Hi, I got 910V it goes to red Verizon logo screen then it restart again and do the same thing over and over again, I flashed retail stock MM, LP , with and without the PIT, I used this method

https://xdaforums.com/note-4-verizon/general/debrick-procedure-t3370661

nothing helps, phones takes all MM, LP stock images without any errors, it goes into recovery and let me wipe, factory reset but it wont boot pass red Verizon logo screen, I didn't see any emmc error since three days I have dealing with this issue, I don't know what cause that softbricked. I was rooted, with unlocked bootloader, and it started to doing it so I I pushed stock firmware so my bootloader isn't unlocked but phone still lopping, I changed batteries, cables
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] tripLr:
Did you remove the SD card after you rooted and installed TWRP?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] markredneck:

dead links and torrent magnets

the download links for full latest firmware are dead also take almost a full day to complete can you please create torrents so the downloads can be paused in the event of network loss and for slow internet connections
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] chrisnice906:
do you know of any good samsung account bypass workarounds? i seem to get fail in odin when flashing twrp and even flashing firmwares other than bpa1. says in odin and download mode cant flash due to r/l. i assume that means reactivation lock...
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] ACiDxCHRiST:
Is there a way to flash this update for a stock DE phone the same way a retail user would take an OTA (ie. Preserving all settings and apps)?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] wy1d:
Anyone else getting boot loop with NJ5 modem?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] ct_tec313:
yep i think something wrong with the modem tried the odex version still no dice..........
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] hsbadr:
Are you on NJ5 firmware?! Odin checks for MD5...
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] wy1d:
Yes NJ5 firmware here. Is it possible the MD5 was generated against an already corrupted tar?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] gatesjunior:
Try this one:

ODIN Flash MD5 file:

[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] wooddale:
Is any body on the NJ5 modem is it as good as NJ1 I wouldnt want to loose anything NJ1 is so good Thanks.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] ct_tec313:
we dont know yet flash it and let let us know......
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] wooddale:
If I don't have to I will never flash another modem nothing wrong with the one but it probably won't let you update unless you do.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] mrlaigle:
Thanks. new system going on my DE as we speak
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] wooddale:
So if I want to flash JN5 I flash stock restore tar in Odin then TWRP then root just like we did first time right?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] gatesjunior:
Remember, this is Retail. So, do not flash the bootloader, unless you have yours to reflash back.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] ACiDxCHRiST:
This is what I did:

Wiped Dalvik, System, Data, and Cache

Rebooted into Download Mode and ODIN Flashed NJ5 Stock Restore

It will boot into Stock Recovery at this point and finish the flash

Rebooted into Download Mode again and ODIN Flashed TWRP

Rebooted into TWRP Recovery and Flashed SuperSU

Then finally rebooted to System
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] wooddale:
Got it but why did you wipe doesn't it do that?

---------- Post added at 08:29 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:27 PM ----------
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] ACiDxCHRiST:
Maybe, I don't know. It is just a small step that takes a couple seconds that *COULD* prevent problems.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] airmaxx23:
I installed the NJ5 stock restore and eveything went fine. The only problem I'm having is any ROM that I install now bootloops at the Android logo and when I try restoring a backup it does the same thing when rebooting.

Edit: So riddle me this, I used Odin to flash the NI1 stock restore (after wiping dalvik, system, data and cache) hoping it would let me restore my previous backup or at least install a ROM and not bootloop. Once it was installed I flashed TWRP through Odin then boot into TWRP and flashed SU. When it booted back up all of my previous apps where already installed and the wallpaper was set like I had it previously. Shouldn't this have wiped my phone, keep in mind that I flashed NJ5 and then NI1.

Edit 2: This did work as intended and allow me to restore my backup.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] ifly4vamerica:
Neither of those Odin tars will wipe data so unless you wipes it in TWRP or stock recovery you are good to go.

[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] wooddale:
So what happened why did you bootloop? What system are you on

?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] radionerd:
modem bootloops

Installed emspilot's 1.1 NJ5 deoxed rom last night. Google updates stall out, took hours to update.

Today Flashed NJ5 modem, bootloops... Went back to NI1 modem back to normal. Google still sluggish though.

Thanks,
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] wooddale:
I downloaded stock recovery but can't get it to extract must be doing something wrong. I'm downloading it again. Any thoughts?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] ACiDxCHRiST:
I clean flashed the NJ5 Stock Restore. I Froze a bunch of stuff and flashed a couple of EMSpilot's standalone mods (not his ROMs). I am having a great experience.

---------- Post added at 12:51 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:44 PM ----------

I just downloaded and extracted both the NJ5 and the NI1 Recovery and both extracted just fine without errors. Make sure you have software that can extract .7z files. Use 7Zip or WinRAR.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] wooddale:
I have 7zip that's why I asked re-download gonna try again Thanks.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] airmaxx23:
Did the 4 way reboot .zip work for you? It flashed fine for me but the only button that works is "Power Off".
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] ACiDxCHRiST:
I use Wanam Xposed for the 4 way reboot menu. It works great. I couldn't tell you about EMSpilot's version.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] wooddale:
I re-download it's extracting as we speak don't know what happen was a small file first time
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] radionerd:
Thanks, I might end up doing the same.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] ACiDxCHRiST:
Extracting as you speak? I think you misspoke when you said "Stock Recovery". Do you mean "Stock Restore"? Because the Stock Recovery is only a 15MB file and you wouldn't have time to type that message before it finished.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] wooddale:
Yes your correct I was so excited I got it to work haha thanks for asking though. I assume you have done it if so how is data with new modem still holding 4g good?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] EMSpilot:
NJ5 Modem

The only way I could get the NJ5 modem was to flash the entire Odin for NJ5 from here https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=95857557620392097.

Then I installed my new NJ5 Definitive Rom with no errors!! Yay!!

I will try and come up with a zip for the modem.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] wooddale:
I know Im getting greedy but if ya get one can you make them for both Thanks
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] ACiDxCHRiST:
No problems here.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] gatesjunior:
Did you try the one I posted ?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] radionerd:
I Odened the OP's modem, will give it a try when I get home.

Thanks,
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] radionerd:
I tried both the OP's Modem and your's gatesjunior. Each had an unique md5, both resulted in bootloops, back on NI1 modem.

Thanks,
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] ACiDxCHRiST:
Seriously, try clean flashing the NJ5 Stock Restore first. Then, move on to EMSpilot's Definitive NJ5 ROM or whatever. You will be good to go after that.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] wooddale:
If I flash the NJ5 restore can I flash NJ1 back if I don't like
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] ACiDxCHRiST:
Theoretically, yes. I haven't done it, so I can't give you a definitive answer, but I see no reason why it would not work. Just make sure that you never flash anything that has a bootloader in it and you should be fine.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] wooddale:
Thanks its not so much NJ5 I worry about as much as the modem I have seen before when you do an OTA and theynjack the modems up and it seems like you can't flash a modem by itself.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] ACiDxCHRiST:
I am on NJ5 right now and from all the other people that are running it, I haven't seen any complaints about the modem. Some people have complained about the Battery Life after the flash, although I have no issues there either.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] wooddale:
Thanks I got it on the computer so I'm good to go make a nanoid of current ROM and flash tomorrow Thanks.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] radionerd:
Oden Flashed NJ5_stockRestore.tar

It booted and updated 90+ apps.

Oden flashed TWRP

In TWRP installed superSUupdate zip from ExtSD

Booted normally, installed latest SuperSU. Let it Update binaries in recovery (SuperSU Pro).

Clicked on xposed installer and reactivated exposed installer

Back to smooth as glass operation.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] ACiDxCHRiST:
Good deal man. Glad to hear it.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] ACiDxCHRiST:
So a dirty flash worked out well? Please keep me (us?) updated on any ill-effects that you notice. If there aren't any problems that arise from it, I would surely do that next time to avoid having to re-setup everything on my phone.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] radionerd:
Coming up on 24 hours, no issues.

S-health wouldn't run on Nj5, so I installed xposed shealth mod and that fixed it.

Downloads from 4g and wireless are at least as good as NI1 modem.

Froze DT Ignite before flashing, none of the junk apps came back after reboot: Cookie Party, Panda poop, TopCraps InstagramPa, goober...

;)
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] ACiDxCHRiST:
Awesome, that is good to hear. It is certainly much easier to just reflash TWRP than going through all the steps to clean flash and setting up the phone all over again.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] wooddale:
OK I still haven't tried have been busy. I can stay on Definitive ROM and do this no need to clear data? Or do I need to go back to stock rooted nanoid? Thanks.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] ACiDxCHRiST:
I really couldn't say. One person has reported that they dirty flashed Stock Restore and it worked fine; however, I don't know if he was running Stock or Definitive ROM.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] wooddale:
Thanks I dont have that much going on yet I use Apex launcher so if I get a copybon my card thats half the battle. Im gonna wipe and hope for best. It wont wipe card Thanks.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] ACiDxCHRiST:
The idea of dirty flashing one ROM on top of a completely different ROM is just wrong to me though. I don't see good things coming out of that.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] wooddale:
Ya better safe than sorry. Plus youbshould make nanoids and what would they be lol
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] jpcalhoun:
You're right, only bad things seem to happen when you do that. I've learned the hard way...if it's worth doing then it's worth doing right...wipe and clean install.

[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] hsbadr:
Yes, but ROOT comes 1st ;)
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] droidrev71:

[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Zekial:

Did you backup your aboot....which is your unlocked bootloader.

[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] bobbarker2:
If you didn't backup your aboot partition, then no. If you did, then you should be able to go back to an unlocked bootloader.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Zekial:
I tried, but I couldn't do it. Can i just use another backup file?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] manbat:
===========

Each phones unlocked aboot/bootloader is specific to the original phone....so no...sorry.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Zekial:
*sigh* alright. Thanks guys.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] hsbadr:
Sorry! if you don't have a backup of your primary bootloader, contact Samsung support & they can restore your unlocked bootloader.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] bobbarker2:
I thought I read somewhere that they won't do that?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] jr_718:
It's worth a try...
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] wooddale:
For sure worth try but I doubt they will be able to do anything not so much can't but won't. Make sure you get to level 2 support.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] jr_718:
Please let us know if you got through...am thinking of returning my retail version and just order one from Sammy(they seem to be back order :( )..have till next Saturday 14day best buy return policy..

Just interested to know how much support Sammy gives on developers edition if it's worth it.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] jpcalhoun:
A number of S5 Dev owners locked their bootloaders and sent them back to Sammy for repair and all Sammy did was return a fully function phone, but with a locked bootloader. None of those owners got a S5 with unlocked bootloader back from Sammy.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] jr_718:
Ok thanks...I'll probably settle for the retail
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] bobbarker2:
How long ago did you buy it? Maybe you can just return it to Samsung and buy another?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] jr_718:
I believe 2 or 3 days after Christmas.. paid about 11hundred dollars at best buy..lol this includes 3 year warranty and outer box case.. shaking my head lol..:)
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] hsbadr:
I believe they can do it, but I'm not sure they'll do! it's worth trying...
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Zekial:
Certainly. I'll give it a shot.

Well, that didn't go far. Thought I just locked myself out like the first guy. I guess I'll call tomorrow and update then.

[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] hsbadr:
"doing a factory reset it deleted my unlocked boot loader" doesn't make any sense (impossible). I'd rather report that "I've downloaded Full Firmware from SamMobile and "accidentally" flashed it via Odin v3.09, which locked my bootloader". This way (request to send them your device to restore your unlocked bootloader, even if you may pay for it), anyone who could help will understand what happened, but it's up to you!

Lesson: always make backups of your important partitions & sensitive data !
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] GreeleyXda:
Is there a video that can show me how to do this?

I dont understand the directions (ive never done anything like this before)

Im on a Verizon Note 4 retail and was told:

"You know, you might try flashing the Odin file yourself. It's quite possible that would fix any software problems. Of course, if the problem stems from hardware, it won't help. But I would definitely try that before messing with insurance, as it seems far more likely to me that this is a software problem"
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] jamphat:
would flashing the NJ5 stock restore on an unrooted DE with NI1 result in a rooted DE with NJ5?

would flashing the NJ5 stock restore on an rooted DE with NI1 result in a rooted DE with NJ5?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] wooddale:
I believe when you flash it you loose root and twrp but not data you flash it in Odin just like you did the first time. After its done flashing you just flash twrp and then it will ask you if you want to root say yes your done, It may ask you to update bianaries once you boot up.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] jamphat:
"just flash twrp and then it will ask you if you want to root" - flashing twrp roots the phone?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] wooddale:
Yes if your already unlocked and on N1 are you unlocked?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] jamphat:
you mean bootloader, right? the phone doesnt get here for a few hours, but its a Note 4 DE so yes
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] wooddale:
Yes is the phone new?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] jamphat:
yes
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] wooddale:
I'm not sure about that I would think you have to get twrp and root on N 1 first then do the exploit for N5. I never did it that way. There was no N5 when I did it. I would just do it with N1 first then again with N5 exploit not a big deal
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] jamphat:
yeah i'm not sure if i even have a need for nj5 so i might just stick with nj1+root.

are you nj5 now? what order did you do it? im guessing: nj1->root->twrp->nj5->twrp/root?

thanks for the help, by the way
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] wooddale:
No problem you should do N5 just to keep your phone updated.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] manbat:
No..no root in "Stock Restore".

Help

How does one use this to restore a Dev editon phone back to stock? Somehow along the way I've gotten lots of errors on my phone, and even when I flash my backup of my original backup after I rooted I'm still having issues, so I'm wanting to start over fresh. I have the NJ5 version.

Thanks a ton!

(sorry for the newb question, still learnin all this stuff)

Be careful what you flash or you wont have a dev edition any more.

Stock Restore FullWipe

I've added a link to a new Stock Restore tar packaged by [MENTION=5601139]Misterxtc[/MENTION] that wipes everything clean & is verified to work on VZW Note 4 Developer Edition.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] :
I'll see if I can remove the ota and knox junk within the next few days. Until then they will have to be manually deleted.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] ACiDxCHRiST:
Lollipop is released for the Retail VZW Note 4. Can someone with a retail unit capture the OTA Update and post it somewhere so that it can be converted to a Developer Edition update?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] :
Do you want it half baked or cooked all the way? I prefer the later. It's better to wait for the Odin tar to be released and try to make the update the proper way for us. We waited this long for lollipop so a few more days won't hurt. It will come soon.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] wy1d:
It's a DE - I'll take whichever is available quickest because I have full recovery and nandroid is easy.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] stueycaster:
I'll wait for the Odin tar. I like it when everything just works right. That's why I've never run anything but stock TW roms built with the manufacturer release.

Think you might be able to point me in the right direction? I updated to 5.0 and flashed the NJ5 modem in the "phone" slot. Now I'm stuck at the verizon screen, even after flashing stock firmware.
