That is odd however it's the same on mine. Shows as 0000000000.

Sounds like a problem with app Then?

Will it not let you download app at all?

Try going on to apps in settings, find play store and wipe cache.

Try manually downloading the app from internet. Like apkmirror.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.scottyab.safetynet.sample

Download that. Click run test see if it comes up green
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Telj:
I think I have misled you a tad. I can download the app, it installs but when I try to run it I get the unsupported message. This app will not run on rooted devices.
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] callumbr1:
Ahh I see, try to wipe data/cache of banking app and try again. It's deffinately still not rooted. Which banking app is it? Sometimes when knox is tripped they won't work.
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Telj:
Did that and then unindtalled and downloaded again. Even wiped cache partition in recovery, still the same result. It's the Barvas app. Did work before I rooted which is weird why it won't work after removing root etc.
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] callumbr1:
Strange not sure what else to suggest. Unless you just use internet banking on the net instead of app.

[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bidiminished:
I've got a Korean Note 4 (N910S). Would I be able to flash a stock English firmware (e.g. N910G) on it or am I stuck with the Korean telco firmwares? I've tried flashing N910G XSA through Odin but am getting nowhere, not sure if it's an error on my end or I'm trying to do something which can't be done.

Is there any rom with stylus functions intact?
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MatriarchRaszagal:
Hello,

I'm in the same seat as [MENTION=8284446]madlee7[/MENTION]. I've had my Note 4 (SM-N910F) for almost 2.5 years now and at this point I think it's "old" enough to root and try some fun stuff on.

However, I haven't rooted anything since my old Desire HD some 5-6+ years ago and only thing I've done to the Note 4 was to install a 5.0.1 image from sammobile (but even that was like 2 years ago).

Therefor I think I might be a "bit" rusty and out of date when it comes to which tools to use and such.

I'm looking to try [ROM] [7.1.2] [UNOFFICIAL] LineageOS 14.1.

So! The steps mentioned by madlee7 were;

Back up stuff on PC first.

Is this just copying like photos and such from the phone's memory or are you making an actual backup of some kind with a program?

cf-auto root/super su.

Twrp

I'm assuming these are installed from Odin?

Backup to sd

Back what up to SD? Is this the actual full phone backup made you do in TWRP?

Put rom on sd

Check!

Boot to recovery

Check!

Install rom.

Check!

Those things I've done a "couple" of times before at least! :)

I do have some other questions as well.

In the post for the ROM there are links to boot loaders and modems. Is this something you have to install, or is it just if you want to? Also, there are a bunch of different links for each thing.

The ROM I can figure out which is which since I know my phone is a "trltexx", but what is the difference between the ROMs, boot loaders and modems linked? And what is Aroma-Extras?

Am I correct to think that this is what I have to do?

1. Make a note of the version of the image I'm currently using so I can revert to it if needed.

2. Backup stuff from my phone I want to save (like pictures etc) to my PC.

3. Install Auto Root and TWRP via Odin.

4. Make a nandroid backup in TWRP.

5. Follow the "FULL WIPE (with external microsd card)" instructions in the ROM thread.

Feels like quite a short list. I remember there being more steps to rooting my old Desire HD. Is this all or am I missing something?

Thanks in advance,

Raszagal
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] madlee7:
Good luck [MENTION=4160581]MatriarchRaszagal[/MENTION]!

Still a great phone.

I'm not experienced enough to offer advice other than make sure you back up everything you can at the correct stages and make sure you have a stock ROM ready to fall back to should things go horribly wrong and you just want to get things back working for the short term.

I'll leave the rest to the big boys =)

Edit: but just to clarify on exactly what I did, I plugged into PC and backed up all my stuff manually. (literally dragged and dropped ringtones/music/text/photos etc.) then I installed Samsung USB phone drivers and Google adb.

Use adb to make full backup.

Get ROM on Sd card, along with updates if needed.

(I also had to get bootloader/modem but that was to flash with odin first before installing ROM with twrp)

Then download CF-Autoroot here:

https://autoroot.chainfire.eu

Make sure you get right version i.e. SM-N910F.

Turn phone off, put in download mode. Open odin.

Attach phone to USB. Odin should recognise it.

Flash CF-Autoroot (auto reboot is fine)

Load phone into recovery, full backup.

I usually copy the backup to PC afterwards.

Full wipe, then I had to put bootloader/modem on at this point with odin (no restart, but reset it yourself and immediately go to recovery as soon as you reset it)

Then installed ROM from sd with twrp.

Before reboot I also flashed an update with twrp.

Wipe dalvik/cache. Reboot.

Wait ten minutes whilst praying! =D

Wait for someone who knows what's what to reply about your particular ROM though as steps may differ slightly.

Good luck!

End edit.....

Whilst I'm here, where's my mate [MENTION=7187807]callumbr1[/MENTION] at?

Everything running smoothly still apart from the gallery seems to keep corrupting the cache or database or something. After a while my pictures just go white and I can't open them in the gallery. (or occasionally they show skewed numbers or icons like a scroll bar instead of a picture) basically it screws them up. I can still view them directly from camera, but gallery itself is knackered.

Forcing stop, then clearing data/cache seems to fix it, but then after a while it happens again.

Any idea what could be causing it?

I notice there's a gallary(sic) fix in the n4 ROM tool (one time or on reboot) so guessing it could be a known issue but can't seem to find details.

Edit 2: actually found a few people having same issue and some suggest replacing the gallery apk using root explorer or apkmirror etc but I don't really know what I'm doing there or what I should be replacing it with.
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] callumbr1:
Yeah mate it is a known error. I had exactly the same when I had a N7 ROM on my note 4. But as you said in edit 2, the easiest way to fix it is to manually install the gallery.apk with root explorer amd removing the current gallery. It's quite simple to do really if you need I'll give you the steps. Which ROM are you using now?

Also your steps for flashing a custom ROM are pretty much bang on :) however I prefer systemless SuperSU flashed through TWRP rather than autoroot.
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MatriarchRaszagal:
Thanks both [MENTION=8284446]madlee7[/MENTION] and [MENTION=7187807]callumbr1[/MENTION] for your tips! I'll see if i can find the time to try this out over the weekend. I'll report back of my success/failure :)
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] madlee7:
I'm using the Ketan M12 ROM at the moment. Latest version. N910F phone. :)

As for the systemless SuperSU, how do you flash twrp first without root? Thought you needed to root before you can put either of those on (hence me using autoroot) but I could be (or am probably!) wrong.

Good luck [MENTION=4160581]MatriarchRaszagal[/MENTION], keep us posted and see you on the other side ;)
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] callumbr1:
I always used autoroot on my s6 edge. But my note 4 always SuperSU systemless. I believe SuperSU 2.78 sr5 on my note 4 to be exact.

And no mate root not needed for TWRP. You can flash TWRP first through Odin then flash SuperSU through TWRP. That's how I always do it. Although recently I have been using magisk.

I could always give you my S8 gallery.apk and try that. Not much difference between that and N7 gallery.

Keep us posted buddy :good:
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] madlee7:
I see, didn't know you could just flash twrp with odin but that makes perfect sense now that I think about it :)

How would I change the apk then? Just stop the process, use a root file explorer, rename the apk (for easy roll back) and replace with new one of same name?
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] callumbr1:
Yeah that's it mate.

However the new gallery will need to be put in the exact same place with with the correct permissions set. I recommend es file explorer. So it should be placed in system/priv-app and the permissions should be rw-r-r.

Have a go at that see how you get on
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] madlee7:
Cool ;) do I need your apk? Or do you know of an adequate replacement?
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] callumbr1:
Your on a N7 ROM? Go to system/priv-app and send me a screenshot of your gallery.apk details please
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] madlee7:

Edit: There's one here that's supposedly OK:

[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] callumbr1:
Try it but that's an old version.

Or look here

https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/samsung-electronics-co-ltd/gallery/gallery-5-3-01-54-release/

Edit: IF they don't work I'll upload my gallery.apk from my system to try.
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] madlee7:
[MENTION=7187807]callumbr1[/MENTION] I think maybe I'm doing something wrong? Downloaded a couple of apks to try.

Gone to settings, force stop gallery. Changed SecGallery2015.apk to .apz

Put new apk in same folder (system/priv-app/Secgallery) renamed it to SecGallery2015.apk

Changed permissions to rw r r.

Reboot.

Nothing. No icon.

Tried opening the apk manually to install, but it won't run.

Deleted it, renamed apz to apk, rebooted, back to how it was before.
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] callumbr1:
Try the latest one from apkmirror. After setting permissions boot to recovery wipe cache then reboot.

https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/samsung-electronics-co-ltd/gallery/gallery-5-3-02-302-release/

Just found my post from when I had this issue and I fixed it by doing exactly what you are.
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] madlee7:
Cheers dude, none of the newest ones work, they're all for Android 7.

Put 3.1.72 on for Android 6+ and that seems perfectly fine atm. See how we go ;)

Also, yeah, looks like I was forgetting to wipe the cache in recovery!
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] callumbr1:
Cool bro see how it goes :)

Yeah always wipe cache in recovery after anything like this really. Fixes a lot of issues.

Did you ever try viper fx?
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] madlee7:
I did yeah, awesome. Got it set for when I have earphones in. Bit of fiddling and got some nice settings that I'm very happy with.

Is it just me or does it work for calls too? I swear even phone calls with the earphones in sound crisper and clearer.
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] callumbr1:
Nice one :good: and yeah it seemed to me too. I think it's all audio played through the headphones. Next time your on a call open up viper and if it says processing then yes for calls also.
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] madlee7:
Would you recommend updating other apks? Like the camera for instance. Mine is 3.0. They're up to 7 or something now. Although 4.0 seems to be the last android 6 version.

Also, where on earth do you put camera mode apks like surround shot etc? I installed some with galaxy apps, (like you would with an unrooted device) but they just crash the camera.

I can download surround shot from apk mirror but I have no idea where to put them!
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] callumbr1:
It's up to you really. If they are not buggy or anything I would leave them be. But you can update to the latest marshmallow version. Don't update to nougat updates they won't work.

As for camera, try updating camera then installing the camera modes. They need to be correct versions.

As for manually installing them look in your system/ and look for /cameradata. If you find it open with note editor and change the values of the modes you want to TRUE.

Like this screenshot.
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] madlee7:
Thanks Callum, I'll try updating the camera. I think everything else is fine anyway. One of my main reasons for flashing a ROM was to get rid of most of the crap that comes as standard. There's not much to update!
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] callumbr1:
There's an easier way to do that than flashing a rom.

You can just root and use titanium backup to remove all the bloat and crap you want.
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] madlee7:
Oh, I know ;) I have titanium backup now and have freezed some things anyway, but flashing Ketan was also so I could 1) finally get some knowledge on flashing a ROM, 2) get a more up to date Note 7 shiny looking interface and 3) have the added advantage of already coming with less of the bloatware.

I started a backup I watched it is it hit Google Drive. It sat & sat & sat there for a few hours stuck on backing it up.

I have TB set to back up to my SD card & Drive just in case 1 fails I have a backup..

Is it getting stuck there because its trying to "backup its own backup" while backing up lol ;)

Does TB actually backup Drive contents or just the app itself?

N910T is US T Mobile

N910G is Asia etc...
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RichSPK:
Thank you. I spent quite a bit of time with Google before I posted the question and it's clear that there's more differences than just the markets they are sold in: different processors, different amounts of memory. I think I read that a Chinese - market SKU had a smaller battery. Most of the spec pages I find tell me that the Note 4s came with Snapdragon and Exynos processors, but they don't say which SKU got which processor. Different SKUs work with different bands. I'm looking for help filtering all the information Google presents.
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] callumbr1:
Most US models have snapdragon processors with locked bootloader, N910A, N910U, N910T, N910W8. Europe and international unlocked versions have exynos processors with unlocked bootloader N910G, N910S, N910F.

Thanks! Those are useful links.

A bit of googling suggests that only the Verizon Note 4 has a locked bootloader, and that it can be unlocked, at least in some cases. Are you aware of any Note 4s I should avoid because the bootloader can't be unlocked, or that I'd have to pay for tools to unlock the bootloader?
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] callumbr1:
Verizon and AT&T have locked bootloader. N910A, N910V. In some cases Verizon can be unlocked but in most others it can't. Basically anything with a snapdragon chip has a locked bootloader. Avoid N910P also as it's locked to Sprint. I know some or most T Mobile versions can be unlocked. N910F international is the one I would go for.
