Doubt it since KitKat OTAs are rejected due to detection of modifications. Flashing via Odin is simple enough, though.

I did read suggestions that Lollipop might even not allow Odin flashes on modded (Knox tripped) phones but it's speculation as far as I can tell.

Personally, I'm rooted and expect to be able to Odin flash Lollipop when it's available.

I can flash the ANK4 (BTU) stock rom with Odin but not my own stock rom (NEE) or any rom with a bigger cache than the BTU rom wich has a pretty small cache. And before I rooted my phone on BTU I could. Strange that it happened after root. When you flash cf-root you can se for a short while that it does something with the cache. Wonder if it changed the cache partition to a smaller size? Can it be that all odin flashes with a bigger cache than the one you had when rooting fails while flashing? As I am no expert on this area it is just a question if this could be the cause? I am really stuck with the BTU rom and cant go back to my NEE rom wich I really want

[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mikkelrev69:
Did you check the "re-partition" check box on Odin before flashing BTU? If so, I think you've messed up your partition sizes. Re-partition must NOT be checked unless you know what you're doing and intend to re-partition your system. If I recall correctly there are some threads about these things in the Note 3 sections from about a year ago and how to recover. I think you got to flash in a certain way and have the firmware split up into custom partitions and then flash one by one but I'm not sure at all. I just recall slightly.

On my own 910FZKENEE I recently flashed the both the DBT and the BTU (NK4) for so to flash back to old NEE (NJ4) before flashing latest NEE NK4. I didn't expect it to be possible to flash back to older bootloader since this was not possible on Note 3, to revert, but maybe it's possible now if one keep the original CSC all the way and therefore can flash older FW (and bootloader) so long it's native to the phone and CSC.

This is only speculation on my part, but maybe anyone else has knowledge about this and can elaborate?

Edit. Sorry for being slightly off topic but it's relevant to get the flashing processes correctly I think..

I must add that after every of these FW flashes, I rooted normally with the same CF-autoroot file using Odin 3.07, ...with "re-partition unchecked of course. So it's quite certain that this proceedure does nothing to mess with your partitions. You did something wrong to get your cache f..... up.

Cannot enter stock recovery after rooting

Have anyone noticed that after rooting cannot enter stock recovery. Phone goes in some kind of loop and little android with opened belly starts to blink. Only way to reset the phone is to remove the battery and after that phone only booted in flawed recovery, download mode is accessible.

I flashed appropriate cf-autoroot for n910c. Thank you for answers.

a) Have you tried to Factory Reset?

[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] McIringer:
Thank you for answering. Factory reset obviously was nit possible, I wanted to keep stock recovery, because I prefer to run stock ROM with Xposed.

I was in a hurry in the morning and I only reflashed cf autoroot because it has cache and recovery included and managed to start the phone eventually. I haven't tried going in to recovery again, cause I need phone during the day. Will report back.

But is is possible that stock recovery is unusable due to cf autoroot?
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] McIringer:
Checked again at home. Even after rerooting with cf autoroot I am not able to boot into recovery (stock). After removing battery phone booted in safe mode and then after restarting booted normally.
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bkai:
Is the recovery that gets re-flashed the same as the one you had (for your particular firmware version)? I had this issue on the N910U and ended up flashing TWRP instead. I don't think autoroot has been updated to include the latest appropriate recovery images for some devices. Could be wrong though.
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mikearzillo:
Hello everyone. This is my first post here but I've been a lurker for quite some time.

I just purchased 2 Samsung Galaxy Note 4 Developer Edition SM-N910VMKEVZW smartphones. The firmware version printed on the box is N910VOYU1ANJ5.

Before booting the OS for the first time I performed the following with Odin:

1) Booted into stock recovery and recorded the SW version.

2) Flashed TWRP and made a full NANDroid backup.

3) Flashed CF-Auto-Root and rooted.

4) Booted into recovery again and recorded the SW version.

5) Flashed TWRP again and made another full NANDroid backup.

6) Booted the OS and launched SuperSU.

The SW version reported by stock recovery in step 1 was KTU84P.N910VOYU1ANJ5. After flashing CF-Auto-Root the SW version reported by recovery in step 4 was KTU84P.N910VVRU1ANI1. It appeared to be the same as the stock recovery but the version was slightly different. I assume that CF-Auto-Root overwrote the TWRP recovery but was it actually the same as stock recovery? Is there any way to backup the original stock recovery before flashing TWRP or CF-Auto-Root on a brand new unit? The Samsung splash screen now shows "CUSTOM" under the unlock icon.

When I launched SuperSU in step 6 it prompted me to disable KNOX. I selected "okay" and it displayed the "disabling KNOX" message for over an hour before I finally gave up and performed a normal restart. Perhaps it isn't necessary to disable KNOX on the Developer Edition? How can I check the counter? I'm not all that concerned about voiding the warranty but I'd like to know if I tripped the KNOX fuse.

Also, is the procedure I used for first startup a good one? I haven't registered the phone with Verizon or connected it with WiFi yet. I needed root mostly for TiBu, Tasker and the KitKat SDcard permissions fix. My next step is to load TiBu and start freezing bloatware.

I haven't done anything with the second phone yet. In my reading of these posts I've noted a few requests for info from DE N4's. If there is anything I could supply from a factory fresh unit I would be happy to contribute.
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] manbat:
Stock Recovery used in CF-Autoroot for VZW Dev Edition is from ANI1. CF-AUTOROOT temp flashes a custom recovery and gains root. It then flashes back to stock recovery (which was from ANI1)...that is why it shows that way after you re-run CF-Autoroot. If you want stock recovery for ANJ5...you can get it here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=56811688

Make sure you read everything before flashing any thing from the linked thread....

If all you want is TWRP and root ...all you need to do is Odin flash TWRP and then flash SuperSU with TWRP....no need to use CF-Autoroot....

Thanks for a great rooting tool. I know some people have posted that they are having problems with their signals since they have rooted their device. I am one of them as well. I have noticed that my signals is dying constantly and phone is constantly switching between 2G and 3G - installing different version of the OS and different modems and kernels (tried them all) does not help. I do not pretend to know anything about this rooting tool but since it is somehow altering the kernel, is it possible that has caused some of the instability of the signal? It only started after rooting.

Why I say it is a Kernel (that might be related to rooting) issue it is because I have recently installed Adam kernel by Wanam version 1.5 on my n910c and to my big surprise, I stopped having all of the signal issues. Adam kernel fixed it. I am not sure if the fix was intentional by the developer but somehow it is fixed. My signal is way more stable and I am able to hold 3G and LTE signal in places where I could not before.

Anyone get this error on the recovery screen after trying to unroot? :

I CF rooted and flashed several roms, now I have to send this back for warranty work and unrooted by flashing a sammobile NK4 via Odin. It flashes just fine, boots up with no sign of root/supersu or anything and the status in settings says Official so I assume it's unrooted.

There is very little info on the internet, but from the little info out there it seems like the root process left something in the kernel which makes it think it has malware/rootkit stuck in the system.

Anyone have any ideas, I'd rather send the phone in as clean as possible to avoid hassles with the warranty exchange. It's a Tmobile N910T.

I think he's trying to retain root. cfauto doesn't flash back the latest recovery for a lot of models and thus kills recovery unless you flash TWRP or CWM over stock. I've opted for TWRP but you could still revert back to the latest stock then use Flashify to make a backup of the latest recovery img. Likewise you can also uncompress the latest firmware and pull the recovery.img file out of it (and flash with Flashify), I believe.
