[Q] Galaxy Note N9100 (China Dual SIM Model) Root

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:

Does any one know how to get twrp installed on sm-n9100.

Cf auto root works for my N9100...
Just flash it via Odin
Or either flash cmw recovery and it will ask you upon first reboot is you want to install su.
Both work for me

Hi Aligu,
Thank you for your help :good: . Have you also tried to flash a custom ROM into your Dual sim N9100 ?
Does the root method for n9100 china version also works on hong Kong version without any problems.

Convert n900v to n9005 ( international Version)

Hi - I've been lurking on XDA for quite awhile and finally took the time to create an account.
Here is my issue/need -
I have a Note 3 that I want to use in another country. I have used it as a 900v but there are a few issues, so I am wondering, If I root,etc. and load all the 9005 firmware will it then be a fully functional 9005 ??
WOW.....
Well... I find it very interesting that I create this thread asking for someone to help.. Over 100 Views and NO replies..........
Oh well... I figured it out on my own. 100% success. No Knox Trip running Stock n9005 firmware and all correct bands working :good: :good: :good:

Hi! anyone can post solution to convert N900V to N9005 please?
thank you!
Hi, I don't know if this has any relation to my problem but this is what has happened :
I wanted to add a custom rom to my SM-N900V so I upgraded it to Android 5.0 but I upgraded it to pl1 so I downgraded it to of1 and rooted using Arabic tool app. I flashed twrp through Odin and flashed hyper drive custom rom but that rom was rubbish. So I decided to switch to Aryamod rom and flashed it through twrp but after rebooting got stuck on Note 3 logo on searching I found out that the stock kernel has to be replaced with darklord kernel so I used Odin to flash it and on rebooting I got past the note 3 logo but got stuck on Samsung logo (it was blinking) after waiting for 20 min I again started searching on xda, I found out that before flashing Aryamod you have to be on stock 5.0 firmware. So I again used Odin to flash 5.0 but it failed so I tried again and this time it worked ,then I again rooted using Arabic tool and after successful rooting when I plug in my phone to my PC to unlock it's boot loader the phone only charges and I don't get and USB options on my phone, Odin does not detect any device neither does the Arabic tool and when I see the list of and devices there is none. I reinstalled the drivers of my phone tried many cables and different ports disabled and enabled USB debugging 100 times and even dialed ##366633# and disabled and enable dm mode from there also but all without any luck. I really want to connect it to my PC to flash stock firmware again. Pls help me.

I've followed the guide in this forum downloaded the file from chainfire site for my exact model but it didn't work only ended up in samsung logo. I am even unable to shutoff my device, be aware that CF Auto root method is not working on latest patches. If u r stuck in samsung logo flash stock firmware via odin then u r good to go....
