Download Samsung USB drivers:

http://developer.samsung.com/technical-doc/view.do?v=T000000117

If you have Kies installed then uninstall it.

Then take your phone's battery out and then manually boot into download mode by pressing volume down and home button when powering on.

Then flash the correct TWRP via Odin:

Kies has been uninstalled, i have uninstalled then reinstalled the drivers, uninstalled and reinstalled Odin. Still no luck showing up on any USB ports/wire combinations. Just about to reinstall windows 7.

Since the recovery flash, no PCs have been able to pick up my phone. Nothing in Device Manager. Nothing.

Just need to pray to god going back to Windows 7 works.

Hi,

N910c Exynos , TWRP 2.8.7.0 :

I had GlamourS6 ROM , working fine , I went to TWRP and backed up everything .

flashed a kernel but I did not like the performance , so I decided to restore.

No Notification bar , No clock , No theme , No background image .

Then I wiped EVERYTHING and restore again , the same happened. The restore process is successful but when the ROM starts , nothing from the mentioned above is there even if tried to fix permission.

Is there a problem with TWRP 2.8.7.0 restore processing ? or did I mistake in something ?
[Galaxy Note 4 Original Android Development] bigbiff:
Can you post the restore log?
[Galaxy Note 4 Original Android Development] APCOtech:
Log attached , plus 2 screen caps , before backup and rafter restore.
[Galaxy Note 4 Original Android Development] bigbiff:
Looks like the restore finished correctly. Can you try to wipe cache/davlik cache in recovery?
[Galaxy Note 4 Original Android Development] APCOtech:
It happened 3 times , and I had to set up all my apps all over again but that is not the problem .

the problem I had the backup on the SD, and I wiped everything and still the same , I am not using other ROMs so I can't tell if this is a ROM problem ? or recovery ? or my own mistake ? :S
[Galaxy Note 4 Original Android Development] APCOtech:
[MENTION=2638973]bigbiff[/MENTION]

I just have another go now , but after wiping everything even system and data. Then after the restore I tried the ( Fix file system ) option in advanced wipe . There I got this error :

I am sorry for bothering you a lot bro , Thanx for your time in advance

Here is the last log
[Galaxy Note 4 Original Android Development] bigbiff:
Just to confirm, you tried wiping dalvik?

SOLVED

I am having problems flashign TWRP with ODIN on a note 4 SM-n910H i downloaded the recomended version tried using ODIN 3.07 and 3.09 and it fails every single time i give it a try
[Galaxy Note 4 Original Android Development] andreasy:
Short question:

- I have brand new phone, stock unrooted (5.0.1). Can I straight flash TWRP with Odin like with S4 and later flash custom ROM?

and what if I upgrade to 5.1.1? can I still later flash in the same way if yes?
[Galaxy Note 4 Original Android Development] Battlehero:
Upgrade to 5.1.1 and flash TWRP and you are ready to go.

You can flash TWRP on 5.0.1 but when you flash stock Odin then you will have to flash TWRP again.
[Galaxy Note 4 Original Android Development] andreasy:
Thanks. I forgot to mention that my phone is 910C (Exynos). Is that answer still true?

So the problems I've read about 5.1.1 is only for people who want to use CF-auto root just to root the stock ROM? and if I just want custom ROM, kernel, etc, it's just fine to upgrade now and after 1 week to flash a recovery and then ROM?
[Galaxy Note 4 Original Android Development] andreasy:
I flashed on 910C and entered recovery before booting to ROM in order to avoid the system replacing it and after backup my stock ROM I got message that ROM is not rooted and it asked me to install SuperSU. I said yes and now I have bootloop. Could I fix this by restoring something from my backup or should I just format partitions and flash a custom ROM now?

Edit:

Ok I restored system and now I boot fine
[Galaxy Note 4 Original Android Development] Battlehero:
You need a SELinux permissive kernel for root to work on stock 5.1.1 touchwiz
[Galaxy Note 4 Original Android Development] cgbb13:
sorry for my question : i have 5.1.1 as stock (unrooted). so can i flash TWRP directly with Odin Or do i need root?
[Galaxy Note 4 Original Android Development] Battlehero:
TWRP can be flashed directly via Odin without root.
[Galaxy Note 4 Original Android Development] cgbb13:
after backing up with TWRP 2.8.7 , it asked me to install SU with the notice : it will root your device. i ve chosen do not install. My question is, what if i had chosen install SU
[Galaxy Note 4 Original Android Development] Battlehero:
I wouldn't recommend rooting with that prompt because it uses an outdated SuperSU Binary (It can be updated afterwards) If you choose to install SuperSU your phone will not boot as you are on stock 5.1.1 and you require a permissive kernel to use root on stock 5.1.1
[Galaxy Note 4 Original Android Development] cgbb13:
oh thank you very much for the information . it helped me a lot to prevent from wasting time and risk my phone
[Galaxy Note 4 Original Android Development] Ciddy:
Sorry guys for not reading the entirety of the 45 pages of this thread. I have a 910F running stock 5.1.1 flashed straight through odin rather tha using a bootloader.

There's a root method which would use twrp, but for the sake of it, I cant get any TWRP version to run. It flashes fine through Odin (3.0.7), but after turning off and doing VolUp-Home-PWR I go straight to Odin DL Screen (without the security question) rather than TWRP. I've tried:

twrp-2.8.1.1-treltexx.img.tar

twrp-2.8.1.2-treltexx.img.tar

twrp-2.8.5-treltexx.img.tar

twrp-2.8.6.1-treltexx.img.tar

twrp-2.8.7-treltexx.img.tar

All the same problem. Any help?

I did accidentally flash a "tbltecan" (2.8.5), which ran but didnt want to do anything. I deleted the SDCard/TWRP folder. The device is definitely a EU version 910F.
[Galaxy Note 4 Original Android Development] bigbiff:
Can you try a newer odin?
[Galaxy Note 4 Original Android Development] Ciddy:
Tried the same with the newest I could find here (3.10.7), but no success. When trying to enter TWRP i get the following readout:

RECOVERY BOOTING....

Then cuts straight to the following:

Could not do normal boot.

ODIN MODE (HIGH SPEED)

Product Name: SM-910F

Current Binary: Custom

System Status: Custom

Reactivation Lock: OFF

KNOX Warranty VOID: 0x1 (4)

Qualcomm Secureboot: ENABLE (CSB)

RP SWREV: S1, T1, R1, A1, P1

Secure download: ENABLE

UDC Start

which is essentially the Bootloader Mode used for Odin. Flashing any TWRP from ODIN seems to succeed, but then it just doesnt seem to exist. I'm running Windows and the device is identifying as "Samsung Mobile USB Modem" (could it be a driver issue? But then Odin shouldn't work now should it!?)
[Galaxy Note 4 Original Android Development] bigbiff:
Does stock recovery come up if you flash it to the recovery partition?
[Galaxy Note 4 Original Android Development] barril:
there is a recovery version flasheable unused Odin? ??
[Galaxy Note 4 Original Android Development] Ciddy:
How to flash to the recovery partition in particular from Odin? So far I've always used PDA (AP on 3.10.7) to flash.

The phone always ends up in Odin download mode unless when trying to get to either download mode or bootloader/recovery.

[MENTION=2638973]bigbiff[/MENTION] I had to reformat my 64 Gig Lexar sd card because it was corrupted - It's Formatted to Fat32.

I get

"unable to create folder: /external_sd/twrp/backups/8b73c610/

then date & name of my backup with this

(errno=12)

and

E:Failed to make backup folder.

It looks like if I use the auto generated backup name that it's successful - But it's only taking something like 167 seconds to backup ~ 6 Gig Which includes - Boot - System - Data - EFS - Modem..Previously TWRP 2.8.7.0 took over 600 seconds for the same size backup to the external sd card?

I've taken recovery logs - but they look like gibberish?

https://www.dropbox.com/s/9lwtwg3xwrn9pus/recovery.log?dl=0

EDIT: I was able to take the external sd card which fails to backup on the Note 4 - and insert it into my Note 3 and make a successful backup - but on the Note 4 - TWRP only sees something like 16 Meg free on the same external sd card? But there's over 50 Gig free when I check available storage anywhere else - I was able to backup to the internal storage on the Note 4 - So it doesn't look like a TWRP issue - But I'm stumped because I could make a Nandroid using the same sd card on another device (Note 3)?

EDIT: After trying to Format the sd card on my pc a couple of different ways - I was ending up with TWRP only seeing 11 Meg available - Finally I used TWRP in another device (Note 3 - TWRP 2.8.7.0) to Format (factory reset - swipe) and my 64 Gig card is back in action ?

Which version

Sorry for asking but I just want to be absolutely sure. I have the N910H, which does not appear to support LTE. Am I right that I need to use the tre3gxx version, not treltexx? What happens if I use the wrong one?

TIA
[Galaxy Note 4 Original Android Development] shaggyskunk:
Make a Nandroid with your current custom recovery (if you have one - If you don't - have the Odin Flashable Firmware on your pc)

I'm not 100% sure which of the two you mentioned is the correct one for your device - Since there's only two versions of TWRP available for Exynos & you don't believe that your device supports LTE - Sure Flash the tre3gxx - The worst that would likely happen - you might not have Data or something - I've flashed the trltexx Rom with TWRP for Verizon for testing purposes on my trltecan device - I just flashed the correct version of TWRP after - and all was well.

No worries - Unfortunately I don't have the Recovery.log on my device anymore - I think that the issue was definitely related to Android 6.0 Alpha Builds - And not a TWRP issue - The "corrupted external sd card" issue is a known bug on some MM builds (seems mostly for Samsung Galaxy Note 4) However TWRP Formatting the sd card was apparently the only solution - Using a pc or the Rom to Format didn't work - So - TWRP FTW! ??

help me

I have been running a rooted SM-N910T with rom (Darth Stalker) lollipop v5.0.1, on COD6... for months, with no problems at all. I had TWRP 2.8.4.0 installed... So today I downloaded TWRP 2870 from the official web site, and ACCIDENTALLY downloaded and installed the one for tmobile NOTE 4 EDGE (and I have a regular NOTE 4 SM-910T I do NOT have the edge)

Afterwards I realized all the touchscreen was off or not calibrated, I would have to touch a little HIGHER UP on the screen to hit the button that was lower.... think of a keypad

1 2 3

4 5 6

7 8 9

as an example, think of having to press between the 3 and 6 to actually press 9.

Well, the stylus (s-pen) still seemed to work accurately (though not in TWRP recovery), so I was able to correctly navigate back to twrp site, download 2870 for note 4 t-mobile (the correct one I needed). but the touchscreen is still messed up (still not touching where I touch with my finger, but the s-pen works and does hit where it touhces accurately)

I restored a old nandroid backup I made in twrp about 3 weeks ago, no change to touchscreen

I did a factory reset, no change

I reflashed twrp 2840, no change

I reflashed twrp 2870, no change

I wiped cache and dalvik, no change

So, trying to press my finger on the touchscreen registers too high or innaccurate, but the s-pen seems to work. THIS ALL STARTED AFTER I MISTAKENLY INSTALLED THE

NOTE 4 EDGE

TWRP 2870 and I can't figure out how to UNDO whatever it did.

I am still on COD6, lollipop 5.0.1, have TWRP 2870 installed, I reverted back to an older nandroid I made with TWRP from about 4-5 months ago, but the touchscreen is still not accurately activating where I press with my finger... PLEASE HELP ME. NOTHING I DO SEEMS TO WORK.

When you do your backup - You have to select - Boot - System - Data - EFS and Modem.

If you didn't select EFS - You can't restore something that wasn't backed up.

Does it work on stock reinstall of the firmware through Odin?
[Galaxy Note 4 Original Android Development] bigbiff:
If you want OTA updates on installed android versions 5.1 and greater, you want to keep system read-only so TWRP will not modify the partition and cause the system to not boot/update. Then TWRP will be overwritten and the next time you want to use it you will need to reinstall TWRP.
[Galaxy Note 4 Original Android Development] pavanchirmade:
Yes stock reinstall brings the IMEI back but when I back it up and then do a wipe to install a custom rom and then restore, IMEI still stays null. I have installed the proper modem too. Either way, the Note 4 has retired. So it's cool.
