Thanks for the reply. Im guessing they fixed it, because I didnt realize there were even problems to begin with and I blindly updated my Firmware and started flashing roms on TWRP. Guess I got lucky with my timing :)

Sorry for bei g away so lo g folks. Been super busy lately with family and getting ready to move. I'll be busy for a few werks during this process. If I get some free time in the eveni gs I plan to update my rom to OF5. I want you all to know that I now have a new pc and a huge thanks goes out to [MENTION=1139082]pstarkey001[/MENTION]. Without his help I would not have my new pc. This goes to show there are still good people out there who are willing to extend a helping hand with no strings attached. It makes me happy to know that what ido here at XDA is very much appreciated by so many people and you all have been awesome supporyers and team players. I'll get back to the roms & mods as soon as I can. I still havent gotten everything setup again. I did download the OF5 rom tar and get the img's extracted etc, i just have to get everything else done and planned out so i can build the new rom. I plan to make some changes with kernel & audio mods, etc. Anyways thats all i have for now. Thanks everyone for holding this rom thread down. Hybrid Rom will always be here as long as Im arou d to build them. I'll be back soon!

updating firmware?

I am on N910PVPU1ANIE and was thinking on updating to the latest. From what I can tell, I can odin the new firmware onto the phone? Just making sure. I will do my backups, both titanium and nbackup. Thanks...
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] samep:
Yes, you can Odin OB7 stock tar but I'd recommend backup your apps, downloads and media on internal memory and wipe everything but ext sdcard (Apply a few wipes and format data partition a few times too), power down before Odin of stock tar and initial boot.

Then root and Odin custom recovery, make a stock OB7 nandroid backup to ext sdcard, wipe again as before and flash latest hybrid from ext sdcard (check md5 hash). I'd recommend removing case and ventilate your phone to keep it cool on initial boot immediately after hybrid flash; it takes several minutes and phone and display gets warm disposing the yellow Sprint splash screen until finally displaying optimizing and starting apps. I carefully remove battery cover and prop the phone up to ventilate both sides of phone {CAUTION: don't let the battery fall out}. Coming from KitKat, I'd say you most likely haven't experienced the heat and delay of flashing a custom lollipop ROM. Heat is not only the first initiation your phone will experience in lollipop but every lollipop custom Rom will do this while optimizing and starting the dalvik cache directory. The stock tar doesn't do this because it flashes optimized dalvik with it.

A clean start will lessen the initial boot time and set the partition and directory correctly. Otherwise, you'll experience lag.

[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] tx_dbs_tx:
I'm back up and running again with a new machine. So now I have to decide how to proceed with the new build OF5. I'd like to make an odin flashable bootloader to revert back to OB7 in order to eliminate that whole bag of worms. I'll need to test this and see if it's even possible to revert it once it's been updated to OE1 or OF5. My idea with this is to make it a very simple method to revert the bootloader to an earlier version so people can flash whichever om they want with no hurdles. However, I think it will be too much trouble and may not be possible but I will try.

I also have to figure out which kernel, audio mods, etc I want to go with. Also... same as before, gotta run fully deodexed framework in order to have several mods such as 5-way reboot, high-volume warning, usb connect/disconnect notification sound, etc. I will build a fully deodexed rom first for those who don't mind a fully deodexed rom. Afterwards I will build an odexed version for those who want to take advantage of odexed optimizations minus a few of those mods. Bare with me while I get back into the swing of things and research any issues with the new otas'so I can prepare myself since I've been away for a while. If you know of any issues or other things that I will need to know then please feel free to send me a pm and help me get caught up! Thanks.

Welcome back. No matter how many times I try out different Roms, yours is the one I always come back to. It's fast, stable, and has really nice options. Thank you for all that.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] tx_dbs_tx:
Thank you! I plan to continue making roms with the same general concept in the future.

About rolling back the bootloader... NOT gonna happen. It seems there's a Samsung key as well as a certificate that must match or else the bootloader flash will fail. So the idea of rollingback the bootloader WILL be more trouble than it's worth if not impossible without that Samsung key which is not available publically. So going forward we really have no choice but to go along with the new bootloaders and make the best of it. what this means is that everybody who wants to flash the new OF5 TW based roms will need to first update to the latest official OF5 rom via ota or odin before you'll be able to flash a custom OF5 rom. Oh well, no biggie. Correct me if I'm wrong here..

Welcome back sir. Any chance you'll consider re-releasing the OB7 version for those of us hesitant about the path of no return that is OF5? Don't get me wrong I'll most likely tack the 5.1 ota when it drops but I'd rather wait til then before moving off of OB7.

Again welcome back and thanks for all you're hard work for us.

You can just flash the new baseband that freeza posted in general... and it will keep you on the ob7 bootloader but have the of5 baseband aka modem

Hey [MENTION=1503720]tx_dbs_tx[/MENTION] ! Glad to hear your back up!

I'm 2.3 but thinking of your stock ob7 deodexed. 1 q, how would I get the 4 way menu over to it? Is it just a matter of swapping a jar?

Thanks, and again it's great to see you back in the battle, ?
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] kenjesse:
Trust me I've tried using his method and two or three other methods. All fail to hold on my phone causing boot loop. Only way back is Odin ob7 tar, root, install twrp, restore backup. I can do all that in the dark blindfolded now LOL.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] tx_dbs_tx:
I'm with you on this. I have yet to update my phone from OB7 due to the new bootloader. However the new security features will not be going away and 5.1 bootloaders will surely have it if not more so. So I doubt it makes any difference wether you update now or wait until 5.1 releases which I feel will be a while.

Hello friend! Hey just swap out "android.policy.jar" inside the framework folder with one from my X-Series 2.2 or 2.3 rom but MAKE SURE it's from a deodexed rom only. Odexed rom has all the framework files elsewhere in oat files and the files you see in the framework folder are like place markers for what's in the art directory.

For those thinking you are rooting 5.1.1, you are not. All you are doing is flashing a ROM that is Android 5.0.1 and rooting. This is pretty much just downgrading the Android version and will not have any of the new features that came with 5.1.1. Only thing your on is the OG5 baseband.

[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] tx_dbs_tx:
OK so I see 5.1 is released but I have no clue what to expect. The truth is, I haven't had time to do anything nor do my homework with the new softwares. Thanks for the heads up though. I would also recommend waiting before you take the 5.1 ota because you don't know if you'll be able to root any new ota... so unles you want to be the guinea pig then don't take ota's without first learning if there's root and also what changes there are and how it will effect flashing custom roms. This goes without saying folks. Nothing new here. OTA at your own risk until you know what you're getting into.

[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] schlepprock:
Hey guys I'm asking this here because I'm running Hybrid X 2.2 rom. I've been running 2.2 for a long time now. Lately busy box has been popping up with a message saying busy box needs updating. But after I updated it a pop up keeps appearing about busy box pro. Since this has been happening my phone has become very battery heavy. I have since disabled busy box and uninstalled all bb updates. My question is this, do I need busy box, what is it for, what does it do??? Thanks...
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] tx_dbs_tx:
The links are in the op. Not sure why you are having problems with my AFH links.

EDIT: sorry I just noticed that my op was edited by Invisibilityand the links were all changed over at hybridroms.com. I will be fixing this in a little while when I get on my pc. I will be providing my androidfilehost links again. Sorry about this folks. Problem is now resolved and nobody will be editing my posts anymore without my consent. For now, just go to androidfilehost and search "txdbstx" and then browse my Note 4 device section. All of my roms are in organized folders. You should see the roms there. If not I'll have to re-upload them.

The short answer is yes you do need busybox if you're installing things that need it. Here... read the first reply in this thread. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1261946 It explains it very well. Saves me time trying to explain. Anyways try updating the binary in the busybox app itself after you update the app from google play. Also one thing to note is that the updated busybox app is located in data/app directory while the original remai s in the system directory. I would do this... Pull the updated busybox apk from the data/app directory and replace it in the system app folder and set permissions & reboot. First copy the updated apk to your sdcard. Next uninstall all busybox updates via application settings. Next use root explorer and replace stericson-busybox in system app folder with the new version and set permissions. Next reboot. Last open busybox and update binaries through its own built in update utility. Done. This should fix your issues. If not then my advice is to leave busybox alone and DON'T updaye it from the rom's pre-installed version because in all actuallity you really don't have to update it unless it's not doing it's job when certain install scripts need it. Just leave it be. It will be perfectly fine. This same rule applies to supersu. If it's not broke in the rom then there's no need to update it. This rule never fails me.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] schlepprock:
Thanks tx. I reinstalled it but will try your suggestion a little later. The only reason I updated it was because I kept getting a binary needs updating so and so. Thanks again.

Just a heads up. I'm working on a new build from the OG5 tar ball. Hopefully between now and the time I get it finished someone will have a OG5 kernel ready with all the bells & whistles. I'm aware of freeza's stockish kernel and unless someone else puts out another custom kernel then I'll see if he doesn't mind if I use his for the time being. All that aside, there's a lot of stuff I have to do to get the OG5 X Series rom updated with all the mods, etc in 2.3.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] GhostAssassin:
You should add freeza's kernel his note 3 kernel was smooth and the battery life was top notch

[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] tx_dbs_tx:
For those of you who are still on the OB7 bootloader and want to stay on it... I made an odin package of the complete OG5 ROM with the OB7 bootloader. It's the COMPLETE stock OG5 tar ball with the exception of the bootloader which is OB7. I tested it and successfully updated my Note 4 to OG5 without the new bootliader. If you never took the OG5 ota or odin'd the official OG5 rom tar AND you updated to OG5 by simply flashing the modem and the stockish rom zip then you need this. Theres a few critical partitions that need to be updated and you can only do that with the official tar ball or take the ota. I will upload and post a link later today. I don't think this odin package will be able to overwrite your newer bootliaders but you can try. It will simply fail in odin and you would have to start over fresh with the official OG5 tar in that case. Link coming later.

Will you be putting up a deodex services.jar file for hotspot for OG5?
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] tx_dbs_tx:
Yes, the first step in properly updating to OG5 (5.1) will be to wipe everything and flash my custom hybrid odin for OG5 with OB7 bootloader. From there you can carry on as usual without the locked down bootloader. The OB7 bootloader should not hinder the ability to flash kernels but the OG5 kernel is recommended for OG5 software so we'll need to use [MENTION=309990]freeza[/MENTION]'s stock rooted kernel.

Absolutely. Working on that also. I'm trying to see about adding two or three reserved posts on page 1 so I can post mods, etc. The mods and the thread clean up resulted in me losing my reserved posts so I dunno how to go about this. I might have to start a completely new thread :rolleyes:

So... for now here's my custom Hybrid OG5 tar ball with OB7 bootloader. VERIFY THE MD5 before flashing in odin!!! ONLY FLASH THIS ON YOUR PC!!! NO MOBILE ODIN!!! https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24052804347791442

This is a zipped tar so unzip it before flashing. The md5 on AFH is good and is for the actual downloaded zip file not the extracted tar.

If try this on your OE1 and newer bootloader let me know if it successfully flashes or fails for you.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] zdragon:
So, I'm already on hybrid 2.3. Can I just flash this over the current ROM? And then do I need to flash the FREEZA kernel? thanks
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] tx_dbs_tx:
Yes, that's what I did on my first test of my custom odin rom package. However a clean wipe of everything from your current recommended. Once you odin this rom then flash freeza's rooted stockish kernel and then flash SuperSU. This will give you a clean stock odexed OG5 rom with all of the partitions updated correctly from now on.

I'm working on a new base rom so bare with me folks.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] zdragon:
thanks
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] zdragon:
Should have asked this the first time. What about the baseband? Does flashing this eliminate the need to flash the baseband from Freeza's post also?

thanks again.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] kbrn:
If you flash the tar he just released, it only keeps the ob7 bootloader, you don't need to flash the baseband.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] jhill110:
Sigh...
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] tx_dbs_tx:
*New* OG5 Hotspot Mod now available! Works with Odexed and Deodexed roms.

My custom odin rom package includes the baseband (modem and apn bins) so it doesn't matter. You already have them but there's no harm when they get reflashed with the odin package. The important thing is that the carrier partition, persist partition etc will be written correctly just like the official OG5 tar ball so you can rest assured that your phone is updated 100%.... except the bootloader.

I just uploaded the new OG5 hotspot mod for everyone on OG5. It will work for odexed AND deodexed roms. I made a custom script that will remove the corresponding odex file if you're on an odexed rom. So just flash in recovery and reboot, that's it. Tested and verified by myself.

You can grab it from my mods section on page 1, post #2.

I hope this helps some of you and you continue to be patient while I work on the new rom... I got the base rom built, I just need to update & tweak root to make it more seemless and do the mods. It's coming along as time permits. :)

In another thread regarding "itson" you said:

I knew Sprint would eventually activate Itson. It's been there for a while now but wasn't turned on or being used. Now stock unrooted users will have a huge invasion of privacy! There's a lot of things Sprint can pull via Itson. I'm waiting for the official tar then I'm going to town on this nonsense.

Curious if you've looked into this and can/will it be able to be 100% removed from you ROM's now that it has been turned on in 5.1.1?

I know the HTC guys had all kinds of trouble with it.
