[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] k1darkknight:
I posted this a while back, but I'm updating it, since I think I've managed to bork certain parts of my system. Rather than try to fix it, I think I want to just switch to a new (actively developed) custom ROM, as development for Maximum OvrDriVE for the Note 4 seems to have been halted. Quote below edited to remove irrelevant parts. Updated info in bold.

My "About device" screen lists:

. . .

- Model number: SM-G935T (which makes me think this ROM was ported from the S7 Edge)

- Android version: 6.0.1

- Android security patch level: July 1, 2016

- Baseband version: N910TUVU2EPE3

- Kernel version:

3.10.40-BeastMode-N910T[3]-r56-RAGE

freeza@ubuntu #56

Wed Jun 29 12:34:43 PDT 2016​

- Build number: MMB29M.N910TUVS2EPG2

- Rom Version: Maximum OvrDriVE MM v3.2

- Release Date: August 30th, 2016 (another reason I want to switch, to have a newer ROM)

. . .

- SE for Android status: Permissive

. . .

So, any suggestions for another ROM that will keep most of the Note 4 features intact, or a combination of a more stripped-down ROM and addon-package, to retain Samsung's S-Pen functionality? To me, the most important S-Pen feature IS the pressure sensitivity, but I DO like some of the other features (i.e. the hover-pointer). Please let me know. Thanks guys!

Hi, I might be asking a lot since it's been a while since I root'd my phone.

I root'd my phone months ago on version 6.0.1, and I just want to know what I would have to do to bring it back to stock 4.4.4

Sorry if this kind of question isn't allowed, but which ROM is going to work best with RetroArch?

I would like to hear people try it out themselves on their ROM of choice. I can't ever seem to get N64, or even SNES ROMS (the other kind of ROMS :p) running at full speed.

Take a look here and use Titanium backup. I would freeze them first just to be safe. Also make sure u have a good backup of your rom.

Thank you!

I appreciate the direction, I know the thread you speak of as I read the entire thing early on in my search for tethering. Unfortunately, that would be a root only solution and I'm looking to stay stock for now, which is why I was hoping FoxFi was working at least with USB. Thank you though!

[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheCuriousOne:
I have a T-Mobile ( SM-N910F). The only Roms which work on my phone are the international Roms. They all have 2 small problems. Booting my phone with WiFi on gives my phone a factory reset warning which turns the Wi-Fi off, nothing else. I can turn it back on our avoid this happening by switching WiFi off before rebooting. The second problem is fingerprint scanner not working. It gives an error message. It's not important because I have never used it.

I'm asking a different question though. Is my phone a T-Mobile phone or a SM-N910F international phone? I can use ONLY a T-Mobile recovery but can I ONLY flash Roms from the international section.

Does a T-Mobile SM-N910F ROM exist? Am I using the wrong ROM? I'd be very grateful for any words of wisdom!
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mgbotoe:
That is an international device hun. I haven't taken a look at twrp for a while but won't be surprise if they made it universal among the note 4 devices (ones that are unlocked bootloader that is) by now. For you to run a tmobile ROM it will need to be ported in the same sense international has been ported for us tmobile users.

As for your WiFi issue, is it happening on every ROM or just some few specific ones? Have you tried a complete Odin? And make sure which ever recovery you are using, it is the latest.

Cannot achieve root anymore nor twrprecovery

Ok so here's a new one I think.. I am not new to rooting and flashing but I've been out of the game for a while.

Ive previously rooted and flashed twrp recovery on my tmobile note 4 and also flashed a rom. I seem to like my phone's stock now. No issues no problems. Now I am running into a problem, I can flash stock tar through odin no problem but i cant seem to root or flash a recovery. Ive done it before but now I cant, It consistently FAILS. My only option is to try a different cable. Any thoughts? Anyone experience this? I will see if I can get another cable and possibly another computer. In the meantime Im open to suggestions. Thank You
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mgbotoe:
Seems you got it covered. Only incident I've personally seen those fail is with a bad cable. I try to use stock cable when I odin, its very odd. One cable that works on one computer sometimes dont work on another (after market ones). i usually got several spares laying around.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fcpelayo:
yeah but if i restore to stock it works with the same cable? I couldnt possibly think that the root and recovery files all of a sudden went bad. Thats what trips me out and just fyi i redownloaded all files just in case. So restoring to stock works but root and recovery dont.....

Can't flash Philz recover & Titanium BU doesn't seem to work.

Hello, I think I have a similar problem. I had it rooted before it worked then it didn't I re-rooted the phone and now can not add philz recovery ( which i liked) the recovery on it now seems to not have wipe-dalvik cache and all of the backup options on philz.

I also notice Titanium BU won't list the apps. I ran several options on it, list, backup, check and they all in aflash say sucessfull yet "0" apps are actually backed up. I've uninstalled and reinstalled it and permission apps needed. plus their updates.... nothing seems to work. Not sure what to do really or just give up. But I use to use Titanium a while back and would like it again.

Sound like you got stock recovery and not twrp. Also sound like you lost root though I'm more leaning towards u didn't set it up to see your back up. When did you reroot exactly? After an Odin or did you reroot an already rooted ROM? O.o

Don't hesitate to correct me if I am wrong but I believe if you look at the Philz thread there was a partitioning data issue for US veriants Note 4. Dynamic Kat is an awesome Rom but do not believe Philz will work with it.

Thanks ....

Yes i do have stock now

This is the order of things:

Rooted, confirmed root with app

Installed rom...and a bunch of addons...

One of the addons froze the phone so i had to reflash since i couldnt access recovery.

The reflash some how removed the root according to titanium and thenroot check app

I then rerooted with odin.

I foolishly didnt create a backup immediately after the first root so i didnt have a way back.

Now it seems im rooted again but titanium wont work. I would like to create a backup so i wont have to reinstall all of the apps and settings again.

Hey guys, literally JUST switched to a Note 4 from a Nexus 6. I loved that phone but damn, the build quality issues...

Anyways, I already rooted, flashed a custom rom, etc. but now I went back to complete stock. Here's my issue - is there ANY way to reset the flash counter back to 0? Triangle Away seems to not be updated with the Note 4 nor does it seem like Chainfire wants to continue developing it. Am I SOL with my warranty voided or are we waiting for a way to reset the flash counter? Thanks.

I would imagine since the introduction of Knox that triangle away wouldn't matter much anymore but to answer your question....yes your warranty is now void and no there is no way to reverse the counter as of yet. BUT I have had to warranty 2 S4s, 1Note 3, and 2 Note 4s so far and not one time has customer service ever bothered me with that issue. I wouldn't stress on it..flash away my friend and if something goes wrong with it, flash back to official stock and take it in. You should be fine

I'm considering switching to T-mobile from Verizon, but I tether A LOT with Verizon and was looking to see if there was any way to tether more then the 5 gb that is included with tmo's unlimited plan.

Okay I'm back again with another question.

So what's the deal with the bootloader situation on Samsung phones? The last Samsung phones I've had were on Verizon so Outler had to crack the bootloader to unlock it. How is it different here? Is there a need to unlock or do I just root, flash TWRP, and bingo? I'm so confused with all this Samsung crap on top of Android compared to the pure Android phones I've used for a while.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lances1027:
I was on the s4 Active and it was locked. Had to use Aroma and such to set new partition for flashing. The Note 4 is not the same. Odin CF Root, Odin Twrp and your off. Not sure the reasoning they try to keep from customizing our devices. That's what we all love about androids. If we didn't care we would join the sheeple of IPhone users
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ShrekOpher:
If you have the TMOBILE version of the Note 4 or the sprint version the bootloader can be unlocked using CF auto root. It allows you to install a custom recovery like TWRP no need to patrician anything. If you have the Verizon or AT&T models you are SOL and will probably never have root.

Not necessarily a noob, but I just got my Note 4 after battling with myself deciding to trade in my Nexus 6.

So quick question, with all previous versions of the Note that ive had note2 and Note3 you could flash any international rom as long as you had a Tmobile kernel

Is that STILL true?

Now i know there an Exynos and a Snapdragon variant of which i assume US being Snapdragon always.

SO Im thinking any Snapdragon ROM will work on my TMO note 4 as long as I flash the kernel after flashing the ROM.

Cuz Im itching to try the N910F BOB4 TW Lollipop rom

TLDR: International Snapdragon ROMS work on Tmobile Note4?
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AlkaliV2:
Sounds like a rare hardware issue and if it were me I would exchange it for another one before the return period is up. A simple fix might be holding down the camera icon in the apps menu, dragging it to "App Info" in the upper right, and a new menu will pop up and you can choose "force stop" and then "clear data" and it will reset the camera. If it works I could not guess for how long and I would encourage you to download Google Camera from the play store and see if the black screen persists on that app. If it does then it is definitely a hardware issue. If it does not there is something (possibly a bad microSD card?) Causing it to corrupt the camera app.

Edit: I just noticed that you said "contacts" stops working as well. Does she have Facebook installed and does she let it provide her contact pictures as well?
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mgbotoe:
I always advice with a brand new phone (sound crazy I know) to factory reset before trying anything. Just easier for me to eliminate any future things....

But before doing that, did you try clearing the cache? Also you can go through stock recovery to clear caches as well ... I can't remember if you can clear dalvik on stock but try those first before a full factory reset!
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mgbotoe:
Yes, we can flash international but it is not as easy as it was on the note 3 and 2. You need to flash [MENTION=511819]turilo[/MENTION] international fix, than a kernel of your tmobile choosen. If you do not want to go through all of that, he reported I believe 3 international roms? The popular ones atleast so give those a try! and yes, only snapdragon version.

Question 1 - How can I get unlimited tethering with this mod ?

Question 3 - Does S pen work with this ? by downloading some app or something ?
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ShrekOpher:
1.) Tethering should work out of the box, not sure if it is traceable by TMO or not.

2.) WiFi calling will not work, but you can use Google Voice and hangouts as a work around for this if you want. I use hangouts to make/receive WiFi call all the time.

3.) The sPen works, but does not have any of the features it uses on TW. It is basically just a mouse. There are apps you can add to get some features back, but nothing like what it does on TW.
