Def no lol.

But you could flash a tmobile based rom with a tmobile based custom kernel and your vr will work.

I recommend either firekat or dynamic kat with the AEL kernel based on Tmo source.

Usb mass storage hasnt worked on android in years i believe without some custom tweaks and far as usb in twrp if you plug in a thumb drive with a usb otg cable and boot into recovery it will shown up..theres no activating anything...it doesnt work the way you think it ought to.

Good morning (or afternoon).

Sorry. I am fairly technically savvy but pretty new to phone "stuff". I ordered the Samsung Gear VR from ebay, and when they arrived, I couldn't get them to work because Rogers has not pushed out the required software. So, it's my understanding that I can switch over to a t-mobile OS/Android version... but I am not 100% sure how to do it.

(1) Root phone (via. CF-Auto-Root-trltecan-trltecan-smn910w8.zip)?

... and then?​

I would really really really appreciate help with this. Here are my device details:

Model: SM-N910W8

Android Version: 4.4.4

Baseband Version: N910W8VLU1ANJ3

Kernel Version: 3.10.0-2817039

Build number: KTU84P.N910W8VLU1ANJ3

SE for Android Status: Enforcing SEPF_SM-N910W8_4.4.4_A019

And the device is unlocked... I purchased the unlock code from Rogers directly.

CSC Won't change?

I followed the instructions by the OP on how to change the CSC but everytime I change it from Bell to Rogers (RWC) it still ends up being Bell even after the factory reset.

I've rooted the phone...not sure what I'm missing here...
[Galaxy Note 4 General] salvador3:
Ok so I was able to change to rogers csc when on stock but the moment I switched to firekat it switched back to bell and I couldn't change it back to rogers :/

I think the issue might be because I have TWRP installed as recovery. I was thinking that while on firekat, I can install stock recovery then try to change the csc again. Problem is whenever I try to odin the stock recovery file RECV-N910W8VLU1ANJ3_N910W8OYA1ANJ3.tar.md5 (from http://xdaforums.com/note...overy-t2920452) I get the error message in ODIN:

<OSM> Enter CS for MD5..

<OSM> Check MD5.. Do not unplug the cable..

<OSM> Please wait..

<OSM> MD5 hash value is invalid

<OSM> RECV-N910W8VLU1ANJ3_N910W8OYA1ANJ3.tar.md5 is invalid.

<OSM> End...

How do I flash just the stock recovery???
[Galaxy Note 4 General] nadrojcote:
When I try adding the stock kernel to odin for my nj3 note 4 it says md5 hash value is invalid. Has anyone ran into this? I am trying to revert back to stock kernel.

[Galaxy Note 4 General] CerebroJD:
I'm getting a successful flash of the TWRP recovery in Odin, but when I reboot into recovery on the device, the stock recovery is there. Is it being over-written somehow?

Edit: I do not have root, I am currently completely stock. Recovery was going to be my first step.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] sefrcoko:
I rooted first and then then flashed recovery afterwards. Also make sure you have "Reactivation Lock" unticked in your phone's Settings/Security section, as well as "USB Debugging" ticked in the Settings/Developer Options section. Also untick "automatic reboot" in odin before you flash. Try those steps and see if they resolve the issue.

Once rooted, it flashed with no issues.

NSOC and CSC

Looking at the Tmo root and twrp flash guide it doesnt seem to mention any NSOC or CSC anywhere.

So first off

1) Why is NSOC and CSC needed for the canadian variant of root and twrp flash?

2) Is there a specific order of when you should do the CSC and NSOC?

IE: Root then TWRP then ...........etc

Thanks!
[Galaxy Note 4 General] fritolays:
You dont need the NSOC or to change the CSC if all you want is to root & install recovery.

NSOC is for people who want to update their modem/kernel without wiping the system partition.

So root, twrp, and done if thats all you want.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] mikoal:
Tried searching NSOC and no system or cache in xda/google and couldnt find much.

So then if I were to install T-mo's CM, which would require me to change my kernel, then NSOC would be required? But during new ROM install, I usually do full wipe, so would NSOC be used in that case?

In my S3, i would flash modems but never had to use NSOC, is there something different here?

As for CSC, it seems it is used when flashing a ROM (if flashed T-Mo, need to change it back to Can). Seems like even the stock ROM (end up as Bell) and would have to change to Telus or Rogers etc.

What about when your phone is sim unlocked, would I need to change CSC if you switched providers?

Thanks again.

It's like the font is lighter than it's supposed to be or the text is rendered differently. It seems like such a small thing but it's seriously driving me nuts, especially on forums because you can't tell which links were previously clicked on and such.

I even made a thread on another forum and apparently it might be an issue with the ANJ3 version. Unfortunately, meglomanic14 isn't sure about it.

Has anyone successfully used odin to flash the newest AOA1 build on their Canadian Note 4?
[Galaxy Note 4 General] johnmclean:
I'd love an answer to this question too!

I've been checking the chainfire's cf-auto-root page twice a day (every day) since i hastily updated my NOTE 4 to AOA1 without first thinking about the fact that i'd lose root! Unfortunately, Chainfire either doesn't know about this update or hasn't had a chance to release a new ODIN file to support AOA1 yet.

[Galaxy Note 4 General] sharp2G:
Alright! I have confirmed that you can flash the new AOA1 with Odin 3.07 (latest Samsung drivers 1.5.49) then downloaded Chainfire from this thread and download your custom recovery of choice and TA DA! - All done via Odin. Enjoy!
[Galaxy Note 4 General] johnmclean:
That's awesome but isn't the latest CF-AUTO-ROOT file meant for build: N910W8VLU1ANJ3, not N910W8VLU1A0A1?

I'm worried that if i use the ANJ3 CF-AUTO-ROOT file on the AOA1 built, it'll brick my device.

can you provide a link to where you got the CF-AUTO-ROOT file you used on your AOA1 build?

thanks.

Just curious - Why didn't you flash TWRP with Odin while you were hooked up to the pc? And if you intend to flash a custom Rom - All that you have to flash is TWRP - Then flash the Rom and done

This is only partially true btw. If knox is tripped Sammy will often not cover ANY hardware issues but is so subjective.. We are lucky if you are close to the GTA, as the Sammy RMA place here is great for doing warranty repairs even if tripped as long as it's not a fried cpu or board that could have been done by oc, etc.

But I've seen and heard of many that don't get any hardware warranty if knox is tripped

---------- Post added at 12:10 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:07 PM ----------

As well, carriers like Bell and Rogers often check this right away (if u get the wrong guy I guess) and if they see knox tripped often say that warranty repair won't be covered.. But then other times.. Don't care.. I believe that technically they have right to void entire warranty if tripped but sometimes just use discretion

There are multiple users here who had tripped Knox and were able to get warranty replacements after odining back to Stock unrooted. One user even did 3 replacements with devices that were tripped.
