Here’s a stock pre-rooted ROM for your Sprint Galaxy Note 4 SM-N910P that you can use anytime you want to come back to stock with root and other basic tweaks. This ROM comes with Knox removed and is available in both odex and de-odexed versions. The ROM is based on the N910PVPU1ANIE firmware which is the first firmware released for the Sprint Galaxy Note 4.
Sprint Galaxy Note 4 SM-N910P root was achieved only a few days back by Chainfire with the CF Auto Root. The Sprint Note 4 comes with unlocked bootloader hence it was easier to get root on the device unlike the Verizon and AT&T variants of the device which comes with locked bootloader.
This pre-rooted Sprint Galaxy Note 4 ROM comes as a recovery flashable zip file and credits for it goes to MasterZen88 over at the XDA forums.
