Let's talk write protection! - Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General

Ok, so I'm making this thread to talk about and throw ideas around disabling wp. Figure it's only right since people are getting mixed up with wanting root when its already obtained. Our only problem now is write protection.. So what do you guys think? How can we beat this?

I tried king root last Saterday. From my test it didn't function like root. My guess is no system files were changed. In order to change the system files you have to reboot.

This is over my head but........
The DE Note 4 has a aboot partition that has to be cracked to get root.

i tried to use multi window pro to open four windows. It requires a reboot for the changes to take place. I will try again later with simplereboot/soft-boot, Thanks

It worked

I was able to use multi window pro.
I kept root after a soft reboot.
You were right! I stand corrected.
We have root on the Verizon Note 4

I got Kingroot here.............

Temp root IS root only it's temporary.
AND... The app is/was called Multiwindow Plus I think it came from the same Author. I forgot where I got it last year for my DE Note 4, maybe the play store but it 's not there now.

We already kno we have root, it's just we need to find away to get around the dm-verity function that rolls back changes to the system partition.

YES it use to be free but I paid for mine. I don't know where to get it now. It requires root. And it stopped working after the phone did a reboot on it's own.

I have two examples first the commad line change that makes Chrome always open as a desktop . After Kingroot I was able to use root browser to write to the location data/local and it stuck after a hard reboot.
Second example I was able to get the app *App Backup and Restore* to write to the Ext SD Card. This example did not stick after a reboot.

HEY!The 13/14.3.3.2 is rooted

I confirmed this news from the forum called "BAIDU", a china forum.
The method of root is to use the app called "root master". ( w w w .mgyun.com/)
It really works!
I post some screenshot as evidence.
" imgur.com/qALTGzN " this is my kindle version

in my opinion root is not worth having my device id cloned to a knockoff tablet.

I successfully installed Google Play on rooted 13.3.3.2 using same files that I used on 13.3.1
All works excellent with HDXPosed
Hey,I have downloaded vroot to my computer but vroot doesn't seem to recognise my device.When i click on the green button that says "Connect device",it gives me an error message. Any help??
Which version extactly do you mean? 13.3.2.2 or 13.3.2.3.2? Because I have the newest one and it doesn't seem to work
I rooted 13.3.2.3.2
Worked for me on 13.3.2.3.2, play store and ota block installed and running fine.
Could you describe the process of rooting the kindle? I still can't seem to root it even though i have done the factory reset and enabled the adb debug. Thanks!
1: Everyone hold your horses
2: Stay in airplane mode
3: Try to find what exploit it is and or get the needed files
4: Even if you get root stay in airplane mode until fully confirmed
Don't rush it.

WiFi Tether 4.4.4 - Requires Root

This is for anyone who has root on 4.4.4 but also has write protection enabled. (Used SuperSU to keep root through the update).
This app will allow you to enable the native WiFi tether without modifying the system (Which we can't do anyways). I have been using this for about an hour with no issues.
Finally, I didn't make this, I'm just someone who's stuck between places and need WiFi tethering for my job and hate spending money. Use at your own risk of course.

Yeah i just made the connection now. Forgot not everyone has unlocked BLs. In theory, if the app can make the change, you can too.
The app literally applies the same exact exploit as the one I've already released.

Doesn't the exploit require write access? Shouldn't this as well? Just want to make sure before I update.Thanks in advance.

No it does not, it runs a command after the phone is booted that while requiring root to run does not make any actually changes to the system.
Again, I have a 1 for write protection (meaning its enabled) and SuperSU basically stuck in System and have no issues running the app, making WiFi hot spots, and having devices connected to it.
Make sure you have root survival set up as well, I'm not sure if the update would remove root without it but I don't think you would want to take that chance.

I attempted this exploit by you TopSnake ( http://bit.ly/1zz1JOE) and after rebooting my build.prop was deleted and all renamed files were restored to their original state. Was there another exploit you were talking about? This was the only one I could find in the dev section for the latest update.
I do know that you can run a simple command to do what this app does but this app can run on boot up which saves some time.

The OP stated he was write protected, so he can't copy the build.prop over the stock one. My app doesn't write to the system it runs the /system/bin/setprop command to set the property. The build.prop sets the property on boot but after the phone has booted the build.prop is never read again. So replacing it on write protected devices won't work.

Working Hotspot Without Provisioning Check Guide

For those like myself that want to be able to use hotspot and do not have a custom ROM with it already enabled I found a working solution:
Step 1
Download this hacked apk here:
http://downloadmirror.co/Usp/CarrierEntitlement.apk
Step 2
Your going to want to paste this inside /system_root/system/priv-app/CarrierEntitlement and replace the one already there.
Step 3
Change the permissions on the hacked apk to match the ones on the original (so it functions the same way)
I have attached a screenshot from Root Explorer as to what the correct permissions settings looks like.
Step 4
Reboot and profit.
Cheers,
Jake

Yes because it requires overwriting a system apk. But this is easily achieved with flashing the SuperSU zip in TWRP

This might be a stupid question but can I unroot after making the change?
I suppose. It will stay until you change roms or update. Long as you don't reflash anything it will persist.
If I choose to root device only, Pixel XL, and apply this method, will I still be able to receive the software/security updates from Google? I believe if you have a custom rom installed, it wouldn't work.

What exactly is the process to unroot without a reset? I've rooted every device I've owned and never went back... Until this one. I like android pay... So no root for now. Would love to do the mod and unroot if possible to keep Android pay working. But tethering is far more important than taping my phone to pay.
Inside SuperSU app there an Full Unroot option that will do it for you

Just side load the OTA image. Wont wipe a thing
You can just add the following line to your build.prop file, save and reboot then the provisioning check will be bypassed.
net.tethering.noprovisioning=true
I'm curious why this method is better than the one already listed here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/pixel-xl/themes/mod-tethermod-systemless-install-guide-t3501448
The one linked above can be binded to the /su directory and will survive OTA's...plus it comes with an installer if you use TWRP

Looks like I'll be rooting tonight then. But in reality other than tethering, I really have no need for root, or a need to jump on 7.1.1 just yet.... Unless there is some shiny new toy hidden inside it lol

Rooting after a certain version has the issues you described. I think it happened when the BootLoader upgrade happened. Look into the u firmware. Rooting on this device is different and kind of unstable.

I found one with all workarounds for the problems with rooting this phone. Fixes for data cell service, and you can google wifi fix to save your wifi information after reboot. Involves build.prop editor.

They were able to overcome this with the S7, and Keep samsung pay working so I am hopeful they will find a way for the note8.
It might take awhile but it will come. Other than 1 or 2 mods i feel no need to root. But I would like to have the dual speaker mod.
Peace
This setup runs very smooth and fast. System root, no lag. Very resource friendly.
how do you like root so far? I just put the unlocked version would it be worth going to the rooted version?
Rooted then reverted back to stock but now I can't get any of the stock Verizon apps back ie visual voicemail app. Does anybody know how to get these back? I wanna be able to update to Oreo later on without any issues.

I heard about doing that but didn't know how. I do know that I have the Verizon boot up screen and the 4G LTE logo for the data. It looks like I got HD voice but not for video. I can't even get WiFi calling to activate too.
If you could help me that would be great otherwise I might have to do a warranty replacement which is a last resort that I don't want to do in the first place.

Hi, were you able to flash the userdata partition? I'm not sure how to do this or if I even have the necessary file if needed. I was able to get the UMS button to show with your instruction but now I'm stuck.

Is this under the option tab or UMS button? Do I need another file? Seems like I'm missing something. I'm going to do a search here in the mean time. Btw it seems like I have to use Comsy Odin 3.12 to flash my files without errors.
Thanks for all of your help so far.
Ok looks like I finally was able to get all my Verizon apps back on it. I had to download the N950U firmware which had the USERDATA file that I needed to flash. I'm not sure why there is even a N950U1 firmware to begin with.
I have the August security patch and is still have the U1 baseband. WiFi calling is working but I didn't activate my visual voicemail yet but the app is there though. I didn't activate video calling yet because I would need to setup basic voicemail service first.
Thanks again for all of the help guys.
