When you installed xposed installer (assuming this was not from a titanium backup), it should have saved a zip file called, Xposed-Disabler-Recovery.zip to your sdcard or internal memory.

Install it in recovery and it will disable xposed framework so you can figure out which module is not working.

If you don't have it don't ask us. The internet gods just invented Google. Google is your friend.

[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jefsong:
Write protected bootloader mmc_write fail!

I cannot wipe this device no matter what I have tried. It IS rooted (CF-Auto n910P Sprint) but when I flash an .img with Flashify or TWRP or ROM TOOLBOX or even ODIN it appears to flash but sends me right back to TWRP recovery with a message saying: recovery not seandroid enforcing and mmc_write fail. The area that I need to write to needs to be reformatted or repaired but I don't know how or even what program to do this with. I cannot believe that there isn't a way to totally re-format and re-partition like a low level format. The weird thing is that I can still totally use the phone. It's just that if I re-boot it, it returns to the state it was in when the problem started. This means if I add a program or delete a program or change anything, it will all revert back to how it is now after a fresh re-boot.

It just doesn't matter what I do the rom loads right back up. It's as if nothing can be written to the system. Also I noticed when I enter recovery I am getting "recovery not seandroid enforcing".

Here's what I get from ODIN when I try to flash a PIT file and the Stock Firmware:

MMC: mmc_write fail

SECURE CHECK FAIL : PIT

[1] eMMC write fail: ABOOT

and I get this message no matter what I Odin flash:

MMC write fail

Is a way to get past this write protection? It's probably Knox.

Note the succeeded/failed at 0; this comes up almost immediately after I press the START button.

The process from <OSM> Enter CS..... to <OSM> Leave CS... is done BEFORE the phone is connected via USB.

Any ideas?

[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] advancedbasic:
Yes, I would install Samsung Kies to ensure you have the correct Note 4 USB drivers. On a separate note, if it succeeds for you, can you tell me if it wiped any data on your phone? And do you/did you have encryption enabled?

Thank you for the reply. I do not have Kies installed. Will try that after I [re]boot up my slow a$$ Win machine... :eek: :rolleyes:

As far as encryption I do not believe that I have encrypted my device but will double check.... and looks like the answer is NO it's not encrypted.

I don't like the idea of losing OTA but I just want to get rid of some bloaty bloat..
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] advancedbasic:
I've had all kinds of problems without the right drivers when it comes to rooting etc. so definitely try that and let me know.

I want root so I can use a bunch of apps like Titanium and gain more insight into my battery usage etc. but my T-Mobile Note 4 is currently encrypted and I would like to keep using encryption. So if rooting while encrypted, or disabling encryption, rooting, and re-encrypting causes problems I may hold out for now...
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Monokote:
I hear you... This is the first carrier phone I have had in a very long time... But was tired of the BS surrounding the Nexus 6 launch. Will buy one when the newness wears off...

I've not encrypted my phone before. Does this affect the speed of read/write?

Did you get the Samsung update yet? I check daily but nothing yet... is the check process the same as an OTA update or is there a Sam thing I am missing?
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] advancedbasic:
I got a note 4 for the same reason, but actually like the S-Pen and had a good experience with Samsung phones previously so I'm pretty satisfied aside from some random battery drain issues that I want to root to pinpoint more precisely.

Encryption usually does affect the read/write speed but seeing as I usually encrypt my devices, I guess I'm used to it? My phone is definitely not slow by any stretch of the imagination though... I think the tradeoff is worth it.

Not sure on the update -- I didn't know there was one out (isn't 5.0 a few months away?) but did an update check now and don't see anything.

[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] advancedbasic:
I guess I'll keep an eye out for that update then. I think I figured out that my battery drain was caused by Unified Daemon, but randomly killing processes and waiting for improvement is no way to precisely solve a problem. So I guess I'll wait around to see if Chainfire or someone else with clear knowledge on this subject can weigh in about rooting an encrypted T-Mobile Note 4 with CF Autoroot and whether or not I'll lose data...
