Do we still need to flash the permissive kernel you provided, if we still want to use Viper mod?
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Snapdragon)] dr.ketan:
Yes permissive is always required for viper. I have not tested that kernel on latest built so before using it make a nandroid.

has anyone noticed, there's VoLTE option in BOE1 ? i know it wont work here, but just...there are also quite a few UI changes in this base...
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Snapdragon)] Mussels84:
'work here' is a bit vague when you don't state where you are - VoLTE is being brought to australia soon, for example and the 910G is sold here.

Also i dirty flashed this over L3, and apart from clearing the cache on google play (it was erroring on launch), everythings working great so far.
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Snapdragon)] OnceHeaven:
Looking great Doc. Everything is as smooth as it should be....... or even better. Gonna test the battery life.

Where is the download link for L4..as i m able to see only link for L3 AT THE PORTal

is this normal for this base ?
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Snapdragon)] dr.ketan:
Something wrong on your side. Have you flash any mod? Any xposed modue? OR replaced anything manually in system?
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Snapdragon)] pratik_193:
Yup,

Xposed module is there with Greenify & Amplify, but this was enabled on your deodexed stock BOE1 & on L3 too..
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Snapdragon)] dr.ketan:
Something messed up. Try recalling if you have did something in system manually.

[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Snapdragon)] DakuGaranto:
Coming from a Stock non-rooted rom (5.0.1), wanted to try this custom rom out but no matter what recovery(twrp or chenglu cwm) i flash in odin, it won't get applied to it even thought it said "pass" , I still got back the stock recovery. Any solution?
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Snapdragon)] Mussels84:
flash the recovery properly - remove battery, 3 button combo to download mode, install recovery in ODIN with auto reboot unticked.

once its done remove battery, boot immediately into recovery. If you dont get it on the first boot, the stock recovery can restore itself sometimes.
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Snapdragon)] DakuGaranto:
I didn't know that the stock recovery can auto restore itself. I followed all your steps and successfully installed cwm recovery, thanks a lot.

OE1 incapable kernels

For OE1 ROM, I tried yesterday and found that either EMOTION kernel or AEL kernel caused bootloop.

Is there a kernel for this version which supports changing voltage?
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Snapdragon)] pratik_193:
Doc, i just flashed the rom again. it works fine till the moment i flash xposed module. after xposed, everytime the phone reboots, it says android is upgrading, starting apps...
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Snapdragon)] dr.ketan:
I told you y'day it could be one of xposed module.
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Snapdragon)] OnceHeaven:
Hey Doc, I'm experiencing the same bootup message everytime regardless whether I had a clean install or dirty flashed. This was months before Xposed which came true for us last week.

About BOE1 modem

Hi Dr. Ketan, I've flashed Your BOE1 Custom ROM happily, so far , so good...

Thank You!:)

But actually, I have a little concern about modem firmware version; I quote here saints5354 from [25May15] N910G BOE1 Stock Deodexed ROM Thread:

I also have N910GDTU1BOC7 modem version listed on "about the phone" screen.

...

I've flashed al the files from this package in ODIN, and BOE1 bootloader worked 100%, no doubt....

But, I suspect that the modem supplied in "N910G_BOE1_BL_Modem_extract_this.rar" package is not BOE1... but BOC7. Why? I made a little research:

Inside the N910G_BOE1_Bootloader_Modem.tar.md5 archive, there are 7 files, and six of them are dated as 12th of May.

NON-HLOS.bin

modem.bin <--- this file is dated 23th March 2015 (how can it be BOE1 version if so?)

aboot.mbn

rpm.mbn

sbl1.mbn

sdi.mbn

tz.mbn

Additionally, if we unpack modem.bin (it's a regular FAT16 img file I suppose), we will find qdsp6sw.mbn with N910G.002 REV0.5 MDM9235 SM-N910G 1905730 N910GDTU1BOC7 signature in it...

So my question is:

Can anyone confirm that N910G....BOE1 modem version is actully listed on the "about the phone" screen? If so, where can I get the 'real' BOE1 modem? Here is my screen (attached):

Actually, my LTE and WCDMA only reception is not so good... So I'm looking to try BOE1 modem. Thanks!
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Snapdragon)] dr.ketan:
What I have written as 'Based on' on ChangeLog and Download N910G BOE1 Dr.Ketan ROM L4 post? second line of post.
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Snapdragon)] Andycar:
Yes, it's N910GDTU1BOC7 baseband... my bad.
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Snapdragon)] Mussels84:
I think in this case the BOE1 update didnt include an updated modem. as the good doctor said above, you can see in the filename for the original stock rom that it mentions BOE1 and BOC7

Don't feel bad, i'd have asked the same dumb question if i'd noticed that myself.
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Snapdragon)] Andycar:
:) Thanks!

I'm not sure, but sometimes I experience disappear very low LTE signal, and it doesn't switch to H+ (WCDMA) as readily as it was on BOD2 base / BOC1 combo previously.

But I still have to reproduce, the reception here on my workplace is bad. So maybe someday the miracle BOE1 modem could improve the situation.

:D Cheers!
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Snapdragon)] Mussels84:
Unrelated to the previous conversation:

L4 and the BOE1 base are looking amazing. I've just finished a quiet shift at work using my phone more than usual, used about half the battery i was using on L3.

Havent found any bugs or issues (I don't use Xposed) and idle battery life seems greatly improved.
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Snapdragon)] joe.sebin:
Dr. i need an urgent help.

i flashed L4 on my singapore based N4. flashing was successful. but for flashing the bootloader i switch it off by pulling out battery.

now i cant get into download mode. phone is not getting swithed on either.

when connecting charger phone is trying to ON and suddenly getting restarted again. but with charger connected, when trying to get download mode its getting in, but odin is not recognizing device. if i disconnect the charger device is getting off itseif.

what shall i do?

pls help.
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Snapdragon)] dr.ketan:
May be your battery is too low. Keep on charging for some time before flashing.
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Snapdragon)] joe.sebin:
but when i connect the charger, the battery symbol is getting on the screen with a small vibration and it goes off after 1 second.

this is repeating continuously.
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Snapdragon)] dr.ketan:
Could be due to missing matching bootloader. Best way try to manage for other battery.
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Snapdragon)] joe.sebin:
doctor, meanwhile i managed to get into recovery again, but i dont know how. i was trying and trying. it show my battery as 100%.

now i flashed back twrp and restoring a previous backup of L3. will update u the status soon

---------- Post added at 09:24 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:38 PM ----------

doctor after restore of L3, i flashed bootloader of L3 and its stock kernel as a try. now got booted and i can use the phone.

but don know what happened with L4. going to download stock and try to flash through odin.

Thanks for ur help.
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Snapdragon)] ayurmouli:
sir

i am using your base version and tried L4 but always says status 7 error in CWM recovery.i downloaded the rom twice but same problem. please guide me sir. thank you
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Snapdragon)] dr.ketan:
May be data corruption. Best solution is flash stock ROM and factory reset with stock recovery. Note that this will erase your Int SD card too.
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Snapdragon)] aukhan:
FYI guys currently the Emotion kernel is not supporting the OE1 kernel don't flash it on OE1 base however we are working on the fix and shall having it working stay tuned.

[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Snapdragon)] coolfire:
Everything working perfect on L4 for me!

Will try running it as is for a few days to see if BOE1 really has improved battery life.

Dirty flashed L4 over L3 and wiped cache. Running great so far. Tried flashing [MENTION=3931450]dr.ketan[/MENTION]'s permissive kernel over L4 and got boot loop. Reverted back and everything is smooth so far. Battery life is yet to be tested, but feel L4 is running much cooler as compared to L3, which used to get warm easily. Just reporting. Thank you [MENTION=3931450]dr.ketan[/MENTION] for this release...
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Snapdragon)] ayurmouli:
dear sir thank you so much for the reply.stock rom means original samsung one or your E1 Base. and flashing means odin flash.thank you sir.
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Snapdragon)] roseyhead:
Forgive the dumb question but will dirty flashing L4 over L3 overwrite my permissive kernel?
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Snapdragon)] Mussels84:
yes, you will get the new stock kernel. L4 is not compatible with the older kernels.
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Snapdragon)] roseyhead:
I thought that might be the case, thanks for confirming. I can't live without Viper4Android so I might hold off for a bit ;)
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Snapdragon)] Mussels84:
I'm sure a permissive kernel will be updated soon by someone.
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Snapdragon)] joe.sebin:
doctor, i flashed stock OE1 and done a factory reset from stock recovery, then flashed L4.

now everything is ok.

Not very clear on this from the L4 post.... If I download and flash L4....do I need to flash bootloader and Modem of OE version also?
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Snapdragon)] dheerajk27:
Yes, you need to flash bootloader and modem as well.

---------- Post added at 09:21 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:14 AM ----------

For me, xposed worked without any issues, after following the instructions there. May be, you would want to download the zip file again and try. After installation of the zip, it does take some time to boot as it goes thru Android upgrading with optimizing the Apps. For me it took around 12 minutes or so, to boot.

[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Snapdragon)] Mussels84:
on lollipop you cant mix and match anymore, multi-device roms from the same base are dead.
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Snapdragon)] dr.ketan:
Stock odin flashable ROM already includes bootloader and modem, you don't need to flash separately.

Hi all,

Sorry, I tried to find but I can't find the answer.

I just got a Note 4 with :

Baseband version : N910GDD1BOC1

Build Number : Dr.Ketan_L3.N910GDTU1BOD2

How do I upgrade to L4?

I am not sure do I have to flash the stock firmware : N910GDTU1BOE1_N910GOLB1BOE1 again, then flash L4? If I were to flash N910GDTU1BOE1_N910GOLB1BOE1 using ODIN, will the CWM that is on the phone be gone?

Thank you for reading.
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Snapdragon)] Mussels84:
as the instructions say, flash L4 in custom recovery, then ODIN flash the modems and bootloader. stock ROM is not required.
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Snapdragon)] dr.ketan:
Oh Don't bother now.

As said above everything mentioned under Installation Instructions, you just needs to read carefully.

I followed the post :

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=60988559&postcount=1983

But there seems to be a problem when I tried downloading the CWM from the link provided in the post above. I tried searching elsewhere, found it but when I double click on it, WinRAR gives this error :

! F:\Mobile Phone\Galaxy Note 4 (SM-N910G)\n910g-cwm-recovery-6.0.5.1(1101).tar: Unexpected end of archive

Is there a problem with this file?
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Snapdragon)] dr.ketan:
May be corrupt download. Re download it. BTW you need not to extract that file but it is in tar and have to flash it directly with odin for PDA/AP tab.
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Snapdragon)] mamoo:
wotever ending with tar flash with odin bro , & dont forgot to cross check md5 in pc after download as well as in mobile after copy

here is the ODIN
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Snapdragon)] i1magic:
Thank you for your fast reply. I've successfully upgraded my wife's Note 4 to the "L4" ROM.

Ok. I guess the .tar file is not for uncompressing, that's why got error. Will try it on my Note 4. Since my Note 4 is already running the latest BOE1 ROM for Singapore, that means that I only has to :

1. Flash CWM

2. Flash your "L4" ROM

That's all right?

Also, previously when I was using Note 3 on Omega's ROM, during the voicecall there is a button for me to activate voice recording, which replace the "Add Call" function. Is there a way to have that on your L4 ROM?
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Snapdragon)] Mussels84:
If you're on the latest base already with modems and bootloaders updated, then yes.
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Snapdragon)] dr.ketan:
This will do same

http://xdaforums.com/note-4/themes-apps/enable-native-call-recording-t3026835
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Snapdragon)] i1magic:
Yes! This is what I wanted. You see, I think most of us do have phone calls which we would like to record. But not all phone calls.

I tried it and it prompted an error : "Unable to record. Media Scanner is running."

Can I turn off Media Scanner? What is "Media Scanner" for? Any issue if I disable it?
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Snapdragon)] dr.ketan:
Media scanning will stop soon. No need to do anything. Stcok recorder can't record call while media scanning running. Media scan all files after reboot/If you plug device to USB

Note

: I just tested flashing the F Emotion Kernel on my N910G worked fine on OE1 Base.

Later an Idea striked to my mind downloaded the F based on OE2 ROM and flased on N910G and guess what it booted up all fine. Now Samsung has brought back the unity of N910F and G.

So If you've N910G OE1 Bootloader and Modem You can Run N910F OE2 ROM.
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Snapdragon)] ForceField:
Really ? Is this true ? Without any danger ?
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Snapdragon)] aukhan:
Yes it is, I am running a F ROM based on OE2
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Snapdragon)] Mussels84:
this is amazing news, and frees up devs from so much hassle.
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Snapdragon)] dr.ketan:
May be there won't have difference in bootloader and modem otherwise issue is still same if you flash N910G ROM with newer base and you don't update bootloader and modem device still doesn't boot.

So may be - If we want to flash N910F ROM on N910G ROM we have to flash bootloader and modem from F with custom kernel. Probably samsung have not closed possibility of cross flashing but earlier no same base bootloader and modem required which is now compulsory.
