Yea, i was typing on my phone late night so i didnt write what i did correctly. This is what i did and have. Im on stock ANK4, rooted with Chain fire, and have TWRP recovery. I also made sure that under TWRP settings the check MD5 option is off. So i did follow the instructions carefully. Its just weird that no matter what zip file I try to flash, it stops at the MD5 check.

---------- Post added at 07:25 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:24 AM ----------

I did not think about that but I just checked and its not on. Not sure why its not taking. Im on stock ANK4, rooted with Chain fire, and have TWRP recovery. I also made sure that under TWRP settings the check MD5 option is off.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
What twrp are you using? If your following the instructions properly and merely mistyped then twrp is your limiting factor...for flashing if you Odin autoroot

Its the latest TWRP recovery. I flashed TWRP through Odin. Im just gonna go back to basic stock firmware and start the whole process.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] ahm.elghazaly:
For the life of me I can't get the battery life that most users on FK10 are getting.

I followed op2 and clean flashed multiple times.

The Only thing I never did was format the SD card. I even bought a new battery after a fellow member suggested that.

I tried stock kernel and custom kernels and it didn't make a difference. I also have Amplify installed with some of the recommended alarms and wakelocks limited. I also have as well a moto 360 connected almost all day.

I would greatly appreciate it if somebody can take a look at these screenshots and maybe help me pin point where he/she thinks the problem is.

[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
What am I missing here dude it looks fine...your at 1.5 hours screen on with 13 hours total and still at 61% with a Moto 360 attached...wheres the issue?

The basic standards for fk...you see most people just follow op2 and let it settle no amplify or jacking with system

Always stock kernel

Never use power saving

Don't freeze or screw with system

Clean flash

Greenify user apps only

Theres no secret hidden trick but all looks fine so I'm not sure what you're after?...

Mega
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] ahm.elghazaly:
Thanks for your reply mega, my SOT never reaches the 6 hrs limit. Please don't get me wrong I'm not complaining about the rom. I just think my setup is the problem and thought that it might be something that I'm missing. Wakelocks and such.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
Well especially if you're running a Moto 360...which are huge drains...idk if 6 hours is some special mark you're trying to hit for some reason or merely arbitrarily but just adjust your setup or lower brightness

Dude that would be amazing to have them drop the x2 in the states with proper full lte coverage...not gonna lie tho...planning on ordering a euro/asian one day 1 lol...along with the talkband b2. ..getting the white silver combo...super excited man gotta be honest

Mega
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] xxboarderxx:
I'll chime in here since I am one that has gotten over 9 hours of screen time w/o Greenify or Amplify. This was having Gear 2 attached, then wireless headphones for about 2 hours, 1 hour of BT for car, some Netflix and other daily phone use. My brightness is either 0 or +5. At night, it is -5. I have wifi, BT, mobile data and GPS on at all times.

Mega is right, there is no secret. I did exactly what he posted (minus the greenify) in op2. I have a black background so I'm not sure how much of a difference that makes. I also don't have facebook or anything that keeps the phone awake. Wakelocks are pretty much NIL unless it is necessary (ie. Gear 2, Google)

Dunno what else to say...
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] ahm.elghazaly:
Thanks for chiming in bro. Just uninstalled Facebook and switched location to GPS. I'll keep trying to adjust my setup. Your setup is definitely a bench mark man, cheers.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] xxboarderxx:
No problem. Here to help if needed. I was actually surprised myself when I got that much screen time with 28 hours of use. One other thing I forgot to mention was that I have Multicore CPU Control Pro installed. Not sure if you are aware of the app but you can set the governor on 4 CPUs and change the clock speed. I have it set at 1036 min/2649 max and governor at interactive.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] ahm.elghazaly:
I'll definitely give this a shot. Did you change these settings for all CPUs?
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] xxboarderxx:
Yup
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] ar2o:
Thanks for your input :) and you still get a ton of battery life with those clock speeds! Wow :) mine is set at 300 mhz min/max and to be honest ... it's not even slow! After following OP2 from a clean flash, I do not think I even need to go beyond those speeds!! :p
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] xxboarderxx:
You have yours set at 300 max?
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] pstarkey001:
If I order one…wondering if it could be unlocked to work on us carrier? I've never been stoked about a phone ? this much before. Lol
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] javisuhfiks:
So I went back to stock and then proceeded to follow the steps again. I rooted using ChainFire root. All went well. I then installed TWRP recovery 2.8.1.1. I then went ahead and tried to flash FireKat v10 and I got the same thing as last time. Checked MD5, found nothing and it finished flashing. Of course it did not take, it just bootloaps on the black note 4 screen. I had to Odin back to stock. I did make sure that the check MD5 option on TWRP was not check on. Not sure what else to do. Maybe I am downloading corrupt FireKat files? Not sure though...I tried various versions as well and they all end up the same, stopping at the MD5 check.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
No I doubt it's the files man tbh or several thousand people that downloaded the same file would have issues and I haven't heard of any flashing issues on all 5 n4 variant firekat builds...the only other thing I could think is twrp. ..I'm still using the original twrp on my n4...idk if your familiar with flashing but it's all pretty strait forward if you followed my op step by step...

You have a tmo n4 right? And downloaded the proper firekat and twrp for your device? That's the only other thing is wrong files/device or twrp

Mega
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
Most international devices are SIM unlocked...only us carriers seem to pull that crap lol

Mega
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] javisuhfiks:
Yea, not my first time flashing so I am sure all files are for TMobile Note 4. It must be something with TWRP. What version of TWRP do you have?
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] pstarkey001:
Go figure…smh ? lol
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
I'm using the original 2.8.0.1 or whatever it was

Mega
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] javisuhfiks:
What version of TWRP did yo use? I used 2.8.1.1 and its not working. That is the only thing I can think of that is not letting it flash correctly. I have tried going back to stock and root with chainfire and then trwp. But i get the same result, not taking correctly.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] ar2o:
My apologies. I use setCPU as it is recommended ok op2. I never configured the app Upon first launch it was at 300/3650 min/max, interactive/cfq, so I left it that way. I use it to check my battery temperature only. To be honest it's fast as it is and battery efficient, I'm on 35 hr usage, 4 hr screen on time, 20% battery left. What is the difference between row and cfq again?
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] ElMadre:
Why not use the latest (2.8.5.0)? I have it and it works fine. Sounds like TWRP is probably not your issue, but it's worth a try.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Face_Plant:
What condition is your battery in? I couldn't hit over 4 hours SOT with my original battery but after replacing it I get 6 hours or more every charge. Is your Note brand new out of the box? If so your battery may need a few cycles to break in. I got like 3 hours SOT until like the 4th or 5th charge then the battery really started to kick ass. How long ago did you flash FireKat? It takes a couple of days to break in too.

Do you use fast charging or any sort of 2 amp wall adapters? Those will degrade your battery faster than you can say "FireKat". I only charge my phone wirelessly or with my laptop. If I absolutely have to plug in I use my 1 amp charger from my Galaxy Nexus. Lower amperage does take longer, but if you charge at night who cares? It's much kinder to your battery and it will last a lot longer.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] xxboarderxx:
Ummm...not going to read through several older posts but just wondering if you have tried TWRP 2.8.1.0 instead? I've flashed FK 6 through 10 with 2.8.1.0 and have had zero issues.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] ar2o:
The standard outlet charger that comes with the phone and the usb cable is what I use. Samsung has there products certified for quality so I do not think that the original authentic samsung wall charger and usb so I do not think there products would degrade your battery if thats whats recommended to use. I do agree that the fast charging will degrade battery life since your pumping 2x the volts into your battery for the first 50%. I'm not too sure about the wireless charging tho, no experience with that.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Face_Plant:
The charger that came with the phone comes with should be ok, but I'm extra paranoid and use a lower amperage charger just for fun. For the wireless changing I only use official Samsung stuff because it's designed for this phone so it should to be safe compared to cheap Chinese crap on eBay that some people use. I've been using wireless charging for about 10 months on 2 different phones and it's the best thing ever.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] javisuhfiks:
I'll try it. Someone else mentioned that version and said it worked fine.

I think I might have found my battery life problem. Under better battery stats it shows screen mirroring taking up about 20% of the battery. I never have it on period but when I checked it was clicked on, I click it off, back out, but when I go back in its on again and searching. Wtf. I froze it via titanium so hopefully this helps. Any ideas why this is happening? Anyone else having this problem?
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
Hahah no worries man it's a bit of a trick...it actually is off until you open it which actually toggles mirroring on...I remember hearing someone else had an app or mod a while back that made it run and freezing worked for them

I completely lost my tits last month and downloaded all 9 seasons of the office, then House of Cards season 3 in HD. That's on top of downloading and switching roms on my Tab S 9 times.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
That may work on tmo as well...it's probably the only way left to try if they actually enforce the system tracking

Mega
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] javisuhfiks:
Not sure...

So I have tried different things and none seem to flash the ROM. I returned to stock ANK4. I then rooted with ChainFire using ODIN. I then installed TWRP 2.8.1.0 with ODIN. I wiped cache, dalvik, data, system like it says. The i went to install the ROM and i get this.

installing " '/data/media/0/Firekat(add the numbers).zip

checking for MD5

skipping MD5 check: no MD5 file found

script succeeded: result was [/data]

updating partition details...

It does it very quick which i am sure should take at least 15 seconds or more. If i then reboot it will go to the black Galaxy Note 4 screen and vibrate. it will bootloop to this over and over. not sure what else to do. I have tried different versions of TWRP, from the new 2.8.5.0 to 2.8.1.0. I am know the check MD5 option is off also.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
It almost seems like when you root and Odin flash supersu on stock ank4 that youre not going in and installing supersu binaries into ank4 before flashing twrp...

Open supersu...hit continue...then normal...then reboot the device when prompted...once booted power back off and into download for Odin twrp...ect?

This is the only times i think I've ever seen twrp punt a proper flash...

Don't get the 8.4 too similar in size. I have the Tab S 10.5. I've been jumping back and forth from cm12 and Iron rom (stock based) battery is stupid.. Absolutely crazy.

Once you're rooted and have twrp installed, wipe, system,data,dalvik and cache, then install rom! Unless it's a bad download, download again and it should work. also make sure twrp is on the latest version.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] KRHairston:
I like the smaller form factors better than the larger ones. Figured I would upgrade my Nexus based on better specs with Tab S.

XBMC to best describe it would be like Popcorn time on steroids. It has add-ons that has been developed so you can watch links from different sources without having to visit the actual Web pages. Also can watch live stream TV from it. Great app. There are some good YouTube videos out that explain it better than I really can.
