Does this apply to the Stagefright update as well? LRX22C.N910VVRU2BOG5
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] hsbadr:
Yes, all updates after N910VVRU1BOAF block KK downgradability. However, you can safely upgrade to N910VVRU2BOG5 from here.

OF1...

So I just got my VZW Note 4... After somehow (while in my otterbox) broke my LCD in my Note 3, yet not my screen... :mad::mad::mad:

Model: SM-N910V

Droid: 5.0.1

BB: BOF1

Kernel: 3.10.40

Build: BOF1

This means I'm effed? I.E. Rolling back to KK and or Root altogether...

OR... Can I still follow these instructions...

[Firmware] [LP] [5.0.1] [RetEd/DevEd] Safe Upgrade to Lollipop [N910VVRU2BOG5]

Extract the N910VVRU2BOG5_StockRestore.tar.md5 file using 7-Zip

Extract Odin v3.09 & open it

Reboot to Download Mode (press and hold Home + Power + Volume Down)

Connect phone and wait until you get a blue sign in Odin

Add the N910VVRU2BOG5_StockRestore.tar.md5 file to AP / PDA

Make sure re-partition is NOT ticked

Click the start button, sit back & wait a few minutes

Reboot into recovery (press and hold Home + Power + Volume Up)

Wipe data (Factory Reset)

Reboot to system

Special Instructions:

For Retail Edition coming from KK, flash N910VVRU1BOAF_Bootloaders.tar.md5 via Odin

<<<>>>

For Developer Edition, flash TWRP recovery, SuperSU & MultiSystem/Patched Kernel

DO NOT FLASH RETAIL BOORLOADER, IT WILL LOCK YOUR DEVICE !

UNCHECK "REACTIVATION LOCK" IN SETTINGS/SECURITY !

Sorry, the VZW SGN4 has been altogether tough to follow with so much Dev in progress and so many different threads...

n00b question:

Currently on VZW 5.0.1 OF1. If i downgrade to 4.4.4 and root and then Odin a OAF build will I keep root?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] XDAFTW:
I'm in the same boat. I just bought myself an n910v very recently, and did not study enough. I saw that there was root "or now seeing only of sorts" and roms. And I'm very used to my Galaxy devices being oh so hackable.

Well now I know.....That darn Verizon Bootloader issue persists in our Note 4 as well. However I thought I was fine, saw about the OF1 and just figured I won't take the update.....Then realized I should check and sadly it was already on it :(

Not even including that the seller only listed one tiny issue and there was actually many larger issues......Other story.....

Anyway....I really want someone to say yes to your question, but I'm 99% sure the answer is no based on all the info around.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] hsbadr:
Unfortunately, OF1 bootloader is incremented & you can't downgrade to KK.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] Beanerman:
I can't believe these smart folks on xda can't figure out root for retail version. I more would think they don't want to mess with it. I have been on here many years and have not seen the geniuses figure something out. I hope they can.

Either way the devs do awesome work.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] hsomnus:
Considering this information, can I downgrade to 4.4 and root? Thanks in advance.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] XDAFTW:
Yes you can. It's once you take the OF1, or now G5 as well, updates that you no longer can downgrade.

Unless you take the safe update provided by one of the dEVS here.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] Beanerman:
Yep, I did without any problems
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] scottsdca:

So I got a note 4 that already has bog5 on it. So is there root method for this or can I roll back to bof1?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] BladeRunner:
Assuming you are a Verizon Retail Note 4 there is no root method, nor can you roll back BOG5
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] Annihil:
Actually, on my note 4 with N910FXXU1COH4 rooted, I can't download OTA update's, samsung blocks me because i'm rooted / knox bit 0x1, but I really want to be able to apply those OTA update because I'm still vulnerable to stagefright exploit (1 of 6). So first of all, how do you guys download OTA when rooted ?? (I'm rooted with TWRP, so I can re-root my note 4 as much as I want)
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] Ethan9987:
Which Note 4 can be rooted ?

I have the Note 3 currently .... I lost root when trying to flash a rom . I want to find a device that I can root . I love the Samsung note editions.... What Note 4's can be rooted currently ? 4.4.2? 4.4.4 ?

Thank you!
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] Beanerman:
So Samsung really screwed all the unfortunate buyers of the retail version, which I have I think. I did manage to stay on 4.4.4 so far though. Hoping something happens for us soon.

Samsung should just let us have our fun
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] casey225:
I recently got my phone which has BOF1 (how I wish it would have been BOAF). Just curious if I should update to 5.1.1 in anticipation that if root method comes, that will be the most likely version. If I stay on 5.0.1 and by the time root method comes, Verizon has more updates after it (5.2.1 for example), would I then be forced to update to a potentially unrootable version? I d*mn sure don't want to miss the boat, if it ever arrives!!!
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] rocko73:
Is that true for just this version or future versions?

Since there is no safe upgrade to 5.1.1, is safe to assume it's ok to take the 5.1.1 OTA?

[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] anrichardson:
What do you mean about root? Would we have to be on KK bootloader or does it matter?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] Loading...:
After anticipating a permanent root solution since the note 4 launch, I think it is now safe to say that it will never come. Especially now since the next gen models of Samsung's galaxy S phones will be released, the note 6 will also be around the corner. From all this stuff I am hearing about never being able to root on verizon's network, I am rather upset that Samsung would allow verizon to influence their device software. Sigh, politics, I guess I shouldn't be so surprised.

In terms of resale value, do you guys think that there is any benefit to staying on 5.0.1 BOAF version of verizon's note 4 (retail)? Android 6.0 is expected to hit the verizon's note 4 in march-april (not sure if this is confirmed yet but it is probably true) and that is something that I would really like to have.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] thetrangdam:
I messed up with my Note 4 & ended up flashing a full firmware of BPA1 via Odin.

Does this mean I can no longer go back to KK & forever at LP?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] Dean1650:
I took the BPA1 upgrade and then used the permanent root guide to permanently root my Note 4 Verizon. Have unlocked bootloader, TWRP loaded and working and have flashed Jasmine ROM. Smooth as silk and happy as a clam.

[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] Cheapo2311:
My phone (D030UX) is on Android 5.1. I received an OTA for "bug fixes" and such, and then my root stopped. Before I received the OTA, it said my system was damaged, so I flashed the stock room to fix it. After the OTA, my root stopped working (and it took up another 200MB of my internal storage). Should I flash my stock version again and find something to block device OTAs?

I was wondering if someone would be kind enough to copy the Ringtones/Soundfiles from any WM6 rom please.

Thanks.

I think the biggest problem with the n00bs trying to find things in the Forum 'Search' is ridiculously hard. IMHO, we need to figure out how to replace the Search (in the menu bar) to the Search XDA using Google...

http://www.google.com/advanced_search?q=+site:http://xdaforums.com&hl=en&lr=&as_qdr=all

That would allow the n00bs to fish for themselves.

Maybe that's because 95% of noobs on forums are simply on to get free and "cool" stuff for their phones and don't put in a lick of effort to get it. A person who asks for ringtones and says "i did search" when someone else found it is obviously lying or they would have found it don't ya think???

Is there any custom recovery available?
[ONE Themes and Apps] Calkulin:
Since this issue seems to affecting a lot of people, I decided to post what I use to fix the issue. Basically what this mod does is remove the command that acquires the wakelock, so it never exist.

Note: If the app updates itself, the wakelock will be back(unless Google fixes it), so I will try to keep this up to date with the latest version until it's not needed anymore.

To install, flash the zip in recovery

Modded Google Play Services

xx0 versions are for all DPIs, so it covers xx2, xx4, xx6 & xx8 in 1 file

KitKat v7.3.29(030) - All DPI - armeabi-v7a - Older Android versions that don't have the system/priv-app folder, you can rename the priv-app folder in the zip to app

md5 - 8bfac34b48a5cd05773ac85c714927c2

Lollipop v7.3.29(430) - All DPI - armeabi-v7a

md5 - ddf795c287546d3545fab2a3140654ea

Lollipop v7.3.29(438) - 480 DPI - armeabi-v7a

md5 - 8627599d7dd12e5b850fc3b41f41f54a

Lollipop v7.3.29(440) - All DPI - arm64-v8a - Being worked on

Modded Framework

This fixes the root cause of the issue, so the service will operate properly now. The modded Google Play Services versions are not needed with this

Be sure to enable the SystemUpdateService for Google Play Services & Google Services Framework if you use DisableService or similar app

YNG1TAS0YL

Instructions for Modifying Framework

Decompile framework-res.apk and modify values/array.xml

Before - If you don't see this code, then your ROM is not the cause of this wakelock

[ONE Themes and Apps] CarlosMBM:
Instant results?

Hey man.

For starters thanks a lot for your help! I was wondering if the results are instant or does it take a while to check the difference? Because after I flashed the .zip and booted the phone I went to check the battery status and the Google Services were still taking 66% of the my battery life. Is that normal?

Thanks in advance!
[ONE Themes and Apps] jase33:
that doesn't mean that it is still "taking" 66%. It is saying that the service has used that percentage of the total used amount so far. the change will be "instant" but the usage counts will still show that until they reset.
[ONE Themes and Apps] nuwan32:

Any reason why the directory and file is names GMSCore instead of PrebuiltGMSCore? I guess PrebuiltGMSCore would be backed up through common gapps backup scripts in case of rom dirty flashes which would make this more comfortable.
