Okay so I just got my hands on the N910U running 5.0.1. It is prompting me to update to 5.1.1 which as far as I can tell I can use the current CF Auto Root for this one to get it rooted. From there I should be able to install TWRP for this particular Note 4 along with the current 6.0.1 modem/bootloader/etc right? Or am I missing something here? I want to make sure I got everything down pat on getting this Note 4 nice and ready for it's owner who wanted me to get it nice romed and rooted!
Thanks in advance!

Thanks in advance for the help, hopefully we can figure this out.
Currently my Verizon Note 3 is stuck in a boot loop and I can't get out of it. I have tried all the methods that I have found on here including wiping data/ factory reset and trying to go back to a stock firmware (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2483380). Anyways, I got myself into this problem, I wasn't thinking straight... Basically I flashed my N3 from 4.3 using safestrap to JasmineRom 5.0. After that I updated to JasmineRom 5.0.2 doing a dirty flash over the 5.0 with FlashFire (http://forum.xda-developers.com/general/paid-software/flashfire-t3075433). I was surprised how easy it was actually, I have been on a rooted stock firmware since day 1. After everything was running fine, I had the brilliant idea of using FlashFire to install the Lollipop Xposed Framework (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3034811). This is where the boot loop happened and is happening. Everything I try doesn't seem to work... I was looking into trying to convert a zip to a tar so I can use Odin to re-flash on JasmineRom, but I have had no luck, I get a "Unsupport Dev_Type" error in my Recovery. I am not sure what to do or try, any help would be appreciated.
note: I read the known issue with Lollipop's Xposed Framework install and thought that I was on a custom Samsung Rom and shouldn't have problem?
Also, I can't role back to a previous firmware through Odin because I am upgraded to 5.0 and can't re-install JasmineRom because I am stuck in the boot loop (at least I think so).
I hope someone can help. I stupidly did the samething last night to mine. after it was running so well. I jsut wanted to theme out the damn ugly green in notifications
Well looks like I have phone running again but I had to run stock so no more root for me. Very upset. I want to buy either another used note 3 that still can run this rom or maybe find a note4 reasonably priced. NOT a POS clone.
but runing odin with the 5.0 android file it restored but would not allow 4.4.2 or
4.4.4

I did the same and updated to 5.0 with Verizon through Odin. It fixed it but just lost my root privilege as well... Atm I am glad to have a working phone. I found an error that told me my current software level when I was stuck (5.0.2) and the reason for the error (attempting to downgrad). Looks like Samsung is blocking downgrades.. That is why it wouldn't restore any lower .. Just gotta hope that a 5.0 root comes out.
You should use the dedication Verizon Note forum .
Glad you have your working again as well. I believe verizon is doing this not samsung. VZW does not want us in control of what we put on our phones or more yet what we can do with them without paying extra fees.
Hey everyone, I've been completely out of the loop for about a year now as far as updating and rooting is concerned, so if somebody could help me out I'd really appreciate it! I have a rooted Verizon galaxy S5 with Kit Kat 4.4.2, and it seems like Lollipop is now available to the S5. I haven't gotten any updates from Verizon or any other source for my phone for about a year now because I wanted to keep root and I know that updating often kills root. I literally disabled/froze all the Verizon updater apps with Titanium backup.
So what I want to know is what is the newest android version I can update to and still keep root, and what is the process of updating to ensure that I still maintain root permissions? Also, I use the xposed framework, so will that continue to work? I might have a custom recovery, I'm not sure but I can check if it matters.
Thanks so much for anyone's help.
Check sammobile dot com, instructions and ODIN to flash are under the download

Thanks man, would you recommend updating to lollipop? Is it a better version of Android in your opinion?
For me, it's much better, for others it's worse
I've switched back to KK to test, and I lasted 10 minutes before flashing back to Lollipop, much smoother, faster, and better looking IMO
Ok, my device is the Note 4 SM-N901C, Baseband is: N901CXXU1BOE1, Thailand. I rooted it recently and I might revert back to stock as I am just not needing it rooted right now. Not really taking full control over it like I wanted. I was wondering if there is any way to get 5.1.1 for my device and if Marshmellow could be installed using another baseband for my model? Forgive these questions, I am not much up to date on all the root, baseband, kernel lingo and don't know much about it. This is my first Samsung, and possibly my last since they are super slow in releasing OS updates. I am still stuck on 5.0.1 while the rest of the world is sporting 5.1.1. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
Has anyone been able to or know how to root either one of the tablets I got them both today from at&t the 10.1 inch and the 8.0. I haven't been able to find any info on these mainly how to root and install recovery. Can't find anything device specific to these. Any info would be greatly appreciated
@slumerican35 you can only root them on kitkat, not lollipop. I believe towelroot will work for both. And the AT&T models have locked bootloaders, so unfortunately no custom kernels (ie no CyanogenMod type ROMs) and no custom recoveries

Its easy download towel root from this website towelroot by geohot.
Now press the red symbol it looks like an opposite y press it and your device is rooted
Get Kingroot from this site, it works on lollipop.
towel root
towel root worked fine for me, after odin tar. file, sm t337a kk NK2, to bad there is no custom recovery.
anyway this device seems to be owned by few people, ALSO, can 5.1 be rooted permanently? or still temp'?
thanks guys.
Like the title says, I have a g900v running 4.4.2 with ank7 and it seems like that's a combo nobody else has. I had it rooted before but I believe I accidentally updated with an OTA at one point and lost root. Does anyone know how to regain root from here, or guide me to which updates I should install to get to a rootable firmware? Thanks in advance!
also, I do like 4.4.2 a little more than 5.0. My gf has 5.0 and I'm not too fond of it, but if 5.0 or 6.0 are a lot better speed-wise then I'd be ok with upgrading. I'm just not a big fan on how it looks.
Does anyone have any tips or knowledge on what I need to do to get root back?
Have you tried to root using towelroot by geohot?
you can install it just by googling towelroot and then installing it
once installed you just click make it rain and you should get root
Try this web page if it doesn't work at first
http://www.naldotech.com/how-to-fix-towelroot-phone-isnt-supported-problem/
otherwise flash using odin to a different KitKat firmware that is supported by towelroot and then root
