Help?

I tried flashing "openrecovery-twrp-2.8.1.1-trltetmo.img.tar" In ODIN but it doesn't seem to do anything. What am I doing wrong?

Yep, mine is saying that now too, what seems more likely UPS lost the shipment of Note 4 devs or samsung printed out labels and is pretending to have lost them because they dont have them :p
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] Uvfriend:
More it looks like Samsung screwed up big times... But let's wait and see what happens next...
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] csstamatin:
Agreed! Lol
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] jam2315:
I'm hoping we know something by next week. Get some in stock so i can order one already lol. I didn't use the loop hole to place the order because I was unsure what would happen and figured I'd be waiting anyways so here's to the waiting game :beer:

Reboot into recovery....twrp should boot up.

[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] ACiDxCHRiST:
Why are you flashing the T-Mobile version when there is a Verizon version now?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] zman2107:
Even when you find another carriers ROM that works u won't have service even if u fix the APN I won't all work proper without a patch
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] ebrinkis:
Agree! To make it easier for you, here is the link:

Trying to be helpful as I don't know your experience level, excuse me if it is too basic:

When flashing initially, have Auto Reboot Checked in Odin

To boot into recovery: phone off, then press home, volume up and on/off all at once.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] Zekial:
I got it. Didnt go through the first time for some reason. Thanks for the help!
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] Romans8vs1:
I just spoke to them and the rep told me they "expect a shipment in the next 2 days to a couple of weeks"! I wonder why there is such a short supply and why they have no idea when more will be ready? I'm tempted to go buy the retail version.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] pego99:
I hope someone makes a sticky soon as to the steps to root the DE. Yes I know its all here within the 50+ pages but it would be easier if the steps and links were in one sticky.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] jpcalhoun:
If you have a Developer Edition Note 4 go to the Android Development Section. There is a thread there that is a step by step.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] mjlewis0102:
Way past tempted. Getting another retail one today. Cant go too long without my phone.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] oneandroidnut:
dont do it. actually go get retail cause as soon as you do it will be available!!
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] Mibuix0r:
but how do you use a phone if it doesnt have root?!
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] Castanoff:
I wonder how many they had sold be for they switched to back order...
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] mjlewis0102:
Too late. Im meeting the guy right after work. I couldn't wait. If DE comes out...I have the cash to buy it. then I will resell this one . It's like crack...I gotta have it. lol

Same question I asked. But changing my launcher to Nova launcher and installing FoxFi... that gets me through the week.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] oneandroidnut:
I tried to buy a note 4 for $500 last night but sold for $580 before i could figure something out. and i have the money read for dev just need stock!
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] pego99:
Just tried to call sammy to check on my Nov 1 order after a long wait I got 2 reps simultaneously I hung up. Jeesh
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] mjlewis0102:
Yep. I am buying this one for $375 plus a trade with a 7" Verizon tablet that I don't use (he wanted $500 cash).
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] pego99:
Turn it on and use it. Root has nothing to do with using a phone. (Assuming this is a serious question :))
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] oneandroidnut:
yeah i offered $400 cash and my s3 and he wanted more cash and i said no lol
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] mjlewis0102:
So what do you think will come out first....Root for retail..or Dev restock?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] oneandroidnut:
dev restock
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] Mibuix0r:
haha I was definitely kidding, but I would rather have my note 3 with root than a note 4 without :D
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] Castanoff:
I am still on my SG3 unlocked and rooted.... The back order is killing me.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] pego99:
Who is selling note4 DE this way?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] LagunaTechie:
Just curious, when did everybody place their requests for the Note 4 Dev? If you have received one, how long was it until you were actually able to purchase the phone?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] mithusingh32:
I placed order (Oct. 28) I think about a day or two after it "officially" went on sale (I had cached website but my credit card company was being stupid). Paid for next day, but never got tracking number. So I called about 24 hours after I placed order. Found out they never shipped it, so I got next day deliver and my original shipping fee refunded. The day they shipped it, I think, it went out of stock.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] tfly212:
Oct 23rd for me...still showing backordered.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] GreenGoblin227:
Bought mine the 27th 65pm est, got it the 29th
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] LagunaTechie:
That sucks. :(
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] csstamatin:
I ordered and paid for mine on the 28. Got a shipping number, but it hasn't moved or done anything since the 30. Hopefully it'll be solved soon as it looks like they might have lost it/found it. Or they are not sending it cause they sold me something they don't have in stock.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] commissionerg:
I purchased it the day it officially became in stock (last wed) and I received it on this Monday.

Is it OK to install busy box from the play store? I want to install viper4android and it says that I need busy box.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] manbat:
They are even "backordered" on the accessories that I tried to get with the promo code that I got for registering at Samsung.com , I ordered one of the "official " rough cases and the portable battery charger cases with extra battery.

[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] GirLuvsDroid:
Yes, you can use the Busybox from the Play store.

Sent from my Verizon Note 4 Developer Edition.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] herrdrjonz:
I only bothered to look at this thread today after having a Note 4 from Amazon for a couple of days. Had no clue that for the same price I could have a DEV edition direct from Samsung. How I hate to return my phone but I'd be an idiot not to. That being said what if Samsung is out of stock for months? Oddly, Amazon says I get until January to return the phone. I don't get that either.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] jam2315:
Samsung customer service has told a few people either this weekend or next week so we are all hoping so we can get our order in!! I check the website probably 10 to 15 times a day just to see.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] Castanoff:
Same here.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] ACiDxCHRiST:
I waited to purchase it until it *officially* went on sale at $699.

Order placed on Oct 28, 2014, 11:34 PM

Shipping Confirmation received on Oct 30, 2014, 10:18 AM

UPS picked up package on Oct 30, 2014, 6:57 PM

UPS delivered package on Oct 31, 2014, 1:24 PM

That was with standard shipping, not 2-day or overnight or whatever the $20 option was, but it was only going from Dallas to Houston anyways. I checked the website again about 12 hours after I placed my order and saw that it was back-ordered, so their initial stock didn't even last 24 hours.

DevEd Note 4

+TWRP

+Root

+WanamXposed

+TitaniumBackup

-Bloatware

=AWESOME

Best phone on the planet at the moment. Don't settle for retail, I feel for the ones still waiting.

I actually got 2 Shipping Confirmation and tracking number emails 1 minute apart. The first tracking number never got picked up and in fact still says Order Processed: Ready for UPS, but the 2nd tracking number was indeed my phone. At first I thought they double billed me or were sending me 2 phones for the price of 1 but that turned out to not be the case :(
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] Mibuix0r:
Same, my package is now under investigation at UPS so Samsung can stall for time :mad:
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] GirLuvsDroid:
I ordered mine at 7:00 AM on October 27, using the cached page, at the $662.53 price (regular 3-5 day free shipping rather than overnight, since I wanted to make sure root was confirmed before I got mine), got my shipping confirmation on October 28 at 11:31 AM and received my device on October 31 at 2:38 PM. I ODIN'd TWRP (made a backup) and installed SuperSU (made another backup) before I even started the phone set-up wizard.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] The-Chief:
Ordered Verizon Note 4 Retail on September 27th

Received Verizon Note 4 Retail on October 22nd

Back-ordered Verizon Note 4 DE on October 23rd

Got Back-order confirmation of the Note 4 DE on the 23rd

Returned Note 4 Retail to Verizon on the 30th

Received wrong phone (Note 3 DE)on the 30th

Sent it back, with both original and brand new backorders for Note 4 DE still sitting there at Samsung.

Maybe I'll get one Note 4 DE (or two) before the danged Note 5 comes out :p
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] sprintuser1977:
That sucks dude, sorry to hear. You would think in this day and age this kind of thing would not happen.

I personally believe all you being screwed around should be compensated some how for this debacle
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] Castanoff:
I am afraid that when the Dev edition gets back in stock that it will sell out within minutes and I wont get one.

Called them again to ask when they will get them back in and they said some time next week and maybe try calling Monday to see when they might get them back in... Gave me a story about shipping issues...
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] skillzo1:
Yeahp...i called the dude that has been handling my case. He said they was expecting them in yesterday or today. Today i called to see if they came in and he replied there was a shipping delay and now they are expecting them sometime next week. Un ****ing believable. I have never been run around so much by a company. Such a huge company that doesnt have any of their **** together. I asked the guy that has been handling my case for a slight discount on the phone due to the run around and the frustration that this has brought me. He replied saying that only corporate can grant that and send me a link to samsung corporate which only responds to emails and no phone number is listed. Tried looking for a number for corporate on google. Found one and was transfered to 3 different people only to be told to call the number that ive been talking to since the problem originated. Im extremely pissed off. Ive waisted alot of time. And im currently using my girls phone because i sold mine thinking it woulda been here a week ago when it was suppose to be.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] pego99:
I am frustrated with them too so I am buying a iphone 6 plus instead.... only kidding but then again as there is a IOS 8.1 jailbreak out.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] Castanoff:
If I was going to get something besides this it would have to be the Nexus 6.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] pego99:
The problem with the nexus 6 is the camera is not as good as the N4 or the 6 plus.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] mrlaigle:
That's my issue issue as well.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] igknight:
I've got a Nikon D800 camera, not really looking for a camera phone.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] pego99:
I have a Nikon D4S but I don't want to carry it around all the time. Since I always have my cell phone with me I also want the best cell phone camera. Kapish.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] igknight:
Wile its not always on me, its normally very close. I wouldn't let a bad camera on a phone stop me from getting it.

There are two reasons I finally ruled out the Nexus 6. No SPen, and I really need Xposed Framework, and that may not work on Lollipop.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] pego99:
What does exposed framework do?

---------- Post added at 12:31 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:30 AM ----------

My galaxy s5 now takes pretty good pics but it's not dslr
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] igknight:
http://repo.xposed.info

It allows you to install modules made by others that can do more at the system level.

XPrivacy is the main reason I can't live without it. It allows you to say what permissions a program can have. I can deny games or other programs from getting my location, contacts, phone id, etc...
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] LagunaTechie:
So i just called SAMSUNG to inquire about the status of by back-order, and the rep said "Sorry, we are not able to look up the status of back-orders". What???? Really??

I don't know if anyone else if having this problem, but whenever I go to look up the status of my order online, the page at "www.samsung.com/us/support/account" just continually reloads after I log in. I'm not able to view my order status.

Well this is great...
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] mrlaigle:
Back orders are not really backorders. They are placebos. They do not hold the item for you in the backorder sense you are thinking of. They are only a "hey notify me when it's here" kinds thing.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] jam2315:
We just gotta keep calling and checking the website guys. It's definitely gonna sell out quickly I just hope they don't take more orders than stock they get it so others aren't stuck getting the run around like we are now. It's so frustrating. When I called I got the same generic answer as everyone's been getting....should be nxt week....no way to track our delivery....shipment got delayed....blah blah blah
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] Castanoff:
I know.... That is why I check the site like every hour.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] bzd0730:
No cheaper
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] tfly212:
Same here...page automatically refreshes repeatedly.

I guess you can't really expect much since Samsung is a small start up...still working the kinks out.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] manbat:
Don't use the link to check backorder right now. It is doing it to me too. Here is how I accessed my accessory "backorder" (On Computer) Go to Samsung.com, sign in, open cart in a new tab, go to accessory cart. A blank page will show up....then refresh the tab...works every time for me..:) I am checking regulary for my "official" phone case and extra battery with recharger case.....They were also put in backorder after I tried to use the 50% off promo code that Samsung sent me after I registered my DE. Hope they get back in stock before the promo code goes "out of date".... lol.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] neva4self:
It's a little ridiculous that they weren't more prepared for this release. There are so many people complaining about their already paid for back order. Then you have people like myself who are going to place the order as soon as the DE becomes available again. It's going on a month since the Verizon release date and I'm upgrading from a Note 2, how long does Samsung expect us wait around before jumping ship for a different phone model? Lol
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] VirgilWoods:
At least you don't have a defective DE on your hands.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] neva4self:
You or others have a defective DE? Wow I must have missed that post. Are a lot of people experiencing defective DE's?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] ebrinkis:
Traditionally, they only sell 50 or so DE's. I think there were only about 30 Note 3 DE's sold. Most people want subsidized phones with warranties and replacement policies, not no warranty cash purchases. I think Samsung was surprised by the volume of requests.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] teegunn:
I am surprised. I would have thought the amount of DE's would have had a couple more zeroes attached to the end of those numbers. I think the N4 will sell more DE's with the N4 Retail being locked down like Fort Knox and root looking bleak. I am sticking with my N3 because of these issues. My N3 is rooted, running xposed modules and any bloat I don't want frozen. SDM auto-updating is also frozen so I don't get a borked phone on an OTA. Sadly, while I really wanted the N4, the retail version with 4.4.4 locks up to many things I need running on my phone. I would even consider the Retail N4 if not for the SD card issue, which is only fixable via root, as I have fixed on my rooted N3. All that being said, I would probably still buy the Dev Edition N4 if I actually could, but it sounds like they are in such short supply that is not a viable option. Hoping Samsung makes far more Dev Edition N4's and they become available again, but even then for $700 I am iffy on whether it is an upgrade worthy of $700.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] gaff15:
Looks like there's a note 4 dev on ebay now
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] ebrinkis:
Lolipop which is a scheduled OTA update for standard Note 4's has a fixed / open external SD card. Those people who hate the SD card issue will be happy, but the phone will still be locked down.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] jpcalhoun:
I haven't heard of any defective DEs.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] pego99:
Doesn't the asurian warranty cover the DE?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] neva4self:
Does that mean that there is a strong possibility that they won't even manufacture enough DE's to supply demand? If so, thats BS. I have unlimited data so the price doesn't really concern me anyway because no matter which phone I get I'm going to coming out of pocket. If they don't reup on these DE's soon I think they lost a Note fan here.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] igknight:
Same here. Going to get what comes out first probably, Note 4 Dev or Nexus 6. Will just have to suffer without Xposed :(
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] tfly212:
Starting to feel the same way...Samsung and Google are racing here...they just don't know it.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] neva4self:
It should, every phone I've owned since they did away with the unlimited data plan has been off contract and I've been able to insure every single one of them. The problem would be that a replacement phone wouldn't be a DE device.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] GreenGoblin227:
I've don't know how Samsung does there sales, but I feel its strange I ordered after some members here and I got mine before them. Maybe it was the overnight shipping.

Just odd.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] csstamatin:
So now I am extremely pissed. And I advise anyone with a messed up order to check their bank accounts. I just did and the refunded my de purchase. Without an email or phone call, I prob have no way of getting my device now except for waiting like everyone else for them to be back in stock and try to get in on time again. First thing Monday Samsung corporate and accessories dept are getting one pissed off caller.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] jam2315:
I wonder how much the one on ebay will end up going for lol. I have a strange feeling they're not gonna get a big restock of them anyways and alot of people are gonna miss out. I hope I get my order in tho lol

---------- Post added at 06:51 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:51 PM ----------

This makes me think they know it's going to be a while before they get anymore in and they just aren't telling us :mad:
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] VirgilWoods:
Brother unfortunately mine is in the fritz. It's slow, like 6 year old hardware trying to run 4.4.4 slow. Like can't get nice shiny games to not chug slow. Like wait an hour for your open apps list to show up slow.

I have no idea if it's software or hardware because I won't take the risk of voiding the only chance of returning it. Have to wait for a replacement model.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] teegunn:
That is not a given about Lollipop reinstating SD card use. In fact, I will believe it when I see it. Until then, I will remain skeptical. I do believe Google gimping the SD card usage in Kitkat was to do a test run and see how many people noticed or complained. I hope the backlash has been strong enough for them to remedy this in Lollipop, if not, I myself may end up ditching Android. If you are listening Google, don't make the mistake of becoming crApple.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] sprintuser1977:
I too have been thinking lately reading up on the way Google is heading and they do appear to be heading in crapple's direction.

If they do, imo it would be a self inflicted wound. Lots of people like Android because it isn't lockville Inc like them. Guess we will see soon enough
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] Boss428man:
There is a 1 year warranty just like the retail version and a 30 day return policy on the DE.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] The-Chief:
I called Samsung and the customer service goddess was very nice but insisted that Samsung does NOT sell phones directly... that I have to check with Verizon.

WRONG ANSWER!

Well, she said that Samsung Mobile Accessories MIGHT sell it (that explains why it's listed as an Accessory and not a Phone) and they're open Monday-Friday. So it's yet ANOTHER day to wait and see if my order ever goes through. If you're in the same situation, Mobile Accessories number is (800) 757-0280. Not sure when they open tomorrow but they're definitely closed today.

Just let me call first so I can get my order in before they're sold out of stock :silly:
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] droidrev71:
i can't locate the phone on their site?? i know it was pulled so how are you guys finding it?

edit: i am having trouble cause i never had it in my cart? i never placed an order so no back order to check..oh well
