Has anyone install the COH4 MBM version instead of HUI or HTS? Is that a no brand version and/or affected by hidden.img problem?

i'm getting the volume size error in odin when flashing the swedish version of 5.1.1. on my N910F (CSC PHN)

Think ill have to wait for my specific version of the Netherlands. I dont want a custom recovery so yeah... :(

[Galaxy Note 4 General] uktechguru:
That's cool. Glad you got through flashing OK. It's scary at first but pretty straight forward when you're done. Clearly you need a file that actually works though lol!

I'll keep my eye out for any further releases and update if there's any changes.

---------- Post added at 09:36 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:34 AM ----------

Check my previous posts. I've repacked a version for NEE if that's what you need or one with multi CSC.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] SquirtingCherry:
you my friend are my hero of the day ;)
[Galaxy Note 4 General] uktechguru:
Just be careful as that site is suggesting you flash the original firmware then flash their tar file which only includes hidden.img.ext4 and cache.img.ext4

You're still likely to get error when trying to flash in Odin. If you do, let me know and I'll repack the firmware for PHN :)

Edit: [MENTION=1586120]henklbr[/MENTION] says it will work so if you need any help with that, contract to him.

[Galaxy Note 4 General] henklbr:
Don't give false information, dude!

That article is made by me, I flashed the files myself in that order (and more people did), and EVERYTHING is working, even S-Note!

And I'm NOT suggesting that it is the original PHN-firmware!

It is original firmware from Sweden, without hidden.img & cache.img, and afterwards flash those 2 files from the latest PHN-firmware!

So correct your comment, dude (would be nice)
[Galaxy Note 4 General] SquirtingCherry:
Worked flawless, flashed the ROM without the CSC, after flashing i had no CSC offcourse, flashed the PHN CSC you provided and all is there with *#1234#.

Now i'm gonna do a factory reset to start clean (i was on 4.4.4. for GearVR reasons)

So yeah thanks a lot :good:
[Galaxy Note 4 General] uktechguru:
OK dude, I've put an edit to say it's working as you have set out. Why don't you just pack them together? I thought flashing HTS first caused the errors in the first place hence me repacking to get everything to work. My full repacks all have everything working including S Note and Action memo on air command.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] henklbr:
Your welcome dude! :)

Factory reset is not necessary IMHO (I didn't, and 5.1.1 is working perfect on my Note 4)

---------- Post added at 12:18 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:15 PM ----------

This way is working faster and also possible for the Vodafone & T-Mobile users in the Netherlands.

Also we get the "Samsung"-boot, NOT the -3- one...

ATM, T-Mobile is rolling out the 5.1.1 update to their Note 4's, starting in Germany & Macedonia

i have a problem. I have the international version. I tried to flash the german firmware but got the error that the volume is too big. now i cant do anything with the phone. the error happens when odin is coming to the hidden.img.ext4 file. Any solutions on how to fix it?
[Galaxy Note 4 General] banny7000:
Don't blame you its just a shame Samsung are dragging their feet with the note 4 maybe coz of the note 5 launch obviously this device is not a priority for them.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] munichsfinest:

[Galaxy Note 4 General] davidgood89:
Thanks mate. All working brilliantly. Massive improvement over 5.0.1.

Here's a weird thing: my csc is German now. Not that I care. It went from h3g to German lol. I don't understand that, maybe 3 mobile UK buy them from Germany. Who knows.

Thanks for the repack anyway!
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Broomfundel:
I had the same problem. I bought my phone straight from Samsung on launch day. Still don't know what my original csc was. In the end, just try different csc's till you find one that fits. There are tutorials on how to remove the hidden partition from an odin flashable tar. Including some pre made ones. Some of them should work as well. Just look in the note 4 general section.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] uktechguru:
If your phone is stuck on the download mode screen saying connect to kies recovery then just press volume down, home and power again until you get to download mode again with the picture of the android man and the flash the multi csc I've repacked:

https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B74pS2tbwuead202bVp5OFNIcUE

The hidden.img.ext4 files seem to be too big and flashing via Odin fails all the time. I'm looking into the new releases as they come but this link to my repacked multi csc should fix the problem. I had the same issue which is why I then repacked my own version which worked. Any problems just ask :)

---------- Post added at 07:48 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:45 AM ----------

Yeah it will probably change your csc to one of the ones in the multi csc repack I did. It's because you're coming from network firmware (H3G) but I would have thought it would have put you on BTU which is UK stock but DBT is as good which is German stock version. You'll be fine, just flash uk h3g when it's released and your csc will realign back to what it was before :)

Glad you finally managed to sort the csc problem. Apologies for not replying yesterday to your direct message to me. Been pretty unwell lately.

If you really want to know, you can check it with Kies 3 or SmartSwich. Find the "Device Initialization" option and input both your model name and serial number (you can find those beneath the battery). Before the message to connet your device to the PC, you'll see what is your original version.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Broomfundel:
Thanks,

For some reason Kies does not like the phone. But I don't mind what CSC it was. After trial and error I found BTU images flash OK when I want to reset and restart. I'm using one of the hybrids with COH right now, but it all works and 5.1.1 is so much smoother than previous lollipops.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] uktechguru:
I'm not sure if you got my message? Glad it's sorted - BTU is the most stable along with DBT as they're stock firmware without branding or bloat. What country did you buy the phone from Samsung?

Sent with my Surface Pro 3 using Tapatalk
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Broomfundel:
Bought it in the Stratford experience store in the UK. (Not that its there any more). So I suspect BTU was probably where it started.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] henklbr:
Correction in this:

BTU & PHN (TPD) are the most stable ROM's WITHOUT branding and/or bloat!

DBT firmware has bloat in their ROM's!

That's one of the reasons, BTU & PHN (TPD) have problems installing other ROM's because of the small partitions they have (BO bloat!)...
[Galaxy Note 4 General] uktechguru:
Ah I thought DBT was bloat free when we were all flashing 5.0.1 but thanks for clarification!

---------- Post added at 03:36 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:33 PM ----------

Yes if you bought from UK Samsung store it will be BTU
[Galaxy Note 4 General] munichsfinest:
Oh, that doesn't sound too good :( Hope you get better soon!

Now that I have my CSC sorted, I just realised that now I can't chance network mode. Starts to get annoying ^^

Hi all

As I'm new to this Forum - not new to Samsungs Galaxy line, have it since the first edition. I tried yesterday a FW from Sammobile, but this didn't worked with Odin. To make sure, i load the ...tar file from the link above and take this file to update with Odin, no changes in filename - and update my Note 4 without troubles with counters and such things, no root needed.

I had to take out the link because of "new user"

Thanks

Peter
[Galaxy Note 4 General] uktechguru:
The current firmware that is available on Sammobile is network branded which is why the flashing in Odin will fail. If you use the repacked version I have provided the link to, you will be able to successfully complete flash in Odin to get 5.1.1. - there's no need to unzip or extract the file as it is already a .tar file. If you have any problems, please let me know :)
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Gollo2014:
So yesterday got about 5 and a half hours of SOT. In comparison with POF2 I couldn't reach the 4 hour mark. Also there is no more battery drain presentt if you leave your phone untouched battery will not drain. Another huge improvement is performance, it now operates as a flagship device, I had huge performance issues with POF2 . Just to let you know about the update.

Did you a factory reset to get this improvements? I'm a bit lazy, it's a lot of work to do all new.

cheers

[Galaxy Note 4 General] uktechguru:
That's good to hear. What settings do you have active? Anything running in background like widgets updating or Twitter notifications - things like that? I've got a lot active so even when I leave my phone alone I get battery drain. Unless you're using power saving?

Sent with my Surface Pro 3 using Tapatalk
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Gollo2014:
No power saving ,auto brightness. Live in Argentina we recently got 4g coverage in my area so signal is most of the day weak. The numbers I gave you yesterday was all day long with wifi on. Dont forgett to factory reset the device that will get you the same numbers I got. I have facebook instagram whatsapp and hangouts running. Im rooted

Not using greenify atm. Try to disable twitter syncing all the time or disable notifications. Even if you cant do that you will see a huge improvement coming from POF2

I don't use widgets of any sort save for the flaslight.

Those 5 and have hour were mostly spent browsing the web and chatting through hangouts or whatsapp. Also a bit of facebook.

Can confirm that battery drains faster with bad 4g coverage. Even with that out of the table in POF2 I got battery drain without doing anything even with wifi on. So to be clear my battery would last 7 or 8 hours at the most no matter what, with less than 4 hours SOT. Performance was well below the s5 I had before note 4. Now things have evened up a little.

What's the difference between a repack and the official rom? I'm confused...
[Galaxy Note 4 General] POLO_i780:
The Slovakia N910F ROM is up at SamMobile, I believe it is the 1st Unbranded N910F 5.1.1 ROM.

I may just download and flash it tmrw, if the DBT OTA doesn't come.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Legatus Onoris:
I think that all 5.1.1, brand or unbrand, will be with PDA finishing with COH4 so I think that the slovakian rom will be the same as DTB, ITV and so on.

I'm waiting my country unbranded one (ITV) only to make one update and not install first the slovakian or other and then the itv too.

But I really want this update (the multitask button finally responsive!)
[Galaxy Note 4 General] matthew1811:
Nope, it is T-Mobile branded FW :)
[Galaxy Note 4 General] uktechguru:
Ah ok. I understand now. I did factory reset before flashing but have a lot of background data and widgets too. I'll have to look at it again to see what I can reduce :)

[Galaxy Note 4 General] uktechguru:
The original firmware was causing problems because of network bloat (I think?!?) that was included in the firmware package. This meant that when you try to flash the original, it fails in Odin.

The repacked version I have created, which is in the first post, removed any problems and let's you flash 5.1.1 without any problems. It is still stock firmware but with no bloat or branding and does not trip Knox.

Hope this helps :)

Sammobile normally write if there's a brand update or not. They didn't write it. That's why I thought it was no brand.

To be honest, I don't think much has changed in that department. If you found the phone laggy, you'll probably still find it laggy. And if you were alright with it before, you'll be alright with it after the update too. That's how I feel, I don't see much difference.
