Was there any success with the OE1 nandroid? I don't think it's any good for taking OF5 OTA but about as a daily driver until a stock tar drops?

Too bad there's not a TWRP 3.10 to make older nandroids stick on OE1 and OF5 builds; LOL.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ryanalan82:
I'm not trying to be the **** here but..... you jumped into rooting way too soon. You should have done plenty of reading before. Plenty. Enough to feel confident that you could have gotten out of an easy situation like this. You don't know how to take a screen shot? The amount of Noobs is mind blowing to me. I wish rooting was a lot lot harder, or at least more like the HTC phones, cause Samsung is way too easy to root if a noob isn't sweating bullets afraid they might brick the device. Sorry everyone for the rant but these forums are way too cluttered. You shouldn't be able to access download links without x amount of posts and logged in time reading. I'm sure there is a way to make that happen. Like a test you have to take on rooting before your allowed to root, test for roming, and a test for kernels. Again sorry for adding more clutter, but after you get your phone up and running I bet you'll read more from now on so you don't have to go a whole day without a phone waiting on answers from others. I ask questions on the Durango forums for working on my truck, but not before I've searched, and read all I could without answers. Most of the time I can find my own answers on there or here.

On a computer download the stock tar, c.f. Auto root and the custom rom of choice. Use Odin for the stock tar and c.f. Auto root. Use recovery to flash custom roms and kernels. But you should stay away from roms and kernels until you are more prepared. Always keep a stock tar on your computer so you can get out of a jam. Always keep 1 or 2 custom roms and kernels on your sd card to get out of a jam once you learn more and start into all that. if something happens during the day you can start fresh and have a phone quickly again. Also use titanium backup for your apps. I never have done nandroid backup because some data from restored apps may not play nice on another rom. It's best to slowly restore everything and you get to see if something causes problems. It usually takes me a good 4 hrs to wipe and fresh install a rom. To get everything back, with all the apps installed and all the rebooting I do along the way. Hope everything works out.

[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] samep:
Sorry, that question wasn't directed at you. Since I don't have confirmation of your current build, I limited my suggestions to what I know.

Best advice: take it to Best Buy Experience. Much of what I did recommend had more risks. Extreme options only, like being told to pay for repair due to not covered.

Be careful how you treat others in this forum when you're asking for help. Not a warning but advice. I can empathize, the feeling of desperation and anxiety is already communicated. Understood but I'm running out of ideas. No one wants to give advice that renders your device a brick. If it comes up to warranty replacement, don't volunteer information. Q: What happened? A: IDK, it didn't boot. Wrong answer: I flashed x and it bricked. They may find out anyway; Samsung has gotten notorious for that recently. Personally, I'd ask to have it flashed. If they can't or it fails, then maybe worth the risk (read on for alternatives) to take it back and try whatever but read and make the least risks first. I don't think it's beyond fixing it's just the tar hasn't released. If you have a temporary device to fall back on, use it until a tar releases.

Not withstanding, other suggestions may follow but I'm out in the heat and finding data connection intermittent. I tried though. Best wishes.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ryanalan82:
Dude, if you can't boot into android at all you either need to flash a rom or Odin the stock tar file.

GO HERE: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=59483780

download the file and Odin on your computer if you don't already have it there.

If you have used Odin before I shouldn't have to explain.

Flash in Odin the stock tar

Reboot and you should have your phone back.

Stay away from everything but stock until you learn more.

[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] idavyko:
Let's see.... A little days after latest update (Sprint 5.0.1., still), I decided to root. What I did:

-I went on http://grantbarker.com/samsung-galaxy-note-4.html

-I downloaded CF-Auto-Root ----> SM-N910P (Sprint, Qualcomm): CF-Auto-Root-trltespr-trltespr-smn910p.zip

-I downloaded TWRP recovery-----> http://xdaforums.com/note-4-sprint/orig-development/tool-utility-twrp-2-8-1-0-teamwin-t2915591

-I odin'ed a tar.md.5

-SuperSU app appeared.

-I put 3 buttons when power was off.

-TWRP opened.

-I downloaded http://xdaforums.com/note-4-sprint/development/rom-noterized-rom-super-speedy-reliable-t3099382

-I put it in INSTALL then rebooted it.

ANDDDDDDD

I FORGOT TO INSTALL SUPERSU BEFORE REBOOTING IT!

RESULT? It's bootloop. I discovered there are NO backups and recovery in TWRP. I screwed up.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] samep:
Don't get your hopes up too high but after flashing this and getting that error, that's where others discovered that... wait for it... Flash CF Auto Root (again).

I know you think you exhausted that idea but that's been the recommended fix for that scenario and has been reported to work on more than one phone.

Now that you have that, follow the steps as outlined before. Look for RED Android... If it boots make a nandroid. If you don't have recovery, flash it in Odin.

BTW, that is the indication that you're on the newer builds that prohibit Odin stock tars from flashing.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] idavyko:
newer builds? Are you saying that phone is "empty"? I tried to flash every tar.md5 in every odin and nothing happened.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] samep:
You pretty much did what I suspected but there was no extra step required to install SuperSU because the custom ROM itself is pre-rooted.

I suspect you read an older guide that lacked all the warnings you've found after the fact. Had the guide been updated and concise, it would've had a warning to verify your build and called the ones not compatible with guide by name with implicit instructions not to proceed until verified OK.

That said, what's your current status?

Ummm? What current status? If you talk about About Phone, no. I can't open homescreen at all. Remember I am at bootloop... FOREVER.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ryanalan82:
If you had listed the steps you just did in the beginning I wouldn't have been so harsh before. The rom you flashed already had root as most custom roms you flash will be unless it says stock no root. But that's not the problem as others have have stated your on the OE1 update. The problem was that you have on the newest update which makes it so you can't backtrack. You flashed an old rom that isn't compatible. I thought notirized was flashable with OE1? But I also haven't kept up on that subject cause I would never have taken that update. I don't move on to an update until the custom rom of my choosing is updated to that. This was however something you should have kept up on with reading about your update before flashing anything.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] samep:
Until the next tar release, none of those stocks tars you downloaded will work. They're not supposed to anyway. One user said he managed it somehow using Odin 3.10.? Which one? Don't know. Did he flash the whole tar? Uncertain. Couldn't get duplicating results out of a couple of posters that reported flashing parts of the stock tar and then using KIES to install OB7 may have tricked KIES into installing OB7 minus the bootloader. Some report about a KIES query for an elusive serial number that can't be found to satisfy KIES. One reported this shouldn't happen if you're on a touchwiz stock Rom. Only way I can think that's possible is if the modem and recovery for OB7 is flashed. Maybe even wipe system and Odin flash stock OB7 kernel? I wouldn't recommend wiping system just yet unless you've don't that already?

Again, don't try any of this without first trying to flash CF Auto Root immediately after a failed Odin stock tar attempt. Did you try that?

Without tricking KIES or Odin authorization, don't expect these methods to work. If there's a concise process, I can't recall a report of confirmation.

One last thing, since you do now know you're a OE1 or OF5 victim, you can also try that OE1 nandroid mentioned earlier. I would try that IF the CF Auto Root fails despite following the workaround for no red android in stock recovery in CF OP.

Hope you find a good boot somewhere along the way. If you do, report in the thread that helped you most; report your steps and triggers that got you where you were and what helped you back. I certainly hope all that asked for help didn't end up with a brick. Maybe there's not enough reports of success to find the best method to recover?

I copied Noterized Stable 2 and pasted it in SD Card. I Odin'ed a flash then installed Noterized Stable 2 in TWRP. Guess what? It's working! Finally, my struggle is over.

Hi all

A week ago a rooted my Samsung Galaxy S6 device following this post: http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s6/general/root-pingpongroot-s6-root-tool-t3103016

All was OK. At that point my device is using the Android Version: 5.0.2

The question I have is that now the version 5.1.1 (Lillipop) has been released, I would like to know if my rooted device can still be upgrading when the new version is released in my region (Mexico) by the phone provider. (Telcel). In case it cannot be updated automatically, I guess I will need to do it manually or unroot my device. In that scenario, Does someone know a good tutorial how to do that?

Regards!
[Android General] itskapil:
[MENTION=6822535]LesthadMK[/MENTION], sure you can update rooted devices. But it may not be possible via OTA update. You will have to download the full firmware and install it manually.

Because root makes changes to system partition, OTA fails when you have rooted. If you unroot and flash stock recovery and kernel back, then OTA may work. Otherwise, simply flash the full firmware, in .tar format using Odin software, and you're good.

It's good to have full firmware saved on PC anyway, as if in case you brick your device, you can fix it by installing your device's firmware manually.

If you need help with 5.1.1 firmware installation on your s6, let me know the build no. of your device.. I will guide you to page you need to look at.
[Android General] LesthadMK:
Thanks for the help. I have download Odin in case I need to do it manually.

Also, mentioned that yesterday I read an article saying that using the Samsung software "Smart Switch" in an rooted device will upgrade the device to the newest version (which I don't know if it it's true or not) Any way this is the link I found:.... Well seems since I'm newby I cannot post some external links. So just google it as: How to Use Smart Switch to Update Your Galaxy S6—Even It's Rooted.

By other hand, this is the build number for my device: G920IDVU1AOE3, so if you can help me to know how to upgrade that version that would be very helpful ;)

Anyone else getting the REG99 "Unable to Connect" error with WiFi calling on an LG Leon?

A bit of back story, I used to have an L90 and it connected to my home WiFi just find and WiFi calling worked great. The GPS sucked so I chatted with LG and they had me send it in. They said they fixed the speaker, sigh, and when I got it back, the GPS worked a bit better but still took 5-10 minutes to get a lock and then it would be jerky and not always that accurate. It also started unmounting and then remounting the SD card. I saw that Best Buy had the LG Leon's on sale so I headed down there with the phone and the receipt and the guy there said he'd trade it in "on an exception basis" since I'd already dealt with LG. Anyway, the Leon is faster, the GPS works great, the SD card stays mounted but WiFi calling won't connect. So, I'm wondering if anyone else has seen anything like this or not. I tried clearing the cache partition per the T-Mobile web site. Of course it says to do a factory reset but I just got this and just logged into it so I kind of doubt that will help.
