If you bought your phone from a Verizon store then you have a Retail version of the Note 4. The Developer Edition of the Note can only be purchased (new) from Samsung. There currently is no way to root the retail version of the Note 4.

Has anyone tried giefroot? I tried it on my Note 4, but it doesn't work since the kernel is too new. Did anyone with the old firmware try it?

I'd wager most of my earnings that there isn't many methods that haven't been looked into at this point. When something works there will probably be an explosion within the community that you won't be able to avoid even if you try... But, I'm happy to see others enthusiastic about finding the necessary info.
Hi all.
I'm sporting a Galaxy S3 and I believe it's time for an upgrade. I've been considering the Note 4 and it looks like a great phone. I was wondering, however, which version I should get. I'm on AT&T and the price for the phone is $845. I looked around a bit and unlocked versions of this phone are about $550. I would get the benefit of mobile insurance, should I want it, from AT&T, and maybe some support with them if the unit is faulty for some reason. But I'm not sure if it's worth the price difference. Why are the prices so different? And what are the differences between the AT&T version and the unlocked version?
Thank you in advance.
I'm happy with the Note 4 on AT&T, even without root, but if you can hold out, there's rumor that the Note 5 will drop in July. Also rumored is that it will have SD card slot.
Remember, the AT&T version is still unable to be permanently rooted nearly 9 months after release, so if that matters to you, stay away from it.
Just curious... What are some Rootable Phones for Verizon with Custom Rom support? I'm looking to move on from the Note 4.. What do you guys Recommend? Thanks
Majority of phones are escpecially flagship devices look up the model with the word root at the end make sure whatever u find is for your model and your Android version then follow root instructions EXACTLY

Stay away from the Note 4. Its locked down tight, there will be no root.
Keep an eye on this thread and you could possibly buy a Note 4 Developer Edition. You'd have to buy it outright but it'd be worth it. That's how I got mine. If you buy from Verizon or another retail outlet you'll end up paying full price over time anyway. There is no better phone than the N4DE.

Not really useful. The majority have HAD root on lower firmware, ie: note 3.
What would be useful to know is what phones have MAINTAINED root throughout all OTA.
Locked bootloadet is a different story. Almost impossible with all phones after Note 2.

I abandoned 5 verizon lines over the VZW note 4
In my area of the country, T-mobile signal is great, and all their flagships are rootable/rom-able, even the ones that dont have root on other carriers (ATT, Sprint). Note 5 is rooted, rommed on T-mo, not on VZW. I am really sorry to see that; all my old pals after 10 years on verizon are locked out of their phones. I couldn't stand it anymore.
I hope things work out for you. Some folks can't easily switch; or dont want to, and I'm not trying to sell a fanboy stance- just sharing what I had to do to get what I actually wanted to pay for.

I hear you. With five UDP lines, Verizon has me around its pinky. I must play its game, and bend over and take its locked down phones, as they have me addicted to their LTE crack and unlimited hotspot.
Nexus phones, DE phones, and XDA are the silver lining.
Once UDP gets officially killed, it's off to an MVNO.
But here is my list of known rootable phones:
GS3 on latest firmware
Note 2 on latest firmware (4.4.2)
Note 3 ONLY prior to 4.4.4
GS5 on 5.0 (need to downgrade to KK)
And phones I have with NO root.
Note 4 on any firmware
Note 5
V10
Note 3 on 4.4.4

I think it goes without saying that DE and Pure phones are rootable.
I think a list of retail phones with root is what this thread should be about.

I'm in the same boat brother. I've tried the v10 but I'm addicted to Viper4Android and do pentesting. Root is a mandatory for me.
The thing that pisses me off about Verizon is I should be able to use my Hardware to its full capacity and potential given that I paid for the Hardware in full and I'm not on a monthly payment plan. I think Verizon's rationale is for customer safety, however people who know how to root their phone know how to protect their phone. I can compare it to Cable television.... I refuse to buy Cable because I don't want to pay to watch advertisements. I think it's absurd that these companies can charge you for data or television and then use your own money in way that you did not approve of. Its like bloat for phones or popup advertisements from verizon to buy more upgrades/roadside freaking assistance. I didn't approve of my data to be used by verizon to sell me stuff. My usage in terms of the things transmitted to my phone should be a one way street... nothing should come to my phone that I didn't ask for including Verizon's various pop up services for premium voicemail excetera.
In my opinion its unauthorized use of the things that I paid for and I own. And its stupid that I cant utilize my 600 dollar phone to its potential when I've paid for all services software and hardware.
but Verizon's full of a bunch of sh!t heads anyways that's why either workers are on strike.

This would be good info if it was updated as Verizon phones gain root. I have the Moto Z, bought it before checking XDA, now i'm kicking myself in the ass! Sad thing though, is none of the other Verizon phones even appealed to me, minus the LG G5, but that one i don't think even has root yet either.
I have the LG v10 and rooted but no bootload3r unlock. Now that the note 4 is rootable and the bootload3r can be unlocked, I'm scrapping my v10 and buying the note 4 retail.

Note 4 king of the verizon hill for power users hands down.
For rooting and bootloader unlocking there isn't a Verizon phone better suited than the Nexus 6P. Better than the note 4.

Maybe. But I can replace my battery, insert a SD card and have the S-Pen. The Nexus 6P will get Nougat and whatever will follow while the Note 4 will only get security updates.

Nexus 6p will only get whatever update you allow it. I never take updates when I root. Plus I never stay with the stock ROM. I use CM13. With the Nexus having 128gb of space there's no issues with space but I will agree it needs a swappable battery.
Any root for note 7....

Is that a rhetorical question? The phone hasn't even been released mate, except for Dubai. Try again in a month at minimum.
These threads are funny?

Any Reason to Expect a Root Solution for a Verizon Note 7?
How about a hypothetical discussion about rooting until then?
I'm on a family plan with Verizon and I don't plan on switching carriers. Does anyone think it's worth me waiting to see if an unlocked/international/developer edition will be released in the coming months that would work on VZW and would be more likely to get a root exploit over the carrier-locked version?
If I pre-order the Verizon version now, I get it next week and I'll get a free 256 GB SD card with it. But I'll be kicking myself if two months later a developer edition or something comes along that would actually work on VZW.
I'd easily wait and pass up the free 256 GB card if it meant that I had a better chance of seeing root someday. Anyone have an opinion on buying now versus waiting?

Nobody knows if, or when the Note 7 will be rooted. I don't think we can expect a root within 3 months, but that's just me. By the time you wait, you might as well just go for the S8
I expect the N930U edition to be released about a month after the carrier release, which might be rootable but I don't expect anything soon. Especially since Samsung claimed they would update their phones to 7.0 within 2-3 months. Why would anyone release an exploit, only to have it patched with a new OS so soon?

Good points. But I'm big fan of the S-pen... If not this Note, then I'd be waiting for the Note 8. I could play that game forever.

Verizon and AT&T versions are the biggest problems. The note 5 and 4 were rooted for a year.
They are all problems since the s7 and s7edge as all Carrier phones were bootloader locked.... They have root now but no bootloader unlock fyi

Hello everyone. I apologies if this has been asked already.
I have a note 3 with verizon wireless and they make it hard for rooting devices or even a unlocked bootloader. Im grandfather in with the unlimited plan and would like to keep it. I wanted to know which model or variant of the note 7 should i purchase in order to be able to root and hopefully unlock the bootloader since verizon will lock the bootloader. In the note 3 CID needed to be tinkered with or you needed a developer edition phone. So far i dont see any sign of a developer edition phone. Please any advice is welcome and apppreciated. Thank you for your answers.
No word on root or unlocked boot loader. It may take a year. I have unlimited as well of you go to best buy you can pre order note 7 and don't have to pay all upfront you can do 36 bucks a month for 24 months, just need 50 dollar down payment they give you on a gift card. Also you get either a free 256 gb SD card or gear fit 2. There are no varients only 64gb note 7 verizon.

The s7 took a year and its not a easy or problem free way to root. I think the US variant will be locked down!! International maybe an option.
