Samsung has unveiled the latest addition to the ultra-popular Note line in the form of the Galaxy Note 4. The Note 4 comes with a lot of improvements both in hardware and software, and also features a re-freshening design with the addition of metal materials to make the device look more premium. The device is announced but not yet available in the market except for certain parts of Asia and Australian retailer Yatango. However, the development of this device seems to predate the device launch as the Note 4 is already Rooted!!!
In general, the root is available for the Android device within days of its launch. Even for a flagship product, it takes at least one day for the developers to hack and crack open the device depths. But Note 4 seems to be an exception to this, the device is rooted before it is completely available to the end consumers. The popular Android developer Chainfire, who is behind the development of SuperSU has announced the CF-Auto-Root packages for the Note 4 devices on his Google+ page.
The Chainfire’s Root is now available to some of the Galaxy Note 4 models which are based on Samsung’s home-bred Exynos chip as well as Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 805 processor. The Note 4 devices with model numbers SM-N910C (Thailand Exynos), SM-N910U (Hong Kong Exynos) and SM-N9106W (China Snapdragon) can now be rooted with the CF Auto Root which is an automatic root script that will root the device with minimum effort from the user.
