Help

Well the first time I tried to root my note 4, it failed and i ended up with a brick. I've rooted my S4 a bunch of times before.

I tried to root it with a custom recovery and and install supersu but for some reason after flashing the TWRP and rebooting to recovery, the stock recovery came up.

So i decided to use CF-Auto-Root and I used the wrong android version (I think).

I ended up with a screen saying "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies &try again".

(I couldn't access recovery from this point)

I installed Kies but I can't find the S/N that Kies wants, its not under the battery, not even on the box.

I tried downloading and flashing the stock firmware from Sammobile (SM-N910P Sprint 5.0.1) but I got the "sw rev check fail" on the phone, and odin showed "FAIL". After searching around and asking a friend of mine, he said that this will happen if you install the wrong firmware. I tried the same firmware with different versions on odin but they all failed.

After a while I saw what sprint had released an update for the phone that is not available in sammobile.

The latest one in sammobile (The one that I used) and everywhere I've looked is N910PVPU1BOB7, but the current one is N910PVPU2BOE1 as sprint says.

Where can I get this, is it even available for download anywhere? can someone help me recover my Note 4

and also, is it going for a factory reset?

The OE1 tar is not available yet to download. Your only choice will be to install a custom recovery (download twrp-2.8.6.0-trltespr.img.tar and flash using Odin). Then boot into recovery and do a full wipe. Then install the Noterized rom. (you could also install cyanogenmod, but its plagued with problems)
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] Iman.K:
I have tried twrp but I was never able to boot into it, it always went to stock recovery, after I bricked it I was not able to access recovery at all, all I see is "Firmware upgrade encountered as issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again". And what is Noterized rom, can you explain, (I have never installed a custom rom before) and will it mess with the cell stuff.

Did you try emergency firmware recovery in kies and then connect your phone via USB?
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] Iman.K:
Okay, I'm a bit confused now, I installed TWRP with odin and the device booted up just fine, just like I left it. wth is going on?
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] samep:
If all is well, you're rooted and have TWRP, right? If TWRP is not sticking, you may not be rooted. Root in Odin.

Once rooted and have TWRP, make a stock OE1 nandroid backup and keep it safe, like on your PC. You can no longer recover with Odin with OE1; that nandroid would help to restore your device if something went wrong.

Noterized stable release is a custom TW ROM. That and CM12 are your options if rooted OE1 is not what you want. Look for it in development sub-forum. Make another nandroid once you find a stable ROM.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] Iman.K:
Yeah, I have TWRP, and I rooted the phone with it right after the recovery. I will make a backup soon.

Many thanks to everyone.

I've also tried flashing the pit file as a last resort. I know this is ill advised, but Odin still fails. I'm still running Cyanogenmod 12 right now but would like to go back to stock if possible.

I'm using this stock rom build which should be the newest version with Lollipop.

The answer is literally above your post.

No TW nandroid backup? Backup what you want to keep including current ROM, wipe everything and flash Noterized.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] mwarnock2:
So I made a full nandroid backup. Next I downloaded the Noterized Stabile 2 rom using this link.

https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24052804347758401

It downloaded as a standard folder instead of a zip file. As far as I know a normal folder won't flash in TWRCP so I zipped the folder and copied it to my Micro SD Card. I followed the instructions and tried flashing it but it failed instantly.

The thread for the Noterized Stabile 2 is available below.

[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] RaphB:
What is OE1? Are you referring to the Build or the baseband? When checking my phone it tells me that my

Software is N910PVPU3BOF5

Baseband is N910PVPU3BOF5

Build is N910PVPU1BOB7 (SB2)

Hardware is NP910.05

Is my phone on a OB7 or OF5? (clearly not OE1)
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] samep:
We're you stuck on OE1 or OF5 before?

Whatever. You posted you used Odin 3.10 to Odin OB7 tar. There seems to be two that duplicated that result. If I understand correctly, Odin put you on OB7 bootloader. Did you take the OF5 OTA after or before Odin OB7 tar? Have you flashed an OB7 ROM after OF5 OTA?
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] RaphB:
Good question... I am not sure... the sequence was as follows:

I was stuck on OF5 but then try to get OE1 - Then I really got stuck. By booting in Download only worked once in a while (for those who get stuck there, make sure you remove the battery and your cable when trying to get back to download boot). I finally Odin OB7 but I was only able to do it with Odin 3.10 - the other versions gave me a systematic "failed"...

UNROOT: Will deleted apps come back???

So i rooted my phone and deleted bloatware, and other system apps that i did not want on my phone. Now i want to unroot my phone so that i will be able to update normally. Does anyone know if i flash back to stock will the system apps that i deleted come back? and if so, is there anyway to prevent that from happening?
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] PaulPizz:
Forgive me for if this is a stupid question. I just got this device. Is it not possible to revert back to 4.4.4 if on the latest version of android?
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] samep:
Check Settings/About phone for build number. If last 3 are OE1 or OF5. The answer is no; wait for a OF5 custom ROM or update to OF5 and root and apply mods.

Lesser builds can be downgraded to KitKat. OB7; yes. To clarify, OB7 is the only lollipop build you can downgrade to KitKat.

Really need someones help / advice.

I had a problem with the rom on my Note. I ran Noterized for a while and than installed CMRemix which was running fine. Yesterday during our visit to KC the phone reboot itself a few times. Wen to some kind of a screen that showed encryption failed. Than would not even load TWRP. I just tried to install the latest .tar available but it just reboots and never gets past SPRINT spark screen when it goes past it. just goes black and nothing.

Hoping I don't have a brick here - any help will be recognized!

Sprint Note 4 - CM installed and super buggy so was going to go back to stock and then flash HybridX. Get to Odin and get the following error:

[IMG="Odin FAIL!"]http://i.imgur.com/M4V4egF.jpg[/IMG]
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] samep:
I can't see your pic but my guess is you're trying to downgrade in Odin but your bootloader is blocking that. You should use the latest stock tar unless you're going to verify your bootloader and flash the equivalent stock tar or higher.

Flashing older TW ROMs is still possible with the most recent stock tar updates using custom TW Android 5.1 kernel. Just flash the kernel after ROM, before boot. It should boot but your internal memory and data should be wiped coming from CM.

Edit: following the link confirms my thoughts but check your phone's display when flashing in Odin. Make sure reactivation lock is disabled before attempting flash to avoid further issues.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] ariehle:
Thank you for such a quick reply!

I am having trouble locating where to disable the reactivation lock in CM, could this also be called Android Device Manager, this is the only thing I can find similar...
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] samep:
Developer options and Security are the common places to find it in Android. Not so familiar with CM, lately.

Did you check in download mode to see if it's enabled?
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] ariehle:
Just put my specs on and read the fine (really fine) print when in dl mode, reactivation is off - but still getting the fail error message.

"Flashing older TW ROMs is still possible with the most recent stock tar updates using custom TW Android 5.1 kernel. Just flash the kernel after ROM, before boot. It should boot but your internal memory and data should be wiped coming from CM."

Does this mean that I should dl the stock image here (http://xdaforums.com/note-4-sprint/general/of5-tar-t3158006) and use TW to install it from my internal storage?
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] samep:
Unless you know your bootloader, use this stock tar.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=63868221

Verify the md5 of zip and extract only the tar.md5 for Odin. Wipe everything except extSdCard and power down prior to download mode. Use Odin defaults and flash the stock tar. Let it auto reboot through stock recovery to setup csc. Go through the setup wizard and check data, GPS lock, MMS send and receive. Expect one possible prompt to reboot to complete activation after initial boot. Don't pull battery to hasten anything. It'll go smoother on the ROM install if you do these things first.

Odin TWRP recovery and then install the custom ROM. Uncheck auto reboot option for Odin and boot directly into recovery after battery pull for 30 seconds for TWRP to stick.

[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] Kinglittlefield:
does the ok1 tar get put in the BL or AP slot? I have rooted my SM-N910P and was using it with no problems running on OBAR, then all the sudden it started rebooting randomly. thought it was the rom, switched to MOAR and it still happened. bought new battery, still random resets. decided to try the new leaked marshmellow and updated the pb5 firmware and baseband but never got the rom to load right. Ive been trying to unroot all night, from multiple different ways, but nothing works. Tried going to sammoble to dl but the files fail. or wont work in odin. my last attempt was with N910PVPU1BOB7_N910PSPT1BOB7_N910PVPU1BOB7_HOME.tar.md5 but it failed as well. I tried in ap and BL slot. I must be doing something wrong. Ive dl the drivers, tried kies and samsung switch (which i cant get past the S/N because it says its incorrect) I tried the ok1 baseband and firmware prior to the last attempt, and am now stuck on the samsung load up screen.

Where to go from here??

~~so as of right now, I got the OK1 firmware and baseband both to load onto my note4 but it still sits on the "samsung galaxy Note4" screen.......
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] samep:
AP slot.

The MM leak as ROM zip is not a good idea. That's why freeza uploaded the leaked tar. Use that.

OB7 stock tar won't flash after updating to Android 5.1 Don't know what other tars failed specifically but I'd suggest only OK1 stock tar at this point.

The ROMs randomly rebooting could be a number of issues. Your current lack of boot suggests you should backup of your keepsakes to micro sdcard or PC (If you find it difficult to backup, do you have a recent OK1 backup you could restore?) and wipe everything but extSdCard. Power down and boot into download mode and flash OK1 tar using latest Odin with Odin default settings. Let it boot and wait until you've verified it's functional and completed the activation. The phone may ask to reboot to complete activation so don't force any reboots or pull battery until completed. Verify activation and data profile updates along with GPS lock. Once satisfied with stock setup, you can try another custom ROM if the random reboots are not recurring.

Full un-root should be done within the SuperSU application if you're trying to un-root but only if you're using stock kernel. Otherwise, it may not boot, depending on the kernel. But if flashing another root method or pre-rooted ROM, it's ok to un-root and flash another prior to reboot.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] tx_dbs_tx:
For ROM tar's you use the AP slot. To unroot you simply wipe your device partitions then odin the stock ROM. From what your saying it sounds like it's best if you start over fresh. So the first thing you need to know is what was the latest software version that you successfully flashed onto your phone with Odin in order to know what version your bootloader is. Whatever software version you last successfully flashed in Odin is the version bootloader you now have. Normally you can't flash back to older versions of bootloaders but the engineering build does allow you to go back. So you need to Odin the official OG5 rom tar using odin. In odin there is an options tab. In the options tab select repartition then begin the rom flash procedure. Once it completes let the phone reboot completely and setup your phone per usual. At that time you will need to go into settings/activate this device and run it. Once that completes and the phone reboots, go into system updates and update prl and profile then reboot your phone again. Then use your phone for a little while and make sure calls and data works as it should.

If for some reason you are unable to flash the OG5 due to a FAIL then you will have to try OK1. Once you successfully flash OG5 and do all of the steps above then you will need to update your phone via the OTA updates or flash OJ6 rom tar then the OK1 rom tar and do the steps outlined above after each successful update just to be safe. Yes it's a bit of time and work but it's worth it because it is the only way to get back to a pure stock system and firmware. the only exception is that knox counter remains tripped but it has no effect on you phone. Once you get updated to OK1, which is the latest official software for the sprint N4, then use your phone for a while and see how it does. If you get the same reboots etc, then i would have to suspect some type of hardware failure which is not uncommon after using a phone for a coup;le of years and flashing stuff regularly. If this fails to resolve you issues then hopefuly you have TEP and you can take your stock unrooted phone into your local corporate Sprint store that has full service center and see if they can fix it. they won't be able to fix it because you will have already done everything that they would be able to do as far as putting your phone back to stock, so they will order you a replacement to be shipped there to the store or to your house. Good luck.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] Kinglittlefield:
Ok here is where I stand, I got ok1 baseband and ok1 firmware to pass and load on my phone through odin, but could not get my stock rom that I saved to my sd before I rooted, to load. BUT, I was able to load MOAR rom, and phone works fine now. Issue is, I am getting the S7 and still need to get this to stock. So as I stand, I have OK1 baseband, and firmware, with MOAR rom (which is a great rom btw).

What are my next steps to get back to root, or as close to root as I can be to turn the phone back in?

Hello everyone,

Today i got my z1, after being a gs3 user for almost two years.

All day today i've been educating myself around unlocking, flashing tools etc, as z1 and s3 are a little bit different.

I would like to ask a question, after flashing a cm based rom i noticed that the colors on the screen are a little bit washed-out comaring when on stock rom.

Is it me or is this really happening? And if so.. is there anyway to edit the contrast or sharpness or maybe implement the bravia engine to cm11 rom?

Thanks in advance

thats because x reality is gone acter u install cm/AOSP....xreality tweaks the display slightly to increase colour reproduction
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tomascus:
X-reality (Bravia Engine for you) only works in select Sony apps with pictures and videos only anyway, it doesn't apply its effects to the screen. Main difference is probably the video drivers used in CM as opposed to the proprietary Sony ones on Sony ROMs. There's no way around it probably unless you know about kernel coding. (maybe)

it works on picture and videos watched in youtube and google chrome. I saw it once on my phone, so they are not work only on sony apps.

So since the 5.0 update for the Google Nexus 5 I'm not quiet happy with some things like that if you enter the menu the space between the apps isn't transparent anymore and that you can't enable vibration/mute/loud by holding the power button anymore, its litteraly just turning off now. Also that the google search line is unremovable on every single page. And the background of the letters is bright white and the letter are black, basically everything is way to untransparent and bright for me and a lot of things I'd like to customize aren't cumstomizable. If anyone would be so kind and could forward me some custom rom that gives me a lot of options to comstumize layouts, button binds, menu colours and if its transparent or not and is compatible with A5.0 that would be great. If its with tutorial it would be even better! Thanks
[XDA Assist] :
Hi,

5.0 just was released. It'll take time for developers to dig into it and add features and options that are in previous Android version roms.

You will need to be patient. Asking won't make it happen any sooner. In no time everything you are looking for will be out there. It's a Nexus after all.

Keep checking the development sections here for new roms and read the features in their opening posts.
