I think the image you passed me already employed some kind of compression on it, as I was getting errors about an invalid sparse data header or something like that. (The size on the disk was also less than the reported image size.) Unfortunately I'm unable to mount or convert it on any of my machines so I'm a bit useless.

Thanks everyone for all the help you've been, by the way! :D
[Dell Venue] xBIGREDDx:
It's just a dump straight from my system partition. I don't have my tablet with me so I'm not certain on file paths but essentially I did:

dd if=/dev/block/by-name/system of=/storage/sdcard1/system.img

So it's a raw dump of the system partition, whatever happened to be in there.

I think the fastboot command tries to sparse things on its own, but fails?

If you want to try re-partitioning (could be dangerous, could be harmless), try these commands with the partition file from the OTA package:

EDIT: For anyone else coming along, don't do this, it didn't work out well for wirebrook. /EDIT

fastboot oem start_partitioning
fastboot flash /tmp/partition.tbl kk2lp_partition.tbl
fastboot oem partition /tmp/partition.tbl
fastboot erase system
fastboot erase cache
fastboot oem stop_partitioning

You may also want to erase data while you're in there.
[Dell Venue] wirebook:
That must be what's happening. I'll fiddle with things a bit more later on. It's a bummer there aren't any custom ROMs I could simply flash as an alternative to getting stock up and running... ;)
[Dell Venue] social-design-concepts:
It's looking for the sparse magic header that's not there I can when I get home you could also try to use 7zip to compress it to a .gz but I believe Intel stopped support for that format in 4.4.4.

I'm at work I have it at home if your on Linux and want to convert it.
[Dell Venue] wirebook:
Not sure this'll be useful for me any more because... (see below)

Gave this a shot and partitioning seemed to work just fine. Flashing the OTA boot.img worked just fine, and attempting to flash your system.img once again threw an error at me. Thought I'd perform a reboot at this point (bad idea!) to see what I was working with and then I found myself with [MENTION=6460009]anggusss[/MENTION]' USB screen. (http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=60675581&postcount=5) Probably should've tried flashing a something else just to see if that did anything.

Guessing I've now got a brick, because I'm no longer able to get it to register with Fastboot. I can, however, flash the open-source firmware and the unbrick.zip firmware, which reacts exactly like when [MENTION=6460009]anggusss[/MENTION] did it. We'll have to see if Dell ever gets back to my original query for help, otherwise might have to look into contacting Dell for a replacement. :(
[Dell Venue] vampirefo:
You might have better luck, just using one of the tethered TWRP recoveries, If someone with a working system backups up system via TWRP recovery and shares it you could use the TWRP recovery to restore it.

I have Linux version tethered TWRP up and SDC has Windows version of tethered TWRP up.

Thanks for the thought, but if I can't get into Fastboot mode (or get the computer to recognize the device as being in Fastboot mode)... kinda unable to use it.
[Dell Venue] xBIGREDDx:
Oh man, sad to hear, I've done that successfully in the past, they must have changed something in the process. I check just about every day for an update to the dev. firmware. Last time around it took them just over two months from release, so maybe, end of June?
[Dell Venue] wirebook:
Fingers shall stay crossed till the end of the month, then! ;) Contacted Dell Support and- just as I predicted- they don't want to help out. Something about being unable to do anything at all for Dell products purchased outside of their support areas (US and Canada). What a joy of a phone call that was...
[Dell Venue] wirebook:
An internet search landed me on guides for unbricking the Asus Zenfone displaying a similar USB symbol. They used the xFSTK Downloader to flash a set of files which then gave them renewed access to the bootloader (and thus fastboot). Played around with the xFSTK-Downloader and Manufacturing Flash Tool apps and can see the 7840 and even flash the (open-source and unbrick.zip) firmware, however I'm at a loss for what I might use for the Operating System flash files. Anybody have any thoughts?

Feel like I'm so close to getting this thing unbricked. If I could just figure out where to find the .bin "OS Image" that the tool wants...

Edit: Would also need the droidboot binary. FIngers crossed for Dell to release all of this soon...
[Dell Venue] enzymeyllw:
Hi, boddy, i also got a chinese version 7840, and now bricked with no system. Do you unbrick your device now? if you do, please point me the direction. Thanks a lot.

I have a 8525, and have a screen issue, the screen doesnt respond to screen taps with stylus. Everything else work ...

I replaced the LCD, and the problem continued.

Is there anywhere I can get the Diagnostics SD card that's mentioned in the service manual?

Or download the diagnostics program and save it to my current SD?

Thanks in advance.

​

My sincerest apologies to everyone, I honestly do not have words. Due to unforeseen circumstances, I have to remove this rom from XDA. It's also closed on the other forum, but that may change (I really do not know). What I can say, is that whatever the reason, it has nothing to do with the contributors here (myself, [MENTION=4180899]wcoast[/MENTION], [MENTION=1097804]sawdoctor[/MENTION], and so on). However, since the base rom belongs to Myarom team & Echoe team, we no longer have permission to host or otherwise support it. We still give both teams thanks for allowing us the opportunity to release the rom for the T-Mobile Note 4, and experience the beauty of this S6 port for a little while at least. I admit I'm rather upset about this, and I'm sorry I don't have an explanation (even I don't fully know what happened) but life goes on, there are other projects to work on. While I was looking forward to a longer journey with you guys & I wish the project could have stayed and evolved, that journey must end here and now.

This is official notice that this DevDb project is hereby closed, and the thread will be listed as discontined, and more than likely deleted in the next 24-48 hours. If you need any help, I will do my best during this time period.

Thank you,

I'm bored, so gonna give this a shot.

Does this have all the same animations and everything from the S6/Edge?

This is a pretty awesome surprise! Thanks for sharing and thanks for everyone's hard work, gonna give it a shot!
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] turilo:
Ah yes the S6 port I seen on the n910f thread. I was looking through this one there but looks like still needed some qwerks worked out so didn't bother trying it out. Good to see more ports heading over this way.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] nano303:
Awesome a new ROM to play with!!! Thanks op!!
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] absinthesummer:
It's a full port so yeah, s6 edge stuff is all there
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] absinthesummer:
We will have updates and fixes out soon enough, just wanted to get the rom up (it's stable enough for release) and we'll go from there
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] TheUndertaker21:
Nice gonna try this. Hopefully finger print is fixed soon.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] ohmygaa:
Just a quick report after booting and letting it settle for an hour or so.

- Weird lag when trying to wake from sleep, 1~4 seconds delay

- "Water Droplet" is the default lock screen effect, however there is no "Water Droplet" lock effect in the settings. The animation itself is taken from the "None" lock screen effect.

- The other lock effects have their audio cut out just after unlocking.

- Emotion kernel doesn't seem to work with this ROM; I just get a black screen and nothing else. I haven't tried the stock kernel yet.

For now I don't think I can use this as my DD, but the S6E features (particularly themes!) make me want to regardless. Thanks again for the hard work.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] TheUndertaker21:
Xposed doesn't work with this rom :(

Has anyone tried to do a backup, then restore???? When I do, my touchscreen doesn't work. Any ideas op?
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] SpencerA99:
I just tried one to see if it works and it worked for me. My touchscreen still works so I dont know?
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] absinthesummer:
Nope, I'm absolutely positive that's how I do it every time I wipe to flash a new rom. System, data, dalvik, cache, internal storage. Twrp... I know for a fact it is perfectly safe, and the most thorough pre-flash wipe. I certainly wouldn't post something I wasn't sure about without some sort of disclaimer.

For best results you should wipe everything except your external SD card, which is where the rom zip should be. Now if you don't have an external sd card to put the rom zip on then obviously you can't wipe internal storage because the rom zip would have to be there, but in most cases people put rom zips on the external SD card.

The main reason you want to wipe internal storage is because leftover files from other roms/installations can cause problems and conflicts. It's not a full clean flash if you don't also wipe your internal SD card.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] absinthesummer:
Not sure on that one. I can test it after work tomorrow though. I'll see if I can duplicate the issue.

Also, is the touchscreen issue while in recovery or after booting? Maybe there's a log. (If it's happening in recovery, it'd be recovery.log on your SD card, if it's happening after booting, it'd be in data/log (dumpstate error...)

EDIT: one more question, which version of twrp are you using? Does it happen with other versions as well?

Hey guys, anyone using alternative kernel?
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] absinthesummer:
Did you setup the prints during the initial rom setup? If so, that is still buggy. The fix is not perfected yet, things are still being worked out. You can't set it up during initial setup or it won't work. My fault, I forgot to add that bit if info to the op when I was editing this morning :/ Should work otherwise, however.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] absinthesummer:
I'm using emotion (for now). You can probably try a kernel of your choice (however, n910f kernels seem to cooperate better). Just check the notes in post 3- flash stock cod6 kernel, then the kernel of your choice.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] ColBill:
I messed up and flashed emotion without following the instructions in post 3 and now I have a black screen. I made a backup but am looking for a suggestion on the easiest way to get to recovery so I can restore superb ROM by-the-way thank you sir. was in a rush and went brain dead.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] absinthesummer:
It's all good.

Pull your battery, put it back in, then go into recovery manually (button combo: volume up + home + power) once there, you can flash them in the proper order, or you can reflash the rom kernel... which I have around here somewhere, using it for testing. I'll upload it in a min.

Thanks for the quick response. However i now cannot get to recovery as i tried to use Odin and reload the source ROM - I have put the note in a reboot do loop. I'm now downloading the software from SAMMobile and will try for a fresh install (I hope). if not i have a new paper weight. You are awesome staying on top of this stuff. thanks again for the quick reply. If i had waited for your reply i'd be in hog heaven now. instead of hours of work.

[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] mgbotoe:
There is a bit of lag going on as you use it yes. ..I notice the ram usage us pretty high in this without even running anything. My only solution is a reboot every couple of hours depending on how often I'm using it.

I'm sure in due time all will be fix. ..also will suggest turning off some system apps. They just be coming up by themselves eating at the ram. Our stock has better ram management

So you are using complete stock kernel? Simply just flashed?

I'm using what came with this rom
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] boostnek9:
Ya, I always stick to stock kernels, I feel they provide the best battery life.

I also use it as a baseline, if the battery life sucks with custom rom and stock kernel, I usually play from there but I really do feel the phone works well with stock kernel 90% of the time.

Yes, I simply flash the stock kernel.

[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] PhoneG3ek:
Every time I flash the ROM I flash the ROM itself and the stock kernel together and then reboot. It stays on the Samsung screen so I remove the battery for about 5 seconds, reboot, and after around 5-15 minutes it takes me to setup.

[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] boostnek9:

View attachment 3353184
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] absinthesummer:
A couple things,

1) raise min cpu especially for screen off

2) turn off ambient display

3) turn off lock screen (I haven't done this, but other users have if you read back a couple pages)

4) try a different kernel

You may only need to do one of these things, it you may need to use some in combination. Just try them and see what works best for you :)
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] G1toEVO4G:
yup. for some strange reason i cant send a mms
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] absinthesummer:
Hmm. Well when the stock messenger app won't send mms for me what I usually do (cause it's the easiest to try first and usually works) is install a 3rd party sms app like go sms and send an mms through it. Usually that can resolve an issue with the stock messaging app and after it does, you can uninstall the 3rd party app.

Beyond that if you're still having issues, we'll go the apn route, but definitely try that first, because it's worked 90% of the time for me when everything else data-wise is fine.

I believe his point was you'll burn up & wear out your CPU much faster using a performance governor constantly. You may be lucky & not have problems now, but you probably will in the future. It's like letting your PC run at 98-100% CPU all the time- the stress alone will kill it early, not to mention the heat. He's trying to help you out. You may be cool with the risks associated with using a performance governor all the time, but other users who aren't incredibly familiar with governors may not want to take that risk of damaging their cpu. (Again, not immediate damage, but it definitely won't last as long as a phone using a more conservative governor that scales frequencies as needed- which is the way it's supposed to be).

Users shouldn't run performance governors constantly unless they A) Understand the risks associated with it and B) Are willing to take those risks. Again, there's a time and place for the use of performance governors, but you really should not run your cpu that high all the time. You may be fine with that, and that's cool, but please don't tell other users to use performance governors without also explaining the risks involved. Doing so is just plan irresponsible.

I didn't mean to go off on a tangent, and I know you mean well, that your heart's in the right place... but really that could limit the lifespan of a user's device, and not telling them that risk when you recommend this governor isn't right. I'm glad it hasn't hurt your phone yet, but you shouldn't be so dismissive of [MENTION=1097804]sawdoctor[/MENTION]'s advice- he is right in this case and was trying to help (both you and the users.)
