Ok guys...here it goes.

Completely wipe ALL (CACHE-DALVIK-SYSTEM-DATA-INTERNAL SD (MAKE BACK UP PRIOR) BEFORE flashing this. This needs to be a FRESH-CLEAN install. For those that did it without these steps and have not had any issues...LUCKY...but for those who have issues...

Do above steps, flash the official tar file in Odin 3.10.6 with auto reboot checked. Let phone boot up and let it run its set up as far as activating the phone,Google sign in and let it even update a few apps.

Stop update of apps in PlayStore, power off, reboot to download mode, (volume down+home+power) some say pressing home doesn't matter, but try it anyways.

Once in download mode (after vol down+home+power then vol up at prompt screen), start Odin 3.10.6 as administrator on computer. Go to Options and uncheck auto reboot, connect phone via usb. Highlight the BL button and find TWRP 2.8.7.0.tar.md5(img) that you hopefully already have downloaded on your PC and double click on that.

Now you should have in the upper right of ODIN a BLUE box that says com(000?) Question mark being a number. Below that, in the box below Options/Log should have "Added". Click Start. After the flash passes, remove battery for about 10-30 seconds. Insert battery and press vol up+home+power. If all went as planned you should be in TWRP Recovery, if not, re-do above steps again.

If in TWRP Recovery flash BeastMode kernel and the SU update zip (2.49 I believe), reboot. Now you have stock Odex rooted.

Power off, reboot recovery(vol up+home+power) wipe cache/dalvik flash this De-Odex ROM from ext sdcard, after that, flash BeastMode kernel again, reboot.

All should be well if everything went as planned.

Hopefully this helps...again...!

Would probably stop the reboots but that would put you on rooted OG5 with a locked bootloader. I'm trying to keep the OF5 bootloader to avoid having the OG5 locked bootloader. Looks like I'm going to have to make the OG5 tar with a OF5 bootloader for myself
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] DreamingWolf:
To be honest I don't know. I wiped my phone squeeky clean (everything except extsdcard X3, factory reset X3, data format X3 and flashed Uberwipe.zip) then Odin'd the full update tar, then Odin'd TWRP, then flashed the deodex version, wiped cached, then flashed the SuperSU 2.49-beta version (just to make sure of root) and wiped cache again and rebooted.

Everything has just worked for me and is blazing fast even though I use a 3D launcher and reloaded 120+ apps from TBU, many with data.

Best advice I can give is always start from scratch and slowly add to it till you hit a problem. That way you know exactly what is causing the problem. Shortcuts have always caused me problems, which is why I try very hard to avoid them now.

Just as a point of reference. I don't use the BL slot unless I am only flashing a bootloader. Full Tars, modems, recoveries, etc always go under AP for me and I have never had any issue with bad flashes. So using the BL slot is not a requirement as some have suggested.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] kenjesse:
3x'd everything except internal and external storage.

PS... originally installed [MENTION=1278226]txd[/MENTION]bstx's ob7 bootloader modified tar via odin for 5.1.1. Prior to that install I wiped internal storage as well. Never wiped external storage.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] xxSTARBUCKSxx:
You neednt be.

This is a simple Rom Flashing. No different than flashing any other ROM. This isnt a tar. is a ROM!

You(in general) should already be on a working TAR/Firmware before flashing this. OB7, OF5 OG5, DOESNT MATTER.....

Make sure you already have Custom RECOVERY flashed. (always use AP slot guys for Modem/Recovery Tars in Odin, never BL slot)

Make Sure the ROM is already on your external SD and Do a FULL WIpe x3 Format Datax3(typing yes) and in Advanced, Wipe that SYSTEMx3, everything but ExtSD.

If you are.. Good, Odin the OG5 Baseband if not already on it. ( uncheck autoreboot, flash in Odin, pull USB/Batt, wait 30 sec, click reset, repeat flash process) Let it boot up, If you get a BootLoop, NO SWEAT! wait for it to automatically reboot itself and be ready with the 3 button process for entering recovery and flash the ROM through recovery and youre good.. THATS IT.

The ROM flashes the ROM kernel and SU all at once. Thats it, youre Done...

Youll be on Your Bootloader you started with, youll be on OG5 Baseband and youll be on OG5 Rom with root.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] DaggettBeaver:
I used BL and it worked for me, but I trust your knowledge over mine. So from now on, AP it is.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] xxSTARBUCKSxx:
When i first started seeing people mention using BL slot, i wanted to intercept and say no, dont do that.

But so much has changed with samsung lately and how we do things, that i waited and no one(including you recommending it, wouldnt have if it didnt work in the first place) and i never saw any backfires from people taking advice using the BL slot and no problems were mentioned. So i just let it be.

Nothing is what it used to be anymore.. and we have to learn from each other, as these things keep changing, what does and doesnt work from our Note 4 SubForum-Community.

If BL works for you, and you dont have any issues, keep using BL by all means, lol. But in general. AP slot is used for PDA tar files.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] xxSTARBUCKSxx:
Very much indeed. I was only offering the route that i took, only as another way of getting the rom up and running with no flaws, as i have none, in hopes that others could try it if they had issues and possibly run this rom with no issues. Youre spot on with the bootloader remark, that very much could also have an impact on what might be causing the random issues with one set of users vs another set of users.

Ive no qualms with the other methods mentioned in how to properly go about getting this rom working, only adding to the many methods that have worked. And the method i used, GT works just fine, no random reboots. Just trying to provide some useful info, like many others.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] styles420:
OB7 was the last bootloader that wasn't locked, as far as I know - there's no reason to stay on OF5 instead of OG5 because both are locked and both prevent downgrading. Unless I'm mistaken, you're already past the point of no return
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] lilmeanz:
Anyone know how to clean internal SD card from previous rom flash?
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] twynn:
No because OF5 only blocks down grading. But I can flash a recovery without a battery pull. The bootloader is not truly locked it just blocks going back to a previous bootloader. In recovery OF5 shows reactivation lock as "off" .

---------- Post added at 02:09 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:05 AM ----------

I don't know why no one appreciates OF5 is not locked it only blocks down grading something I have no interest in doing
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] styles420:
I think it comes down to the mere presence of the reactivation lock - you never know what might turn it on, and what problems it might cause when flashing custom roms. But a "feature" that isn't present can't be activated ;)
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] twynn:
Well one thing we know about OG5 is that the reactivation lock is on and the bootloader is locked. I'll hold on to my unlocked OF5 bootloader as long as I can. That's why I am avoiding the OG5 update.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] styles420:
Fair enough - better to focus on the full half of the glass than the empty half :)
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] ianmb:
In recovery just format internal sd. But you WILL lose all data and files if you don't back them up.

Proceed with caution.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] lilmeanz:
Will I lose twrp and root?
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] ianmb:
That's cool. I feel the same as far as various trial and error methods for flashing. This 5.1.1 update seems to have its little quirks and various issues from user to user.

Flashing methods have definitely seemed to have some small hurdles since the updated bootloader.

Off topic but does anyone know why sacs S6 port was removed? Just curious. ?
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] xxSTARBUCKSxx:
Recovery no, Root, yes. (From strictly wiping and formatting /data and /system that is)
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] DaggettBeaver:
For what it's worth, since I upgraded and applied the BeastMode kernel, I can no longer connect to my laptop via Bluetooth. I can connect to my old GS3 fine, so it shouldn't be the Bluetooth on the laptop. Unfortunately, I didn't test it without the BeastMode kernel first, so I don't know if it's an OG5 problem or a BeastMode problem.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] xxSTARBUCKSxx:
OB7 Bootloader here on OG5 Rom with Beastmode Kernel, connected to laptop just fine via bluetooth a moment ago.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] DaggettBeaver:
Must be something else. I just restored OG5 tar, no root, and Bluetooth still failed to connect. The weird thing is that my Note 4 connects to my car fine, and my laptop connects to my GS3 fine, but my laptop can't connect to my Note 4. Go figure.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] HunterKiotori:
So i just read everything in this thread, i have OF5 bootlocker with OG5 baseband, have wiped 3x on EVERYTHING. I flashed the rom and it so good without a problem.. except for these God Damn Reboots. And from what i can tell, it hasnt been solved and was dropped. So does anyone know what can be causing this?
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] DaggettBeaver:
There's no advantage to having the OF5 bootloader. Have you tried flashing stock OF5, taking the OTA update (which puts in the OG5 bootloader) and then doing the TWRP/BeatMode kernel to get root? That's what I did and I don't have reboot problems.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] lopies:
Thank you Androidwarrior. I was not able to make this work. I just to be sure I did correctly. I downloaded BuildPropEditor and went to the end and entered:

*wlan.wfd.hdcp=disableSave*changesReboot*your deviceDONE!*Screen Mirroring working*

Then I rebooted.

Is this correct?
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Androidwarrior:
Depends on the buildprop. If it's two fields to enter the information. Then it's just going to wlan.wfd.hdcp then second field is going to be just disable. Save reboot. You may need to set ro.storage to false.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] lopies:
Thank you Androidwarrior & xxSTARBUCKSxx. It is working now.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] HunterKiotori:
But other people have said OF5 is unlocked and only blocks downgrade while OG5 is locked in more areas.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] tommy_2q:
I keep getting the "turning on WiFi will disable hotspot" pop-up when using hotspot.. Anyone else have this problem?
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] DaggettBeaver:
Maybe I misread those posts, because I thought you couldn't downgrade from OF5.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] notmyepic:
I also get this pop-up. Logcat shows it coming from

pkg:com.kineto.smartwifi

which is for wifi calling. I have no idea how to make it stop
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] ianmb:
I thought that using hotspot was supposed to turn wifi off because it uses your data? I mean, if you can access wifi why would you need to be a "hotspot" because others would be able to access wifi signal also. You become the wifi signal for others that can't get a data signal. Maybe I misinterpreted the post...?
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] DaggettBeaver:
For what it's worth, I went back and found the post I read before. And according to that poster, OB7 was the last version that allowed you to downgrade. After that, you're stuck. So if you have OE1, you can't go back to OB7. And if you have OF5, you can't go back to OE1 or OB7, etc.

I don't know that for a fact from experience, but that's what they say.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] notmyepic:
Hotspot does turn wifi off, however if you have wifi calling setup it looks like it is trying to turn wifi back on, thus disabling Hotspot.

Someone more experienced than me will have to explain exactly what Wifi calling is found that for
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] ianmb:
Maybe you cant do both at same time?
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] ianmb:
Hmmm....
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] KLPFL:
Where did you get the ael kernel for 5.1.1 may I ask?.. i thought it was no developed by the developer.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] ianmb:
There isn't
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] KLPFL:
Oh thanks .. thought there's from the screen shot
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] ianmb:
Just a kernel, no ROM. ?
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] HunterKiotori:
I underatand i cant downgrade but like i said, others have said that staying at OF5 bootloader is best. Now back to the original problem I'm having, is not having the OG5 bootloader really the reason im having the reboot problems? No one seems to know or care about this issue even though it is being experienced.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] kenjesse:
This isn't meant to be rude in any way. .. but I think the lack of input regarding your issue is most likely because I don't think there are many people still on OF5 in this thread since freeza disabled the root block in the OG5 kernal. It was that root blocked "kernel" that had everyone on OE1 and OF5 staying away from OG5. Once OG5 gained root most on OE1 and OF5 took the ota from what I understand. That coupled with the fact that most of the rest of us in this thread are still on OB7 and have no experience to share with you regarding OF5 kinda leaves you hanging, but not because we think it's a non issue just a lack of practical knowledge on our part. Sorry.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] KLPFL:
I knew the rom stop long time ago.. i was referring to the Kernel..
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] tommy_2q:
We are not trying to do both at the same time.. We know we cannot have hotspot and WiFi calling simultaneously. We are trying to stop the warning from continuously popping up...

---------- Post added at 06:22 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:02 AM ----------

You must go to OG5 by flashing original OG5 tar. I was on OF5 and kept getting reboot message. There is zero advantage to staying on OF5.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] ianmb:
Not publicly released as a stand-alone kernel. You just have to do some looking to find it.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] bigbabo:
Im on of5 if you need anything tested or pulled from ...btw will there b theme for this one like u had on n3 for stockish rom
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] styles420:
Hotspot turns WiFi off because it uses the WiFi hardware - it can't host one WiFi network while simultaneously connected as a client on another WiFi network.

I use USB tethering instead, and can connect to WiFi just fine while tethering (which is useful for connecting a computer without WiFi hardware to a WiFi network, if it gives better speed than your mobile data in that location). Connecting more than one device with USB is more complicated, but not impossible - some routers support USB Internet connections, which would act like the WiFi hotspot on steroids (stronger signal, charging instead of draining the battery, and a few ethernet ports for devices that somehow still lack both WiFi and USB networking support)

I'm currently using the deox version and am having the same issue with the finger print lock spazzing out sporadically while in use. The most common times that it occurs is when I am switching in and out of my music app, or typing and I have music playing and a notification comes in and it just freezes, shows the desktop, without apps/icons, and then to the lockscreen, and powering it on in the lockscreen takes forever and it seems like it's not even locked and will flash off and back on to the lockscreen. and another result is if it occurs when using the keyboard, it freezes everything and I can power the screen off and on and it won't lock, and will wake up and turn the screen off and lock the device. Anyone else having this issue?

[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] tigerluck:
ok, looks like I have no choice but to clean install the rom. Getting random restart. Before I wipe my phone, if I do a full data backup with twrp then clean install and restore from twrp will I have all of my original apps and settings from the phone?

Would there actually be a way that I can just clean install og5 without root and still be able to restore my phones settings and app?
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] poit:
I ran totally stock and SHealth worked fine. I just flashed the rooted kernel and SHealth would no longer load. Reflashed stock over it and SHealth worked again. Wish I could get root and SHealth at the same time.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] ianmb:
If you odin the .tar file it should save all your apps and stuff. Like it does with a system update. It did with me. But it will wipe your internal sd so make sure you back important stuff up from internal sd!
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] erik077:
Sorry if someone already asked.. does hotspot works for you guys? I got "you have not suscribed..."
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] tigerluck:
So, I can just odin the og5 now and it will put me back to stock no root and keep my files? do you mean my sd card memory? It seems weird it would wipe my sd card memory and not the internal phone memory. I'm just trying to preserve my data so I don't have to reinstall everything.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] ianmb:
I mean your Internal(phones sd card) External(removable sdcard) so like I said, make sure you back up whatever important from Internal sdcard as this will wipe it. ?

And yes it will put you back stock unrooted.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] tigerluck:
how can I restore all my settings and apps? what program can I use to backup? initially I was planning to backup with twrp, but that would mean I need to reinstall twrp..
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] ianmb:
You will still have all your apps and data. The tar file will wipe your PHONE sd card, the internal sdcard, NOT the one you put in.

Theres apps on the market that backup apps that dont require root.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] ianmb:
Go to Settings/Application Manager/All find S Health clear cache and data then reopen it. I'm running AEL Kernel v2 and it works for me.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] tigerluck:
Sorry, I am a bit confused. Most of my apps are installed on my internal memory, along with settings, wouldn't it get wiped once I tar?
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] ianmb:
Simply put, whatever apps you have installed will still be there after odining the tar file. Whatever important files you have on Internal sdcard (pictures,music,game files,etc) copy to either pc or External SdCard so you can put them back afterwards.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] tigerluck:
ok thanks. So, if I just backup all my files from my phone, do the tar, then copy all the files back, there would not be any conflict and I'll have all my original settings and data on there?

[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Droid2drummer:
Real quick. I can only take so much of the rumor. Or misconception. If the og5 or any bootloader was "locked" you'd need loki or the likes to flash a rom and you would not be using beast mode kernel as you cannot flash a kernel on locked bootloader. The only thing is blocked downgrade and reactivation lock along with its code. But we do not have any locked down bootloader. Thank you.
