The primary problem is a Magisk installation issue evidenced by the following error message:

E : [core/daemon.rs:316] lstat '/sbin/.magisk/rootdir': No such file or directory (os error 2)
```

This error suggests that Magisk cannot locate its root directory.

**Possible Causes:**

* Incorrect Magisk installation: The files may not have been installed correctly.
* Underlying system corruption: Issues with the Android filesystem could prevent Magisk from functioning properly.

**Troubleshooting Steps:**

1. **Reinstall Magisk:** Begin by completely removing any existing Magisk installations and reinstalling the latest version.
2. **Double-Check Installation Path:** Ensure that Magisk was installed to the correct directory during the installation process.
3. **Clear Cache and Dalvik Cache:** A corrupted system cache can sometimes interfere with app installations. Clear the cache partition and Dalvik cache to reset them.
4. **Examine Magisk Logs:** The `magisk_log` file (`/data/magisk`) provides detailed information about Magisk's activity. Examine this log for clues about the installation failure.
5. **Check for System Conflicts:** Some system files or modifications may be incompatible with Magisk. Temporarily disable any recently installed system modifications to isolate potential conflicts.
6. **Advanced Steps:** If the above steps do not resolve the issue, consider researching advanced troubleshooting techniques specific to the Magisk version and your Note 4 model.

**Note:** These steps are general guidelines. It might be necessary to refer to specific Magisk documentation or community forums for device-specific assistance.
