Follow these instructions to the letter. Do not touch any buttons or checkboxes that are not listed below to touch!

Just make sure before rooting process that Reactivation lock under Security (Phone settings) is UNCHECKED

- Download and unzip the CF-Auto-Root-....zip file (link bellow)
- If you end up with a recovery.img and cache.img file, you've extracted twice. You need to end up with a .tar.md5 file - don't extract that one
- (USB) Disconnect your phone from your computer
- Start Odin3-vX.X.exe
- Click the PDA button, and select CF-Auto-Root-....tar.md5
- Put your phone in download mode (turn off phone, then hold VolDown+Home+Power to boot - if it asks you to press a button to continue, press the listed button, or run adb reboot download command)
- (USB) Connect the phone to your computer
- Make sure Repartition is NOT checked
- Click the Start button
- Wait for Android to boot
- Done

Maybe the best part of root is mobile without advertisements

AdAway is great app for that - https://f-droid.org/repo/org.adaway_55.apk

Detailed battery statistics

BetterBatteryStats is the best app for that - http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1179809

Great utility

Look here for other note 4 versions - http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=55865442&postcount=3
Rooting procedure is the same, just make sure that you download proper zip file for your note 4 version :good:

Yes Knox 0x1 varianty void after root

Knox is unique Samsung stupid feature...
Note 4 comes with tons of bloat and other software garbage and when people root phone to clean that they lose warranty!
