Ok thanks guys ?
[Galaxy Note 4 General] sandman997:
hey i was wondering if someone could send me a mega link to the Aussie unbranded 4.4.4 i tried sammy but its going really slow
[Galaxy Note 4 General] sandman997:
I'm with Vodafone and on weekends I have unlimited data but since I installed the Indian 5.0.1 it works for 2 mins and then I get a msg saying I have insufficient funds

---------- Post added at 10:50 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:33 PM ----------

I think it won't work because my CSC has changed to the Indian one, how do I change it back

ok so im going to install the Vodafone 4.4.4 again to restore my csc, is there anyway of installing the indian update but keeping my csc
[Galaxy Note 4 General] GrippingSphere:
If you like you can try the attached XSA(unbranded) CSC. I flashed the Telstra CSC (I'm on Telstra) after flashing the Indian 5.01 Lollipop Rom. Working good. But I'm not sure if you have to be rooted to flash this CSC. My phone is rooted so there's no problem for me.

[Galaxy Note 4 General] sandman997:
on 5.0.1 i was rooted but i went back to stock vodafone firmware to get my csc back, ill try flash 5.0.1 again and ill try flash the csc, but im not sure how to flash csc

the free data weekend promotion only works in australia so i guess when it changed my csc it stopped working

the link u sent me says "just flash in TWRP but make sure system partition mounted in Mount section before flash." how do i mount system in twrp

TRIED IT AND IT WORKED THANKS
[Galaxy Note 4 General] julz:
I'm on the verge of installing the Indian 5.0.1 on my Vodafone Note 4. But because I don't want to void my warranty, I'm hesitant on flashing it. My battery life sucks at the moment at around 10-11hrs per day and the Samsung Melbourne store said it could be a hardware fault after testing the battery to be fine. I didn't want to leave my phone with them to test it as I need a phone. But if Lollipop fixes the battery problem then i'll be happy :)
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Barracuda77777:
If you flash the official Indian Samsung file through Odin you will not trip Knox, make sure you download Australian kitkat just in case, make sure you do a factory reset after flashing, that way if you still have a sucky battery life you can then reflash AUS kitkat to take back for warranty.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] julz:
Thanks mate - flashed it with the Indian rom and confirm that my Knox bit is still 0x00. Just about to factory reset
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Koguchi9:
Enjoy the smoothness =)

Also remember if you are getting bad battery life and it isn't fixed when you do a restart (not a factory reset) then it most likely will be an app causing it.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] hashcheck:
I ended up downgrading to 4.4 as indian rom and kernel has no gear VR support :( waiting on Aus rom now
[Galaxy Note 4 General] julz:
Ah bummer just as I finished flashing the Indian rom. Might play with it for a while until my Moga Pro Power controller arrives and then flash back.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Ianjames85:
any news on aus lollipop rollout?
[Galaxy Note 4 General] sandman997:
Hey does anyone know why my Shealth hasnt updated
[Galaxy Note 4 General] ruskival:
OPTUS - lollipop MAYBE SOON !!!!????

just saw that the Optus forum has updated the status of android updates, and Note 4 software testing is completed so hopefully OTA in the next few days

https://community.optus.com.au/t5/Android/Android-Software-Updates-13-04-2015/td-p/112793

Galaxy Note 4

5.0.1

Next Version - 5.0.1 (Lollipop)

Update 13/04/15 - Completed
[Galaxy Note 4 General] rimcin:
I flashed the indian firmware, but have noticed my signal has been on 1 bar most of the time. Before the upgrade to 5.0.1 I was getting 3-4 bars at home and at work.

I did a clean install of the Indian firmware after I had some battery drain issues after dirty flashing it. Still having battery drain issues and bad signal.

Might go back to the unbranded 4.4.4 firmware to see if it fixes the issue.

Anyone else noticed their signal strength dropped with the indian firmware?
[Galaxy Note 4 General] julz:
Gear VR IS supported on the Indian Lollipop firmware. I tried it out tonight and it works. Have to download all the apps again though.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] hashcheck:
Oculus Home reboots on launch?? But when i flashed AEL kernel it works but modem stops functioning. Will try L2 rom
[Galaxy Note 4 General] julz:
Nope I'm using the stock rom without root. Tried 360 videos and it worked fine. Haven't tried much else yet. I did a clean factory reset after I flashed the Indian rom And reinstalled everything from scratch. Flashed onto a Vodafone Australia Note 4.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] hashcheck:
There's the issue. I'm on Dr Ketans L2 Rom. Just flashed 910g DrKetan L2 and reinstalled all oculus gear vr software but for some reason image isn't displaying in stereo and all mixed up. If I flash V11 AEL kernel gear vr works perfectly but modem stops working.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] SupaDuckie:
AEL only works for 910F, so far no longer the days of 910g and 910f for Ael
[Galaxy Note 4 General] hashcheck:
AEL v11 boots phone to use Gearvr its just the phone modem doesn't work. It's at least a way us 910g users on lollipop rooted Rom can at least use gearvr. And then flash stock kernel for normal use.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Mussels84:
creator of the AEL kernel has stated he'll look into it, but he cant until samsung release the 910G source code - which they have not done.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] hashcheck:
Yup saw that.. have been checking myself
[Galaxy Note 4 General] sandman997:
Just went to the vodafone software update page and android 5.0.1 failed testing so i guess its a good thing i have the indian firmware
[Galaxy Note 4 General] hashcheck:
Telstra aren't even testing yet. .. no mention of it. 3+ month away my guess
[Galaxy Note 4 General] senectus:
probably waiting for 5.1
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Koguchi9:
Highly doubt it, but possible.

I don't get why it's so hard for these companies to just keep their customers up to date with these sort of things.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Mussels84:
because it costs money. they'd rather lure you to a new product than pay to train their support staff to know anything about the update.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Koguchi9:
Surely their 'social network' team should be up to speed with things like this. That's really too bad. I'm really liking how Stan and more so Netflix has shaken the pay view market. Too long has these largest companies running on greed.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Mussels84:
and how do they deal with the thousands of people who ***** that 5.0 has no silent mode anymore, and want refunds? or "X app broke, downgrade me or replace my phone" and so on.

lollipop was a huge change, and they're being tightasses unfortunately.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Koguchi9:
Well if a person/team of people are paid to reply to questions then they should? I mean yeah people love to ***** (especially ones that can't think for themselves) but a single precise answer is way better than a sea of silence. My opinion anyway.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Burginthorn:
I think Samsung have made a massive error this time around. Bottom line, I just don't trust them anymore. Pay big dollars for flagship product and how many months has it been already? Thankfully the mobile market is packed with competitors.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Donkey Kong:
Totally agrees. My $320 dual sim motorolar phone has the lollipop update some months ago.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] julz:
It's not that bad. Sony have also just started to roll out Lollipop. If you want speed in software updates then go for a Nexus device
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Mussels84:
When have you ever seen them do that? The motto these days is sell a product, replace it if theres issues (for a fee) and otherwise do nothing for the customer, ever.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Barracuda77777:
actually it is, my Z1 got updated on Monday, its more than 1 year old! yet t Nte 4 which was released not long ago is being ignored for the sake of the S6 and $$$$$$$$$.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] aceonetwothree:
What kind of screen on time's are you guys getting on your phones on a daily basis? I'm on the Optus network SM-N910G with around 3-4 hours per day
[Galaxy Note 4 General] hashcheck:
I got 13hrs total time yesterday but not sure of screen on time
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Urimagination:
Hey guys just flashed the Indian 5.0, as i was sick of CM12 and the MMS issues (might wait till there is a stable and see how it goes)

I was wondering whats the best way to root the device again?

Can i use the CF-ROOT for the device number?
[Galaxy Note 4 General] mrxd:
Unbranded Aussie N910G here, manually checked software updates and lollipop is downloading now

Booted up, no surprises it's 5.0.1.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] hashcheck:
Can you upload pic of phone info kernel baseband etc.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] ruskival:
Optus Lollipop Updated finally.

Appeared sometime earlier today... Phone after optimising the apps is definitely faster and working smoothly... A massive improvement over 4.4.4 in my opinion...

Attached the phone info
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Mussels84:
Boc5? another different base...
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Burginthorn:
Can verify Lollipop 5.0.1 upgrade is here.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Mussels84:
If someone gets the chance (from sammobile or wherever) please post the aussie modems and bootloaders here. they may be helpful to other aussies down the road.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Ianjames85:
Yes sir. Enjoying 5.0.1 so far on my optus note 4.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] nathsgames:
No upload to Sammobile yet? Is it Optus branded?
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Burginthorn:
Mine is store bought XSA variant. Maybe carrier versions will be available upon carrier updates?
[Galaxy Note 4 General] ruskival:
Yeah this one is OPTUS branded... It came over the air only.. Not available through kies so not surprising not on samfirmware yet... It got pushed out by the carrier not Samsung
[Galaxy Note 4 General] sandman997:

[Galaxy Note 4 General] senectus:
Fark man.. Aus finally release lollipop and its an older variant to the Indian one (which is the exact same hardware as ours):

I'll stick with the Indian ROM thanks very much...
[Galaxy Note 4 General] hashcheck:
Anyone extracted modem and csc from XSA 5 rom
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Barracuda77777:
Don't you love the way Samsung treat us Ozies :)
[Galaxy Note 4 General] senectus:
strictly speaking this isn't a Samsung fault.

Its the useless telco's that insist on putting their bloat on the bloody image. Samsung test and ratify the build, then send it to the telco's who sit on it *forever* bloating it up then they release it for approval of distribution.

Though I do wish that Samsung would a n "Apple" and insist that no bloat is on the phone and all the telco has to do is test and confirm its not going to break their network...

Indian Kernel version 4517599

Build Date 20.03.2015

Australian Kernel version 4463154

Build Date 14.03.2015

The Indian version is more recent.

I don't mind trying the Australian XSA version if there is a fast download link.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] dr.ketan:
Check setting - security - is there option to pin? If not then it's older build same as oc3. Oc6 is much better compared to it.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] senectus:
Why is the Pinning build no good?
[Galaxy Note 4 General] dr.ketan:
I didn't say it. I mean if pinning is available means it's new build. On older build it was not available like boc3.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] senectus:
Yeah the

Indian build number is sequentially after the Australian build number.

I'm using the Indian build on my Aussie phone, it work just perfectly.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] nathsgames:
Same here, apart from the occassional lockup and pretty high battery use (even after a Factory Reset).

I noticed there are two indian builds on Sammobile, 10 days apart, but the same numbers, are they in fact different builds?
[Galaxy Note 4 General] senectus:
nope the same build, different telco's.

I've never had the issues you've described. i'm on the earlier of the two indian builds
[Galaxy Note 4 General] krazynayba:
Has anyone noticed issues with their signal at all on the India firmware? Mine is acting a bit weird.. I'm in North Adelaide (right near the CBD) and my signal which would normally be full, is only on a single bar. If I go to make a call in the exact same spot, the signal shoots up to full. I'm on Telstra. Not sure what it's doing.. I can still make calls, send/receive texts, and use data without hassle. Maybe it's just something to do with how the signal is displaying?
[Galaxy Note 4 General] senectus:
Full on which tech, single bar on which tech?

I found that on 4.4.4 I was getting full on HSDPA/3G and now I get 1 -2 bars on 4G
[Galaxy Note 4 General] ewo:
Hi Guys,

Quick question - I flashed heaps of ROMS on my note 3 & LG G3 - but I haven't don't anything on the Note 4 yet - its clear I wont get the Lollipop update this century ( with Vodafone ) so I may as well go ahead and get it sorted myself.

Is it just as straight forward as the Note 3 - ODIN - flash firmware ( to keep Knox counter at 0 ) ?

If I decide to root, CF Auto Root works the same?

Finally - which firmware is recommended? Indian I see?

Thanks :)
[Galaxy Note 4 General] krazynayba:
On the Note 4 SM-N910G. Used to get 3-4 bars on 4G and now I'm getting 0-2. As I said though, when I go to call a number it shoots back up to full again then after i hang up it'll drop back down to the same as it was before (0-2 bars)
[Galaxy Note 4 General] HuStLaZ:
Far as i know, flashing the stock XSA file (or any other stock file) won't trip knox.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] hashcheck:
If rooted better of flashing Indian with AELv1 Kernel and XSA CSC. Everything is perfect and gearvr works again
[Galaxy Note 4 General] ewo:
great, thanks

Has anything changed significantly in the way we flash roms etc since note 3?
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Mussels84:
i've noticed it too, but it appears to be a cosmetic change more than anything. not sure if its indian rom or lollipop in general.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Urimagination:
Hey mate i flashed back to IND firmware

Just wondering what these two are ?

AELv1 Kernel and XSA CSC
[Galaxy Note 4 General] senectus:
A work mate updated to the Aussie Version of Lollipop, its missing the "Window Pinning" as you mentioned.

Definitely better to install the Indian ROM.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] hashcheck:
Google echorom and you will find the AEL Kernel. It adds alot of features, overclocking, permisive etc the XSA CSC is Carrier settings and XSA is the unbranded Note 4 with all Aus Carriers settings
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Burginthorn:
Can anyone recommend a good app or mod that will allow me to delete a bunch of useless apps from my phone? Things like Facebook app and such. I know I can go into app management, but if possible, I'd rather they nuked than disabled.

Cheers.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Mussels84:
you can use a root file browser and just delete the APK's directly, i suggest cutting to a folder to be safe in case you need one later.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Donkey Kong:

XSA CSC for lollipop by hashcheck

You can use Trickster Mod to fine tune the kernel. Do a backup via TWRP before tweaking. I get 2 days worth of battery after some tweak.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] hashcheck:
Don't use that XSA CSC I'll update that thread with Lollipop CSC soon
[Galaxy Note 4 General] dr.ketan:
Yes that seems you got older version. Better to keep INU version unless you have special reason to flash Australia version.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Mussels84:
i was in recovery about to flash it and thought to myself i should wait and hear back if it worked for someone else.

glad i waited XD
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Donkey Kong:
Thanks hashcheck, I will let you know whether it is work as I am stuck with it until than.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] hashcheck:
It shouldnt cause any issues as it's just carrier settings, layouts & restrictions it's only language files that may be incompatible
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Donkey Kong:
How do I extract the modem and CSC once I installed the XSA 5.01 firmware?
[Galaxy Note 4 General] hashcheck:
You can backup modem via flashify app. CSC has to been extracted via Odin file
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Donkey Kong:
Can you extract both via Odin? If so can you extract both from the image file or must be from the phone?
[Galaxy Note 4 General] icanfly77:
Has anyone here who was on Indian ROM flash back to Aussie LP and not factory reset? Was thinking I shouldn't need to since it's staying on the same FW version? Ta
[Galaxy Note 4 General] mikeemoz:
Hey [MENTION=4912084]hashcheck[/MENTION] hope all is well, do you have a flashable Lollipop modem you could kindly share. Not sure im getting the best from telstra atm. Cheers mate.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] HuStLaZ:
I did. Didn't have to reset anything, just straight flashed via Odin and it worked fine.

Noticed small differences (no screen pinning, action notifications from pull down slightly different - the 'delete', 'reply' buttons are all right aligned instead of being on the left).

Might flash back to indian ROM later if it really bugs me.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] icanfly77:
Cheers good to know. I was considering going back to Aussie because I like sticking with Stock just me even though Indian doesnt have the loss of auto-rotate feature.

Also it seems with the non-aussie version my Westpac app wont let me do tap and pay when it used to work but maybe that is a lollipop restriction. I do know the fingerprint options don't include Paypal on the Indian version but I won't miss not having that if I stay with Indian. Just found out what screen pinning is and can't say even finding out what it is I don't know if I would ever use it.. Strange they make so many changes why would it matter whether you are in India or Aust if you should get that feature? Is it a case of stupidity between different Samsung regions, as in Samsung Aust just forgot to enable it? As there doesnt seem to be any geographic reason why Australia shouldn't have it especially when it was in the XSA version..
[Galaxy Note 4 General] HuStLaZ:
I flashed the Optus ROM. I might try the XSA Rom and see if there are any differences (i doubt it though - but can't hurt to see).
[Galaxy Note 4 General] icanfly77:
I would go to optus rom as well because thats why my phone came with and as I understand it if I flash to XSA it wont change the OPS CSC code so it wont get OTA updates anyway... I don;t mind having the optus stuff installed and at least i will get the optus modem which havent seen lurking around to flash separately yet anyway..
[Galaxy Note 4 General] rimcin:
Has anyone else's google play services been draining battery since the 5.0.1 update? I've factory reset and it still seems to drain. I've also tried turning off google now. Does it take a few days for it to settle down? Because atm I'm hardly getting 3 hrs on screen time.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] jasopan:
Can someone please point me in the right direction or to a guide to flashing a stable lollipop build (doesn't have to be latest or anything)?

Do I still need to root and back up before flashing?

I'm on Vodafone if that makes a difference.

Much appreciated.

I'll upload XSA Modem and CSC soon this is the unbranded outright purchased note 4 and can be flashed on any 910g. Telstra hasn't released 5.0.1 Rom yet so once that is out I'll upload modem and CSC(branding removed) in my thread. Haven't had much time but it will be uploaded soon
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Donkey Kong:
I am downloading the XSA version for 910G 5.01. It is in a zip format. Can I extract the modem and csc from once I opened the zip file?
[Galaxy Note 4 General] hashcheck:
You can Google "extract csc from Samsung firmware" you need Linux and then make a flashable TWRP zip
[Galaxy Note 4 General] icanfly77:
I flashed from Indian to Optus ROM and now i cant get a gps lock. Apps like maps and runkeeper and even a gps test app sit there and search forever not connecting to any satellites. Even after i factory reset twice the issue is still present. Was working fine on Indian could it be a bad flash? Should i try and flash again? I flashed this with odin 3.10.6 the latest should i try with 3.09? Ta
[Galaxy Note 4 General] jayesh:
Use this - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.eclipsim.gpsstatus2&hl=en

It can wipe and reset settings and help you fix the GPS. Used it on both my nexus 6 and n4. Working fine after that.

Link to the XSA lollipop modem.bin. hidden.img.ext4 and cache.img.ext4 files.

I have combined hidden.img.ext4 and cache.img.ext4 with this command under cygwin

tar -H ustar -c cache.img.ext4 hidden.img.ext4 > csc_xsa_n910gdtu1boc5.tar

md5sum -t csc_xsa_n910gdtu1boc5.tar >>csc_xsa_n910gdtu1boc5.tar

I use odin to flash this csc_xsa_n910gdtu1boc5.tar file but when I checked the CSC via *#1234# it still has your ANK kitkat version and so I assume the process failed. What to do now.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] icanfly77:
Thanks but I already tried this and did the cold start thing and didn't work wont lock on to any satellites.. always 0/xx satellites :(

I guess all I can do is reflash... clearly the factory reset didnt help
[Galaxy Note 4 General] hashcheck:
When I get home I make flashable zips of those files
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Donkey Kong:
Thanks. I guess Odin flashing does not mount the system and hence it did not work.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] hashcheck:
Odin works but you have to flash rom and then csc before you boot rom first time
[Galaxy Note 4 General] icanfly77:
So inreflashed optus rom and didnt work still no gps lock.. so flashed indian again and all good so i gotta think its firmware related. Maybe it doesn't break going from optus 4.4 to 5 with ota but certainly flashing indian to optus broke my phone. Different bootloader perhaps?

You can just flash latest BOD2 without a wipe but it's better to start fresh and backup and restore apps with titanium

my experience is you wont get OTA updates if you dont factory reset... If thats important to you at all...
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Koguchi9:
Just checked for an update through device info and it pulled the new file. Just under 198mb. Running India 5.01 and I did factory restart when I first installed.
