This includes the Galaxy Note 4 SM-N910F, N910G, N910C, etc. and also the US and Korean variants like the N910P, N910T, N910V, N910A and N910S/L/K.

The CFAR is a basically a tar file embedded with latest SuperSU that can be flashed using Odin tool. This is a popular rooting method for Samsung devices and you can look for our successful tutorial for Samsung Galaxy S5, Note 5, the Galaxy S6 (Edge, Plus), Galaxy S7 (Edge) and more. with CF-Auto-Root. All these devices run on the latest TouchWiz firmware and the CF-Auto-Root is one of the safest option available to gain root privilege.
However, the CF-Root file is available only for the N910C/F/G, some US carriers, and Korean variants for the Android 6.0.1. So for other variants, CFAR only supports root for devices running on older Android 5.1.1 Lollipop. Soon the files may show up for these variants as well. So stay tuned. This procedure is simple and will help you root your device with ease.

If it still doesn’t boot, then something has gone wrong, and you should probably reflash your stock boot.img and recovery.img or just restore the full stock firmware onto your device.
