After sending my Note 5 into a bootloop (first one ever in my history of flashing & rooting 6+ Android devices ... first time for everything but not a record I wanted broken!!) following a "guide" posted by another user here, I figured I'd try to throw something a little clearer out here for all us n00bs looking to rec 'n' root their rockin' phone.
IMPORTANT STUFF BEFORE YOU START!!!
1. These steps worked for the Malaysian variant of the Note 5. *** IT MAY NOT WORK FOR YOU. *** (In theory, it should work for any phone with similar basebands; but then again, it may not.) This guide works perfectly for Note 5s with the following specs (Settings > About device > Software info):
Android version : 6.0.1
Build number: MMB29K.N9208XXU2BPD4
2. I'm just an amateur trying to eke a little more mileage out of what is (by most standards) an already decent phone and because I do have a love (and patience) for tinkering around with this stuff. *** I AM NOT A DEVELOPER, LET ALONE A PROFESSIONAL *** and I take no responsibility for your phone bootlooping, getting bricked, bursting into flames, or infecting patient zero. Fixing your phone will almost always take 100^ longer than the amount of time you spent messing it up in the first place - terradune's law.
3. Samsung has gone out of their way to be extra douchebaggy this time by hard-baking in bloatware that can't be removed/frozen even with TiBu, such as Smart Manager (com.samsung.android.sm, which is not visible in TiBu). If you think that rooting is going to be the answer to all your bloatware woes on the Note 5 (as it once was), this is your only warning that this time, it won't be.
-- BEWARE ALL YE WHO ENTER HERE --
-- LAST CHANCE TO EXIT THIS THREAD --
-- NO SERIOUSLY, I STAYED UP TILL 5AM TRYING TO FIX THE BOOTLOOP AND WAS SOUNDLY REMINDED WHY I'D BEEN SO WARY OF GETTING A PHONE WITH A NON-REMOVABLE BATTERY (my first, to boot ... ) --
Still here? Fine, here goes nothing:
GUIDE:
Part A - Rooting:
1. Backup, backup, backup. I started with a Note 5 fresh out of the box and updated straight away to Marshmallow before rooting, but if you didn't, then there may be apps / data you want to save & carry over. Once you're done with your backups (and have a copy of those backups somewhere safe like on your PC, in case things really go south), go on to Step 2 below.
2. {OPTIONAL STEP} Find and download the stock firmware applicable to your variant at Sammobile so that in case things go wrong, you'll have it close at hand to quickly restore your phone to working order.
3. At this point, if you're on Lollipop (Android version 5.1.1), you can decide if you want to update to Marshmallow. Because, in case you skipped the whole section of "IMPORTANT STUFF" above, this guide is for an N9208 on Marshmallow ONLY.
4. Head over to Chainfire's website and search for "nobleltextc".
5. Check (again) that your Build number matches the Build ID (MMB29K.N9208XXU2BPD4) - if it does, go ahead and hit Download.
6. Boot your phone into download mode (Power off completely, then press and hold Vol Down+Home+Power buttons all at the same time).
7. Extract the zip {CF-Auto-Root-noblelte-nobleltextc-smn9208} that you just downloaded into a folder.
8. In the folder, right-click on "Odin3-v3.10.6" (or whatever Odin version was included) and select "Run as Administrator".
9. Plug your phone in. One of the panels on the left side of the Odin window should light up blue. (If it doesn't, Google for a solution as you have an issue quite unrelated to this guide.)
10. Click on the "AP" button (DON'T TOUCH ANYTHING ELSE!!), navigate to the CF-Auto-Root folder and select "CF-Auto-Root-noblelte-nobleltextc-smn9208.tar".
11. Hit the "Start" button.
12. Wait for phone to reboot (this may take a while).
13. Enjoy rooted goodness.
14. {OPTIONAL STEP} Donate to Chainfire for being The One True Rooter of your Note 5.
Part B - Recovery:
*** If you don't know what recovery is, you probably don't need it. Rooting is often enough for most users' needs so you can stop right here unless you know what you're doing next. ***
1. Noblelte is the applicable TWRP version for the N9208 Marshmallow, so head over here and download {twrp-3.0.2-1-noblelte.img.tar}. There may be a newer version, but this is what's working for me. YMMV.
2. Go back to the CF-Auto-Root folder, right-click on "Odin3-v3.10.6" (or whatever Odin version was included) and select "Run as Administrator".
3. Plug your phone in. One of the panels on the left side of the Odin window should light up blue. (If it doesn't, Google for a solution as you have an issue quite unrelated to this guide.)
4. Click on the "AP" button (DON'T TOUCH ANYTHING ELSE!!), navigate to the folder where you downloaded {twrp-3.0.2-1-noblelte.img.tar} and select that file.
5. Hit the "Start" button.
6. Wait for phone to reboot (this may take a while).
7. Power off and boot into recovery.
8. Wipe cache and Dalvik cache. Reboot.
9. Enjoy your brand-spanking new Team Win recovery.
SOME DON'TS TO FINISH OFF:
1. Many N9208 rooting guides out there advise that you need an app called "CROM services" to unlock your phone, and that it is downloadable from the Galaxy Apps store. If you do a search in the Galaxy Apps store on your phone and come up empty (as I did), YOU (PROBABLY) DON'T NEED IT. Enabling OEM Unlock and USB Debugging in Developer Options is enough to allow you to gain root. Don't go Googling for the CROM services apk (as suggested) as the few sites providing a download link look somewhat dodgy and there is no guarantee that it would be a verified apk download of this app (translated: you might wind up downloading malware).
2. If you've followed this guide exactly, you have SuperSU and you DO NOT need to flash it separately (as some other guides advise). As such, DO NOT flash over SuperSU even if the TWRP recovery offers to do it. SuperSU was already installed when you rooted the phone in the first part of the guide above. (If you'd read the scrolling phone logs while CF-Autoroot was being installed, Chainfire provides the same warning.)
I hope that at least some of you Note 5 owners out there found this guide useful. Toodles!
Excellent tutorial. Works very well for Indian Note 5 Duos too
Great guide! Very detailed. I'm actually downloading from SamMobile the Philippine update for marshmallow. After the download I'll try to root it using this guide of yours and give you an update. Thanks again!
Edit: My build number ends in PE2 and chainfire doesn't have an auto-root for this version. sad.

If the Build Number is not match?
Same is SM-N9208 marshmallow, but with the Build Number end with PE2
Can I use the CF Root file with different Build Number but same Marshmallow, will it causing any problem?

thank you for this tutorial it worked on my n9208xxu2bpd5. hope i can now fix my battery draining problem.
*update: it fixed my battery draining problem. 0.7-0.9% per hour from 7% per hour.

It doesnt work because you need the CROM Service apk to unlock your bootloader. I am in the same boat as you

Hi there.. Urs is PG3 and u using the same nobleltextc file to root?
Also wanna ask this root will increase the knox counter, I survey around forum said that counter could void warranty. (I am new to root).
Thanks.
may i know how to add TWRP without root?

This is my first time rooting too! And yes I used the root file for the build number which ended in PD4 (nobleltextc) while my phone was PG3. I used it because it had the same model number and the Android version as my Note. And I installed TWRP so I'm not sure how to check the Knox counter but a long time ago before I successfully got root I was trying to install TWRP and I believe it tripped the Knox counter. So if you're trying to preserve your warranty I don't recommend rooting or installing TWRP. I didn't have to worry about warranty so I did it. If you have any further questions just reply to this post. I'll he happy to help if I can!

Hey Hairulnuzams! So to add TWRP without root you use the same tutorial that the original poster of this thread gave at the end of his first post after the rooting instructions. That method does not require root but you will have to download Odin separately since you won't be downloading the root file. A WORD OF CAUTION: DO NOT DO THIS IF YOU DON'T WANT TO TRIP YOUR KNOX COUNTER! AND THERE'S NO GUARANTEE THIS WILL WORK! I tried to do this after checking out many tutorials but it did not work for me. However after getting root it worked perfectly. So it's up to you to take the risk if you choose to.
Here's the XDA Developers page for getting TWRP: http://www.xda-developers.com/how-to-install-twrp/
and here's another non-XDA page for using Odin: http://androiding.how/how-to-install-twrp-recovery-using-odin/ ( I personally turned on OEM Unlock AND USB Debugging)

I would love to help but unfortunately I'm not familiar with how to do that. However someone is bound to reply to your post and if not you should post this question in another forum on XDA more suited to this question. Meanwhile you can check out this web page: http://www.makeuseof.com/tag/trick-apps-android-rooted/ I haven't tried any of these methods so I'm not responsible if they don't work or damage your phone. I recommend you research more into these methods and be careful! I hope I helped!

Please help me I am thinking of setting it on fire!!!
Try install Kies and try again...
/CK
tried with old kies and kies 3 as well.Also tried older drivers.
Do i have a locked BootLoader?This shouldnt be the case as it is an n9005.
Any way to check if bootloader is locked and if so any way to unlock it for the international version?
Thanks!
No one?

I had the same issue while rooting my Galaxy S4,tried on every other laptop,different ports,cables and more but then I realized I was using the wrong file.
Yes,the international version comes with Bootloader unlocked so your bootloader is fine.Are you able to boot your phone into Download mode?I am sure u cant boot into Recovery mode,can you?
First go back and check your phone's model no and use the proper file and try again!I will help you,dont worry!
I deactivated the reactivation lock but still the same problem.I have Downloaded the CF-Auto-Root-hlte-hltexx-smn9005.tar file several times same thing every time.My last chance is doing a full wipe of the system and then trying again.I hope orange Romania CSC does't have some sort of security block.
Frustrating thing is the phone is fully functional so i cannot ask for a replacement.And even after the dozens of failed flash attempts it still reads 0x0.
YES!!!Finally.A full wipe did it.!Thank you for your interest in helping me.

Before you wanna flash. Don't forget to uncheck reactivation lock, put off your external sd card. And look carefully for your modem and radio. Don't switch with the another kernel before official launch comes.

Help please, I have a (Note 3) SM-N900V on JSS15J.N900VVRUBMJE.
I bought it on Jan 12th ish, and took the firmware update as soon as I saw it because of some reading I had done.... shouldn't have done that I guess.
I am still totally unable to root this thing, Kingo, Odin v3.0.9. I am willing to do w/e (go back to older firmware even if possible)
I know there are no guarantees in this attempt, and would not hold you to anything, I have rooted every other android I have had and am very familiar with the process, any help you can offer would be greatly appreciated

Hello there,
I have looked through the forums and have attempted various different tutorials on how to un-root and flash back to the stock firmware. I am with Rogers Wireless (Canada), and have downloaded Odin and N900W8VLUBMI5_N900W8OYABMI5_RWC which is the rogers firmware for my device. Every time I connect my device to Odin in download mode, select PDA / AP, I get an error log with the following:
Code:
<ID:0/004> Removed!!

On the phone itself, I see:
"SW REV CHECK FAIL: [sb1]Fused 2 > Binary 1"
I cannot seem to flash it, no matter what I do.
Any help is appreciated, I would really like to flash back to the stock firmware and remove root. Thank you.

You are currently on a newer firmware (you can check it in Settings/About or with *#1234# ). You are on a new bootloader and you will not be able to return to an older firmware. Check your knox status - if that is 0x1 you will also never be able to make it back to 0x0. Read around for more info (but generally you should be able to write the latest ROM from your carrier, and that should also remove root).

Thank you for the reply,
I see that knox is set to 0x1, doh. Where would I be able to find / download the same / latest firmware for my Rogers Wireless Note 3?
Edit: Found it, thank you. So there will NEVER be a way to trip knox back to 0x0?

I don't know about Rogers, but for instance you can look here:
http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/1/?model=SM-N900W8&pcode=RWC#firmware
There is also another option that might also work - with Kies 3 using Tools -> Emergency firmware recovery - but I believe you might need the latest Kies version and even that one might not work. (I consider that one a little safer only in the fact that if something very bad happens you might get away with free service on it by saying Kies created the problem, while saying that you bricked the phone in Odin will guarantee that service will NOT be covered by warranty).

your right, kies does helps, but was wondering can we blame kies for the 0x1 when flashing back to stock if we do a warrenty exchange through the carrier? haha
After I flashed Poland 4.4.2 rom I lost my warranty and Knox now 0×1. ANY ideas how to fix it.

Hi all,
I am new to rooting (first attempted root) and working with Android, so I'm not familiar with all the jargon.
Earlier I attempted to root my Galaxy S5 (G900V) using jrkruise's guide (http://forum.xda-developers.com/verizon-galaxy-s5/general/root-method-og5-ok3-t3290370). Following the guide closely, after running root.bat I used Odin as per the instructions at the end of the root.bat program. Odin gave me the notification that it was successful. So as per the instructions I attempted to turn on my phone, however it was stuck at the Samsung Galaxy S5 screen.
I have tried factory reset/format and clearing data cache to no avail. I have also tried putting a stock ROM back on via Odin and was met with this message.

I was following the exact same directions and ended up with the same issue. Did you try the root process again and find out where you (and probably I) messed up while following the directions on your given link? Before rooting I purchased SuperSu Me, but never opened it. You seem to be a little ahead of me, but I'm also in your boat. I hope to find out your result.

Nope, I'm not entirely sure where I messed up in the first place. I haven't tried the root process again and intend to wait a while before trying again, I don't want to risk bricking/messing up my phone right now. Next time I think I'll be more careful following the instructions configuring the King Root .apk.
Well I went ahead and gave it a 2nd try and had success! Here are some notes that will help you.
1. Do factory reset so nothing is in the way and start up your cell, copy and past over KingRoot, & install it.
2. At this time also copy over Knox_Removal_SU_BB_INIT.D.zip (The actual whole .zip file) to a folder on your device
3. I "Prepared My Phone For Root" at the bottom of the steps and then went to the top and ran root.bat and then root2.bat. I did get hung up on the "Samsung Galaxy S5" screen again, but I looked at the command prompt screen that opens with root.bat and it was prepared for that situation and had directions for me to follow. I followed those directions and was able to boot up. At this point I went to the Play store, signed in, and installed the SuperSU Me paid app and followed the directions.
4. On Step 6 of the directions, it says to flash OK3, but I noticed the BPB1 file (and saw it was newer when the developer added it) and used it instead as it is newer software.
5. Everything else ran smooth, when you're asked to install the Knox Removal .zip, it's on your device, just find the .zip file itself and open/run it.
Hope this information helps and now I'm off to figure out how I can use the hotspot feature, given I have unlimited data. (That was my entire purpose for rooting)

Tried flashing another stock ROM trying to get back to stock from root. That didn't work. Then I flashed this and am able to boot. But my mobile data icon is just 4G instead of being 4G LTE (or LTE), and I'm missing the WiFi calling button as well.
So, I probably need to flash the radios and everything with this. So, do I flash the AP first from the ZIP, then everything else after, or can I flash them all at once? Not an experienced ODIN user. Only used it a handful of times.

Yes you must flash all parts of this to be on stock PI4 ROM. But remember that you will lose root and not get it back.
You sir are a life saver thank you so much i was stupid didnt read thru forums and tried to root on the latest update...this flashed via odin brought my phone back to life

Thanks, guys. Those were the answers I was looking for.
Hello I want to say thank you for providing the T-Mobile Firmware Package for restoring the Note 7 to its original state after a Rooting atampt botched up. I also had this problem but now restored the phone with the supplied firmware. Thank you.
I do have one problem though. The firmware supplied has the first update with the annoying Safety Recall statement in that hugh box while plug is inserted, pulled out and turned on. I like to know if you can supply the original firmware that the phone came boxed with or if you have some kind of way of getting rid of that stupid annoying big box message that pops up all the time.
And again thank you so much.
Ok I feel like a dumb ass,
This has to be the most complicated root, update I have ever seen. I accidently hit update earlier today which reduced my battery life to 60% I tried living with it today and it was driving me absolutely nuts I thought about taking the phone in and getting a damn iphone just because I'm tired of messing around with this phone..... I tried to root using post one however it keeps failing, I tried rooting using post 2 that also failed. I tried going back one firmware version that also didn't work, I tried doing the samsung smart switch recovery it asks for a code I tried the serial of the phone and model number that also didn't work. Can someone please explain either how to get root from the newest firmware or to revert back to a older firmware that dosen't have this stupid battery restriction. The information of my phone is below .

So I gave that a go and it tells me that the device is not supported after doing the model and serial number lol.

If only it was that easy. As of now I can't even get into android it fails to boot. I cleared cache and factory reset and still won't boot. I'm sure I will have to flash now for sure from recovery or download mode. I think Samsung is ****n with us somehow to not let us flash.

The same thing happened to me. I re-flashed to the recent firmware I had installed originally (the one with the big ugly safety recall message from September). I flashed everything at once BL, AP, CP and CSC(I used the HOME_CSC_*.tar.md5 named file because I was returning to stock)

I think you will find this thread useful as well. It contains definitions and explanations on flashing and working with Odin. I just wish there was more information.
Good luck

My sister's phone is Galaxy Grand Prime and still running Android 4.4.4. I've searched over the net and there is Lollipop update already for some countries. There's still no update here in the Philippines. Can I update this device using firmwares from other countries? Thanks!

If I flashed Lollipop on this device, all data stored on my device will be deleted?
And I searched the latest version of odin, it is now 3.12.3.

As @waleeds1 said, No. But I recommend you to take backup of all your data nd do a factory reset after you flash Lollipop firmware.
That way you won't get any lags or performance glitches.

Make sure you've a good backup. Nd also you've Samsung USB drivers already installed in your PC.
Power off your device nd boot in download mode by pressing Volume Down + Home + Power Buttons together.
Then open Odin nd connect your phone to PC via data cable nd press volume Up key on phone, then if it shows you "Added" in Odin you're good to go.
Select the AP option nd select the firmware which you've downloaded. Now it'll take some time to verify the md5 as depending upon the speed of your PC. Once it has verified you'll be able to click on other options. So now you've to click on Start nd make sure you don't move your device or the connection doesn't cut off or your device might get hard bricked.
That's it, the flashing time would be about 4-5 minutes. After it is flashed the phone will reboot nd now you can factory reset the device properly for a clean new device.
I've told everything you needed to know.
Enjoy!

The thing you said is correct but I recommend first start your phone without factory reseting @jelmerpeligrino becuase if u dont face any performance or other issues. But if u wish to factory then its still a good choice

Yes I told that in my second post.
Actually I believe he has been using Kitkat from a long time nd for most of the apps, the things have changed. The API differences creates certain problems as it is recommended by Samsung itself to factory reset the device after Android version change.
From Kitkat to Kitkat nd Lollipop to Lollipop factory reset is not needed but for SDK changing it is needed.

No you don't have the right firmware for your device. The baseband difference. Post a screenshot from your About Phone nd also the link of firmware you're trying to flash.

So far, it was good. The performance is better now compared to Kitkat and and the sluggishness was gone. Thanks bro!
Btw, do you have any Marshmallow ROM for this device?
