Need to remove app fold from .zip

It installs and runs on Carbon ROM. But you just can't fix perfect and Carbon was born to perform out of the box. Would love a zRAM toggle widget. It runs better with zRAM off in general, but sometimes want full +256mb compression for multi-tasking with a tolerable lag.

Should not install OmniSwitch, sdMaid, and QuickPic apks.and likely other trash in .zip file.:confused:

[Galaxy S III Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BenRoman97:
It seems like my battery it's not working, My phone reboots randomly and when reboots shows a lower percentage.

A lot of friends have this same problem with the same phone. Anyone has the same error?
[Galaxy S III Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] beerwolf-crowe:
S3 mini is notorious for poor battery power but there are plenty of apps that can help with that. If your phone is rebooting a lot it could be more an issue with the rom you are using.
[Galaxy S III Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HMIDA92:
if this issue doesn't appear (rebooting itself) when the phone plugged to charger then you must change battery, this happened to me too after 1 year of purchase. i'm on stock rom, and i use too match 3g mobile data which consome huge power.

AWESOME THANK YOU! It was taking FOREVER on the official site because I refuse to pay for a subscription!

No prob, glad it helps.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] Androidwarrior:
Do you have the stock kernel by any chance?1
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] ibcenu:
Did they fix anything from the ota?

Just curious. .I have fully wiped and restored 2 times now and its still acting out.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] Doc50000:
Very cool...thank you sir....
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] LMMT:
No, but I'll try to package it up, later, if I get a chance.

This should be the exact same, as the OTA. What problems are you having?

Glad I could help.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] ibcenu:
Minor but annoying, some settings randomly gray out..s cover stops displaying and today modem went batty..
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] Greek81:
Im having some similar problems myself. Not too bad but some lag and few setting grayed out. An app or 2 ive been using regularly w/ no issues on 4.4 stock rooted, now crashe sometimes. HPEPRINT is one of them.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] spleef:
Anyone know how to extract/unpack it from the tar I need what's inside the tar.... Lol....
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] tx_dbs_tx:
Yes. What do you need? I have it all extracted and have made my own personal rom base from it.

Did you try a factory reset?
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] spleef:
All of it... If your able zip it up and shoot me a link via pm or hangouts... Been trying to use my stock back up to pull files but that's just becoming a pain... Could've used one of the stock version ROMs to do it but some modify them to their liking and I am wanting untouched straight from Sammy
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] ibcenu:
Yes. One time from recovery, another right from the settings ...also wiped everything, went back to nie, then ota up to 5.01...each time it had different issues
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] tx_dbs_tx:
I can do that but it'll be a little while. I already have system.ext4 and cache.ext4 converted and extracted as well as the modem, patch, and kernel, etc. There are a few other mbn partition files which only odin can process so i assume you don't need those or do you?
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] spleef:
I'm not sure about those but mainly the ones you listed already
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] tx_dbs_tx:
I know it's a little late but I uploaded two bone stock BOB7 roms in my other development thread. Deodexed and odexed. Either one should do what you need. Sorry i got busy working on those roms and forgot to get back to you. I hope you found what you need with one of those roms. The system files are not modified in any way. Use with confidence.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] .Bambino:
I have downloaded the md5 file and Odin. I have Odin running and I am in download mode with my phone connected to my pc. But for whatever reason when I go to Odin and select the md5 file it always says no responding. Any help would be appreciated.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] LMMT:
When you say, your computer says "not responding," how much time has passed, from when you first select the .tar file, until you try to flash it, to your phone?
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] UnKnOwNHoMeLesSDrUnK:
For me, Odin would hang for a couple of minutes too. It should kick in within a few minutes don't panic,just give it some breathing room

Thanks to the OP...i lost my wifi calling and system update. this restored everything
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] JOB Dave:
Is there a process to root this version?
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] LMMT:
Odin TWRP, boot directly into TWRP, from Odin, and flash the latest SuperSU zip from within TWRP. You'll then be stock, rooted. Or, after you Odin TWRP, flash your preferred, pre-rooted custom ROM.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] Dedline:
What if you do not want to be rooted and just want to be stock? What is the proper order if you dont mind listing
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] LMMT:
Just Odin the tar file, in the OP. You'll be then be factory stock.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] pbedard:
U can't Odin if u take the OE1 UDATE THERES SOME SCRIPT IN THERE THAT BLOCKS ODIN
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] Dedline:
Figured, thanks.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] pbedard:
I don't have the option of using this tar u can't downgrades oel
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] Droid2drummer:
It is probably extra security over the factory reset protection. That way a stolen phone cant be downgraded to bypass the lock.

However...it seems to me tmo and all already had this in their release of lolli. So I am curious if any other lollipop updated note 4 carriers had this issue? Or if sprint had a bit of play here. Lol
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] T100TA Prime:
Ran into this a few times before with Odin, and big time recently working with a Windows 8.1 Transformer. Not sure if this was the fix (when I'm in my solve the puzzle mode, I tend to get tunnel-vision) but check the Properties of both Odin and the md5. Windows will "block" downloaded software, mark it as "Read Only," and "Archive" files. Simply right-click Odin (better check the .ini file too), select Properties, and check the "Attributes" at the bottom of the window that pops up. Uncheck "Read Only," click "Apply," then click "Unblock" if it has been blocked. You'll find the Archive settings by clicking "Advanced." Then do the same for the .md5. Finally, run Odin as Administrator and be patient. One other thing that might cause issues is not having Administrator privileges in Windows. To make the account you're logged into Administrator, click Start and type "cmd" which will automatically search and find "Command Prompt." Right-click and run Command Prompt as Administrator and type "net user administrator active:yes" (without the quotes). Hope this helps.

Ya cant go to OB7 from OE1 or OF5
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] xtraspecialj:
Curious, why is it we can't go back to the OB7 Baseband? I have absolutely no understanding on how Android phone's file systems are divided and what we can and cannot access/change, but why wouldn't it be possible to completely wipe the OF5 baseband data and flash the OB7 data over it? Did the new updates make some kind of hardware change to the phone (that doesn't seem possible) or did it add some kind of software protection that blocks us from doing so and nobody has figured a way around it yet, or, lastly, is it something way more complicated that my simple mind is just not capable of understanding? Regardless of my chance of understanding it, can someone please explain what is preventing this from being a reality?

Note:Please don't mistake my questions for doubting the veracity of your statement, since I have seen this stated from other knowledgeable members on XDA as well, I just don't understand why.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] xxSTARBUCKSxx:
This isnt the first time Bootloaders and Firmware play a role in preventing the user from going back to previous bootloaders. Samsung is tightening down more and more on their..for lack of a better word. crap. Once you have taken the OE1 update, your phone belongs to Samsung. Its been explained many times of all the security features Samsung implements in their security features since the release of Knox. The reason you cant go back is because if you tamper with the bootloader(Only samsung has that verified signature required) theres a call that will blow the efuse and send the SMC, or lacking, and the only thing your phone will do is read Phone_Shutdown and youll have a nice hefty paperweight. NIE, NK2 OB7 > Samsung BullSH!T < OE1 OF5 OG(i forgot what the recent rdf showed).
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] samep:
I agree but the extra security is due to the added reactivation lock that the builds OB7 and below weren't built with.

It's not hard to lock a bootloader to root. Ask AT&T and Verizon users not on the GPE. This wasn't an attempt to block root or intentional inconvenience (although I agree it has been so for root users wanting KitKat or OB7 custom ROMs) but rather it was compliance to law makers that passed legislation to make new phones more secure. It certainly wasn't necessary to release OE1 without a tar; the madness, I'm not convinced Sprint fully knew the issue was intensified by the lack of it.

Reactivation lock has already proven to reduce iPhone theft. It prevents someone from wiping and customizing a phone as their own if they were to find it with a screen-lock enabled. I didn't imagine it this way; seems you could unlock the reactivation lock and flash anything but the mandate must call for a replacement ROM that is compatible with reactivation lock. And so it goes...

OF5 ROMs will come for those unable to flash custom ROMs without consequence.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] xxSTARBUCKSxx:
In a nutshell, yes, you are correct. Once on OG5, always on OG5. No way around it.

As far as the old Hybrid thread, i believe it is a lengthy one. Youll have to wait until someone who flashed a lot of roms during those 'days' to answer your critical Q, As i stayed on Kitkat(and still am, happily, mind you) during those days.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] samep:
[MENTION=5326532]alwright1980[/MENTION]

The only thing I'd add to the conversation is that it's been reported that you can flash any Lollipop ROM from OG5 bootloader in custom recovery by flashing the ROM plus Beastmode kernel by freeza prior to boot.

https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24052804347789588

Can't say how stable that is; I'm still on OB7 bootloader so I wouldn't use that method, myself.

Personally, I think there are capable ROMs in OG5. I'm running rooted stock with Beastmode kernel but waiting for [MENTION=309990]freeza[/MENTION] to release his custom OG5 ROM.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] alwright1980:
dat is what I thought.

thanks (and yes i hit both ty buttons for u guys) but would recoveries fail altogether o would they restore rom but with the new bootloader?

Lastly, and i don't think you will necessarily be able to answer this but wth, I cannot post to the hybrid forum thread yet as I am too junior, and I haven't looked too far into what I have to do to be able to, what would you suggest I do with the questions I hve about the fluidity of operation of the hybridx rom, as it is maddeningly choppy on out of box settings, and I am really too ignorant of the tech to know how to do the proper tweaking on my own to inprove this. That is if it is the tweaking at all that is the problem. I say this because it is hard to believe, as much as this rom has been raved about that it should run this much more apoorly than stock lolli of any version. I have to think it is user error of some sort. at this point i am inclined toa go to a deo debloat stock og5. my answer to my own question (the one from this paragraph not the recovery ?) is that I suppose I should just sift through and read as much about the rom in that forum in which I cannot post.

yep I bet that is what you'll say.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] samep:
Recoveries? Are you referring to TWRP backups or CWM nandroids? I don't know but not sure why they wouldn't work as long as you also flashed Beastmode kernel before booting.

Choppy non-fluid response of ROM could be either not clean installing or the custom kernel not optimized for your use. Some have heavy build.prop or init.d scripts that may cause issues but I suspect it's more likely kernel settings need tweaking.

I haven't dedicated a lot of effort in customizing or trying others' setups because I've found stock kernels suit me just fine in regards to key functions, compatibility, performance and battery. When kernel exploit became necessary for root in OG5, freeza exploited stock so most of that purpose is still served in his mostly stock kernel. You may consider flashing that over any Lollipop ROM you're asking about. Perhaps you don't need to flash the OB7 ROM.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] alwright1980:
Yeah I have done that and j have gotten sto og5 and deo deblo og5 to work on here aswell as hybrid but alll are choppy and non fluid with or without beast, of course hybrid x 2.3 won't run for me without beast. I never had any fluiduty problems till og5 update. Then they started and unless on a custom rom I get this Network Service Provider has stopped recurring msg. What I have read is that its an itson error and is from a resulting left over folders and files from that era, but I run at least 5 wipe passes on all partitions that I can do so. Before and on dalvik and original caches before any kind of install odin or custom recovery, and finally yes I am referring to custom backups.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] DellS7:
Does this unroot and restore factory recovery?
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] GROOVYJOSHCLARK:
Yes this is a full restore .TAR that will recover back to stock (but will not untrip Knox but who cares). Just note this is very old with numerous updates in between, this is lollipop whereas the current is marshmallow. This is also a very old forum with very much outdated information.

[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] johnomaz:
I didn't think so. I went ahead and restored back to stock and updated to 5.1 from the google factory images. I'll probably go back to CM when they update to 5.1.

Thanks!
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] akellar:
Cm does
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tasssadar:
CM does. What they're currently doing is they are checking your bootloader version, and the ZIP refuses to flash if you're not on 5.1 bootloader (because downgrading the bootloader might be reason of all these bricks). If you are, then the ZIP flashes and writes bootloader (the version you already have) and radio again.

http://review.cyanogenmod.org/#/c/91181/
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
OK I stand corrected, however, flashing CM will not upgrade the bootloader, which is what the OP asked.

The bricks mostly seem to occur for people who have locked their bootloader. They locked it then when android cannot boot, they cannot unlock it again. Most the threads I have seen have not involved anyone flashing older bootloaders yet they still have the problem. Whether, Android would boot for these people had they not locked it is uncertain. Its hard to say whether the OTA just didnt take and they didnt check it booted before locking the BL or whether the BL actually caused the loop once locked... But definitely people have this issue who have not attempted to downgrade.

One of the perks of using custom roms, I never update my bootloader.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] akellar:
The issue with cm specifically is that the zip attempted to downgrade the bootloader which isn't possible. Bad things followed.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
Ah OK. I don't tend to read threads that have "cm" in the title so I've missed that.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] akellar:
(looks at this thread title) Hmm... ;)
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
Yes. "Tend" :). This one piqued my interest as it was asking about the bootloaders though.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] randy6644:
No, we haven't locked our bootloaders. They have moved all nightlies except one left there. I think that explains sth. Thats how it happens to most of us i think. I never locked my BL, and that happens too. Maybe too soon to judge . Now all i got is a hard bricked phone.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
To be hoinest I haven't been following CM specific bricks. That may indeed be what is happening to CM users. I was talking seemingly out of context about all the other threads where peiople had upgraded using fastboot then relocked their BL's
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] randy6644:
relocking bootloader leads to a bootloop , and it's nothing like a real hard brick like mine. So sad~
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Circaflex:
but they will upgrade the bootloader to 5.1, which means those running 5.0.2 will upgrade.

Most bricks are happening because CM includes the bootloader and you cannot downgrade bootlodaers, if you tried in fastboot it will stop you from doing this. CM uses an old way of accomplishing this which force downgrades the bootloader and messes up the partitioning, resulting in a brick.

I have seen 3 or 4 cases in person from this, and those users never relocked their boot loader like you described.
