SM-N910G root? - Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
I have a Note 4 (SM-N910G) on Android 6.0.1 that I wish to root. Surprisingly, the only root guide I found at https://forum.xda-developers.com/note-4/general/root-note-4-sm-n910c-t2977948 only covers up to Android 5.1.1.
Is it possible to root my device? If so, how?
Thanks.

Managed to root it via instructions at https://androidmtk.com/root-samsung-galaxy-note-4-sm-n910g

I know it is clearly stated there that the included root files only work for firmware build N910GDTU1DPD4. But was your case that you had the equivalent build; a lower build then you simply updated; or (the one I'm hoping for) a higher build number, but it still all works out in the end?

This is a stock odex rom, but what I noticed a few days ago is, that it is not really accepting the rom, the files from the system.img is what's there.
I debloated my rom to find all the files stay from the img.
It has to be because the kernel or system we r using, NO TWRP Recovery either.
Flashfire, when u wipe the system, it is only wiping data. And something is not allowing for the files to stick or write to system.
And if u delete to many files from the system apps or priv-apps it will not work for the recovery to just wipe data or factory reset.
It will go through a loop when u gonna sign in for Google.
I had so many files deleted and recovery was working, and removed 2 more, which I can't remember, and after factory reset it didn't log in to Google cause of that loop.
I need my phone working, and need to a least factory reset if it hangs,
So at the moment I have to leave it with the full system, till I have some time to find safe files to remove so that recovery wipe will work.

Thanks for posting. If I'm correct this does have the updated bootloader "2" so no rooting and no going back to an earlier version of nougat.

That's correct. It does contain bootloader version 2, once you flash you won't be able to go back to older firmwares.

So, I have a dual sim s8 plus international bought in kuwait. I don't have WIFI calling or HD video/voice on the phone software. I want these functions, I do a lot of international travel & wifi calling is what I depend on. Will this T-Mobile firmware work for my dual SIM? Will it be able to update? Also, this won't install t-moblie bloatware will it?

This will only work for the G955U or G955U1 US International model.
Can I flash this if I have already updated to 8.0?

Yes, you will be able to downgrade to this firmware, as long it has the same bootloader version, which it does.
Thank you very much for uploading this.
I tried 4x other firmware until I got this.
Thanks a lot.
