hello guys,
I rooted my Note 4 SM-N910C yesterday, and everything was fine until now. I saw that reactivation Lock(can't flash via odin when it's on) was off, so I tried to turn it on, but it was not working. I tried everything, but without sucess. I tried to flash a stock firmware from sammobile, and after that, it was working, so I rooted again and It's not working anymore.

So, someone knows a way to root and get it working? Did you have this problem too?

help me :/

So, guys, have anyone solved this problem?
I also have rooted Note 4 and neither "Remote controls" nor "reactivation lock" can I activate...

Here I am, rooted GS5 with MM fw, before root it worked, as it did with lollipop and kitkat.

After root it doesn't turn on anymore, I reflashed stock recovery too. I guess it's related to knox 0x1, with rooted knox 0x0 kitkat and lollipop I could enable it.

Or maybe it's kernel related, so systemless root with stock kernel could be the solution

Good news, after reflashing a stock firmware I could enable RL back. So it's not knox related but root related. Tomorrow I'll try with systemless root

I think what is needed it to copy your stock recovery from an official touchwiz rom and flash it. You will need a tar.gz converter to flash it via odin. Sometime ago I tried it where your root remains but you have a stock recovery. I believe all those Samsung security features like Reactivation Lock relies on a stock recovery and not a custom like ( TWRP/CWM)

I reflashed stock recovery but still no luck. It's root related, or better kernel related, as someone posted above. I'm on systemless root and it shows "warranty bit kernel" message at boot. With rooted lollipop and stock kernel/recovery it worked

Really, so how can I do the same on Marshmallow. Where can I obtain a systemless root method for my SM-N910H Note 4 ???

Just flash supersu beta via twrp ;)

You must have stock boot.img, I suggest reflashing the entire stock firmware if you did some modifications
Look...i am currently rooted. I have twrp 3.0 and i flashed super su beta. I dont have any modified or special kernels of that sort...just root. So are you telling me all i need to do is flash the original touchwiz boot.img from the marshmallow rom file ( i will have to go convert it to a Tar file) ???.... And that will give me the ability to stay rooted and be able to use reactivation lock again ???
