How to Root the Samsung Galaxy Note Edge (T-Mobile)
Just like most other carriers in the States, T-Mobile has its own version of the Samsung Galaxy Note Edge. The launch of the device on T-Mobile was immediately followed by a root method. And as you may have already predicted, it’s Chainfire who discovered the method. So, the guide below is all you need to root your Galaxy Note Edge and to get the most out of it. Here you go:
Rooting is the process of gaining administrative rights on your Android device. Once we root our Android device, we can then make changes to it to customize it well beyond what it normally can do.
Once you have root access on your Samsung Galaxy Note Edge (T-Mobile), you’ll be able to:
- Remove apps that were preinstalled by your carrier/manufacturer from your device.
- Free up storage space (because of the above benefit).
- Increase battery life (apps that might have been running constantly can be removed).
- Increase performance (after removing apps that are always running, the device will be less bogged down and run smoother).
- Update to a new version of Android (by flashing a custom recovery/ROM, see the end of this procedure for more info on that).
- Tons of other customizations when you use your new found administrative rights to flash a custom ROM (again, see the end of this procedure for more info on that).

I’m having the same issue…What is the solution????
Use Samsung Kies and go into the Tools menu. There you will find the option for software update and initialization. Choose it and then enter SM-N915T and your serial. Follow instructions from there.
Doesn’t work Mahesh.. It said UDC Start n Set Warranty Bit: cache n ODIN : flash write failure. Even tried with the ODIN that came with the CF pkg.
