I own a Note5 dual sim N9208 (India). Since 2 weeks its battery is kind of losing charge capacity. When battery is completely depleted and then charger is connected, it shows phone is 13% charged ( sometimes 5% , 8%). I have followed all kind of battery calibration methods. So i want to get my battery replaced under Samsung's warranty and my knox counter is tripped.
So my question is do samsung executives really check knox counter? Or they simply skip it?
You can share your experience if you have been in this situation.
ifyou tripped knox you will have deep sleep issues.
Be sure to check around for a patch.
No first hand experience but my hunch is that for battery charging issue they wouldn't. Just a hunch!

Yes they will the samsung service centers do check. On my galaxy mega it went back for faulty usb. At first they argued it was due to rooting. Lol however pointer out samsungs poor usb failure rates on that and prev models and was told on this occasion they wont charge. Howevwr they did check
Just delete the kernel so it doesn't boot...

I would probably use odin to ensure the device won't enter download mode...then there's no checking...

Also odin flashing stock firmware would install stock kernel.

samsung is using a new tool fan_rir (something like that) to flash firmwares. my headphones werent working so they replaced them, but they connected my phone and flashed firmware. when i asked them about this step they replied phone has to be connected to this software for using warranty benefits. i think that software will detect knox status.
anybody having ideas??

So I just came across this tweet from droidx - https://youtu.be/QicDqTKb_sU supposedly this root method will work with any android phone 5.1.1 or lower. Lots of caution needed here due to the origin and amount of permissions needed, but he did show it rooting a Verizon note 4. I have the apk but haven't tried it as I'm using a prerooted image and haven't flashed back to stock.
http://www.kingroot.net
UPDATED INFO (5/13/15)
1) English version is available here through XDA (LINK);
2) This is a temporary root that doesn't survive a reboot (this is due to write protection); and
3) A permanent root solution (for the Note 4) is being worked on off of XDA (due to some thread circumstances) (reference is here).
Right now there is no word of anyone working on a Droid Turbo permanent root solution.
New perma-root discussion for the Note 4 is here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=60713495
Update (5/18/15)
1) There is a new script out that will delete kinguser and install supersu instead! The link is here. Keep in mind that this script will need to be modified for our device, but according to the script authors it should be applicable.
2) It has been recommended to soft reboot the device using this app from the play store. There are a million of these type of apps available, but this one is being used on the Note 4 side.
Tried installing and Android warned me of "code that attempts to bypass Android security" text box and I clicked don't install.

Download the version directly from their website. I'm going to remove the English site link.
The official version doesn't have that issue.
I forwarded over to @JustinCase but he doesn't have time to dig into it.

Of course it attempts to bypass Android security, it's an app that gives you root.

I just read a ton of the note 4 thread, and many people had to try a few times to get it to work. Supposedly this is just a temp root method on devices with write protection. If you do get root, try a reboot and see if it sticks.
I'm not sure if this method in it's current form gets us anything over what we have now but it could lead to more.
Mine failed too

I've heard enabling allow mock locations might be necessary.
They are working on a perm method but nothing yet. This is very interesting.
FYI this doesn't install SuperSU or let it be installed.
Yeah, temp root. No write permissions.

tried the app and the pc app method.. both didtn work for the droid turbo. now im thinking they stole some info.
Hi despite my limited rooting knowledge I thought I'd try a beta test for a Rom. I downloaded the kernel and bootloader I needed to flash and did these via Odin. I flashed the Rom and it booted fine, but now my screen will not work correctly. I have to press and inch above whatever it is that i'm trying to press, even with the s pen. When I realized this problem I wiped the phone using TWRP and flashed Cm again except the problem was still there once the phone booted. I have now wiped the phone and flashed stock 5.1.1 onto my Note 4 and the problem is still there. I'm really starting to panic now. Can someone help?
Downgrade to 5.0.1. If problem still persists your screen might actually be broken otherwise its a software problem.
The screen worked completely fine before I flashed the kernel so surely it's something to do with software? I'm scared i've broke my phone

You have to Odin back to stock. You can't just wipe in factory recovery, it still leaves the eng kernel in place.
Well I was on official PG1 firmware , and followed the instructions on how to root I did it and nothing of my stuff got erased neither did I factory reset anything

I removed all traces of the icon in the imsservice.apk and it is still showing up. I'm going to dig into SystemUi.apk and see if it's in there. Will be busy until tomorrow catching Pokemon at a PG meet up, but I'll keep you guys updated.
Yeah that shouldn't be showing up if you're completely stock. IF you still have the eng-kernel then it'll be there no matter what you do unless you either edit the imsservice.apk file or odin back to stock factory rom.

Even editing the apk isn't working. I feel like it's deeper in the system. I removed every trace of stat_notify_volte* and stat_notify_rcs* and it is still there

There are threads throughout the forum about removing the rcs icon in the status bar. It shouldn't be too difficult to remove. I was able to do it but I was receiving an "imsservice error" every time I called certain people. Which lead me to believe it wasn't completely effective so I reverted completely back to stock (it was gone) then flashed the engkernel (which brought it back) and from there I simply considered it a small price to pay for root access. Wouldn't you agree?
It's there to remind you of root

My cellular data keeps on disconnecting and it shows a exclamation point on the signal. I'm using G900v on t-mobile network. The issue only happens running Marshmallow. I've tried AICP, PhoenixRom and Cyanogenmod 13. All have the same issue. It happens randomly and immediately after a phone call. I constantly have to turn on and off data to reset it.
If I install Lollipop there are no issues. I've tried everything I can find online but nothing seems to work. My APN setting are correct.
Can anyone help figure out why?
Make sure you are on a mm modem check by going to settings about and check what baseband /modem you are on

Tried that already. Went back to stock Verizon Lollipop.... Rooted.... bootloader unlock and updated to MM.
Let me know if you find a solution to this! Been bothering me for a while. To be clear, my problem only exists in non-TouchWiz ROMS.
I am also having exactly same issue but instead of exclamation sign, I get small white x on the signal bars. I also have Verizon S5 that I am using on T-mobile. I had no issues when I was using ATT but this problem started as soon as I switched to T-mobile. My data disconnects randomly and I have to either disable or switch to airplane mode to enable data. Is there a solution to this problem without going back to Lollipop? Currently, I am on Cosmin-OS 7.1.1
does anyone know where i can find the latest modem to flash on my verizon variant , my signal has been poor lately and i wanted to know if flashing the latest baseband would help currently im on a 7.1.2 rom and the baseband is the g900vvvru2bpb1 .
Well, after fixing the weird brick from a few days ago, today something happened way more annoying. Had the phone in my pocket, but when I checked it later it was off. Tried to boot it, but nothing happened. Thought that the battery might be dead (which whould be weird because it was around 80% when last checking) so tried charging it, still nothing happened. Tried switching the battery, still dead. Tried rebooting in safe mode/recovery mode/download mode, still dead. As far as I know I have tried everything. Anyone ever had similar problems, and did they fix it by any chance?
I think the EMMC is dead. I have the same problem before, I just ordered the used motherboard form Ebey, and switched the motherboard. Right now is working fine.

Was there any particular event that killed your EMMC? And would you recommend replacing mine if i only have three more months until I can get a new phone?
EMMC dead is the common issue for Note 4. I know many people have the problem and post in here. What model of your Note 4. My is N910T. I got my N910T motherboard from ebay, and the price is $65
