[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kawalpreet Juneja:
100% clear that somebody has messed with device.

Is it a refurbished device? In this case ask the owner whether he had flashed custom ROM.

To get original model, boot into download mode (power+home+vol. down), there you'll find the correct model.

If it's bought from store, don't take it to store! Take it immediately to Costumer Service Center and ask them that you aren't getting update. They'll check if it's real. If they fix it, no problem. But if they say that it isn't original, report at consumer forum. Or you can simply talk to the store owner where you bought your device from (not a good idea though).

Yes u r ryt it's used mobile (second hand).i buy this from Dubai But in download mode how to find model. Will u plz tell me briefly how to check in download mode?
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kawalpreet Juneja:
Do you live in US? I would never buy refurbished phone from another country. How would you claim if it's not real? No one will be able to help you in this case. You can't go to Dubai, Samsung costumer care can't help with that.

Well, you want to know to boot into Download mode, I wrote earlier, power off your device, press this combination: Power + Vol. Down + Home button at once.

You'll be greeted by a screen which shows an Android image plus some text like I've attached. You can see model/product name. There would be a alphabet F/V after N910.

If it's N910F, flash N910F Marshmallow firmware. And if it's N910V, flash it's Marshmallow firmware.

Unfortunately, if you don't see that screen and greeted by some Chinese stuff, well I can't help you right after that.

No... i am from India and living in UAE. Ok i will check it with download mode as u tell me. If this is SM-N910V then which firmware i should flash on it?

Dubai support Verizon? In my knowledge Dubai only have 2 phone network. Then it definitely would be N910F

Hi.

I'm about to buy a Note 4 SM-N910F and i have a Gear 2 Neo that i use daily.

Are there rom's 6.0.1 to 7.1.1 that i need to stay away from?

I tried a 7.0.1 rom (i think) on my Note 3 and the Bluetooth did not funktion as it should. It made my Gear 2 Neo useless.

With that said i might as well ask more.

Can you recommend one or more roms that fit these six?

1. Samsung Gear 2 Neo must work. That means software and Bluetooth.

2. No random reboots and excessive battery drain.

3. Stable daily driver.

4. Easy to unroot if i have to.

5. Data must work

6. And last but not least.. Be able to play Pokemon Go without having to hunt for new fixes every other day. I can do without root if i have to.

I know i'm asking a lot. But hey, asking is free ;)

What i really want is a debloated stable rom that lets me play Pokemon Go with no hassle.

Thank you all.

//Tesla

Ps. Please respond even if i have to forgo Pokemon Go. Ds.

Ps 2. Okey, i don't have a Note 4 yet so i'm not yet in the loop of allt things,

i will reed all i can

. But if i wan't to, i can root stock 6.0.1, remove bloat apps and do other root things and then unroot and still play Pokemon Go. Right? Ds.

Hi, I have a Note 4 that I would like to get back to as stock as possible, but I don't know much about it. The model number is SM-N910W8 and the SW VER is N910W8VLU1ANJ3.

I am not sure which carrier it is with. It looks like it was rooted, but I am not sure which method. When I was searching how to unroot it, some of the guides said that it depends on how it was rooted in the first place.

Sorry, I am sure this has been asked a lot, but I am paranoid and I am afraid choosing the wrong method and bricking the phone. Thanks in advance.
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] indrayana.b:
- download the stock rom, you can find for example from sammobile.com

Please choose the stock rom which suitable with your device.

- flash it through Odin

It will delete the root, and you will back to the stock rom.

Hi All!

So here's my Noob question:

I'm running a Note 4 910F and currently have Dr Ketan's ROM (v12).

All's well and good.

I see that the Note 4 recently got an update and Im wondering do I need to download this?

If I did, how does it interact with the ROM and in fact, will it work with a rooted phone?

Presumably, the update for a stock ROM won't work with a custom ROM?

If I was to revert my phone to stock and update it and then reinstall the custom ROM would the update be wiped out?

Can someone put me out of my misery on this one?
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Soufiansky:
What do you mean ? If you download the firmware and flash it with odin you will lose root,twrp, your custom rom...etc. If you reinstall the custom rom then its ok your BL and modem will remain the same,i really dont fully understand your question.

Hi guys, hopefully one of you guys will be able to help me.

I've already rooted my phone a long while back. I'm on the Tmobile Note 4 (SM-N910T), and Android 5.1.1. I was thinking about trying to get the 6.0.1 update since it's been a while since I've gotten any updates. Do I need to re-root or what? I used the Cf auto root the last time since it was automatic and super easy, could I just use that again or are the steps different since I'm already rooted? Thanks guys.
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kawalpreet Juneja:
After updating, device will lost root. You'll have to re-root. Don't take that CF auto root of older version but get Marshmellow Version from Chainfire website.

You can also flash latest TWRP recovery and then simple flash universal SuperSU.zip (also available on chainfire website) through TWRP.
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tyrannicalduck:
You said after I update I lose root. So I update by just downloading the new CF auto root? Or so I only do that after updating? Updating is the part I'm confused about honestly..
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kawalpreet Juneja:
Oh I understand. Since your device is rooted, you'll not get update, you'll have to update manually. Just download latest firmware for your device from Sam mobile or where ever you can find it. Your device model is N910T. And flash it using Odin. Then simply flash CF auto root.

Note: 1). After flashing, your device will take a good time to boot.

2). Make backup since data will be lost.

I've noticed a lot of s8 full ports on lots of phones but not the note 4. Is it because just no ones made them or it can't be done?
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ParrSt:
Please help

I normally visit this site when I get a new phone. I take the time to research and try to ask non-trivial questions. this time is different. My wife's Note 4 has crapped out. I have tried a system restore and it is still booting randomly and often hangs on the Samsung logo. I need one last hail Mary before I go buy a new phone that I cannot afford, and or that she will not be happy with.

I want to Odin a fresh system ROM. I think Odin is still the tool. What I asking for is someone who can point me to the articles or answer a few questions. I don't want any root or custom for her, but I can't even boot to recovery, it hangs. What version should I install, and where can I find a tutorial (it has been a while and I am not sure if anything has changed). She currently has Android 6.0.1 and Kernel 3010.40-9120850. I think I remember that upgrading ROMS, you sometimes had to make sure you had the right vernal, but I think I remember Odin did a full fresh install of the whole thing (ROM, kernel and so on). If that is right, then what if anything would need to be done after that? Again, I apologize for asking for that which I can find from searching.

[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] force70:
Hi Bob.

You have it correct odin is still used to flash factory firmware. There are other methods but i have always used odin.

Go to sammobile.com and download the latest firmware for your wifes model (and download a fresh version of odin while your there.

Get odin and the sammy drivers installed on your PC.

Extract the firmware zip so you have a .tar file.

Make sure on the device oem unlock in settings is on.

Run odin as administrator.

Place the device in download mode and plug it into the cable.

Click only the AP slot in odin and navigate to where the firmware .tar file is and load it.

It may take a few minutes until odin is ready then start the process.

Wait until you see the green pass message and your done!

Reboot and if the the device wont boot do a factory reset (this will wipe the device so back up first).

That's my abbreviated version to refresh your memory...there are way better instructions out there than that though.

[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ParrSt:
And this does not require her phone to have any specific kernel or any other pre-requisite?
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kawalpreet Juneja:
"This is according to my experience."

1). Yes, you should always do a clean install because your device was rooted.

2). I never used Flashfire to flash upgrade. I use Odin, since full wipe is required for stability.

3). It's okay if it's booting for first time, but it's abnormal if it's happening everytime you boot and it's completely because you didn't clean flashed the upgrade.

4). See, SuperSU app and SuperSU binary is different concept. When you flash SuperSU from TWRP, it first install binaries in system and then install SuperSU app. So basically there's no problem with SuperSU app.

5). I never used Flashfire for that purpose as I told. And since I'm using custom ROM(s) I don't remember last time I flashed stock ROM. Maybe it was 6-7 months ago. But flash it through Odin it would be best!

6). As I told, it's due to dirty flash... 100%!

7). According to me best method is to flash TWRP first, and then flash SuperSU.zip from TWRP.

Hey wait! If you can spend a little time and go a little deeper, here's best suggestion for you: Multiboot your device with pre-rooted custom ROM! And with it, you can keep pure stock ROM (you'll have to root it once anyway). Follow this link: https://xdaforums.com/note-4-verizon/development/efidroid-verizon-samsung-galaxy-note-4-t3575300

[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alfa_newuser:
thank you very much for your fast response , appreciate to be patient with me & answer the following :

1- what do you mean by clean install?

2- should i wipe my data even if i upgrade current stock firmware to newer version " stock upgrade no customer ROM " ?

3- is it essential to wipe my data if i root using TWRP + super SU ?

4- i only use TWRP to install super su & to wipe delvak cash , never try it to flash newer version of stock firmware , does TWRP give me the option to select what to install from firmware ; example: flash all firmware package expect recovery

5- what is the best, safe , stable customer ROM u use with Note 4 : mine is SM-N910C ?

6- when i use ODIN to flash new stock firmware , i never lose my data & apps , is this the case with TWRP ?

thank you
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kawalpreet Juneja:
Hello,

1). Clean install means installing ROM with data partition cleared. In simple word: A new start.

2). For rooted stock rom, not always necessity, but it is always recommended. About custom ROM: Visit any forum of custom ROM, they'll ask you to clean flash for stability even though dirty flash will work.

3). No, you don't need to wipe data to flash TWRP and SuperSU. There'll be no change since they are independent of data partition. (SuperSU app is installed in data partition, but it isn't a problem because it's like installing any other app)

4). No. TWRP, in fact can't flash firmware as a complete package. You'll need to gather different images (.img) files and other flashable files (.zip) to complete it. By the way, you can always flash latest Bootloader amd Modem using Odin and grab a minimized stock ROM package (.zip) from XDA and flash it. There are some developer who had minimized stock ROM for performance. (I'm not sure about your model, you'll have to search).

5). Custom ROM? I use Dr. Ketan M12. For stability, I would suggest you RamROM. Dr. Ketan's ROM is stable, but it's full Note7 port, you'll have problems with thousands of features in it! RamROM (not the full N7 port one) is the stablest ROM I've ever flashed. It's based on stock with N7 apps and awesomely tweaked by developer Ram121.

6). See, stock firmware is provided by Samsung here. They've to make sure to protect our data... you'll get both option in TWRP. If you flash directly (ROM.zip) it'll not do anything to data partition. But you've option to wipe it before flashing. You don't need to wipe internal storage though.

To backup apps before wiping, use Titanium Backup (root). It'll backup app and when you restore it, you'll get app with data. For example, you backup(ed) some game in which you've highest score of 110, you don't wanna lose it. When you'll restore it after flashing, you'll get that game in same state.

Okay that's great.

You can flash TWRP first after ensuring that everything's okay, then also try wiping cache and dalvik cache if it's causing problem related to heat.

And then if problem gets solved, you can simply flash latest SuperSU.zip
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alfa_newuser:
thank you .

flashing TWRP is done , not problem till now , wiping cach & dalvik cach is done , i will wait before root my device again , & i will use latest version of super su ( correct me plz if i am wrong )

what should i do if i want to update stock firmware in case new version released ?

1- will flash official update using odin & then flash recovery again to root my device ?

2- open for suggestion from you

hint : currently i am interesting to have my device well with updated stock rom

waitting for your feedback
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kawalpreet Juneja:
Yup. Follow that procedure. I'm sure we'll rarely get updates from now on.

For huge updates, wipe data as well (use Titanium backup to backup your data).

For some security fixes, don't wipe data.

You can also try other way which don't actually need wiping. Before flashing, make backup of whole data partition + system partition using TWRP. After flashing stock and TWRP without any wipe, just check for 2 days if everything is perfect. If it is, you don't need to wipe data. If it isn't, just wipe data from TWRP (after backing up with Titanium Backup) and you're good to go! And if you're not interested in the newly firmware you've flashed, just restore system+data backup from TWRP. Else delete backup since you don't need it anymore.

Please you don't need to thank me... I've also digged over these info and gained it from some other peoples years back. (Plus experience of doing this) :)
