[Guide] SM-N9200 HK version note 5 root - Galaxy Note5 General

[Introduction]
I am from Hong Kong and I am new in xda forum. Hopefully my English may not confuse you XD!
Please note that no Deep Sleep problem after root. Everything works fine.
Ref. Source: http://apk.tw/thread-706898-1-1.html
The files that need to use were from the owner of the above post.
Thank you for providing useful files to him!
[How to root]
Step:
1. Install "CROM_Service unlock.apk" in your note 5 and open it to unlock your note 5 device. It is a must. And then this apk can be uninstalled.
2. Make sure OEM unlock is also enabled as well.
3. Boot your note 5 into Download Mode & connect to PC
3. Flash "SM-N9200_root.tar" with Odin 3.10.7 in [AP]
4. After boot: Rooted note 5 and SuperSu installed as well!

I'm not trying to discredit this guy, but I would proceed with caution guys. When a apk is involved, things can get a little risky.

It sound good

What/who is the source of these files? People should know before installing/flashing them. Also, if you aren't the original source, then xda rules require you to give credit to the party who did the work.

Firstly, I saw a post in this forum:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/note5/help/sm-n9200-hk-version-root-t3197369#post63047289
You can see the owner of the post are requesting the way to root his N9200.
And then, I saw the first reply from Willyman who found a link that could help root N9200 device.
As I know Chinese because I come from Hong Kong, and I need to root my N9200 as well.
So I ask him the steps of rooting N9200 device.
After that, I tried it and eventually successful.
Finally, I just share my experience to share the way of rooting N9200 to all of you now.
Believe it or not, I have no need to lie.
Now I think it is wasting my time to open a new thread for the guide of rooting N9200 in here.
So unrespectful ! Why do some people try to doubt for my help?

this reads/appears to be a similar process i used to root my SM-N9208. the CROM apk is actually a Samsung app available from the Samsung store; i believe it's needed to unlock the bootloader. i had to flash a root kernel as well but i believe the one i used was for the 9208. nonetheless, when done, my 9208 was rooted, TWRP installed, and xposed installed and running on the stock odexed ROM. risky, yes... , but it's working so far...

yes, it works for me so I post here in order to help who those in need.
I also installed xposed framework that is unofficial xposed v74 arm64 version.
Everything works perfectly!

I will try later.
Just one question, can I install teamwork recovery before/after the procedure. I would really like to back up before trying to root my lovely phone. Already did back up in SmartSwitch, but afraid something will go wrong if its not official.
Also, I don't jump on this root thing because I'm afraid there won't be any Roms for this version, and I really want to try android 6 when it comes...

Of course you can install TWRP before or after root because I've tried it before.
After I rooted my note 5, I installed xposed framework using TWRP and incrediblely successful.

In American culture (and XDA is an American forum), it's disrespectful not to give credit to others when using their work. That's one reason (among others) for #12 of the forum rules:
12. Using the work of others.
If you are developing something that is based on the work of another Member, you MUST first seek their permission and you must give credit to the member whose work you used. If a dispute occurs about who developed / created a piece of work, first try to settle the matter by private message and NOT in open forum. If this fails, you may then contact a Moderator and provide clear evidence that the work was created by you.
Convincing evidence will result in the copied work being removed. If there is no clear evidence that it was you who created the work, then in the spirit of sharing, all work will remain posted on the forums.
As an addition, developers have the right to hold exclusivity over their work for as long as it is deemed necessary by that developer. However, if the work is claimed as exclusive, it must remain as such. No selective sharing will be allowed (ie, allowing certain people to use it and not others). If the developer decides to start sharing the work with others, the work automatically becomes available for all to use, albeit with the relevant credit displayed.
When permission has already been given, unless there is a very valid reason, it cannot be revoked (same applies to major updates on the work). Under that same premise, permissions cannot be denied unless the work is exclusive or under extreme circumstances.
In plain English: If you want to keep your work exclusive, go for it. However, if you are going to share your work, do it fairly.
Reposted content, derivative or maintaned works based on that of former or banned members may be removed at our discretion.
These rules apply to all software posted on XDA (including but not limited to ROMs, RUUs, apps, games, kernels, themes, icons, etc) unless that software comes with a license that waives these rules.
Respect the forum rules and nobody will doubt your intentions.

Ok, I've got the permission already from "him" and so now I am trying to help only.
Thank you!

HUUUUUUUGE THANKS! my N9200 is coming today or tomorrow and didn't know if I'll have root.
Where can I find TWRP?
Thank You!

I don't have the HK version of the phone, but wanted to take a moment to call out @Tomleungyuethei with my thanks for contributing to the community. Normally, I'd just whack the "thanks" button, but seeing a newer XDA member (or at least one with so few posts) contribute is nice, and I'm willing to risk a moderator chastising me in order to reply with an explicit "Thank you."

Thanks for your support!
I really want to contribute and learn about android knowledge.
Hopefully I can help, and learn something here as well.

I can verify this is legit, but just open galaxy apps and search for CROM Service , you will find this apk its an official bootloader unlock from samsung, *IMPORTANT* as soon as you use this ap. you void your warranty and submit your imei to samsung, you also upon NEXT REBOOT will lose all your GAPPS AND any app you downloaded via playstore on that account!
IT IS possible to save it all, heres what I did.
1. Install CROM service apt from galaxy apps
2. turn on Developer options > OEM UNLOCK
3. run CROM Service to unlock bootloader
4. reboot to download mode, flash twrp 2.8.7.0 from twrp.me/devices (the noblelteh dual sim one)
5. take full backup of data, radio, efs, boot (don't even bother backing up system)
6. reboot device (gapps gets wiped and apps are gone)
7. reboot to download mode, reflash stock odin tar of same system version(i used OI1)
8. reboot to download mode, reflash twrp recovery
9. reboot to recovery, restore data, backup system, reboot
10. you have your system back with gapps and every other app back to how it was before you CROM unlocked and lost gapps
11. flash kernel with root and whatever else you want do with your phone
was gonna make a post right after i finished building arters kernel for our device, it was confusing to figure out what the hell download mode was bit#$ing about in chinese characters when you tried to flash something, but glad someone else was able to share the info, I didn't wanna post the files without permissions so I was going to get arteries port working with auto root before making a guide.
I'm actually quite interested to see what the chinese dev community comes up with on this device as this is my first time having a international model that actually has a working radio here in canada

Link to the kernel you used on your 9208? Or will all this 9200 stuff also work on the 9208?

[GUIDE] Root for Galaxy S4 Active! (SGH-i537 ~ AT&T) [UPDATED 7/8/2013 @ 10PM MST]

[GUIDE] Root for Galaxy S4 Active! (SGH-i537 ~ AT&T) [UPDATED 7/8/2013 @ 10PM MST]
-------------------------
This guide is to help people root their Galaxy S4 Active devices. Model SGH-i537 on AT&T.
Credit goes to geohot for the release of activeroot apk!
-------------------------
1. First go to Settings and click the "More" tab. Then go into security and check "Unknown Sources."

"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
2. Visit http://geohot.com/activeroot from your device and click the lampda picture to download the apk file.
3. Run the apk. It should give you a message telling you that you have root. Worked almost instantly for me.
4. Visit the Play Store and download SuperSU. (NOTE: You MUST download and use SuperSU to manage superuser permissions, nothing else. Only SuperSU currently can circumvent Samsung's "root blocker" in the kernel.)
5. Open the Super SU app and update binaries.
6. Optional. Donate. I contributed $10 to the original bounty, but really... this is a quick and simple method. Toss him $5 bucks if this root helps you out!
********** ***************************************** **********
Kill AT&T's OTA updater before it kills you!
Use a root enabled file explorer (Like Root Explorer) and navigate to: /system/app/
Rename or delete wssyncmldm.apk
If you want to get rid of AT&T's nannying nagging message about root access delete or rename KNOXAgent.apk
Install App Quarantine, go into settings and uncheck Hide system apps and disable AT&T Updater

======================================
F.A.Q.
======================================
Q: What does activeroot do for my phone?
A: It gives you root access to the phone's file system. Even the Android system files.
Q: What can I do with root?
A: You can run applications that require root access to function. Apps like Titanium Backup, can back up all of your apps and settings and save it in your phone's storage/SD card. You can also freeze (disable) or delete pre-installed apps that came with the phone (AT&T/Samsung bloatware).
Q. Is root dangerous?
A. Well, it does give you access to files you were not supposed to be allowed to manipulate. If you accidentally delete files that are important, you could cause the phone to crash and prevent booting.
Q. Can I install a custom ROM?
A. As of 7/8/13, the answer is no. Not yet. To be able to install a custom ROM, you need to be able to install a custom recovery. As of now, the bootloader of the original Galaxy S4 and the Galaxy S4 Active are still locked. The original GS4 currently has an venerability in it's bootloader that allows for an exploit (called Loki exploit) to be used that enables installation of custom recoveries and ROMS. This vulnerability has been patched since the release of the GS4 Active, and our phones cannot take advantage of the Loki exploit.
Q. Will the GS4A's bootloader EVER be unlocked?
A. No one knows for sure. The Galaxy S4 Active is a niche product available exclusively on AT&T in the USA. It will never reach the sales numbers that the original Galaxy S4 will achieve because of this. Since the original GS4 will be the phone in more users' hands... the same can be said for the hands of developers. A developer who bought the original GS4, is not likely to also buy a GS4A. That being said, the original GS4 is a very popular device and people are working hard on it's bootloader. The GS4 and the GS4A are similar enough that if the GS4 gets unlocked, luck may shine on us and the method may unlock our phones as well. But, as the old saying goes, "I wouldn't hold your breath."
So, what is the difference between active root and passive root?

This looks like the easiest root I've ever seen.

Are you serious? This is for the device Galaxy s4 active.
Sent from my Galaxy S4
Update: It is working despite the error messages I got from the apps. Literally the easiest root ever.
---------------------
Not working for me. Neither Super User or Super SU will work. Says I am missing an SU binary.
It works!
I was nervous because no one posted that they had used it yet. I just did it. Worked easily.

Please also try to split the OP up into sections with [ HIDE ] tags, and if you're feeling committed to this you can include in the title that this thread will be a general FAQ about all things root with this device.
Edit: Please include in the OP that users MUST download and use SuperSU to manage their superuser permissions, nothing else. Only SuperSU currently can circumvent samsung's "root blocker" in the kernel.

SM-N915S/K Root

Root confirmed working for Samsung Galaxy Note Edge Exynos Korea SM-N915 "S" via the legend Chainfire CF-Auto-Root
FOR THE MOST CURRENT ROOT METHOD, PLEASE REFER TO THIS THREAD >> [INFO] [CF-Auto-Root] Galaxy Note Edge SM-N915
WARNING : KNOX COUNTER WILL BE TRIPPED AND WARRANTY VOID - THERE IS NO CURRENTLY KNOWN METHOD TO RESET THE COUNTER OR ROOT WITHOUT TRIPPING KNOX !!
I used : SM-N910"K" (Korea, Exynos): CF-Auto-Root-treltektt-treltektt-smn910k.zip . Another user in this thread had reported that using the SM-N910 "S" Cf-Autoroot failed to boot, so I instead tried the "K" and success. All THANKS & credit to @Chainfire, if you require the stock recovery for SM-N915S, I'd gladly send it to you if you require it to make a formal Cf-Autoroot for our device.
Root has also been confirmed using the same method and file for SM-N915"K" here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=56761632&postcount=34
Method:
1. Advised: Have a full stock firmware package available (just in case) [sammobile.com or samsung-updates.com]
2. Have Samsung USB drivers installed on Windows PC (Easiest way is DL KIES from Samsung)
3. Flash via Odin [I used Odin3 v3.07 - attachment] as per Chainfire's instructions !
** If unsure how to use Odin, there are many guides found by searching !
4. Wait around 30 secs after flash (stuck on boot screen), and hopefully device will boot.
5. Open SuperSU app and update SU if prompted
Note: You will have installed stock Android system recovery for SM-N910K. This should not affect the operation of the ROM.

So Cf-Autoroot from Note 4 works for SM-N915 "S". If so which exact one ?
If confirmed for "S" model, would be one less thing for me to look at. ..... I can proceed with a kernel

I am not sure if it was for the S model.
I remember the Japan model was first to be rooted and there is a youtube video on it.
But unsure about the "S" model.
Didnt see the S in the frost post.

So glad to hear that there will be someone else on here with SM-N915S model.
Silly question, but what would be the benefit of rooting this model of Edge right now? I ask coz there's no custom rom available atm.

Main use is for root apps and deleting system apps.
You can then manual theme things.
After my samsung s2 i just stuck with stock rooted roms. Removed things i didnt want.

That's what I need, there's a lot of Korean apps on my phone. I have disabled some but they still show up here an there. Another very annoying thing is the dailer, it has Korean text on it which I want to remove as I only want English.
I'd be happy if I could remove some of those apps, and add the yahoo and twitter panels.
Do you think I'd able to flash an international version rom my Edge at some point?

That's what I need, there's a lot of Korean apps on my phone. I have disabled some but they still show up here an there. Another very annoying thing is the dailer, it has Korean text on it which I want to remove as I only want English.
I'd be happy if I could remove some of those apps, and add the yahoo and twitter panels.
Do you think I'd able to flash an international version rom my Edge at some point?
Thanks.

I am unsure on that. The processor is different I believe and that would be a main thing.
But with root you would be able to change most of the apps and you might be able to set up the build.prop to a USA one that should let you add yahoo and get to the USA panel store.

So glad to hear that there will be someone else on here with SM-N915S model.
Silly question, but what would be the benefit of rooting this model of Edge right now? I ask coz there's no custom rom available atm.

Apart from removing a few "useless" apps, able to use various root type apps (properly) such as Greenify, Titanium, Synapse etc.
But the main reason is to control a custom kernel I intend to build (time permitting). Also remove knox features and set SELinux permissive for Titanium Backup app to work correctly.
In future, I might look at a very basic ROM, but NOT on my to-do list

The processor being different is my main concern, let's hope some people will address this.
The edge is the best piece gadget I have ever owned. I'd be sorted if these issues were sorted.

A basic rom that includes all essential Note functions would be awesome on the edge.

Post in Q&A where your "question" belongs.
It's OT and nothing to do with my general statement of intention to develop this beast (when I get my hands on it).
I'm going to start taking a look at kernel sources sometime today/tomorrow, so I get a head start before the device arrives (Friday? )
Can someone please explain if this website is showing how to root Note Edge SM-N915S?

Its not an application for Mega. Mega is an app that you use to share apk's or files. Its like Google drive. You dont have to create an account its a app thats free in the playstore..nothing fishy about it..all you have to do is use your email and create a password for the app. Once you grab the file delete the app...just trying to help..but hey if you dont wanna use it then dont

Why would you use a one click root? It's not very difficult to root using the actual method to obtain root. Props to the dev of one click root apps, but if u ask me, if you want root do it yourself. Less of a chance you will mess up and if you do manage to mess up you know what u did and that's just not the case with one click root apps.

They have a locked bootloader so custom kernels and custom recoveries simply aren't an option. So they have to use whatever works, which is usually a one click root app (or in sometimes a full-blown pre-rooted firmware, but nobody's made one of those for this device)
Not that I disagree with you outright. If one has a device with an unlocked bootloader, it's always better to do it right, rather than these sketchy one-click root apps. But people with AT&T or Verizon devices have completely locked down bootloaders, so they don't have much of a choice. I've been missing CM on my phone (AT&T branded) I finally snapped and bought myself an international model

Oh I gotcha. That makes sence. So is there no way to unlock the bootloader AT&T or verizon? I have a HTC Desire 510 from cricket that had a locked bootloader but was able to get a unlock token from HTC. Most difficult phone I had to root in terms of being tedious and the time it took lol. I have rooted my tab 4 and my s4 before screen broke, both of which were straightforward and pretty simple, but never had AT&T or Verizon. I wonder why they have locked bootloader without having a way to unlock it like my HTC. Anyways thanks for your response, I always enjoy learning new things about android and software/hardware in general. Also do you have chrome on ur phone, if you do does it auto update with out permission. Mine just started doing this a few days ago.

Hi everyone...
I'm new to Android and iBones (sic), I'm more of an old school PC "CounterStrike/Team Fortress/Half-Life" type.
Anyhow, I got myself in the same position as the others here with the AT&T branded Tab 4s. I can see how easy it is to get into that position now, as I like exploring, or doing something just because I'm told I can't.
As for the fix posted here, it works. I was even surprised that all my apps were still there, minus pics, porn and movies. Uhhh, did I say porn?
The only thing that scared me was how easy and fast it was. It's nice to catch a break now and again!
Props to butchieboy!!!
I have a AT&T Samsung Galaxy Tab 4 10.1 (SM-T537A) 5.1.1 and did kingroot this morning to remove all the ADS, my word the ads... Anyway got that message Secure Fail: Kernel after rebooting - Sorry to say this method did NOT work for me. Is it because I have a 10.1 (SM-T537A)? Any suggestions? Thanks and I will keep looking digging.

[WIP] Note Series Developer Edition Coversion

All,
Due to the recent accidental leak of Samsung eMMC vendor commands allowing write to protected eMMC areas, we are now able to write CID values on production devices.
@beaups has written an awesome tool called 'SamsungCID' (found here: https://github.com/beaups/SamsungCID). This tool is based off the research of @ryanbg . This makes the process all the simpler for developers to understand/port functionality!
I have built this tool from his source, and used it on a multitude of devices that use a Samsung eMMC. It works without flaw on the Moto G (Second Generation), Galaxy S5 (VZW/ATT, though, ATT doesn't have a Developer Edition that I am aware of, though, it still could work, I need a tester, PM me, or Telegram me @npjohnson), and many, many other devices form a variety of manufacturers..
How does this apply to you?
The Note 4 uses a Samsung eMMC, and has a Developer Edition. This means that it is vulnerable to this exploit.
How can you help this progress?
You can't.
Currently, the CID writes 'successfully', and persists across reboots, but one of the registers isn't fully flushed. I am working on a module that will flush the register and allow for the Developer Edition Aboot to be flashed via ODIN.
Now, you may ask "How could we load modules, I thought that was impossible?", the short answer is, it is. At least, without what we found (or, rather, stumbled across).
We have the device kicking into Developer Edition using the CID write, and a hardware modification, which we stumbled across (demo: here, credits to @PaulPizz for spending late nights testing the various things I would throw at him, and having the balls to do some dangerous stuff that I personally believed would permanently brick his device). This method is volatile, dangerous, and quite honestly, shouldn't work. When I am confidently able to prove how it works, I will release details on my blog: here. Until then (shouldn't be more than a month, but as always, this is a free time project, and could be put on hold for real life, as I am busy with Cyber Security competitions).
What will most likely be the course of action once I release:
- Change CID to a provided Developer Edition CID
- Use hardware mod to flash/boot the custom kernel I have build to enable module loading (or maybe I'll build the function into the kernel itself, haven't decided yet)
- Either load the module, or call the function (if the latter, I'll write a binary to do so)
- Revert the hardware mod
- Flash Developer Edition Aboot via ODIN
This should be bootloader version agnostic, but, as always, beware updates, and, I'd stay away from any incoming MM updates on all locked carrier variants if you want to retain the ability to use this. If Samsung can update the eMMC firmware using those vendor commands, they can sure as heck change them the same way. Then the ability to do this goes away entirely.
You may be asking, "Can I donate to progress?"
Well. Sort of. Beaups asked that all donations go to the Make a Wish Foundation, or @ryanbg (as he is getting hitched , may you forever 'make cooking' Ryan! Haha.).
If you'd like to donate to me, know that it is not for the CID write, but instead, the work and research put into getting this all worked out for this device. I will also be dividing any donations sent to me with my tester, as he has spent a fair bit of time on this, as have I.
@npjohnson I have two devices s4 and note 4 both from Verizon, I'm in Brazil right now so I don't know if it makes a difference but I'm able to use temporary root in my note 4 so if you want any help give me a shot, I'm not a developer but engineer so any you need from me to get this rooted count me
OMG Could it be?

The Note 4 uses a Samsung eMMC, and has a Developer Edition. This means that it is vulnerable to this exploit.
How can I help this progress?
I need a few thing to make this work:
- A few testers with Production devices, and root (temp-root should work fine) -- I will contact these people individually, do not ask here to test.
- One person with a Developer Edition that has root (need an aboot dump, and them to run one command).
If any of you know of someone with a Developer Edition, please get them in contact with me. I can be reached on Hangouts, or on Telegram (@npjohnson).
PLEASE do not post your CID publicly.

@morgej, please see original post.
Just out of curiosity, correct me if this is lame thinking or not worth trying but would it be possible to change the cid to turn the device into lets say another variant in order to utilize something like CROM.apk or to odin another variants tar files to oem unlock a device?

You could, but the device 99% wouldn't boot.
Plus, you do realize developer editions are unlocked? Why would you want to flash to another variant to oem unlock? Literally the same thing.

Well. Why don't you read the paper?
All devices that:
1. Use a Samsung eMMC (allows CID write)
&
2. A Developer Edition (allows you to supply a developer CID, and use their aboot)
Are vulnerable.
Question it if you will, but I am packaging things up as I write.

[CLOSED] Will the changes and custom rom i have installed stay if i unroot my phone?

I have a galaxy s10+ and i rooted it and installed a custom rom and did a few changes. The question is that, will those changes and the custom rom stay/retain after i unroot my phone? i used Magisk app if that helps.

It depends on what kind of changes. File changes remain, but you'll lose permissions for applications and services that required a permanent root presence.

I actually changed my phone's imei number. But a few days ago somehow my phone automatically got unrooted, i even tested it with root checkers and also Magisk says not rooted too.
But the thing is that the imei is not changed and is working fine.
For that reason, i haven't let the phone die or restart it since then because im scared that something might go wrong i.e. Changes get reverted, boot loop and etc.
Someone else did the root and imei change for which is why i dont really know much about this stuff. Any help will be appreciated
