I tried to install Zenonia 2 from mediafire but it blocks the installation and don't have the setting to allows it to install since ATT took it off. Is there a way to get this app into my phone?

I tried doing that but I got stuck stuck doing on step 7 Becuz there was no adb command
I had the same problem and unfortunately I didn't document what steps I took to resolve it. I think you need to run the Android SDK and look for either the SDK manager or some sort of module add-on option. Then you need to add the SDK tools that include ADB. For some reason it's no longer included in the general SDK download.
How to Sideload 3rd Party Apps:
(Rooting NOT required for this)
Download SDK Tool HERE
1: Un-RAR Android folder to root directory on PC (ie: C:\ )
2: Open CMD Prompt and type CD\ and hit Enter
3: Now type cd\android\tools Enter
4: Plug in Data cable and choose "Charge Only" on phone (always choose this)
5: Now in CMD prompt enter this command: adb install barcodescanner3.4.apk and press Enter
The SDK tool should install the Barcode Scanner app on the phone. Yay!! Success!!
**You can use this method to install .apk downloads onto the phone. For this demo i had already inserted
the Barcode Scanner app into SDK tools folder. the actual command should read as follows:
adb install c:\path to .apk file (ie: adb install c:\apps\filename.apk)
**I chose this app because you can use it to install other apps by scanning the barcode
found on many HTC App sites.
No need to go through all this trouble anymore. All you need to do is download "sideload wonder machine" from android central and whatever app you want to install. Its quick and painless and it allows you to sideload apps to your unrooted aria (or any android)
The only thing you must do to the phone is make sure you have usb debugging enabled under the development settings.

If you see my post right above yours, you will see that this method doesn't work anymore since adb is not included in the SDK by default. You (or whoever wrote the original instructions) need to add the steps necessary to install adb in the SDK.
How u install the adb command?
Thank you CallMeAria. It works now!

Guessing you don't need the instructions anymore since you got it working with the wonder machine, but just in case, you need to run the Android SDK Manager, choose whichever available package comes with ADB, I think it is Android SDK Tools Revision 8, then download and install that.
awesome
thanks it worked great

hey as you said your phone is formattee and now there is no os/ rom in your internal storage..........so now you have to transfer rom/os zip file to your phone memory........for that
you have to install adb and fastboot to your laptop or pc and when it is done you can send os file from your laptop to phone storage
liks :
adb and fastbbot drivers d-h.st/iqA
usb drivers forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1996051
step 1 :-unzip the downloaded adb and fastboot drivers in the c drive of your computer or pc..in a folder name it say "adb"
step 2 :- install the usb drivers for your phone .....this is somewhat complicated.......u can search how to install usb drivers in xda itself..
step 3 :- now copy the zip file(rom) which u want to flash or install in the folder adb which u created in step 1st along with adb and fastboot files.
step 4 :- now u have to open command prompt...for that go to adb folder where rom and adb files are....and there press shift key along with right click of mouse button..i.e shift+right click.......and u have to select "open command window here"..
step 5 :- now u have to type command to transfer that rom zip to phone memory......so the command is
adb push filename.zip /sdcard/0/filename.zip
u have to type the name of rom in place of filename and hit enter.......and then wait and watch on that command prompt....the file will get copied in few.seconds
step 6 :- now move to recovery and u can flash that rom zip and can have your os installed...
This may help to return to stock: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2010312
TWRP has an excellent Sideload feature. If all your drivers are installed, you can easily flash the ROM from the PC using adb with TWRP in sideload mode.
A Comprehensive guide to Rooting And Custom Recovery with a Non-Functioning USB Port
This is for those of us who have a broken USB port on our Xperia devices and still want to flash! If it is too difficult/expensive to get your device repaired, this method may still get you root and custom recovery.
Requirements:
As we always say with suggestions from XDA, DO THIS AT YOUR OWN RISK. I take no responsibility for you or your device.
This procedure was carried out on a Z3 Compact with stock firmware 23.4.A.1.264.
1. Xperia device with stock firmware - what I had: 23.4.A.1.264
2. KingRoot - what I had: 4.8.1
3. [NUT]'s XZDualRecovery - what I had: Z3C-lockeddualrecovery2.8.26-RELEASE.combined.zip
4. Android file exporer with root capcibility - what I had: ES File Explorer File Manager
5. Android terminal with root capability - what I had: Terminal Emulator for Android
6. Root Checker - what I had: Root Checker
STEP 1:
Use Kingroot to root the device. The version I had at the time said that there was no root method specifically available but there was a generic method which worked. If this doesnt work - try rebooting and try it. It worked for me on my second attempt.
STEP 2:
Use Root Checker to make sure the device is rooted - a dialog box should open from Kingroot asking if you want to grant it root access, press yes!
STEP 3:
Download XZDualRecovery twice - one for flashing and one for extracting (I found this easier on a PC).
STEP 4:
In the extracted version, open the install.bat in a text editor so you can read the code
STEP 5:
Search for the bit where the bat file makes the directory and transfers the necessary files
Code:
echo =============================================
echo Step2 : Sending the recovery files.
echo =============================================
adb shell "mkdir /data/local/tmp/recovery"
adb push ..\tmp\dr.prop /data/local/tmp/recovery/dr.prop
adb push ..\system\bin\chargemon /data/local/tmp/recovery/chargemon
adb push ..\system\bin\mr /data/local/tmp/recovery/mr
adb push ..\system\.XZDualRecovery\xbin\dualrecovery.sh /data/local/tmp/recovery/dualrecovery.sh
adb push ..\tmp\NDRUtils.apk /data/local/tmp/recovery/NDRUtils.apk
adb push ..\system\.XZDualRecovery\xbin\rickiller.sh /data/local/tmp/recovery/rickiller.sh
adb push ..\tmp\byeselinux.ko /data/local/tmp/recovery/byeselinux.ko
adb push byeselinux\byeselinux.sh /data/local/tmp/recovery/byeselinux.sh
adb push ..\tmp\wp_mod.ko /data/local/tmp/recovery/wp_mod.ko
adb push byeselinux\sysrw.sh /data/local/tmp/recovery/sysrw.sh
adb push ..\tmp\modulecrcpatch /data/local/tmp/recovery/modulecrcpatch
adb push ..\system\.XZDualRecovery\xbin\busybox /data/local/tmp/recovery/busybox
adb push ..\system\.XZDualRecovery\xbin\recovery.twrp.cpio.lzma /data/local/tmp/recovery/recovery.twrp.cpio.lzma
adb push ..\system\.XZDualRecovery\xbin\recovery.philz.cpio.lzma /data/local/tmp/recovery/recovery.philz.cpio.lzma
if exist {..\system\.XZDualRecovery\xbin\ramdisk.stock.cpio.lzma} (
adb push ..\system\.XZDualRecovery\xbin\ramdisk.stock.cpio.lzma /data/local/tmp/recovery/ramdisk.stock.cpio.lzma
)
adb push ..\tmp\installrecovery.sh /data/local/tmp/recovery/install.sh
STEP 6:
Make the corresponding directory /data/local/tmp/recovery with your file explorer
STEP 7:
Copy the files mentioned in the bat from the extracted version to the folder location. All the files go into one folder with the same file name apart from the last one which is renamed installrecovery.sh to install.sh.
STEP 8:
Double check everything that it mentioned in the bat file is in the correct directory on the device.
STEP 9:
Open terminal emulator and type "su" - a dialog box should open from Kingroot asking if you want to grant it root access, press yes!
STEP 10:
Use "pwd" and "cd" to see where you are and to change directory. You are trying to get to /data/local/tmp/recovery.
STEP 11:
Once your there type in "./install.sh" to start [NUT]'s recovery installer. A whole bunch of stuff should come up in the window explaining the status of the installer.
STEP 12:
If all went well - your device should reboot and go straight into TWRP. MAKE A BACKUP!!!
STEP 13:
From here I directly wiped the device and installed a new ROM. Click the thanks button if this worked for you - Happy Flashing!

Samsung Galaxy Note 4 on Verizon updated to 5.1.1 (BPA1)
PC with Windows
Micro USB Cable
MicroSD Card
MicroSD Card Reader/USB Adapter (To Format MicroSD Card)
Step 0: Install Note 4 USB Drivers
If you haven’t done this before at some point it’s as simple as opening the Samsung Mobile Phone Drivers included with this guide.
Step 1: Backup All The Things!
Backup anything that is important to you. You should regularly be doing this anyway.
If you use Two Factor Authentication such as Google Authenticator or Lastpass’ Authenticator I highly suggest you disable this before proceeding as we will be factory resetting your device potentially locking you out of some accounts or making them significantly more difficult to recover access too.
Step 1.5: Disable Encryption
Disable both device and sd card encryption.
Step 2: Factory Reset
Factory Reset your phone and format the sd card.
Step 3: Preparing The Device
Follow the directions below to navigate your device’s settings’ menus to change the required settings.
Settings > Security > Reactivation Lock | Disabled! This is very important!
Settings > Security > Unknown sources | Enabled
Settings > Developer Options > USB debugging | Enabled
Settings > Developer Options > Verify app via USB | Enabled
Move the file NewKingrootV4.85_C139_B255_en_release_2016_03_29_105203.apk included with this guide to your phone’s download folder. When plugged in with a usb cable to your computer it’s usually located at “SAMSUNG-SM-N910V\Phone\Download”.
Step 4: Preparing Your PC
Run minimal_adb_fastboot_v1.3.1_setup.exe included with this guide.
Pay attention to what directory this installs to. It’s usually C:\Program Files (x86)\Minimal ADB and Fastboot.
Step 4.1: Copying Files
samsung_unlock_n4-fix & BETA-SuperSU-v2.71-20160331103524.zip included with this guide need to be copied (the actual files, don’t create shortcuts) to the install folder for ADB (Usually C:\Program Files (x86)\Minimal ADB and Fastboot.). These files must be in the same folder as adb.exe
Step 5: ADB & The Unlocker
Your phone should have been connected already with a usb cable to your computer. We need to verify your phone is found by adb. Open adb.exe located in the folder from Step 4. Once the window (cmd.exe) opens a command line interface saying
Code:
Microsoft Windows [Version 10.0.10586]
(c) 2015 Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved.
C:\Program Files (x86)\Minimal ADB and Fastboot>
Type in the following command: adb devices
Which should return the following
Code:
List of devices attached
123a12ab device
The 123a12ab is made up. Yours will be specific to your device. If you see something listed like the above adb is working. Now on to the next command to move the unlocker to the phone.
Step 5.1: Send Unlocker to Phone with adb
Type the following command: adb push samsung_unlock_n4-fix /data/local/tmp/
If you get an error it’s because you a) typo b) file isn’t in the folder with adb.exe c) your phone is locked/screen is off d) usb debugging isn’t turned on in settings > developer options.
Step 6: Kingroot For Temp Root
Keep the adb window accessible you will need to be able to switch to it and enter in the commands below quickly as temp root is unstable. Be ready to copy or type them quickly.
On your phone open the app My Files. Click on Device storage > Download > NewKingrootV4.85_C139_B255_en_release_2016_03_29_105203.apk to install Kingroot. After it installs click close, not open. Close all running apps.
Step 6.5: Work Quick With Precision
Open Root Checker so it’s ready to go. Don’t Check yet. Hit the home button and then open Kingroot. In Kingroot scroll down and click the button to start temp root. If you don’t see root successful after a minute or two or four you may need to restart your phone and repeat the process of opening root checker and then Kingroot.
Once you do see successful root click the multi tasking button on the phone to switch over to root checker. Temp root is buggy and may crash. If it does repeat this process again with getting temp root and opening the apps in the correct order.
If you make it into root checker via the multi tasking button it will ask you to grant it root access, click yes, check for root. If it says you have root go to the adb window and type these comamnds in quickly before temp root causes your phone to crash.
adb shell
su
cd /data/local/tmp/
chmod 777 samsung_unlock_n4-fix
chown root.root samsung_unlock_n4-fix
./samsung_unlock_n4-fix
The device will reboot. After reboot, shut the phone down by removing only the battery and usb cable.
Step 7: One More Time
Put the battery and cable back in and turn the phone back on. Now repeat Step 5 & 6.5 but skip Step 5.1 and Step 6. After you send the last adb command and it reboots again pull the battery, sd card, and usb cable. Keep the sd card out! Until you plug it into your computer and format it. It doesn’t matter when you format it if it’s not reporting the correct size. This will be fixed by putting it back into your phone AFTER you format it on your pc and formatting it on the phone.
Step 8: Temp Root A Third Time
If it isn’t already installed go ahead and install Super-Sume Pro.
Close all apps.
Open Super-Sume Pro, click the home button, and open Kingroot.
In Kingroot apply temp root. Click the multi tasking button and switch over to Super-Sume Pro. When it asks for Root grant it. Click the big blue button and follow the instructions. It may take a minute or two. Shut the phone down after it’s done.
Step 9: Odin
Turn the phone on and enter download mode by pressing and holding volume down + power + home. When it’s comes to the screen and says “Downloading” you’re ready to proceed. Open the file included with this guide Odin3 v3.09.exe. In Odin3 where it says Files [Download] click AP and navigate to the folder with this guide and select/open the file twrp-3.0.2-0-trltevzw.tar.md5 and then click Start. Once it finishes it will enter a black screen to reboot. Press and hold these buttons immediately to enter TWRP , volume up + power + home.
Step 10: TWRP & ADB Sideloading
Swipe to allow changes in TWRP. Click Advanced and then ADB Sideload. Swipe to start adb. On your computer open adb.exe from Step 4. On the command line interface in adb.exe
Type the following command: adb devices
Verify your device is there and says sideload.
Type the following command: adb sideload BETA-SuperSU-v2.71-20160331103524.zip
The phone will install Super SU, after it is finished we will install the new Kernel before rebooting.
You may need to re-enter ADB Sideload on the phone.
Type the following command: adb devices
Verify your device is there and says sideload.
Type the following command: adb sideload Emotion-TW-5.1.1-nightly-r21-RC1-SM-N910P.zip
Reboot the phone.
If boots into 5.1.1 open root checker and verify you have root.

Thank you for posting this so clearly! Would Samsung "smart switch" be a viable tool to use for backing up all my apps/app data, home screen setup, etc. before rooting, and still work to import the data after rooting?

That kernel flash is optional from what I've seen. That's just what people have been wanting on their phones

It's included in Step 10. I think you may have missed it. It's the very last step. It's also included in the Google Drive folder and torrent.
You shouldn't need to do SuperSuMe. You can use Kingroot for the whole shebang. Also, you will need a kernel for 5.1.x roms otherwise it will bootloop at the Verizon logo.

Thank you for posting this so clearly! Would Samsung "smart switch" be a viable tool to use for backing up all my apps/app data, home screen setup, etc. before rooting, and still work to import the data after rooting?

I have not used it. What I did was find every export settings/backup option in apps like nova launcher. I wrote down one time passwords for eligible accounts or disabled 2 factor Auth temporarily. I copied my SD card to my computer, along with all the files in the folders Downloads, Media, DCIM, etc. I exported my contacts and copied the file to my pc. I didn't care about any saved games so I can't help you there. Some people have success with Helium for back ups. Using the pc backup option.

The kernel is included. See comment below from the guy who said I didn't include it.
I heard kingroot sends data to China. So I don't want it on my phone longer than needed.

isnt kingroot deleted once you do a full wipe before installing a custom rom via twrp?

Correct. Though this is a guide for staying on stock rom with root and the option to change roms at a later point easily.

Samsung Galaxy Note 4 on Verizon updated to 5.1.1 (BPA1)
PC with Windows
Micro USB Cable
MicroSD Card
MicroSD Card Reader/USB Adapter (To Format MicroSD Card)
Step 0: Install Note 4 USB Drivers
If you haven’t done this before at some point it’s as simple as opening the Samsung Mobile Phone Drivers included with this guide.
Step 1: Backup All The Things!
Backup anything that is important to you. You should regularly be doing this anyway.
If you use Two Factor Authentication such as Google Authenticator or Lastpass’ Authenticator I highly suggest you disable this before proceeding as we will be factory resetting your device potentially locking you out of some accounts or making them significantly more difficult to recover access too.
Step 1.5: Disable Encryption
Disable both device and sd card encryption.
Step 2: Factory Reset
Factory Reset your phone and format the sd card.
Step 3: Preparing The Device
Follow the directions below to navigate your device’s settings’ menus to change the required settings.
Settings > Security > Reactivation Lock | Disabled! This is very important!
Settings > Security > Unknown sources | Enabled
Settings > Developer Options > USB debugging | Enabled
Settings > Developer Options > Verify app via USB | Enabled
Move the file NewKingrootV4.85_C139_B255_en_release_2016_03_29_105203.apk included with this guide to your phone’s download folder. When plugged in with a usb cable to your computer it’s usually located at “SAMSUNG-SM-N910V\Phone\Download”.
Step 4: Preparing Your PC
Run minimal_adb_fastboot_v1.3.1_setup.exe included with this guide.
Pay attention to what directory this installs to. It’s usually C:\Program Files (x86)\Minimal ADB and Fastboot.
Step 4.1: Copying Files
samsung_unlock_n4-fix & BETA-SuperSU-v2.71-20160331103524.zip included with this guide need to be copied (the actual files, don’t create shortcuts) to the install folder for ADB (Usually C:\Program Files (x86)\Minimal ADB and Fastboot.). These files must be in the same folder as adb.exe
Step 5: ADB & The Unlocker
Your phone should have been connected already with a usb cable to your computer. We need to verify your phone is found by adb. Open adb.exe located in the folder from Step 4. Once the window (cmd.exe) opens a command line interface saying
Code:
Microsoft Windows [Version 10.0.10586]
(c) 2015 Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved.
C:\Program Files (x86)\Minimal ADB and Fastboot>
Type in the following command: adb devices
Which should return the following
Code:
List of devices attached
123a12ab device
The 123a12ab is made up. Yours will be specific to your device. If you see something listed like the above adb is working. Now on to the next command to move the unlocker to the phone.
Step 5.1: Send Unlocker to Phone with adb
Type the following command: adb push samsung_unlock_n4-fix /data/local/tmp/
If you get an error it’s because you a) typo b) file isn’t in the folder with adb.exe c) your phone is locked/screen is off d) usb debugging isn’t turned on in settings > developer options.
Step 6: Kingroot For Temp Root
Keep the adb window accessible you will need to be able to switch to it and enter in the commands below quickly as temp root is unstable. Be ready to copy or type them quickly.
On your phone open the app My Files. Click on Device storage > Download > NewKingrootV4.85_C139_B255_en_release_2016_03_29_105203.apk to install Kingroot. After it installs click close, not open. Close all running apps.
Step 6.5: Work Quick With Precision
Open Root Checker so it’s ready to go. Don’t Check yet. Hit the home button and then open Kingroot. In Kingroot scroll down and click the button to start temp root. If you don’t see root successful after a minute or two or four you may need to restart your phone and repeat the process of opening root checker and then Kingroot.
Once you do see successful root click the multi tasking button on the phone to switch over to root checker. Temp root is buggy and may crash. If it does repeat this process again with getting temp root and opening the apps in the correct order.
If you make it into root checker via the multi tasking button it will ask you to grant it root access, click yes, check for root. If it says you have root go to the adb window and type these comamnds in quickly before temp root causes your phone to crash.
adb shell
su
cd /data/local/tmp/
chmod 777 samsung_unlock_n4-fix
chown root.root samsung_unlock_n4-fix
./samsung_unlock_n4-fix
The device will reboot. After reboot, shut the phone down by removing only the battery and usb cable.
Step 7: One More Time
Put the battery and cable back in and turn the phone back on. Now repeat Step 5 & 6.5 but skip Step 5.1 and Step 6. After you send the last adb command and it reboots again pull the battery, sd card, and usb cable. Keep the sd card out! Until you plug it into your computer and format it. It doesn’t matter when you format it if it’s not reporting the correct size. This will be fixed by putting it back into your phone AFTER you format it on your pc and formatting it on the phone.
Step 8: Temp Root A Third Time
If it isn’t already installed go ahead and install Super-Sume Pro.
Close all apps.
Open Super-Sume Pro, click the home button, and open Kingroot.
In Kingroot apply temp root. Click the multi tasking button and switch over to Super-Sume Pro. When it asks for Root grant it. Click the big blue button and follow the instructions. It may take a minute or two. Shut the phone down after it’s done.
Step 9: Odin
Turn the phone on and enter download mode by pressing and holding volume down + power + home. When it’s comes to the screen and says “Downloading” you’re ready to proceed. Open the file included with this guide Odin3 v3.09.exe. In Odin3 where it says Files [Download] click AP and navigate to the folder with this guide and select/open the file twrp-3.0.2-0-trltevzw.tar.md5 and then click Start. Once it finishes it will enter a black screen to reboot. Press and hold these buttons immediately to enter TWRP , volume up + power + home.
Step 10: TWRP & ADB Sideloading
Swipe to allow changes in TWRP. Click Advanced and then ADB Sideload. Swipe to start adb. On your computer open adb.exe from Step 4. On the command line interface in adb.exe
Type the following command: adb devices
Verify your device is there and says sideload.
Type the following command: adb sideload BETA-SuperSU-v2.71-20160331103524.zip
The phone will install Super SU, after it is finished we will install the new Kernel before rebooting.
You may need to re-enter ADB Sideload on the phone.
Type the following command: adb devices
Verify your device is there and says sideload.
Type the following command: adb sideload Emotion-TW-5.1.1-nightly-r21-RC1-SM-N910P.zip
Reboot the phone.
If boots into 5.1.1 open root checker and verify you have root.

Hey thanks to all devs for all that is being done to make our n4 more lovable. I have everything set up per op. ADB sees my phone and I am able to get root. I enter all the lines of the code and get positive response on all till I get to chmod 777 samsung_unlock_n4-fix. It is in my minimal adb and fastboot folder. It is also unzipped. It all works up to there. Also have drivers installed. Thanks

Good one mate...
You can also flash MultiSystem-Kernel_LP-5.1.1 by @hsbadr instead of emotion kernel!
Its SE Permissive and wont show, "Seandroid is not selinux enforcing" error during boot and very snappy!
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24415232478676428
Yes this is a very good write-up of instructions. But I too, think the flashing the kernel is worth mentioning, considering I went through all this and ended up boot looping because I did not have the kernel, ended up doing it all over again, but a lot smarter the second time around.
?If someone helps you, plz thank them?

My Super-Sume Pro is stuck on the beginning of Step 2. Is this necessary to run or can I skip out on it.
Hello,
In the process of flashing my note 4, several dozen times, it seems I overheated it while flashing and burned up my memory and got the dreaded memory error,
which requires you to either
1, buy a machine to remove the memory chip, solder in a new one, and reprogram it with a special flashing tool, ( probably several thousand dollars, with acccess to the correct flash file
or
2, buy a new motherboard
So,
I ordered a new motherboard from China, 29.00 on Alibaba.
When i received it it was already setup booted to a running 5.0.1 oem rom, with no user or other programs setup. I could not root it..
I tried several guides and found this one by @hsbadr
Code:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/note-4-verizon/development/howto-bootloader-unlock-upgrade-to-t3398144
In the forum found this link to files needed
Code:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/devdb/project/?id=15720#downloads
with this file
Code:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/devdb/project/dl/?id=18880
and installed it via odin.
Both this guide
Code:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3360883
and @hsbadr guide shows to install kingroot, others show kingoroot, and others show to install a perm root after temp root.
In way with either my oem 5.0.1 or 5.1.1 could I root with kingroot, with any flavor of file! kingoroot would not install on either rom.
HOWEVER i was successful at using the PC kingoroot version with the above file mentioned.
CAUTION #1. make sure you have an antivirus installed to block some spyware. I used AVG with windows 7
CAUTION #2. dont click on any popups except to close them except for the main root screen
Root took about 30 sec with no reboots,
Caution : its a temp root that wont last on reboot
so continue onto
ADB & The Unlocker
install ADB to c:/ADB folder
copy the unlocker file to this folder or add c:/ADB to your path
Your phone should have been connected already with a usb cable to your computer. We need to verify your phone is found by adb.
open search by your home button in windows
search command or cmd
right click, open as administrator
change directory to your adb folder and
Type in the following command:
Code:
adb devices
Which should return the following
Code:
List of devices attached
123a12ab device
The 123a12ab is made up. Yours will be specific to your device.
If you see something listed like the above adb is working. Now on to the next command to move the unlocker to the phone.
Step 5.1: Send Unlocker to Phone with adb
Type the following command: adb push samsung_unlock_n4-fix /data/local/tmp/
If you get an error it’s because you a) typo b) file isn’t in the folder with adb.exe c) your phone is locked/screen is off d) usb debugging isn’t turned on in settings > developer options.
++++ modified, you should have temp root with kingoroot pc version
Step 6: SKIP -----Kingroot For Temp Root
Keep the adb window accessible you will need to be able to switch to it and enter in the commands below quickly as temp root is unstable. Be ready to copy or type them quickly.
Step 6.5: Work Quick With Precision
++++ modified
Open Root Checker so it’s ready to go. Check .
Once you do see successful root click the multi tasking button on the phone to switch over to root checker. Temp root is buggy and may crash. If it does repeat this process again with getting temp root and opening the apps in the correct order.
If you make it into root checker via the multi tasking button it will ask you to grant it root access, click yes, check for root. If it says you have root go to the command adb window and type these commands in quickly to verify root
you are now going to enter the linux shell on your device
Code:
adb shell
su
if you see the # prompt you are ready. copy and paste the following
Code:
cd /data/local/tmp/ && chmod 777 samsung_unlock_n4-fix && chown root.root samsung_unlock_n4-fix && ./samsung_unlock_n4-fix
The device will reboot and flash the developer code, shut the phone down by removing only the battery and usb cable.
+++++ edited
Step 7: One More Time to unlock the bootloader !!
Put the battery and cable back in and turn the phone back on.
Now repeat the kingoroot PC to gain temp root
Repeat step 6.5
After you send the last adb command and it will reboot and enter a bootloop . THIS IS NORMAL.
again pull the usb cable.
Pull the Battery
PULL THE SD Card and Keep the sd card out!
The sd card is unusable and needs a reformat, or you can keep it because it has a backup of your locked bootloader
Until you plug it into your computer and format it. It doesn’t matter when you format it if it’s not reporting the correct size. This will be fixed by putting it back into your phone AFTER you format it on your pc and formatting it on the phone.
Your bootloader is NOW UNLOCKED
reboot your phone,
and install TWRP via ODIN !!
++++ ignore this it wont work i tried . you need the androind kingroot or kingoroot to work. if u use kingoroot PC to root again, SUPERSUme will not find it .. waste of time
Step 8: Temp Root A Third Time
+++ Modified
Step 8: copy over a rom that you have already downloaded that you want to try
I reccomend this one
Code:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/note-4/snapdragon-dev/oreo-8-1-0-unofficial-lineage-15-1-rom-t3760969
download the rom, and the gapps to your computer and transfer them to a clean SD card.
power off the phone and install the SD card with your rom files
++++ Now were going to do it !!!
Step 9: Odin the newest twrp
Turn the phone on and enter download mode by pressing and holding volume down + power + home. When it’s comes to the screen and says “Downloading” you’re ready to proceed.
Browse to your ODIN folder on your computer , right click, open as administrator the odin.exe file
In Odin3 where it says Files [Download] click AP and navigate to the folder you have the twrp file . select/open the file twrp-3.x.x.x-trltevzw.tar.md5
Turn off the automatic rebooting in the custom tab, DO NOT select the PIT tab
Press start
Once it finishes it will say Success or FAILED
IF it says FAILED start the process over, you didn't unlock the bootloader
Power off the phone with the pull battery method
Press and hold these buttons immediately to enter TWRP ,
volume up + power + home.
++++ this step 10 is outdated. see mine below
++++ There are other methods to root unless you want to root your stock 5.1.1 kernel and stay there
Step 10: TWRP & ADB Sideloading
Swipe to allow changes in TWRP. Click Advanced and then ADB Sideload. Swipe to start adb. On your computer open adb.exe from Step 4. On the command line interface in adb.exe
Type the following command: adb devices
Verify your device is there and says sideload.
Type the following command: adb sideload BETA-SuperSU-v2.71-20160331103524.zip
The phone will install Super SU, after it is finished we will install the new Kernel before rebooting.
You may need to re-enter ADB Sideload on the phone.
Type the following command: ab devices
Verify your device is there and sys sideload.
Type the following command: adb sideload Emotion-TW-5.1.1-nightly-r21-RC1-SM-N910P.zip
Reboot the phone.
If boots into 5.1.1 open root checker and verify you have root.

Step 11: TWRP rom setup the first time by @tripLr
power on phone to recovery by holding down <up> <home> then <power>
boot into TWRP, allow changes.
select backup , change to SD card
BACKUP your rootable device with the bootloader and modem and everything. Name the backup rooted-backup-everything-5.1.1
go to install but DONT install yet
Select your sd card.
You should see the files for the ROM you transferred from your computer
If You dont, you can boot back up, transfer the files appropriately . Then come back here.
Now go to Wipe, Custom, and select everything except external SD card.
THIS IS TO guarantee, no Kingoroot or kingroot stuff is in the phone !!!
WIPE IT TWICE !!!
Now install you ROM, and after your inital setup, come back to TWRP and do a full backup
every time you try a new rom, and get it set up, do a backup. that way you can switch and test to your hearts desire till you run out of SD memory.
The cool thing is you can backup to an external memory device ! more room !
Enjoy
