If you have updated your unlocked Galaxy Note 4 with Android 5.1.1 OTA update (N910CXXU1COH4) that Samsung rolled out for users in Poland, and are currently looking for a root method, you might consider using the root package by senior XDA forum member, geiti94. But to use this root, ensure that your phone has Android 5.0.1 bootloader, otherwise you will encounter infinite bootloops. Also, keep in mind this root removes Knox security, installs SuperSU, Buxybox and 5.0.1 modem.
The member further warns users not to use this root package as it installs 5.0.1 modem for Note 4 N910C model. Also, before jumping directly to the root method , ensure that your phone meets the following requirements.
