I got an Indian Note 4 ak N910G.

I presume this is okay for me to flash?
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Barracuda77777:
yes you can flash, it should work.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] jayesh:
Thanks.

Usual flash via odin and wipe cache/data applies?
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Barracuda77777:
flash and let it boot, if you experience any issues then do a factory reset.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] deli2011:
Possible to flash this on Singapore N910G ?
[Galaxy Note 4 General] bengosan:
Hi guys, what is the easiest way to update to 5.1.1? Im on my 910g rooted with twrp. Thanks!
[Galaxy Note 4 General] ravian29:
Guys country does not matter only see N910G which is model number, flash it on N910G and it should be fine
[Galaxy Note 4 General] senectus:
Though if you want ota updates from this point in and you have an Indian rom you will need to wipe everything
[Galaxy Note 4 General] GrippingSphere:
Download the Rom and then flash via PC Odin. It's available in Samfirmware website.

OTA update is also possible, you can try factory reset and un-root your phone to get OTA update if available on-air.

[Galaxy Note 4 General] Mussels84:
are people finding the multi tasking lag and eventual facebook lag resolved on this?
[Galaxy Note 4 General] krumbs:
Has anyone figured out how to root this?

Flashed it on an India Note 4 without issues. Feel it is snappier, but the real test will be when all apps have been reinstalled.

Edit - Tried the 910F kernel, and it worked! So:

Install ROM via Odin

Install TWRP via Odin

Install the permissive N910F kernel via TWRP.

That's it!
[Galaxy Note 4 General] bytchslappa:
Simple upgrade

I was on the Indian 5.0.1 ROM - flashed the generic AUS 5.1.1 ROM with odin - no factory resets and everything seems to be working fine - nice and fast - prolly will do a factory reset but dont see the point ATM...
[Galaxy Note 4 General] senectus:
Exactly the same path and results here
[Galaxy Note 4 General] aamirleo55:
Can you please tell me what is the procedure to ROOT after installing Stock 5.1.1 on N910G
[Galaxy Note 4 General] ravian29:
Please follow this

1. flash the rom using odin

2. flash twrp using odin

3. flash this kernel in twrp

4. flash superSu in twrp

you are rooted on 5.1.1
[Galaxy Note 4 General] senectus:
This will still irreversibly break knox won't it?
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Pitzbull:
Absolutely
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Mussels84:
right as samsungs 5.1.1 comes out (the day before, actually) i finally became a CM convert. i feel like i'm missing out.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] aamirleo55:
is it necessary to flash stock kernel provided by you ? can't we flash recovery and then supersu like as we did on 5.0.1 roms
[Galaxy Note 4 General] sandman997:
Can anyone please upload the unbranded Aussie 5.1.1 to mega, sammy is way 2 slow

---------- Post added at 05:02 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:46 PM ----------

Or a unbranded Aussie 5.0.1 firmware that I can do the OTA update
[Galaxy Note 4 General] tangcla:
If you had started the download last night from SamMobile when you wrote this post, you'd have it by now.

Just sayin'. :)
[Galaxy Note 4 General] sandman997:
I prefer Mega because Im having problems with my net and downloading from SamMobile takes ages, and Mega lets me save the file and it only takes about 1 hour to download
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Scully1981:
What benefit does the updated kernel have over the stock firmware? Is that just used to root the device?

I have followed your instructions but now I get a notification saying "Security notice" and "Unauthorised actions have been detected. Restart your device to undo any unauthorised changes."
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Mussels84:
he didnt mention a kernel in those instructions, unless im missing something.

load the superSU app and let it kill KNOX. should stop those messages.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Scully1981:
Isn't step 3 a new kernel?

Sorry, it's been a while since I've had to do this.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Mussels84:
not sure to be honest - i didnt see the post before that. many things can be flashed in TWRP, including roms, kernels, mods and root apps.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Scully1981:
Checked that my SuperSU was up to date, looks like it updated fine. I'm still getting those alerts though.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Mussels84:
manually delete the knox files with a root explorer? cant say which ones to delete however, this is one of the main reasons i use custom ROM's with samsung to avoid that crap.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Scully1981:
I went through steps 1-4 again, seems to have worked. No idea what the issue was unfortunately. 100% sure I followed the same procedure the first time around.

I flashed the stock unbranded Australian 5.1.1 ROM over the top of my stock Indian 5.0.1 ROM and seems to be working fine without a wipe. Just used Odin 3.10 without doing anything special.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] senectus:
Yeah I think the only real problem with doing it this way is we won't get ota updates unless with factory reset and partition wipe.

But having said this. .. it *is* a Telstra rom... its not like we're expecting a lot of timely updates.... :p

Just wondering how you guys are finding 5.1.1

Personally it's a dog on my phone. I have the Telstra software OTA, and have already done a Factory Reset, Cache Wipe, turned most services off and have done every other trick in the book and it is still only going about 5 hours on battery and mostly runs like a pig - especially typing!

Hence just interested to see how everyone else is coping with it, or if it would be beneficial to get the unbranded software and do a fresh install, or just wait for more international versions to pop up later?

Cheers,
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Mussels84:
5.1.1 is great... on cyanogen mod. i've finally given up on touchwiz. got sick to death of all the lag and crashing apps like facebook.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] senectus:
Ugh you use face book?!?
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Mussels84:
ugh, you use the XDA free mobile app?!?
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Koguchi9:
I'm on the xsa (telstra?) Rom and everything is fine. Used to be on the Indian 5.0.1 and was all good too. 5.1.1 has probably been slightly better in terms of battery usage but biggest was the multitasking lag is completely gone for me. Did the same as you flashed/wiped everything and started fresh. However I run it pretty lean with only a handful of apps. Could it be one of your apps causing the cpu usage/lag? Check the abnormal battery usage under battery option and see if anything is there.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] HuStLaZ:
I'm on the XSA (unbranded Australian) ROM.

MUCH better than 5.0.1. Really quick and no multitasking lag. Really surprised since I'm not a fan of Touchwiz at all. So far I really can't complain about it.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Koguchi9:
Yep my mistake, the xsa rom is unbranded :)
[Galaxy Note 4 General] senectus:
Haha funny you should mention that. Just installed the premium.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] julz:
Yep the multitasking lag seems to have been reduced significantly which was my biggest gripe with the previous version. Only time will tell if the lag comes back.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Mussels84:
i moved to CM to avoid that lag, so i'm curious to find out how you guys think of it long term. i recall everyone saying 5.0 ran great at first as well, with the lag slowly piling up.

also curious if it avoids the lag by simply quitting background apps, as i've heard of that happening with other Samsung 5.1 roms.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Koguchi9:
Yeah time will tell. 5.0.1 multitasking button always lagged for me right from the start.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Scully1981:
Worked! Not sure if it was related but Titanium didn't like writing to SD card. I used ES explorer to write a test txt file to the SD, Titanium started working again. I blame society.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Mussels84:
tony abbots fault, when he stopped the boats he stopped SD cards working as well.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] LightspeeDLee:
I just flashed the Aust. 5.1.1 from Sammobile over the Indian 5.0.1. So far, no lags at all, im sooo stocked :) Was about to throw the phone in the river on 5.0.1, as the minute i go to a second app and go back to first app, it reloads from scratch. Annoying as hell. On Kitkat, i could have 10 apps open at the same time and none will reload, all kept in the background waiting to open. Now on 5.1.1, it seams to be fixed, fingers crossed it stays this way.

So now the wait... Android M 6.0 before 2016? hehe

---------- Post added at 02:25 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:19 AM ----------

I Odin flashed the Aust. unbranded 5.1.1 over the Indian 5.0.1. Im loving it man. Fast, with no lags, & RAM management if great (so far... hehe). 5.0.1 was a nightmare & a few more weeks on it i was about to go back to Kitkat 4.4.4.

I'm surprised the Australian 5.1.1 is out before the Indian one, when the Indian 5.0.1 was out waaay before the Australian 5.0.1. Tho i'm not complaining.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] senectus:
I very much doubt that the note 4 will ever get official marshmallow
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Mussels84:
i feel the same. at least custom roms/CM/AOSP will keep our device alive, and they're catching up to TW in features.

I said I would run down the street in my Birthday suit if that happens....

---------- Post added at 10:00 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:51 AM ----------

Thanks, I've gotten it down a bit now by just trimming everything as much as I could and telling it to kill background apps in Developer Options, turning Haptic Feedback right down, etc, etc..

Every now and then it still has major lag, heats up and can hardly type, but then comes good again... Really strange!

I may try the unbranded firmware and see how that goes :)

Cheers
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Mussels84:
of course it will - one model somewhere in the world, and 6-12 month wait for our model to get one, buggy release before its discontinued.

[Galaxy Note 4 General] LightspeeDLee:
5.1.1 has been heaven for me, considering how 5.0.1 was...grrr

can i ask u guy's why u dont get AOSP? why no custon ROM's like CM12.1 / SOKP rom / CrDroid etc... ? Are u sticking to stock?

I know i want to but my phone's been running fine & i've set things up just the way i like it, dont want to factory reset all over again.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Koguchi9:
I used to do all the root/flash different roms etc when I first got into android with the dell streak then the note. But since the note 3 and 4 it's been fast enough to do everything I needed so don't really have the need for it I guess...
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Mussels84:
I did the same as koguchi, bouncing from ROM to ROM.

These days with the fragmented devices (910G, 910F, etc etc) there is a lot less choice so you tend to get just a few roms, maybe 1-2 stock and 1-2 AOSP/CM roms without heaps of themes and mods applied.

For me i moved to CM because TW 5.0.1 was a laggy beach, and because i actually got *less* bugs - at least this way i can replace the apps if i need to, instead of waiting 6-12 months in the hope samsung fixes things.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Koguchi9:
Yep....lack of choice has a large part of it...also probably android has matured so much. Eating up cool features custom roms offered so to speak.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Mussels84:
well, look at CM compared to stock android on the note 4.

Features supported: all the basics - call, text, mms, gps, BT.

then all the advanced features: S-pen(the only one via a paid app, rest are free/included) - video editing/trimming, drawing/editing on images in gallery, IR blaster, fingerprint sensor (coming with CM13 within 1-2 weeks).

quite literally the only thing behind in quality/features right now is the camera, in that you need two camera apps to meet touchwiz's one - in a rom 1/10th the size without any bloat on battery drain.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] LightspeeDLee:
That's it... i'm staying on stock. that is... until CM13 hehe
[Galaxy Note 4 General] isaacinsoll:
I've been. Using CM 12 on my 910G for months. I can't go back to stock with laggy multi tasking, volume warnings and general ugliness.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] jasopan:
How do you deal with the camera issues? Is the quality as bad as some have reported? I'm really close to switching over, but 5.1.1 has been great since flashing it yesterday.

BTW -- how can I root 5.1.1, does anybody know?
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Mussels84:
the modern CM has no camera issues.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] GrippingSphere:
http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=3216806
[Galaxy Note 4 General] jasopan:
What about the quality? I hear there is still bit of a gap.

But yeah thanks! I'll probably try it out when (hopefully not) 5.1.1 starts to lag
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Mussels84:
this has suffered the evils of facebook compression, but still oughta give you a decent comparison.

Hi guys - a Nooby here

Bought the wife a new Note 4 had it about 6 days then started to play up.

Bought it off an eBay shop - Aust Seller, item location Eastwood Aust

Item was/is (still) listed as a SM-N910GZWEXSA (so far 27 sold)

She received a LRX22C - N910FXXU1BOE2 (grey item?) model

No root

O/S 5.0.1 Official Binary/Status (as noted in bootloader - Odin Mode)

Have contacted Seller about warranty

Problem is like bootloop on secondary boot screen

can get into recovery mode - factory reset - no go >still looping

Interested in "[Rom][5.1.1][N910G]Nameless COH4 *Stock *Deodexed *PreRooted"

(http://xdaforums.com/note-4/snapdragon-dev/rom-n910gdtu1coh4-stock-deodexed-t3216953)

Have read all posts in this thread but still not sure if I can flash this rom to this model phone.

Can't post in that thread cause I'm a Nooby

Appreciate any advise/help :)

TY
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Mussels84:
your own information says you were sold a 910F instead of a G, i'd be returning it as its not the model you paid for.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] senectus:
Or load a firmware meant for the F
[Galaxy Note 4 General] WifesNote:
I have no problem receiving the F model. Even if they had sent the G, I would still have been interested in flashing a de-bloated, pre-rooted 5.0.1 or 5.1.1 rom :)

---------- Post added at 06:33 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:17 PM ----------

I could reflash official 5.0.1 firmware or flash other firmware for N910F XXU1BOE2 (France I think), hopefully that would stop the bootloop, unless hardware failure of course.

I am interested in [Rom][5.1.1][N910G]Nameless COH4 *Stock *Deodexed *PreRooted because it is for Aus, but still not sure if I can flash this rom to this F model phone. :)
[Galaxy Note 4 General] halon:
Just flash a N910F original 5.1.1 firmware (this will update the bootloader which is most likely causing the boot loop)

Then flash any N910F 5.1.1 custom rom.

Or just find the N910F bootloader and flash it via odin.

I had the same problem when going from 5.0 to 5.1.1 on the N910G
[Galaxy Note 4 General] WifesNote:
Thanks for this suggestion, depending on the reply from the Seller, I'll chase an original F 5.1.1 firmware 1st thru Samsung Live UpDates and try that.

Q1: Any F firmware or only firmware specific for N910FXXU1BOE2?

Q2: If you know... can I flash "[Rom][5.1.1][N910G]Nameless COH4 *Stock *Deodexed *PreRooted" to this F model phone?
[Galaxy Note 4 General] senectus:
N910F / N910G is the model of phone

The rest is just code for the region /Telco and firmware build numbers.

You have a N910F you may *only* load N910F firmware on it.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Mussels84:
F and G are not the same, and are not compatible with each others firmwares.

Back when CM for the 910G called it a 910F i had all sorts of fun due to things like youtube not working due to that model not being sold in this region.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] cheryanne:
I have a 910G and am running the latest Nameless Rom & Kernel which turns my phone into a 910F as it's a G/F Rom.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Mussels84:
you can change that in build.prop, its merely a cosmetic thing in your case. try running 1080p 60FPS youtube videos, see if you had the same problems i did.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] WifesNote:
Sorry for the late reply, but have been trying different roms since my last post to get out of the bootloop.

I've tried a couple of different official N910F 5.0.1 roms and a G rom (G comes up with error (not compatible as Mussels84 noted).

Last flash is the international version 5.0.1 for the F, but still bootlooping.

Maybe I'm not flashing the roms right. Have tried Odin v1.87 and Odin v3.10.7 for flashing.

The steps I am taking to flash are ...

Boot into recovery mode >wipe data/factory reset >reboot >then flash the rom.

Is this what is called a "clean install" (I'm still learning)

I do appreciate any assistance. :)
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Mussels84:
factory reset after flashing the new ROM, this is especially important when going from custom back to stock roms.

make sure you're 'cold booting' into the download mode and not rebooting into it for stock roms and/or modems, as modems and bootloaders will not flash from a warm boot (which is why people often recomend flashing the stock roms more than once, to ensure they flash)
[Galaxy Note 4 General] WifesNote:
I have also tried factory reset after flashing as well (forgot to mention that) - still bootloops on secondary screen after "chimes" and I also take the battery out before straight into recovery mode.

I will try double flash international version 5.0.1

I can't find an international version 5.1.1, any suggestions which 5.1.1 to try?

Thanks heaps :)
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Mussels84:
flash whatever for the 910F, it really doesnt matter. as long as you get a stock rom and flash it with ODIN, it should be bulletproof.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] stephendt0:
I just got my hands on a Note 4, pretty awesome device. I'm switching from a Zenfone 2, and I've found that LTE signal is really weak where I am on my Note. I'm pretty sure I only have 700mhz B28 in my area, but my Note 4 can only hold onto 0-1 bars of LTE (and often drop back to 3G) whilst my Zenfone has no trouble holding 3-4 (full) bars of 4G. Is this normal? I looked at the raw numbers and I was getting -93 on the Zenfone and -107 on the Note 4. On Optus, using latest stock unbranded 5.1.1 Australian ROM. Just want to make sure there's nothing wrong with my device since I'm itching to root and install CM.

Edit: I worked it out - seems like the case I had on it at the time was killing the signal. Additionally, touchwiz has a different metric for showing how much LTE signal there is. All OK and running happily on CM now :)
[Galaxy Note 4 General] WifesNote:
Apologies for the late reply, been flashing, reflashing with different versions of Odin to see if that makes any difference - it does not - still bootloops.

I'm biting the bullet and sending it back on warranty - that's if I have not voided it. Re-flashed original F/W to that when I received the phone.

Another question, when I tried to flash 2 custom roms, they both gave "Footer is wrong" and "Verification fail" error messages, do you know what this signifies? :)

TY

Edit: Apologies also, if I have not used the "Thanks Box" properly
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Mussels84:
not from those errors alone, no. it does sound like you may have been flashing the wrong software on the phone, a 910F requires 910F recovery, bootloader, modems, roms, etc - there is very, very small overlap between F and G models.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] WifesNote:
Thanks for your reply, as you have been the main responder to me about my problem, you may (or may not) be interested in a more detailed account of what I have done trying to resolve my problem with this phone. I have a thread about this on SamMobile ...

3. Pull battery.

4. Loaded SD card with Emotion kernel zip >then boot to custom recovery

Getting the same error message >try to resolve again >same error message.

Would someone please advise what I’m missing or doing wrong.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] GrippingSphere:
Try flashing official stock rom via odin with option nand erase all. Use the latest odin version. If there are important files from your internal sd card, copy them first to the external sd card because this will erase everything from the internal sd card.

After flashing go to recovery and wipe data and cache.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] WifesNote:
Unfortunately did not work.

After wipe cache and wipe data/reset - that's the order I did it in (or is there any diff if I wipe data/reset 1st then cache?)

On normal boot > Samsung splash screen >Samsung boot screen > stays on that screen now (no bootloop)

Any other thoughts ? TY

[Galaxy Note 4 General] Barracuda77777:
after you flash, and reboot, do you see a green robot? then phone reboots again?
