You are already being helped on another thread, so I am going to consider this done.
By the way, under our names is a "Thanks" button. Feel free to click that if someone helps you.
Going to close this thread since you're being helped elsewhere. No need to have the same discussion in 2 different places.
Can someone please help me with this. I bought 2 of these phones at the same time in august, one was already rooted from the factory! No problem I'm using lucky patcher and all. The other will not root not matter what I do! I cant find any solid info on this.

How do you have a rooted AT&T Note 5 when no one else does yet?

Bought it that way from AT&T... Is there a way to clone one phone to the other so they are both rooted? Maybe I can copy my phone to a zip and upload it?

Can you screen shot your kernel information in settings and then about phone so I can see what it says for the rooted kernel. And copying the entire system to use it on the other phone is possible. Just depends on certain things.
I guess I should of bought a rooted one myself...........
think that no one has the root yet on this phone, so, pay attention to the instructions that forum masters will give to you. You could be a HERO for the entire Sm-n920a community and users hahahah. Btw, i don't know your knowledge about this things but yes, is possible to do this. Obvious, when someone of the biggest users will teach you how to do what you need, you could share the system clone with us!
Not to mention there's a big donation for anyone that finds a root method. So if you really have a rooted at&t note 5 there could be money coming your way.

Where's this donation? We are close, also luckypatcher works WITHOUT root. Technically we already have root, it just sucks really bad.

I could of sworn I seen a bounty for the n920a like a year ago, but now I'm not finding anything. I should look before I comment apparently. However, much respect TechNyne66. I've been following you working a root method for a while now, and great job on being close.
@TechNyne66 It looks like he been out of the game for awhile, but try to contact Dan Rosenberg aka djrbliss. If anyone can help, he can.

Do you have a username? I got another member to join in again who says he knows how to complie kernels with ease. So lets hope this gets going! Everything is layed out we just need to get the code written. Remember anything is possible when you put you're mind to it, but this is with code. Kexec has worked in the past for locked bootloaders so I don't see why my notes in theory but plausible.

I shall look into it.
Can we get a system dump of your partitions? We just need your kernel zImage and I can put it together.
I'd really like to see a dump of the system partition.
Follow a guide a make a full system dump of your rooted phone and then make a nandroid backup.
Upload it to us and we can make a clone. Please!
If you have a real full root. We need your system dump to unlock at&t and Verizon both.

Chill bro I'm working on getting it from him. I've seen accident eng phones released by Samsung before so maybe it happened again.
There's no root for AT&T Note 5 SM-N920A if you are running Marshmallow with the Nov security update! If you are on this version you are screwedededed!!!! I tried every type of way to install firmwares PH4 ==> PH2 and I tried every version of firmware I could find on this planet. I have tried OGG. I have tried crashing my installation, then trying to downgrade.
Long story short; If you have an unlocked SM-N920A running Android 6.01 with Nov Security Patch I will definitely be donating to you if you upload. If you aren't a member of this forum I promise you that you are safe. The guys here will help you make a copy of the firmware which will not include your personal information. (Look for the guys with lots of Thanks, listen to them)
So if you are coming in from Google and you are wondering if you can root or downgrade now you know that you can't. I'm a beginner Android Developer who follows directions like a champion, save your time trying to downgrade it is fully blocked by the bootloader.
unlocked SM-920A upload coming soon

That doesn't always work quite right. I just flashed stock firmware and updated. Finally got the September security patch. I'll upload flashables of the imgs and make a flashable ROM later on.
Does anybody else find it weird that the signal indicator has reverted back to the KitKat style... I don't get why they changed it, looks so dated.
But it is nice that you guys finally got the BlueBorne patch, next up should be the KRACK patch - fingers crossed.

Would you mind doing the same for the retail (XT1768) variant? Flashing back to stock didn't help in my case. I got the same "status 7" error as another person here. I looked at the update's updater-script, but not being conversant with the particular script language I didn't want to take the chance. Failing that, you can just tell me the correct way to edit the script file. "Blur_Version.26.11.46.perry.retail.en.US.zip" is linked below.

Sorry. Changed my mind, I'm not posting anything anymore. A user I see in another thread makes my want to go get a different phone now that he's around here. He's a giant douche. I think I'm going to keep to myself. Have fun guys.
Can any someone that has installed the ota do me a favor and pull the modem.xx files from /firmware and possible the fsg from /fsg, I''d like to build cm with them but i can't install the ota at this point I have working lte on lineage and im not screwing that up heh.
Maybe this will make it easier for others to get lte on lineage.

Here's the new modem.img and fsg.mbn
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=745849072291693264
I suppose I'll make a flashable of the rest of it when I have time. I think it would be safer to just pull all the imgs of everything that was patched so it would be sort of like a twrp flashable stock firmware. I don't want to see anyone's phone get bricked. There were a lot of patches. I'll see..
If anyone else gets the idea to flash this, it might not work with the old rom. The old modem doesn't work with the new update.

Nice. A little bigger and heavier with a fp sensor.

@CodyF86 I just found some missing libs that I don't know how I missed before. They very well may be the solution. I'll test it out, but will need someone with an activated device to know for sure if it works because I activated my E4 Plus. I should know if I see Boost Mobile for the carrier though. I'll have something to test before the day is over.
Edit: scratch that, turns out they were all there after all. Damnit!

Hey everyone!
I sideloaded the 8.1 update from Google and I don't see HDCalling available for it. I'm a user on AT&T with an unlocked phone. Can anyone help with this? Was I not suppose to sideload it to get the feature?
Thank you!

Forgot to update on this. I only had to clear cache and restart after the 8.1 update for this to work. However, for those who don't have this option still, this means that AT&T doesn't have your pixel as your main device. Just call and switch it over by giving them you IMEI number, then restart your phone and it will work.
Cheers, and thanks!
Odd things could prevent this from operating. I wasn't getting it but found out it was because I had 'Smart Limits' turned on. They had to remove that, and you also need to make sure you don't have 'basic' voicemail.. Those are 2 things I know for a fact that will keep VoLTE from working. But now that they cleared Smart Limits, I have VoLTE everywhere! Good luck!

I just rooted the new android 11 update.
The only difference from android 10 is you should now use the newest magisk v23 rather than the older one
I followed this guide exactly except skipped all the magisk workaround stuff and just used the latest version of the magisk app to patch the boot.img

To be honest with you, I don't know if this will work for At&t, it might but I don't have the at&t model so I cannot verify for you. You can try flashing via adb sideload in recovery and see but non of us are responsible if things don't work lol

After a bit of experimentation I managed to get it to work. Although you can't just `add sideload` it since the verification will fail. You'll have to unlock the bootloader and dd some partitions manually. Then once it thinks it's the global variant you can `add sideload`. I made a thread about it https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/turn-at-t-into-a-the-global-variant.4393631/
