Note 5 N920C Root

[a.bakir]

First of all, all the thanks go to the developers, this is not my work.

I was just looking for a way to root my mobile without changing the kernel.

By pure luck i found out i can root the device.

I downloaded n920ci 4.3 philz touch 6.59.0 from arter97 post and chainfire BETA-SuperSU-v2.49.zip

Flash the recovery via Odin then flash the SuperSu from the recovery.

Hi. I have n920c. Is there any problem with your device? Your root is still there? Any reboot on call issue? Can you give more info? Thank you

Thanks for the info a.bakir, I rooted my Galaxy S6 in a similar fashion but I had problems with battery life and the phone not allowing sleep mode until a fix came out. Are you experiencing any battery issues after this root?

I'm using the Turkish ROM 920CXXU1A0H2, so far I didn't face any problems and no rebooting during call.

this method is causes bootloop for me. What i did:

1) activated oem lock from developer settings
2) flash cwm as linked, with odin
3) flash su 2.49 zip file.

phone stuck at bootloop, recovered to stock rom with kies. Device fixed.
is there something wrong brother?

You need custom kernel to root. I was surprised too by reading this bcoz stock kernel doesn't boot when I tried with prerooted rom.
May be op already have custom kernel when he flashed supersu.
I like to here from op too regarding this.

Yes i have arter97-kernel-n920ci-4.3 installed, but flashing the recovery and the SuperSu fixed the rebooting problem.

That's why you got root access. If you were on stock kernel you will have got bootloop. (still your reply is confusing, I din't get you HAD kernel at time of flashing or not) So better you mention this step in OP that you also requires custom kernel.
(You said in OP that you wanted to root without changing kernel,)

And finally I was not able to understand is there already existing root for N920C or not?
