Wait a bit from the Samsung boot screen. It's normal that the first start up takes a long time.

Just confirming, did you tick the option Nand Erase All in odin before flashing?
[Galaxy Note 4 General] WifesNote:
No android (any colour) 1st, just straight into samsung splash screen

and yes, Nand Erase All
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Barracuda77777:
just like I suspected, somehow your flashing is not getting done right, usually that is when csc is being set, either there is something wrong with the phone's hardware, or the flashing is not being done properly, have you tried on another pc and cable? also after the flashing is done are you interfering at all with the phone? the proper way is to let it do its thing until it finishes booting.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] senectus:
Also are you absolutely certain it's a real note 4 and not a knock off?
[Galaxy Note 4 General] WifesNote:
Have Asus N61jq i7 laptop (approx 4 yrs old) running Win10 Enterprise (up to date and housekeeping always done (run dual boot win10)) to do flashing/playing around with the phone. (not really a Win person - been on Mac since '86)

Have Mac Pro quad (approx 6 yrs old) running OsX 10.10.5 but no Odin for Mac. (there was a port of Odin for Mac called Jodin, but as far as I know, site has not been updated/supported for a couple of years and the links to the app are broken.

Using original "fat" cable for flashing/charging (have marked Samsung "skinny" cable from my S3 - will try with that)

Proceedure for flashing

Can only "power off" by pulling battery

Flashed with Odin v3.10.7 >PASS (or whichever Odin version I use)

Wait half hour for it to do its stuff >still on boot screen

pull battery >wait 2 mins >put back battery >reboot

Odin Mode reveals

"what ever rom I've flashed" CSC= always stays VIA (Germany)

in this case LMY47X-N910FXXU1COJ3 (v5.1.1) CSC=VIA (have also tried original 5.0.1 , International, and other "F" F/Ws)

>wipe cache >wait 15 mins >still on boot screen

pull battery >wait 2 mins >put back battery >reboot

>wipe data/factory reset >wait 15 mins >still on boot screen

pull battery >wait 2 mins >put back battery >reboot

>wait 20 mins >still on boot screen/bootloop - NO UI screen

It appears to me that flashing takes (but maybe not properly as you say) and will not load.

I note your "... is not getting done right, usually that is when csc is being set". My CSC always stays VIA.

Is there a way around changing CSC :)

As far as I know it is a genuine Samsung Note 4 by all appearances and build quality

Tried chasing up with Duck Duck Go and Google ...

IMEI: 35690006363180-9 does not bring up anything, Tried Samsung site, could not find where to check IMEI

S/N: RF1D45EJGGR does bring up stuff, but maybe other brand of phones with same S/N
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Barracuda77777:
can you try flashing via firmware? if it works that means the phone is locked to their network.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] WifesNote:
Sorry, I do not understand "... try flashing via firmware?) can only flash with Odin or custom rom thru TWRP (no UI) - still a novice but learning fast

Been chasing more links whether this phone is genuine by S/N, but now I'm not sure by what I have read.

Build quality is "spot on" as compared to a couple of youtube clips I've veiwed on counterfeit Note 4s

Sister-law has a genuine N910G Optus, so I will compare complete packages to-gether.

Any idea how to check IMEI by Samsung or other data bases or extracting the number from the phone by command line or TWRP?
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Barracuda77777:
I meant the German VIA ROM, since you said the csc is stuck on it. I reckon it's worth a try.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] KeyzerSuze:
Hi

have N910G, have no idea what I'm running it was a rebuild of the offical rom. Rooted

A: 4.4.4

Kernel: 3.10.0-3314010

baseband - M910GDTU1ANK3

I recently switched from telsta to optus and find something my data connection just stops and the phone heats up. so I have lte or 3g or 4g and then it drops back to H+ I can see out data and no inbound data.

Only way to fix is to go to flight node and then turn back on. Turning off data doesn't see to help, full flight mode.

any suggestion on what firmware I can upgrade to, that might be good to work with optus.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] WifesNote:
Derrrr :silly:, have already flashed the original official VIA v5.0.1 rom back (as received) that was on it and also tried official VIA v5.1.1 (even tried downgrade to VIA v4.4.4) >no go >bootloops

As to whether this is a genuine Note 4 or counterfeit ....

TWRP recovery log (in part) reveals ...

ro.carrier=unknown

ro.product.cpu.abi=armeabi-v7a

ro.product.cpu.abi2=armeabi

ro.product.cpu.abilist=armeabi-v7a,armeabi

Hey so I just got a new note 4 from vodafone, my other one broke and they gave me a new one. I was just wondering is it the same steps to root I'm on 5.1.1
[Galaxy Note 4 General] WinJunkie:
What are my options to get root on N910G Optus 5.1.1 stock without tripping root?
[Galaxy Note 4 General] senectus:
You mean without tripping Knox?

Can't be done yet.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Jishy420:
I am also with optus, running cm12.1 with COH4 bootloader/modem and every day have a consistent data drop with optus...i dont think it is the phone. My housemate running the same bootloader&modem but touchwiz rom also has data drops, it seems persistant between roms.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] WinJunkie:
Anyone tried king root on 5.1.1? some say it works without tripping knox but only stays rooted temporary and you have to keep reappling. Which is fine with me, would just like some confirmation from someone on optus with 5.1.1. Can you please post your build too if it is working for you?
[Galaxy Note 4 General] isaacinsoll:

Upgraded from a Note 3 recently to a Note 4 (N910C). Came delivered with THL H4 ROM. Have recently loaded the J5 ROM (XEO) and am very happy with the phone so far. So much so, I'm struggling to make the decision to root it. :) Phone with a 128GB sdcard, AU$750. Couldn't bring myself to pay 1.5 to 2 times that for the N5 which has no expandable storage, no IR and no user serviceable battery.

Installed the Indian mm as well. Factory reset and everything working fine. Feels smoother as expected. Also fingerprint scanner seems to have improved haven't had one false reading yet.

Also if you have your fingerprint as security, make sure you know your backup password because after install first boot up it'll ask for that and not your fingerprint..

Australian unboxing

A video i found on the Australian variant of note 4.

i think you only need the Australian version if you are on optus (it uses 2300mhz TD-LTE only found on the 910G). other wise 910U is a better option imo.

How long are you giving Odin to load the firmware?I find Odin unresponsive a minute or two then becomes good.

Make sure the phone is not connected to PC until the firmware is loaded and ready to flash as well.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] lofi01:
Yah, gave it a few tries, even once for 10 minutes plus, still stuck on not responding weird. I never had this problem when installing on my note 3. Running Odin 3.07 might be the issue? Any other ideas? Anyone tried Philz and had success installing xnote with it?

On a side note, with regards to running other mods, which model numbers work with the Australian version.. n910f's only? i know that is the india version what about cananda, sprint etc?

btw Merry Christmas everyone :)

Just check what chip you have snapdragon or exynos and install that international version.

well this has been abit of a nightmare installed the indian version 2.8.3, now the phone is only booting to recovery.

Fixed the recovery boot loop by reflashing stock optus firmware using odin, thank god. What a nightmare this process has been. I seem to have lost the custom recovery after installing the stock firmware.... don't think i will try this again untill the new OTA.

about time i joined this thread, lurked in the S5 and N3 aussie threads but already moved on from them.

One oddity to share with you guys: I've got two N4's whose origins are vague as i bought them secondhand (I know someone who gets new phones every year from telstra since they work there, and she just sells them off and sticks with her blackberry)

One of these N4's has flat glass, one has curved. No way to tell this until i'd put identical glass screen protectors on them, and one has a raised edge while the other is a perfect fit.

Rom - Aussie SM-N910GXSA1DPE1

Hi Guys,

I've been long out of the developing game due to the amount of time need to invest in keeping up with the latest and greatest lol :p

but anyway ..

I've made a rom which I was gonna keep personal but thinking of sharing the goodness with you other aussie users here on XDA

so ..

I'm looking for testers .. I don't think I am gonna release it per say as a new thread as it's for a really select market (Aussies) but here's the basic details of it

Based off latest marshmallow N910GINU1DPE1

- removed indian CSC

- added XSA (unlocked Australian) CSC and language

- Kept as odex (for speed and stability!)

- Knox removed

- Rooted (latest SU - BETA-SuperSU-v2.74-2-20160519174328)

- Busybox (latest - Busybox.Installer.v1.24.2)

- Added Monte Blanc S-Pen (ink effect, wallpaper, s-note pens, etc.)

- Added All camera modes and effects from Samsung Apps (now pre-installed)

- Added Xposed installer and modules (double tap notification bar to sleep, torch, youtube adaway, privacy mode/shealth mod, youtube background play and FireFds (based off Wanam's Xtouchwiz but with more options - like torch icon in quick settings, s-finder removal, etc.)

- Added AdAway (blocks ads)

- Added S7 Game Launcher and Game Tools

- Multi user support

- Modded factory kernel for root (unsecure, etc.)

- A lot of build.prop and csc mods - call recording, ram management, etc)

probably some other stuff too, but that's the gist of it.

Anyway, this isn't something I'm expecting to work on more because I am happy as it is.

I've dirty flashed it after dirty flashing the Indian N910GINU1DPE1 and all is good :highfive::good:

You are going to want to Odin atleast the bootloader from MM so flashing the factory rom via odin is recommended to prior flashing this rom.

Also you will need wanam's xposed alt framework (tried incorporating it but couldn't get it to flash due to the scripting used in his zip)

So, this is my personal rom - set up as how I like it.

Anyone here interested in testing it out?? :silly:

[Galaxy Note 4 General] Mussels84:
you really should make your own thread for it, just so we can find it easier when we want it. occasional updates are not a problem for stock based roms.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Eudemony:
Yeah, I don't want to take over this thread .. we'll see what the response is like .. I don't expect many .. how many Aussie users are there who would want something like this??
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Mussels84:
non aussie users would probably like it too, so dont think just aussies want it. A simple prerooted modded rom without heaps of additions and changes is often very popular with beginners to the custom scene.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] krumbs:
Love what you have done with the stock ROM. Downloading it now.

I am in India, so wondering if I can put the Indian CSC back in. :)

Or will it make no difference if I use the AU CSC?

Thanks for the tweaks!
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Eudemony:
thanks mate. yeah you can. the stock files in for csc are in the stock rom file "cache.img" else from memory just pull the sipdb and csc folders from an indian mm rom. Youll lose though the csc mods i've inserted.

talking about the indian csc there are some parts that concern me e.g.

<CscFeature_Message_ConfigImeiTracker>+919560345888</CscFeature_Message_ConfigImeiTracker>

<CscFeature_Web_ConfigDomainKeepIdleConnection>digilocker.gov.in</CscFeature_Web_ConfigDomainKeepIdleConnection>

i dont really need to be tracked by the indian government.

but yes staying with the xsa csc still will work fine
[Galaxy Note 4 General] krumbs:
Thank you for the quick revert! Will stick with the XSA CSC.

I had no idea the Indian CSC had these two entries. Will post about it in the Indian thread. Perhaps someone knows what is going on here. The digilocker bit points to a cloud storage service offered by the Indian govt. Looks innocuous enough, but not sure why it needs to be baked into a Samsung ROM.

This is actually bad for international users flashing Indian ROM, as they'll end up incurring international SMS cost when they setup their phones. But yes, the SMS tracker is a Samsung thing, nothing to do with GoI...
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Sabre27:
Mate, I jut wanted to say your ROM sounds great and thank you for your efforts. :good:

I and many others on whirlpool forum and here have been waiting for Samsung to release Aust MM.

I do not want to root my phone as its still under warranty another 6 months and the stock firmware work OK for my needs otherwise I would have definitely downloaded and tried it a soon a I saw it.

At this stage going to flash Indian and keep current XSA CSC as I will not be doing a factory reset. :D
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Eudemony:
First thank you for your kind words.. much appreciated!!

Secondly.. I don't think "dirty flashing" the Indian rom via odin will keep your XSA CSC and I will tell you why.

When you flash via odin the official rom, the official rom keeps the csc information in a file called "cache.img" which is flashed when installing from odin.

If you "unzip" the cache.img it comes with two folders, "lost+found" and "recovery" .. inside the recovery folder are two files, "command" and "sec_csc.zip"

command is the file that recovery uses to update your csc and it looks like this

--update_package=CACHE:recovery/sec_csc.zip
--carry_out=csc_home
--wipe_cache

sec_csc.zip when you open that up contains meta-inf (info for flashing .. here we find the commands to flash the folder "system" contained in the zip to "system" on your phone.

and the folder system

[IMG="csc folder"]http://i.imgur.com/CG6zG71.jpg[/IMG]

this is the csc files that get written to your system ..

so, I would think you would have to flash the rom without the cache.img but that can lead to problems too! (if system is wiped during the flash .. or maybe you can exchange it for another cache.img (never tried that!)

therefore if you flash the official rom I am pretty sure your csc changes to the roms .. someone correct me if I'm wrong!

oh, on a side note, read on the whirlpool forum you were having problems with your alarm? .. this link is for the s5 but should apply for the note 4 also

http://forums.androidcentral.com/sa...-lollipop-silent-mode-alarms-not-working.html
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Sabre27:
Hello again,

Thanks mate, I just saw your post on whirlpool forum.

No biggie re csc its done now. so long as phone works ok that's fine.

I will just wait for aussie XSA rom and flash that then we will be done as there wont likely be any more major updates for the phone.

As for alarm, thanks for the link. I was thinking of using do not interrupt instead of mute as I have that set to custom and alarm being the only priority interruption so will try that instead of mute.

Great minds think alike , LOL

Actually the cache wipe seems to have it working, ie sounding for normal time, ok for the moment.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] mdrmusic:

Just wanted to ask - I'm on Amaysim (Optus network), how do you think that would go running your custom ROM?

[Galaxy Note 4 General] DHD_User:
Another Adelaide user but on Optus :)

I'm getting (more than a little) bit tired of lag on my N4.

Is this option likely to be any "speedier" or should I just suck it up and wait for the N6 ?

If this custom ROM is a reasonable option, would someone like to post a nothing-missing, hold-your-hand, step-by-step guide on HOW to actually flash a new ROM ?

While there's a zillion threads here on XDA and Mr Google has a bazillion or so "guides", nonetheless it's hard to find a consolidated, step-by-step guide.

Cheers.

[Galaxy Note 4 General] Mussels84:
make the switch, try CM13.

this is the build i use (the newer ones have camera issues, as a work in progress)

https://mega.nz/#!wJEAiAwD!L-nq013ggEK9bd9RlUme3U4bBVBI6ikv4e65jM-pR9E

not sure on your basic knowledge but the steps is:

Use ODIN to flash TWRP (custom recovery)

either wipe system and data partitions under advanced wipe now, or do a factory reset after installing the custom rom

Use custom recovery to flash custom rom (in the case of CM13, once that zip finishes flash Gapps from opengapps.com)

enjoy the taste of delicious bacon... or use CM13. whatevs.

Hi all

I just purchased a N910C from DWI and was curious about the fast charge claims (50% in 30 minutes)

Do I need to purchase a special charging cable or is the one supplied sufficient?

Must I be plugged into mains or will a suitable output USB plug suffice?

you need a genuine samsung charger and a quality cable. You cannot fast charge from USB on a laptop/PC etc.
