Okay... here I go again... My device is a N920W8, but not Canadian (Puerto Rico - PCT). My carrier doesn't give a s**** to update normally, at least when is for OS updates.

I tried twice to install the Tmo kit to update to MR the BL & CP... both times Odin's result where "Failed!"... First time I even soft bricked the phone... I tried a second time, and failed.

Any idea how to update or where to find a W8 BL & CP, instead of the "leaked" kit to try a third time? I mean, hoping not to full brick the phone! LOL

And, yes, I followed all the instructions and downloaded the files twice to verify the sizes, renamed the files to .tar, as it's stated, updated the TWRP to the 3.0.2.1, etc.

Any suggestions, please let me know! I feel like a the Flintstones at The Jetsons' time running Lollipop instead of MM! LoL

BTW, currently running AryaMod Rome, with the included kernel, running good, but... Would like to be up-to-date! [emoji16]

Thanks in advance!

here

http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/database/SM-N920W8/

or somewhere within the last 10 pages someone uploaded the 6.0.1

since w8 are all the same you should just be able to put it in AP and use ODIN
[Galaxy Note5 General] jomaca9:
So, basically is going full stock, root again, place the TWRP recovery again, etc,? I could try that...
[Galaxy Note5 General] phil.W:
yup. there is also a post in there including the deep sleep fix, and the updated superSU. for rooting etc.
[Galaxy Note5 General] Oogar:
Tried both kernels in the T-Mobile thread that have been updated in the last day or two (Sky High and Stock Modified).

Both seem to work, but was definitely having weird issues with the Sky High one (froze, couldn't get out of deep sleep, etc) so it seemed buggy at best. Went with the Modified Stock one and it seems to be working great.

Running Extreme Debloated Note5 MM rom.
[Galaxy Note5 General] jomaca9:
Oh, well... Just did the jump to MM using the files from Battlehero's post (Extreme Debloated Rom).

BL + CP, TWRP, Wiped, Flashed (to test) Androidwizzard's MyLilith's Rom + Stock (W8) Rooted (from Battlehero) Kernel... Done! I'm a MM user now! [emoji16]

Thanks for your attention! [emoji106]
[Galaxy Note5 General] AlwaysLimey:
Rogers still saying Wednesday for official MM. Odd's that doesn't change? Fingers crossed!
[Galaxy Note5 General] force70:
Weve had official for awhile lol, you realize that flashing the firmware via odin is the same firmware you get from an OTA right?

We people wait is beyond me lol.

[Galaxy Note5 General] AlwaysLimey:
I'm sure. Honestly though after years of rooting and flashing.. I'm finished. OTA until a device is not supported anymore. Life is too short.
[Galaxy Note5 General] force70:
I could not agree more lol, life is too short so I prefer not to wait for things i can have today :D

Your still here on xda so that desire to flash is lingering in there somewhere :D

[Galaxy Note5 General] force70:
Haha....well Ive been called worse lol.

I really liked MM on my nexus devices so was curious to see how it was on the note....Im not disappointed.

Its def worth flashing in odin.

Flashed 6.0.1 from Sam Mobile on my Note5 -N920W8.. Knox didnt trip and I have no deep sleep battery issues causing drain.

I previously used an app to emulate the power button.. Easier to quickly shut the screen off when slapping the phone in my pocket and such.. This app stopped working with how MM utilizes the FingerPrint scanner.

I was using screen off and lock and now using screen lock pro.

Aside from that everything works flawless.. I really dont notice much change between 5.1.1 and 6.0.1.. Lol

What new options are there in MM?
[Galaxy Note5 General] Mr. Droid:
Hi All

I recently traded my nexus 6p for the Note 5 and need some assistance.

I was able to root and install twrp however I am confused about roms.

Which roms can we flash ?

Can i flash any rom from note 5 original android thread or does it have to be tmobile note 5 thread?

Do we need to install a kernel after flashing a rom or is that a specific rom request?

Do i have to make sure i flash a rom that supports only n920w8 models ?
[Galaxy Note5 General] Battlehero:
Just in case N920W8 users that want to use N920C ROMs weren't aware that a simple fix is available:

Download your ROM of choice.

Download this fix.

Move them to your phone.

Make the back-ups

Perform the wipes

Flash the ROM

Flash the fix

Enjoy.

You are required to be on a marshmallow bootloader and modem, which are provided here

Make sure you have the latest TWRP which is available here (This is flashed in the AP section)

The latest Odin is available here
[Galaxy Note5 General] Mr. Droid:
Hi quick question do i install the bootloader and modem with odin using the AP button ?

After that go to recovery and install lets say dr ketan rom or riverhigh rom and flash the audio fix that you posted and i should be ok ?

Does that mean i can flash any n920c roms on my n920w8 going forward?
[Galaxy Note5 General] Battlehero:
The section in which each file needs to be flashed is in the name.

BL_xx.tar goes in the BL section

CP_xx.tar goes in the CP section

Make sure you have the latest TWRP which is available here (This is flashed in the AP section)

The latest Odin is available here

Then after that you can follow the instructions stated previously.
[Galaxy Note5 General] Mr. Droid:
Thank you just flashed the modem and bootloader.

Copied over riverrom, kernel and voice fix and i am in twrp flashing the rom

---------- Post added at 05:35 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:31 PM ----------

What CSC do i select when flashing the River Rom? I dont see canada or us
[Galaxy Note5 General] Battlehero:
You can select any, possibly the closest one for your country.

CSC in ROMs don't make a large difference.
[Galaxy Note5 General] Mr. Droid:
Well it seems that my phone is stuck on the boot screen of the rom and wont boot into system at all.

Tried a wipe and reinstall again ddnt work.

Tried to restore my nandroid and it wont boot.

ANy suggestions ? maybe the rom is not a good one

Welp, Rogers just changed the release date from Tomorrow to "Coming soon" lol

[Galaxy Note5 General] Battlehero:
It was reported to work fine on my ROM and Dr Ketan's ROM.
[Galaxy Note5 General] Mr. Droid:
Thanks i have dr ketans running now i will be testing yours as well
[Galaxy Note5 General] zerojay:
It may no longer be the case which may be why there's been such a delay on Rogers. Running the standard Canadian ROM on a Rogers Note 5 has resulted in massive battery problems even on phones that have been completely factory reset.
[Galaxy Note5 General] Mr. Droid:
I just noticed I'm not getting LTE with Dr.Ketans rom and I just noticed we have to pay to get pro features lol things have changed around here since my last visit around here

[Galaxy Note5 General] noahattic:
I saw it as well.... I online chatted with Rogers agent and they told me there's no software update schedule whatsoever.... I was like ..... ridiculous....

Glad we have xda !!! I'm done waiting!!!

Seriously? What a fustercluck operation. :(
[Galaxy Note5 General] zerojay:
People who answer phones don't have anything to do with the people that certify and push out updates to people. It's normal for them not to know.
[Galaxy Note5 General] redz1234:
I'm using it, no battery drain whats so ever. Runs flawless and knox didnt trip..

I believe the battery drain your referring to is when your rooted but there's already a fix for that.. Some one even pointed that out in this thread a few pages back.
[Galaxy Note5 General] zerojay:
The phone was totally stock, never rooted, fully wiped.
[Galaxy Note5 General] redz1234:
I agree.. Those same people can't even explain your bill.. LoL.. Good luck trying to find out when a ROM is going to drop from that group. I would try Rogers forums if anything but there's no point. Go flash the rom off sam mobile. Its gonna be the same one Rogers drops anyways.

My CSC even changed to Rogers on its own. LoL

Oh.. I haven't experienced issues.. Getting lots of deep sleep also.. Since flashing MM 82.3% is deep sleep.

So I broke down and did it.. tired of waiting. You jerk lol

I personally find Knox being quite useful.

1. Knox is able to create separate App instances which enable me to sign into a few IM apps at the same time.

2. Knox can separate my work apps and emails from my personal ones. It's secure and entirely isolated.

I really wish there's a way to root the phone without tripping the knox.

I use 2 different phones. One for work one for personal....solves item 2.

[MENTION=4463570]force70[/MENTION]

I do not like carrying two phones and especially they are doing the same job. hate "redundant".

for item 1, well, being Asian myself, I use wechat a lot and wechat does not come with multi user feature. so if u have two accounts (work and personal), u cannot log them in at the same time. hence, u might miss a lot of msg's. Knox is quite useful in this case.

BTW, I could not find the Rogers rom thread at sammobile, could anyone help point out the way? thx.

All canadian providers release the same rom. I flashed the Telus version.

The nexus has some advantages for sure.

Way more development

128gb storage option

Stereo front facing speakers.

It will always have the latest firmware

Better battery life

Things the note has over the nexus

Camera is better, not by a mile mind you but better

S pen

More aesthetically pleasing (ok maybe not exactly an advantage) i have titanium silver and its a looker lol

More comfortable in hand

On paper the nexus looks to have more advantages yet I use the note more lol...go figure

No problems with battery here, on Rogers with marshmallow Canadian firmware. Even with wifi calling enabled, battery pretty close to what I had before on ?.

[Galaxy Note5 General] hawki:
How did u enable Rogers wifi calling? Step by step please
[Galaxy Note5 General] Idan73:
Came in the marshmallow firmware, almost a month ago.

Option to use in dialer settings.

Not officially supported, but had Fido at the time, and long time ago I enabled wifi with iPhone. It worked right away.

When I switched to Rogers it did not work cause it's not officially launched for Android yet, so when you try to register for wifi calling 911 feature, it refuses, even though the webpage for Android wifi calling exists on Rogers site (posted screenshots month ago).

Called in and requested they add iPhone imei to my account, which I also used for 911 registration. After putting sim in note 5, enabled wifi calling feature, and that's it.

[Galaxy Note5 General] d0rkster:
Anyone know which rom would be better for our Canadian model? TEKXodus rom or Dr Ketan rom?
[Galaxy Note5 General] force70:

Rom preference is usually based on which features in the rom the user wants or needs.

Either of those are both excellent roms....so there really isnt a "better" rom rather which one do you prefer based on its features.

Has anybody been getting bad battery life on MM even after a full factory reset? I'm stock unrooted and I'm getting 90min of screen time and my battery is down to 35% 10 hours later..
[Galaxy Note5 General] Ohhdayumm:
Your phone is being held awake by something for 6 hours which is probably the main reason why your phone dies so quickly or little sot. Try to reset or reflash firmware via Odin.
[Galaxy Note5 General] skadude66:
Is there any difference between doing a factory reset in the settings, and refreshing with Odin?

Also, if I refresh with Odin, do I trip Knox? I was never worried about Knox beforehand, but I want to keep it at 0x0 for when Samsung Pay comes to Canada.
[Galaxy Note5 General] Ohhdayumm:
When flashing stock firmware it wont trip knox. And theres kinda no difference but people havevgotten good results from reflashing

Alright, thanks! I'll give that a shot tonight.

Lol yea lots of card is not fun. Um not sure when its coming to canada tho.

I have the exact same issue personally.
[Galaxy Note5 General] Idan73:
It is definitely not coming this year (samsung pay), cause it's not even out for countries announced in january (or December), and Canada was not among those.

By next year most of us will be on other phones. I already am 50 percent of the time.

Android pay (if it ever gets here) is not related to Knox, but rather to root.

Yeah sorry missed that article from March. On the original announcement back in winter, of expanding past borders of South Korea and USA, there was no mention of Canada. Just Australia and England...

Still, to reiterate, England and Australia still don't have it. Canada being added 3 months later would lead to speculate that it will also be 3 months late past those other countries launch. Most from this forum will be on the next phone. Most mainstream users will not, but then again, they are not members, or know what the root is.

[Galaxy Note5 General] Mairei:
My friend didn't even think about it, he already overwrote the Bell firmware with Thrash ROM from the TMobile thread and his LTE is very spotty and laggy so I am looking to get him back to Bell CSC and change modem for 920W8 which should help, I think? If you can post, would be great as I don't have access to a Note 5 to get those files at this point. 2 more hours left downloading the full ROM so I can extract the modem for him... ;)
[Galaxy Note5 General] Idan73:
Well the files were posted and downloadable for telus or Rogers, any will do. But I'll post.

As for modem. Him flashing the tmobile custom rom did not overwrite his w8 modem. Those are safe, as for number of generations now our phones can only flash signed modems in Odin, which of course are all w8. So basically we only go up and down on our own w8 scale.

In old time modem crossflashing was available and was great, but politics....

For him getting back to full stock canadian, he still has to be rooted right now.

Currently procedure is, flash Puerto Rico firmware in Odin, install root, custom kernel and twrp. Flash bell csc in twrp.

Did not test flashing only stock recovery and kernel after and removing root, in order to be as stock as possible.

[Galaxy Note5 General] FunkyMcBain:
Hey guys, I've read through this thread and I'm curious. Someone mentioned that development for the Canadian version will probably suck, but couldn't we use ROMs for any of the other GSM models? The models are never changed in ROMs so what's the difference? If this really is the case then I think I'll just be getting the G4
[Galaxy Note5 General] force70:
The G4 has a locked BL unless its an EU version... Good luck with dev there.

Ive had notes since the note 2 and there has never been a lack of dev for any of them. We were always able to flash Tmo roms and intl roms ( with some extra work) That said given the new iPhoneish platform of the N5 i don't know how popular it will be with developers. Samsung has alienated much of its fan base ( myself as an example) with the inote 5...time will tell.

N920W8 Canadian reboot problem

Hi guys,

I flshed with the Puertorican firmware and then with TWRP, almost everything seems to be working but I have 1 huge pain in thee @$$ now it reboots randomly and almost always reboots during phone calls. I've been reading forums for several days now and I can't find any solutions. Any help wold be much appreciated and a beer for you it you're in Toronto :)

Cheers

How did you get it to stop rebooting? I'm on theat puertorican firmware + TWRP and I'm still getting concistant reboots after being on a call for 2 minutes.
[Galaxy Note5 General] FunkyMcBain:
So you're saying that just cause it's the Canadian version doesn't mean we can't flash other ROMs right? How's that note 4 treating you?

Another question for the Canadian users, how's the battery life? I've read that it seems to matter the version how the battery does. I think the Tmo phones have pretty bad battery.

I'm thinking I might go buy this phone from Rogers and test drive it for a few days the return it. Seems like this thing needs a good few days of living with before taking the plunge

Im saying if past experience across 3 notes is any guide there should be lots of roms for Canadians to flssh!
