TWRP Recovery

Hey fellow Dev owners (or soon to be). This info should probably be in the Android Development Section but I'll post it here anyway. I just checked the TWRP website and they are supporting the Note 4 on T-Mobile and Sprint. I have asked them if they would support the Verizon Note 4 Dev Edition. I keep you posted with what the answer is. If we have TWRP recovery, root is not far behind.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] mrlaigle:
Looks like they mass released them. I ordered mine yesterday before the 4pm overnight cut off. I hope mine is on a truck coming to my house today. But probably not until tomorrow.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] skillzo1:
Shipped today will be here friday.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] GirLuvsDroid:
The price has now gone up to $699.00, so those of us who ordered yesterday were lucky.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] mrlaigle:
I figured they were getting ready to post/ restore the order page to Samsung.com
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] skillzo1:
i knew they was doin that. Got a link? Just curious to see it.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] holycow1:
Same, shipped today will be here Friday. Huzzah!

[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] shpotik:
Sucks! Wish I ordered mine yesterday
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] Jefffet27:
I want to express a big personal thanks to GirLuvsDroid for posting the link that saved me $38.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] GirLuvsDroid:
You're welcome, but I have to give credit to [MENTION=2193554]fz798[/MENTION], who posted the link that directed me to find the cached page and order from there in the first place.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] irmoballen:
Anyone else that got tracking yesterday not have any updates on the UPS page?

I ordered overnight shipping, and the UPS page said it'd be here today, but it hasn't updated past the "label created" stage.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] fz798:
Exactly same for me, UPS says label only, but yet delivery by COB today.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] Jefffet27:
Then KUDOS to fz798 for looking out for the community!
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] fz798:
And likewise, I have to pass the credit to [MENTION=2554991]urmcgwy[/MENTION] who posted the original solution.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] jpcalhoun:
Me too, thanks thanks urmcgwy.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] mrlaigle:
I'm going to guess all overnight deliveries were held until tomorrow as the site went live today...
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] oneandroidnut:
What you mean existing back orders? It doesnt work like that if you dont order when its in stock you missed it. it doesnt put you in a queue for next available
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] tfly212:
Yeah that backorder business is horsesh#t. I still have a backorder sitting out there from 10/23. When the last batch were available I got no word from Samsung. I found out that people were able to add to cart one day from this thread and jumped on it.

In short, having a backordered unit in your Samsung account means nothing.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] oneandroidnut:
yup correct i actually got my backorder notice after they were sold out lol
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] hacksaw999:
Heh, I managed to buy one during the second round but I never did get a back order notice. Fortunately I made it a habit to check the website every day.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] oneandroidnut:
Yup yup I'm looking to buy another and I check it everyday. As soon it's there give me another haha
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] ebrinkis:
Ditto, now that mine is set up and running, my wife has to have one... In all fairness, I asked her first go around if she wanted one and she said no... so now I'm waiting again for another Dev Ed!
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] oneandroidnut:
Exactly man I want one to put roms on and one to run daily and then sell one lol

Hello community friends. I've been gone for the last few weeks, unfortunately a beautiful holiday was preceded with a family tribulation which captured my attention. I wish you all a happy and safe holiday season and coming new year. Apologies for my absence. I was not able to accomplish anything new.

Since I have been gone, what has since been accomplished through communal efforts?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] tfly212:
Welcome back...happy holidays to you as well.

Biggest news of late is Firekat V7 is available for our device. Been running it for a week...fantastic ROM. Very fast and zero stutters. Check out the beginning of the thread in the T-Mobile dev section.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] icon123:
Where did you get firekat from? I don't see it anywhere. Thanks.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] tfly212:
It is only listed in the TMO dev forum per the dev's request. Below are the steps I took to flash and some other info...been running great for over a week.

yes do it from the coputer it comes up differently on the browser, I am currently downloading it now
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] tfly212:
Yes...sorry...should have said do this on a PC. Something funky with that cloud storage that doesn't work well with mobile browsers.

Let me know how it goes. I am a big fan of the ROM
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] shpotik:
Ok that makes sense now. Cuz I was like umm...I'm not that bad of a noob lol. Thanks I'll try it later when I get to my laptop.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] Kevins89notch:
Hmmm, interesting. I may have to give that a try here Tuesday since I'm off. Thanks.

Per the instructions.... "Odin the NJ5 base (if still on AN1)"

What exactly is NJ5 vs AN1 referring to? Looks like the build number? Mine ends in ANI1 it looks like. Are their any instructions to Odin the NJ5 base? I'm already rooted, so I have TWRP, and know how to reboot to that and flash. It's the prior steps I'm a little lost on.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] shpotik:
Yes you have to odin this nj5 .tar file https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=95857557620392097 you have to unzip the file with 7zip before you Odin this.

Then Odin twrp and flash SuperSU via twrp. Now you are ready for this ROM

I would be very careful with everything you do just to be safe.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] tfly212:
Elaborating on what shpotik said...NJ5 is the latest stock Verizon build. Firekat is based off that build. The flashing of this new stock build means it will be unrooted and only have stock recovery so you need to flash twrp in Odin and then flash SU in twrp after you update the software (also via Odin). Full steps can be found via the Definitive ROM thread included in my post below.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=26

You don't have to do the aboot backup but it is the ultimate failsafe if something goes wrong and you need to re-unlock your boot loader. Very unlikely you will ever need it but its probably a good idea before you start odining files.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] zman2107:
I cant get the link to work can u pm me a dropbox link of you download or somthing please. [emoji3]
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] tfly212:

Ok set browser on desktop veiw then open click the download button above the file and waiting for it to finish. Thanks agian.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] bdorr1105:
To elaborate you don't have to flash supersu at all unless you plan on staying stock.. It's an extra unneeded step because you are going to do a wipe before you flash the new ROM which is already rooted.....

Also ensure you are flashing the stock restore and not the full firmware or you will lock your bootloader... I advise backing up your aboot like I have so just in case you Odin the wrong tar you have hope to unlock your bootloader....

Odin the nj5 stock restore, Odin twrp then you are ready to Flash the already rooted rom that has supersu... Good luck

Keep in mind you will need Xposed and Wanam if you want the way reboot.... I am on definitive ROM because of that and 3minit and because I thought it had all those features of the other ROMs but it is a 4x4 launcher but description shows 4x5 rebuilt TW launcher so I was not convinced it was like the Tmobile based ROM, so I stuck with definitive ROM and tweaked it like his Op2 such as turning off 2D Rendering, changing animation to 0.5x and turning off DVS in Wanam
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] oneandroidnut:
anybody successfully flash NJ5 on a developer edition yet?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] bdorr1105:
Yes for a while now

Let me know what you think of that firekat rom I could not tell what was modded, stock system did not have issues with predictive text until I went to a custom rom like definitive and firekat.... Definitve already had the flashlight toggle, 3minit battery and launcher right out of the gate...

Firekat is bone stock and I saw it was supposed to have a rebuilt 4x5 launcher and I didn't see it so I wasn't sure what was what... Let me know

Yes predictive text is still an issue

[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] bdorr1105:
Cool thanks for the update? Does it even feel modded or just bone stock?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] zman2107:
It feels pretty bone stock for being v7 and a dev that develops for so many differnt devices. Allthough its hard to say what under the hood tweeks are there
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] bdorr1105:
Do you want the 4 way boot menu I am working on the android.policy.jar for that right now for that ROM and can fix prediction on the keyboard and air command
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] bobbarker2:
Yeah I was looking at Firekat for DE and it's hard to say what's been changed. There's nothing in terms of functionality that I've seen so far, was looking at the build.prop and saw some tweaks there but a few of them are known to be useless/not actually in code. So I'm gonna stick with Definitive until I'm given a reason to switch or someone who more patience with me wants to go through Firekat and document whats actually been changed.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] zman2107:
I have some of emspilot mods on firekat but he also update to v1.5 witch has all mods and fixes so i might go back , but i really would to see some one build us cm12 like they have for tmobile and sprint note4's
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] bdorr1105:
Up to you I modded it...I like definitive it's working awesome
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] zman2107:
Back on definitive v 1.5 seems smoother all the time.

Third post in the FireCat ROM thread in the Android Development section of the T-Mobile Note 4 forum. The Dev does not want any direct links to the ROM posted.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] wooddale:
So even though it says T Mobile ROM it's OK to flash on Verizon? That's scarry.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] bdorr1105:
It's not a T-Mobile ROM it's the Verizon base
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] wooddale:
Thanks I better go back and read some more thought it said T Mobile.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] zman2107:
It is a tmobile rom he modded it to work on are DE phones. Make sure you get the right one at the bottom of post 3.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] bdorr1105:
It is in the T-mobile section and it is a T-Mobile ROM.... However he used latest Verizon deodexed base probably got it from EMSpilot and modified it... It is a Verizon ROM but the OP didn't want to manage a bunch of forums so he posted in the T-Mobile thread... You need to Odin the latest base for the developer edition and then flash this ROM in TWRP

Actually post #4....names it a ROM for VZW DEs and gives basic instructions. Since Dev wants no links here is a cropped screen shot stating Verizon Dev Edition.

[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] airmaxx23:
I'd asked a question in the Fire Cat thread about APN settings after flashing the T-Mo ROM to VZW and he replied that he was building one. I found it by messaging him a week or so later.

All of the T-Mo ROMs work there just isn't any data. Once I access the APN settings I can't get them to save if I change MCC and/or MNC. When I hit save the APN isn't there.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] tfly212:
Yep...if you are on NJ5 do a nandroid of Definitive to be safe and then wipe cache, dalvik, system and data before flashing FireKat. Definitive has some more built in tweaks but Firekat is really fast and battery life is excellent. Got 36 hours of uptime and 6.5 hours of SOT with wifi and data enabled the entire time yesterday.

CM12 is being worked on for VZW...but I don't think I will touch Lollipop until Xposed is supported. I rely on a number of modules to get my phone working how I like it.

They will not run unless they are modified.. The kernel and ROM are different... He may have modded them previously to work, but that is not the case anymore... That is why there is a specific link for Verizon and Other variants..... You flash the t-mobile version guarantee your phone won't boot...... It has to be modified for it to work..

[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] airmaxx23:
I don't think it will help since the apps just give you access to the settings, the problem is getting them to save, specifically the MCC and MNC settings. Once they are changed and I try to save it goes back to the APNs screen and the APN is not there. You can get to the settings by typing "access" in the search bar in settings section. On the VZW phones it's shown under "more networks" but with T-Mo the setting is hidden.

Stock Developer ROM

I'm about to receive another developer edition, pre-rooted and to avoid making the same mistake of installing a stock verizon rom, does anyone have a TWRP backup of their original rom after they rooted the device? to repeat, what I am looking for is:

A Verizon Note 4 DEVELOPER EDITION TWRP backup that was made AS SOON as they rooted the device, one with the factory included verizon bloatware and stock apps
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] tfly212:
I have a TWRP backup of 4.4.4 bone stock, unrooted that I made immediately after flashing TWRP via Odin the day I got my device. It isn't rooted, but that just takes flashing SU. PM me an email address and I can send you a dropbox link to download it if you want it. Of course all the standard disclaimers would apply...not my fault if you brick, etc.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] bdorr1105:
Why do you need that? That is Odin flashable and has all the Verizon bloat... Unnecessary... Just pay attention what is for DE and what is for retail
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] bobbarker2:
There are two partitions that aren't replaceable/recoverable from a samsung odin tar. Those are aboot and efs, they both contain device specific info. So no one can give you a backup of those, you have to make them yourself when you get the phone. The rest of the partitions, system/data/etc, can be flashed back to stock using samsung's firmware.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] skillzo1:
guys i have a stupid question. If i change my sd card, do i have to download tarp through odin again? Or is there a different way of doing it. I only ask cause i didn't actually do the odin process on my phone, someone else did it for me. This is my first time rooting so i'm not sure.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] tfly212:
No you won't but if you have any backups saved on the SD card you will have to move them to the new card if you ever need to restore one. You may also need to map the new location of the backups in Preferences within TWRP.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] skillzo1:
Thanks tfly
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] oilfighter:
I'm curious about this too. It seems like it's been out of stock for a while.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] wooddale:
Don't wait for any notification keep checking I never got notified all of a sudden it was there. There was some kind of deal going on with mine where they used retail editions and turned them to Dev and had to change numbers on box. So there must be an easy to do it if your Sammy lol.

I am running stock ROM on my DE. Have not installed TWRP or rooted it as the TIVO streaming app will not work with rooted phones.

If I want to run Lolypop after it is released for the standard Note 4 how will I get it onto my Note 4 while keeping the bootloader unlocked.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] wavygravee:
You should be able to "hide" your root status. Search for a RootCloak app and then select your TIVO streaming app so that the app won't detect root.

No way tried everything on my rooted galaxy S5. Rootcloak xposed etc. Nothing worked.
