Because this is the Verizon version. The bootloader is locked and can not be unlocked.
As far as I can find...there is no root method for the Verizon Note 4 or Note 5.

Root is over for this device. If you buy this version of the Note with 4.4.4 & up you will lose any ability to root, permanently. If it's that important to you search on Swappa or Fleabay for a model that has 4.4.2 or lower OS.
There really should be a sticky note with this headline as it seems this question keeps getting asked. I think some hope the more the question gets asked, sooner or later the answer will change.
im on nc4 (4.4.2)
i didnt know there was a android 5 out.
if i want to manually update from 4.4.2 rooted to 4.4.4 where do i get the verizon 4.4.4 tar at?

i want to trade my note 4 for a note 3. i miss root that much. i found one online that is still runnning 4.4.2 nc4 but he said he had it unlocked and that why he never took the update. will this prevent towel root from working or cause any other issues before i trade. i dont want to trade and get stuck with a note 3 that i can root.

I am still on 4.4.2 NC4. Towel Root DOES work on this version. I am stock, rooted, with Xposed.
What condition is your Note 4? My Note 3 is in excellent condition.....hint hint(wouldn't mind trading...)

You may already know this......but when I was shopping for a Note 3 on eBay & Swappa, a lot of folks advertising 'unlocked' actually meant carrier unlocked.

There is NO bootloader unlock. Period. The developer's edition came with the bootloader unlocked...but the normal OTA updates don't work with it...so no matter what....you're SOL.
All Verizon Note 3's are carrier (SIM) unlocked.

Well I didn't get that one...or was already rooted but very beat up. I did however buy a devepoler edition on ebay...haven't received it yet. I'm regretting buying it as I've been informed that it's not supported by Samsung and people have had issues. Anyone have any feedback for me if I can't return it I'm stuck.

Hello all, i have a Verizon note 3 model sm-n900v, im running lollipop v5.0 stock ROM from Verizon update, i have a few questions that i need help with
1. i need root access to use some apps that require root, i know there is no working root method for the v5.0 update right now, i don't care about the Knox counter if i trip it or not, i just want root access,
2. is there any way to flash a rom that has root access ? if so whats a good rom to try ?
3. i want to be able to use my note 3 on straight talk service, i looked at the APN settings and its greyed out, so i cant add any APN's to the list, can this be done with a new rom?
4. how can i tell if my note 3 is locked ? my wife has a galaxy s5 through a different carrier named Appalachian Wireless and i took her sim card out and put it in my phone and made a call to our home phone and
her number was shown on the caller id, so i know i can use sim cards from that company, but what about straight talk?
any help with these questions would be great, thanks in advance

i think ill just get a new phone, and give this note 3 to my wife, she would never use any app that needs root access anyway, thanks, i got the note 3 downgraded to 4.4.4 from 5.0 but thats as far back as i can go, verizon needs to unlock the bootloader on these notes

That's what I'm about to do. My note 3 I'd rooted though. I'm keeping it. I just sold my note 4 edge on swappa. That was the worst Samsung phone I have ever had besides the s4. The worst phone I have ever had period.

Hello! i tried all to root my device! but nothing works! someone knows whats happen?
always odin give my an error ?:
You can't root if you have lollipop installed unril someone finds a vulnerability. Verizon and Samsung locked the bootloader.

I am guessing that development for the Note 3 is all but dead now that they have the Note 5 and the new Nexus phones out, and that really sucks for those of us that love the Note 3 and are stuck with Lollipop. I really hope that some dev out here will still work on the Note 3 and find a way for us to get root.
Yep pretty much the case no root no hope hell note 4 is looking pretty grim too.
I've been debating my upgrade choices lately, and what I really need in a upgraded phone. As of now I have the note 4 and I need root. What choices are out there for verizon? And do I have to go to an older phone to have root?
I got tired of waiting for root on the note4 - got the nexus 6p - much better phone and it can be activated on verizon. (I'm choosing to try project fi though as it's so much cheaper..)
I just got my wife the note 4, it doesn't have root still?
I have the sm-n910w8 I think it's rooted with cf root but no luck with es file explorer can't delete system files nor does supersu asks for access

Do you have the Sm-n910w8 running on the verizon network?
No it was videotron, unlocked it to use on koodo/telus
Nexus 5, 6, 5x or 6p
S5 or Note 3 that was already rooted or wasn't updated. both on the latest updates cant be rooted. Note 3 had poor reception for me.
Note 4 Dev Ed if you can find one
Thank finally some information. Glad I'm not a fanboy. I started with htc, stayed with them 4 yrs. Til the note series started, been with them til now.
I am pretty new to rooting a phone but i was just looking around for a way to root my verizon note 4 SM-N910V on Android 5.0.1.
I tried googling and reading up on it but I have never rooted a phone before so I did not know exactly how to do it.
Sorry if this is an unnecessary post, thanks !

Unfortunately, there is really no root for it. I wouldn't even attempt a temporary on this phone.

sorry friend, you picked one of the worst development phones. nothing yet. Im hoping someday but its not looking great. My advice, find someone to trade their Tmobile note 4 for your VZW one. Thats what Im trying to do
ebay rooted ones?
I thought Tmobile note 4 wouldn't work on VZW? with custom ROM?
Saw some rooted Verizon Note 4 on eBay. I wonder if those were rooted before VZW locked the bootloader.
Would I be stuck with 4.4.4 if I get those?

The bootloader has always been locked, since day one. If they're rooted, they are development edition phones. There never has been root for this phone, and the bootloader has been locked down since day one.
C'mon folks... search the forum!!!
