[Galaxy Note 4 General] Pine Sol:
i was able to factory reset and all was working good.

i downloaded N910W8VLU1COK3_N910W8OYA1COK3_TLS

used this http://justforprogrammers.blogspot.ca/2015/12/downgrade-from-marshmallow-to-lollipop.html

wiped caches, did factory reset before and after...

it got stuck in a bit of a boot loader loop, so i started typing this...

and it booted up...

just checked, and its running 5.1.1

thank you

next step is to network unlock it (via cracking it, fingers crossed).....

more to come

Hi all,

I'm looking to sell my unlocked Note 4.

Its mint and in box with all accs (no headphones) as well as a bunch of cases.

With the Cdn $ being down, how much should I ask for it?

Thanks
[Galaxy Note 4 General] cash2387:
From what Ive been reading there aren't any network unlocks that work. I just bought a Bell Galaxy S4 and I'm reading that around 4.1.2 the options were in the debug menus. Since anything after 4.4.4 the options are missing. Although I do have a question for everyone. If you try to use your speakerphone, Do people tell you your underwater or something. I searched online but didn't find much. Its happening on my wifes phone and mine. So its just not my device. Hers is stock unrooted and mine is stock rooted with TWRP.

It's not your bootloader it's Android... have to Un check Auto reboot in Odin. .. as you said when it reboots it does a systems update that's android reinstalling stock recovery...pull ur battery and boot directly into recovery and it will stay....I won't even comment how many times I tryed be four I relised what was going on....
[Galaxy Note 4 General] cash2387:
No you understood it right. I just assumed it was in the debug options because that's how its always been. Do you happen to know the dialer code?
[Galaxy Note 4 General] trinilu27:
I can't remember that one specifically......but if you go to the play store and download (shortcut Master Lite) you can find the code....it will give you more then you want to know....like hundreds of them...
[Galaxy Note 4 General] inonosa:
I wasn't around when darknotes was still here.

Did you happen to try out darknotes and OvrDriVE?

Were there issues with the roms on the Canadian w8?
[Galaxy Note 4 General] trinilu27:
Thanks for the links I'll check them out...and when u ask about trouble with the rom are u meaning the stock rom?.. this phone has 6.0.1 on it when I got it never had a problem. As far as all the custom roms go after reading through all the other threads everybody has the same problem as I do but after reading through some of the link you just posted I can see why there's a major lack of development on this phone....thanks agian

anyone getting the october security patch marshmallow update for note 4 ?
[Galaxy Note 4 General] cash2387:
More then likely no. I think we're still siting on May. I've been tempted to call Samsung and ask why are other regions getting updates but not Canada.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] force70:
So you want to call samsung about security patches that could possibly break the ability to root lol?

I never take OTAs until i see what they affect...the manufacturers dont have modding in mind when they push out updates.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] cash2387:
Well I know it could break root. But still it makes no sense why other regions like the EU get the security patches, but we don't.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] force70:
International devices always seem to get updates sooner.

Many over there arent tied to carriers and the dont have to wait for those slow asses to allow the devices to be updated.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] shaggyskunk:
Tmo is now getting the October Security Patch - Maybe Canadian Carriers will be next - It should be noted that the Canadian Carriers did actually push 6.01 BEFORE Tmo & other US Carriers a while back.

[Galaxy Note 4 General] cash2387:
I should know this by now. But I'm having trouble regaining root for some reason. I was rooted and then tried out Magisk (for Pokémon go) and that didn't work. So now I reflashed the SU zip from within TWPR and it fails. So I tried CF Autoroot again and It finishes but phone hangs at booting recovery...So I reflash TWPR again in Odin and I get the phone to boot again but I'm left unrooted. Any thoughts? I just don't wanna reflash stock again right now.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] mystic74:
I agree with stock MM Rom came with issues or at least didn't work for me as expected.

I flashed so many other roms and they performed better than stock.

Now I am on Aurora Note 7 port Rom for T-Mobile phones and it is like I have Note 7 in my hand (without any blow up risk). I recommend.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Sidneymac:
Thanks I'll give that port a try but I'm on a stock kit kat. Cok3. What's the process from here, clean a wipe a midst,?
[Galaxy Note 4 General] mystic74:
Back-up everything first.

Odin to the latest firmware.

Odin latest twrp recovery.

From recovery install the ROM you like to try/use.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Sidneymac:
Do I need a data fix ?
[Galaxy Note 4 General] mystic74:
With Aurora you shouldn't need.

I am using AT&T via StraightTalk and even their APN settings were included.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Sidneymac:
I was able to get lte perfectly fine but sending pics using message app didn't happen for some reason. Will play around with the apn settings and see if it makes a difference.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] mystic74:
Yes, definitely check your APN settings.

Feel free to share your carrier and let others help with sharing experiences.

As for the "small things" there were reports of Bluetooth not wanting to play when connected at first. So my example was I connected up to my Samsung Soundbar. Try to play music either from YouTube or Samsung Music and it wont play. So disconnect Bluetooth and then reconnect and it will work. Someone mentioned about taking the Bluetooth APK file from Aurora 3 and delete it and replace it, it will work, However in my case it didn't work. Plus I had a small amount of Chinese lettering in the dialer. Again just needing to delete two files and then rebooting.

Has anyone created a TWRP flashable zip updater-script to update the modem and bootloader? I did this on my Galaxy S3 and found it so convenient.

For anyone that is curious, here is the content of the updater-script used to install the modem:

package_extract_file("flash_image", "/tmp/flash_image");

set_perm(0, 0, 0777, "/tmp/flash_image");

ui_print("Installing modem...");

assert(package_extract_file("NON-HLOS.bin", "/tmp/NON-HLOS.bin"),

run_program("/tmp/flash_image", "/dev/block/mmcblk0p1", "/tmp/NON-HLOS.bin"),

delete("/tmp/NON-HLOS.bin"));

delete("/tmp/flash_image");

I am wondering if I can use the same script but just change the name and destinations of the modem and bootloader files. Does anyone know which files map to which locations?

Two ways to Root your device:

a) CF Auto Root SM-N910W8 - link:

b) Flash TWRP img.tar 3.0.2-0 with Odin 3.11.1 - Flash a Custom Rom with Root built-in.

I know most of you don't care and are not interested. Out of curiosity I wanted to see if the N910W8 could be downgraded from the latest update directly to either 5.1.1 or 444. The answer is yes. 4.44. sure is a trip down memory lane.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] cash2387:
I'm honestly surprised this update even arrived. The security patch was from May last time. I've moved into custom ROMs since I'm out out of my 1 year warranty. My wife's phone however is still . Knox counter still at 0. I'm not sure what we'll go for next summer for an upgrade if we even want anything then. This phone might be going on 3 years pld. But super solid.

I know its highly subjective but my phone seem more stable, faster, and the battery have increase. I hooe its gonna last forever!
[Galaxy Note 4 General] dbzgod:
Exact same experience I am having with my Note 4, it is extremely smooth.

It's just sad that it takes this long for the firmware to get to the way it should of been for the launch of the product, or at least a few months in when we get a "performance" update.

I also noticed when we got marshmallow the battery life was worse over Lollipop, but now it ha improved.

Glad my Note 4 is still going strong, I'll be waiting for this summer to get a Note 8 upgrade.

[Galaxy Note 4 General] redz1234:
That I can't answer but I haven't seen anything within the threads.. Look around the T-Mobile Note4 threads..
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Sidneymac:
which roms were you guys using prior to installing the update. What's the major difference ? Haven't we been using tmobile update for months ?
[Galaxy Note 4 General] dbzgod:
I've been using the official Canadian stock roms for the entirety of my Note 4.

Most of the updates we've got along the way have been buggy & sluggish for the most part. While they would fix some issue others would pop up.

When we got the marshmallow update, on top of the diminished battery I had the life got worse and appeared to worsen at a much more rapid pace. I ended up needing to get a new one.

However even with a new battery, power still drained much faster then previous roms.

This latest one has shown much improved battery usage, it no longer drains to quick.

On top of that it appears that they have a much better control/setting on how the CPU is running. The phone is quite smooth and fluid, the only time it gets sluggish again is if you put heavy loads on it such as games & benchmarks that kick in the thermal throttling.

Anybody know which Note4 version(s) will work on Freedom Mobile's LTE network? I have an unlocked and flashed N910W8 on Telus presently and might want to change over. I'm assuming it will work like all other Canadian LTE carriers but would like to know if that's correct.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] vicm:
It will work for sure on the current Freedom Mobile network (HSPA+), but, unfortunately, it will not be able to support oncoming Freedom LTE (band 66, I believe).
[Galaxy Note 4 General] BluePhnx:
I ask that and the guy said only LG v20 and one ZTE phone will work with there LTE band for now.

Sorry but I don't think note 4 supports that aws-3 band 66 for lte.

They use aws-3 band 66 for lte and the LTE is not everywhere yet so you might want to check availability for your area.

I tried *#197328640# and i don't get the menus that it says i should get. is there a note4 modem that will will give me the menus? if so where can i find the modem?

if no modem

is it safe for me to try and install the "ROGERS_MODEM_I317MVLALJ2" note 2 modem on my telus note 4? has anyone tried this?

if not and if I try would flashing Brick my note 4?

Hi guys. I don't know if I'm at the right place or if anyone is still reading this but I have a question about the Note 4 in canada. Would a Rogers Note 4 (or any of the major carriers') work with Wind/Freedom mobile if it is unlocked?
[Galaxy Note 4 General] vicm:
Sure it will. All providers in Canada have the same SM-N910W8 Note 4 model and you only need to have it unlocked for working with any provider.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Electroman365:
Thanks for the quick reply, vicm. I really appreciate that. Been trying to find a Note 3 or Note 4 and while I could find a bunch of Note 3s that were either Wind phones or unlocked to work with Wind, I couldn't find any Note 4s. So I thought maybe they're different or maybe not even made to work with Wind.

So an unlocked Note 4 should work just fine? I had a very bad experience with a Note 2 that was from Rogers and it had a horrible -almost useless- reception on Wind after getting it unlocked. I hope that's not the case with the Note 4.
