So, I downloaded the file.

Extracted the 7z file, and I have a tar.md5. Is this the file I have to load into Odin? And if so, BL? AP? CP? CSC?

This would be the first time I flash something on a personal device.

And, just making sure, I'm not rooted. I can load this onto my phone and continue to get future updates OTA as my phone is a DBT phone? Also, this won't void my warranty with Samsung?

Thank you for your work :)
[Galaxy Note 4 General] alom5:
Put the file in AP and flash away.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] StevePritchard:
The md5 file is what you want, and you load it into the AP section in Odin. Knox is left intact, so no warranty implications.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] zkyevolved:
Thank you very much for your message. I also need to put it into download mode, correct? (power, home and vol button), right?
[Galaxy Note 4 General] alom5:
That's correct, vol down + home + power , then press volume up to get into download mode
[Galaxy Note 4 General] zkyevolved:
And would you guys recommend completely resetting (hard reset and clearing cache) after flashing?
[Galaxy Note 4 General] StevePritchard:
FWIW I haven't reset after either of the flashes I've performed - they have both been dirty flashes.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Batfink33:
I'm pretty sure you need to flash the BOC5 bootloader, Boc4 modem as well as the BOC 5 rom.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] zkyevolved:
Dirty Flashing is when you don't factory reset after flashing? Haha.

I just wanted to thank you guys again for your help and for not making fun of me! My flashing went well! :) The device does feel snappy, that's for sure! :) Battery life to come tomorrow ;)

I didn't need to flash anything but the file they mentioned above. Going to the about device I can confirm I now have 5.0.1 with BOC4 baseband, and Build BOC5.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] StevePritchard:
No, not necessary. They all get applied with the AP flash (at least according to the "phone info" app).
[Galaxy Note 4 General] uktechguru:
Your CSC has to be the same in all sections to allow for ota updates like the picture I've attached. If the CSC info is different, you won't get ota.

So for you if your original CSC is DBT then all firmware CSC and active CSC has to be DBT to get ota updates, but as I mentioned a few times, of you're comfortable flashing then having a different firmware or active CSC against the original CSC isn't really an issue. You can just flash the next update like you did with this one.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] MATT4CK:
I have just flashed this version (csc modified Israeli lollipop) and I can confirm that I still have Knox 0x0.

It seems to be running fast and smooth so far.

It may just be my phone but I think it's running cooler as well. It didn't get as hot as normal when I ran AnTuTu (which have a score of 51032).

I'm only in the first few hours of use so don't really know much about the battery life yet.

Oh and I dirty flashed over boc3 with no wipes or cache clears.

For those who care my csc has gone back to btu.

All looking good so far. Thanks to the user that modified the firmware!

You are a rock star!

I'm on 3 uk with a CSC of h3g. Can I flash the various files including this recent one.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] sahalan:
Loaded BOC5 and the performance improvement is very significant on my phone. In real world use it is considerably faster/smoother. Looking closer I have about 150mb more ram available and when I use a task killer instead of 850-1000mb free i now get 1250-1340 free. So definitely 'better' resource use.

edit: I used Antutu (for whoever cares) :51535

Wow. I don't think I've ever seen my note 4 have so much free memory. This isn't even a fresh boot (even though I did clean out my recent apps by swiping them off).

Awesome build. Over night I lost 1-2%. I as at 33% before going to bed and woke up with 31%. I do use airplane mode though. So that helps.

Still smooth. For me the biggest issue was the speed to launch app switcher speed / multi tasking button. Wow... So smooth now and fast!
[Galaxy Note 4 General] matthew1811:
Hi, do you use rapid charging? Is it as quick as in previous builds? Because someone posted that it takes longer to charge in BOC5. Well, what do you and the others who flashed think about that? I really like that my phone can charge so fast with rapid charge in Kitkat and don´t want to loose that feature. Thank you :)

OK, I get it now. But for example if I want to revert to ORX, I just flash this ORX firmware (4.4.4) and it will be back at ORX? (I´m asking because of warranty) :) And what do you think about the rapid charge in BOC5? Is it really worse/slower?? :confused:
[Galaxy Note 4 General] meule46:
Anybody else got the anoying "texting just got better" popup again in BOC5.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] uktechguru:
Rapid charge should take about 2 1/2 hours to fully charged from below 5% battery so you can gauge from that to see if it's still as fast.

As for warranty, flashing the latest firmware doesn't have any impact on warranty so you don't need to worry about going back to KitKat for warranty.

My problem with boc5 modified rom:

I had problems with using boc5 modified so I'm back on dbt. I flashed the ROM that was issued on this thread and when I booted my phone I got the "android is upgrading" message. Did you get that? After the phone booted I got Google play services had stopped message but then also got google.gapps.process.com has stopped working and then the phone would freeze with only the background wallpaper showing. I had to do a battery pull to restart the phone. Did anyone get the google.gapps.process.com message? Any ideas on this? I couldn't get to any backups and had to do a complete wipe and factory reset. Really annoyed to be honest as others haven't experienced this. I did a dirty flash like I've done with all the new lollipop updates.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] matthew1811:
But isn´t the warranty linked with CSC? They will see I don´t have the original ORX and will not claim the warranty...or:confused: About rapid charge, on 4.4.4 I can fully charge in 1 and a half hour. So, it is really slower...
[Galaxy Note 4 General] meule46:
No problems here with that. All working fine exept that anoying popup i mentioned above
[Galaxy Note 4 General] StevePritchard:
I got android upgrading message (which is normal), and google services stopped twice, but it's been fine after a reboot.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] uktechguru:
No CSC isn't linked to warranty, the knox counter is. Download knox status app to keep check on the knox status.

0x0 = warranty valid

0x1 = warranty void
[Galaxy Note 4 General] matthew1811:
Well that is great. So I don´t need to worry about CSC anymore, or aligning it, even before taking it to service centre (potentially). All I need is 0x0 in knox and they have to do the repair, no matter which CSC I have. Am I right? :) If so, I can flash and try stock FW without worries :)
[Galaxy Note 4 General] uktechguru:
I can't understand why mine did that. I downloaded from Android File Host link that [MENTION=5150393]_alexndr[/MENTION] posted and flashed like I flashed all others before. Really annoyed as like I said, I couldn't get access to the memory when plugged in to my laptop with the phone freezing. It didn't show up as a device when I connected to laptop.

---------- Post added at 08:26 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:25 AM ----------

Yes that's right.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] matthew1811:
Thank you very much I really appreciate your answers :) But that rapid charge is still on my mind. It really took you to fully charge phone for 2h30min? Even in Kitkat? Because mine is really significantly faster in 4.4.4 than 2h30...I mean, it takes 1 hour less so I´m full in 1h 30m...:confused:
[Galaxy Note 4 General] uktechguru:
To be honest, I was going from the information that my phone showed when connected to fast charger. I think it's faster than 2 1/2 hours to be honest. Only way to make sure is to try it out.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] matthew1811:
Are you sure you have ticked fast charging? :D (just kidding). And you´re talking about DBT BOC3, I suppose?
[Galaxy Note 4 General] uktechguru:
Yeah my fast charging is on by default. I don't pay much attention about how long it takes to charge but I'm guessing an hour or so. I'm in boc5 now. Just flashed it and it seems to gave worked now. Can't think why it didn't work last night :(

I haven't tried it yet on the boc5 but will be doing at some point. I'm at 75% at the moment.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] matthew1811:
OK let me know then, please. Glad that it works fine now :)
[Galaxy Note 4 General] zkyevolved:
Here you go, just for you :)

I left the clock for you to do the math and see if it's fast enough for ya! In less than an hour from 20% to 90%
[Galaxy Note 4 General] nikc0069:
If I'm currently on boc3 tpd flashed by myself, on ee locked phone with oddly an original csc of ITV, do I need to worry about partition size with the modified boc5? Don't really give a damn about csc as long as when ee roll out the wifi calling enabled firmware I can flash that over the top without any problems. Until then want the latest and greatest!
[Galaxy Note 4 General] matthew1811:
Thanks! That looks good, though. Seems like you can go from 0 to 100 in 1h 30m without problems. So it is fast, like in Kitkat. It´s false rumour, then :) Thanks again :)
[Galaxy Note 4 General] zkyevolved:
Hmm, I'd like to remember that fast charge turns off towards the last 20%? Right? So it's like normal charge... I unplugged after reaching 95%.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] matthew1811:
Hm, I don´t know. But as I said, everything seems OK with fast charge if it´s in time like you wrote :) At least I think so..
[Galaxy Note 4 General] uktechguru:
No you shouldn't need to touch the partition. You should always make sure that the repartition option isn't selected in Odin. You should just leave the pre selected options which are auto reboot and f.reset time. Just flash like you have done before.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] nikc0069:
Cheers. I don't check repartition but people were saying it had failed on certain combinations. Time to flash then!
[Galaxy Note 4 General] zkyevolved:
I believe it to be more than fast enough... One thing that for sure different is the heat. I felt none while charging.... Normally with fast charging it gets warm...
[Galaxy Note 4 General] neildunne:
Galaxy Note 4 on 4.4.4 in the UK, still no official update.

Hi, i live in the UK and i have a Galaxy Note 4, sim free, but using the Three network, my android version is 4.4.4 and my baseband is N910FXXU1ANK4. I am curious if any other person in the UK with a similar set-up has had the official Samsung Lollipop update yet? I have searched high and low and i cant find anything for definite. Or maybe the Lollipop update hasn't hit our shores yet?
[Galaxy Note 4 General] StevePritchard:
Yeah, no official UK releases yet.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] apd:
I agree with this

I am in the same position but have installed the latest ROM from this thread and all is working well.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] matthew1811:
Well, that´s only good, isn´t it? But maybe little weird, though..:)
[Galaxy Note 4 General] iom_jack:
i just download and upgrade mine to 5.0.1 , my Note 4 is sim free as well but using my giffgaff which is under o2. (but i wish i never upgrade to as 4.4.4 seem much better)
[Galaxy Note 4 General] StevePritchard:
I'm running a SIM free N4 on T-Mobile, and lollipop is great. Although, I use Nova, not TouchWiz.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Ionut Ciprian:
I'm on the same config with BTU CSC. I can confirm that no lollipop is available for us on this point. I'm almost sure than UK BTU will skip BOC3 release and jump directly to BOC5.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] iridaki:
OK, went ahead and flashed the multi-CSC version of BOC5 that was posted here -just because I was running out of ways to procrastinate. :D

My phone's original CSC was BTU, and remained as such when I flashed the German BOC3 last week.

After dirty-flashing (that's the only way I do it :p) the modified BOC5:

1. Knox still 0x0

2. As with every firmware update, first boot took a while due to the "Android is upgrading" process

3. CSC remained BTU

4. No odd Force Closes so far

5. It seems faster but it could very well be a placebo effect. It's not worse, that I can say with certainty.

6. Connects to my laptop just fine, connects to my Gear just fine, connects to my WiFi AP just fine -as it was before.

So, yeah, if your exams are approaching and desperately need to do something other than study, this will kill a good half hour! :laugh:

And jokes aside, thanks [MENTION=5150393]_alexndr[/MENTION] for the update, works perfectly. :)
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Wacco001:
Did a dirty flash from KK 4.4.4. to this one ... no issues so far ! :D

Looks and feels great !!

Came from original CSC code : PHN, now active CSC code is: PHN / DBT.

That's OK for me as I don't want to wait any longer for the PHN update.

Also Knox still 0x0 as expected on my unrooted SM-N910F .

Cheers ..
[Galaxy Note 4 General] rizzy123:
Just flashed the boc5 rom on my unlocked uk n910f, running smoothly and had no issues so far.

Anyone know how to show lock screen notifications for individual apps?

I can set all to hide sensitive content or all to show but cant find where to pick and choose which apps can show sensitive content and which can't on the lock screen.

---------- Post added at 10:12 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:09 PM ----------

Edit found it, have to turn on show all content for the option to come up for individual apps
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Ashatar:
I'm curently on BOC3 and I don't know If this BOC5 really is better or, as [MENTION=426752]iridaki[/MENTION] mentioned, only a placebo effect lol?
[Galaxy Note 4 General] matthew1811:
Well that´s funny. I decided to flash BOC5, from 4.4.4 Kitkat. My CSC - Original, FW and Active was ORX (in Phone info Samsung app). I flashed BOC5 and did factory reset before and afterwards. Now it says original CSC - DBT, FW CSC - DBT, Active CSC - ORX/DBT...:confused: I´m attaching screenshots of CSC and Firmware sections. Is it OK??
[Galaxy Note 4 General] iridaki:
There doesn't seem to be a great difference to be honest. Maybe slight under the hood changes? I don't know. It's worth upgrading though, in my opinion, after all it is a newer build.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] soyef:
Anyone know if the BBC media player app works properly on the new build?
[Galaxy Note 4 General] uktechguru:
Yeah that's totally fine. In essence they all say DBT so you'll be fine. The ROM is multi CSC but likely it didn't have ORX so reverted to DBT as the main CSC. Most multi CSC only have a limited number of countries on it. When the next releases come out for your country then you can flash that new one over this. Chill and enjoy! :)
[Galaxy Note 4 General] zkyevolved:
Was this thread renamed? It used to say for Germany DBT. Lol. Now it doesn't.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] uktechguru:
It seems so lol. Better though seem as it's more broad than just the DBT release now :)
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Ionut Ciprian:
I think i want to flash BOC3 DBT release. Any feedback from somebody already using this release?
[Galaxy Note 4 General] henklbr:
I think there's a lot of feedback already in this thread about the DBT BOC3-release...

Search & Find ;)
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Ionut Ciprian:
The last feedback i was expecting was from you. :)
[Galaxy Note 4 General] MATT4CK:
After running boc5 for about 24 hours this is my experience.

Initially I experienced a wake lock right through the first night giving high battery drain.

A cache wipe and reboot fixed that and last night's battery drain was back to a normal couple of percent.

Performance is snappy and transitions are smooth between apps.

Every now and then it'll take a second button click to get it to respond but from my experience that just happens with android sometimes. I noticed an advert in the wrong language which it no problem for me since I never really pay attention to them.

Also when the stock browser was loading this page there was a lot of skipping and reloading going on. That might be the xda sight though since I've had it misbehave on my phone before. My phone got a bit hot while loading a web page with lots of pictures and adverts but it wasn't really enough to worry longer than it took to finish reading the page.

From what I can see most of the improvements are under the hood but it makes the whole experience look smoother and the animations are pleasing to watch.

Had 5 and a half hours screen on time. No force closes or anything odd, fast charging looks normal, CSC is what it should be and unless I get the processor working hard it does seam to run a touch cooler. So there you go that's my honest review of boc5 after the first day or so running it.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] matthew1811:
Well, my feelings of BOC5 release are mostly fine. There are some bloatware apps like Pizza.de, Hotels...but they can be removed easily. One thing I´m little curious is estimated (remaining) battery time. I do attach a screenshot. I´m on 56% and phone says only 2 hours remaining. Little weird....

OK, but isn´t there a way to make all three section to DBT? So I can get OTA? I will not want to revert back to ORX (so slooooooooooow on updates). DBT is the best I think. And now, when it changed even my Original CSC to DBT (little weird for me)....I mean, is there a way to change active from DBT/ORX only do DBT? So all three sections will be DBT only? :) Thx
[Galaxy Note 4 General] jj03:
does anybody know if the boc5 can be flashed in mobile odin? i have a rooted note 4..
[Galaxy Note 4 General] uktechguru:
The only way to manually change the CSC is by rooting your phone. There was some discussion in this thread about how to align your CSC but I think you already did a wipe data before installing, right?

This is the link to the post:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=59633067 (post #1010)

I wouldn't worry too much.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] matthew1811:
Yes, I did factory reset before and after flashing. I wonder how could my original CSC changed to DBT, but I guess that is a mystery. How did you manage to align the Active CSC from DBT/? to only DBT? That´s what I wanna do now, so I can get DBT OTA :) And, what do you think about my first impressions with Lollipop in previous message before quoting you? It is little weird, isn´t it? :)
[Galaxy Note 4 General] uktechguru:
Yeah it should be fine if you know what you're doing. Need to be rooted before and have unlocked bootloader. There's some how to videos on YouTube.

---------- Post added at 12:58 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:55 PM ----------

I think as you've managed to get the bloatwear from Germany it would appear that your CSC is aligned. It would only install the bloat if your phone was bought in Germany with the German CSC.

As for your usage, it seems you've got a lot of battery drain from something. Under the graph, what is the highest drain and what percentage?
[Galaxy Note 4 General] uktechguru:
This is my battery to compare with.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] matthew1811:
I plugged it off the charger before one hour. In time I´ve screen on for 14 minutes and the rest you can see on attached screenshot. To the CSC - you wanna say that when BOC5 installed german bloatware, my CSC is alligned as DBT and I could possibly get OTA, even if active CSC is DBT/ORX? :)
[Galaxy Note 4 General] MATT4CK:
Just about to put my phone on charge (2% left) got 1 day and 5 mins from one charge on boc5 with 6 hours 15 screen on time.

Edit to add charge time.

Fully charged in 1 hour 33 mins. Fast charge working fine.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] v1rtu4l:
Don't use mobile Odin anymore. The note 4 is not supported and mobile Odin will not be developed any further. Chainfire is developing a new app which is in beta right now that will support the note 4 but it is not stable enough yet.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] TheMathMan:
UK H3G update is out apparently but not on Samfirmware yet. I can't update as rooted. Anyone have the firmware?
[Galaxy Note 4 General] uktechguru:
OK see how your battery is today. Hopefully the battery lasts longer than 3 hours! Remember if you're using the phone a lot then battery will get used up. Average is 5 hours screen time.

I can't give any definite on whether you'll get ota but everything seems like you should. Only thing to do is wait and see.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] matthew1811:
Well, I noticed, that the estimated time is changing. For example there is 96% battery and it says 10 hours left (on screenshot I´ve posted in previous post). But then I left phone alone for an hour, it dropped 2-3%, but estimated time raised from 10 hours to 1 day and 3 hours. What I wanna say - it changes with usage of phone. At least that´s what I think. Am I right? :)
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Alex Atkin UK:
Interestingly, O2 UK sent me BOC3 yesterday, their first release of Lillipop on Note 4.

Does this have the fixed GPU drivers? I kinda thought they were waiting on that.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] uktechguru:
Yeah that's right. The battery stats can't predict usage obviously so it just goes on how you use your phone and tries to estimate usage. If you're playing games, watching movies etc on your phone then the battery will discharge quickly.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] StevePritchard:
Could that be because it's a carrier branded release, so they will need to take an earlier snapshot to perform their testing, and add their apps, etc? Will be interesting to see what the unbranded BTU release is based on.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] matthew1811:
Can I ask you little off-topic advice?? Do you listen to music on your Note 4? If so, which app do you use? Or only stock Music app? :)
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Alex Atkin UK:
I don't believe O2 bother to actually customise anything except the boot screen, but they do typically take AGES to perform testing. Quite surprised this version is so recent, they were always several months old on the Note 3.

Hopefully BTU will be newer though and I will probably then switch to that as its kinda important to have the latest Samsung fixes with having the GearVR.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] uktechguru:
I've used MX player before but usually listen through Google play music app or Spotify.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] matthew1811:
MX Player?? That´s what I use for videos, but music?? I´m asking because the quality of Music player is terrible. Even my old Galaxy S2 sounded better :(
[Galaxy Note 4 General] uktechguru:
Apologies was late when I wrote the reply. Power Amp is the best out there at the moment but it's a paid app. You do get a trial though. As I said, I just usually listen through Google play music. I have tried doubletwist music player before and it was good.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] hcdav:
My 2 cents: I use Shuttle+, yes it is paid but it is the most stable and nicest looking player IMO.
