Recovery

Some of the Sprint Note 4 roms are pre rooted. But where are the instructions for installing TWRP recovery for this phones, Thanks

Download flashify from the play store in flashify go 1 recovery image, 2 download twrp, 3 choose twrp 2.8.1.1
Don't download the one that says zip

There aren't any specific instructions for flashing TWRP recovery and CF-auto root. I think it's because most people know how to do this already. Basically since the Sprint Note 4 has an unlocked bootloader you can simply reboot into Download mode and flash these zips using Odin. Another good way to get some better instructions is to do a Google or Youtube search. Just make sure you type "Sprint Note 4 root" or "Sprint note 4 recovery" in your search query so you know you'll get results specific for your device.

Sorry for asking what on the surface would seem simple to some as an easy question one should already know. Over years I have made and released a half dozen roms on different phones. And each one had it's own little quirks for obtaining root or loading a recovery system. And BTW, thanks for not flaming me for again what would appear to be simple method everyone should aldeady know.

When I first got my new Note 4 I had the exact same concerns as you do about rooting and flashing the recovery. From what I read early on, you want to flash the CR-auto root first, then the TWRP recovery. Both using Odin on your PC. But I will give you a heads up. When you root the phone all will be fine, it's not until you flash the custom recovery and flash a stock rooted rom that you will lose the Wi-Fi calling setting and the toggle for it as well as the sprint boot animations. My stock rooted rom has this stuff fixed. Hybrid Edition is my rom focused towards people who want a stock looking rom.
I would like to take this time to ask if you would download my rom and give it a theming overhaul? That would be awesome. That's if you feel like it or even have the time.

Thank you for the additional info, this is one of those little bits of info that u can spend hours reading and still not find. Or after spending those hours the information may not sink in.
At this point i am still on the fence about rooting on this phone. After getting a hard brick on the HTC EVO LTE and having to buying one full price because i couldn't wait the repair down time. I move rather slower this days before I made the root leap. Once I do take the leap, rest assured your rom is the one I will use and theme. I HATE ANDROID GREEN!

If you decide, an even easier method, is to just Odin the latest TWRP, and flash the SuperSU zip, in via TWRP. Shouldn't take more than 20 or 30 seconds, for everything.

Where can i find the stock recovery to flash?

Does that give root or do you need to Odin cf-autoroot first?

After you Odin TWRP, boot into TWRP, and flash the latest SuperSU zip, from Chainfire (Google it). You will then be stock, rooted-- no need for CF Autoroot.

Why is the sm-n910p with 5.1.1 seem to be root proof?

I am relatively new to rooting and bought a used sprint note 4 with 5.1.1 cog5 update already installed, and have been waiting around for one of the universal root programs like oneclickroot to drop a root for it, but it never happens. I heard the new security in 5.1.1 is making it impossible? Is there any work arounds? I have seen a couple homebrews show up that seem questionable and limited. Anyone who is knowledgeable is welcome, but please no "newb just read" comments. Those are rarely helpful.

Funny, after owning this phone for about a year I decided to root yesterday being 100% stock and on OG5. First flash TWRP using ODIN, then install beastmode via TWRP to begin. TWRP will ask after to install superSU, install it. So far I'm using xposed and wish I had done this sooner! Sorry for the lack of details but I'm on mobile right now.

Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Battery Drain

First off, I am a newbie here, so please be kind.
I have a Samsung Galaxy Note 4 (SM-N910V), running Android 6.0.1 stock Verizon ROM.
I have been getting some strange battery issues. Not charging to 100%, shutting off at 35%, stuff like that.
I have wiped the cache partition and done a factory reset with no luck.
I have replaced the battery.
When I boot into recovery mode, I get dead Android, no command.
I don't know if the problems are related, but I suspect so.
Don't know what else to do. Any help would be appreciated.

Do you have an unlocked bootloader (root)? You could try reflashing twrp with odin to get recovery back.

No, not rooted. Have always been afraid to brick the device. If that is the direction that I have to go then I will give it a shot. I figure there are enough directions on here I could probably figure it out.

If you don't want to root, you could try flashing the cpd1 firmware with odin and that should overwrite what might be throwing off your battery calibration. Unless it's a hardware problem that is. Are you comfortable using odin? Also if you have no interest in rooting, you could flash the most recent firmware.

I am a little familiar with Odin. I used it to put Android 6.0.1 onto my phone. Cpd1? This is the first that I am hearing (or reading) anything about cpd1. I would be interested in rooting, the biggest problem that I have with doing so is that most of the instructions that I have found are written for someone who has a better grasp of this stuff that I do. Do you know of any simple step-by-step walkthroughs? One that a newbie like myself could actually follow.
From what I've read about rooting, I am definitely interested, but still paranoid about bricking the phone. I do have an S5 as a backup if need be, so I am reluctantly willing to give it a shot.

I was just referring to the first mm firmware that ends with cpd1 and the reason I suggested that particular one was just in case you were thinking of rooting. If you use any of the "safe" firmwares you should be ok though. I agree about the rooting process, it's not the most user friendly thing I've ever seen, but it really isn't as bad as it looks. As long as your using the files provided in those threads there really isn't a huge risk in bricking your phone. Worst case scenario, you get into a jam that takes a little while to get out of so be sure that you leave yourself time to recover in case you can't use your phone for a couple hours. I think the worst part is the instability of kingroot which means you have to do all the adb commands as quick as possible and the fact that if you want mm you have to do the root process twice. These are the two posts that got me through it:
Lollipop
Marshmallow
Start with Lp first, it's necessary to unlock that before going to mm. If your problem is software related, installing the firmwares to root should fix things. Best of luck!

First off, thanks for your help. I appreciate it.
I finally got around to trying to do this with my phone and I can't even get past the first step. Install King Root, 4.8.5. I've tried 4.8.5 and 5.0, and neither one of them can get root access. Don't know what else to try.

Did you ever have any luck with kingroot? If you haven't tried already, do a factory reset before you start the process and if it fails uninstall, reboot, reinstall and try again. I know it's a frustrating process and it seems to take most people many tries. When it fails on you how far does it get?

Kingroot was really frustrating. It would never get past 52%. After countless tries I moved to kingoroot. Kingo root worked on first try. Glad I unlocked and rooted my note 4

No luck on Kingroot. It usually dies around 25% or so. Sometimes a little before that and sometimes after that. It never even got into the 35% range.
What I think I am going to do is go back to kitkat, original samsung rom. Try Kingoroot and see if that works. If not, I will push lolipop to it and try kingoroot again. If that doesn't work, I will try to push Marshmallow to it and try one more time. Hopefully one of them will be successful.

Ive never had issues bringing a device back on OS but this N4 is kicking my a&% bad. bought a used ( basically new ) sm-n910v it was updated to 6.0.1 mm and I'm not crazy about the MM I like KK and ive tried every firmware file known to man ive tried to slowly step back from 6.0 to 5.1.1 then 5.0 then 4.4.4 and they all fail says binary fused to boot 1 or something else and with 5.1.1 gets right to the end 99% then fails. would like to root and BL unlock any suggestions would be great. thanx in advance.

I believe you can only get root on kk with a developer edition version of the v model. If it's a retail version and you want root it has to be at least 5.1.1 unfortunately. Have you tried the links in this post? Imo those are the best guides that I've seen to get your bootloader unlocked.

Yah I've tried most of them 5.1.1 gets to 98% then pooches out its exciting then bombs out, lol 4.4 doesn't get passed cache then fails. I'm using Odin 30.9, high quality data cable, thing is I can't move 》 till I can root to unlock the bootloader. My CID is 150 so that's good and I'm factory resetting the phone and pulling the SD card so it cannot mess with the flash. I'm running the NO_ A boot firmware that flashed perfect. Maybe I'm doing something wrong but I'm following the directions to the point.

I'll give it a shot, right now I'm a Lil burned out on trying this because my other phone LG g4 is boot looped for no reason so I'm down to just my N4 and my N3 my gf has it. I forsee a big cup of coffee at 3am and let the flashing begin. Oh FYI I did try I think Odin 3.10 version it failed quicker so I'll try this version in the morning. I appreciate your help very much you'll be the 1st to know if it pushes through. Merry Christmas btw.

back on topic, I'm seeing kernel wakelocks for msm_hsic_host on Oscar kernel v1.3 but I'm pretty sure that was not always the case. Since that kernel hasn't been updated in a little while, I'm looking at others. Anyone got a preferred kernel with JasmineROM 7?

What I've noticed with this bootloader unlock is, like right now I'm 5.1.1 and my bootloader is unlocked but not rooted. OK if I use the the no A boot 6.0.1 file to flash mm it's stay unlocked and you can be rooted but if you use the normal full firmware 6.0.1 cpd1 file you lose your unlocked BL and back to start. Normally you unlock a BL it's stays unlocked no matter what you do. OK bugs with the no A boot 6.0.1 mm file no WiFi that's it. I really dislike 5.1.1 it sucks so there's not a lot of choices here. Good work on this exploit though.

Rooting Quetion

I just purchased a Galaxy Note 4 in mint condition, because I'm not happy with my S 7 Edge, so this will be my daily driver, a I can't stand not having a rootable phone.. Ya this is a few yrs old, but it seems like it still has roms available.. I had a Verizon Note 4 and used the international roms, and still have them... Was there any issue with rooting after it went to 6.0 Marshmellow? I believe this phone will come shipped with it..

No issues I've ever heard of. Just flash twrp with Odin. Then flash supersu. Assuming from your post count you need no help with that.
And of course, if you use international rom, you might need a data fix for your service.

Thanks, Ya I know how to root, but like anything else, I like to check from time to time, when dealing with another phone I have not had.. Ya I had a Verizon Note 4, but that was a pure pain in the aers.. LOL. IfI would have checked before buying the S 7 Edge, I would not have spent the money... Ya I still have some files for the international rom Dr. Keaton, I used for the Verizon Note 4 and also still have the data fix.. But I'm thinking of trying one of the many roms just for Sprint. Thanks looking forward to getting this phone in my hands around the 31 of this month..

Supposedly sometime before Christmas, which should be very soon, a lot of people are anticipating the arrival of @tx_dbs_tx N7 port rom. He's suppose to release it soon. He only releases very stable roms. Im sure it'll be very great.
But until then, if you like high customizable rom, you should try Dtux rom here on sprint thread. And if you like aosp, we have cm14 working pretty damn good and stable. It's on the verizon thread but works for all.
Enjoy your new old note 4, still the best phone money can buy.

I don't use sprint service, but I would definitely setup and activate phone on pure stock, make sure everything works.
Then once you install twrp, I'd also make a complete stock backup (at least boot,system,efs,modem). Or use something like Flashfire by chainfire to backup partitions. Especially all the EFS partition. Keep it somewhere for safe keeping.
I don't know what kind of modding your going to do, but having a working backup is very helpful.
Then you can do what you want. But yes activate on pure stock, cause that's gonna setup your efs partition correctly and other stuff. Plus some custom roms don't have the Sprint activation software in them.

Finally got my Note 4 it is activated, but need a new sim, because the one Best buy sold me is not compatible. Now my question this one comes with 5.1.1 N910PVPU4C0G5. Is the root method for this the same as arron answered in post 2. Just checking..
I do not see a TWRP for the Note 4 other than the edge, what is the deal.

If you follow the Note 4 Qualcomm path: trlte, you'll find the one for Sprint Note 4.
https://dl.twrp.me/trltespr/twrp-3.0.2-0-trltespr.img.tar
The one above is for Odin flashing in download mode. Use the AP slot but uncheck auto reboot in Odin options. You'll need to wait for your success, 0 fail then pull USB and battery and wait at least 30 seconds. If your initial boot after TWRP flash isn't recovery, you'll end up with stock recovery when you boot there later. It won't stick.
Keep in mind that root methods are same for both lollipop and marshmallow but updating will remove root in most cases, especially using suggested methods. With that in mind, get to the right update before you root. If you're flashing a custom ROM, you don't have to root first; custom ROMs include root.
As already mentioned, make your appropriate backups.

Ok finally got root. Now to debloat this stock rom or install another..

Just bought a xiaomi mi 10t lite. Some questions...

Hello!!
As the title says, I have just bought a xaomi MI 10t lite. Absolutely wonderful phone in my opinion.
Always root my phones but simply consider skipping it this time.
But if I would like to do it anyway, I have some questions.
1. Is it difficult to root this device?
2. Which rum would you recommend? I want a fast phone that works well to play with. It does not matter if it takes a lot of batteries.
3. Read a bit and saw there were lots of tools. Which tools are best to use, it does not happen that xiaomi has been so forward-thinking that they create their own software to do this?
Have a good night my fellow geeks!
//knorrigbollen Sweden
Edit: sorry haven't learned to write on the phone yet so had to edit some spelling screw ups.

I haven't looked into rooting this device yet. I don't know how many rom's are currently developed for this phone but I would recommend xiaomi.eu stable rom.
The only hurdle is unlocking the bootloader, you need to use unlock tool provided by Xiaomi. The unlock tool comes with a wait time, I had to wait for about ~2 weeks before I could unlock but wait time can vary. After unlocking the bootloader it's pretty much basic adb procedures and install script's to flash a rom.
I'm just starting to look into TWRP for this device, looks like it's still being developed but should be ready to use.
Just check out the guide's you can find online during your unlock waiting time and you should be golden. Greetings from your neighbor ~FIN

Root only if its absolutely necessary
No rom for this device has been cooked yet, even in the future stick to stock rom for stablity and relaiblity.
Tools to use?
check XiaoMiTool & XiaomiADBFastbootTools

@Knorrigbollen
1. easy to root, just unlock the bootloader, patch stock boot.img from Magisk Manager and flash it in fastboot. No TWRP required (even if it's available).
2. stock ROM is nice, once you remove/block most of MIUI apps. No ads, no tracking, responsive, next to no bugs. Personally I see absolutely no reason to switch to another ROM, I appreciate included Google apps.
3. you need to use Xiaomi tool to unlock the bootloader (where you need to wait 2 weeks to be able to do that). You can use this nice GUI to "debloat" MIUI apps https://github.com/Szaki/XiaomiADBFastbootTools, but standard Android fastboot/adb tools work very well.

Personally I'm loving the MIUI, it has some great features, they thought of a lot of little things. I too always root my devices but this time I have not. I would only do a basic root using Magisk/TWRP official when/if it comes out so that I can mod my apps/games and block ads etc.

Yes I agree you. I will also wait until Magisk or TWRP is released. In my case I want to get rid of some pre-installed system apps.

Magisk is working on this device since release of the phone and TWRP has been released a couple of weeks ago as well. There is not much left to wait for..

oh that is really good to hear!
Well I am back into android now for 1 month, I used to root back in 2017 my Huawei p9 lite and in 2015 my Samsung Galaxy S3. Now I dont know how to start with, cause my last phone was iPhone 7 (yea, shame on me; Jailbreak is nothing to compare with root). Is there a good step by step instruction of how to root my phone?
Thanks in advance; greetings from Germany and sorry for mistkaes in spelling.

My preferred way:
1. unlock the bootloader
2. patch your own boot.img (or use one from this topic https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/root-stock-and-magisk-patched-boot-images.4201597/)
3. hotboot patched boot.img and install Magisk from Magisk manager (this will create a backup of stock boot image, which will come in handy for OTA updates)
4. that's it
P.S. you will have two weeks waiting period for the bootloader unlocking, so plenty of time to read how Magisk/systemless mods work now

Not officially it's not. Until I see it listed as supported here: https://twrp.me/Devices/Xiaomi/ with reports of it being functional I'm not touching unofficial. I see reports on that one posted with various issues.

That's of course completely up to you. On my previous phones I had issues even with "official" TWRP which never got fixed. Unofficial or custom builds were usually more stable for me and obviously available much faster than the official build.
Anyway, the fact is, that Magisk is out since day 1 and TWRP was released unofficially recently, so anyone who want's to do some modding is free to go. TWRP for rooting is optional and I personally don't use it at all.

The TWRP looks weird but it's completely fine, used unofficial builds on most of my devices and they've been better than official ones. I get your point though

it should be official now..
I am in kind of same situation. I bought a mi10t lite from amazon, once it arrived home I noticed that it is vodafone brand with old miu and security version update..
I want an official europe version and block again the phone in order to have everything like original.
I applied for the xiaomi official unlock but it will take at least a week..
Any way to do it NOW ?
Thanks,
D.

Nope, none of the methods/tips for quick unlock are working, you just have to wait. Also I would advise to use the phone a little during the waiting time to avoid further delay in unlocking (I read many reports mentioning longer waiting times when they kept their phone in the drawer for the whole week).
