[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] mannyvr6:
I have AT&t S4 I337 , I downloaded the stock firmware , Im able to unpack and pack the img , then flash Via ODin , So I downloaded the Stock Firmware for the I337M fido , I unpacked it then took the System.img.ext4 and placed it in my AT&t folder with the AT&t stock cache,sbl1 sbl2 etc , I packed and created a flashable Md5.tar but when flashing reaches the System.img.ext4 file I get a Fail (auth) !! and If Iput back the AT&T system.img.ext4 and pack it , Im able to flash?? . the reason why I want the Fido System.img.ext4 is because , Wifi hotspot is enabled , and sending emoji as regular sms not mms is enabled , I have searched various threads on how to compile Odin flashable firmware , every way I try it works only if I use the AT-T system.img.ext4 , which I dont want , I was also able to unpack the System.img.ext4 for both at&t and Fido and compare them , what I want to do is keep the AT&T kernal and use all Fido img , but my problem is once I have the Folder complete with all the files and folders I need, how do I compile that whole folder into a System.img.ext4 ??:confused::confused::confused: any help would be greatly apreciated!!:good:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] DeadlySin9:
It's not going to work as it only takes the signed AT&T packages. You'd have to pull out what you need manually. A better option is to flash a ROM with tethering enabled and use an SMS app that allows emojis.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] mannyvr6:
I already modded the AT&T sms app , moded a smali file to enable emoji through sms not mms , Cant find any guides on how to mod tethering.apk that work , so far I have tried 2 guides , I tried Golden Eye , Nice rom , but I still prefer stock rooted,

Hi I am new to XDA...have been searching around for a way to "unhide" the MMS APN settings on the Verizon HTC m8 windows edition...have found a bunch of places that the HideMMSAPN=00000000 is to blame for it but am unable to find any tutorials or anything on what to do to get it back...can anyone point me in the right direction or provide a "noob-proof" tutorial for a first time Windows Phone user? Thanks in advance!!!
[Galaxy Note 4 General] InteliDroid:
Hey guys, android lollipop (5.0.1) just got released for the Note 4, N910G variant. It is currently being released via OTA for India, Bangladesh etc. If you do not receive the OTA just flash the Indian region stock rom and set it up, then search for updates and you will be updated to lollipop. I HIGHLY recommend that you wipe data/factory reset after the update as it was very laggy after the update, until I wiped data/factory reset.

Happy Flashing :victory:!
[Galaxy Note 4 General] tryfound:
So you were able to get the OTA straight after flashing the latest KK Indian firmware from Sammobile? I flashed it in Odin about 6 hours ago and I keep checking for updates but there's nothing.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] InteliDroid:
Yeah, I just flashed the latest KK (Indian Region) and straight after setup I went to check for updates and viola it said there was an update and so I went ahead and did it and successfully got to lollipop. Just wondering now if I can flash the N910F lollipop custom roms.

Just try again and search for an update. If an update is found it is usually stuck at "Searching for Update" for about 15-30 seconds.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] bhasg1007:
Flash indian stock kk then do a factory reset and then boot set it up log in to samsung account and check for updates. I too flashed stock did not do a factory rest and straight away checked for updates recieved a msg you already have latest software updated something msg.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] tryfound:
Thanks, I tried about 30 times today but nothing came through. I decided to do a factory reset while on the Indian KK firmware and after the setup went to check for updates and it was there straight away :)
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Mussels84:
its out on sammobile (dont want to post a link, apparently SM breaches XDA's rules)

expect some progress with custom roms and such very soon :D
[Galaxy Note 4 General] zeon22:
Is this tru for a Singapore Version also. I mean are there are kernel issues?
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Mussels84:
the full odin flashable rom is out, dont mess around with the OTA versions.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] zeon22:
Gotcha, but it will work(boot up) on SG version right?
[Galaxy Note 4 General] raveenrox:
can i flash this on my sm-n910g australian version
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Mussels84:
if its a 910G it'll work. you may need to factory reset after install, more than one person has needed to do that even on the 910F

[Galaxy Note 4 General] jasenko:
I downloaded the full firmware but then got worried about CSC. I have unbranded, unlocked phone bought in Australia so don't want to install something more bloated. Can anyone who installed or someone from India explain if this firmware is for unbranded phones or from a specific carrier.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] bala_gamer:
unbranded it is, no carrier bloatwares
[Galaxy Note 4 General] hashcheck:
Bootloader is aboot and all file in photo the one uploaded is the kernel.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] smejr:
can anyone help me. How do i know the version of my note 4. I only know its sm-n910g running on kitkat 4.4.4

just recently reset to default factory of recovery menu. I tried doing update to lollipop OTA but it always say "its up to date". Please help. I wabt to update to lollipop
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Mussels84:
your carrier/country may not have the update. you will need to use ODIN to flash a complete stock update that you have manually downloaded.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] smejr:
How do i know which one is the correct fw? I've checked the sammobile and a lot of version there.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Mussels84:
XSA was the unbranded aussie one and seemed popular, look for the most recent one without a (telco) mentioned?

[Galaxy Note 4 General] junstar:
Guys quick question!

I am currently running the latest firmware for Australian (I am in Australia). I just want to know if the latest Singapore one is worth downloading?

I have had experiences with the indian firmwares which were fine, however I have been reading couple of replies that if I dont run my respective region model it would have problems? Such as keyboard not working in some of the threads I have read.

Your input would be much appreciated!
[Galaxy Note 4 General] lzk123:
Anybody manage to get root on 5.1.1 firmware?
[Galaxy Note 4 General] mpcjanssen:
Use the kernel from http://xdaforums.com/note-4/snapdragon-dev/n910f-android-stock-5-1-1-kernel-root-t3208778 any other kernel will lead to bootloops. Use the non enforcing v2 version if you don't want issues with wifi passwords.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] lzk123:
So based on what you said. If I'm on the latest 5.1.1 MM1 COL2 stock firmware, all I have to do is:

1) Flash that kernel (COJ3 permissive) via odin.

2) Flash twrp recovery.

3) Flash Supersu 2.66 via recovery.

And then I'm good to go right?

This means I'm actually using system root and not systemless root. Is that correct?

One last thing to confirm....I will trigger knox flag no matter which root method I use right? Whether is it on 5.0.1 or 5.1.1, and whether is it systemless root(CFAR) or normal root.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] mpcjanssen:
Yes, yes and probably. I am not sure cause my knox was tripped pretty much from day 1.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] lzk123:
Thanks for the prompt reply. New to all this knox and android 5.0+ issue.

Will flashing that kernel trip the knox flag? My phone is still pure stock unmodified, 5months warranty left.

Edit: Nvm. Probably will trip knox flag. I'll wait few months before I do any modification.

Does any body tried to root it ?

CF-Auto-Root-trlte-trltedt-smn910g.tar will work on it ?
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Mussels84:
i'm about to, gimme 5 minutes.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] ForceField:
Ok thanks , :)

I will be waiting for your reply :o
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Mussels84:
edited my post above (with all the links) to include the custom recovery i'm on, that rooted it for me more or less automatically.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] ForceField:
I am still downloading , This ROM is so huge

So after flashing the ROM , to root it we must only flash TWRP thru Odin without Rooting it first ?
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Mussels84:
my post above has now been edited with a faster link to the rom. feel free to thank it :)

flash the rom, boot into it and set it up however you wish. factory reset is highly recommended.

power off and ODIN flash the custom recovery in my post above, and when you reboot out of it for the first time it'll offer to root the rom for you - and it works fine. just install superSU from the play store after, and you're good to go.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] m4gg0t:
flashing this on my N910G singtel
[Galaxy Note 4 General] raveenrox:
just flashed it on my note 4 australian one

and it is working

although private mode is not working

it might be because i havent factory reset it

and xposed framework is still installed
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Mussels84:
highly, highly recommend a factory reset. lots of people had issues with S-health keeping the heart rate sensor on every boot, battery drains, performance loss etc.

i managed this before my battery went flat and i've started charging it:
[Galaxy Note 4 General] archdoink:
Does it work? I downloaded the rom already. Now just deliberating if it is safe to flash it to my singtel Note 4 also.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] rigo3t:
So, did it work? Is it running nicely? No heart attacks or a brick? :confused:
[Galaxy Note 4 General] m4gg0t:
i installed it and everything seems to be working well. no lags or anything. got 52k anutut score on my note 4. also don't have the heart rate sensor always on bug.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] rigo3t:
Awesome, I just jumped in! I made a dirty flash and right now it's loading. I guess the first boot up takes a little while, setting up all the files and what not. I'll report back soon. Mine's a N910G from M1 Singapore, however I live in Malaysia so I also didn't receive the update.

Quick update:

At the time I was typing this, the phone started doing the app optimization, so it's all good and working :victory:
[Galaxy Note 4 General] m4gg0t:
hopefully you don't face any issues, and everything goes well for you. just restarted my phone, going to do further testing.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] rigo3t:
All seems to be working perfectly!
[Galaxy Note 4 General] m4gg0t:
that's good the hear.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] anirudhks:
Will flash in my singtel one too and see :D:D
[Galaxy Note 4 General] InteliDroid:
Was this through OTA update or Odin Flash? Mine maxed out at 52k with OTA update. I was told OTA updates give issues so I might odin flash it right now to fix some minor issues I'm having like slight battery drain and disappearing emails.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Mussels84:
clean flash, didnt use OTA.

colder ambients/phone temp will always boost scores, its early on a cold morning here.

i'm already testing a de-odexed base and custom kernel for the 910G (sawdoctor posted a basic, recovery flashable zip for this rom)

edit: AEL kernel has no mobile data so its not recommended for daily use, but its good that an F kernel works so well already.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] InteliDroid:
Oh ok, thanks. It is quite cold here in Sydney as well. So I can actually see performance drops in hotter temps. But I will flash the odin way now even though i had already gone through the ota to lollipop. Hope to see a bit more of a performance boost even though it is fast enough :p
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Iceblastzz:
Are there any ways to just get the update without rooting your phone. Don't wanna void my warranty
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Mussels84:
you can use ODIN to flash the complete stock rom without rooting. it wont trip KNOX or anything, but it may be hard to explain why your phone is running an indian rom not released in australia if you need warranty.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] pswin09:
Emotion Kernel seem lost baseband. Which one work for 910G LL sir?
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Iceblastzz:
Shall start downloading now :)
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Mussels84:
use the stock one for now. it'll take a bit for custom kernels to get everything working.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] rajesh.rj:
worst update ever

too much battery drains and huge performance lag..

starred hating it already.

not worth waiting for this *****y update:(:(
[Galaxy Note 4 General] InteliDroid:
All is ok, other than battery drain for me. I get 53k on lollipop on my N910G.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] mfadhil:
i went to sleep with 100% battery at 6am, woke up at 11am and its down to 90%. Is this normal due to the fact that i just flashed it and it takes some time for the battery to stabilize or is this not normal at all? Was on WiFi and greenify-ed most apps.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Mussels84:
factory reset, before spouting your garbage. its well known that a lot of people had issues with apps, especially S-health upgrading from KK to LL.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] rajesh.rj:
Thank u for the quick reply I did a factory reset on my kk b4 i install lollipop from odin..

sud I factory reset it again? :confused:
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Mussels84:
if you're having battery life issues and no one else is, look into why. find what you did different.

this is android, there are a dozen tools to find out whats draining the battery.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] mfadhil:
mind sharing a good app to track what apps are causing the battery to drain? i tried using the stock battery monitor but couldnt find anything thats wrong.

cheers!
[Galaxy Note 4 General] rajesh.rj:
downloaded the firmware from sammobile >factory reset on 4.4.4>installed on odin>after which phone started heating up crazy (I can literally press a shirt with it maybe ):p nd I can say there is a performance issue on the basis of time taken to install each apk file (is a 30mb app used to take nothing more than 10secs now the same file is taking over 25 to 30 secs to install + keyboard lags which dint happen once since i bought this beast> battery going down 1 % every min or two :rolleyes:
[Galaxy Note 4 General] senectus:
Anyone else notice that the red light on the sensor on the back of the phone comes on now then you put your finger on it and the screen is on...?
[Galaxy Note 4 General] jasenko:
I believe you should be able to see wakelocks with any decent battery monitoring app. That was not possible with KitKat, and probably the biggest reason I want to upgrade from this super stable OS to Lollipop.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] zakt:
My battery was getting chewed up quickly and the phone was slow and unresponsive after the 5.0.1 update ,I done a factory reset thru the stock recovery and wiped the cache .

And it feels unbelievably smooth and the battery is life is better than what I had on kit kat and I'm still on the first full charge, hopefully should get beer I the next few days
[Galaxy Note 4 General] junstar:
Ok guys apologies for this n00b question, but couldn't really find the straight answer.

I have a Australian stock version of note 4 not rooted, can I flash this firmware on my phone? Am aware that it won't trigger knox. And also does anyone have any idea when the Australian one will be available?
[Galaxy Note 4 General] zakt:
Yes if you want lollipop just flash it . There's no carrier apps at all ,reception semis to be just as good as kk .

I don't think any body knows when it will be realised in australia
[Galaxy Note 4 General] senectus:
absolutely, its what i've done.

You'll need Odin 3.09 to flash it safe with no knox tripping or rooting.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] danw1million:
Flashed last night after backing up every thing, first factory reset and then flashed the BOC6 indian build via odin.

Stock indian rom is running very smooth on Australian SM-N910G no issues so far, this rom is a massive improvement on the stock kk.

Yet to test 4G"X" near a known fast tower but previously I had max of 125 Mbps.

Antutu is up by approx 1000 points.

-Dan
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Mussels84:
better battery stats or wakelock detector. those two will give very, very detailed information.

all we need is Xposed for touchwiz lollipop and we're in for good times.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] junstar:
Just flashed the Lollipop via Odin, Does anyone else notice a lag when trying to set system volume in Sounds and notifications?

Also so far the battery has been :S. I know it needs time to settle down, but are people having better battery compared to the XSA aussie KK?
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Koguchi9:
Yeah I'm getting the same lag in the sound menu. Just the top part where the bars are. Once scrolled down past that it's fine. Weird.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Mussels84:
confirmed here as well. gets a bit laggy while the sliders are on screen. first official bug of the firmware?
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Triocorp:
If I want to keep root, can I flash this through recovery?
[Galaxy Note 4 General] senectus:
been seeing a lot of reports that everyone gets much better and smoother behavior if you factory reset after the upgrade.

I haven't done that yet, as it would be a pain in the arse to setup again.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] tryfound:
I did a full wipe but I get that issue as well. Rest of the phone seems smoother though so it doesn't bother me.

[Galaxy Note 4 General] chuacw:
Reboot every day?

I believe I've read somewhere that Lollipop has a memory leak issue that's not resolved until 5.1, so, does anyone here (who has upgraded) have to reboot every day, or is facing increased memory usage, or getting laggy response from the phone?

Hi guys,

Just looked through this thread - thanks so much for the detailed steps as well as providing download mirrors.

I have a question - I have an Australian N910G, which is currently rooted. Do I need to un-root it with an Australian Rom with ODIN first, or can I just flash this 5.0.1 Indian Rom and it will unroot itself?

Thanks
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Mussels84:
like all ODIN flashes, you will lose root and custom recovery.
