Hi Stingrey & Hi_Blues!

I'm a noob & not sure how to flash a ROM, but I'll try to figure it out. I did try installing the proper firmware (via ODIN), which failed. I did try factory reset & cache clear in recovery mode, but it won't work because "dm verity verification failed".

Thank you so much for your replies.

lollipop upgrade

Where can I find an upgrade to Lollipop for my rooted Galaxy Note 4 - SM-N910U - N910UXXUIANJ5? Thank you!

I just read "The only way to root the Sprint Note 4 on 5.1.1 is via a custom kernel with root injected, which is yet to be developed.", which seems like the general consensus.

I'm feeling pretty hopeless at the moment.
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stingrey123:
There are about thousand things that could go wrong so you should always give as precise and detail description of a problem as possible :)

Usual fail point are drivers. Are you sure that you have correct drivers installed in your PC? Read a guide on sammobile.com. It is always written what to do with ROM files there when you open any description of it.

Try redownloading the rom. The file could be corrupted. Also for best compatibility try flashing original ROM with same version as the one which is in the device already. Because bootloader and stuff... after the flash it might be still stuck in bootloop, try again factory reset - It is often necessary to clear remaining old files preventing boot.

I wish you good luck :) but don't worry. Until download mode is acessable your device should be OK :) it is just a matter of time until we find a solution :)

EDIT (to react to you last post which I missed):

When there is written it is not compatible then you can't do much about it but one thing that could work is flashing older firmware which could be unlocked :) newer firmware doesn't ever mean better. KitKat is for a lot of users the most stable, fast and battery friendly out there, so look at it if you wouldn't mind different design then this might be a way :)

TL;DR: , check PC drivers, flash original firmware with the same version number, do factory reset. After that try KitKat to gain root access :)

custom rom and update bootloader

hi ive tried searching and the forum just seems too large for me to find what i need i know this has been asked 100 times already so sorry in advance

so i have a note 4 rooted on version 4.4.4 SM n910G now i want to try out nameless ROM which ive found on this forum and their guide for installing is quite brief it says i need to update the bootloader i have all the files but i really need a guide i can follow as i'm not sure on the exact process and now once ive updated the bootloader the guide says i need to put the files onto my sd card and do a custom recovery is there another way to do this without an sd card would it be possible to use a usb stick and OTG cable? or just do it through my computer with odin or something

hope someone can point me in the right direction thanks

[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hi_blues:
turn off phone then press Home + volume down and power button at the same time this will take you to download mode.

(or install "quick boot" app from play store if you are rooted and tap downloads).

Please Note: flashing any official rom with odin will erase everything (root, recovery, data etc).

also make sure repartition is not checked in odin.

---------- Post added at 09:10 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:08 PM ----------

depends what rom you have installed.

---------- Post added at 09:15 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:10 PM ----------

I don't think you will have any problem with that. give it a try. make sure to do a backup before try it.
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hi_blues:
I will reply as i understand your questions.

i assume you know how to put phone in download mode?

press Home+Volume down + Power button at the same time.

1. Odin is simple. make sure repartition is unchecked. keep rest default.

with Odin

version 3.07 put everything in PDA anf flash.

use this version becuase it really simple to use for beginners.

2. flash bootloader and modem which ever order it doesn't make much of difference.

3. Bootloader and Recovery can be flashed with Odin only. there are other ways but very complicated.

4. I am using twrp recovery and OTG works fine.

5. did i miss anything?

By "nothing works" you mean that you cannot factory reset your phone? As i said earlier, open sammobile.com. Click the "firmware" tab. Search bar should appear, enter your model number and hit search. Then choose country and open any firmware you want (HINT: Those w/o carrier name in brackets are usually less bloated, so choose them if possible) Your model is limited to Sprint so the previous sentence is redundant. Next step click on the firmware you like and its description opens even with a guide and download link to correct Odin.
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hi_blues:
have you flashed both files bootloader and modem? you have to do them one by one.
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dates_:
inside the tar.zip there is only one file? are you saying i flash first bootloader with that file then i flash modem with the same file?

on odin 3.7 is the modem the "phone" section
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hi_blues:
when i tried nameless rom i had same issues. then i searched bootloader , modem flashed them one by one. Then there were few more issues that made me go with BobCat Rom making it work was a pain but when it was up and running its gorgeous.

Odin on some models can't flash multiple files at same time. Just give it another go. first boot will take ages.
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dates_:
i havent even tried to flash the rom yet this was just updating the bootloader as they said it was necessary? i flashed this file

N910GDTU1BOF1_Bootloader_Modem.tar.md5

into the bootloader section with odin then got stuck in a loop

do you have the links to the files by any chance? ive got 32 min left on a firmware for of 5.0.1 i was going to give that a try is that a better way to update bootloader?
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hi_blues:
things getting completed here. one by one ok

1. Any rom flashed through Odin don't need any bootloader or modem as they are already flashed with rom.

2. When flashing via recovery you need them.

3. Always use recommended bootloaders and modem for that particular rom. to find them search with firmware name like xxxxxxxxBOFx what ever lol.

4. Google with firmware number like xxxxBOF2 bootloader and modem. they are hard to miss.

5. for now Odin is the only way.

6. keep trying and be safe :)

Rooting Sony Xperia Z3 Compact running 5.1.1

Hi all, I hope I am posting in the right section as this is my first post on here. I have been an Apple customer for years and recently I got a Sony Xperia Z3 as a second phone, I was quiet impressed with its capabilities and with its operating system. I was always able to Jailbreak my Apple devices to get that little bit extra freedom out of them, but I am completely ignorant to the requirements of ROOTING on Android.

I am hoping that I have come to the right place for enlightenment, I have attached a couple of screenshots which I hope show all the necessary info about my device and am hoping that someone can steer me in the right direction & maybe show me a "simple" method of rooting my device.

Thanks in advance for any help given.

MAYBE....because I was rooted and had twrp recovery on stock and KNOX protection was active. Sometimes funny things happen....
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
I don't understand what you are saying.

You mean that for you with a rooted note 4 and twrp installed on it, you can turn on knox active protection in settings>security>knox active protection?

Or do you mean that when the device is rooted with twrp installed, the knox active protection will be automatically broken?

If you are rooted with twrp installed, can you just go to settings>security>knox active protection and say to me if you can turn on knox active protection please?
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hi_blues:
lets keep it simple.

settings>security>knox active protection <<<<thus never tried.

all i am saying when i had stock rooted rom with twrp recovery.....my phone had KNOX protection active. Now I use custom rom and KNOX are knocked out for good.

why u need knox so bad?
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
No I don't want knox but I am worry to find that I can't turn on knox active protection in settings>security>knox active protection. So my phone may have a problem and it is why I am worry.

However, what do you mean when you say "my phone had KNOX protection active"?
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
Been having trouble finding info on it, but here's my question:

On KitKat after encrypting your device, is it possible to use the fingerprint scanner to unlock the phone? (Not the master password after reboot; just lock / unlock)

I know it's possible on Lollipop but can't find anything on KitKat.

Little Help Needed Please

Hi

I have a rooted Note 3 SM-N900 rooted with Chainfire' autoroot 4.4.2 awhile ago. I see they now have 5.0.

My question is: What is the upgrade path I must follow. Can i just download the latest version of CF-Autroot and use Odin and install it over my already rooted phone or do I need to go back to stock first and then do the upgrade through Odin with 5.0.

I am sure this question has already been answered but I haven't been able to find it after a few searches, but came across this thread:laugh::laugh: for us noobs

If someone can point me in the right direction or link I would really appreciate it.

Also is 5.0 worth the upgrade or are there irritating issues with it.

Many Thanks
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hi_blues:
Its Note 4 only but I be glad to help.

1. Any Rom flashed with Odin will erase everything. So its like fresh start.

2. I don't understand what are you trying to achieve by updating cf autoroot? just go to play store and update your superuser/supersu whatever you have.

3. Android L is great. I am on 5.1 on my Note 4. no problems at all. Remember nothing is Perfect:)

Hi

Thanks for you response.

I'm not trying to update autoroot, but rather use it with the latest rom (5.0) to update my phone from 4.4.2 to 5.0 (or later if there is)

So I should be able to just jump to 5.0 without having to do anything other than standard flashing procedures even though I'm already on their rom for 4.4.2

I wonder which one 910F or 910C is better? (Snapdragon vs Exynos)

I know that at launch snap had much better battery life, and slighlty less power, and could get hot and throttle cores when under pressure.

Exynos didn't had throttle issue, had a little more power but had much worse battery life, like ~140 minutes less in WWW browsing, and YT.

How does it look now, with android 5.1, and possibly 6.0?

I wonder wich one to buy, and battery life is more important to me, than little diffrences in power.
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stingrey123:
F variant is overheating like hell. After 5.0.1 update it got even worse. First I thought i had faulty hardware later I realised it is really just that bad hw design. So I returned back to KitKat. Exynos is a lot smoother and the battery life won't be worse. If I had choice I would have taken C variant. 64-bit cpu is more future proof, produces less heat and I believe that 14nm technology is more battery friendly too. And it sounds better to have monster Octa-core then boring four-core CPU :D
