*waits for Mikey to try it and see if he likes it*

No offense if your name is Michael. Edit: no offence to anyone is intended.

It worked once. But seriously this is bricking. Do you wait and hope for a tar or brick and pray KIES will fix it. Can't blame anyone for waiting for the next brave soul to test the waters. Or wait the darn tar already. May not be one for small fixes.

Yup. Went there just to read up on that Knox hack i forgot to a while back and learned a lot more than I intended, and gratefully so.

Had a lot of bricks on the S3 from people going back to JB bootloader from KK. Like i said in another post, its a blessing in disguise

that Odin gave an auth error as opposed to a bucketload of sprint users having 800 paperweights.

Youd be surprised whatcha can learn from just innocently reading threads here on XDA, preventing a lot of unnecessary posts...

I wish a LOT more of the community would read and search for just the fun of it while still being able to learn valuable information at the same time. But ... yeah...

Which one do i download for a gsm note n910p?? The one named cdma or unknown?

[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] samep:
He's OE1 Sprint? Don't Odin a tar; that will bootloop the phone, cdma or gsm doesn't matter.

Is it rooted? If not, there's also another OTA update: 0F5. Don't root yet.

I'm wondering if since it just updated, maybe just needs the profile and PRL updated? Maybe also you can navigate to Settings/More networks/Mobile networks and find 2 menus there that aren't grayed out: /Network mode and /Access Point Names. Try setting the first as Auto or GSM/UMTS and the other as Global Roaming. (Unless you find better options there you recognize).

Did any of the repair facilities do or recommend these steps:

##72786# (in dialer) reset

Re-do the activation and perform PRL update and Update Profile in Settings/System update, check for OTA update?

Good that you read and asked first.

Anymore questions? Just ask again.

The unknowns in Sammobile, I wouldn't recommend; it's been discussed in Sammobile, unknown does not imply GSM. Look for the ones mentioned as belonging to Sprint.

Hey guys did any of you upgrade to BOF5 update. What was significant about it? How do I upgrade to it still on OE1 and rooted? What rom are guys using with BOF5?
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DreamingWolf:
I upgraded and didn't see any real changes for the time I stayed stock (which wasn't very long). For me it was about prepping to take the 5.1.1 OTA when it gets released.

I was rootd running Notrized 2 and I upgraded by going into TWRP and:

Under Wipe

>>Factory reset X3

>>Format Data X3

>>Advanced wipe (every option EXCEPT extsdcard) X3

Under Install

>>Flash Uberwipe.zip

Then when TWRP had rebooted I rebooted from there straight into Download and used Odin to flash the OF5 tar from Sammobile. Phone rebooted and I was pure stock again but on the new firmware.

Once I had used Odin to root with CF and install TWRP, I restored my latest backup (but NOT including the Recovery, EFS, and Modem options) and my Noterized setup booted right up.

This happened to me. Sprint tech did the ##72786# thing because we were having major network issues at home. Phone was fine until I rebooted it, now its stuck in a bootloop. I was on OE1 and running Notorized 2. Soooo......am I completely screwed or is there a way to fix me?

You tried to Odin OF5 stock tar in your Q&A thread. Did KIES do anything for you?

Yes, I tried to odin the OF5 stock tar. Stuck in bootloop. KIES didn't do anything for me. Wont recognize the phone.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] samep:
Seems I may have forgot to ask if you have a nandroid backup for OE1 or Noterized. If you've got one with all the boxes checked, it may work.

Another suggestion that's been offered is to Odin Philz Recovery and flash a ROM in recovery.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fcramtek:
I didn't make my own, but someone else posted theirs (I'd have to dig around to find the link again), i tried following the direction but couldn't get the nandroid to show up in TWRP. Let me try Philz and see if that works.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] samep:
TWRP backup requires a structured directory. There's also the button on restore that pops-up an option window to look for backup in sdcard or ext_sdcard.

[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] samep:
Another user here and myself have had this happen with OTA but Odin OG5 should work if you use Odin 3.10.6 and go into options and disable OEM lock. If it does boot, enable USB debugging and unlock the reactivation lock in Settings/Security. If it doesn't boot and Odin OG5 tar fails, try KIES. If KIES doesn't see it in recovery, try the MTP fix for Windows Samsung driver.

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=34864154&postcount=14

Did you extract the OF5 recovery from tar? You may also try flashing other partitions of OF5 and see if KIES will do the emergency recovery of OS.

Personally, I think the OTA issue has to do with modifying a partition or a log we can't restore or wipe. Apparently, even KIES doesn't reverse that where sequential OTA's may but that's not an option anymore, it appears. I just don't think you can fix OTA updates without a lot of effort and risk.

Keep us updated. Share what works.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EpicBarbecue:
No doubt downloading OG5 now i checked wipe partitions and nand erase all lol still nothing funny thing is though after i unroot back to stock as soon as i re root my recovery goes to stock NIE...which is weird i think
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] samep:
That is direct result of applying CF Auto Root. Are you saying TWRP didn't stick after Odin CFAR? Normally you root first then apply TWRP. Just the opposite with OG5: power down Odin stock tar (auto boot enabled), Odin TWRP (auto boot disabled- pull battery and USB when done), boot recovery to flash freeza kernel, recovery flash SuperSU zip.

Why are you rooting OF5 if you're trying to get to OG5 with root? NVM, probably a troubleshooting step from before OG5 tar released.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EpicBarbecue:
Lol im trying to stay stock no root....but my phone will not flash ota's when it boots to recovery to flash the ota it says dm-verity verification failure and will not flash the ota...that happens when im completely stock no root

Lol thanks sir..flashed same result
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] samep:
Sorry to hear that. Did Odin of OG5 stock tar fail?

Did you follow these steps?

1.(If it boots, enable USB debugging and disable reactivation lock in security.)

2.Wipe internal memory, format data, power down. Extra wipes recommended.

3.In Odin 3.10.6, select disable OEM lock, make sure PIT is not enabled. Auto boot should be enabled. Stock tar flash should pass and boot.

4.At setup enable USB debugging, disable reactivation lock. Power down, back to Odin, use same options except auto boot should not be enabled. You want to Odin TWRP; one you get confirmation of success or done, remove USB and battery for thirty seconds. Reinstall battery.

5.Boot to recovery and flash freeza's kernel first then SuperSU zip. I believe the boot between the two is flashes is optional, not required.

At what step are you failing?
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EpicBarbecue:
I can root and return to stock just fine the problem that i have is when im stock i can not take an OTA or factory reset the device because in recovery it says DM-VERITY VERIFICATION FAILURE.....apply update from ADB:disabled.....apply update from cache:depreciated. ......and thats what it tells me and i dont know how to fix that problem cause nothing works....i cant even brick this damn thing lol i was always worried about bricking not any more lol

hey, epic, when i had a dm-verity disaster back earlier this summer, i was able to use LMMT's -ob7 file to recover and then resume with a working phone... of course, downloading that and rescuing my phone just lulled me into a false sense of security, because ' automatic updates ' was set to default ON!!!!!!... and that just led to freakin' -oe1... AND WE ALL KNOW HOW MUCH FUN THAT HAS BEEN!!!...
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] samep:
Delete /cache/fota folder and that won't be an issue for those that don't want their bootloader updating.

(this is what happens)

I think that puts a stop to looking for updates too, as well as deleting the update.zip

But the good thing is that it still allows data profile and prl updates without having to freeze and thaw in Tib.

---------- Post added at 09:17 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:02 PM ----------

this is from an earlier post of mine, from june 22 2015, and deals with my trials working w/ recovery's...

yeah, i originally soft-bricked mine also, odin'd the twrp tar and did not know i had to boot straight to recovery... THAT scared me damn near senseless, phone re-booted after odin-ing twrp and froze at the Download screen, not recovery... eventually i figured out that the recovery process had not completed... so i did it again, this time using flashify (had to do it all directly by phone, did not have laptop with me), and told flashify to reboot to recovery, and this time i let the scripting process finish, u can watch it in the top left corner of screen, and when it finished, twrp came up... BIG relief... and theni told twrp to reboot system, and the phone came up to the phone desktop, just like it was 2 days earlier acting like it never had a problem in the world... and now i am on Noterized, and it IS quick and snappy!!... the newer versions of twrp have the scripting process built in, but it has to be given the chance to run, or the stock rom will overwrite your just-installed with the original stock recovery, you can watch it overwrite also, you phone willl stop EVERYTHING and say ' Installing Updates ' ... and thrn it will boot to desktop or whatever and u wil be on stock recovery...

---------- Post added at 09:27 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:17 PM ----------

sorry for the lengthy post, it may be helpful to you and i did not have time to cut and paste everything from earlier post... if you can not odin a tar, maybe try re-doing that recovery, and/or get w/ mr. freeza, he seems to be the current local genius on -og5, maybe it can be determined that a certain twrp or philz is better... i'll check back in tomorrow, good luck and please keep us updated, i am sure i will need help again one day, and knowing how to repair something is half the battle...

GS5 OE1

I just got an S5 and tried to downgrade and root but discovered it has OE1. I read this whole post but still not sure what to do. Would any be willing to post the steps required to do this? Any help would be appreciated.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] samep:
I wouldn't be too concerned about this thread's momentary concerns and trials and workarounds. A tar release cured most of the ailments suffered rendering this thread irrelevant now.

You should visit your carrier/model thread. Things to look for would be whether you should root and maintain root prior to upgrade; I expect you have at least 2 updates to consider.

I think it was only Verizon that made keep root a prerequisite to keeping root on update. Maybe it also applies to other carriers but you may not find that critical information in this forum. Research. Your hesitation to upgrade and ask questions may be warranted. Take heed and best wishes.

Once again my Vario II will not start Pocket Outlook. No matter how I try to start it I cannot see my e-mails or text messages! Can anyone please help me? I have had this before, searched for help and found none that helped so did a hard reset to resolve the problem.

I do not why this happened again and had made no changes in device (incl installations). The only thing of note was the fact that the fault was preceded by the device failing to complete a normal start-up. I got around that problem by starting in safe mode (Spb Pocket Plus) then uninstalling Phone Dashboard which I had correctly diagnosed as the cause (at least I think so because that fixed at least that problem).

Any help to avoid a hard reset would be very much appreciated.

Problems with Outlook

I found the problem was due to my outlook attachment folders being corrupted, I was storing these on my storage card but I guess the problem could also happen on the device storage.

Seems to be a similar problem to Windows Media loosing your storage card for library entries.

Anyway to fix both problems simply deleting (you may want to back them up first) the relevant folders seems to solve the problem.

Outlook attachment folders: Inbox.xxxxxxxxx

Windows Media Library: MSMetaData

SecondScreen - Eliminate lag when Miracasting your phone to Fire Tv/Stick​

This app doesn't do the casting - it simply changes your phone resolution to match your TV which eliminates the lag when using miracast

This app allows you to change your phones screen res so you can miracast it to your Fire TV with no lag.

This app requires your phone to be rooted.

Your phone must be capable of Miracasting. If your phone does not support miracast you may be able to enable it by adding/changing the following line to your build.prop and restarting the phone then enable wireless display by pressing the 3 dots on the top right of the cast screen settings page found in

phone settings > display > cast screen

persist.debug.wfd.enable=1

Instructions

Download SecondScreen from the playstore

SecondScreen Download Link

Open it and create a profile

As a guide here is mine based on my Moto G 4g XT1039

Once done and applied your screen res on your phone will change and you can start casting via your phones native cast screen to miracast with no lag

Once finished just pull down the status bar and stop SecondScreen (or restart your phone)
[Fire TV Themes and Apps] KLit75:
Coolest thing ive seen here in awhile. To my surprise, i didnt need to edit the build.prop. But my htc phone has no miracast support. Youre thread helped me find a missing link which was a playstore app not available in the US. BUT it was on blackmart. It worked with secondscreen app. Thanks.
[Fire TV Themes and Apps] jarayn:
What would this be useful for?

Serious question. I have had various screen mirror alternatives (including the one built in to the firetv) and could never find a use for them. I just cant see what I would want it for.
[Fire TV Themes and Apps] TheFixItMan:
The build.prop line is to enable miracast if your phone does not have it enabled by default - Think it requires android 4.2 and above

This app doesn't actually do the casting - your phone needs to be able to cast itself

What this app does is to change the resolution of your phone to match that of the TV for casting which eliminates the lag when miracasting your phones screen onto the tv

Then what ever is currently on your phone screen is displayed on the TV
[Fire TV Themes and Apps] KLit75:
Well after reading your op and failing to get it to work I found that my phone has support in build.prop but no cast screen setting to enable (supposedly its hidden). When I start the WiFi display (miracast) app it automatically launches the second screen app you said to install. From there i select my profile and I'm actually mirroring the device (dont ask how or why it works like that.) I haven't tested much but lag was mostly undetectable. This is something I've wanted for awhile. I can cast youtube with my android tablet but don't use it much for that. However, being able to mirror my phone on a big screen is very useful to me. This is the first time I've done it since retiring apple TV a year ago.
[Fire TV Themes and Apps] TheFixItMan:
Glad you found a use for it
[Fire TV Themes and Apps] KLit75:
Thanks. I thought i had discovered actual screen casting earlier (what you intended to teach)

When i launched wifi display app i found that my phone doesnt have a "cast screen" option however in settings/media output there was a new option for my fire tv. So i thought i had figured it out. I quit everything then just attempted launch second screen app but when i went back into media output the option was gone and wouldnt reappear.

Strange...for me it wont work without that wifi display app...not complaining because it basically does what i wanted.

The only thing that could be better is the aftv itself. Its kinda crappy that you need to navigate to the "enable mirroring" on aftv. Apple tv, an inferior box by most accounts, does this particular task very easily and has for a long time now.

Thanks again for the post.
