As far as I can tell you need a custom kernel 1st. So far there is no kernel that has been reported to work on the N9208.
So if you would like to take a chance and be the 1st to try one of the kernels out there.....and report back. ....

Sorry to ask a question out of topic. But u r the only one who can asnwer. I wanted to do the same thing and buy mine from Korea but I was afraid it won't work with tmobile.
R u getting 4G LTE on this phone? Really appreciate u answer

Hi there. Yes I am getting 4G LTE from T-Mobile. You can check from here. http://www.willmyphonework.net/
Before I purchase I make sure the phone support 4G LTE
But seems like no root for this version

Thanks for the instructions.
But if I could ask one more thing... Please post a link to the file or maybe the file itself.
I would not want to download the wrong file and brick my new phone.

Thank you kind sir...

All working fine
1 Successfully rooted and
2 recovery installed too
BUT
The TWRP recovery so installed in Chinese language...No English
Is there any scope or info on recovery in English language

I am just curious since we can root the phone. As for TWRP, we should be able to install with the English version of TWRP right ?

Thank you very much for this root file. Using Odin 3.09, applying PDA on my SM N910F (international Snapdragon), it's fully working. I was hopeless to see my Note 4 as snappy as kitkat since I'm under 5.0/5.1 (and I tried many many ROM, stock or customs, AOSP or not).
TY again!

SM-N9200 HK version root?

Hey guys, do any of you know if we have root already for this version for Note5?
I found this the other day:
http://apk.tw/thread-706898-1-1.html
But... I don't speak Chinese and I don't know that website so I'm not risking it. Would love to get a root on my HK SM-N9200 as well.

Thanks bro. I don't think I will risk it either. There are also no comments there that confirm that it works...
At the moment I don't have a real reason to root, but i'm sure I'll need it in the future. Hopefully we will have it soon.
Good luck!

Since you have the N9200 as well, could you do me a massive favor? I'm really dissatisfied with the scrolling behavior on mine. I've made a thread about it in the General section.
Could you let me know what software version you are on? Have updated to the latest one (N9200ZHU1AOI1)? But most importantly: do you notice stuttering behaviour in scrolling through apps like Google Play store, Youtube, Facebook etc...?
You can capture the behavior by following the steps described in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/note5/general/note-5-scrolling-behaviour-t3195672.

No problem, I'll try to get to it as soon as I get home, Going to Uni now.
Though I must say that I dont really use those apps because I live In china. If I use them I have to open Astrill VPN. I just Tried it with facebook, and it seems pretty smooth, except when it loads new content because of Chinas great firewall.
(Im also on the new version, but today I tried the "Package debloat" app from the Q&A section and disabled 150 or so apps)
So does anyone found any clue for N9200 root (OI1 firm) ???
Still no :\
@Seven Winds @tisfo @Willyman just got my device, im on it.
got twrp so far..
roots next..
then arter's kernel with dual sim intact..
Edit:
current progress and planned
unlock bootloader
install twrp
backup everything
reboot
notice GAPPS get removed when you unlock
verify my knox container still works (says KNOX has been locked contact your IT admin need to change lock type)
flash stock n9200 kernel with ',verify' removed (aka allows system to be mounted and modified, without this change a kernel cant boot a rooted system)
reboot and verify knox container still works (same message)
flash gapps reboot and verify
flashing back gapps didnt restore everything i was missing (looked like every app i downloaded from play store was also removed), so i reflashed the stock system i pulled out of odin tarball
restoring data
Damn im glad I backedup everything as soon as I got recovery, first boot after unlocked BTloader, it was next reboot that it deleted all my data ( so after reinstalling stock system and restoring my data, everything is back to how it was)
*** im here ***
twrp su root
reboot and verify knox container still works
flash arter kernel that I merged n9200 sources for dual sim support
reboot and test
(ii know knox wont work with any other customer kernel (i really want knox workspace with custom roms and plan on making it work)
Thank you gundal for your hard work!
I am using n9200 HK version. And I rooted my note 5 already!
Thanks for my friend in China, he helped me a lot and everything works fine.
I also installed xposed framework in my note 5.
Can you please share links to the files you've used? I tried to install twrp via Odin and I'm getting error RQT_Close and the phone writes something in chinese in the download mode.
Any customer ROM for dual sim yet?

If not too much has changed from the Note 4 to the Note 5 you can do it. It will void your warranty and may or may not totally brick your phone.
Google how to unpack and repack firmware. Do a lot of reading because you alone are responsible if you wind up bricking your device.
Thanks but please do let me know where i should start reading.

Install the last one for China.
ok so i used a root and installed google play services. All well there.
Also google contact sync was not working so i used sync adapter and i can see google contacts in phone.
Now one problem has started since google sync started:-
If i open a contact to view it and then close it, a message thread is added for that contact in message application. Although its empty.
It is not really a problem but an annoyance.
Let me know if someone can provide a solution.

N9500 HK root available?

I have a Note 8 SM-N9500 from Hong Kong.
I searched xda website and there is a way to unlock bootloader.
But I wonder if there is a guide to root SM-N9500?
Thank you very much!
if you read the guide for the bootloader im pretty sure it tells you what twrp to install... then from there just install magisk. Then you are rooted

Guys, have you tried something like using Google to search for "how to unlock n9500 bootloader"? I just did and the first result was a thread here at xda with all the info you need for that, magisk, etc. No need to ask in separate threads. It's a basic question, so just search for it and you'll have your answers.
