UPDATE **Lollipop** 5.0.1 & 5.1.1 for N915G TESTED & ROOT

alright to not make previous visitors of the post confused, i changed the old post color to red, the new update is in Black at the bottom
Now the big news we were waiting for, Lollipop is here for N915G
you can download it from sammobile.com
Model SM-N915G
Model name GALAXY Note Edge
Country Australia
Version Android 5.0.1
Changelist 4144270
Build date Fri, 13 Feb 2015 23:58:14 +0000
Product code XSA
PDA N915GXXU1BOB7
CSC N915GXSA1BOB7
MODEM N915GXXU1BOB7
i've tested this on one of my Note Edge N915G phones and now after two weeks i can totally confirm i've got no bugs and it's super smooth and amazingly beautiful.
it's not on my main phone only because Xposed doesn't support TW Lollipop yet.
also Xmodgames doesn't work on lollipop (yet) for people who use it, especially the Clash of Clan players.
ROOT:
Get the Latest CWM from HERE
go to Download mode and flash the CWM
download SuperSU from HERE
put SuperSU.zip inside your phone
go to Recovery and install the SuperSU
reboot. DONE
UPDATE:
as you may know 5.1.1 is available on sammobile mine is N915GXXU1COL2
everything works fine. i also installed xposed and wanam. (only custom made xposed works and needs recovery installing too)
ROOT for 5.1.1 :
go to download mode and flash the latest TWRP via Odin.
go to recovery mode and install BETA-SuperSU-v2.64
reboot. DONE
i attached both here to make it easier
GOOD LUCK

Nice!

Woohoo!

Can I flash this on the SM-N915T?

No... You need the right model version for your 915T.
If you flash this you will end up with a bootloop and, as the bootloader will be upgraded, no way to get back to your stock firmware...

Any SM-915G can flash this irrespective of the location.

OK, go to the TWRP site, download the latest TWRP for Note 4 TMO. I believe it's 2.8.5.0. Make sure it's Odin flashable. Also download the latest flashable SuperSU zip file, 2.46, and put it on your sd card.
Flash Twrp with ODIN, let it reboot. If prompted, DON'T root.....
Now go to TWRP recovery and flash SuperSU. Reboot...
You are now rooted, enjoy... - If you go to SuperSU and it says to remove Knox then allow it.
Simples...

Sorry what you mean "Note 4 TMO"? its a T-mobile version?

Should you wipe the phone prior to flashing this firmware or no cause its official?

[Q] S5 Active Advice required please

Hi Folks
My partner has just got the S5 Active and she loves it..
But now she would like to update from 4.4.2.. Phone says she has latest rom so my questions are this
1)What is the latest official rom for the Active?
2)Whats the BEST root method?
3)What Custom roms are suitable?
3)Finally what is the best route to take to flash a CUSTOM rom?
looking forward to your responses
regards
Lohtse

1) Here you can find the latest TW stock rom:
http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/
Android Lollipop is available for the S5 Active. You can download the latest Firmware and flash it via Odin. You don't need root for that.
2) My preferred root method is flashing CF auto root via Odin. After that I install another recovery like TWRP
3) Nobody can answer that. Try and find it out (perform a full wipe incl cache before you install a custom rom)
4) This steps: root, recovery, full wipe, custom rom, and at least if you want and need that: custom kernel

Thank you for the help...
finally got it sorted after reading around 9-10 different guides... all of which had little bits missing
now she's a happy bunny with LP on her Active and I'm a tired old fart with droopy eyes!!!!!
Just need a custom recovery now!!

Congratulations! How you solved it?
Yeah recovery is the same problem. It exists no recovery for the G870A

Two things that I found that allowed me to sort the Active which was mentioned
firstly to allow Flashfire to work you had too set clock back past 1/15/15
and you had to also set flashfire to boot into download to allow you to flash the G870A_OC5_Bootloader.tar.md5 file via Odin on the pc.. once I did these it worked...
Just depends which guide you read to find a COMPLETE one....

Damn that sounds very tricky

Not really just no two guides the same.... soon as I noticed the minor differences it was easy.
1) root with towel root copy stock LP(rooted version)
2) Install and set date to 1/1/15 then open Flashfire
3)Flash Stock rooted LP using flashfire making sure you have flashfire set to boot to download when finished
4) open Odin PC and connect S5Active
5)Point Opins AP slot to location of the G870A_OC5_Bootloader.tar.md5 file
6) Flash and reboot and your done...
MAJOR issue was the flashfire issue once found issue and set it as stated above I was Up and running after 10minutes Just had spent 4 hours failing before I notice and figured out what the issues was...
Simple really.... Well it was in the end lol

Any Root Available for Our Device with MM firmware?

is anyone successfully rooted their device? if yes, How? TIA

I backed out at the last moment and rebooted from recovery

I've successfully flashed a prerooted deodexed zip, just need to odin bootloader so no need to worry about root or meesing about. Just hang fire till some custom roms get uploaded
Edit
Forgot I also restored a 5.1.1 backup as well

Able to successfully root but after some time root access is lost.?

Hello,
I am able to successfully root my Note 4 N910C but later on I lose the root access. Following are the steps I did.
1. Flashed latest Marshmallow (6.0.1) from sammobile.com through ODIN.
2. Flashed the following root file from autoroot.chainfire.eu through ODIN.
samsung SM-N910C treltexx trelte universal5433 exynos5 MMB29K.N910CXXU2DPCB 6.0.1 27 967 186 Download e117e8cd8a4ee0eda1fa935fae758e4f 385 972
However after using it for a few days I think a received a security patch (Auto updates was on at that time) and subsequently lost root access.
I tried flashing the root file again through ODIN but no luck.
So I formatted and tried flashing the root file again and this time it worked fine and the first thing I did was turn off auto updates.
Everything worked fine until around 30 minutes I lost root access again. (Supersu said it cannot update binaries)

Same issue, I had autoupdates disabled though... I suddenly lost Root TODAY. IDK how. I remember using Titanium Backup yesterday to make backups, so it was definitely working last night for me.

That is what happened to me
SM-N910C 6.0.1

Hey, I installed Hani's H-Vitamin kernel for 6.0.1 and it restored root for me. Thought you might want to know. I think we're losing Root on Stock due to an updated SE-Linux policy which overwrites patches made by SuperSu to work on an enforcing kernel, but using this custom kernel on Stock seems to solve the issue.

Oh, yes, sorry, the link I meant to post was: http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-4/development/kernel-h-vitamin-t3355879
I have the N910C on 6.0.1 as well.
Flashing this kernel will enable proper root, it seems Samsung has sent a silent security update that disables root.
Do you have TWRP installed? If so, flashing the kernel is easy, just select the Install option in TWRP and choose the kernel zip file, and install it.
