Thanks. Is it safe?

And can I replace the Kingroot app with SuperSU and then remove all the Kingroot stuff afterwards?
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Barracuda77777:
to be honest, I did not try it myself as I am on cm12 and already tripped Knox, from what I read you won't be able to, they install their own superuser, and since it's closed source it's hard to find out what they are up to, I would wait until someone sniff out the packets to see if it's sending anything out. by the way, I have done warranties on two occasions with Knox tripped, Samsung staff did not care less.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] tangcla:
I still don't fully understand, what purpose does Knox offer?
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Barracuda77777:
on an unrooted phone, you could use your phone to make credit card payment if your bank supports it, as soon as you root, that won't work anymore neither would fingerprint authentication. although if you unroot, even if you tripped Knox, credit card payment and fingerprint authentication will start working again.

Samsung at their descrection can deny you warranty if you trip Knox, it depends where you take your phone for service.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] senectus:
Use kingroot at your risk. Do some searches in the XDA forums.

Personally I would not risk it. There are plenty of brick stories.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Mussels84:
I've used it several times myself without issue, but i always have a stock ODIN image available to fix any soft bricks it may cause. That said, i really prefer to install a pre-rooted custom ROM than root stock.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] tangcla:
I'm going to see if I can survive without root for now :) the main thing I use root for is Titanium Backup, and Servicely/Greenify.

Does anyone use the Westpac NFC tap and pay feature, AND have a custom ROM?
[Galaxy Note 4 General] senectus:
I'm pretty sure that it won't work on a rooted device.

I've never seen a custom Rom without root :p
[Galaxy Note 4 General] tangcla:
It does work on a rooted device but fingerprint and PIN login doesn't work.

Did anyone just get an email today saying that Samsung is shutting down its Samsung Wallet service?? Sucks as I liked having my shopping loyalty cards on my phone (although I never used it :))

So the n910U is no go on optus? I thought it looked the pic of the bunch? Glad i held off then
[Galaxy Note 4 General] draginslygj:
I've got both N910G and N910U. The u variant works fine. Just won't use the 2300mhz band. Speed difference is hardly noticeable as our network speed never reach close to 150mbps. It's all down to preference. N910G is cheaper atm.

Sent from my SM-N910U
[Galaxy Note 4 General] rickadlee:
I work for a financial institution in the digital space. We have a NFC tap & pay app and it will specifically not work with rooted devices.

This will generally be the case for most if not all of them.

Having said that, a colleague was at least able to get the app to load and register his card with the app on a rooted note 3. He was able to do this by denying root access to the app when super user prompted for it.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] tangcla:
I'm telling you, it works on a rooted device. I've been using Westpac Tap & Pay on my rooted Galaxy S5 and now my rooted Note 4. No need to deny root access at all.

The fingerprint and PIN login options are disabled on the rooted devices though.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] rickadlee:
Westpac works through the Samsung wallet though? Ours is a separate app on the Play Store. I can't vouch for everyone, but that is generally the way it works. Not 100% sure with the comm bank app?
[Galaxy Note 4 General] tangcla:
Not through the Samsung Wallet app, but via the Westpac Banking app. Samsung Wallet does require a non-rooted phone (but Samsung Wallet is dead soon anyway).

I think Commbank Netbank app works on a rooted phone too.

Perfectly safe Optus model SM-N910G but it will trip Knox

Use CF-autoroot, but you will trip Knox 0x1. It's safe and easy to use.

Singapore ROM

Tried to install the latest Singapore ROM from Sammobile on my Australian Note 4 but unable to do so using Odin. Shows an error. Anyone else tried this?
[Galaxy Note 4 General] senectus:
Would be helpful if you listed the error....
[Galaxy Note 4 General] markymarkis:
Use India rom
[Galaxy Note 4 General] sruday:
You get a red 'Fail' at the end of the Odin process. Normally you get a green 'Pass'.

I am currently on the India ROM.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] GrippingSphere:
Check if "Reactivation Lock" is enabled in Security Settings. It should be unticked.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] jayden485:
Is there anyway to get the Knox back to 0? I remember there was ways with the S3.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] jayden485:
Whoops, I just updated to lollipop on mine, and cf auto root says I need 4.4.4
[Galaxy Note 4 General] madshabz:
The error you get on Odin is "Fail(EXT)" and the error msg on the Note 4 screen says: "invalid ext4 image"
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Barracuda77777:
flash TWRP tar with Odin , then flash a supersu.zip from TWRP recovery.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] jayden485:
Did you do it when you were on lollipop or when you were on kitkat?
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Barracuda77777:
it doesn't matter, same way works on kitkat and lollipop. just make sure you flash the right TWRP for the G model which I assume you have.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] poczynek:
You can use the 910f custom roms - example Xnote which is great - you just need to use the AEL custom kernel.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Ausboy 2011:
Maybe samsung won't but devs cannot do much without samsung updating kernel/bl to 64 bit have to wait and see
[Galaxy Note 4 General] ewok666:
What NON Australian Samsung ROM can I flash into an Australian N910G? I tried Singapore but it complains about the partition size (system, I assume). I downloaded India and Sri Lanka as there is not much selection but they too have different sizes for the system partition. BTW, big thanks for the i*d*ots at Samsung for making 400 different models!
[Galaxy Note 4 General] poczynek:
I've tried the Indian firmware and it works OK. There's custom roms like Dr Ketan rom.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] nathsgames:
Is that the XXU1ANJ4 Indian firmware? My Aus firmware lags like crazy, is 1ANJ3. Thanks.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] poczynek:
Yes. But if you want the ANJ4 might just be easier to flash the Dr Ketan custom rom which has that as its base.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] ewok666:
Thanks. Was that a straight flash with ODIN? Did you have to re-partition?
[Galaxy Note 4 General] poczynek:
Yes straight flash with Odin. Firmware from sammobile. No repartition. Didn't even wipe!
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Danthemanz:
Ive had my Telstra Note 4 for two days now and i thought id post my experience as the whole situation with the different models is quite confusing.

It is indeed the 910G Qualcomm model, regardless of what ive read.

I used the CF-auto root method and root was successful.

I then used odin to flash TWRP for 910G which was also successful.

Originally i flash recovery first and tried flashing SuperSU from recovery but it wouldnt work properly.

I backed up my EFS partition using the tool and made a backup onto my PC.

I then tested Ktoonsez kernel on the stock firmware and it worked successfully.

I then wiped data and system and flashed Dr Keten's Nj4 qualcomm build. It wouldnt boot, just reboots after the samsung splash screen.

I then flashed Ktoonsez kernel again over the top and it booted ok!

Im now up and running with Dr Keten's modified rom, Ktoonsez's kernel as well as Xposed framwork, all working successfully!

The kernel is far from complete, no new governors and even the stock one is giving me some strange issues when i open the governor properties, so im keeping it stock for the time being.

I did up the minimum GPU clock in hope it would help with the smoothness, but im not sure its made a difference.

All in all its working well. Not quite the smooth experience ive had for the last month on the Nexus 5 with Lollipop, but hopefully that will come with the lollipop update and more work on the kernels.

Great phone. My far the best build quality of any Samsung and the screen is fantastic!
[Galaxy Note 4 General] ravian29:
Does it have same knox counter? Like note 3. Telstra accepts warranty if counter is 1 ?

Sent from my SM-N9005
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Danthemanz:
Edit. Totally misread . Yes Knox was tripped of course.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] ravian29:
No mate knox counter is different than odin counter. Knox counter trick once when we root and yet there is no way to revert it back to zero, it voids warranty but not sure about telstra if they accept claim or not

Sent from my SM-N9005
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Danthemanz:
Oh yeah, sorry i totally miss read. Of course i tripped it, why wouldnt it have.

Didn't buy the phone to run it stock.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Barkermania:
I got the Telstra Note 4, Rooted it all fine. But a little confused at which recovery to use. Do you guys use the Indian version as its the same model number?

Thanks
[Galaxy Note 4 General] jasenko:
I also just joined the club. So far I am loving it. Coming from HTC Sense and still finding my way around Touchwiz. It is a lot more polished than I remember it.

I will probably way to see what happens in the development before jumping in and customise it. Plenty to keep myself interested the way it is now.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Danthemanz:
Yep, the Indian version.

Go here, scroll down to Odin and click the Indian version, worked great for me.

I had to use the CF-auto root first as superSU zip flash didnt work and CF-auto root overwrites the recovery with stock.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] rickydenim:
Anyone here get theirs from Optus and get the new update? My wife bought outright from the Samsung store and got it a few days back. Still nothing for me :(
[Galaxy Note 4 General] paul118:

[Galaxy Note 4 General] daisun:
Hi guys, just wondering whats a suitable stock rom for our Aussie note 4s?

As we all know the Aus firmware has auto-rotate disabled in the Gallery app (and share to gmail), has anyone found a suitable rom to use?

So far I've tried flashing, via odin, the stock Singapore one which fails because the hidden partition is of a different size.

What is everyone else using?
[Galaxy Note 4 General] srikat:
Have you tried QuickPic?

I just got the phone yesterday. Want to stay factory stock for some time.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] jayden485:
Alright thanks, the only thing I'm worried about is tripping the knox counter, is there anyway to change the knox counter back to 0?
[Galaxy Note 4 General] DaveLTE:
Not at this stage
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Barracuda77777:
nope, once you trip it it's tripped forever.

[Galaxy Note 4 General] Koguchi9:
I think the Indian BOD2 is still the latest.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Mussels84:
BOE1 is the latest.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Pitzbull:
Downloading BOE1 tonight will install tomorrow arvo and see how it goes.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Mussels84:
i'm running Dr.Ketans L4 rom based on BOE1, and its working great. all the places it used to lag during initial setup are gone, and people are reporting much better idle battery life.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] tangcla:
Has the bootloader and modem changed in BOE?
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Mussels84:
well... yes, they're going to change with every build.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] tangcla:
Not necessarily. Bootloader and modem may not change; kernel most likely does though.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Mussels84:
bootloader, modems and base must match on all lollipop roms.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] tangcla:
They only need to match if they're Lollipop or Kitkat specific. Otherwise you wouldn't have custom ROMs that are zip flashable, most of those don't require a baseband upgrade.

Example - on my G900I, BOD3 firmware still had BOA1 baseband and modem.

If you have Phone Info by Vinh Nguyen installed, can you please check what the versions are? Probably the easiest way to determine. [emoji14]
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Mussels84:
note 4 is not the same as the S5. on the note 4 with lollipop, the rom base *MUST* match the bootloader and modems it shipped with. This has changed since kitkat, and over time i expect the same restriction will apply to other devices as well.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Pitzbull:
Cannot install the latest firmware from Singapore on my note4 as it continually fails. Forced to go back to previous Indian Firmware.

[Galaxy Note 4 General] tangcla:
If you don't mind tripping Knox, flash a deodexed version of the stock ROM so you can get Xposed Framework on it.

Follow this guide and you'll get great idle battery life.

Shame as soon as the screen is on, the battery drains so quick...
[Galaxy Note 4 General] wintermute000:
Hi tangcla

I'm going to flog this phone in a few weeks anyway so not interested in tripping knox at this stage. So i guess I'll just live with it.

Turning off location services seems to help, though its a PITA to have to manually toggle it for maps, uber etc.

If I don't flog it (i.e. work phone doesn't come through ) then I guess I'll bite the bullet, its very strange having a non-rooted 100% stock droid! LOL
[Galaxy Note 4 General] tangcla:
I don't think having a tripped phone will make much of a difference when it comes time to sell.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] oblivianz:
For those of you running Dr. Ketans Indian rom, are you running the Indian modem as well or Australian?
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Mussels84:
you must match the one the ROM is made from.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] oblivianz:
Ah. I was constantly getting poor signal from the Indian modem. Was hoping I could change it to Australian as a solution
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Mussels84:
it updates with every new version of the ROM, so that may change over time.

long story short, the new lollipop roms are fussy and the modems and bootloader have to match the base. you might be able to change country if the two countries have similar builds at the time.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] jakiman:
Just reporting in. I have a N910G bought from The Good Guys.

Currently using Stock Deodexed BOF1 by Er Aditya and it's working perfectly. (cwm+root+xposed)

Its all changed for the worse imho. On the Note II it was easy and there were a bunch of great ROMs to choose from. Now its F / T / P / G - Modems and so on. What a mess. Love the Note series but my next device won't be a Note, and won't be Samsung branded either. They can keep their ****ty updates and 6 month turn around on hardware - I'm done.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Mussels84:
I'll be choosing phones based on the custom ROM support, the region locking is annoying the hell out of me too.

[Galaxy Note 4 General] jakiman:
Nah. I don't use any NFC card payments.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] tangcla:
I started with XSA, then flashed the nameless BOF1 stock over the top - I can still see the NFC Embedded Secure Element option, and I seem to be able to select my card in Westpac for tap & pay, but it doesn't seem to register on the Paypass terminal (tells me to present one card only).

Need to make more purchases so I can test it out... hehe

Hi all. Upgraded from rooted Galaxy S5 to Note 4. Any probs flashing via Odin on 5.0.1? Have CF-Auto ready to go. I have MobileOdin. Do all initial roots go thru Odin PC?

Advance thx for clarifications..
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Mussels84:
custom recovery must be done via odin, root can be done via custom recovery.

CF-auto root will work fine, just be sure you're flashing the right one. people have had issues flashing for the wrong model of note 4.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Bert8501:
Hi all

This week I got a new Galaxy Note 4 (SM-N910G) from Telstra. The first thing that I did was flash the XSA Lollipop ROM from Sammobile (sammobile.com/firmwares/download/46101/N910GDTU1BOC5_N910GXSA1BOC5_XSA/).

Since flashing this ROM, I have been having problems with poor reception, call dropouts and the dialer app has been randomly crashing / freezing (below is a screenshot of my AP, CP & CSC)...

Anyone know what I have done wrong???
[Galaxy Note 4 General] tangcla:
Hi, try the TEL ROM as it's BOE version (newer). I used BOE and flashes BOF1 app, framework and priv-app folders + bootloader/modem to get me a hybrid ROM with the latest binaries but still have NFC tap and pay. :)

Can someone please confirm which variant of the Google Play Services our phone uses? Is it -430?
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Meltyourface:
Hey Guys...Im kinda a Noob at Flashing stuff and Roms etc... :eek:

I just recently Rooted my Note 4 (Model SM-N910G/BaseBand N910GDTU1BOC5) using CF-Autoroot and once I did that I downloaded Root Checker and apparently eveything worked out fine.

I would like to setup TWRP onto my phone, what is the best way of doing this with my particular model as I tried it based on a video I saw on youtube with a user that had the same model as myself, when I went to hold the 3 buttons it should a little robot thing installing something, then came to another screen which had a few choices and at the botton it says dm-verify verification failed...

So I have probably done something wrong lol :silly: ... I actually purchased the phone from Samsung at Melbourne Central if that helps.

Any Ideas?
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Mussels84:
there are two three button combos.

power+home+volume up = recovery. With a stock phone its stock recovery, you need to use download mode + ODIN to get a custom recovery for custom roms.

Power+home+volume down (and them vol up to continue) is download mode, which ODIN can use to flash custom recoveries like TWRP to your phone.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Meltyourface:
Problem Solved :) I have flashed TWRP to my phone

Has anyone done a BOH2 / BOE2 hybrid firmware zip file (BOE2 TEL/XSA base but with BOH2 system apks)? Saves me from downloading, flashing, extracting and deodexing if so.
