Questions about rooting Note 4 5.1.1 N910F. UK.



I have decided to root my Note 4 after seeing all these huge permissions lists for just about every app (I understand something like a flashlight app needing your camera or a speed checker needing Wifi but why stuff like contacts, browsing history, bookmarks, IMEI number...) Coming from iPhone it was really shocking considering you have the option to on&off those permissions when opening the app or in settings, but this is just take it all or leave it. Other than XPrivacy and maybe adblock i have no interest in doing anything else with root.

So what I would like to know is if anyone have any advice. I am a complete N00B at android and since this is a new and expensive device I am obviously very cautious. My previous phone was jailbroken but this seems like an entirely different thing.

There was not much info about rooting Note 4 5.1.1 except for these 2 links but I am not sure how reliable they are or how to judge them as they are not a lot of comments, maybe someone more experienced than me can tell. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qpsGX_Xoxcg https://www.reddit.com/r/galaxynote4..._511_xxu1coh4/

I am using mac so it says it need to get Jodin3, but the download link seems to be offline http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2598203 http://goo.im/devs/AdamOutler/JOdin3

It seems that 5.1.1 is kind of new so is it worth waiting a bit and seeing or do the links above seem reliable.

Also I understand this void the warranty with Knox and everything but what about insurance.

Sorry if this question seems really dumb, like i said i am a complete N00B.
Also sorry if I posted this in the the wrong thread, new to this forum also.



Note 4 N910F custom ROM installing/TWRP install/CWM install etc.



So I received my N910F a while back. After checking my device for any faulty parts that would need warranty, I have now decided to void KNOX and root/install a custom ROM. Especially now that N5 Kyubi is out and dr.ketans ROM is on its way. Anyway, I have a few questions. If possible answer each one in the same order as the questions :)
  • Even though I'm sure that you can't root the Note 4 without tripping KNOX, I thought I would ask anyway. Is it possible/any progress done?

  • Is there any progress with resetting the KNOX counter? Back when I was using my trusty N2, some files were leaked that would reset the KNOX counter on the N3. I'm not sure if there is any progress since then though for any other device actually.

  • Right now I'm on 5.1.1 on my N910F. It's unbranded, complete stock, no modifications whatsoever. What should I do first and how? (eg. install latest TWRP/CWM with ODIN and then any ROM you want)

  • Do I have to change my bootloader in order to flash a ROM? (eg. Kyubi Note 5 ROM)

  • After installing TWRP/CWM are there any restrictions to what ROM I install? For example, not being able to install a KitKat custom ROM on my phone etc. (like i said I'm on latest stock 5.1.1 atm)

Thanks in advance everyone, I want to clear things up in my head a little!
