I've been out of the loop since the Note 4 launched and the first root was available. I think I have a grasp on what needs to be done to be rooted on 5.1.1, but would like confirmation.

I am currently on 0B7 stock rooted. Taken from this thread I can flash this file then root with Freeza's Beastmode stock file?

I've read through both threads and can't find a definitive answer. Is the alternative to flash back to stock OB7 then take the OTA's all the way to 5.1.1, then root?

Thanks!

Any of those methods will work but once you give up the OB7 Bootloader you will not be able to downgrade.

You can Odin flash the OG5 Baseband and then recovery flash freezas OG5 zip file and get to OG5 while still on the OB7 Bootloader.

Keep a watch on the development thread as there are a couple odds"works in progress" regarding this whole issue.

The CF-Auto Root does work for OG5?

---------- Post added at 09:17 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:57 PM ----------

I am a little late to the party. Please bear with me.

What do you mean by freeza taking care of the root?

I took the OTA, and I am looking to root. So far, I can see that using the CF-Auto Root causes a bootloop. So, I am looking to root and would like to know how freeza took care of it? Is it by flashing this through odin while on the loop?

Some tips for those who already took the OG5 OTA update and want root (will be obvious to most of you, and most of this has already been covered in other posts, but some might benefit from this guide with download links included):

1. Copy the BeastMode kernel zip to your phone or SD card.

2. Start Odin3 v3.10.6

3. Place the TWRP tar in the AP slot

4. Uncheck Auto Reboot in the options tab

5. Flash TWRP -- when it's finished flashing, disconnect USB and pull the battery for 10 seconds (on my phone, if I put the battery in too soon, it boots without pressing the power key)

6. Put the battery back in and boot to TWRP

7. Install the modified kernel zip you copied in step 1, and reboot.

8. Since you're in TWRP, might as well clear the cache.

At this point, there are a number of ways to get SuperSU on your phone. My TWRP asked me if I wanted it to install SuperSU, I said yes, but I already had SuperSU installed on my phone, anyway.

My phone complained about "KNOX has unfortunately stopped", so I just used Titanium to freeze all the KNOX apps, which cured that.

Be very patient the first time you run apps that request root. It will pop up the "grant" dialog eventually, but sometimes it's slow to do that after a boot.

Don't know if it's a regular problem but..

First of all thank you for the stock .tar I successfully flashed and I'm up and running on 5.1.1 I am however having a really annoying problem with Sprint's hands free activation basically popping up all the damn time at random. I'm outside Sprint's service area and am currently sim unlocked so I use another carrier all together. Is there a way to stop this?
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] xxSTARBUCKSxx:
If you google your issue, it will return TONS of information that worked for many people. Youtube videos even. There are many different methods that work for some and not for others, but at the same time..there were various methods mentioned. Just googling your issue myself.. i found about 5-6 different methods and that was just on page 1.

Might wanna search.. youd be surprised what you can find if you dig.

Sorry I wasn't clear, i wanted to know if there was a way to stop it without having to root, it's my wife's phone and she complains about the slightest modification i make lol, last time i rooted on 5.1.1 knox kept crashing and leaving aLmost as annoying notifications. I searched for it before but could find no resolution that didnt require root. By now I can see it probably isnt possible. Thanks anyway

I do appreciate the tar but for a heads up, this will wipe your internal storage so either move everything to an SD card or back it up to a computer or the cloud beforehand.

Help me please

I Originally was on Lollipop 5.1.1 and wanted to Root So i used a guide i found on galaxynote4root.com and Rooted my Sprint Note 4.(everything went smooth) I made sure to backup my files and then flashed to CM12. i did not like that ROM so i tried to restore my backup i made in TWRP. That did not work and put me on a bootloop. So i reinstalled CM12 then i downloaded Stock Firmware and tried to use Odin to Install but i get a FAIL! SW REV CHECK FAIL: [ABOOT]FUSED 4 > BINARY 1. i really hope i am not stuck with having CM12 and somebody knows how to get me back to Stock settings.THANKYOU

[MENTION=5012817]Aoe316[/MENTION] Modem is included in the tar. You do not need to flash it separately.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] samep:
Are you flashing the correct tar? You can't go backwards from OG5. Unless you were using the OB7 bootloader on OG5, there's only one tar to Odin.

If you're flashing the correct tar, could be a bad download. Make sure you're opening the archive and dragging the tar.md5 file to Odin folder to flash. And use latest Odin from here:

[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] samep:
Can you get into recovery? Factory reset or wipe everything but sdcard and flash the tar in post 1 of this thread.

Power down, pull battery 30 seconds, boot into download mode, flash in AP slot with Odin defaults Auto Reboot and F. Reset Time and let it boot after flash.

Still fails? You may have a bad download; download and try again.

I just upgraded to the Note 5 and want to return my Note 4 back to stock. It's currently rooted on Hybrid-X 3.0, with the OB7 bootloader. Can I just connect it to Kies and restore it back to stock that way, or do I need to ODIN using the TAR from here?

Thank for you help!
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] samep:
If you're looking to sell it, it may be better to factory reset and Odin OB7 stock tar for resale. It would remain backwards compatible. Just my opinion.

This tar would be fine if looking to use the latest stock with bug and security fixes and upgrades. KIES may work for that. I'm thinking KIES would most likely recommend upgrade to OG5 rather than restore OB7.

Guys, whats the md5 checksum of the tar file?
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] samep:
md5 for zip is 68EC06027A3ECFE8471263256B139257 (check against zip but to use in Odin, drag the tar.md5 out of archive and place in Odin folder)

Anyone else confirm this number? I actually used the OB7 to OG5 tarball myself but IIRC, I downloaded this twice to verify same md5 number both times.

I have been pretty lazy in keeping up with the updates on the note 4. I'm still on NK4 and wanting to finally update to C0G5 . I'm rooted, custom recovery and custom rom. Can I just flash this tar using ODIN and be set, or do i have to unroot first? Or do I have to take a different update first?

Thanks for any input!
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] samep:
Did you mean Sprint Note 4 NK2?

No need to un-root but I'd recommend backup, factory reset and data format. Wipe everything but extSdCard and power down prior to starting dismiss mode.

It's your choice whether or not to burn the bridge or not. Flashing the OTA OG5 stock tar will prevent your bootloader from downgrading back to any older one. That basically breaks Odin downgrade.

If choosing to retain Odin downgrade capability, look below for link to a tar ball by tx_dbs_tx for OB7 to OG5 to get to OG5 from OB7, keeping the OB7 bootloader but runs with OG5 system regarding the ROM. I think you have flash OB7 stock tar first.

[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] samep:
Yes, tar restores to stock un-rooted and may partially wipe but I'm not clear on which partitions get wiped.

I'd recommend a clean install anyway. Backup your keep sakes. Full wipe and power down, use latest Odin with default settings, let it boot and run the setup wizard and verify full function before any customization.

Are you rooting or flashing a custom ROM at some point? You'd have to Odin custom recovery; no auto reboot in Odin, pull USB and battery prior to booting directly to recovery. Rooting stock requires a custom kernel flash and SuperSU flashed in recovery but a custom ROM would include those in the ROM zip.

[XDA Assist] Worldblender:
Around last June, my family has gotten a TV box set only providing Chinese content, but boy have I had a hard time with this device! Although there is an app store for that box, there aren't that many apps that I can download aside for a few games and other productivity apps. From whatever technical information I could get, here's what I got:

Android version: 4.4.2 KitKat

Model: S8G40

RAM: ? 1GB

Internal Storage: ? 8GB

Connectivity: HDMI (the main output), microSD card slot, USB 3.0, 3.5mm audio-video plug, Ethernet

Input: Remote control (the menu key is seldom used with the custom software), USB devices

CPU: possibly ARMv7

Power source: 12V DC, 1A

While trying to install the select apps, I did get the popup for local APK installation, which tells me that "allow unknown sources" is turned on. There is also neither the Play Store nor other Google programs installed onto that box by default. The built-in app store did tell me the following:

ADB: closed

Root: closed

Without the stock settings app, ADB can't be turned on from the device.

Some popup dialogs I got indicated the set box software is based on AOSP, but none of that was helpful to me.

Moreover, I tried some USB hardware with it, and they work. A USB mouse puts a cursor on a screen, but isn't useful with most of the custom software except the AOSP parts I occasionally saw. A USB keyboard with extra shortcuts worked, with the following buttons working:

Home -> home screen

Volume buttons, including mute

Suspend key -> puts the device to sleep; when powered on again, the full boot cycle is performed

Music -> opens the stock music app, displaying no files even with external storage connected, and the only non-custom app I successfully opened up.

Screenshot keys work; I get a screenshot taken, but it is then impossible to view or delete the screenshot afterwards as they could be stored on the non-accessible internal storage.

USB storage is mounted, and a custom file manager limited to photos, music, and video can be used to access one. This file manager proved useless to me in trying to get outside APKs installed.

USB hubs can attach more than one of these or the following at once to the set box.

I even took the set box apart once, and got to see its hardware (specific hardware can't be listed as there's no way to get an app on there to tell me that info. There seemed to be no hardware button for resetting the device nor a recovery mode. [if needed, I can send images of the hardware]

All in all, that set box IMO is really secure, with JTAG hardware possibly being the only way I can achieve customization and more outside of the intended activities (the set box could also be leased hardware, of which then my family won't own the set box, possibly turning modifications to the set box into forbidden activities). My situation is an obscure one; the company providing the set box is probably not well-known, and that hurts my chances of being able to obtain the ability to customize the device. If nobody can help, I'll simply stay away from such software-limited hardware next time.
