[BOUNTY] Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5 SM N920V

[hunsinger89]

While other Note5 variants have recieved root/recovery methods, once again Verizon models seem to have been left in the dust.

I dont know about you guys, but I have owned the Note5 since launch, and have been actively checking multiple forums, Waiting for root and possibly a new recovery! I would love to see CM on my phone some day. I know for a fact a few of my friends would be happy to pledge a few dollars each, to the person who can provide a method.

Personally i would like to pledge $10.00 USD to the person who can bring us an easy root/recovery for this device.
I will talk with my group of friends, and see if i can take up a bit more. (im not super rich)

My hope is that this will steamroll with the people on the same system as I, and we can get a few more pledges.
The parameters for the mission:
-Be the first person to create or find a method to achieve the following:
-Successfully obtain Root access from a fully stock SM N920V Note5 Verizon Variant
-Make a post in this thread with Screenshots/photos
-provide full step by step instructions that anyone else reading the forum can follow
-Wait for atleast one member to follow the same method and confirm it works as described on their fully stock device with the SM N920V build.
-Claim your bounty via PM from the pledger(s)

Payment will be processed between each member and the bounty collector via PM on an individual basis.

If you would like to make a pledge, Please make a post in this thread, and make the subject line the amount you would like to pledge.

A huge thank you in advance, from myself, and all the patrons who have dedicated a few dollars to the cause, this means more to us than.... well chances are if you are developing the method, you know how much it means to the community.

If you are a developer, please contact me with details or updates about progress, if you are working on this project.
Additionally, please feel free to post some information about the progress, the community would love to know!

Not to be a party pooper but hasn't it been said that if the note 5 Verizon and AT&T will go into a bootloop intentionally if rooted?

Gentlemen/Ladies, Have faith

Where there is a will, there is a way
- English proverb

All things are possible, such as removing the devices capability to detect root. There just has to be a person to take on the challenge, and reverse engineer or work around the code. Androids Open source nature should play to someones benefit! The terms they use are root prevention. Preventions were meant to be bypassed. if the device shows a black screen and says " device is rooted... etc" then obviously the root has worked, now how do we get past that? Im no programmer/coderninja, but any good ideas from those who are are more than welcome on this thread. Knowledge is power.

Please make sure people see this, if we can gain enough of a following, it will attract the right people for the job!
Thank you all for showing support in this cause thus far. Im updating the thread with pledges now.

I'd also like to put 20 dollars toward this but it has to be permaroot ill put down 10$ for anything removed by reboot. the note 5 is so close to a perfect phone that not having root annoys me so much. Having ad away and drive droid and the multitude of other features that i have grown accustomed to would make this phone perfect.

 

[mj0528]

If it's for at&t as well, I got 20 on it

Thanks for the support thus far guys, Be sure to share it with people you know to have a better chance of making this happen and attracting the right hacker

 

[xavierxxx2p]

$20 here.

 

[BmoreBadBoy]

Throwing $20 pledge unto the pile. How much do you think it'll take to get the right hacker interested?

 

[mj0528]

Roger that!

 

[0xDFA]

edit: nevermind, i'll pledge $10 for now, i'd like to see if we can get a full root (preferably that doesn't trip KNOX)

You guys are nuts! You honestly think anybody is going to waste their time and efforts on a "dead" phone for 10 and 20 bucks? What are you, 12? At the very best, whoever takes on this project will render their $700 phone useless through trial and error and may need to go through multiple phones to get it right. It'll probably take the right guy at least a few grand. Nobody is willing to go through that for 10 and 20 bucks, and there aren't enough of us to build up the money we need if we're only pledging $10 . If you REALLY want results, you're going to need to up your ante. I will pledge $500 myself, but that's still not going to cut it. Whoever takes on this project needs at the very least the price of the phone.. Start adding zeros to your numbers people!

Not just money bro. ..you also get bragging rights. ..I remember when the s3 got finally rooted. .he became over night celebrity. .then you have j case who rooted the black phone in under 5 minutes. .that was the phone they claim could not be rooted. ..I understand your point ..but with enough donation we can get our goal. ..it will take time....for now adguard is your best friend, haven't even missed root.
