Root problem - Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Here is alot reports of cf-autoroot and cwm/twrp rooting methods doesn't work in SM-N910F. Does anyone know what is going on? I believe new software update is problem(not 5.0.1).

They work fine. Have done for me at least.

i tried to root my stock n910f with kitkat.
apparently the cf-autoroot was for 5.01 lollipop, result.. a soft brick (it could be my usb cable to tough becouse it was broken and sometimes it disconnects the phone)
so after that i got a new cable and flashed the stock lollipop rom from sammobile.
now im running lollipop and i think i am goin to try root it today
if you look at chainfires page, the cf-autoroot file is for 5.01

1- swithoff your galaxy grand 2
2- power on to download mode( volumedown+download+power)
3- open Odin choose NH6 tar file.
4-(most important) unmark auto Reboot, mark F. Reset time & Nand Erase All & phone bootloader update & phone EFS clear. see attached image
5-connect your grand 2 to your pc it will be shown in odin like com?
6-start odin to flash NH6 to your grand 2
7-when odin finish don't reboot just remove battery for 20 sec.
8- re-insert battery and power on in recovery mode( volume up+home+power)

In short ,i have rooted my device N910F , from day one that Lollipop ( German vers DBT ) was released .i used CF auto version, i used on Android v 4.4.4, no problem ,i also flashed custom recovery using old version of CWM ,i used in 4.4.4.

hi ,
same procedure as root ,you flash it with Odin ( place phone in download mode ,connect to pc ( Odin ) etc.
.Just make sure it is correct version for your phone.
I suggest you research/Google a bit and check YouTube for a video.
I have N910F ,rooted ,CWM ,lollipop v5.0.1 ,stock Rom .
I have rooted ,flashed CWM , many times over the past months ( since October 2014 when Note 4 was released)
Worked 100%but you must know what you are doing ..!

[Q] N9100 China Dual Sim ROOT for 5.1.1

I just updated my phone to OK1 firmware running on 5.1.1. This si the China variant and not hong kong. I was wondering if there is a working root for this firmware? I've tried the CF auto root of the 4.4.4 version but it sends me into a bootloop. I've searched everywhere but can't find anything. Any help will be appreciated.
I can't root N9100 android 5.1.1 (N9100ZCU1COK1) by root file CF-Auto-Root-trltechn-trlteduoszc-smn9100.zip for android 4.4.4.
Then is there no way to root for that firmware?
anyone? desperately need Gapps on my phone right now...
Hi. I have installed an aurora rom with version 5.1.1 N9100ZCU1COK1 and I'm rooted. But I just kept the root that I had before updating so I didn't use CF-Auto-Root or anything else this time... have you tried kingroot?

If your n4 is sm-n9100, bought from China, you can directly flash TGY n9100 rom, I got my n4 couple days before(SM-N9100, trlteduoszh), original rom is China version: N9100CHC1COK1-5.1.1, then just download TGY rom, N9100ZZH1BOF2, which is the latest TGY rom, android version: 5.0.1. After odin flash, do doubble wipe, then everythings just fine. like the orignial hongkong N9100, of casuse you get the stock google apps.
I got ota information yesterday, tgy rom got update to N9100ZHU1COL2-5.1.1, I'm not sure to do update, cos I'd heard 5.1.1 won't get root for the new "reactivation lock" issue, anyone have experience of root your tgy 5.1.1?
Chainfire has a new autoroot for N9100 5.1.1. You can download it HERE

Check post #60 in THIS thread.
SM-N9100 runing Adroid 5.1.1 rooted successfully.
I followed the following link and successfully rooted mine without any problems.
(sorry. I'm not allowed to post an outside link. Google "How to root Samsung Galaxy Note 4 SM-N9100 Android Lollipop 5.1.1" and you should be able to find the article on recovery-mode.com)
Good luck!
I recently bought N9100 in china and then I flashed my new phone with the latest stock rom N9100ZHS1CPE1 (Hongkong) android 5.1.1 via odin. Worked perfectly. No issues.

Thanks for your reply rjma, I had 6.0.1 and I used CF-Auto-Root for 6.0.1 to root but it didn't work, it got stuck on boot screen with some errors. That's why I downgraded to 5.1.1 because 6.0.1 doesn't have google appps.

I eventually rooted the phone and it's too easy to be true. I downloaded it's specific twrp, flashed it via Odin without the battery so it won't boot up after flashing, then boot into twrp recovery and flashed SuperSU.

N9100 only supports B7, it does not support B2 and B4. And this is the reason why you get a weak signal (B7 is high frequency with poor coverage).
Using the custom recovery posted above I managed to get root. just boot in download mode and remove the battery after that, flash twrp recovery from above link with odin (you can make a flashable .tar.md5 yourself or just use this one:
https://mega.nz/#!xNslVYLa!zDQdqxVyam7H2Q8xzvZnyQ7DyhPqy2jgs1TE1fLEJjo
. put the battery back in and boot into recovery, copy the supersu.zip (I used the latest one from this link: https://download.chainfire.eu/1012/SuperSU/SR3-SuperSU-v2.78-SR3-20161103171345.zip?retrieve_file=1 , but you can use the latest one). Flash it and reboot normally. Don't let twrp root your phone (it will ask you to root when you select "reboot system" from recovery, just select don't install root, or something like this).
Note that the above rooting method worked for the latest 5.1.1 firmware (from 10 October 2016) for Hong-Kong, PDA N9100ZHU1CPI3, CSC N9100ZZH1CPI3.
You can download the firmware from here: http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/download/102145/N9100ZHU1CPI3_N9100ZZH1CPI3_TGY/
Also, that firmware fixed some rotation issues I had with the previous one.

I deactivate "reactivation lock" in security tab .and its work . I root it in 10 sec.
But i still have a question can rooting by cf auto root allows me to instal costum roms?!!
Yes and no .
A custom recovery is also required .
The simplest way to install a custom ROM would be to install TWRP via Odin. Installing via Odin does not require root access.
Thanks guys for helping me and I'm sorry for late reply I was in vacation ..everything is good now I rooted it very well and installed twrp ,I start using CyanogenMod 12.1 and it work well .I tried first cm 13 but it has issues like no sound in calls I tried to find solution for that but didn't work . so I installed cm 12.1 and I didn't noticed much differences between them so I'm happy with this cm 12.1 . thanks Again ur the best. Cheers.
