[Q] Galaxy Note N9100 (China Dual SIM Model) Root

Hi All,
Firstly SORRY for posting here. This should be in the dev thread, but I have no rights there.
I am unable to post to post in the developer thread (being newly registered) and I am hoping Chainfire can provide a root for the Galaxy Note 4 SM-N9100 China model. He has requested that the recovery.img file from the phone model's stock ROM be attached. He has already provided the root for a few other files but I see in another post, he didn't do it for this one because he couldn't download the firmware easily. I have downloaded the stock firmware and extracted the needed file.
If someone with dev posting rights can help post the attached file to this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1980683&page=55
I would be super super appreciative :fingers-crossed:
Many thanks.

For thanks in advance to Chainfire, I have just made a donation.....
.... now praying.... can't use my apps purchased on Google Play on this phone without the root.

thanks chainfire!
tried it on mine but it didn't work. had a flash write failure...

Maybe Locked Bootloader
First, big thanks to Chainfire for the super fast action!!
But yeah, I've got the same issue. The recovery.img was from sammobile for n9100, so I don't think that is the problem.
I am suspecting it is a locked bootloader. Unfortunately I'm not at the moment able to detect this as while adb is working fine, fastboot is not recognizing the device. If anyone else knows how to easily check if the bootloader is locked (and has a good way to unlock without using fastboot), everything would be great.

Fastboot not supported for n9100
Ok tried fastboot on a different PC. Doesn't work for n9100 either. Can't detect devices in bootloader mode. Adb is ok. So likely not usb issue, must be simply not available on n9100 and from searching about seems Samsung likely doesn't support fastboot for many devices.

Troubleshooting
After further research, not too sure about the bootloader being the issue. Actually the SM-N9100 is not carrier branded or locked that I could tell. If the other models' roots work, then it makes no sense for this to be the issue here.
Chainfire, I see you posted that you may replace the ROOT you made for this model. If it helps in troubleshooting, here is what happened.
1 - Downloaded the stock firmware from here: http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/3/?download=36308
2 - Posted to you the recovery.img file from the ROM - not sure if that was the one you used. But after soft bricking my device by trying the root, I can confirm that I could reflash with the stock firmware and all went well.
3 - When trying the root, it starts no problem, but then there is a Write Fail error in Odin. If needed, I can repeat the process to provide all text and screenshots. There was no Red Android icon. The bootloader screen has some failure message and the Android icon remained green.
4 - Phone would not restart stating there was a firmware issue and that I should perform a recovery in Kies.
5 - I did not perform a recovery in Kies, but rather I reflashed (using Odin) the stock firmware. This worked ok.... but of course, I still have no root. Since the reflash worked, then I can only assume the recovery.img file is fine for my SM-N9100
I have used your Autoroot in the past for my Note 2 N7100 model, and it worked with absolutely no issue whatsoever. So I don't think the problem is that I am not following the Odin settings correctly or that I have some USB issue.
Thanks.

Further Details
I've added a screenshot of the Odin failure.
BTW, I noticed someone posted a rooting video in YouTube with this CF AutoRoot for N9100
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mXpPSjlzrok
Funny the video stops right before the failure and you don't see the "PASS" result in Odin!
So I don't know if anyone has been successful with this root at all!

sm-n9100
Hi
I rooted my SAMSUNG GT-N9100 with Cf-Auto root via Odin everything was ok process was passed and phone took a restart i checked the apps there was superSU but when i opened it, it just waiting and happened nothing. I restart my phone in recovery mode to update gapps or other superSu upte it giving a write error. it was not rooted you can't do anything.

since you buy N9100, so i consider u can read a few chinese (if not u can use google translate to help u)
i've seen in chinese forums they can root N9100 without problems, so i give u a few links to help
here is the step by step for root :
http://www.muzisoft.com/root/80910.html
and
in here it said u need to flash cwm first..this is the link for recovery
http://www.muzisoft.com/recovery/80827.html
and then after that u need to put supersu.zip to ur sd card, so this is the link for the supersu.zip
http://www.muzisoft.com/softs/bixu/80821.html
hope this can help root ur device
or actually u can download root apps in chinese, there are a few root apps that u can use for root the phone

Looks like the 9100 just got the recent OTA yesterday.
I'm rooted so need the full Odin flashable ANK5 from sammobile:

Keep getting status 3 errors with chinese CWM.
Does any one know how to get twrp installed on sm-n9100.

I was hoping someone with Developmet skills could help me with making a rooting file for me.

Just flash it via Odin
Or either flash cmw recovery and it will ask you upon first reboot is you want to install su.
Both work for me

[Q] Samsung Galaxy S3 NEO GT-I9301I SuperSU ERROR

Hey XDA Devolpers readers, can someone help me?
Two days ago I root my Samsung Galaxy S3 NEO version 4.4.2 via Odin 3.10 and CF-Auto-Root (downloaded from this WebSite).
Before i root my device, all work's perfectly (I used programs that require root and work perfectly), but when passed 2 days, I opened SuperSU and a message appeared saying :
" There is no SU binary installed, and SuperSU cannot install it.
This is a problem! If you just upgraded to Android 4.3, you need to manually re-root - consult the revelant forums for your device! "
I tried to update but it did'nt work.
Can someone help me? Thank's! Sorry for my English..​

Root again with 4.4 method. Check development section or my signature for twrp + root

Root problem

Here is alot reports of cf-autoroot and cwm/twrp rooting methods doesn't work in SM-N910F. Does anyone know what is going on? I believe new software update is problem(not 5.0.1).

They work fine. Have done for me at least.

i tried to root my stock n910f with kitkat.
apparently the cf-autoroot was for 5.01 lollipop, result.. a soft brick (it could be my usb cable to tough becouse it was broken and sometimes it disconnects the phone)
so after that i got a new cable and flashed the stock lollipop rom from sammobile.
now im running lollipop and i think i am goin to try root it today
if you look at chainfires page, the cf-autoroot file is for 5.01

HI ..
I'll try to help you as much as I can ..
Chainfire's autoroot works on kk & lollipop
Forum: http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-4/orig-development/sm-n910-cf-auto-root-t2897428
WebSite: http://autoroot.chainfire.eu/
For your n910f you could search the forum Samsung Galaxy note 4
Here's the search : http://forum.xda-developers.com/sitesearch.php?q=n910f ..
Or get it from SamMobile. Com .. ..http://samfirmware.com/ just search for it .. you need to setup an account with them ..
I'll try to find you a link for your device's stuck rom on the forum if I can ..

try the above method (i.e. CF AutoRoot method) or flash philz touch recovery and in philz settings select re root
then finally download supersu form play store and click update binaries

The easiest way is probably to just ODIN-flash Chainfire's AutoRoot, which you can download here:
http://download.chainfire.eu/568/CF-Root/CF-Auto-Root/CF-Auto-Root-trlte-trltexx-smn910f.zip
But it's not difficult to root your Note 4 "manually" either. All you really need to do is to ODIN-flash a custom recovery tar and then flash SuperSu from the recovery.
Here you can get TWRP ODIN tar-image:
http://dl.twrp.me/trltexx/
Here you can get a recovery-flashable zip of SuperSu:
http://download.chainfire.eu/696/SuperSU/UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.46.zip
Here's a very comprehensive step-by-step how-to if that makes it easier:

I'd love to help but had a vasectomy a few years back, follow above posts you cant go wrong.
