After rooting my Lollipop and installing TWRP, now if I go to check software update, it says:

"The operating system on your device has been modified in an unauthorised way. Try downloading software updates using Smart Switch on your PC or visit a customer service centre."

Is this normal?
[Galaxy Note 4 General] shaggyskunk:
Absolutely normal - After all you have modified the os by rooting and installing a custom recovery
[Galaxy Note 4 General] err0r76:
You should flash the gapps that the OP advises you to be the best one for his/her ROM. Tmo variants can be flashed in our W8, but you might need to flash a fix for Canadian variants after so that you have data and voice. CM and AOSP ROMS will make you lose the fingerprint reader functionality and the camera sucks in comparison to TW. ( you will probably realize that there are more TW Roms than AOSP based Roms developed for this device for that reason) this will probably change with M coming out...

Hi everyone! Finally back to Samsung after years with HTC. Things seem a lot more complicated then when i had the i9000. So i'm currently on 5.01 and am rooted but cant seem to get a custom recovery like twrp to boot up. Everytime I try to flash twrp via Odin i get stuck on the download or stock recovery screen and the only thing i can do is hold power+home+vol down to reboot the phone and it goes back into the same page. I pull the battery power it on and same download screen. I have to reflash cf auto root to get the phone to boot up normal again. Anyway my question is what exactly do i need to do to get custom recover and start flashing roms? My guess is i have to flash stock kitkat then cf autorrot then custom recoevery then applicable ROM????? P.s. I cant seem to find the download link for the starkiss kernel?
[Galaxy Note 4 General] sefrcoko:
If you are on 5.0.1, then reboot to download mode and flash cf auto-root through odin. Reboot. When it's done booting up, boot into download mode again and flash twrp through Odin. Reboot. Now boot into recovery mode and flash a compatible rom through twrp. Reboot and enjoy :)

Note: Make sure re-activation lock is unchecked in your phone settings before flashing anything through odin.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] shaggyskunk:
If you're planning on flashing a Custom rom - You can skip CF Auto Root - BUT it sounds like you need to use the Stock Recovery and Factory Reset - Then Flash TWRP img.tar trltecan 2.8.7.0 with Odin - Nandroid the stock Rom - Download the Rom and Gapps (if you want to flash AOSP Roms) - Boot into Recovery - Factory Reset - Advanced in TWRP 2.8.7.0 - Manually Wipe System - Data and Caches - Flash Rom and Gapps (if AOSP) - Reboot

[Galaxy Note 4 General] sefrcoko:
You need to flash a custom kernel like Emotion when flashing a tmobile rom on the n910w8 (because one device won't boot the stock kernel of another device). You can also try Poprocks... that rom also comes in a Canadian version which doesn't require any custom kernel.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] shaggyskunk:
Ok - So you're flashing TW based Roms - You are not flashing Gapps as well? (had to ask - I don't know how much experience you have).

When you flash the Rom - You are booting into TWRP 2.8.7.0 Recovery - Factory Reset - Advanced in TWRP - Manually Wipe System - Data and Caches - Flash Rom and Reboot?

Edit: I'm not familiar with these two Roms - But you may have to Flash a kernel that is Compatible with Canadian devices - If that's the case - After flashing the Rom - while still in Recovery - Wipe cache and dalvik - Flash Kernel - Reboot

More information about what you've done so far would help - You jumped from CF Auto Root didn't work to Odin - but Odin what exactly?

My note 4 is now android 5.1.1 , and I heard that you must flash custom Kernel to avoid boot loop when rooting android 5.1.

I don't know where to start, can anyone please tell me what the current most stable, fast and battery friendly solution for the Canadian Note 4?

What I can think of so far are:

1. root + custom kernel+some way to debloat

2. Stock debloated TW rom like: http://xdaforums.com/note-4/snapdragon-dev/trltecan-n910w8-aoa1-stock-rooted-t3025538

3. Modified stock debloated TW rom like: http://xdaforums.com/note-4-tmobile/development/moving-please-dont-post-t2943845

4. Custom rom like cm: https://download.cyanogenmod.org/?type=nightly&device=trltetmo

If you're going to Flash the updated Firmware - I wouldn't ever not Clean Flash the Rom of your choice! Even once you're on the Rom that you want - It's HIGHLY recommended that you Clean Flash the Rom updates! Let alone thinking about what you're wanting to do!

Basically though if you simply want to root your 5.1.1 coi4 firmware, then I suggest flashing twrp recovery through odin, followed by supersu 2.62 through twrp.

If you want to root and be on the latest base as well, then download the N910W8 cok3 firmware from sammobile.com and flash through Odin. Then flash twrp through odin and supersu 2.62 through twrp.

Rom Question...

[MENTION=4351374]shaggyskunk[/MENTION]

I've just move to this new device from the S2 LTE which was the exact same as the AT&T Skyrocket so it was easy to know which ROMs worked for that variant. However, after reading a few hours about the Note 4, there seems to be quite a difference in variants. For the most part, things are similar in terms of flashing with Odin.

You mentioned that we can flash any T-Mobile ROM so long as we also flash the NJ3 kernel. This is great to know. My question is, can we flash other carrier ROMs and combined w/ NJ3 kernel or just T-Mobile? Would it just be a soft brick if I tried cause then I'd just do a Nadroid restore or could it potentially hard brick?

Thanks
