[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] uktechguru:
Unfortunately rooting is said to be very insecure and opens up your phone to all kinds of security issues (apparently) which is probably why Samsung added this. Even though for us power users we see a lot of benefits from rooting, Samsung and other manufacturers don't like it even though they know some people will root their devices anyway.

As far as the warranty, reactivation lock is more to protect the phone from being wiped etc so if you did loose it, you could prevent the thief from wiping the phone and using it.

There is no way Samsung will know that you've tripped the Knox counter unless they actually have the phone in their hands. That kind if information isn't available remotely.

Hope I understood your post properly.

Good good. As for ROMs I'd go with whatever it says in the about phone section. That's the firmware that's been listed onto the phone so should be OK. If all else fails then try the model number down under the battery.

[MENTION=1681077]Chad_Petree[/MENTION] is correct in saying that you will loose your warranty if you root your phone. At the moment there is no way to root a note 4 without tripping the knox counter. There is a method that will not trip Knox for some earlier Samsung phones (e.g. s5) by using towelroot but it will not work for the note 4.

[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] uktechguru:
First unlock your phone. Contact EE and ask them to unlock your phone, then you can install the version of lollipop for your phone using Odin.
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BaGRoS:

[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] uktechguru:
In presuming you model is sm-n910f? So any released lollipop firmware that is not tied to a network will work. The current ones that are somewhat stable are the German DBT and Netherlands (unknown) versions.

[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] uktechguru:
You should really only use the version for you model. Flashing firmware for another model might cause problems. Always recommended to use firmware that is only for your model.

Lollipop is being released for your phone model so you can use one that is not connected to a network and flash using Odin:

[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] uktechguru:
The CSC and PDA will be different because it is different version of android. It should be fine to flash using Odin. You might get some pre installed apps as added bloat wear but you can disable them if there is any.

So my situation:

I wanna flash official CM12

Got stock 4.4.4 rooted with CF-auto-root by chainfire, not a problem at all.

Do have TWRP 2.8.5.0 recovery flashed, supplied from the official CM12 thread.

My baseband/csc/whatever http://imgur.com/OUS3VNE

So whats the problem? I never ever really worried about baseband/csc/pda and whatever with my s3 mini, so i dont have a clue what they do.

What i do know is that i guess the baseband is important for my phone's network stuff? and if read correctly my stock 4.4.4 rom has some old baseband etc which could result in fast battery drainage and blahblahblah on android 5.x (CM12).

So a long story short, can i flash the official CM12 over the current setup i have? (old baseband/csc/etc) or do i have to update/flash newer ones first? (If so, supply link please :D )

god i feel so stupid for asking these kind of questions.. :eek:

[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] uktechguru:
I don't think you can as ROMs are made to work for specific android versions due to conflict issues.

They are custom made by developers. You will have to root you phone (and lose your warranty) and search for the custom rom that has this option. With some you can just as certain bits like the toggle menu. Others will change the whole ui.

[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] uktechguru:
PDA represents the build version and CSC is the country specific code, which means the country where the phone/software was built for.

Kernel will never say BOB or BOC. It will always be similar to what you have given. Kernel is the code that the phone's hardware uses to communicate with the software.

OTA update

On an unrooted phone I think the only possiblillity is to restore to fctory settings and next time don't install the OTA update.

Makae sure you backup everything first (apss, contacts and pics etc.... to a USB flashdrive or Micro SD crad.

Plenty apps for doing that in the playstore.

For a rooted ROM, you can just flash the stock firmware via ODIN.

If you need instructions for that just PM me.

CF Root, no stock recovery?

Hi there,

Thanks so much for the oppertunity :)

I have recently rooted my Note 4 CM-N901C, with Lollipop 5.0.1 using CF & Odin, many thanks BTW. I am not very experienced in root, but since I am unable to boot in recovery mode, the android robot just loops & I have to pull the battery to restart.

Any help appreciated, thanks for your time.

Cheers Martin :)
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] uktechguru:
Why can you not boot into recovery mode?

When your phone is turned off you need to press volume up+home+power and wait for the phone to buzz and it will boot into recovery.

You might have to flash a customer recovery like TWRP. If you go to play store and download an app called TWRP manager, the app will flash the custom recovery for you and then you'll have a recovery to boot into.

The app is here: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jmz.soft.twrpmanager
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] martinzx13:

I understand how to enter into recovery mode, but it does not work, it sort of hangs/loops, then I have to pull the battery to exit.

I am installing TWRP manager & Busybox, after all that it is asking me which version to install 2.8.1.0-1,2,3 or 2.8.3.0, 2.8.4.0 or 2.8.5.0

I do not know which I should choose, I do not want to brick it, please advise?

---------- Post added at 06:16 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:55 PM ----------

I chose the lates version, but the instal was unsucessful, Here is a screen shot, any thoughts?
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] uktechguru:
In these circumstances you'd have to try flashing the recovery manually using Odin. Just download the latest version from TWRP website to your laptop.

For Qualcomm note 4:

http://twrp.me/devices/samsunggalaxynote4qualcomm.html

For exynos note 4:

http://twrp.me/devices/samsunggalaxynote4exynos.html

Now put phone in download mode and flash the recovery zip in the PDA/ap box (second down on the right hand side). If this doesn't work and you don't get the green PASS then try again but uncheck auto reboot on the left side of the screen and try flashing again.

This link provides a step by step instruction on how to root, install custom recovery and custom ROMs. If you're still getting errors, you'll have to revert to the stock Samsung firmware and start again. Sometimes files can be corrupted when they're downloaded and causes problems. This isn't always the case but can happen sometimes.

[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Batfink33:
Well, "LTE" is just "4g" in the UK. Some of the international models of phones do not have the radio frequency bands of 4g in other countries. If you buy a Note 4 in the UK then it will run on 4g UK frequency bands.

Cyanogenmod Is a third party operating system (ROM) which is Android but generally stripped down and runs faster than the brand specific Android that you get with your phone. The brand specific Android you get with a phone has all sorts of software added (like s-health with Samsung) which slows it down a bit (you sometimes see this software called "bloat").

Android L (Lollipop) is the next version of Android (Android 5) .It is being released next month and the Note 4 (which runs KitKat Android 4.4 at the moment) should be updated by Samsung to Android Lollipop by the end of the year using the automatic "OTA"(over the air) feature of the phone.

To install third party operating systems (ROMs) like Cyanogenmod you have to unlock the bootloader of the phone through a PC. Unlocking the bootloader however trips the security feature of the Note which voids your warranty.

The ROM you get with the Note 4 is actually very good and has all sorts of good features added like multiwindows and the s-pen features.Unless you're a purest and like stripped back feature free Android then there's no reason really to install a different ROM on it.

International Version

I'm in the US. I've always just purchased my phone from my carrier (currently AT&T), and I haven't gotten a new phone since my Note 2 (2 years ago). I understand that AT&T now locks the bootloaders. From what I've read, my options are:

1) get a T-Mobile version and unlock it. However, I've read that it doesn't support all of the basebands that the AT&T version does and may not have as good of signal. Some people have said they do not notice a difference. I know that T-mobile has bad signal where I live.

2) get an international version. However, the ones I see on Amazon all say No LTE. Is this true of all international versions? If there are unlocked international versions that support LTE and all other bands that AT&T & other similar US carriers use? If so, can someone give me guidance on how to find them?

What would you say my best bet is if I want to be able to root and load custom ROMs, etc? I'm not 100% clear on how a locked bootloader will affect me. If it is likely that there will soon be a way around this (I'm not super concerned about a warranty) and I can replace with an unlocked bootloader, I'm fine with that. I just haven't been affected by this issue so far and don't know where to start. Some posts on here have been doom and gloom about the bootloader ever being unlocked for the US AT&T version, and I'm too ignorant on the subject to know what's what.

[B]Note 4 (noob) Needs to Help to Shut Off Incoming Call Readout[B]

Please, I need help! This is my first Note, I was a previous Galaxy S3 owner and never had this issue, and it is quite frustrating to me. I have created my personalized ringtones for specific contacts; however, when a said contact calls and their ringtone goes off it gets interrupted midway by an automated readout of their phone number. I really would rather the personalized ringtone to continue uninterrupted. I have gone to the phone settings and turned off the "voice commands" which is what I read would take care of the issue but the issue is still persistent.

[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] uktechguru:
I'm presuming the 910c is exynos? There's always going to be a difference if they have different processors. Your best bet would be to check on the exynos thread about lollipop battery.

To be honest, it is dependent on many factors such as apps running in background, screen on time, how much you use it etc. Difficult to show a complete comparison as one person will use the phone differently to the next person I.e. power user against light user.
