If you are not using Verizon service, you will not receive the ota Verizon update. You should be able to use kies to update

[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] freddy0872:
I havent seen anyone try to downgrade. I figured to hell with it and am applying the 5.0 update right now. Well the first of 2 updates. Im downloading the NJ5 image from sammobile and will attempt the downgrade once its completed. I thought I had it downloaded but I dont. So if someone has the image downloaded and can give me a link on dropbox or something that would be great! Trying to download from sammobile.com is exceedingly slow.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] hsbadr:
NJ5 full tar is available here.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] freddy0872:
Getting it from there as we speak. Thank you sir
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] The_other_ray:
FoxFi \ pdanet still works. But now there is an extra step when turning off FoxFi. You have to now manually turn off your phone's mobile Hotspot after you turn off FoxFi.

it hangs there a while, then suddenly installs. Patience! :D
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] hazedabeast:
Is it safe to update?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] CyberZion:
Anybody?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] tu3218:
I thought smart lock had the feature of being able to hold your phone with your android wear an stay unlocked, an than if someone takes your phone, it locks. It doesn't do that here. Anyone know why?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] Mr. Toad:
It does not look like it will lock the device. If the screen turns off and it is not connected I have to enter my pin in.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] camilosilvac:
So, if i put the phone whit kies i should get it? (Sorry my english level)
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] HwaA18:
I recommend that you shouldn't update. It causes a huge battery drain.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] darkjedi7:
Have you tried to go back to KK? On the ATT thread they claimed they are able to go back.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] MatroxD:
What battery drain?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] HwaA18:
That drain. I put kit Kat pics up for comparison. I lost about 20 percent after going out to Best Buy and getting dinner. On Kit Kat that would never have happened.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] Gareee:
On the note 3, they just reinstall kitkat over the top of lollipop to roll back the os. I'm hoping we see the same thing on the note 4. I want to keep the possibility of root open, just in case they find it doesn't work on lollipop.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] MatroxD:
That's on "your individual" handset. I haven't seen anyone report a broad "battery drain" issue that would prompt advice like there is one. Maybe yours just needs to settle down a bit. But not a "don't install because there is a battery drain issue" prompt..

If I am mistaken and there is an issue, and mine is an exception, I completely retract my stance for sure. But I have been reading all day, and yours is the first I have read about.

If it gets too annoying, reset it. That probably will sort it out.

I will say that I did observe something you may want to check. My location came on once after the update. It did it pretty fast and if your not looking at your handset, when it happens, you wouldn't know. That could and would drain it off course fast. It may have just been my unit though, because I was trying to press it hard(testing it) and make it glitch some sort of way.. But it hasn't happened since then and has been smooth..
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] HwaA18:
Ill try a reset. I'm backing up my files right now. But to be sure, Ill test it all out over the weekend. Also, what is the best way to do a factory reset? From recovery or from the settings menu?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] darkjedi7:
I took the update and I was able to revert back to KK using odin so looks like we would still be able to use a root method or at least those that are unhappy with the update can go back.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] Gareee:
Finally! I was starting to think no one would try it. Did you go back to lollipop after rolling back, and if not, why?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] freddy0872:
NO! I would not update via the OTA.

I tried as I stated and tried to down grade to N1 (FAILED)

Tried J5 (FAILED)

And Im stuck in download mode. Trying to find a way out. Any ideas throw them at me as Im open to them.

So my suggestion. DO NOT DO THE OTA!

Less you want to stay on 5.0

EDIT:

FEEL FREE TO UPDATE YOU CAN DOWNGRADE
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] darkjedi7:
I honestly only had it booted up for about half hour wanted to see if it would work. I'll probably go back tomorrow to try it more as my battery is pretty low right now.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] tu3218:
Right but its only basing it off whether the phone is connected to my watch or not. Its Nice, but I remember when google announced lollipop, they were on stage and demonstrated the feature of the phone being unlocked when you had it, an when someone else had it, it would be locked. I Dont know how it did it but I distinctly remember them showing that off. Guess its not true anymore. Do you Know?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] stillthisguy:
Molson says you can downgrade, Freddy says you can't................
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] MatroxD:
Yep, settings, backup and reset..
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] freddy0872:
Hey sir! Check your PM when you get a chance.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] nh97103:
Okay... Now we have two conficting reports. :/ Anyone else care to chime in here?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] freddy0872:
Reattempting.. Stay tuned LOL
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] hsbadr:
Since there're conflicting reports about downgradability, make sure you use .tar.md5 file (extracted from .zip/.7z) in Odin !
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] freddy0872:
Downgrade confirmed

Downgrade Confirmed! You can downgrade from Lollipop!

Yes [MENTION=3601084]molson8045[/MENTION] is correct

You can downgrade from Lollipop!

Going through setup wizard as I type this.

One thing everyone needs to be sure DOUBLE CHECK your downloaded TAR file. Regardless if ODIN checks its MD5 its still fowled up.

Hence the slightest difference will screw you up big time!

My opinion if you want a taste of lolli go for it! Im back on KitKat but im going back to Lollipop to test it out. Have at it my friends!

TO DOWNGRADE::::::

Download Full Firmware from here for NJ5

http://xdaforums.com/note-4-verizon/development/firmware-firmware-kernel-modem-recovery-t2942937

IM A HUGE FAN OF CHECKING YOUR ORIGINAL DOWNLOAD FOR ISSUES

Get a MD5 checker and verify your download to this MD5

9b0927b8e371ee0e9e779a3c5676602f

Flash in ODIN 3.09

You will most likely boot loop once ODIN flash is completed.

Pull battery and boot to recovery. (Volume Up + HOME + Power)

Wipe data

Reboot

PRESTO! Back on KitKat! running NJ5
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] stillthisguy:
That is great to hear, downloading lollipop now!
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] U01637:
I can confirm that you can downgrade to 4.4.4 with a total restore via odin...I did however have to manually delete data from the recovery menu cuz it began to bootloop but it booted up fine after that

---------- Post added at 12:15 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:14 AM ----------

We had the same idea but you beat me to it
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] freddy0872:
YES! Super pumped! Once root is released and hopefully we get a form of safestrap and some ROMs Ill be posting them all in my stickied thread here in General for a Easy guide on whats available. Just glad we can try out Lollipop without the fear of no root. :good:
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] usflightboy:
I was finally able to install Miss Lollipop this afternoon....I had to physically check in but it worked immediately. It installed pretty quickly... and when all said and done I thought I we going to have to Factory Reset cuz for some reason I was getting FC's on com.sec.imservice nonstop and my screen would blink and sit with just my wallpaper, etc.

The fix to this was to boot into safe mode, clear the cache on Contacts and also com.sec.imservice....I reboot and no issues other than severe LAG..... uggghh.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] peppersu812:
Same here man. I can have lag every min or second. It's really annoying to be honest. I've looked up solutions and I don't want to do no factory reset. It takes way to long. Wish they would hurry up and save us with root. Lol
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] usflightboy:
That was my issue too... the only real backup program I have utilized for app/data has been Helium... and that takes forever sometimes since it's uploading. I'm thinking tho that he's gonna come thru this weekend for us....and also have some cash money..... definitely anxious for ROOT tho.... haven't gone this long since I've owned an Android....and I'm starting to go a Lil krazy. Lol
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] peppersu812:
No kidding. I been Rooting for years. On oxygen group and watching all my buddies have all the fun. I've also noticed on lollipop Google play store is all crazy. Won't download any apps and says I have updates and I hit update and they get to 54% and just stops.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] dapimpinj:
lollipop is awesome!

I am loving this upgrade! I feel like my phone is so much snappier now and have noticed zero lag. I could see lag all the time before and now I don't see it at all. Received a 49159 on Antutu benchmark. The only thing that still struggles is the multitasking button.... It still takes like 2 seconds to load instead of being instant but that's ok.:)
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] nh97103:
Did anyone try going back to NI1? This comment from the "Let's Talk Root!" thread has me a little concerned.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] JOSHSKORN:
I have my OTA updates disabled. Can anyone confirm for me the ability to play USB audio in Lollipop using the iBolt xProDock, or a similar cord that plugs into the phone's USB port and splits to AUX and a charger? I heard this feature would be available in Lollipop. That's my only incentive to upgrade.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] muniz_ri:
The aboot qfuse counter is "1" on both NI1 and NJ5 and apparently also on 5.0 allowing downgrading to either of the previous firmware versions.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] PapaDocta:
Could someone please upload the update zips... I still didn't receive the update and it's not showing on kies
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] Gareee:
I had to send my phone in for warranty service, and they basically gutted it, replacing everything but the bezel. When I first tried to activate it again with verizon, I had to do a system restore attempt, and got a dm verification error nessage, but it activated fone, so I thought that issue was cured.

I tried the Ota last night, and I get the same verification error.

I Google it, and it looks like that comes up when also neon has a developer version, and flashes a bad rom...but I only have the stand retail edition.

I've odined in the past, so I downloaded the kit Kat note 4 release, but I'm taking it into to best buy today first to see if whatever application they have can clear this up and get me to lollipop. I don't want the warranty voided, and after being without my phone for a full month, I really don't want to send it back in again.

I had to do a full data wipe, so my phone is back to the way it was out of the box other than activation, but I'm still getting that dm verification error if I try to take the ota.

Has someone seen a link for the new lollipop files for Odin yet? If the rep at best buy can't get me updated, I might attempt that...it's the only thing I can think of to get things on the phone sorted properly.

This is why I miss root, and not being able to use recovery to flash whatever is I choose...I hate being at their mercy, and having to rely on them to fix things. I'd rather do it myself.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] crash613:
Ok, did the upgrade.. All seems fine until I tried to move files to the SD card. .

I used astro to attempt to move some files in the internal download folder to a SD card folder named download. . It says kitkat has removed this feature... Weird.. So I in uninstalled it and re installed it. . No pop up a out kit cat, but still doesn't work..

Am I wrong to assume I should be able to do this now? This was the biggest reason for me to upgrade
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] freddy0872:
Noooo. That "feature" stayed with lollipop sadly. Root is basically our only fix for the sd card write.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] sfld:
I did a factory reset twice, im still getting some apps force closing like instagram and sync for reddit. Anyone notice that? Could it be the app developers need to update something, or do i need to wipe again lol
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] Mr. Toad:
I factory reset once as soon as it was installed. I am force close of play services. Usually after a reboot.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] rm40f2:
Has anyone tried using the Smart Lock feature with a trusted location? It's not working for me.

Edit: of course right after I post I finally got it to work. I initially tried adding my Home location by itself, which didn't work. Then I turned off my Home location and added the location that Maps thinks I'm at (a slightly different address than my Home location). That didn't work. So I just now tried adding both my Home location and the slightly different address *at the same time*, which worked. I then removed the slightly different address and it still works. So I'm happy!
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] Rippley05:
Amazon app is also a non stop crash fest
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] ChadH42:
Amazon app works for me. My only FC's are when I try and open Sound and Notification in Settings.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] ChadH42:
I have copied dozens of files from the internal storage to my 128gb SD Card using Root Explorer. Writing to the SD works for apps that have been updated to use the LP write process.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] Gareee:
I took my phone into best buy, and the Samsung rep made a phone call, and then did a home restore on my phone. Lollipop update failed there probably because of the awful wifi (it failed after 30 minutes) so I'm attempting it here at home with good wifi now.. fingers crossed!
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] peppersu812:
For those that are having problems with lag or apps crashing this is what I did to fix it. You have to wipe cache. For me I had a problem with Google play store lagging and wouldn't work properly. Went in applications and wipe cache reboot and works fine. Still have a once in blue moon lag but soon as I find out what it is I'll share. All in all it's pretty smooth and can't wait till we have root.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] crash613:
Which route Explorer do you use? I went to the Play Store and there are several by that name. Thanks
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] Dennelly:
Well I'm downloading the second part of this update now in hopes that maybe I can downgrade back to KK when root becomes available for it.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] ChadH42:
Root Explorer paid version.

I upgraded both our note 4s to L 5.0.1. Did a factory reset after and both are running flawlessly. No memory leak or battery drain, as a matter of fact it seems to have better battery management.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] lilila:
Yes, please someone help us.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] bobloblaw1:
Yeash. I did a factory reset and I lost ~50% over night. The phone stayed awake all night while playing white noise. I'm pretty sure it would sleep while doing this on KK. Did something change with audio handling?

I don't remember losing anywhere close to that on KK.... time to troubleshoot.. =/

Edit: Yeah, looks like it's the White Noise App com.tmsoft.whitenoise.full, com.ipsec.service and "com.google.android.gsf" (Google services Framework) that are having some fun. I guess I'll give it a day or so to settle out while waiting for the LP odin package. Alternatively, if anyone can wlak me through it (I did it once before on a rooted device but cant figure out how to accessthe fota partition to capture the OTA while unrooted) I'll help and capture the second part of the OTA since I'm probably going to Odin anyway. Just send me a PM.

Edit 2: Yeah, phonewon't sleep while audio is playing with white white noise app. Pretty sure it did before.

On the plus side everything is much smoother and more responsive.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] Gareee:
The best buy home restore cleared up my issues, and I'm on lollipop sweetness now!

One issue I'm seeing, is settings advanced google voice search is grayed out. I can't select the option to turn on the phone using my voice any longer, and I can't retrain the voice search recognition.

Can anyone confirm these are working properly? I'm not sure at all what to do to fix the issue, and I use google voice all the time.

Other than that, everything seems to be running perfectly!
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] PapaDocta:
Looking for it too...
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] usflightboy:
Same issue. I just Uninstalled the update and reinstalled it and it was fine.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] Mr. bird:
I just updated my phone a few hours ago, then I wiped the cache partition right away and it all seems fine so far. No lagging or freezes like what happened to my S5. That phone had so many problems after I updated to lollipop I was scared to update this phone, it lagged so bad from just swiping screens to opening any app, it would drain the battery so fast and heat up real bad. I'll see how it goes for the next couple of days with this phone but so far so good.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] joe12401:
I have had the update 24hrs now. Noticed on boot it show unlocked icon now and lists phone status as custom, I assume they all do? Also phone gets hot and sucks battery, 25% per hour unplugged. Wiped cache. May have to try factory reset but I am out of state for a few days without my laptop if I run into any problems so I may wait. Phone seems quicker with most apps, but camera seems to lag. Anyone else similar?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] nlanter95:
Does anyone know if there is a way to get the volume buttons back in the power menu (menu after holding power button)? That's my only gripe with the update so far.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] Android_Fr3ak:
Still can't save to SD card. Can anyone else?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] Kc0r8y:

[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] downhillvinnie:
Nooooooo, this is the dumbest thing ever. Cant even figure out why they changed this
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] stueycaster:
Maybe this is a carry-over from Kitkat. Try this: Get "Foldermount" from the app store. on first run it might find the problem and offer to fix it. Allow the fix then reboot.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] downhillvinnie:
It says you have to be rooted
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] droidiac13:
I have had no issues at all from taking the update and not factory resetting the phone. It's weird how much different the devices can be.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] cjparker:
Late to the party. I was traveling yesterday. Left Savannah at about noon and got into JFK around 2:30 (after a half hour in holding pattern).

Connection wasn't going to leave until 4:30 and..... look! My phone wants to update!

I was going to swipe it away until later but I was talking to my wife and my finger lingered.... so it updated. heheheh.

N910V, Android 5.0.1, Kernel version 3.10.40

So, mine updated in JFK between flights. Haven't really noticed much difference as I've been busy and not really using the phone. Some stuff looks a little different. It does seem a bit more peppy, but I know that's a very subjective observation. I'm not one of those who was dying to get LP for performance reasons or anything like that. I just like new stuff. I don't have any negatives yet. The update set some stuff back to default which I kinda expected. Nothing major. Things like screen brightness.... goofy junk like that. I'll maybe get a better look at it tomorrow.
