[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NooBDroidPlayer:
Hi, I'm from Malaysia.

I got a Galaxy Note 4 SM-N910G (SinTel) when I was in Singapore.

Its on Lollipop 5.0.1 since then.

Recently I updated to MM 6.0.1, which eventually skipped the 5.1.1 update.

After that, there is lots of issues in MM 6.0.1 : laggy when wake up, force restart, apps stuck, fingerprint not usable.......etc.

For these, i wish to roll back to Lollipop 5.1.1.

I have run trough the forum for guidance.

After compiling, I get the steps to do it accordingly like below :

1. Download the respective stock rom, for me is 2016-08-17	Singapore (SingTel) 5.1.1 N910GDTU1COL2	N910GOLB1COL3

2. Download Odin, too many version, I choose Odin3_v3.10.7

3. Download Kies and install, for using the USB driver for Samsung mobile devices.

4. Backup my contacts, picture, audio, video. For apps, I choose not to backup, cause most of them are not important, like mx player, book reading apps, games that require online account.

5. Charge the phone to 80% ++ battery.

6. Enable USB Debugging Mode on my Note 4 by navigate to Settings > Developer Options > check the USB Debugging option.

7. Power off the phone and remove my sim card and micro sd.

6. Boot in to recovery (pressing and holding Volume Up + Home + Power buttons altogether) and do factory wipe/factory reset + wipe cahce.

7. Power off in recovery.

8. Boot in to download mode (pressing and holding Home + Power + Volume Down buttons at the same time, then Volume Up to continue).

9. Start up Odin.

10. Connect phone to pc via USB (If the drivers are installed correctly then the ID: COM box will turn light blue and “Added” message will be appear in Odin after phone is connected successfully).

11. In Odin, click on the AP button and navigate to the firmware/rom file that I've already extracted.

12. Ensure that you’ve checked Auto Reboot and F.Reset Time options and the Re-Partition option must be unchecked.

13. Click start.

14. Wait for it to restart, and unplug the phone when it show done.

15. After fully restart, boot in to recovery and do another factory reset.

Up till here, am I missing something of the step are in proper way?

Do point out if there is any mistake.

I once have a note 2, and the steps to downgrade is much easier.

Since I'm not planning to change new phone, due to so many bombing case for note 7, I'll stick with note 4.

I also found out that some of the threads saying that once you update to MM 6.0.1, you can't roll back to LL 5.1.1, but some say can.

I'm a little confuse with this.

6.0.1 to 5.1.1 possible?

6.0.1 to 5.0.1 possible?

5.1.1 to 5.0.1 possible?

Finally thanks for anyone who can answers my noobly questions
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] figo_yjm:
If I were you, stay in 6.0.1 don't try to go back as there might be bootloader issues. Save time and effort and just boot into recovery, wipe data/factory reset, that should do the trick. Always backup your important data before.

Ota updates and dirty installs of the system can cause many bugs and lag, so refreshing the device with a factory reset is enough.

Before you waste time restoring your data, check again for any other update, if that was it, then being restoring your data.

Cheers
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NooBDroidPlayer:
1st, thanks for the helping hand, but sadly, I have did a downgrade to 5.1.1, here's the out comes:

At first, I called local Samsung center regarding the issue for the MM 6.0.1 update, they told to use the Smart Switch program which can be download through sammobile.com.

Then using the so call recovery to do a reinstall of the firmware and to optimize it. I did according to the tutorial on the homepage. But sad result cane out as my phone won't start up after the reinstallation. It sticks to a black screen after the adroid robot came out, tough it might be on sleep state, but try pressing all the button still no sign of light up, then try pull out the battery, and boot into recovery to do a factory reset, which luckily I can, but after the reset and try to reboot the phone, same thing happen, this is where I starting to get worry and give the downgrade a shot.

At the time of flash the 5.1.1 stcok from for my phone, I did some mistake, at first I use odin 3.10.7, which result to a faulty installation, cause black screen issue same like above, then I chose to use the suggesting odin 3.11.7 from sammobile.com, where I downloaded the stock rom, finally it done and in good shape.

Actually I wanted to go back to 5.0.1, as before the update to 6.0.1, but when selecting for the rom, I think that: why not I give the 5.1.1 a shot? It's still lollipop, everything should be fine.

After a few hours of using this 5.1.1, I found that it's having the same problem like 6.0.1, just that like 10% against 80%, firgerprint got to work, most of the apps is working fine, but got a bit of hang when 1st time using of the app. Got a bit auto restart, and the battery factor app is showing 100+ app is draining the battery. SHOCKING!!!

Should I take another trip to downgrade back to 5.0.1?

Or should I go back to 6.0.1 and do a factory wipe + cache partition wipe before using the phone?

And may I know what is that bootloader issue you speak of?

Thanks in advance.

Can someone tell me please which is the generally accepted AOSP ROM for Note 4 ? The stock 6.0.1 is working fine but i kinda got bored of it.

Also, i cannot find the official Cyanogenmod (13?) ROM thread. Can someone post the link please ?

I am not able to upgrade my note 4 to marshmallow.
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] imeem:
Which method did u try, OTA, smart switch, or Odin?
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sknepal:
Tried through OTA.

Marshmallow update is available...which is more than 1.5gb. I downloaded it but it says error in recovery mode...
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] imeem:
​

Try upgrading it with smart switch/ kies. If that doesn't work, factory reset and try updating again. If that still doesn't work, then u need to use Odin to upgrade.
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] figo_yjm:
That's weird, as far as I know, downgrading is not good as there can be compatibility issues between the bootloader, the rom and the baseband.

If I where you, I would follow the next steps, and quit experiments:

1- Download the latest rom

2- Download latest Odin

3- Download and install latest Samsung USB drivers

4- Turn off the phone

5- Boot in recovery ( home + volume up+ power) mode and Wipe Data/factory reset

6- Turn your device off and boot in download mode (home + volume up+ power)

7- Go to the Pc and press the right button on odin.exe and run as administrator

8- Plug your device and load the rom in the AP option. Don't touch anything else

9- Click start and wait until it's done.

After the device reboots by itself and loads the system, you're good to go. If if you want more "cleaning", factory reset again after this process.

Cheers!
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] imeem:
I thought the factory image should contain everything like baseband, rom, bootloader, etc...? if so, downgrade shouldn't hurt if it contains everything. Downgrading will be a issue if samsung explicitly blocks it. The latest updates does not always mean it is the best update based on my experince
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] figo_yjm:
In this case, updates are quite good, but suite yourself, do what you please.

I have a developer edition sm-n910v baseband version n910voyu1anj5 still on kitkat 4.4.4! (I can't find my baseband version anywhere but i rooted thru xda directions originally) that i would like to revert to stock & unroot because i'm having battery issues or upgrade to marshmallow or just do something to it so it works right without the batteries going from 80% to 0% in 3 seconds then charging back up to 72% when i plug it in for about 5 seconds & I'm sad about my loss of my note7. I have 3 samsung batteries so i think it's the phone & not the batteries. If i go back to stock & unroot maybe they will replace the phone or maybe it will just work right if I do this. Will this work for me? I rooted this so long ago & I just remember the developer edition was different from the retail so you could or couldn't do certain things with it. I have twrp. I don't know which firmware to use because they all say different versions than mine here http://xdaforums.com/note...overy-t2942937 Can someone point me in the right direction please??

I'm actually in a similar situation. I've got the developer edition of the phone for Verizon, and I'm having other issues with the software on the phone, but I've been stuck on kitkat 4.4 since I originally rooted it. I'd like to update to Marshmallow, but I don't know what versions of anything to use. Nothing ever says N910V, so I'm always unsure if it will work with my phone. I managed to upgrade to the latest version of TWRP, but I don't know where to go from here. I'm rooted, my bootloader is unlocked, and I really just want an unbloated ROM like this one: http://xdaforums.com/note-4/snapdragon-dev/rom-n910f-stock-odexed-bloated-rom-v1-t3216390/page103

Invalid SIM

Greetings, I have a Sprint Note 4, running Marshmallow, with service from Access Wireless. A few minutes after power on or reboot I get an error saying "the network did not respond in time. The SIM card has locked. Please power cycle the device and if the problem persists contact Customer Service". I was first using the SIM card I was previously using in a Galaxy S4, in which I never received any errors, and then I went to Sprint and they entered the IMEI and got me a SIM card based on it. The error persisted and Sprint dude didn't know what to do I contacted Access Wireless and they were no help. Can anyone tell me who should be the ones to fix this - Access or Sprint - and what I should tell them to do? Or if there is a fix I can do on my own? I am prepaid and I have to buy data when I want it and due to the SIM it will only do 3G. The phone works flawlessly otherwise. Thank you for your time.

Hello, i have a few questions regarding firmware versions:

1) If i have the Snapdragon version, can i switch between the ROMs made for Snapdragon freely or am i limited for example to N910P ROMs if i have the sprint version?

2) The LTE bands available in any given ROM version are determined by the ROM's software or by the phone hardware?

3) I have the sprint version of the phone, can i change in any way the LTE bands it works on, or add to them?

[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RoleX1:
Hi guys, I have a serious problem with my Note 4, it is stuck in a constant loop-reboot, but this isn't due to the battery that all the YouTube videos are complaining about, A: because I have multiple good batteries, and B: because unlike them, plugging in a charger does not solve the problem for me.

The power button should not be an issue either, because the device does not switch itself on as soon as I put the battery in.

I really don't know what to do, I put the device away in perfect working condition before going on holiday, but I came back, did the latest update, and since then its in this loop-reboot.

The biggest issue is that I tried to encrypt the SD card just to see how much it affects speed in day to day use. However, my SD card is 200gb (almost full), all that data and life-memories I might stand to lose. If I could just get the device to work long enough to reverse the encryption then I would happily throw the Note 4 into the bin!

Can someone more knowledgeable please show me the way to fixing this.

Things I've tried:

General reboots

Clearing the catch from the recovery boot menu, (only reason I have not factory reset from the boot menu is because I may lose all the data on my encrypted SD)

Please Help, I don't know where else to turn to.

Hello all.

I have a Galaxy Note 4 that has been running deathly slow.

I have tried reinstalling the stock ROM and done factory data resets but to no avail.

I started researching the installation of Cyanogenmod as I had it on my Samsung Galaxy S2 ages ago but it has been so hard.

I followed a guide on XDA Developers and tried installing a new recovery using Heimdall Suite but it didn't work so I followed the guides instructions and tried to compile my own copy of Heimdall Suite but that didn't work.

Now all I have, it seems, is the download mode so I tried flash a stock ROM again but it said the memory wasn't partitioned which is strange because i thought if that happened then the phone brick when next lose power but that hadn't happened.

I am at wit's end.

Can you recommend any threads to help me?

I tried using and when the phone was in download mode but it couldn't see the device and I personally installed the Samsung USB drivers. Odin could see the phone. Why couldn't add?

Multi window Side bar is broken

Hi All, and my apologies if this has been answered previously, I tried seaching and kept searching for 3 days and 3 nights straight, but no answer.

Okay, I'm using SM-N910G, with Stock MM, rooted and Xposed installed.

I rooted mainly to change the DPI as such a big nice screen deserves to hold more real estate than Samsung planned.

Problem is, after changing DPI, the Side bar that pops-up for the multi-window mode is all weird.

Instead of having the icons on a white background bar, the icons are now obscured by the background bar being on top of the icons.

you cannot click on the icons, dragging on the bar will scroll, but useless.

I have tried resetting the com.sec.android.app.flashbarservice in Xposed > AppSettings to various values to no effect.
