Simply put is there a way to get an app onto my phone without the market or file manager?
I ask because I want to use Haykuro's G build but I cant download any apps. I do however have all the ones I use regularly backed up onto my SD card but I cant access them without a File Manager (which I cant download to use). Is there a way?

There's always the option of using AppsInstaller/APKInstaller and putting APK's onto your SD Card. Though, to install AppsInstaller, you have to install it through ADB.

How do I install thru ADB?
|Spike|
Get the android usb drivers, adb.exe and adbwinapi.dll from an Android SDK. Plug the Dream in via USB and point to the location of the drivers when it is installed. Then open your command line, navigate to whatever folder adb.exe is in and type adb install <full path to the apk>. If you run Linux hopefully you can figure it out on your own based on the steps above.
Alternately, upload all the apks you want to the internet somewhere. Check the box to enable installation from Non-market sources in the system settings, then type the full URL of the apk into the browser. The package installer will take over from there.
Here's how you do it. Assuming your G1 is rooted
1. Download the attched files, and copy them into your \system32 folder (Start > Run > %systemroot%\system32)
2. Sure your G1 is enabled for USB Debugging (Settings > Applications > Development > USB debugging) and that your G1 has the appropriate drivers installed. If not, download the USB drivers from HERE
3. Plug your G1 into your computer (Make sure you have USB 2.0 - Click here to find out how to check). When your G1 says "USB Connected" DO NOT click "Mount"..don't do anything
4a. Vista users - Follow these steps. For XP Users, skip to step 5
4b. On your computer, browse to the directory where the APK for your file is located
4c. Once located, hold SHIFT and right click on a blank area of the folder
4d. Click on "Open Command Window Here"
4e. Type "adb install nameofyourapkhere.apk" - without the quotes.
4f. It might say something like "daemon service not started" or something, but it will start it and continue. It'll then say something like 626k/1293k bla bla bla
4g. If it was successful, it will just say "Success". You can close the command window and SHAZAM! Your program will now be installed on your G1, and you can access it like any other program on your phone
5. XP Users - Follow these directions:
a) You can either go Start > Run > type CMD and press enter
OR
Windows Key + R > type CMD and press enter
Navigate to your APK file via the command prompt. For easy usage, put your APK file on your desktop. That way all you have to do is type "CD Desktop" into the command prompt
b)Type "adb install nameofyourapkhere.apk"
c)You may get a couple of messages like in the steps for Vista users
d)If all goes well, you too will get the success message
e)Enjoy your application!
Any confusions, let me know. Hope it helps, and Good Luck!
I've been using a local web server and the android browser.

Thats a possibility, but oddly enough, that requires a http-server
AGx-07_162:
With unicornasaurus's method above, you can install all the apk's you want... you can install apkinstaller and use that through that method, but you can just aswell install your apk's directly through it
I ran into the same problem. Here is the easiest ways to get the appinstaller on your G1. Download this file from your g1 browser or Gmail yourself this file, and download.

This post is to help you set your phones default install path to your phones sd card on any android device.
so here we go..............>>
1. First you have to enable USB debugging on your Android device from Settings > Applications > Development > USB debugging.
Now you need to download and install the Android SDK on your computer from google....please google it.
Once setup is downloaded and installed you click on Available Packages to the left.
should you get any error message at this point, enable “Force (url) in the Settings then from the list of available packages, select “Usb Driver package”, click on the Install Selected button in the bottom right corner and follow the prompts.
2. Connect your phone to your computer with a USB-cable. Your OS will prompt you to install new drivers.
Choose to install them from
C:\Program Files\Android\android-sdk\extras\google\usb_driver folder
when you are asked to install drivers
(If for some reason you are not asked to install drivers as it happens sometimes in windows 7. Go to device manager and look for your phone under the usb device list..............right click and choose update drivers....navigate to C:\Program Files\Android\android-sdk\extras\google\usb_driver folder" to update) If you do not know how to update then google it.
NOTE: You need not mount your device; you only need to plug-in the cable.
3. Next, run a command prompt and navigate to the Android-SDK/platform-tools folder. In Windows, this is done by selecting Run from the Start Menu (or by pressing Win+R) and typing cmd. You change drives in the command prompt by entering the drive letter followed by a colon ), and change folders with the CD command. For example, to enter the Android-SDK folder, simply type C: cd android-sdk.
4. Whiles in the Android-SDK/platform-tools folder, type in
adb devices
you should get a serial number starting with “H” in return. All you have to do next is enter
adb shell pm setInstallLocation 2
You’re done! Android will now install apps to the SD card by default.
To switch back to storing software on the internal memory,
enter
adb shell pm setInstallLocation 0
With everything done correctly you should not have that "annoying memory getting full" message anymore.
If you have a terminal application installed on your phone you can use also that for entering the commands and you should notice, too, that it works only with 2.x roms.

Getting Error
I am getting error "/data/anr/traces.txt: Permission denied" when I give Command "adb shell pm setInstallLocation 2"
Please Help.....
On some updated SDK version its "set-install-location"
Hi,
I've done this and it worked. however I changed my sd card from 2Gb to 4Gb and now it will not work anymore.
I've redone the steps above and, got confirmation that [external] memory is being used, however when I want to install a new app I get the same error message "not enough space"

PLEASE SUGGEST IMPROVEMENTS TO INCREASE READABILITY AND CLARITY TO THIS TUTORIAL
Hi guys how are we all doing? This is my first guide so don't bite. I was seriously impressed with the level of support for Linux, I was able to completely sort my phone out in a few hours using Linux. Just a few things before we start this tutorial:
1.) This is a guide for rooting your phone, flashing a recovery and flashing EXISTENZ ROM. All in Linux. It does not include unlocking your bootloader although I'm sure you could achieve this very easily
2.) This is involve using the terminal to install FlashTool, DoomLords Root, and flashing recovery.
3.) If you can use Terminal and are familiar with file structures you're in a very good place.
4.) I use Linux Mint with the Cinnamon desktop. It is a Ubuntu variant. You should be able to do 99% with the commands I give you... otherwise you might have to tweak it very slightly.
STEP ONE: INSTALL FLASHTOOL
To install FlashTool we will do the following:
We will download FlashTool
We will move the files to a more sensible directory (where all the other programs are)
We will create a menu shortcut that requests root access.
We will install libusb via synaptic package manager which FlashTool requires.
Step 1.) Ok, so, download FlashTool from here: http://www.flashtool.net/download.php
Step 2.) Choose the Linux download and just place it on your desktop for simplicity. Have a clean Desktop for simplicity (i.e.) Have only the folders you need for this tutorial.
Step 3.) Unzip the folder and you should get another folder called "FlashTool" on your desktop. Delete the zip file
Step 4.) It might be worthwhile just checking if FlashTool works. So fire up the good old Terminal and type in:
Step 4.1)
Code:
cd Desktop/FlashTool
This puts us in the FlashTool folder in Terminal. Here's a hint, you don't need to fill out every letter in the commands. If you type in "cd Des" and then hit [TAB] then terminal will fill out the rest of the name for you ("Desktop"). Similarly if you type in "cd Desktop/Flas" and then hit [TAB] then terminal will fill out the rest of the name for you ("FlashTool").
Step 4.2) You can check the contents of a directory if you type in
Code:
ls -l
.
This will list every file and folder in the directory you are currently in. So it should produce a list that includes FlashTool, FlashToolConsole, firmwares etc etc. If it doesn't you are in the wrong directory. In addition to listing the files and folders it should give extra information. Look for the line that has "FlashTool" on it. On the left hand side of that line it should have something similar to -rw-r--r--. These are the permissions. We need to change this so do this:
Step 4.3) Type into the terminal
Code:
chmod ugo+x FlashTool
This will change the permissions of the file. "chmod" means "change mode", "u" means user, "g" means "group" and "o" means other. "+x" means add executable file permissions to this file.
Step 4.4) Type in
Code:
ls -l
once again. You should see that now the permissions for the file "FlashTool" has changed. Now we need to run flash tool:
Step 4.5) Type this into terminal:
Code:
su
**ENTER YOUR OWN PASSWORD**
./FlashTool
You should see the FlashTool GUI up and running.
At this point it would be a good idea to put the things you need to Flash via FlashTool in the "firmwares" folder.
So download these:
C6603_10.3.1.A.2.67_Generic UK.ftf from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-z/general/stock-rom-xperia-z-c6603-10-3-1-2-67-t2512422
XperiaZ_C660X_KernelOnly_10.3.A.0.423_Generic_NL.ftf from here: https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B5TbYyrM0V0POTE3bk9RS29pV1E/edit
XperiaZ_C660X_KernelOnly_10.3.1.A.2.67.ftf from here: http://d-h.st/LVH
C6603_10.4.1.B.0.101_Stripped.ftf from here: http://nut.xperia-files.com/
Put them in the "firmwares" folder within "FlashTool"
Make sure they all end in .ftf, if they do not you probably need to unzip them
Ok so we should have everything we need for FlashTool. Now we need to move it into a more sensible folder.
Step 5.) Close the terminal down by typing in "exit" twice. Open up a new terminal. Move to the directory Desktop by typing into the terminal:
Code:
cd Desktop/
Now we need to move the folder to a part of the file system that needs root permissions:
Code:
su
**YOUR PASSWORD**
mv FlashTool /usr/lib/
This will mv (MOVE) the FlashTool folder into the /usr/lib/ directory.
If you want to check if it moved just open up your explorer and navigate to /usr/lib/ and you can see that the FlashTool folder will be there.
Now we should create a start menu icon.
Step 6.) I have the Cinnamon desktop. These steps should be ROUGHLY similar. Be creative. Try different things.
For Cinnamon to create a start menu icon I need to "RIGHT-CLICK" on the Start Menu, then go to "CONFIGURE" and then "OPEN THE MENU EDITOR" and then click "PROGRAMMING" in the LEFT COLUMN. After this click "NEW ITEM"
In "Name:" type in "FlashTool" (It doesn't actually matter what you put it)
In "Command:" type in "/usr/bin/gksudo /usr/lib/FlashTool/FlashTool"
Make sure it works. Close the menu editor and launch FlashTool from the menu to see if the GUI boots up.
I'm guessing many people don't have Linux Mint, you'll need to adapt your approach if you want a start menu entry (if you're using a different desktop environment).
Step 7.) Open up Synaptic Package Manager from your Start Menu and type into "Quick Filter": "libusb-1.0" and ensure there's a green box beside "libusb-1.0-0:i386" and "libusb-1.0-0". If they aren't just click the little box next to them, click on "Mark for installation" and hit "Apply" and away you go!
You now have FlashTool installed. Congratulations.
Now we need to flash "C6603_10.3.1.A.2.67_Generic UK" ROM so we can then root it and install a recovery.
Step 8.) Fire up FlashTool. Enter your password. If it doesn't ask for password, the program will boot but flashing will fail
Press the lightning icon. Choose Fashmode. Choose 10.3.1.A.2.67 Generic UK. It will ask you to put the device into flashmode (Turn your device off, hold down volume DOWN and insert USB) and then it'll flash that ROM and do it's thing.
At the end of all that you should have C6603_10.3.1.A.2.67_Generic UK ROM on your phone.
The next step is to ROOT this. For the rooting process your phone needs to be ON. Enable developer options (Settings->about phone-> hit "Build Number" until it says "You are now a developer" press back and then go to Developer Options and check "USB debugging". Go back one more time and go into "Security" and check "Unknown Sources" **Have these are your "default settings" i.e. make sure you have these on all the time**
Download DoomLords root method from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-z/development/root-how-to-rooting-firmware-10-3-1-0-t2386405
We need to flash a different kernel temporarily. So open FlashTool again and flash XperiaZ_C660X_KernelOnly_10.3.A.0.423_Generic_NL the exact same way you flashed the Generic UK ROM. Enable Unknown sources and USB debugging if you need to.
Just place the file on your desktop and unzip it. Delete the zip file. Keep the unzipped folder. You should get a folder with:
files
runme_linux.sh
runme_mac.sh
runme_win.bat
etc, etc.
Just remove the mac and windows files. We don't need them. Keep the "files" folder.
Remember you can use [TAB] complete. If you type "DooM" and then [tab] it should fill out the rest of the folder name for you.
Open up a new Terminal and put in these commands:
Code:
cd Desktop/DooMLoRD_Easy-Rooting-Toolkit_v18_perf-event-exploit
chmod ugo+x runme_linux.sh
./runme_linux.sh
and it'll do it's thing and root your phone!
Check this by seeing if "SU" app exists on your phone.
Turn your phone off. Flash "XperiaZ_C660X_KernelOnly_10.3.1.A.2.67.ftf" via FlashTool.
Now we have a rooted firmware!
Step 9.) Install recovery
Download NUT's dual recovery from here: http://www.fun-industries.nl/xda/do...kZHVhbHJlY292ZXJ5Mi41LjEtUkVMRUFTRS53aW5kb3dz
Put it on your Desktop and unzip it. You should get a folder called "lockeddualrecovery"
Open a new terminal and cd to the directory:
Code:
cd Desktop/lockeddualrecovery/
chmod ugo+x supersu.sh
./supersu.sh
It will do it's thing and install the recovery into your phone. Once it's done make sure it exists by turning it off and repeatedly tapping VOLUME UP. It should boot into CWM.
FINAL STEP: INSTALLING EXISTENZ
DO NOT UNZIP THESE FILES
Download the black version here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-z/development/rom-existenz-v5-black-edition-10-4-b-0-t2251512
Download the white version here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-z/development/rom-existenz-v5-0-0-ultra-edition-10-4-t2349656
Make sure you download SuperSU fix also.
Make sure all the terminal windows are gone. All you need to do is connect your phone to your computer and copy the above files to the phone. After they have copied:
Boot into CWM (Turn the phone off, turn it back on and press VOLUME UP repeatedly)
Go to Install ZIP (or something to that effect)
Select the ROM ZIP file and flash it.
After it's finished flash SuperSU fix.zip
Almost done. The ROM won't boot until you've 10.4.1.B.0.101 kernel. So make sure the phone is off. Open FlashTool and flash C6603_10.4.1.B.0.101_Stripped.ftf the same way as before.
Once it's finished turn your phone on and YOU HAVE EXISTENZ ROM!!!
One small addendum. For me my SuperSU was broken. If this is the case for you all you need to do is boot into recovery and select SuperSU fix, CWM will do it's thing and once it's done just turn your phone on and download SuperSU from the market place.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Considerations:
1.) It's not necessary to flash "C6603_10.3.1.A.2.67_Generic UK.ftf" the aim here is to root the phone. You can use an older firmware version and root that using this method: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2327472
This avoids the need to flash a different kernel and then re-flashing the "C6603_10.3.1.A.2.67_Generic UK.ftf" kernel potentially saving YOU a lot of time.
2.) When using chmod it should be enough for you to type in "chmod u+x <filename>" the reason why I have changed the permissions of "group" and "other" is just to ensure that it works.
3.) There is a way to copy folder into the restricted /usr/lib folder. In terminal if you type in "gksudo nautilus" it will bring up a file manager GUI with root permissions that will allow you do drag and drop these folders.
4.) It's not necessary to move FlashTool into this folder. The reason why I have done it was to keep an organised filesystem. You can leave it on desktop and change the file paths appropriately.
5.) After you have rooted your phone. It may not be necessary to reflash the "XperiaZ_C660X_KernelOnly_10.3.1.A.2.67.ftf" kernel since you are going to flash an entire ROM anyway.

PC with Windows
Micro USB Cable
MicroSD Card
MicroSD Card Reader/USB Adapter (To Format MicroSD Card)
Step 0: Install Note 4 USB Drivers
If you haven’t done this before at some point it’s as simple as opening the Samsung Mobile Phone Drivers included with this guide.
Step 1: Backup All The Things!
Backup anything that is important to you. You should regularly be doing this anyway.
If you use Two Factor Authentication such as Google Authenticator or Lastpass’ Authenticator I highly suggest you disable this before proceeding as we will be factory resetting your device potentially locking you out of some accounts or making them significantly more difficult to recover access too.
Step 1.5: Disable Encryption
Disable both device and sd card encryption.
Step 2: Factory Reset
Factory Reset your phone and format the sd card.
Step 3: Preparing The Device
Follow the directions below to navigate your device’s settings’ menus to change the required settings.
Settings > Security > Reactivation Lock | Disabled! This is very important!
Settings > Security > Unknown sources | Enabled
Settings > Developer Options > USB debugging | Enabled
Settings > Developer Options > Verify app via USB | Enabled
Move the file NewKingrootV4.85_C139_B255_en_release_2016_03_29_105203.apk included with this guide to your phone’s download folder. When plugged in with a usb cable to your computer it’s usually located at “SAMSUNG-SM-N910V\Phone\Download”.
Step 4: Preparing Your PC
Run minimal_adb_fastboot_v1.3.1_setup.exe included with this guide.
Pay attention to what directory this installs to. It’s usually C:\Program Files (x86)\Minimal ADB and Fastboot.
Step 4.1: Copying Files
samsung_unlock_n4-fix & BETA-SuperSU-v2.71-20160331103524.zip included with this guide need to be copied (the actual files, don’t create shortcuts) to the install folder for ADB (Usually C:\Program Files (x86)\Minimal ADB and Fastboot.). These files must be in the same folder as adb.exe
Step 5: ADB & The Unlocker
Your phone should have been connected already with a usb cable to your computer. We need to verify your phone is found by adb. Open adb.exe located in the folder from Step 4. Once the window (cmd.exe) opens a command line interface saying
Code:
Microsoft Windows [Version 10.0.10586]
(c) 2015 Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved.
C:\Program Files (x86)\Minimal ADB and Fastboot>
Type in the following command: adb devices
Which should return the following
Code:
List of devices attached
123a12ab device
The 123a12ab is made up. Yours will be specific to your device. If you see something listed like the above adb is working. Now on to the next command to move the unlocker to the phone.
Step 5.1: Send Unlocker to Phone with adb
Type the following command: adb push samsung_unlock_n4-fix /data/local/tmp/
If you get an error it’s because you a) typo b) file isn’t in the folder with adb.exe c) your phone is locked/screen is off d) usb debugging isn’t turned on in settings > developer options.
Step 6: Kingroot For Temp Root
Keep the adb window accessible you will need to be able to switch to it and enter in the commands below quickly as temp root is unstable. Be ready to copy or type them quickly.
On your phone open the app My Files. Click on Device storage > Download > NewKingrootV4.85_C139_B255_en_release_2016_03_29_105203.apk to install Kingroot. After it installs click close, not open. Close all running apps.
Step 6.5: Work Quick With Precision
Open Root Checker so it’s ready to go. Don’t Check yet. Hit the home button and then open Kingroot. In Kingroot scroll down and click the button to start temp root. If you don’t see root successful after a minute or two or four you may need to restart your phone and repeat the process of opening root checker and then Kingroot.
Once you do see successful root click the multi tasking button on the phone to switch over to root checker. Temp root is buggy and may crash. If it does repeat this process again with getting temp root and opening the apps in the correct order.
If you make it into root checker via the multi tasking button it will ask you to grant it root access, click yes, check for root. If it says you have root go to the adb window and type these comamnds in quickly before temp root causes your phone to crash.
adb shell
su
cd /data/local/tmp/
chmod 777 samsung_unlock_n4-fix
chown root.root samsung_unlock_n4-fix
./samsung_unlock_n4-fix
The device will reboot. After reboot, shut the phone down by removing only the battery and usb cable.
Step 7: One More Time
Put the battery and cable back in and turn the phone back on. Now repeat Step 5 & 6.5 but skip Step 5.1 and Step 6. After you send the last adb command and it reboots again pull the battery, sd card, and usb cable. Keep the sd card out! Until you plug it into your computer and format it. It doesn’t matter when you format it if it’s not reporting the correct size. This will be fixed by putting it back into your phone AFTER you format it on your pc and formatting it on the phone.
Step 8: Temp Root A Third Time
If it isn’t already installed go ahead and install Super-Sume Pro.
Close all apps.
Open Super-Sume Pro, click the home button, and open Kingroot.
In Kingroot apply temp root. Click the multi tasking button and switch over to Super-Sume Pro. When it asks for Root grant it. Click the big blue button and follow the instructions. It may take a minute or two. Shut the phone down after it’s done.
Step 9: Odin
Turn the phone on and enter download mode by pressing and holding volume down + power + home. When it’s comes to the screen and says “Downloading” you’re ready to proceed. Open the file included with this guide Odin3 v3.09.exe. In Odin3 where it says Files [Download] click AP and navigate to the folder with this guide and select/open the file twrp-3.0.2-0-trltevzw.tar.md5 and then click Start. Once it finishes it will enter a black screen to reboot. Press and hold these buttons immediately to enter TWRP , volume up + power + home.
Step 10: TWRP & ADB Sideloading
Swipe to allow changes in TWRP. Click Advanced and then ADB Sideload. Swipe to start adb. On your computer open adb.exe from Step 4. On the command line interface in adb.exe
Type the following command: adb devices
Verify your device is there and says sideload.
Type the following command: adb sideload BETA-SuperSU-v2.71-20160331103524.zip
The phone will install Super SU, after it is finished we will install the new Kernel before rebooting.
You may need to re-enter ADB Sideload on the phone.
Type the following command: adb devices
Verify your device is there and says sideload.
Type the following command: adb sideload Emotion-TW-5.1.1-nightly-r21-RC1-SM-N910P.zip
Reboot the phone.
If boots into 5.1.1 open root checker and verify you have root.

Thank you for posting this so clearly! Would Samsung "smart switch" be a viable tool to use for backing up all my apps/app data, home screen setup, etc. before rooting, and still work to import the data after rooting?

That kernel flash is optional from what I've seen. That's just what people have been wanting on their phones

Samsung Galaxy Note 4 on Verizon updated to 5.1.1 (BPA1)
PC with Windows
Micro USB Cable
MicroSD Card
MicroSD Card Reader/USB Adapter (To Format MicroSD Card)
Step 0: Install Note 4 USB Drivers
If you haven’t done this before at some point it’s as simple as opening the Samsung Mobile Phone Drivers included with this guide.
Step 1: Backup All The Things!
Backup anything that is important to you. You should regularly be doing this anyway.
If you use Two Factor Authentication such as Google Authenticator or Lastpass’ Authenticator I highly suggest you disable this before proceeding as we will be factory resetting your device potentially locking you out of some accounts or making them significantly more difficult to recover access too.
Step 1.5: Disable Encryption
Disable both device and sd card encryption.
Step 2: Factory Reset
Factory Reset your phone and format the sd card.
Step 3: Preparing The Device
Follow the directions below to navigate your device’s settings’ menus to change the required settings.
Settings > Security > Reactivation Lock | Disabled! This is very important!
Settings > Security > Unknown sources | Enabled
Settings > Developer Options > USB debugging | Enabled
Settings > Developer Options > Verify app via USB | Enabled
Move the file NewKingrootV4.85_C139_B255_en_release_2016_03_29_105203.apk included with this guide to your phone’s download folder. When plugged in with a usb cable to your computer it’s usually located at “SAMSUNG-SM-N910V\Phone\Download”.
Step 4: Preparing Your PC
Run minimal_adb_fastboot_v1.3.1_setup.exe included with this guide.
Pay attention to what directory this installs to. It’s usually C:\Program Files (x86)\Minimal ADB and Fastboot.
Step 4.1: Copying Files
samsung_unlock_n4-fix & BETA-SuperSU-v2.71-20160331103524.zip included with this guide need to be copied (the actual files, don’t create shortcuts) to the install folder for ADB (Usually C:\Program Files (x86)\Minimal ADB and Fastboot.). These files must be in the same folder as adb.exe
Step 5: ADB & The Unlocker
Your phone should have been connected already with a usb cable to your computer. We need to verify your phone is found by adb. Open adb.exe located in the folder from Step 4. Once the window (cmd.exe) opens a command line interface saying
Code:
Microsoft Windows [Version 10.0.10586]
(c) 2015 Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved.
C:\Program Files (x86)\Minimal ADB and Fastboot>
Type in the following command: adb devices
Which should return the following
Code:
List of devices attached
123a12ab device
The 123a12ab is made up. Yours will be specific to your device. If you see something listed like the above adb is working. Now on to the next command to move the unlocker to the phone.
Step 5.1: Send Unlocker to Phone with adb
Type the following command: adb push samsung_unlock_n4-fix /data/local/tmp/
If you get an error it’s because you a) typo b) file isn’t in the folder with adb.exe c) your phone is locked/screen is off d) usb debugging isn’t turned on in settings > developer options.
Step 6: Kingroot For Temp Root
Keep the adb window accessible you will need to be able to switch to it and enter in the commands below quickly as temp root is unstable. Be ready to copy or type them quickly.
On your phone open the app My Files. Click on Device storage > Download > NewKingrootV4.85_C139_B255_en_release_2016_03_29_105203.apk to install Kingroot. After it installs click close, not open. Close all running apps.
Step 6.5: Work Quick With Precision
Open Root Checker so it’s ready to go. Don’t Check yet. Hit the home button and then open Kingroot. In Kingroot scroll down and click the button to start temp root. If you don’t see root successful after a minute or two or four you may need to restart your phone and repeat the process of opening root checker and then Kingroot.
Once you do see successful root click the multi tasking button on the phone to switch over to root checker. Temp root is buggy and may crash. If it does repeat this process again with getting temp root and opening the apps in the correct order.
If you make it into root checker via the multi tasking button it will ask you to grant it root access, click yes, check for root. If it says you have root go to the adb window and type these comamnds in quickly before temp root causes your phone to crash.
adb shell
su
cd /data/local/tmp/
chmod 777 samsung_unlock_n4-fix
chown root.root samsung_unlock_n4-fix
./samsung_unlock_n4-fix
The device will reboot. After reboot, shut the phone down by removing only the battery and usb cable.
Step 7: One More Time
Put the battery and cable back in and turn the phone back on. Now repeat Step 5 & 6.5 but skip Step 5.1 and Step 6. After you send the last adb command and it reboots again pull the battery, sd card, and usb cable. Keep the sd card out! Until you plug it into your computer and format it. It doesn’t matter when you format it if it’s not reporting the correct size. This will be fixed by putting it back into your phone AFTER you format it on your pc and formatting it on the phone.
Step 8: Temp Root A Third Time
If it isn’t already installed go ahead and install Super-Sume Pro.
Close all apps.
Open Super-Sume Pro, click the home button, and open Kingroot.
In Kingroot apply temp root. Click the multi tasking button and switch over to Super-Sume Pro. When it asks for Root grant it. Click the big blue button and follow the instructions. It may take a minute or two. Shut the phone down after it’s done.
Step 9: Odin
Turn the phone on and enter download mode by pressing and holding volume down + power + home. When it’s comes to the screen and says “Downloading” you’re ready to proceed. Open the file included with this guide Odin3 v3.09.exe. In Odin3 where it says Files [Download] click AP and navigate to the folder with this guide and select/open the file twrp-3.0.2-0-trltevzw.tar.md5 and then click Start. Once it finishes it will enter a black screen to reboot. Press and hold these buttons immediately to enter TWRP , volume up + power + home.
Step 10: TWRP & ADB Sideloading
Swipe to allow changes in TWRP. Click Advanced and then ADB Sideload. Swipe to start adb. On your computer open adb.exe from Step 4. On the command line interface in adb.exe
Type the following command: adb devices
Verify your device is there and says sideload.
Type the following command: adb sideload BETA-SuperSU-v2.71-20160331103524.zip
The phone will install Super SU, after it is finished we will install the new Kernel before rebooting.
You may need to re-enter ADB Sideload on the phone.
Type the following command: adb devices
Verify your device is there and says sideload.
Type the following command: adb sideload Emotion-TW-5.1.1-nightly-r21-RC1-SM-N910P.zip
Reboot the phone.
If boots into 5.1.1 open root checker and verify you have root.

It's included in Step 10. I think you may have missed it. It's the very last step. It's also included in the Google Drive folder and torrent.
You shouldn't need to do SuperSuMe. You can use Kingroot for the whole shebang. Also, you will need a kernel for 5.1.x roms otherwise it will bootloop at the Verizon logo.

Thank you for posting this so clearly! Would Samsung "smart switch" be a viable tool to use for backing up all my apps/app data, home screen setup, etc. before rooting, and still work to import the data after rooting?

Click to collapse
I have not used it. What I did was find every export settings/backup option in apps like nova launcher. I wrote down one time passwords for eligible accounts or disabled 2 factor Auth temporarily. I copied my SD card to my computer, along with all the files in the folders Downloads, Media, DCIM, etc. I exported my contacts and copied the file to my pc. I didn't care about any saved games so I can't help you there. Some people have success with Helium for back ups. Using the pc backup option.

The kernel is included. See comment below from the guy who said I didn't include it.
I heard kingroot sends data to China. So I don't want it on my phone longer than needed.

isnt kingroot deleted once you do a full wipe before installing a custom rom via twrp?

Correct. Though this is a guide for staying on stock rom with root and the option to change roms at a later point easily.

Hey thanks to all devs for all that is being done to make our n4 more lovable. I have everything set up per op. ADB sees my phone and I am able to get root. I enter all the lines of the code and get positive response on all till I get to chmod 777 samsung_unlock_n4-fix. It is in my minimal adb and fastboot folder. It is also unzipped. It all works up to there. Also have drivers installed. Thanks

Good one mate...
You can also flash MultiSystem-Kernel_LP-5.1.1 by @hsbadr instead of emotion kernel!
Its SE Permissive and wont show, "Seandroid is not selinux enforcing" error during boot and very snappy!

Yes this is a very good write-up of instructions. But I too, think the flashing the kernel is worth mentioning, considering I went through all this and ended up boot looping because I did not have the kernel, ended up doing it all over again, but a lot smarter the second time around.
?If someone helps you, plz thank them?

Step 8: Temp Root A Third Time
If it isn’t already installed go ahead and install Super-Sume Pro.
Close all apps.
Open Super-Sume Pro, click the home button, and open Kingroot.
In Kingroot apply temp root. Click the multi tasking button and switch over to Super-Sume Pro. When it asks for Root grant it. Click the big blue button and follow the instructions. It may take a minute or two. Shut the phone down after it’s done.

My Super-Sume Pro is stuck on the beginning of Step 2. Is this necessary to run or can I skip out on it.
