doenst work..
Try other software for rooting cause i have try rooting my Samsung Galaxy Note 3 with One Click Root and it works perfectly with no ease. There’s are also software like Kingo Root, Farmaroot, SRSroot and more that can you try also. But i will try this thing on some device and hope it works or may this tool support this phone.
Well, guys, I’ve tried this method multiple times, and it has only rooted once, and then the device would reboot every 3 minutes on the mark.
No other method, Chainfire nor TWRP will root 5.1.1 on my SM-N910C with the just released N910CXXU1COH4_N910COLB1COH3_N910CXXU1COH4_HOME.tar.md5.
Anyone have additional instructions or assistance to get my Note 4 on 5.1.1 to root?
Thanks.
after clicking on the start button when flashing the bootloader, my phone went reboot, after the reboot it said installing file or something. but after awhile , it said no command. may i know what else i can do here?
Install twrp recovery from this

Im happy this worked for me, but now every hour or 30 mins my note 4 just restarts by itself,
does anyone have any advice how to return the phone to the state it was before i started rooting it, i mean downloading stock bootloader etc?
many thanks
hey guys this worked well for me but now my phone sometimes restarts every half an hour or two, how do i download the stock bootloader and just go back to how my phone was before i rooted it ,?
many thanks
Is there a Video showing how to do the above in detail, I’m new at this and don’t want to mess up my phone. I noticed the ” i ” wasn’t in the build number of the sm-n910c above info and thought well it’s possible to miss something else here in this info, so that’s why I’m asking if there is a detailed video. Mine is the N910CXXU1OI4 the one mentioned here is the N910CXXU10″H”4 variant, would that still work with mine?
Thank you
