Safe to upgrade Note 4 SM-N910C while ignoring the CSC?

I just got into a panic mode before I attempt a Lollipop flash with Odin and need a re-confirmation to serve my paranoia.

I bought a Note 4 (N910C) few days ago. Exact specs are on sammobile page which I am not allowed to paste here by the paranoid forum rules.

Product code: GBL

PDA: N910CXXU1ANK5

CSC: N910CGBL1ANK1

(Yeah, KitKat. In 2015. *facepalm*)

I am however not at all inclined to wait for Lollipop until Samsung sees fit to update several very unpopular CSCs to it. We have a Lollipop variant in Bulgaria (again, can't post the link due to the paranoid forum rules -- search for Bulgaria/BGL on sammobile -- as opposed to my variant which is listed as Bulgaria/GBL).

NOTE: I am not using the Globul operator (read in a Macedonian forum that's what the GBL stands for) and my phone is working just fine on the VVT operator -- including mobile internet. So this should render the CSC a non-factor for flashing the Lollipop, is that correct or not?

I need some solid info here. There are a few XDA threads saying that for the N910C the CSCs definitely won't matter inside the same continent but I am nervous to go on that basis alone because there are only a handful of people coming back saying "thanks it works", which is supicious for me.

If you could provide me an assistance, I'll be very grateful. Thanks! =)

Greetings [MENTION=2819192]stingrey123[/MENTION]

I am not good on English but I will try.

I am a new user whit so much passion to learn. Do you recommend don't flash Rom? It's include stocks Rom by Sanmobile? what's about root?

I dint know if knox could be reset at 910C.

Before flashing whatever you will must be a backup about efs. But you must be Root to do a backup, so.

To flash a stock Rom by Sanmobile is necessary be rot?
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stingrey123:
First of all i am not a developer I am a user just like u :) i have probably just a bit more experience with android and it is mostly about searching and reading :) my SGN4 is new so I didn't root it yet and I probably won't in near future just in case of some failure to not loose warranty

So straight ahead to your questions. Don't know San mobile but if their ROMs are official then feel free to flash them they should have software included to flash them and you should not loose warranty. If they are not official (that applies to all non-official ROMs) you might loose warranty as (as I was told) they can find out that you modified something in repair servise even if you flashed back stock. So if something goes wrong then they may refuse to repair ur device for free.

EFS... well it is a bit scary thing and to be honest I didn't even know about it bcs as I said earlier don't have any root/flash intensions now. You should definitely back it up... in an informative article about it there was nothing about need of root so chances are you don't need it or autor thought about is as well know fact that u need it :D but even if you lost in or it got corrupted it should recover by flashing new ROM.

About ROMs in common... every ROM is unique. Some work better then other some are more efficient in some ways... but almost all custom ROM benefit from removing all the bloatware preinstalled. My SGN4 lasts aprox. 4 hrs + 20% battery left (trying to not get lower) of screen on time if our lasts less then four hours all the time then something may be wrong... weird apps behaviour, bad signal, in my case mostly caused by background data connections... try to limit these things... but sometimes it may happen that u loose a lot of % of ur battery... like today over night I lost 23% and they is no app visibly causing it :D but this is first time it happened and hopefully last :D

As always feel free to correct me as I may be wrong.

See the site galaxynote4root for basically all the info on rooting and customs ROMs. If you still have specific questions after that you can search the forum using keywords or look for post on the specific topic. As this is a developers forum, lots of users will recommend you to root tour phone and try our differences that ROMs. It fun and it's relatively safe if you follow the guidelines provided.

Lots of luck on your research!

Hi

I am looking at buying either the N910C or N910U and I cannot for the life of me figure out what's different between the two beside one band. Am I missing anything else?

I am on Rogers network, which per wiki: (won't let me link) , runs the following LTE bands [17 (700B), 4 (1700) and 7 (2600)].

Using GSMarena, I was able to find the difference between the various versions (N910C, N910U and N910W8 which is what Rogers carry).

According to GSMarena, I think N910C is actually the better LTE band because it has Band 17 (700b) instead of Band 28 (700). I know it won't have Band 12 but Rogers haven't push that out yet anyways, so I am not fuzzed about it.

So can someone tell me if I am missing anything in my research? Or am I good to buy the N910C to use on Rogers? The CS on Expansys told me N910U is more suitable and I know a local store that sells the N910U for local use, so not sure if I am making a mistake buying the N910C ($100 price diff for some reason).

Thanks!

NOOB Warning... I think I do not have time to wait Xposed working with Lollipop Touchwiz ROMs so I might flash kitkat. However I am coming from HTC world and need to check couple of things... Corresponding thread is closed so I think I have courage to ask from here...

There (X-Note ROM) is written: "If you don't have NK4 modem and bootloader (NEEDED) flash with odin 3.10"

My bootloader is N910FXXU1BOC3 and Baseband is N910FXXU1BOC3. Do I have to flash NK4 modem and bootloader before flashing ROM? And is it really needed for using Odin for that? (So I cannot use f.e. Rashr or Flashify for that?)
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Psycho_666:
BOC3 bootloader and modem is from Lollipop, so yes you need to downgrade to NK4 if you want to use kitkat.

and Odin is needed for that yes, it's the safest and best way to flash that :good:

Battery Charger

Hi

I bought the Samsung Galaxy Note 4 SM-N910C

It came with the charger and what looks like a plug adapter.

the charger has this printed on it

input

100-240V ~ 50-60HZ 0.5 A

output

9.0V 1.67A or

5.0V 2.0A

on the plug adapter it only has 10A 250V on the bottom

I'm in socal.

I was wondering if i could buy any usb charger that had 5V with 2A output or would I need to buy this particular charger?

Would I be able to order an extra battery from anywhere in the states or would the battery be region specific?

can someone explain what the #s mean?

Well at first I wanted to give u a lecture about "how does Google simplify everyone's life" but because I just woke up and it is beautiful sunny day a won't ... There is a way to downgrade and you should be OK restoring kit kat with odin without tripping knox if you flash official Samsung rom. At least this is written somewhere in comments under a guide to downgrade somewhere on the Internet. Knox detects modifications to system if you flash original rom then no modification happens. Only problem is that the most up to date Kitkat automatically downloads lollipop and force install it. Now go play with a match and strow human child.

been there to m8..

you need to download your stock firmware from sammobile and flash it via odin (you will keep all your files and apps, so no reset)

then you can try to root it again but you did something wrong with rooting your phone so dont make the same mistake.

pm me if you need more help

Question: Note 4 with Large Capacity microSD

I have a SM-N910P. I understand it is spec'd to support microSD cards up to 128GB.

I am wondering if I get a 256GB microSD and format two partitions of 128GB ea (i.e. 1xFat32 and 1xExt4), if things might work. (yes, I know about off branded memory, just doing homework now, I am sure that Sandisk, Samsung, or other brand names will have one before too much longer)

Does anyone know if both volumes will mount as expected, or not?

I am guessing it might, given that the cards are serial devices, but wanted to ask, just in case someone has tried it.
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stingrey123:
I think that partitioning the SD card won't solve the problem as that 128gb limit will be on the hardware side maybe you will be able to use these 128gb and sacrifice the other half of the storage capacity but more probable is that it won't read it at all

Hey guys,

i have a question... i am preparing for suicide mission... as i bought the N910F - snapdragon version and i hate the overheating. Even if does not over heat in Dungeon Hunter 5 where ppl playing it in chat repported that it works like a charm... it lags for me and when it starts heating up slideshow instead of gaming begins... So the mission is: return the phone and hopefully go away with Exynos version...

1. Anyone compared real SD/Exynos diffence in handling heat?

2. Is Exynos able to play Dungeon Hunter 5 fluidly (problems mostly visible after playing two or more missions in a row and when more monster appears)? Could you test it pls? (I am talking about Dungeon Hunter 5 bcs there it is greatly visible)

3. Is Exynos in SGN4 64bit or isn't? A have read it should be and somewhere else it is written it is not. So is it caused by OS Version (Kitkat 32bit only) so updating enables 64bit support or is it somehow disabled in the hardware itself?

SIM Network UN-lock

Hi guys, Recently i bought Note 4 SM-N910C Octa Core Variant from Saudi Arabia. My Cousin bought it for me as it was Cheap when compared to the Price in India. So i asked him to open & use the phone for sometime and he was using it for almost 2 weeks ( Some Saudi Carrier ), i don't remember the name. Anyways i got the phone yesterday and went to a local mobile shop to Cut the Sim and use it in my new phone. I was really Excited and when it booted up, this "Insert Unlock Code" came up and i was like WTF ?:mad::mad::(:crying:

Now the Store people told me i have to Unlock the Set, i didn't know because its the first time i am buying a phone from abroad. So i have some doubts in my mind.

1 ) How much it will cost me in India to Unlock my phone ( Samsung Service Center compare to local shop ) ?

2) What will happen if i flash the Latest Lollipop ROM which is released for India ? Will that remove the SIM Network lock/ Region Lock ?

3) If Unlocked, if i go to some other country will the Phone get locked again and ask me to unlock it in order to use that Country/ Region Sim ? :confused:

4) Shouldn't be the phones already Factory Unlocked / Carrier Unlocked ?

5) What is the Point in Spending that much money on this Phone and again Pay to unlock it to use in different countries/ Regions ?:confused:

I did some online search and found some Paid Unlock Services. Should i do the Online Unlocking to Just go to nearby Service Center ?

PS: Sorry for asking these, might be NOOB Qs for you but I am really really SAD. :crying::crying:

Sounds like its network locked. Here in Aus phones purchased on contract are network locked and can be unlocked through the telco for free at the completion of your contract terms, or, ironically, for a small cost/fee at a dodgey Indian phone dealer/repair shop :) (cost varies per model).

1. Don't know about through Samsung, if the phone was purchased outright, then perhaps free. Not sure.

2. Not sure.

3. Once unlocked, always unlocked.

4. Depends how the phone is purchased. Outright, then should be unlocked, but you may need to call the telco it was purchased outright through to unlock it.

5. As above.

If the phone was purchased outright, I'd call the carrier it was purchased from, they should unlock it or check their website, you may be able to unlock it that way. You can here for certain models from certain carriers.

Otherwise get a quote from a local service centre/phone store.

Good luck.

Yes but you will also need to flash a custom kernel and data fix which is usually posted in the OP of many of the COD6 ROM threads. Short of that you will need to search around for it.

Qs RE Rooting Note 4 Exynos N910U and then loading CustomROM

I have 2 new unused Note 4s (N4) to configure (for myself and my brother). I want to Root and install not-i's SweetROM, currently at 'Sweet ROM V14 BOE5 5.0.1 N910U'.

I will be following the instructions given in the SweetROM thread, but I am still uncertain on a few issues and hope that I can get help here...as I can't post in the SweetROM developer Thread.

My reason for going from a new N4 immediately to SweetROM, are that I have had a Note 3 that, when new, was 'soft-bricked' (nagged to update by using Kies to load what turned out to be a faulty Samsung Hong Kong Android update).

So, I was stuck, and not-i helped me out of the 'hole', and so I tried his SweetROM and it was a faultless experience. Thanks not-i.! And so I could then do Nandroid backups.....and that is how I want to go from now on....with SweetROM and Nandroid backups.

The N4s that I have are both Exynos N910U from Hong Kong. I have 64GB SDCards installed. I would very much appreciate advice on the following questions:

1. Does it matter if I do the following: Rooting, loading a Recovery program (TWRP or CWM) and then loading SweetROM, WITHOUT a SIM being installed?

2. Is there any way to backup the supplied Samsung stock ROM before Rooting?

3. After Rooting and installing a Recover program, will the stock Samsung ROM still run OK?....if so I could then make a Nandroid backup.

4. not-i recommends backing up EFS/IMEIs...what is a good way to do this?....maybe EFS Manager(IMEI)-Note4 http://www.droidviews.com/backup-and-restore-efs-on-galaxy-note-4-and-other-galaxy-devices/

5. I will be transferring all my User Apps and selected System Data following not-i's instructions at http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=60705908&postcount=1767 This means setting up my paid Pro version of Titanium Backup (TB) on the N4 under my Google Account. But what happens if I need to go back to the N3 and use TB Pro again?...will there be a problem having TB Pro on an N3 and an N4 at the same time under the same Google Account?

6 I will be installing 'Sweet ROM V14 BOE5 5.0.1 N910U'. What is BOE5? and is it compatible with what I have?
