The Samsung Galaxy Note 4 is still the latest phablet-sized smartphone under the Sammy name,. It’s recently seen the latest Android 5.0 Lollipop software update, but many people are choosing to leave that for now and stay with the trusty KitKat version. If you are rocking the Exynos system chip, Octa-Core CPU variant of the same and running the Android 4.4.4 KitKat software, you can unlock the internal system free from any restrictions by applying the steps below.

BEFORE WE BEGIN

• Turn on the smartphone and navigate to the Settings, followed by the About Device menu and check that you have the N910H model number and no other. The key here is with the last letter. they all start with N910 and change the last digit depending on the carrier it’s hooked up with.
• While you are still in the About Device menu, you want to check the software version matches up with Android 4.4.4 Kitkat and not something like 4.4.3 or 4.4.2 KitKat. Likewise, you want to avoid it saying Android 5.0 Lollipop.
• Applying the following steps on your device does automatically void the manufacturers warranty on your device. You can gain that back again by unrooting the same device afterwards, thanks to special third-party applications available from the Google Play store.
