Once you root, you can't update via phone any more. You'll have to download the firmware and flash with Odin.

Thanks ! If I download a firmware from lets say sammobile, I'm pretty sure I'm gonna loose root, right ?
Is it going to working anyway even if I'm rooted ? I remember the old days when we couldn't flash stock firmwares when rooted (yes, been a long time since I used stock roms).
Does flashing new firmware means mandatory full wipe ?

Flash with mobile Odin and you can root+inject supersu+install mobile Odin in the same time. Did that today on S5 international (F) and mobile Odin 4.20

galaxy note 4 s-lte(SM-N916L)

Does anyone know about this model? No one seems to know..
I have one problem. At the moment there are several ways to root galaxy note4, including philz recovery and cf auto root. However, as far as i know it works for only note4 model sm-n910 line. However in korea, upper model for n-910 is released, known as sm-n916 line. Both model have the same hardware and software specs, the only difference is their network connection specs. (N916 has faster and improved data lte connection) . Now the problem is that i have n916 model, and rooting for this device does not work with the method that can root n910 model. I thought it would work because everything software and hardware specs are the same. I am really frustrated because i cant root ㅜ.ㅜ
It's only been a month or twice since its release. The exact model is SM-N916L(LG U plus phone carrier. Alphabet that comes after 916 represents differet phone carriers. S is for skt, and K is for Kt, L is for Lg uplus). It is a upper model for SM-N910L galaxy note 4. You can see that SM-N910L model is present in autoroot([email protected]@eu) but not the upper model SM-N916L. Any ways i could help the developers to enable rooting for this device? perhaps finding you the stock firmware? Demand for this device than previous note4 n910 will increase. Really hope to root this device.
Could i get any help? (Btw i am living in korea using korean model). Really willing to donate if i could root this model!
hope i can get a reply as soon as possible. Have a good day~

Make a backup before and if something goes wrong you should have the firmware files at hand to revert changes, you will be responsible for anything you do with your device.​

The recoveries were never meant for Marshmallow since those devices were running Android Lollipop.
The Android Marshmallow update for those devices had come out much later on.

[Q] N9100 China Dual Sim ROOT for 5.1.1

I just updated my phone to OK1 firmware running on 5.1.1. This si the China variant and not hong kong. I was wondering if there is a working root for this firmware? I've tried the CF auto root of the 4.4.4 version but it sends me into a bootloop. I've searched everywhere but can't find anything. Any help will be appreciated.

I can't root N9100 android 5.1.1 (N9100ZCU1COK1) by root file CF-Auto-Root-trltechn-trlteduoszc-smn9100.zip for android 4.4.4.

Then is there no way to root for that firmware?

anyone? desperately need Gapps on my phone right now...

Hi. I have installed an aurora rom with version 5.1.1 N9100ZCU1COK1 and I'm rooted. But I just kept the root that I had before updating so I didn't use CF-Auto-Root or anything else this time... have you tried kingroot?

If your n4 is sm-n9100, bought from China, you can directly flash TGY n9100 rom, I got my n4 couple days before(SM-N9100, trlteduoszh), original rom is China version: N9100CHC1COK1-5.1.1, then just download TGY rom, N9100ZZH1BOF2, which is the latest TGY rom, android version: 5.0.1. After odin flash, do doubble wipe, then everythings just fine. like the orignial hongkong N9100, of casuse you get the stock google apps.
I got ota information yesterday, tgy rom got update to N9100ZHU1COL2-5.1.1, I'm not sure to do update, cos I'd heard 5.1.1 won't get root for the new "reactivation lock" issue, anyone have experience of root your tgy 5.1.1?

Chainfire has a new autoroot for N9100 5.1.1. You can download it HERE

Check post #60 in THIS thread.

SM-N9100 runing Adroid 5.1.1 rooted successfully.
I followed the following link and successfully rooted mine without any problems.
(sorry. I'm not allowed to post an outside link. Google "How to root Samsung Galaxy Note 4 SM-N9100 Android Lollipop 5.1.1" and you should be able to find the article on recovery-mode.com)
Good luck!

I recently bought N9100 in china and then I flashed my new phone with the latest stock rom N9100ZHS1CPE1 (Hongkong) android 5.1.1 via odin. Worked perfectly. No issues.

I eventually rooted the phone and it's too easy to be true. I downloaded it's specific twrp, flashed it via Odin without the battery so it won't boot up after flashing, then boot into twrp recovery and flashed SuperSU.

N9100 only supports B7, it does not support B2 and B4. And this is the reason why you get a weak signal (B7 is high frequency with poor coverage).

Using the custom recovery posted above I managed to get root. just boot in download mode and remove the battery after that, flash twrp recovery from above link with odin (you can make a flashable .tar.md5 yourself or just use this one:
https://mega.nz/#!xNslVYLa!zDQdqxVyam7H2Q8xzvZnyQ7DyhPqy2jgs1TE1fLEJjo
. put the battery back in and boot into recovery, copy the supersu.zip (I used the latest one from this link: https://download.chainfire.eu/1012/SuperSU/SR3-SuperSU-v2.78-SR3-20161103171345.zip?retrieve_file=1 , but you can use the latest one). Flash it and reboot normally. Don't let twrp root your phone (it will ask you to root when you select "reboot system" from recovery, just select don't install root, or something like this).
Note that the above rooting method worked for the latest 5.1.1 firmware (from 10 October 2016) for Hong-Kong, PDA N9100ZHU1CPI3, CSC N9100ZZH1CPI3.
You can download the firmware from here: http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/download/102145/N9100ZHU1CPI3_N9100ZZH1CPI3_TGY/
Also, that firmware fixed some rotation issues I had with the previous one.

I have a Chinese A8000 and I am desperate to get marshmallow, but before voiding the warranty do you think I can flash one of the firmware for a800f because Chinese variants will ALWAYS only take the firmware HK variants don't take like Singapore (XSP) firmware

Well it turns out it tells me unsupport dev type. A800F firmware may make the machine think you are flashing an unofficial ROM and tells you that you have to void the warranty by unlocking the CROM. Unfortunately this is a A8 model that is still not renewed on the Wi-Fi Alliance. There is a chance that Samsung does NOT do that update on the Wi-Fi Alliance page but still get marshmallow, for example: my Galaxy S5 G900H. It literally says 5.0 lollipop on that website but I installed marshmallow 4 months ago. Chinese models tend to get the updates very late but I hope at least it still receives updates.

Do NOT flash a800i marshmallow on an a8000. The a800i has a different chipset, it would probably brick your phone. You'll have to wait a while I guess, there doesn't seem to be any hk 6.0.1 roms out.

Just one day ago ther is news about A8 duos getting marshmallow. Which phone is that? As far as i know my A8000 IS duos device. Out of all other A8 models which one's marshmallow is possible to be put on A8000?

My friend is having trouble, i will install sm-a800i rom
my phone: sm-a8000
Are you sure this rom is on the phone ??

Update: Both the Hong Kong version and the Chinese version of A8000 received marshmallow update! The update brings much smoother app experience/animation and better battery life (which was already great since day 1) overall! I have just noticed that today and installed it. Trust me, I will NEVER go back to that old inefficient lollipop on this phone!

Yay! Marshmallow for A8000. Does anyone know if they made an autoroot for this yet or any root method? I see the other A8s have it but not this.

I have Samsung SM-A8000 Chinese Model I have Upgraded it to Android 6.0.1 Marshmello but I want to root it and I cant find any method for rooting, I searched all over the internet there are root method for A800f and A800i but there is not any root method I can find for A800 Chinese model Help me, Thanx

Hello, I'm not sure whether this is the right place for my problem but I will give it a try. I have a problem with TWPR recovery on sm-a8000 Chinese version.
Every time I try to flash any zips it fails.
Error 70 failed to mount preload (invalid argument ) I can't do factory reset either. I'm able to root the phone with auto root and the phone works normally except for the custom recovery. I tried to do factory reset in original recovery and it worked but during the boot in the original recovery it said no command.
My aim is to install Google play apps.
Here are some pictures of the recovery result. My internal memory is only 3Mb in the recovery but if I connect the phone to my computer it shows 16Gb.
Any idea what's going on?

Hi do you have any working custom recovery ?
