All I can do is go into download mode

What do I need to do to flash this with Odin3.10 ? And does anyone know what this means? If my phone tries to boot normal, i get a message at the top left of the screen that says "Kernel is not seandroid enforcing" , "Set warranty bit: kernel" then my phone tries to reboot into recovery (twrp) and it goes into a bootloop showing the teamwin logo over and over. All I can do is go into download mode.:mad:
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] DreamingWolf:
1: It's not a file you can flash in Odin. It's a nandroid backup folder from TWRP. You need to be able to unzip the folder, move it to your TWRP backup folder, then reboot into recovery and restore it.

2: The message merely means the kernel the phone is trying to boot isn't stock and doesn't enforce secure android policies. You will see this with most custom kernels. It doesn't change how your phone runs in any way you're likely to notice unless you need to run serious corporate software on your phone.

3: The ROM isn't working with the firmware so your phone tries to reboot into recovery, but there is a problem with the recovery partition so your getting a bootloop. Try flashing TWRP again through Odin and see if you can then get into recovery. If you can than you can use the folder in the zip file to restore a working OE1 system to your phone.

From what I researched u need the bob 7 stock kernel.tar then u can flash Bob 7 roma over the 0el bootloader but u can't use a customer kernel u can't flash back to bob7 but u can use the ROMs over the oel bootloader

---------- Post added at 05:08 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:06 PM ----------

But I will not try it. Do not blame me if your phone won't boot
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] richardjrdeal:
I've tried to odin the twrp tar over again and it still does the same thing. I even double checked to make sure I still had the most recent and correct version, and I do. So I'm screwed basically unless I can into recovery, which is what I figured.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] Droid2drummer:
If you are oe1... you need to flash oe1 backup. That is all. Or cm or aosp.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] pbedard:
Yea i debloated and removed knox
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] richardjrdeal:
But I can only Odin at this point...until I can find stock oe1 tar, I think I'm stuck.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] Droid2drummer:
I was about to do the same. Might add the s6 theme launcher etc. I did this on the bob7 but the dpi after correcting on the note 4 seems to fc or f up a few apk. I really dont want to go through and fix each one. Lmao.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] DreamingWolf:
Unfortunately I won't be home at my computer till tomorrow evening. If nothing happens before then I have software to make a tar from a zip. I'll see about making you a tar of CM 12 that you can Odin.

---------- Post added at 01:33 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:31 PM ----------

I know it's too small for most people, but have yet to have an app fc on me at 480dpi. But I also run Nova Launcher and use 3rd party apps for pretty much everything.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] tcas55:
Yeah, I figured it out about midnight last night. I also installed the S6 weather and music widgets. Goid to go. Thanks much.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] Droid2drummer:
You on oe1 right?
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] pbedard:
Yea but theres another ota coming so wait
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] DreamingWolf:
Correct

---------- Post added at 04:20 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:17 AM ----------

But without a tar to odin back to base OE1 how can we take the new OTA? Hopefully Sammobile will be quicker in posting it.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] pbedard:
Flash the stock recovery out of the ota Zip
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] DreamingWolf:
Couldn't find the ota.zip when my phone downloaded it so I didn't save it before applying. Would it still be on my phone somewhere, or would you have one you'd be willing to share?
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] ScottieRotten:
If the ota is still on your phone it should be located in /cache/
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] skrew37:
I really messed up.

I've looked everywhere and I can't find anything that works. I got the new OTA update (N910PVPU2BOE1) and was able to root. I tried to install CM12, but accidentally wiped EVERYTHING, system included. I was able to flash TWRP via odin, but now I'm stuck. It says I have no OS, I'm unable to drag any files to the SD card or Phone storage and my device is recognized as "trltespr". None of the MD5 files will flash. I've tried BOB7 and even ANK2 to no avail. On the internal storage half of my phone, I have a TWRP folder, but it won't let me copy the nandroid file that everyone is having luck with...I'm getting pop-ups that say "The device has either stopped responding or has been disconnected" or "Its file size is larger than the device limit", even though there's plenty of space... I'm completely screwed aren't I? I really need help, please be nice. I don't mean to waste your time, I'm just desperate!!!
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] DreamingWolf:
When I took the update I paused after downloading and searched /cache/ with both ESFile Manager and adb shell. It was empty. It is still empty.

---------- Post added at 04:02 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:59 PM ----------

Do you have an extsdcard? If so I would create a TWRP folder on it and then set it as the default location in the recovery itself. Copy the nandroid file there and it should work.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] DrKaotica:
I'm on stock rooted bob7, stock recovery.

How do I get to oe1 stock rooted?
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] Droid2drummer:
Odin bob7 .tar check updates.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] jhill110:
I'd be patient particularly because N910PVPU2COE3 is in testing. Looks like it may not be long before the next release.

Imo there is no compelling reason to update to a bootloader that won't let me go back to an OB7 based rom if I want. I'm currently running [MENTION=1503720]tx_dbs_tx[/MENTION] 's Hybrid -X 2.2 (OB7 Based) and it's great. I'm stunned by the performance increase of this rom.

So unless you feel ya just gotta have it might be better to just wait and see what happens. My 3/4's of a cent. :cool:
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] skrew37:
I'm not 100% sure how to do this. I copied and pasted it in the recovery folder, but nothing happened...
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] jhill110:
Ok, boot into recovery. Tap backup. Under the main window set storage to external xd card. That will create folders: twrp/backups/8gxxxx the numbered folder is the id # of your phone. Thats where twrp will store the backups it creates. Place the file in that folder. Boot back into recovery tap restore and you should see the file.

I would most definitely use TWRP to factory reset 3 times (in wipe) , then go to advanced wipe and wipe dalvik cache, cache and system 3 times... Then do the restore. Follow this and you'll be good to go. At that point you'll need to re-setup your phone.

Hope this helps.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] skrew37:
Good news and bad news... I followed your instructions, putting the nandroid file in the numbered folder in the twrp folder. I wiped everything 3 times, and did the restore. Everything was successful... until reboot. It's stuck in a boot loop at the "Samsung Galaxy Note 4" screen now... I'm still able to boot into recovery and download modes though....Also, there were only 3 partitions checked when I did the backup: boot, system, and data. Are those the only 3, or do they all need to be checked?
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] jhill110:
Check your messages I sent you a pm.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] DrKaotica:
Is there a way to simply unroot so I can OTA and not lose my data? Then re-root obviously
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] Droid2drummer:
No..it will not allow the dl on root.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] poit:
You could wait until the update is available in Kies. (It's odd it's not available yet). You can update a rooted phone in Kies and keep your data.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] spleef:
I'm not sure as I haven't tried it myself but I'll just throw this out there...super su has a full unroot option in settings..anyone every try that option?

Will any of these be able to be flashed with Odin? Still waiting on a oe1 tar.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] pbedard:
Nope cant downgrade any future upgrades will no work hey i got hybrid x over the oel update

Few threads back....I TOOK UPDATE AND WAS ON OE1. screwed up. can't get in recovery. can only go into Odin Mode. I Need the OE1 tar to at least restore my phone to a WORKING BRICK.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] skrew37:
I lost my camera!

I'm back on OE1 and rooted... I can't find my camera and I can't install a stock apk. Where did the camera go? Anyone else with this problem?

Edit: I'm missing my stock music app as well!!!
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] pbedard:

Little confused here. I see some people call the update oel and some call it oe1... Which is the correct version?
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] Droid2drummer:
1. Not I
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] llawen:
I read through these post and not really seeing added benifits of the ota. Just wondering what ota is about. I do see many issues folks are having. Can anyone post the added benifits of oe1?
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] Droid2drummer:
Security. Lol. That's about it. It's running fine. But if you like to run the bob7 and kk roms etc stay away for now.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] DarkManX4lf:
Well aside from factory reset security, it does add "bug fixes".... I hope it fixed gps signal drops.

Also hopeful it added a way to block over head notifications...

For me it rebuilds it's caches much faster after wiping cache & Dalvik.

What about the hidden img ??
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] JustSomeTexan:
Sam Mobile Latency

I really have no basis of reference having just recently joined the Android community. Like many, I took the update OTA then tried to root it. This instantly broke TWRP which failed to re-install properly, even through Odin. I ended up with an older version of CWM and Cyanogenmod 12 (which would be "OK" if GPS worked). Does it usually take a long time for Samsung to update Kies with the latest image?
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] DreamingWolf:
OK, no clue which step actually did it, but I'm back on OB7. Spent several days flashing OB7 firmwares in Odin (failed every time), restoring TW ROMs in TWRP, having them not boot, then flashing AOSP ROMs to run while at work (for which I need my phone). After reading that the latest TW custom kernels support OE1 I flashed Hybrid-X 2.2, emotion r16, and SuperSU beta-2.49. 15 minutes later I had a running TW ROM.

But then I checked in settings and my Software Version and Baseband both read OB7.

Only thing I can think of is that one of my TWRP backups includes EFS, boot, modem…. everything, and when I restored that one it reverted the firmware enough that later fresh flashings would finish the job.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] Droid2drummer:
Awesome. This is great.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] tcas55:
Same thing here. Im on the Noterized BOB7 rom. Im pretty sure its the modified kernel that lets it boot up with the OE1 firmware.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] DreamingWolf:
Doesn't Baseband = firmware?

Anyway still can't Odin OB7 firmware or stock ROM. What are the differences among bootloader - ABOOT - baseband - firmware?
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] tcas55:
Baseband is the modem I believe. I actually had the OE1 baseband with the OB7 software version. Its all voodoo to me. Im just glad to have a bootable stock rom.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] DreamingWolf:
Thank you very much. Now let's see if I can apply that knowledge to my situation.

My modem/radio firmware is OB7 thus my baseband reads OB7.

BUT my bootloader (ABOOT) is version OE1 and has a security measure that will not allow older versions to be flashed in Odin.

The bootloader is not locked, however, which allows custom recoveries which can restore earlier modems without going through the bootloader version check. This would at least explain my situation.

Does that make sense?
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] adrianr514:
Im going to experiment when i get home so I can return this S6
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] Droid2drummer:
Lol. Dont feel bad. I had to explain this in great detail several times over the years. Should be a sticky in each forum. For those beginning the interest in Android etc...Kernel is whats interesting.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] jhill110:
Hear that. Lots of people just don't know the fundamentals and it gets them in trouble.

I lurked around here for about six months before I registered and started asking questions. I learned a lot just reading. People just don't want to read. I'm sure you've seen questions asked when the answer is just a few posts back. I try to be patient and helpful as I am able like many members were and still are with me. The cliché "pay it forward" definitely applies here.

Is any way to unbrick N910P N910PVPU2BOE1 after flashing custom rom N910PVPU1BOB7 ?

please upload a backup of installed N910PVPU2BOE1

My device is bricked :(

Thx!
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] DreamingWolf:
Can you still get your phone into download mode? If you can it isn't bricked. Bricked = not fixable, must be replaced.

Did you flash in TWRP or Odin? In other words can you still get into TWRP?

(If you can't get into TWRP then you need to use Odin to reroot, then use Odin to install TWRP again.)

Once in TWRP do you have a backup that includes the modem?

If no, then you need to flash an AOSP ROM or the Noterized TW ROM.

If yes, then restore the modem two or three times then try flashing (only in TWRP, NOT through Odin) an OB7 ROM.

[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] DreamingWolf:
ANY TW ROM possible after OE1 update.

Background - I took the OE1 update and faced the same issues with flashing that have been so widely discussed. In my attempts to revert I tried Odin, which failed every time, and restoring my most recent TWRP backups, which failed to boot. I was able to flash AOSP ROMs and assumed I'd be restricted to their use until a fix was found.

About the same time that the Noterized ROM and the latest emotion kernels were found to work, I was playing around with my older TWRP backups, one of which included every possible option including boot, modem, EFS, etc.

The first time I restored the entire back up and it wouldn't boot. Then I tried just restoring the modem and EFS, then flashing the Hybrid-X ROM and the latest emotion kernel figuring at least I'd have a working system. Strange thing was my baseband showed up as OB7 in settings.

I got excited and immediately made a backup in TWRP and tried to Odin the base OB7 ROM. It failed. So still using Odin I rerooted and installed TWRP again. Then restored my backup. Baseband still showed OB7.

So I decided to experiment and wiped my phone thoroughly (factory reset X3, format data X3, advanced everything but extsdcard X3, then flash Uberwipe.zip) and when TWRP had restarted I flashed the Echoerom TW ROM from mid march. No current kernels, no mods of any kind, just the base ROM. I walked away to finish a chore and 20 minutes later I returned to find, to my immense pleasure, that the setup screen was waiting for me.

So I can verify, at least for my phone, that if you have taken the OE1 update, but have a full OB7 backup (you backed up every option there is) in TWRP, it IS possible to restore the modem/radio firmware and flash any OB7 TW ROM you wish through TWRP!!!

Odin will still fail if you try to do more than root or install TWRP, but access to all OB7 ROMs is possible after the OE1 update has been taken.

Moral of the story for me - ALWAYS have at least one backup that contains everything in TWRP.

[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] DreamingWolf:
There is an Odin flashable file to get TWRP recovery. Once you have that I know the Noterized ROM works with no further adjustments needed.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] tcas55:
Use Flashify from the Play store to install TWRP image. Or you can use an Odin flashable image.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] skrew37:

Use a file explorer with root access( I use Root Explorer). Put the VVM apk in system/priv-app. Put the Sprint Voicemail in system/app and reboot. That should work.

N910PVPU2BOE1 Needed!

If my theory is Correct. Someone should backup their rom and factory reset their SM-N910P N910PVPU2BOE1 . Then after the phone is factory reset then Backup the stock/factory reset N910PVPU2BOE1 in TWRP. Upload the Recovery Folder. After its been upload by someone you may download it then place in an external sd/usb then Recover your phone with the stock/facotry reset recovery in the Recovery option in TWRP. :D So far no one has uploaded their recovery file made in twrp for the SM-N910P N910PVPU2BOE1. (Be sure to backup every single option in the backup menu.) Please Someone Upload your TWRP Recover folder based on N910PVPU2BOE1 lots of people are in need of their recovery! At least I do I accidentally wiped my phone including my recoveries...... :p
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] xxSTARBUCKSxx:
right now its a lost cause. there are a few who have had success with TWRP, and flashing the Noterized rom to get back on their feet, and others who flash the BOB7 Modem(not the entire firmware) and used Philz recovery to transfer and flash Alliance. As of the moment though, no one can provide a Step by Step process in this matter.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] BlackSheepA1:
You're right I'm such a dummy for not realizing this. The Noterized rom great rom by the way. I wish I had the brains and skills to help :( xxSTARBUCKSxx thank you for making me realize why it can't be done at the moment. You've given me knowledge at least to understand why at the moment no one can provide a guide to the issue most of us are having. Thank you!
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] xxSTARBUCKSxx:
Youre welcome. And youre not a dummy!!!!!! I, myself(who has been one of the fortunate ones not to have taken the OE1 update) cant help those with the OE1 issue as well. But i assure you, once a solid process is explained, youll be one of the first to know. There have been a lot of rdf updates concerning the 5.1.1 update for the N910P! So hopefully once Samsung gets their ass in order, the 5.1.1 update will solve a lot of the OE1 issues.

[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] samep:
What is your build version? If OB7, OK to root. I wouldn't root OE1 or OF5 because there's no tars to fully un-root to stock recovery to take next OTA. You're basically waiting on a tar if you root without a tar release or custom recovery.

If you're on OE1 bone-stock, can you get to a PC with adb installed?

SHIFT+ right-click/open command prompt window here (create an empty folder labeled OE1 recovery in your Note 4 directory)

adb root

adb remount

adb pull /dev/block/mmcblk0p18

Anyone able to access adb in recovery in bone-stock OE1 or OF5 should try this before root but avoid the OB7 custom ROMs. Just root it and customize. But don't root until you have stock recovery pulled or a copy can adb push.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] Brandi223:
Mine is oe1 but i saw somewhere that someone was able to do it with kingroot or something.
