Hi Everyone:

A couple of days ago, my phone started to complain that there was a software update available. Is this the new ROM (MMB29M.N910VVRU2CPG2)? If so, has anyone simply let the update do its thing? Does it work? If not, how do I turn off the warning?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Zacharee1:
Freeze the Software Update app with Titanium Backup or something else to disable it. This ROM does not support OTA updates, so that is the official update, which will break root.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] hallevison:
Thanks!
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Vlip3:
The link gives steps for a retail N4 apparently because there are instructions for unlocking bootloader and rooting (which I don't need for my DE). Can I just skip those steps and everything else will work okay?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Zacharee1:
If you upgrade from KitKat, your phone will essentially be a retail variant, since there aren't any images past KitKat for the DE.

I am running CM13 and really want to get back to stock rooted, this rom seems to be the best option. I have been sifting though this thread, but not sure if i need t do anything prior to installing this, and i assume this doesn't contain the most recent OTA update. Can anyone point me in the right direction?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] shadeau:
If you're on the latest CM13 then you should be fine installing this because it's based off of the latest MM bootloader and modem. This does not have the latest OTA, which means you'll need to disable updates when you install it. The only thing you'll need to do beforehand is to make a small backup to create a folder in TWRP with your ID on it that you can move the JasmineROM v7.0 ROM into to restore.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] cdrshm:
Oh yea, thats right this is a backup that we restore...thanks for that! I ran this before and it was the best, but for the life of me i couldn't figure out how to get to it from CM, :silly::silly:. This just seems to be the most solid from (for me). Any word on getting the newest OTA?

Thanks again!!
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Zacharee1:
There's not much point getting CPG2.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] xFLiP227x:
Been a huge fan of JasmineROM since I first received my Note 4 DE. Great work!
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] mjlewis0102:
Ho do you disable the update from this rom. I started getting the pop up a week ago and it's so annoying. I tried several thing with now luck. Please advise.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] droiddude414:
Titanium backup my friend.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] mjlewis0102:
Just got it. Thanks!!!

[MENTION=5868929]hsbadr[/MENTION]

Could you please upload the whole ota zip
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] homephysician:
You should be able to download it from the Samsung site.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] PapaDocta:
It only can be downloaded by over the air update or using kies and download over 2GB file... It's not available on their website
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Zacharee1:
SamMobile isn't Samsung.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] homephysician:
Can you not download from there? The guy was looking for a download link. I was just sharing that it can be found on one's own.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Zacharee1:
Yes, but you directed them to the Samsung website, not the SamMobile website.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] PapaDocta:
That's right, plus I don't want to download the whole firmware.. Only need the ota
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Vlip3:
Hello, thank you very much for this post but I need a little help. I'm stuck at Kingroot. I've tried almost a dozen times but it either fails, or succeeds and then reboots before I can connect to adb or it reboots after starting adb. Every time it reboots, I lose root. One time out of 10 I was able to connect the phone with root but when I executed adb devices, the serial number showed up with "unauthorized" and then it immediately rebooted. I think the unauthorized is because it had lost root or was about to reboot, I don't know. The bottom line is that I'm now stuck. Please help!
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] shadeau:
There is also a KingORoot apk that some people find more effective. I couldn't get Kingroot to stick, but using Kingoroot worked.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Vlip3:
Well Kingoroot seemed to work and adb devices showed my serial number with "access". I tried running the steps 7 to 14 but my screen went black and the phone was completely unresponsive so I pulled the battery but now I'm stuck in a boot loop. I need help on how to get out of this. BTW, I got a shell prompt when I typed adb shell but the prompt disappeared when I hit su. Please confirm whether this is normal - it didn't seem right to me.

Also, need clarification on the steps as follows:

step 8 reads: "Enter {adb push samsung_unlock{adb push samsung_unlock_n4-fix /data/local/tmp/} to move script to phone." I assume the correct instructions should be: "{adb push samsung_unlock_n4-fix /data/local/tmp/}". Please confirm.

Step 11 reads: {cd /data/local/temp/} but the path in step 8 is /data/local/tmp/. Is it "temp" or "tmp"?

I'm dead in the water until I resolve this so any and all help will be greatly appreciated!
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] fz798:
Pull your microSD card, you will need to reformat that, it's been mentioned many times. That should get you going
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Vlip3:
I tried reformatting the microSD card, still stuck in a bootloop. It reboots after right after the red Verizon screen. Starting to get a little nervous! :fingers-crossed:
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] shadeau:
Can you still boot to download mode or recovery?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Vlip3:
I can boot to download mode.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] shadeau:
I'm not sure how far along in the process you were when you started the Kingroot step (were you unlocking for the first time or the second time with the hybrid firmware?). If it was the second time I think you can just reflash the hybrid firmware through Odin and start this part over. Also, I don't think it's in the post you quoted, but after you flash the hybrid firmware you should do a factory reset. This will make it a lot easier to use Kingoroot.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Vlip3:
I quoted the step-by-step instructions in my first post. Kingroot comes immediately after flashing the LP Full Firmware (step 4). The hybrid firmware flash doesn't come until step 15 (after adb and sumsung_unlock_n4-fix). If I boot into recovery there is an option to do a wipe data/factory reset. Should I do that?

---------- Post added at 11:23 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:16 AM ----------

I thought it couldn't hurt so I did a factory reset from recovery but when I reboot, I'm still stuck in a bootloop.

---------- Post added at 11:39 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:23 AM ----------

I decided to reflash the full LP full firmware and the phone has booted into the ROM. I'm going to begin at step 4 again. I'll let you know if I run into problems again - going to use Kingoroot instead of Kingroot this time.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] shadeau:
I realize that, but you need to use kingroot twice. Once to unlock the LP bootloader and a second time to unlock the MM bootloader on the hybrid firmware. That's why I asked. Good luck!;)
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Zecht235:
Is there a safe solution to debloating and removing the Verizon push update prompts? The ones I have seen in the thread so far seem to indicate that it causes various issues due to changes in the /system folder.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] shadeau:
If you freeze the update app then the OTA notifications go away and it won't download the update
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Vlip3:
Thanks for the help but, it's not working. I did a factory reset and reflashed the LP full firmware. Everything went perfectly but when I install and run Kingoroot, it reaches 100% and says it was successful but it completely locks up my phone - not even the power button works! I tried it again and second time, I got a popup saying the system UI was not responding so I selected wait but after 30 minutes it was still unresponsive, again even to the power button. I had to pull the battery. Not sure what to do at this point.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] shadeau:
I always had root checker in my recents so I could switch over quickly. My understanding is that once you finish rooting you should switch apps or it will give you problems. Don't know if you've tried that yet. There are also some desktop tools that you could use (kingoroot and kingroot have desktop versions I think).
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Vlip3:
On one of the attempts, I ran rootchecker immediately but it said I did not have root but it locked up as well. I will look for desktop version of Kingoroot. This is what I was afraid of and why I had hesitated updating my ROM for more than a year. I've now been without my phone since yesterday afternoon and I'm nowhere near done. If desktop doesn't work, I'm going to have to go back to my previous ROM and restore from nandroid.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] shadeau:
Yeah, I feel ya. I had to start from the beginning and spent 4-5 hrs trying different things until I got it to stick. I think you'll still need to re-root your LP ROM and install TWRP before you can restore your backup:(.......unless you did it another way
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Vlip3:
Hmmm. That concerns me. After several years of flashing custom ROMs, this whole process is still a mystery to me. Shouldn't I be able to just flash a rooted ROM like the one I was running from MOROM?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] shadeau:
Typically you flash things through a custom recovery like TWRP. I think there are other tools that might be able to help, but you still need to unlock the bootloader before you flash anything. Someone who knows more can chime in if there are tools I don't know about.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Zecht235:
How does one freeze or remove OTA update pushes such that the OS stability is not tanked afterwards?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Vlip3:
Again, I don't understand all this well enough but I thought I already had an unlocked bootloader because I have a DE. Is this correct? Can I just flash TWRP and restore from nandroid? How do I flash TWRP? I tried flashing it using Odin but it failed. I may not have done it correctly.

BTW, I tried Kingoroot PC and it failed twice but said it succeeded on the third try but then my phone hung again!

---------- Post added at 04:00 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:44 PM ----------

Just tried reflashing the LP full firmware and used Kingoroot apk on my phone. It said it succeeded on the first try. I quickly ran rootchecker but it reported that I didn't have root. I tried running it again and my phone hung - had to pull the battery, now I'm in a bootloop again. I officially give up - I've been working on it since yesterday afternoon - I don't think this is going to work for me. I would very much appreciate very much if someone could tell me how to get back to where I can restore from my nandroid backup.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] shadeau:
Just freeze the update app (SDM or something. If you long press the update notification it should tell you) with Titanium Backup.

Since there are no DE ROMs past KitKat my understanding was that you lose DE status when you upgrade to LP. You need to flash TWRP after running the script as part of the instructions so I'm not sure you can avoid that step and still have TWRP.

As for going back to what you had before you'll have to roll back somehow. Here's the firmware link: http://xdaforums.com/note-4-verizon/development/firmware-firmware-kernel-modem-recovery-t2942937
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Vlip3:
I was on LP 5.0.1 with MOROM 4.3. You're saying that If I can't get root to take, I'm stuck?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Zacharee1:
Try KingoRoot PC. Otherwise, yes you're stuck.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] shadeau:
I'm saying you'd have to roll back to whatever bootloader you had when you were on MOROM 4.3. Since I don't know what that was, or how to roll you back, this isn't something I can walk you through. My best guess is that you'll have to Odin back to what you had before, but I don't know if you safely upgraded or flashed a version that locked you from going backwards.

I'm hoping someone else will chime in with more info. Sorry I can't help more.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Vlip3:
I found on a thread by Hsbadr that he advises doing a factory/wipe data reset from recovery right after flashing the LP full firmware and that seems to have helped because I was able to get root to stick with Kingoroot APK. I'm stuck at the next step. After opening an adb shell, the instructions say to type su but when I do that, the prompt goes away and never comes back. Anything I type after that is ignored. I tried running the chmod 777 step without su and that worked but chown doesn't. Also tried running the samsung_unlock_n4-fix without the chown step and I get "you must be root to use this".

I'm following the instructions to the letter but there seems to be an error somewhere. I think the key is to getting superuser. What is the correct instruction for that?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Zacharee1:
When you type su, a root access prompt should show up on the phone. Keep the screen on.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Vlip3:
When I looked back at the phone, the screen went black and then the phone was completely unresponsive. I'm going to try again and keep the screen on to see if I get the prompt. Thanks!
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] shadeau:
I fear that I'm asking an obvious question, but you've enabled adb debugging and selected always allow for your computer, right? Are you still switching to root checker and checking root before trying the shell?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] fateerror:
I managed to install everything from another thread from downgrading from 6.0 but I didn't want CM13. So I stayed on this rom. But when I looked through my apps, amazon stuff was still installed but I thought this rom removed it? I also can't find LMT launcher, even tho I can just download the apk
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] sfirouz:
I also installed it this morning. But it looks like it is only a rooted de-knoxed version. Xposed is not there, WiFi Tethering still checks for subscription, AppOps is not there, Torchlight is not there, TW Themes and TW ThemeChooser is not there, All of VZW, Amazon, ebay DT Ignite, IMDB, ... bloatware are still there. Software update is still in settings and by the way the first thing after initial setup, it downloaded the OTA (without asking first) and started nagging that I should install the update.

There might be more, but I have not tested it.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Vlip3:
Yes, I've enabled USB debugging and selected always allow. Out of almost 30 tries, only once did I get to the point where su was accepted. I remember that the phone was connected to my PC as a media device (I saw this on another thread). However, that was the only time I've been able to connect my phone as a media device. Every other time, it connects as an installer. When I look at the notification, it says to tap for other USB options. Media device is the first option but when I tap that, the checkbox is not checked and the phone hangs - doesn't respond to even the power button. I'm trying to download the LP full firmware zip file again to see if maybe there was something not 100% on the first one I downloaded but that is a really long shot because the flash and MD5 check passes with flying colors every time I run it.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Vlip3:
Okay, with a new download of the full firmware, I get much farther. I was able to get past executing the samsung_unlock_n4-fix script and flashed the LP MM hybrid ROM but now when I insert the SD card, the phone shuts down and goes into a bootloop. Step 15 says I should see developer on the download screen but I've never seen that, don't see that. I haven't seen that mentioned elsewhere. It says if I don't see developer, I should go back to step 3 and repeat rooting and adb bootloader unlock. Again, help would be greatly appreciated!
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] fz798:
You need to reformat the SD card now
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Vlip3:
The 16GB sd card I've been using can now only be formatted to 19MB! When I plugged it in to my PC to reformat, the files that were on it are no longer visible. Instead there was one folder called image with a bunch of files I don't recognize. Any ideas? How do I get the full 16GB back?

Never mind, I figured it out. It seams my phone partitioned the card.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Zacharee1:
You need to use something like Partition Wizard to completely erase the card. You'll see there are like 20 partitions on it that all need to be deleted.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Vlip3:
I googled it and found commands for "diskpart". This comes with windows, just have to open a command window.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Zacharee1:
Be really careful with diskpart. I've managed to erase an entire disk with the clean command, thinking it would only affect the selected partition.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Vlip3:
I've searched this thread, and someone asked the question but no one answered. The question was: how do I get the Note 5 s pen features on this ROM?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Zacharee1:
What's new with the Note 5? I thought MM brought over the new interface.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Vlip3:
Yes, you have to be very careful you select the correct disk. I'm only using it for the sd card.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Zacharee1:
I selected the right disk, but I thought it also respected the selected partition.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] fz798:
Yup, found this out the hard way the first time, lost a crapton of stuff on my card. The handful of times I wound up going through the process since then, I always made sure to use an old small card
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Vlip3:
I'm being asked to install a software update. I think this must be related to the security patches. I think I answered yest to receive those. Can I take it or should I decline and turn that off?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] shadeau:
Don't take it. Disable the update apps (long press on the notification) with TiBu or a debloater.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Vlip3:
Sorry but I'm not clear on your instructions. When I long-press the notification, I get an "i" to the right. When I tap on that, I go to system settings for application notifications. I have TiBu pro but haven't been able to figure out how to uninstall/disable "update apps". Could you please give more specific instructions?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] shadeau:
Long pressing should also list the app that is displaying the notification on the left. It will be an app marked in red text (system app). I think one of them is SDM and the other has update in the name or something. Look through the list of all apps in TiBu and read all of the red text. When one looks like it has to do with the update use the "freeze" feature so you can enable it again if it didn't work. Since I haven't had to do this in a while I don't remember the exact app names, but they probably start with com.android or something. If you provide a list of ones you're considering I can probably help you out.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Vlip3:
Great! Thanks! That worked. The app is called "System Updates".

I have one more question. It says in the OP that this ROM has Xposed support. Does this mean the framework is built into the ROM? Do I just need to install the APK or do I also have to flash the framework? If Hsbadr included the framework with the ROM, why didn't he include the app?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] shadeau:
Most of the description in the OP is for the original JasmineROM. v6 and v7 were put together quickly to make sure that there was at least a stock MM ROM available. Hence the system update notifications and missing features. Just install the apk and it will tell you if the framework exists. If it doesn't you'll need to flash the compatible xposed framework for xposed features. PaulPizz ROM has those features built-in if that's really what you're going for.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Vlip3:
Two more questions:

1.) OP says the ROM has 3Minit Battery support. How do I access this? I don't see the app.

2.) I just tried to use Mobile Hotspot and it said I had to subscribe!!! Does this ROM not have the hacked Mobile Hotspot? I have unlimited data and use this all the time.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] shadeau:
Answer to both: like I said above, this is just the stock image for the latest MM ROM on our phone. I'm sure there's an xposed module to fix the mobile hotspot thing. I've never used 3Minit Battery, but you'd have to follow those instructions to install it separately.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] fz798:
Search is your friend. The Moto tether Xposed module will fix your hotspot
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] KingAhmed:
I am running Dr Keten Rom On my 910V , Can i install this one on it ???

I am bit confused about the ROM Firmware :(
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] shadeau:
Isn't Dr. Ketan on LP? If you haven't upgraded your bootloader to MM (check baseband for "CPF3" at the end) then you can't flash v6 or v7 of this ROM
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] KingAhmed:
No i have M5 Dr Ketan (Marshmallow ) and Baseband Number ends with PA1
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Zacharee1:
That's a Lollipop base. You'll need to upgrade the bootloader and modem. Check Development and General for instructions.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] jazzdglass:
If I freeze super user app with titanium backup, will I lose root? I need to make phone unrooted for some minutes.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Zacharee1:
That's not how rooting works. There's an option in the SuperSU app that disables root temporarily.

Please don't randomly quote.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Telemachus:
I am running CDP1 and yet v7 and Paul pizza work fine. I just have to run Oscar kernal.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] shadeau:
Both that and CPF3 are on the same bootloader so they're both supposed to work for these newer ROMs. I think the modem had some improvements for CPF3, but thanks for clarifying.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Telemachus:
Now there is an OTA for N910VVRU2CPG2. I have no clue what it does to the bootloader, but here are the modem and kernel:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=69181215&postcount=2043
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] shadeau:
You mean 2CPG2? I haven't upgraded yet. I think it's just security patches so I wouldn't worry about it, but don't take the OTA.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Telemachus:
Yup, you knew what I meant, LOL.

Have flashed the new modem or kernel from it?

I was surprised that Jasmine let the OTA download... I swapped to PaulPizz for today to try it out. Nice that Xposed is installed by default... I forget, does Jasmine 7.0 have the flashlight in the toggles?
