[Q] n915p cf auto root fails?

I just got my hands on the sprint note edge (such an amazing device!) and i've been trying to root it with cf auto root but every time i flash with Odin, it fails with the progress bar on the phone only about halfway. Any suggestions? I'm on the latest firmware, nk1, which matches the version listed on the cf auto root site.
Thanks in advance
Edit:
HEY, YOU. YEAH YOU. READ THIS BEFORE YOU POST:
We figured out the solution quite a while back, but I know no one wants to read the entire thread, so here's a summary c/p'd from the end:
But to summarize, we've been able to get root by flashing CF auto root, letting it fail, then immediately flashing TWRP. To fix any issues encountered with xposed framework (stock sms not working, lagginess, installations taking forever, etc.), freeze with titanium/delete data for shealth, health services, and private mode, install securestorage module in xposed or use the equivalent option in Wanam, reboot, and unfreeze.

Now if you've tried this and you're still having issues, then post ahead. If you haven't tried this, or need help with specifics, read the thread. There's a post by me halfway through or so with 4 XDA links in it. If you want more info on the problem with xposed, check out those links.

You may check out this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-edge/general/easy-steps-stock-odin-n915tuvu1anjl-sm-t2943993
Its for a Tmobile version, but it looks like they may have had the same issue, but figured it out... I haven't tried it yet, but am REAL close to giving it a shot. It looks to me that flashing TWRP after the fail, may be the key to making it successful? I have the Sprint model too, but am still on NJL build.

Does TWRP fully support the note edge yet? Some of those steps (disabling screen timeout) make it seem otherwise. I'm usually hesitant to go for workarounds rather than actual fixes... :/ tell me if you do try it out though.

I'm not sure about TWRP, but was going to try the Note 4 version. I updated to NK1 now, so may give it a whirl... Nah - You go first, lol. I'll post if I decide to go through with it.:good:

to clarify, is that the SPRINT note 4 cf auto root files you're referring to?
Just checked. Sprint Note 4 cf auto root is for NIE. Is this even safe to try on the Edge?

That's what I was told.. Sprint note 4 auto root...
I would wait up if you feel uneasy about it.. lol
at least until they have a edge auto root. I may try the note 4 sometime next week when the screen protector comes in..

There is an edge auto root. It just happens to be failing at the moment (for sprint anyways). There are workarounds for the T-Mobile auto root (which is also failing) but we're all too chicken here to try it on our new shiney Note Edges . . . Lol

Lmfao!!

OK. I wasn't too chicken... and should have been! HELP!!!!!
I attempted the ODIN flash with the proper CF that states that it is for the Sprint Edge... and now have a soft (I hope) bricked phone. The message I have on the screen right now is:
"Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again."
Like I said.... HELP!!!!!
I'm not familiar with KIES but I guess I'll get that way....
Update: I am able to get into download mode... now now if I could just get my hands on a STOCK ROM to ODIN... ANYONE?

Nope. That's what we all tried and it failed for us too. We're trying to figure out a fix or alternative to this. Anyways, to fix your device, take the .tar.md5 file found inside the CF auto root directory and open it with an archiver like 7zip. Extract the recovery.img to somewhere and run this tool on it. Then open up the odin included in CF auto root and choose the recovery.tar.md5 you created rather than the usual file. Flash in download mode and you're good to go.

If there is one thing I've learned in my many years on XDA... DON'T PANIC! Someone will help you. I didn't panic... You helped me hugely. Figured I'd go home and reactivate my Note 3... but didn't even have to do that. THANKS jooniloh! Many thanks...

Man, this is happening fast... I just got it done successfuly rooting my Sprint Edge. Don't freak, follow the instructions on this thread which works on Tmobile devices. I didn't install the SD card fix file yet, but may if I need it. You are basically starting at the FAIL point of that thread. Although you need the SU file on your phone, which you may be able to get it by putting it on a Microsd and accessing it from recovery that way. Good Luck, and don't panic, lol.
EDIT: See my post here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-edge/general/info-galaxy-note-edge-sm-n915-t2945942 for more details on what worked for me

And what version of TWRP did you use?

I actually downloaded the Chainfire file yesterday for the SM N915P, but was still too chicken to try it. After I saw this thread today, I decided to go for it. All I basically did was follow the instructions in TEKHD 's thread for the SM915T.
-Dowloaded Chainfire's Sprint AutoRoot file, Unzipped it.
-Put phone in download mode, selcted the Chainfire's Sprint AutoRoot tar file and hit Start.
-ODIN flashed "FAIL".
-I then flashed a 2.8.0.0 TWRP file for the Note 4, which ODIN said was successful, but it would not boot into recovery (so don't do that).
-I flashed the 2.8.1.1 Tmobile TWRP file from TEKHD's thread, ODIN said success.
-Booted into recovery, adjusted settings for brightness in TWRP, (TWRP was acting really flaky, but I pressed on) I couldn't find the UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.16.zip file in recovery, (I put the file on my removable SD card) so I rebooted recovery, and this time was able to find the UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.16.zip, and flashed it.
-Wiped cache/ Dalvik Cache. Hit Reboot-> System, TWRP said it didn't appear to have root, do I want to root? Hit yes, go , whatever, it rebooted, let settle for a few minutes, and ROOT was born!
Hope that helps and I didn't miss something, but thats how it went down for me.
To sum it up, Follow TEKHD's Tmobile thread, with the exception of the Tmobile Chainfire file, (use the Sprint one obviously) I also did not flash the SD card fix from that thread.
Let me know if you have questions, but I will have to bug out for a while here until this evening...
Good Luck everyone!

No need to flash the SD card fix. there's apps on the play store that will patch the necessary files for that (and you can delete the app afterwards). Interesting that the TMO twrp worked . . . Someone should try that with the SPRINT twrp 2.8.1.1 found here.
Edit: I tried repeatedly to flash both 2.8.1.1 and 2.8.1.0 versions of the SPRINT NOTE 4 twrp and odin consistently crashed on "File analysis".
Edit: I took the plunge and went with the tmobile method. Nothing went wrong. Everything seems to be working fine. The TMO Note 4 recovery is annoying though (two strips of white on both sides of the screen). I didn't have any issues with how it ran like Next1776 did though.
Edit: I'm experiencing some odd issues. The primary one is that anything I install through xposed or f-droid takes FOREVER to install. Anyone else getting this?

BUt just to confirm, jooniloh.... you do have confirmable root? Guess my clue should be that you are using xposed.... but just wanted to confirm before I went down the rabbit hole....

Awesome. Glad you are able to join the party!
I'm not having any issues right now. I have installed Xposed and Wanam without any issues so far. I did disable Knox and Secure storage with Wanam (under security hacks) as another poster suggested. Maybe also try wiping Cache and dalvik in recovery ? Hopefully we will have a stable custom recovery available soon. I say stable, but I guess this one is "stable" - its just not real pretty...

[Q] All I want for Christmas is S5 with hotspot...

Ok, so my S5 is functioning but not 100% Some background on my rooting/ROMing history first. I had no problems to root and ROM on my old school Epic 4G, had nothing but problems trying on my S3 and now I am about in the same boat with my S5. Biggest reason overall to root/ROM is for hotspot access. My DSL at home is junk and my 4G runs way better.
I am not 100% what android I was on when I first started. (I think this might be where I screwed up) Now I show 4.4.4 with 3.4.102-KT-SGS5-KK4.4-TW-G900-08.10.2014-ktoonsez #1 for the kernel version. Build number KTU84P.G900PVU1ANK4.
I tried to first root the phone following QBking77’s video instructions found here with CF root ttp://download.chainfire.eu/408/CF-Root/CF-Auto-Root/CF-Auto-Root-kltespr-kltespr-smg900p.zip
Then tried towel root, this would never say that my S5 was a recognized device. I bricked the phone quite a few times and somewhere in the mix I followed these instructions ttp://galaxys5root.com/galaxy-s5-root/how-to-root-galaxy-s5/ and I think using a few different versions of Odin got me at least booting all the way again. I tried MOAR first and it would lock on boot every time when showing the first animation. AllianceROM would not work either.
Currently I have Phil’s touch 6 recovery (6.26.2, clockwork mod v6.0.4.7)installed and somehow managed to get [STOCK ROM][4.4.4] NK4 Kitkat ROM DeOdexed installed. It does say that I have root access now when checked with root check basic but every hotspot app that I have downloaded will either crash or power cycle the phone when launched.
What is weird/does not work now:
Boots to: Kernel is not SEANDROID enforcing Set warranty bit : kernel
Camera likes to show weird colors/distort
Alarm does not make any sound now, phone just vibrates
All around glitchy with apps crashing
No predictive text (spell check) while typing
What I want is a good working phone with a hotspot that I don’t have to pay Sprint like another $30 a month or whatever it is. I am a fan of less bloatware as well, but oh well. So suggestions on what to do and where to start???
Thanks in advance for any and all help.

I know the OP was lengthy, but for the life of me I could not get MOAR to boot after flash. Using Phil's and I tried TWRP as well. It would lock on the first animation screen every time. Wiped cache and Delvik cache everytime. no dice... How can I get MOAR to run? That is the one that I originally tried to start with.

Had not seen or heard of anyone running Cynagen on an S5, guess I really didn't look since I was shooting for MOAR. Would this stop the boot error of the SEANDROID not enforcing crap? Just flash in Phil's like normal???
I think you guys might be missing my bigger point that nothing I flashed would boot after the flash except for the stock ROM that I am on now. My biggest issue is that flashing ROMs was not working.
Thanks for the replies gentleman.

I feel like I need to do something through Odin to go back to stock 100% and start all over. Is there a way to do that? That is what I ended up doing with my S3 and then after back to stock I just gave up. With no landline at the house it is a pretty big deal to have a working cell.
Keep em coming guys! Only 5 days till Christmas!!!

In TWRP go to advance check off everything to wipe except internal and external memory. Make sure your md5 matches on your downloads. And then reflash the Rom you want.
You are either getting corrupted downloads or are not wiping your device correctly.
There may be one other thing try this also as a final attempt: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=55367233

MOAR has a dedicated Help section located HERE.
If you would post on the MOAR help thread with a screenshot of your Settings > About Device, I'll help you get MOAR going for you.

You cant run a 4.4.2 rom on top of the NK4 bootloader, you have to also flash the NK4 kernel.
You have a couple of choices:
- follow Ramer's lead and check out the FAQ.
- if you want to stay on the NK4 bootloader, flash the NK4 kernel from HERE before rebooting the rom after flashing (uncheck reboot)
- flash the mini-bootloader to bring the phone back to NE5 bootloader first HERE
Its probably easier just to obtain and flash the NK4 kernel after the rom but its up to you. Don't forget to do a full wipe before flashing any rom.

Yes, thanks.
I forget sometimes and share my logged in link rather than the public one.
The link should be fixed now too, but yours is correct for direct to kernel NK4 too.

Posted in the other section and Raymer got me back on pace. All working with a hotspot! Many thanks!

Any luck yet

So as title says any luck with rooting the lollipop update yet? I updated without thinking and now I am stuck without root

from my understanding, you can still root with the Chainfire, battery pull method as long as you do the OTA or stock Loly update first.

Root and Lollipop are working fine on many devices. Also your question is pretty much meaningless without a model number. Each carrier's phone is different.

Yeah sorry I figured since I posted in this forum it was self explanatory don't mean to sound rude but yeah sprint note edge haven't had any luck rooting after lollipop update did official update as well thanks

This is the general Note Edge Q&A. Issues for every carrier go here. Sprint should root fine with CF-Auto-Root and TWRP, just as in KitKat.

Once again sorry but I must be doing something wrong after all cant seem to get it right here aee my steps boot to dl mode open odin 3.07 click pda open autoroot it fails pull out battery wait one min then go back to dl mode open another odin try flashing twrp still fails any suggestions thanks in advance

What version of TWRP are you flashing? I have not needed to wait one minute or perform any other fancy steps. I just flash TWRP immediately after CF-auto-root.

He has specified already that it is a Sprint Note Edge (SM-N915P)

2.8.01 i think ill have to check when i get home later on.

No root here, on ATT model.
Probably we're not gonna get any further since the popularity of this certain device is quite low.
It feels like only a handful of us have this device LOL!

Lol yeah sometimes i feel that way as well.

It feels like only a handful of us have this device LOL!

AT&T models have a locked bootloader. That's an entirely different issue.

930A ATT S7 Snapdragon Xposed framework

Hey guys, so I just found out about this site and am a super noob but managed to Root my ATT S7 last night. I have been trying to install the Xposed framework but it looks like I cant get a custom recovery program onto my S7. Does anyone know how to get TWRP or CWM or any custom recovery onto the 930A? Or for that matter, Xposed install without a custom recovery?

Actually I found out how to do everything and make it pretty smooth. Rooted, with Xposed and a bunch of fixes to make it almost as smooth as stock. Let me know if you are still looking.

Sure, I'll start from the beginning in case any other new people are wondering.
Basically, back up your files and restore your phone to factory so the root goes smoother.
Then proceed to this thread for the root. Oh yeah, install adb if you don't have it. They dont mention it and assume you know what it is, which noobs like me don't.
After a clean root, install Flashfire (you may need to disable samsung updates and reset the phones clock back to 2012 or something if Flashfire doesn't want to start). I used 0.31, maybe the newest will work? Easy to find in google.
On page 8 of the Root thread, there is a dropbox link to the Xposed apk and zip (Here). Move them to your phone and install the apk, then use Flashfire to boot the zip.
I think that's pretty much it, Xposed should be running after the Flashfire reboot (which can take a long time as it will Optimize apps).
psouza4 has an awesome thread on what to do after Root and Xposed to make the phone run smoother.
If you do something wrong and absolutely can't fix it, see here for re-flashing back to stock.
Hope this helps someone, took me about 2 days to search all of this out. The AT&T S7 is such a pain in the ass with it's locked bootloader, but this place is > AT&T!

Flash the Xposed uninstaller from recovery or factory reset, or flash a stock ROM over the top

I'm on a galaxy s7 snapdragon (ATT) and I use flash fire to flash the uninstaller. Which uninstaller should I use? The default one, one for samsung devices, or one for galaxy s7

These UFirm Carrier Roms are so big I chose to use the flash system.img.ext4 first method in Flashfire followed by a partial rom zip so I could get all the multicarrier stuff to fit. This way also insures that all symlinks and permissions are correct.

This rom runs great!! To be expected being from jrkruse. Played with it this weekend and used it all day today at work. Super fast and smooth. Battery lasts much better than i figured it would. Brought my charger to work to be safe, and actually used less battery than stock setup. Thanks jrkruse for this and whatever you end up doing here.

Yeah, that s7 edge stuff was fun i'd have to say. Quite the trip start to finish. I figure S8+ cant be too far off from this phone. Hope you pop in with some cool stuff for this phone. I'm open to play with any of it.

Stupid question, for Tmo you used the AP file provided in the OP?

All the carriers firmware are the same as far as ap bl and cp files and home csc files. Only difference is userdata images

Yes, those exact steps.
One thing that was confusing was how to get "Wipe" to top, but once all files are selected you can re-arrange the ROM, Firmware, Wipe pretty easily.

@jrkruse Hey man what do you need?

Much appreciated kind Sir. jrkruse, glad to see you here.
