root on Lolipop? LP is 20b baseband, correct?
EDIT: I just used LG Root Script v1.2 and it worked perfectly. Got root, installed Flashify from the app store and used that to install TWRP 2.8.6.0. Literally the easiest root -- installing recovery on any device ive ever owned
Does anyone know if there's a quick and relatively simple way to root NJ2? All I want is root to be able to better troubleshoot battery issues on my wife's phone. Pretty sure towelroot won't work from what I've read. I do have experience with odin and that'd be fine too.
Thanks guys!!
Install the latest twrp using Odin. Then flash supersu.zip version 2.46 in twrp.
I was going to use Kingroot 4.8 but it evidently does not work with T800XXU1BOL1 so I need an earlier build firmware. Where can I get an earlier build firmware so I can root this with Kingroot and not trip Knox?
HI, I got my son a wifi P600 note 2014 for his birthday a while ago, and it came with kitkat on it, so i was able to update it, install twrp, and root it. Now i bought another one for my girlfriends son, but his came with 5.1.1 LMY47X.P600UESDPL1 already on it. I cant find any information on whether or not i can install twrp, and then do the cfauto-root just like i did on the other one. Has anyone out there done this yet, or is it pretty safe to try it and i can fix a brick with Odin? I've been a Motorola and HTC guy, don't have the whole Samsung thing down yet.
Thanks, Mark
If CF has LP on autoroot website its good.
That exact version number of 5.1.1 is not on the autoroot website. But I believe the update on the tablet was just some security updates, so I thought mAybe auto root would still work. But if it don't work will it just fail or will it brick it. Can I use Odin and a stock fw file to at least get back to stock from a brick?
Just reread what you said, and now I'm thinking your saying that as long as Cf-autoroot page has a 5.1.1 lp version for the p600 it will work on any 5.1.1 update of the p600?
Why not just do it the old fashioned way? Flash twrp using odin and then directly boot into twrp and flash the latest supersu binary from the chainfire's website. I just did this with PL1 firmware and everything is running fine. Installed busybox, fdroid and adaway eveything working just fine with root permissions
Just so everyone knows it did work rooting with cf-auto-root , then I was also able to flash twrp with Odin. Everything is working great.
Hey I have the same tablet and version but new to this topic and don't know how to root my tablet. I'm searching for a guide for my device. Do you have some tips? Or maybe will explain how you did it?
I have read, watched many Videos on rooting my Sprint Note 4 5.1.1 on N910PVPS4COK1 , most are from few years past. All I want to do is to Root my Phone, I did flash TWRP 3.1.1-0. I do not want to Upgrade, downgrade or Flash another ROM.
I am confused since some mention that a new Kernel must be flashed and some Just mention to Flash CF Auto Root. Please Help.
Thank you all in Advance.
Most just flash a zip in TWRP recovery to root.
SuperSU is in Google Play but honestly I've not rooted stock from there to day that works but used the recovery zip instead. This link may get you started; read the OP and follow the link to get stable release or read notes. The title will change with latest beta test version but here is a good place to start for SuperSU.

If you're looking to pass safety net, Google search Magisk. SuperSU doesn't support hiding root from Google's safety net but doing so may be dodgy and require frequent updates.
Older methods you find may mention older methods and kernel requirements. I'm not sure if CF Auto Root gets updated with latest SuperSU but it's intended to be a shortcut to root and for those not looking to not Odin TWRP to use a custom recovery.
You've gone the common route, starting with Odin to flash TWRP. You're next step would likely to root with one of the methods above or flash a custom kernel first. There are a few but stock kernel can also be used. I use Beastmode for permissive mode to flash sound modes that include ViPER4Android; permissive kernel is recommended for that one.

Thank you for Quick response, Basically I need to flash a custom Kernel before I flash SuperSu Root. Which Stock Kernel can I use that will allow me to do that. Thank you again

The stock kernel you have would work with SuperSU or Magisk root. Stock kernel is enforcing selinux so it may not fully work as expected with ViPER4Android and maybe some other apps too. The need for permissive kernel impacted lollipop 5.1 and I've used it since then so I'm not having to know which apps are impacted.
If you're interested, Beastmode kernel is in the development forum for Sprint Note 4. Beastmode is very close to stock feel right out of the box without having to tune it; it may improve your battery stats too. The kernels with "r" are Samsung Marshmallow kernels do you'd use the numeric-only ones for Samsung lollipop.

Which One would I flash as I only see BeastMode r56 RAGE for N910P on that page.
Thank you

I agree it was a bit of a search to find and not where I recalled it being.

Flash kernel then SuperSU zip. That should give you root on stock 5.1
I actually have a newer version but it's only had limited testing with a custom 5.1.1 ROM; original links were removed. Other updates were incorporated in custom ROMs. Since this is the only one readily available, try that one if you like. Recommend flashing over stock kernel only and make a full TWRP backup before flashing in case you prefer stock kernel.
If wishing to root stock with stock kernel, flash latest SuperSU.
