Hi All,
Firstly SORRY for posting here. This should be in the dev thread, but I have no rights there.
I am unable to post to post in the developer thread (being newly registered) and I am hoping Chainfire can provide a root for the Galaxy Note 4 SM-N9100 China model. He has requested that the recovery.img file from the phone model's stock ROM be attached. He has already provided the root for a few other files but I see in another post, he didn't do it for this one because he couldn't download the firmware easily. I have downloaded the stock firmware and extracted the needed file.
If someone with dev posting rights can help post the attached file to this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1980683&page=55
I would be super super appreciative :fingers-crossed:
Many thanks.
For thanks in advance to Chainfire, I have just made a donation.....
.... now praying.... can't use my apps purchased on Google Play on this phone without the root.

thanks chainfire!
tried it on mine but it didn't work. had a flash write failure...
Maybe Locked Bootloader
First, big thanks to Chainfire for the super fast action!!
But yeah, I've got the same issue. The recovery.img was from sammobile for n9100, so I don't think that is the problem.
I am suspecting it is a locked bootloader. Unfortunately I'm not at the moment able to detect this as while adb is working fine, fastboot is not recognizing the device. If anyone else knows how to easily check if the bootloader is locked (and has a good way to unlock without using fastboot), everything would be great.
Fastboot not supported for n9100
Ok tried fastboot on a different PC. Doesn't work for n9100 either. Can't detect devices in bootloader mode. Adb is ok. So likely not usb issue, must be simply not available on n9100 and from searching about seems Samsung likely doesn't support fastboot for many devices.
Troubleshooting
After further research, not too sure about the bootloader being the issue. Actually the SM-N9100 is not carrier branded or locked that I could tell. If the other models' roots work, then it makes no sense for this to be the issue here.
Chainfire, I see you posted that you may replace the ROOT you made for this model. If it helps in troubleshooting, here is what happened.
1 - Downloaded the stock firmware from here: http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/3/?download=36308
2 - Posted to you the recovery.img file from the ROM - not sure if that was the one you used. But after soft bricking my device by trying the root, I can confirm that I could reflash with the stock firmware and all went well.
3 - When trying the root, it starts no problem, but then there is a Write Fail error in Odin. If needed, I can repeat the process to provide all text and screenshots. There was no Red Android icon. The bootloader screen has some failure message and the Android icon remained green.
4 - Phone would not restart stating there was a firmware issue and that I should perform a recovery in Kies.
5 - I did not perform a recovery in Kies, but rather I reflashed (using Odin) the stock firmware. This worked ok.... but of course, I still have no root. Since the reflash worked, then I can only assume the recovery.img file is fine for my SM-N9100
I have used your Autoroot in the past for my Note 2 N7100 model, and it worked with absolutely no issue whatsoever. So I don't think the problem is that I am not following the Odin settings correctly or that I have some USB issue.
Thanks.
Further Details
I've added a screenshot of the Odin failure.
BTW, I noticed someone posted a rooting video in YouTube with this CF AutoRoot for N9100
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mXpPSjlzrok
Funny the video stops right before the failure and you don't see the "PASS" result in Odin!
So I don't know if anyone has been successful with this root at all!
sm-n9100
Hi
I rooted my SAMSUNG GT-N9100 with Cf-Auto root via Odin everything was ok process was passed and phone took a restart i checked the apps there was superSU but when i opened it, it just waiting and happened nothing. I restart my phone in recovery mode to update gapps or other superSu upte it giving a write error. it was not rooted you can't do anything.
since you buy N9100, so i consider u can read a few chinese (if not u can use google translate to help u)
i've seen in chinese forums they can root N9100 without problems, so i give u a few links to help
here is the step by step for root :
http://www.muzisoft.com/root/80910.html
and
in here it said u need to flash cwm first..this is the link for recovery
http://www.muzisoft.com/recovery/80827.html
and then after that u need to put supersu.zip to ur sd card, so this is the link for the supersu.zip
http://www.muzisoft.com/softs/bixu/80821.html
hope this can help root ur device
or actually u can download root apps in chinese, there are a few root apps that u can use for root the phone
Looks like the 9100 just got the recent OTA yesterday.
I'm rooted so need the full Odin flashable ANK5 from sammobile:

Which file have you used to flash/root ? Could you post the link or send me through PM please ?
(There is also a thread about TWRP Philz touch 6 , that apparently works to for rooting but does not allow any custom ROM )

Is it possible to use this method on a Verizon Note 3 SM-N00V? Both models have the same processor and capabilities, but I'm not sure if the locked bootloader on my N00V would cause problems.

Well yes but I haven't tested it.
The root part I can guarantee will work but I will need to update the guide for other variant with the necessary kernels which I'm currently doing but the rom flashing, I cannot guarantee will work but I can make it for all those who are
Also please note that, the Dev base rom has additional modifications done for extended battery life. The Rom that I would provide would be 100% stock. (I'm saying this because the original stock firmware needs huge battery improvements).
I will update the thread with root kernel and stock kernels for N900V ASAP.

Awesome! I'm completely find with a stock ROM, I just miss root capabilities so much!
So I need to wait for a different .zip kernel file that was made for the N900V and I shouldn't use the N9005_ROOT_Kernel.zip file you have linked up right now? Other than that, the only other file needed is the stock kernel for the N900V on 4.4.2, right?

Yes you shouldn't use the N9005_ROOT_Kernel.zip which I have provided since its only for N9005 model.
Unfortunately since I'm not aware of your model and the method provided requires a ROOT_Kernel for your variant, which I'm still trying to find.

replaced both a stock Note 3 4.4 and a stock Note 3 5.0 - no issues
have successfully replaced both a stock note 3 4.4 and a stock note 3 5.0 [both new] with this root without tripping knox method
both are working smooth and have no issues, have installed various apk's requiring root/superuser access and all are working 100% as should
did it for a bit of fun, while STILL waiting for the EE Note 3 & EE Note 4 official firmware's that were promised months ago [just in case your reading XDA Mr EE!]
so to clarify the steps, all worked, no crashes, knox still showing 0x0
cheers for all your work and testing King and thanks to all that contributed with various bits n bobs to allow you to do it!
I've just broken my Knox 0x0 rooted Lollipop ROM. I was trying to disable the startup and shutdown sounds and renamed 2 files in the /system/media folder. They were called samsungboot and samsungshutdown or something, I cannot remember the file extensions. Can some kind person please upload them so I can try to replace them via adb without tripping Knox? Or is there another way? Thanks.
EDIT - never mind, I just went for a reinstall
just to clarify. will this method work if i have unrooted stock 5.0? and installing 4.4 wont trip knox?
That's correct
Will this work on galaxy N900t
Im new here and would greatly appreciate a step by step guide to root a galaxy N900t using tmobile and lollipop. Thanx. Rob
Kernel version=pda?
hello in the Rooting instruction "Before starting this find your kernel version and build number, the last 3 letters/digits matter such as NG1 or NH1, etc"
kernel version=pda?
THANKS.
Q: Note 3 [Apps can't save/SD card not recognized]
Hello XDA
It's my first time to post here and my first attempt in flashing a phone. I have a Note 3 SM-N9005 on Kitkat which I upgraded and rooted following the guide by XxXKINGMAKXxX. I followed to guide to the letter and have successfully gained a rooted Android 5.0 without any apparent problems. I used the stock ROM by XxXKINGMAKXxX and NOT the Alexander dev base.
After a day of using though, I started noticing that some of my apps can't seem to save or recognize my SD card. Here's a short list of some app errors that I encounter:
1. Google Earth ("An SD card is required to run this application")
2. Facebook Messenger (Unable to save image)
3. Chrome ("Do you want to replace the existing FILE in your Documents directory?" followed by saving error)
4. Snapseed (saves file but cant be located anywhere)
5. Autodesk Sketchbook (same as Snapseed)
I have tried factory reset and have reformatted my perfectly functioning external SD but the problem came back again. I have GSam battery monitor and Cerberus app installed as a system app and I use Link2SD to freeze some apps that are deemed safe by others. I use Tasker but very basic profiles only and also have Greenify but I greenify most app that I installed via Playstore only.
PLEASE HELP. I don't know what to do with this phone anymore. Anyone here who have encountered the same problem?

I flashed the rooted Polish ROM 3 times and had exactly the same problem each time. I moved over to the Alexendr Devbase rom and have had no such problems.

So the problem is in the stock ROM? Well now that is sad. I wanted my ROM to be as close to stock as possible but with root access
Anyway, If I were to flash the Alexendr Devbase rom, where in the steps should I start? Do I need to downgrade again to Kitkat (part1 or part2?) or I will start with the flashing of Mobile Odin (part 3)? Im sorry but im really really new to these.
Thank you for the quick reply.
You need to downgrade to Kitkat, start at the beginning. The Devbase rom is pretty much stock with the option to debloat.

Can I downgrade to Kitkat and begin step 1 just by flashing the Sammobile ROM? I believe the bootloader (OB6) and the CP file has already been flashed in the process, wouldn't that be a problem i.e. create bootlop/brick ? Have you tried it yourself?
Thank you again.

Just follow the guide from the beginning, the BL & CP will be over-written when you flash the stock KK ROM with PC Odin.
Fix Possible
For all those that have had issues regarding the SDCard and Permissions. All you need to do is after you have flashed the rom. Clear your Cache, Data and then Fix SD card permissions.
All of these options are present within the Recovery mode of NOTE 3. Hope fully this will fix the problem. Fortunately, I have not faced any such problems. I have retired from this project as I have previously mentioned that I no long have a Note 3 with Knox 0x0. I have moved over to Sony Xperia series and working with other developers to make mods for it.
Sincerely,
KINGMAK

I figured out what's causing the bug on the stock Polish ROM. It seems that wiping the cache partition in recovery causes the app permission to be messed up. I've tried reflashing twice and a couple of factory reset; I get the same result after going to recovery and wiping cache. Fixing SD Permission is not available in my recovery menu. I've switched to Alexndr DevBase OEA and so far so good. Thank you guys for helping out. Great great guide.
Hey , you can do this manual by Version deodex of " devbaseAlexander ?

So I have a Note 4 SM-N910G Variant Currently running 5.1.1 Lollipop and I'm looking forward to root it since my warranty is over. (Snapdragon) I want to flash dr.ketan's rom ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-4/snapdragon-dev/n910g-dr-ketan-custom-rom-t2928568 ) but obviously I need to root my phone first.
I have researched through many youtube videos and website for Rooting and to my understanding, I need to download a kernel and flash a recovery called TWRP, flash SuperSU and then flash the ROM itself.
But so far, All I could find were kernels for other variants except N910G, some of them said that I can use the kernel for N910F ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-4/orig-development/tw-kernel-emotroid-team-t2990557 )
Can someone help me? And correct me if my understanding of the root procedure is wrong.
Really really really appreciated If you can help me
I tried to flash a kernal for SM-N910F 5.1.1 on my SM-N910G and it stopped my phone from booting (soft brick, got stuck on the first Samsung splash screen). I'm fairly certain that I did it correctly but I am new to Android so it might have been my mistake. I did get my phone working again by downloading the vanilla 5.1.1 SM-N910G firmware using SamFirm and installing it via Odin.
EDIT: I have successfully rooted my device using Noname Kernal http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=63217526
If this is in the wrong place, feel free to delete this post.
I'm a n00b at rooting and don't trust myself to use a guide which may be outdated. Can someone post me some instructions or a link to an updated version of the root I need. I only want to root my phone to de-bloat it, as I cannot stand those useless apps.
Phone details;
Model number - SM-G900F
Android version - 5.0
Baseband version - G900FXXU1BOJ1
Everything is stock.
Thanks
EDIT 1: I had to do a little research because I couldn't find the baseband version I needed and found out I could use the SM-G900F (International Qualcomm) CF Auto Root which I found on here; http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2696537#sthash.8q6iwfow.dpuf
I then followed a video on how to root the phone using the file I had. (I'm a major n00b )
The video I used - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xMWzMbM5SCk

Flash CR Auto Root from the CF AR thread
If that fails, reflash a stock ROM as it will likely bootloop your phone, and follow this guide

Right if u took the ota you are locked as far the bootloader goes ....flashing will not be possible til this is corrected ....im told u can odin back to 5.1.1 which has a pretty easy method the safely upgrade so rooting and unlock are simplified. I never tried to rooting from the stock firmware.... does kingroot ever get u rooted? If so the u could try the aforementioned method but u would need a 6.0.1 compatible kernel (Sprint) given u r on there dev cid .
in the verizon note 4 form is where you should be looking because you have a locked bootloader.
