My phone shows "Checking device status" in the status bar. It just does not go away. Very annoying. Apparently, it is through the 'Samsung DM Service'. Tried factory reset. Tried force closing the app but no luck. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Can anyone confirm the ability to write to SD card in apps like Solid Explorer or ES Explorer? I've always used the edit to : etc/permissions/platform/xml and added the group gid ="media_rw" to fix this. Does writing to SD now work natively? If not, does this fix still work?

Also, has anyone noticed any improvement in Bluetooth connectivity?
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] DrKaotica:
I brought my data over from 4.4 so hard to say with certainty.. But.. While on 4.4 I rooted stock and used something like this: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=nextapp.sdfix

I booted up to 5.0.1 and my third party apps are all able to write to SD still.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] theoner1:
No, I'm completely stock. Root explorer are still unable to delete from SD card. Only the native app, file folder can delete or edit from SD card.

[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] ShotSkydiver:
I've tried everything, and I can't figure out why every time the OTA tries to install, it reboots to stock recovery, says "error", then reboots back and says that the update failed.... I've tried letting it install normally, and also manually via stock recovery, and every time it fails... I'm running a fresh untouched stock system, I just restored completely from Odin, what could I possibly be doing wrong?
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] SaintZ93:
The only issue i seem to be having with lollipop is that when ever i get a text or email or what ever notification it no longer pops up on the lock screen when you use pattern lock like it did on kitkat, could be an issue or something they removed? Idkk

I would try re rooting then unrooting again but first install xposed and then wanam xposed and turn on fake system to trick the knox then do a full wipe in custom recover and format system the odin back to stock. Setup your phone as if you were to use it then install android l update

Anyone know how I can get S Health back? After this update, I no longer have the Samsung Store, or my S Health app. I can't find it on the Play Store either.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] Echo113:
Did the xposed trick and get this error. Why?
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] fastmikey1969:
I just did the OTA update and noticed the same thing.

Rooted, installed TWRP, factory reset, the it reinstalled all of the stock Sprint bloatware including Samsung store and S Health.

Now I'm just reinstalling all of my apps but people say it's faster overall so I think it's a worthwhile effort.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] dschachm:
Check out this thread, you can download the s6 s health.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] lakers1fan:
How come i am not seeing any of these new features? I downloaded OTA, non rooted and the only new features i got is the messaging over the lockscreen. No new clock, screen pinning, keyboard, smartlock, multiusers, etc. I have got to be missing something....

Am I the only one with xposed saying it incompatible?
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] Itchiee:
It's included, not sure what you have going on there. Perhaps a reset will be in order? S health works fine i use it all the time to track my walks.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] touch_rules:
Is the above whatyou mean by the "xposed trick"?

If so, what are you doing in Root Explorer? I'm confused.

Simply, follow the exposed tricks above and it will download.

If you have a custom recovery you will need to ODIN flash stock firmware (links posted earlier in the thread). This will NOT wipe your device.

Once you reboot, download and install. Voila :)

Hope this helps.

Make a Odin flashable bootloader.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] millerboy3:
I can't make a flashable bootloader I keep getting an error in odin while trying to flash it. Something likely I'm doing wrong as I've never tried to make my own tar, I've used ubuntu but not for this process. I think I did something wrong on this. However I am uploading to my AFH 4.7gb of tar O_O when its done I'll post a link. However pm me, I may be able to give you specific files.

So I just discovered that the update I uploaded wasn't infact corrupted. But it was encrypted or something?

I matched the MD5's of 4 dumps and the one ON the device. all the same! including my initial dump that was released... Does that mean its corrupted at the source and then fixed? Or is it encrypted?

How to update to lollipop 5.0.1

After countless hours of trying to figure out how to update from 4.4.4 with consistent failed updates. I've finally figured out a step by step to get it going without any hiccups.

1. Download Samsung Latest Kies Software.

2. In Samsung Kies Software. Click Tools at the top and click "Software Upgrade and Initialization"

3. Follow on screen instructions and Either Create a Backup of your Device or just Download Software and Wipe Device to Factory Status.

6. Wait for Download & Install to finish. Then setup phone as new device following prompts on your device to setup.

7. Once done go to settings and check for updates. Then Download Lollipop Update.

8. After update installs Restore Backup From Samsung Kies OR Keep as Fresh Restored Phone.

9. Download Odin and RE-Root Device.

This has been tested on 5 Note 4 devices with all positive results.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] stereo386:
Sure did, always scaning is not checked.

Can someone please tell me exactly what needs to be done to get myself some lollipop action?

I'm rooted and have a bunch of apps uninstalled, disabled, and frozen using Titanium Backup.

I have stock recovery.

I want my phone completely wiped: everything back to the way it was right out of the box. I want all the apps returned and nothing disabled or frozen. I realize that knox won't be reset, that's okay.

Then I want to upgrade to lollipop, re-root, and then de-bloat again.

Could someone please tell me the exact steps I need to take.

Thanks in advance. I got a bit thumbs up waiting for the person who can help me out here! :good:

OH my... I tried to do a factory reset, and now my phone is going bonkers.

I wouldn't even call it a boot-loop... it doesn't even make it to the boot logo. It just flashes for a millisecond the android guy with "installing system update".

Like a split second. And it's doing it over.. and over.... and over...

ahhh!! What do I do now? : (
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] hammerchucker:
1. Download the N910PVPU1ANK2 zip file from here.

http://samsung-updates.com/device/?id=SM-N910P

2. Once downloaded extract the .tar file.

3. Put your phone in download mode, load ODIN on your PC, and connect phone/pc via usb.

4. In ODIN, Select PDA and navagate to the NK2 tar file and select it, then press ok, and then start.

5. Once the flash is complete you will be back to stock NK2 (or upgraded to if you were NIE).

6. If you want a complete factory reset (all apps, ect. erased), at this point boot into the stock recovery and do a factory reset. Note: this is not necessary to take the Lollipop update.

7. Afterward boot into TW and under settings/system update choose update now. Let the 1GB Lollipop update run its course.

8. If you want to go back to having root and custom recovery, simply run CF-Autoroot and then flash the custom recovery of your choice.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] mcadamry:
It worked.

Thank you! Downloading lollipop update now!

[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] dademon02:
stock or slim (no bloatware) rooted / deodexed lollipop ?

anyone get a hold of a rooted no bloat ware / deodexed lollipop rom ?

i'm already rooted and rather than spending a day going back and then upgrading and then uninstalling figured I would ask and see if anyone has made a .zip of one already.

much appreciated
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] millerboy3:
Be patient. We are working with what we have right now.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] arielovin:
Sorry for that mistake i forgot there's no backup on stock. You could always backup your apps and information on your account.:)
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] touch_rules:
I suggest you back up multiple ways:

1. If you are using a different launcher, back that up. Nova has it's own backup in it's settings. I always make sure to hook my phone up to my computer and backup all my backups as well to my hardrive.

2. Samsung Account Backup is good to do to, it'll backup your call log and your text messages.

3. Make sure you're syncing your contacts and calendar with your Google account

4. Download "MyBackup" and you can backup all apps and system settings, no root required.

***Again, make sure all of this is backed up to your pc.

To put you at ease a bit though, CFAutoroot worked flawlessly for me and I didn't lose anything. After a few days though, I backed everything up again including my entire internal and external storage. Wiped the entire phone including my internal storage, and then restored my apps via GooglePlay store automatically re-installing my apps and then restored my card and my Nova backup and the phone works perfectly now. In fact, even with lockscreen notifications turned on, my battery life in unbelievable!

Enjoy :)

Pull the trigger?

Hi All,

I've been lurking on here for a few weeks, postponing the update on my Galaxy Note 4 until I gather enough confidence that this update won't break my phone. I use my GN4 as my daily driver and reliability and stability are high on my list.

For those who have pulled the trigger - and based on your experiences so far over the past few weeks - would you say it's safe to install or not ready for primetime?

Thanks in advance!

Most of the application's were not compatible with 5.0.1. So i flashed xposed framework and was dumb enough to read the full instructions. After flashing my phone was soft brick. So i went to the forum again and saw the instructions that thr version is not for Touchwiz. So i glashed cm11 and it worked my phone was working again but i noticed that it's been a while and my network signals are not appearing.
