Samsung Galaxy Note Edge (SM-N915F) Root Not Available for 5.0.1? - Note Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I cannot find any root method for this phone SM-N915F anywhere in the forums.
Build number is LRX22C.N915FXXU1BOE1 running on Android 5.0.1 (Lollipop)
I've been soft-bricked a few times for trying a few rooting methods including CF-Auto-Root.
Anyone here knows where can I get root for this model?

I read in another thread that you can flash cwm (what about twrp?) with odin and then boot into recovery and then flash super su to get root. But there is no cf auto root. Please correct me if I'm wrong. Link here
Sendt fra min SM-N915FY

This means CF-Root is working for any device as long as we have the appropriate custom recovery for our device. Thank you for the link, I will try it and post back the results.

Wow it works, thank you for the reply @xenkato

Cool! Did you do it with cwm and super su?

Yes, I did exactly what the person in your link does haha!

So you flashed cf auto root first with that one failing? Or only cwm and then super su?

Err from what I've read I think there are two things regarding the root file provided by Chainfire.
1. CF-Auto-Root (This one is a method provided by him to flash devices directly to root them)
2. CF-Root (This one is where a custom recovery which is suitable for the particular model is needed to flash it)
I've flashed CWM on my phone and then flashed the CF-Root through the custom recovery installed
So I think as long as devices has a working custom recovery like TWRP/CWM then it can be used to flash the CF-Root from Chainfire's website.

[Q] Installing CWM on n8000

I've been searching for methods to install CWM on my note 10.1, I've just found Odin method and manual method, and my doubt is: Can I install CWM directly from Rom Manager? Do I need to ROOT first? All other methods are too hard or too risky to a noob like me!
I want to install Cyanogenmod and I need CWM.
Someone could help me?
Nobody is going to help me? :crying:
No, You need to install CWM first then the device can be rooted. until now the safest way to install first CWM on the device is via Odin. then you can do everything include install new updated CWM via CWM itself. You only need is samsung drivers and Recommended version Odin to your device. At first I'm a little scare to install CWM via Odin but Now It's Fun. You Should Try with Caution of course. LEARN with Caution for the first timer.
God Bless
I'm N8000 user. My ROM was XXCMG2 Deodexed By Darkman installed via CWM 6.0.3.6
Just follow zedomax's guide here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1831152
It looks complicated, but it really isn't. Watch is video and follow him step by step, and you'll be rooted in no time.

Root for Gnabo Rom on 10.1 N8013 without cpu - Is Framaroot Safe?

I have lost the data USB cable for my Note 10.1 8013 and I want to get root so I can install CWM recovery and Gnabo Rom. If there's an easier or safer way please let me know asap if this is it please confirm I have the steps right.
I've been online for hours and it looks like my best option is Framaroot. I have only rooted 2 devices before and always using Odin and Chainfires auto root.
First question is if it is successful will it allows me to install the custom rom that I want? I'm trying to figure out how or where in the process to install cwm recovery and make sure I don't brick the tablet.
if yes that it will work to install gnabo rom then based on the Framaroot thread I understand that I am good to go using Framaroot 1.9.3 Sam, frodo, legolas or aragon exploits?
instructions as I understand them:
I Dl fr 1.9.3 on device
install with file explorer
Install supersu
then try the exploits until I hopefully see success?
then reboot
How do I get custom recovery? This is where I'm totally lost at
then follow instructions told Gnabo Rom? - already have zips on sd
Normally I can reach a few of the guys from the Tmo N4 to help me because I'm such a new but they're all tied up and I basically only have today free to mess with this.

sch-i535 4.4.2 cant flash custom recovery (both TWRP/CWM) why?

Hi Experts,
I have some experience on flashing phones and custom roms but in this case i'm lost.
Can't find a way to install CWM or TWRP, i have tried flashing with Odin and also tried to install via the CWM/TWRP app.
After flashing recovery with CWM/TWRP app the phone becomes bricked and i get a Verizon message "secure fail: kernel system software is not authorized by verizon..."
If i try to flash recovery with Odin in download mode it will result in an error: FAIL! (Auth)
And from the stock recovery i cant flash as well which make sense.
* Phone is 4.2.2
* Root was made with towelroot.apk > manual install of SU and confirmed with root checker (Other root methods did not worked for me).
Please help!

Simple, your bootloader is locked. 4.4.2 can be rooted but that's it. You can run a safestrap recovery & flash TW ROMs only.
?Oct-M d2att KrAkEn Kernel?
I had used safestrap, Cant flash... because it said cant mount system...

Rooting GT-n8013 Android Version 4.1.2

I want to update my Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 (GT-N8013) Android version 4.1.2 (Build JZ054K.N8013UEUCOI1). I saw an article in this forum by Samir_a as a sticky thread dated in Jan 2013 and I would like to follow that thread (once I find it again). Title it was a sticky with the title Guide - Installing Firmware, CWM recovery & Rooting.
First I have some questions: 1) will my data and apps still be there? If not is there an easy way to backup my stuff so I won't lose it.
The following are questions I have from Samir_a article.
("Firmware - you can download either from Samfirmware or http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2016792"). ("Once you download the files you will need to extract, the extracted file should have the following extention .tar.md5 remember the path where you extract the file"). Is this the ROM or what? If it is the ROM, how do I find the right version? I didn't see 8013 listed.
("Odin - you can download again from the above link.") I did find ODIN 3.12.3 as a download: is this the correct version??
("Note drivers - Should be installed with Kies (Make sure you exit kies before proceeding further)" What are these drivers and where do I find Kies.
Sorry to take up a lot of your time but I want to do this right. I have flashed BIOS on PCs before but this is different.
There is no update for N8013 last version is 4.1.2

Root and recovery are only required for custom firmwares not stock .

I do want to get beyond the standard 4.1.2. I'm asking for guidance on that subject. First question is will I lose my apps and data??
But your question is .
Rooting GT-n8013 Android Version 4.1.2
Then you are asking about downloading firmware from sammobile = stock not custom .
Next you say you want custom not stock .
Sorry i don't know what you actually want .
custom roms .
https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-note-10-1/development
If its a custom rom first choose your custom rom then read its instructions .
I'm sorry if my questions have not been clear but I DO want "custom" software which I think comes with "rooting" my tablet. I have my tablet for years and there seems to be nothing on the horizon beyond 4.1.2. Therefore I am willing to root my tablet to get to newer version of android.
Choose your custom rom .

TWRP on rooted J700p

I have a Samsung Galaxy J700p (boost Mobile) on software version J700PVPS1AQD1 that I rooted using CF Auto Root. I want to install TWRP recovery, but I don't know if being already rooted changes anything. All the guides I see show only how to install TWRP and root at the same time through Odin. I want to be extra cautious about this, I don't want to have to re-flash the stock ROM again.
