I see that version 4 is what is used on Jasmine rom v2.0 but the newest I can find is 3.2. Will that work or do you have plans to add a link go v4?

All versions of MultiSystem kernel work fine; v4 has a few more updates. I'll post it when I've time to make a flashable ZIP & test it. You may also take it from JasmineROM v2.0 ZIP: replace boot.img & /system/lib/modules in MultiSystem kernel v3.2 ZIP using WinZip!

Help!

Started with dev edition, rooted with Morom and TWRP.

I Odin flashed N910VVRU2BOF1_StockRestore.tar.md5, success.

Reboot to recovery now only goes to the verizon recovery.

Tried to flash TWRP and fails.

I didn't download or flash the bootloader.

Any thoughts??? What can I do now?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] balla48801:
When you odin the OF1.tar.md5 it overwrites your recovery and you have to reflash TWRP.

I would just redownload TWRP from there website. There is a link in my thread. Whats the failure reason your getting?

You probably flashed TWRP ZIP no TAR. Flash this via Odin!

[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] yearn2burn:
ap swrev: S1, t1, r1, a1, p1

[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] hsbadr:
Looks good! Make sure the battery if charged & flash this (check md5) via Odin!
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] yearn2burn:
Tried TWRP_2.8.7.0.tar.md5 and failed again.

Battery is at 35%

When Odin finished flashing N910VVRU2BOF1_StockRestore.tar.md5, I didn't wait for the reboot to complete before disconnecting. That shouldn't make any difference, should it? Also haven't wiped data yet.

Also, after the N910VVRU2BOF1_StockRestore.tar.md5 flash, I was away from my PC and tried to use it to flash a zip version of TWRP with the Verizon recovery, which of course failed. Those are the only things outside normal I can identify.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] hsbadr:
Try Odin 3.10.6 from here.

If it fails, check bootloader version in Terminal Emulator:

getprop ro.bootloader

Also, can you see the following in Download Mode:

[B][COLOR="Red"]MODE: Developer[/COLOR][/B]
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] yearn2burn:
n910voyu1ani1

in download mode, mode: Developer
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] hsbadr:
Ok, you should be able to flash anything! Check the cable, PC, USB drivers, files... I assume that your Download Mode shows "MODE: Developer".

Make sure "Reactivation lock" in Settings/Security is NOT checked!
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] yearn2burn:
yes, says Developer in download mode.

When Odin finished flashing N910VVRU2BOF1_StockRestore.tar.md5, I didn't wait for the reboot to complete before disconnecting. That shouldn't make any difference, should it? Also haven't wiped data yet.

Maybe I should try flashing N910VVRU2BOF1_StockRestore.tar.md5 one more time then go straight to Odin TWRP?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] hsbadr:
Make sure "Reactivation lock" in Settings/Security is NOT checked! Then, try to flash OAF Stock Restore if you still can't flash TWRP!
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] yearn2burn:
Aha! In download mode, it does say reactivation lock is on. I assure you, I didn't turn it on myself!
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] hsbadr:
Ok, all of these posts are b/c you've somehow turned on "Reactivation lock"!! Turn it off from Settings/Security & flash TWRP via Odin!

[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] balla48801:
I tried to dd sbl1, sdi, tz, and rpm . I took the files straight out of your update_OF1.tar to use for dd to copy over. Should I have used different files?OAF?

I rebooted into recovery, opened up adb, and entered the following exactly

adb devices

adb shell

dd if=/sdcard/boot.img of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/boot

dd if=/sdcard/modem.bin of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/modem

dd if=/sdcard/NON-HLOS.bin of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/apnhlos

dd if=/sdcard/sbl1.mbn of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/sbl1

dd if=/sdcard/sdi.mbn of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/dbi

dd if=/sdcard/tz.mbn of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/tz

They all went successful from what I could tell. All gave me similar output minus name changes for each file anyway.

C:\adb>adb shell
~ # ←[6ndd if=/sdcard/modem.bin of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/modem
dd if=/sdcard/modem.bin of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/modem

~ # ←[6n

When I went back into recovery I noticed still t2 but tried odin DevED_OAF.tar anyway and still got failure below. Anything I can try?

SW REV CHECK FAIL : [tz]Fused 2 > Binary 1

Also If I have to stick with tz being set to 2 then I will need to make my own update.tar.md5 for future updates? If so then would I just take sbl1, sdi,tz,and rpm from my OF1 update.tar and put it in any future update.tar?

Thanks for all your help.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] hsbadr:
Unfortunately, it seems that the update tripped a qfuse & you may have to keep the updated IMGs anyway.

The good news is that I can help in downgrading anyway. You can run OAF without issues, but I'm not sure about KK. In general, you won't need to downgrade since OF1 is running great compared to both KK & OAF + we expect 5.1.1 update soon.

For future updates, I don't create the TAR without testing: for example, going from KK to LP we had to update all partitions except aboot (luckily, they weren't incremented). So, I don't recommend to pack old & new partitions without checking them 1st. I'll consider your case in furture updates, but you can try if you wish!

hello hsbadr do u have nj5 rom for dev ed phone ?

[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] buhohitr:
Hi, I'm on stock K.K retail version and has temp root. If I flashed the OF1 and bootloader files, can I still able to use temp root while I'm on OF1??
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] chevycam94:
Sorry, just a bit on edge about flashing the wrong thing here.

I'm going to assume that the tar.md5 for RetEd posted in the OP, is a MODIFIED version of the OFFICIAL OTA for Odin? That's what I got when you said the bootloader was incremented.

Just being SURE. Better safe than sorry.

---------- Post added at 01:31 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:24 AM ----------

Also very curious, does the latest BOF1 have the battery drain issues BOAF did? Other performance issues fixed in BOF1?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] happy2472:
I just got this phat a$* phone from the s4 .... i have looked and see there is NO way to root this device yet .... so there isnt much i can do yet ... i cant even rollback to KK ?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] chevycam94:
No root on the retail edition yet, but you SHOULD be able to roll back, as long as your not on BOF1 (taken straight from OTA or Odin).
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] happy2472:
BOAF .. is what mine shows. So i can roll back with Odin to KK root and flash a new rom ... then when the root for 5.0.1 comes out ... roll up and hope theres a good rom .... is that about right?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] chevycam94:
That should work, yes
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] happy2472:
Any chance you can assist and direct me to what firmeware i would need? Onmy had this phone 2 days and still researching
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] chevycam94:
I can later this afternoon.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] hsbadr:
With this safe upgrade, you'll be able to roll back to KK & temp root. There's no rooting method for Note 4 on LP, yet.

Follow OP instructions!

Yes.

For me, it's an improvement over BOAF in terms of performance & battery life. YMMV, though. Backup your data/apps & try it yourself. You'll be able to roll back.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] chevycam94:
Thank you for the clarification hsbadr!
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] eklipz3:
hsbadr I messaged you a few post back about trying to go back to kk after OF1 update that repair asst. put on my phone, I texting back because I noticed something when pulled the tar file, one of the files inside said carrier.img.ext4 I've pulled tar files before but I've never seen one that said just wondering could that be anything?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] chevycam94:
I've never tried this, so I'm curious why, I assume, it wouldn't work.

Why not modify the BOF1 tar, to remove write protection? Does the boatloader check the other partitions for integrity?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] chevycam94:
Is this how it goes? I know I didnt connect the phone yet. I want to make sure before I screw something up.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] happy2472:
upgrade

so if I follow these directions

Quote:

• Extract the N910VVRU2BOF1_StockRestore.tar.md5 file using 7-Zip

• Extract Odin v3.09 & open it

• Reboot to Download Mode (press and hold Home + Power + Volume Down)

• Connect phone and wait until you get a blue sign in Odin

• Add the N910VVRU2BOF1_StockRestore.tar.md5 file to AP / PDA

• Make sure re-partition is NOT ticked

• Click the start button, sit back & wait a few minutes

• Reboot into recovery (press and hold Home + Power + Volume Up)

• Wipe data (Factory Reset)

• Reboot to system

I will be able to roll back to KK ... and then upgrade bat to lollipop when there is root?

currently

my Samsung is showing

SM-N910V

N910VVRU1BOAF

isn't this what ill be putting on my phone with those files? or like I read before this is a modification so I can roll back?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] chevycam94:
I think your missing the bootloader tar thats also in the OP. However, like my question above, I dont know if the bootloader tar is put in BL or AP. If you put it in the wrong one, you can REALLY screw things up. Thats why Im not doing ANYTHING until I get confirmation on which place to put the bootloader tar.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] happy2472:
I dont need the bootloader do i? Im already on BOAF ... the bootloader is IF your coming from KK .... RIGHT?? lol
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] chevycam94:
Im pretty sure thats right. lol This is, for some reason, a little more confusing then I thought it would be.

If your on BOAF, you SHOULD be able to roll back to KK directly. (from what Ive read). This SAFE UPGRADE is to try out the BOF1 update, while STILL being able to roll back to a previous version. Because if you take BOF1 via OTA/Kies/Odin, WITHOUT using the safe upgrade, your STUCK at BOF1.

Correct me if Im wrong, but in order to try out the BOF1 SAFE UPGRADE here, you need to flash BOTH the bootloader tar, AND the system tar.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] hsbadr:
Repair assistant flashes full firmware; You can't downgrade from the OF1 incremented bootloader.

You can't flash custom firmware on locked bootloader. The safe upgrade here uses official IMGs.

If coming from KK on RetEd, flash the OF1 stock restore tar followed by OAF bootloaders, both in AP. The stock restore is enough (if coming from OAF), but KK bootloader will cause brightness issues. Flashing OAF bootloaders (if coming from KK) will fix it.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] blubyu87gt:
Has anyone else tried to enable FDE with on OF1 (developer edition)? I tried after disabling root and it just sit on the Verizon boot screen forever.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] chevycam94:
Flashed to the BOF Safe Upgrade. Fingers crossed! (Odin makes me nervous for some reason)

[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] doctor-cool:
Is my phone ready for this upgrade?

Thanks in advance.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] chevycam94:
I've been thinking. How would this work? ...

Fake an app update to an installed system app, like say Velvet.apk, whose updates are NOT reset with every reboot, and is trusted by the system. Since the app runs with escalated privileges, have the fake update have a root function to set RW.

Just a thought. I'm sure that's more complicated than it sounds, but sounds like an interesting idea. I'm just not sure how much the locked bootloader keeps us from changing.

---------- Post added at 12:54 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:49 AM ----------

I believe you're good to go. Just follow the directions in the OP.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] stueycaster:
I forgot to disable this. I was able to fix it but finding out how was a nightmare. I finally found I needed to disable it in settings then the phone made me sign into my Samsung account before it would stick. Then I booted into stock recovery (I was unable to flash TWRP at that point) and did a factory reset. Then I was finally able to Odin TWRP.

Do you still own the Note 4?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] :
Just the retail. that's why I closed my thread. I went through a real tough time in life and I deleted everything on my AFH account, witch was stupid and haven't restored the Note 4 ones. I came back to the Note a couple weeks ago because I like the display better than the S6 I had. I probably won't bother with the Note 5 because of the battery size but only time will tell on that.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] hsbadr:
I agree, Note 5 is a no-go for many reasons: mainly lack of microSD slot & less battery capacity that isn't replaceable too. I noticed that you deleted all your AFH uploads; you may better make them hidden instead, if you've to.

The last "upgrade ruined my Note 4. Complained to Verizon, who said downgrade is impossible, agreed after some haggling and argument to replace my Note with a LG V10. Best trade I ever made.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] jayochs:
lol yeah well, not all of us want to jump ship that quickly. the stylus beats the v10 right there. LG is great, and i loved my G2, but the note was just such a better phone all around. lolipop sucked, but if you're smart and did the safe upgrade, you can roll back, which i did, and my phone is 10x better on kitkat...which is why, despite being incredibly excited that 5.1.1 apparently fixes all issues i had with this phone, i'm not upgrading until hsbad makes his awesome safe upgrade. that way, if i have an issue, i'll roll back to kitkat with no problem.

gotta be savvy before you can complain that the update ruined your phone ;)
