You will require custom recovery to use this method. Here are steps for how to install custom recovery as well how to root.

1.Unlock Flashing

Go to settings-about device-Software info - You will see "build number" - Tap repeatedly on build number to unlock development option

Now you will see Development option in setting (just above about device)

Open Development option - OEM Unlock - Enable it.



2.get custom Recovery.

Download TWRP by @bigbiff according your variant. Here select tar version of file NOT zip

OR

Philz CWM. Philz recovery is ported for Note 5 by @arter97 and you can download from his web page. - Here look to latest build and select your device model. for example your variant is N920I you have to open n920ci (this indicate n920c and n920i) and download Philz recovery with file name ending tar.md5 (not zip)



3A.Flash custom recovery.

Use Odin V3_10.7 to flash downloaded recovery

Switch off device

Reboot to download mode (Vol down+power+home)

Select downloaded above said custom recovery with AP tab of Odin and flash.



when TWRP prompts asking to "keep read only" or to "allow modifications", select the option to "Keep Read-Only." (Phil's CWM doesn't give the option to keep it read-only.) As well, _if_ TWRP/Philz offers to install root - DO NOT LET IT (as it's not compatible with systemless root.)





Reboot to recovery and now you should have custom recovery.

In case still you have stock recovery then follow this

Again reboot to download mode

Select recovery file with AP tab of Odin

Now uncheck Auto reboot option

Flash selected file

Once flashing complete, disconnect device and long press Vol down+Power

Once screen turns off, immediately press vol up+power+home to reboot to recovery manually.



3B : This step is only for those who want to use Android Pay otherwise you can jump to Step 4 directly.



A completely stock system with the systemless root installed will NOT, by default, work with Android Pay. To make it work with android pay, the following command should be run from a shell prompt on the device (while the device is in TWRP, but before installing superSU.) This is easier to do via 'adb shell', but could, I guess, be done from within TWRP itself (advanced->terminal command)





Code: echo BINDSYSTEMXBIN=false>>/data/.supersu

4.Root with Systemless root.Once you have custom recovery on your device then simply download Systemless superSu zip and flash from recovery that's it. Here is link for Systemless root Big Thanks to @ Chainfire You have to download latest version of it.
