This NIE and NK2 tars includes the modem and the HLOS patch so if you have no data then you might need to call sprint and/or manually provision your phone again. Try dialing ##786#. You must have done something because both of these stock tar files include the modems and flashing a modem by itself is not gonna fix it apparently because you already have the modem.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] bstarke13:
Thank you... I appreciate your help.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] mikeprius:
This is the factory stock ROM just loaded as a .tar file that you ODIN in correct ?
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] btb601:
So a factory data reset in settings do the trick?
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] MasterZen88:
@ -viperboy- .. quick question, where did this stock NK2 tar come from? By any chance did you pull it from sammobile?
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] sml2004:
Trying to update through odin. Any ideas how to get it to work. Won't even read it in download mode. Happens ok both pcs. Thanks
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] pongoface:
Did you install the samsung drivers. If you did, try reinstalling them again.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] sml2004:
Tried that. I think it's this damn port or something. It's charging like **** too
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] pongoface:
Try a different usb to micro sd cord
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] sml2004:
I tried 3 different ones 2 different pcs. It doesnt even show that symol in the top left when it connects to pc. Like connect as camera or whatever.

Update: Went to Sprint store they are ordering me a new phone. The port charges so slow i got a battery and charger thing. Gotta have charge til mine gets here. Not sure but i use fast charge all the time. Samsung won't admit it but wonder if that broke it? Hmm
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] jimmbomb:
How do you choose "fast charge"?? and where do I find the charge 'options'??

thanks
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] sml2004:
Settings/power saving and click fast charging

Did you get re-rooted on the nk2 using cf auto root?

Chainfire say in most cased that the new firmware will root and sometimes it won't. That's were I lack the know how. What to expect and how to fix?
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] flyhighx:
Yes, it worked perfectly for me. And to my knowledge, I haven't read any posts where people have had any trouble re rooting.

I backed up everything with titanium Backup premium and then did a nandroid backup in TWRP recovery. I then did a factory reset wipe in TWRP. after that, I flashed the NK2 .tar using Odin. Once that was done, then you Odin cfautoroot to root again , and then finally twrp for the custom recovery. Very straightforward, no issues.

You'll have to reinstall apps from Google play because you factory reset. I like to install them fresh instead of restoring apps from titanium. However, I'll let titanium then restore data only and get my device back to where it was before. That's all
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] neudof:
Is it possible to roll back to the previous firmwear from nk2?
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] jhill110:
tx_dbs_tx says the nk2 bootloader is backward compatible. He tested it on his own phone. I take his word on that. There should be no worries.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] -viperboy-:
Correct.

Hello guys,

This rom N910PVPU1ANK2, is for CDMA?

Can you tell me if it has the Brazilian Portuguese language?

Thank U!
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] arrogant437:
Does anyone know if theres a stock recovery only tar/img file available?. I made a nandroid of my unrooted stock after i odin'd twrp but i need the stock recovery just in case
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] ibcenu:
Read the bottom of post 1 in this thread...except for knox...this brings everything back to stock
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] arrogant437:
Thanks ...i read that already but im only looking for the stock recovery. Not an entire stock unrooted rom.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] TechnicianOnline:
Strange... so I've had issues with Custom Roms and now downloaded the lastest update on this thread.

Used Odin and left it all as default, it worked just fine. Drivers picked up my device, then flashed the firmware.

I keep getting a boot loop though, any idea? Could I have bricked this device beyond repair, is that even possible if I'm able to wipe it with Odin?

Thanks! here is the log btw.

Re-flash it.. try again

good luck
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] millerboy3:
That log shows nothing wrong at all, but a successful flash.

Try to move to a different usb port on your flashing device, make sure its in download mode from a battery pull. Try to download from another source/mirror maybe but the md5 checks out so that shouldn't be the problem.

I know Odin hate my front USB 3.0 ports on my PC but is ok with the rear ones. But works on all the 2.0 ports.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] TechnicianOnline:
Quick update, it was stuck on a boot loop after flashing the stock firmware. Tried it 6 times on diffrent ports and diffrent computers.

Still same results. Successfully flashed.

I then decided to get into the stock recovery and select factory reset/wipe data.

Ran the setting and it booted up just fine after resetting.

I then had to reprogram the phone to Sprints network. Now its allllll good.

Weird issue, but now its fixed. Hope it helps someone else who was in my shoes!
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] pbedard:
You have to wipe your internal storage and issues will be fixed
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] chriswbush:
Here we go with a "fix" on a thread that reads stock tar that people wouldn't think to click twice on when lp is right around the corner ;)
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] millerboy3:
I think that went over my head. Nk2 has been out ages. But in order to flash any Roms and have everything functional (if you are just getting your device) you need to flash this tar first. Or the rom will have some random broken things
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] beezar:
It's probably the safest way to unroot as well
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] Beherrschen:
I finally got time to do this. I almost immediately got a notification that a sim cannot be detected abd continue to get it several times a day. I must then reboot to get the notification to go away and get back the ability to text and pick up 4g. Any thoughts? I have re-odined everything, tried different roms (both ported versions and Sprint based ones), and taking out the sim and putting it back in. Any ideas? The error is coming from the nk2 system ui.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] jhill110:
Sounds like a bad sim. You will probably have to call Sprint. Check out this thread:

[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] rawintellect:
Thanks OP. I had 0 problems upgrading my Bootloader from NIE to NK2. I just flashed this through odin, then flashed TWRP 2.8.5. Then restored from my NANDROID my /system and /data partitions. I then reflashed my AEL kernel and all was well. Didn't lose a thing. Including root. No reboots. No force closes. Nada. Cleanest upgrade I ever did. I don't know why others are having issues but this was easy peasy. :)
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] Beherrschen:
I did search but it seemed to coincidental with the upgrade to think it was hardware. Figured I'd ask before going through, what some described as a giant hassle, getting a new sim from Sprint. Thanks for the reply!

Edit: Got a new sim installed yesterday and it seems to be working fine so far. Been a couple weeks since I didn't have the error message waiting for me in the morning. During the twelve hours it has been installed I probably would have gotten the message multiple times now (depending on how quick I was to restart the phone after receiving the error).

Sorry for clogging things up here but I was worried it was related.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] jhill110:
Good luck! Btw, I have an unused (new) sprint sim... ☺

EDIT: For those needing a sim, I have found that going through Sprint's international department is hassle free.

Sorry to get so off topic...

Hey all, I used odin and the tar posted in OP, after it finished I noticed I still had everything from before, all m contacts and apps and stuff. I just thought this was going to erase everything? was I wrong?
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] bimmerbot:
You were wrong. It replaces the boot image (recovery and system), but leaves your installed apps and data. :)
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] j00manji:
Awesome, I was able to install the lollipop update after using this tar. Sometimes it's good to be wrong lol.

Does anyone know if I am running a Custom OB7 ROM, can I just Download the Stock OB7, Drop it on my SD card, and do a clean install using the Stock while remaining rooted so I do not have to re-do everything for the 101st time :)

Only way to do that is download a stock rooted rom. Otherwise no, Odin again.

Basic question...

Do I need to be unrooted to get OTA updates? Or...

Is there any way to get OTA and be rooted?
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] Greek81:
Connection optimizer running too high?

I had some issues after I used the sqlite method to hack wifi hotspot. My wifi would not remember stored connections unless i turned on and off. Then I noticed connections optimizer was using more than 50% of my battery. I dont know exactly why but it was killing my battery. So I did factory reset. I havent hacked wifihotspot yet, I want to see what happens running stock with no hacks. Wifi is working fine and everything else seems good so far. Been 24 hours and connections optimizer is using 19%. i never really payed any attention, is that normal??
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] dmisselh:
I always turn connection optimizer off.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] Soulforged666:
Ditto, biggest waste of battery and not allowing you to use your unlimited data if you have it :D

Sent from my SM-N910P (Note 4)
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] Greek81:
so its not needed right? I didnt think so but wasnt sure.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] millerboy3:
Simply put, Yes you do need to be STOCK unrooted. That means not even a custom kernel/recovery.

Just turn off connection optimizer, its capabilites are good in theory but the way it actually functions is completely silly -_-
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] dmisselh:
My feelings exactly. Good concept but poorly implemented it kills your battery for no good reason.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] millerboy3:
I wouldn't say for no good reason... More like a failed attempt at a good reason? Lol What we need to find out / potentially change to fix it, could simply be the constraints the app uses to decide whats a "good connection" as well as how often it checks it, and the method it checks it. With the connection optimizer on at home, mine prefers my 2.4ghz wifi over my 5ghz. why? I don't know considering my speed tests are better, my data transmission between devices is better, and my general throughput is better. I checked it 15 ways from sunday. Now this is assuming that it actually decides to use the wifi instead of the LTE while I'm sitting 6-13 inches from my router thats sitting on my desk -_- and I'm getting less than 2 bars with LTE and can barely load data from the xda app to read a message or a posted reply.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] malia420a:
can I go back to NK2 from official BOB7?
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] samep:
Yes. Factory reset and power down. Odin flash NK2 stock tar.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] malia420a:
I've tried many NK2 tar files and all it does it stay stuck.on the Sprint Spark yellow screen and my phone won't boot up....bad tar files?
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] samep:
Are you following the steps above?

If so, use the same steps and go back to NIE Stock tar instead. If you want NK2, don't root but take the OTA update from NIE to NK2 before rooting. Disable the auto check for software update once you get to the firmware revision you want to start with.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] malia420a:
I'll try that man thanks i just feel like using CM12 again....I'll keep you posted in a few hours lol
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] millerboy3:
You didn't do a factory reset after you flashed BOB7 did you? Or did you do it just after you flashed the NK2 stock tar? Either way, if you are bootlooping from stock tar to stock tar, factory reset in recovery should fix it.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] riironman:
confused

i did this tar and i thought it would of kept me on kit kat and just brought me back to factory. i was on stock rooted kit kat. did this upgrade everything to lollipop including modem and kernel? now all i have to do is flash the rooted tar?
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] samep:
Yes, it's all stock un-rooted depending on which tar you flashed. The latest is lollipop.

What you flash next is typically CF Auto Root if you want to root stock. However, if your goal is one of the custom ROMs, you could just Odin the TWRP tar file, then flash your ROM in recovery. Follow the OP instructions for either route you choose.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] mstieber1980:
So if i Odin the bob7 coming from a custom nk2 rom..will this be the same as the ota modem firmware ect? Then all i have to do is re root with xd auto root and flash a custom recovery. ..then i should be able to flash any custom 5.1 rom with out issues correct?
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] samep:
Correct except to be clear, the 5.1 for touchwiz is not yet released. OB7 is 5.0.1 touchwiz.

You should stay with OB7 ROMs if you want touchwiz.

CM12 is different. You'd need to factory reset to flash those; they're not so interchangeable to flash from one to the other... but I think meant 5.0.1 OB7.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] Teknoshamn:
Thanks!

YOU, sir, are a freakin' life-saver... I went around and around with Samsung and Sprint yesterday because I had screwed up my rooted Galaxy Note 4. Apparently the Kies software REFUSES to recognize ANY number that Sprint uses as a valid serial number, and to make matters worse, Samsung doesn't offer their base OS images online (like HTC, my previous phone's manufacturer) so neither of them were ANY help at all. In fact, I had to switch my service back to my old HTC ONE and wait for shipping labels to ship my Note 4 to Texas(!) (I live in St Pete, FL) for a factory rep to fix, which is outright ridiculous... Anyhoo, I started searching the forums, and came across this page; within an hour, I was back up and running, all thanks to you posting this here.

Thanks again! You totally, EPICALLY rock!​
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] mstieber1980:
This lollipop tar. Does this include everything like the bootloader and modem? Is this the official tar? Or do I need to Odin back to stock the take the ota to get modem and bootloader? Thanks
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] jhill110:
It is the official version. Stock all the way...
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] schlepprock:
Hey guys, I'm currently rooted running a custom rom. But if I wanted to go back to a completely stock rom can the OB7 file in the op be downloaded to my SD card and flashed from there? If not can someone please link me the correct OB7 stock file that I CAN flash from my SD card. Thanks..
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] samep:
Sorry, what you're looking for doesn't exist. Odin with a clean install is best if you suspect a problem.

Alternate next best option, IMO, is to follow this link with factory reset and multiple wipes as directed in the OP.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=59578778

I recommend the Odex for closest to stock. Make sure any mods flashed are Odex compatible.

Edit: I don't think you were on CM12 but one step I'd recommend adding, if true, is flash ROM, reboot recovery and flash ROM again. Not sure it applies to Note 4 but couldn't hurt.

But Odin stock tar with recommended wipes is the best solution to recommend.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] schlepprock:
Thanks, so there is no flashable completely stock rom? Hmm
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] jhill110:
Ok... Use a pc... Download the stock tar and odin it.. First wipe everything... EVERYTHING... (except external storage... DUH) and you will be as out of the box... Stock L... If there is such a thing... Effectively out of the box.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] HunterKiotori:
So i'm new to Samsung and i'm having an issue that i can't understand. I downloaded everything and got ready to odin flash the tar/md5 file and i get a fail every single time. from what i have read some places I do not have Samsung reactivation lock on and the drivers are installed correctly. does anyone have any idea what i can do? Coming from HTC Phones, I'm looking for the Samsung Equivalent of an RUU, but i'm not sure if this is it..
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] samep:
Is your build OE1? If so, full Odin tar is a no go. Do you have a full nandroid backup of OB7?

If you answer yes then no, here's a suggestion:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=61210043

You can still use Odin to root and install TWRP.

Or try CM12.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] HunterKiotori:
OK, So I think I Don't understand what this tar is for. I have E01 software so that makes sense. I do not have a back up because this phone came like this when i got it from sprint, about a week ago. So i am REALLY new to samsung. I was trying to flash the sprint hybrid rom but i kept getting reboots and i thought flashing this would help with that.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] samep:
Up until OE1 update, it was suggested to match build to ROM; stock tars were used to update or roll back to match ROM.

We're hoping the OE1 update was a fluke. I do believe Nexus has a switch to disable to factory reset lock but OE1 update didn't get it so you can't use the stock tar to roll back. Apparently, the OB7 full nandroid is the only thing found so far to successfully roll back. Many have chosen to avoid the OE1 update on account of that. Another update is being tested so maybe better alternatives are around the bend.

So the advice given is the best I can offer ATM. Sorry.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] Droid2drummer:
I never tried my nand of bob7. I might have one on my computer. Hmm...if not and your sure this actually works to downgrade. We would only need someone to make a fresh nand with system and modem etc all but leave out efs and data. That should be sufficient. However ive not read anyone having this done yet. Lol. If so its great.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] samep:
When I said roll back, I was referring to this post. He says he can flash any OB7 ROM in recovery but Odin still fails with stock tar.

Hello All, I am new to Sprint, Been with TMO for years and a rooted Note 2 about a year, and I have been reading up as much as I can. I am ready to root but am totally confused with the BOB7 update.
