My apologies in advanced if this question has been broached recently on this platform (or if I'm in posting to the incorrect forum).
I have the Verizon Retail Edition of the Samsung Galaxy Note 4 (SMN910VZKE). Thus far, I'm seeing root is available for Develeper Edition (SMN910VMKE) only. I'm hopeful that an exploit has been discovered that will, happily and at long last, enable rooting of the retail edition.
Shall I hold out hope or, sadly, abandon it?
Thank you all in advance!!

That's a pretty large thread regarding rooting the VZW Note 4 Retail.
TL ; DR version is that root HAS been achieved. However this Samsung and Verizon have incorporated a write protection that makes root temporary. Once the device is rebooted, root disappears.

Ty,BN. Wiping root on reboot renders rooting device fruitless - at least for my purposes. Well, I've learned my lesson. Will be far more careful in future when choosing my next smartphone / tablet purchase.
Ty again for your contribution and for the link. :good:
Cheers!

Greetings! I need help unlocking my Samsung Galaxy S III SCH-S968C Tracphone on Verizon network running android 4.1.2
I did find a couple of postings about unlocking the AT&T version by keying in *#197328640# to the dialer, but got no response or menu.
I also found a couple of threads to root my particular model such as: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2516498
but it seems that rooting in itself will not help me (I am not versed in rooting, but I did review the process using cydia impactor as posted).
Can this phone be unlocked straight-up (please...), or is rooting required and if so, how would I proceed after the initial rooting application to actually unlock the phone?
Thanks in advance!!!

Wow all this knowledge and this crappy Flintstone tracfone has everyone bumfuzzled.. is that why it cost 140 used? Incompatible with just about every app and game. My classic game boy had more features and accessibility than this rip off prison phone. lawsuit overflowing device.
I'm beginning to not trust using tracphones for development - trying a Samsung Galaxy J7 Crown and it's stuck in that Binary Factory while now allowing me to re-enter download mode. Have you found anything that works on yours yet?
Hello awesome people of the rooting community, I've been searching like crazy(with no luck) to find a way to get my beautiful note 3 back to root access ever since i had to buy a new one when my old one fell apart.
i figured i turn to these ever so helpful forums, to be specific its a Sprint Galaxy Note 3 running 4.4.4 NK4. The reason that's underlined is because i have yet to find a way to root the November NK4 update on the forums, YouTube, cellphone stores i know of....etc..
is it even possible? if someone can help me restore my note 3 back to its former glory it would be much appreciated cause I'm out of options and made an account just to post to these forums.
i have had some experince rooting phones(using odin, and cf auto root) but this is a new ballpark for me.:crying:
2 years ago I buy my galaxy s4 unlocked version from amazon.com. When I came back to Turkey I registered the Cellphones imei. After that I rooted my galaxy s4. I watch lots of tutorials and most of it did not work out. At the last try I was able to root my device. After a year my uncle bought me a gear 2 neo which needed a higher version of android. So i plug my galaxy s4 and updated trough kiosk. The result was my galaxy s4 was mys galaxy s4 lost its root acsess was gone and system was updated. Also most of the apps first run and then give a error. For example i downloaded can knockdown 3. First it worked fine then it stopped working. One of my friend suggested I need to downlad a rom and suggested cyanogenmod. I tried one button installer but it said the device is not supperted for this installer. But my phone is listed in the supported devices(GTI9500). Please help me. My cellphone is slowly dying. Also last thing. They say making a change on the phone sometimes deletes the imei registiration.
Thank you for using XDA assist. Any time you update you're firmware you'll lose root. So that's normal. To root it again see this, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2292615&page=50 If you still have problems you can ask here, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2192886 And aslo see this, http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s4

Sorry about cross posting. A mod can delete my other thread. I didn't realize there was a Q & A forum.
I'm just looking to see if there has been any development on rooting and flashing for this model.
From what I have read I cannot.
Just looking for some one to confirm that the bootloader is still blocking everything.
Carrier is Verizon
SM=P905V
Android 5.1.1
Stock tablet, never been hacked.
Thanks in advance. I'm needing to know this due to a dispute I am having with big V.
Anyone?????????
I have been away from the community since about the Note 10+ due to the impossible chance of rooting the Snap variations at the time. I am wondering if this has been remedied? Is true root still possible on Snapdragon chips? Are awesome ROMs still be developed if so? Is TWRP still a useful and usable tool In this day and age? I'm glad to be back to the community today and I'm desperately hoping that good news will follow in this thread.
Thanks for having me back.
Depends what device and what bootloader version the device is on. Its a paid service now

Really? How do you go about paying? And do you need to pay to access the area where the Mod ROMs would be? So for example, I have a US ATT Snapdragon Galaxy S22 Ultra. From what I see there is no Modded ROMs for it but I do think I saw a root method. So would I need to pay to access a area where Mod ROMs would be?
You need to pay $150 (IIRC) to have your bootloader unlocked.

He's discussing the US model, which is bootloader locked. The root method you posted is for the B and E models, not the U.
