Anyone know where I can get the COG2 firmware with a decent download speed?

[EDIT]

I did find the post here about downloading Baseband and Bootloader only, and am downloading now.

I do have a question re: correct path for install: I am on FireKat ROM now. Do I simply Odin the BB and BL over that, then TWRPinstall the file from this thread?

Or, do I need to flash back to a complete base ROM, then Odin the BB and BL, then install TWRP and then file from here?

Thanks...
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] raf1919:
Thanks Crash.. unfortunately that didnt work, wont install on note
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] ewingr:
So, if you want root, can you root yourself, or do you have to start over with file # 2?
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] cbutters:
I think that in order to root I would need to start over with File #2 at this point in time. But not sure.

[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] DooLocsta:
I have not used Odin in the past and also need Wi-Fi calling so I know I need the first file. Do I have to root before installing TWRP or just boot in download mode flash TWRP via ODIN then use TWRP to restore the first file?
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Misterjunky:
re: twrp

You don't need to be rooted to odin flashing twrp recovery.

But you do need to use proper twrp version for your phone.

After you have odin flashed twrp you can restore the first file.

Be sure to do a full wipe including factory reset before you

restore the nandroid backup.

Good luck,

Have a great day!
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] DooLocsta:
When I boot into download mode then run Odin I get a successful connection to my device. Once I choose the TWRP tar file I do not get any message from OSM, is that OK?
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] ricanbandit:
I am loving this rom! Everything I use it for simply works. Thanks for upping this
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Android6190:
is there any way to put the s6 lockscreen on the 5.1.1
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] faslane:
What do you mean OSM?
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] _-..zKiLLA..-_:
If only this had xposed :(
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] DooLocsta:
In ODIN, I believe it is just because I have the .tar for TWRP and not a .tar.MD5.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Misterjunky:
re: twrp/tar

You don't REALLY have a .tar for TWRP do you? LOL
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] DooLocsta:
The link in the OP for the TWRP file is a zip that contains the .tar for TWRP. Is that not the correct file? I am just trying to follow the guide.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] denson9874:
I don't get what's so funny about it, I used a tar TWRP file in Odin to get 2.8.7.0. [MENTION=1539161]DooLocsta[/MENTION] you are correct, tar is for Odin flashing...
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Misterjunky:
Any zip file which contains a .tar is not a twrp file, I know it can become confusing.

A zip file containing a .tar is an odin flash file. (after it's unzipped of course)

Good luck, Have a great day.

p.s. I never said it was funny, you did!
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] denson9874:
But we are speaking of the aforementioned TWRP file DooLocsta was directed to, not any other tar archived file. The reply insinuated that the file the user was directed to wasn't what was supposed to be used to accomplish what was initially inquired.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Misterjunky:
Okay, okay for the sake of continuing the peaceful and friendly discussions

here in this thread I apologize for having a little fun by having a good laugh.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] DooLocsta:
After using ODIN to flash TWRP I get a success and Odin restarts the phone. When I restart the phone in recovery mode it is still the standard Note4 recovery and not TWRP. What I am missing?
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Misterjunky:
re: recovery

You need to odin flash twrp custom recovery, make sure that it's the correct version for the N910T phone.

Once that's done you will be good to go.

Here is the download link for the latest version of twrp recovery for the N910T: (v. 2.8.7.0 trltetmo)

https://www.dropbox.com/s/zbbwhdbfrhlp2bp/twrp-2.8.7.0-trltetmo.img.tar?dl=0

Flash this using ODIN.

All this is assuming that your phone is a N910T and NOT anything else like N910T3).

Good luck,

Have a great day!
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] DooLocsta:
Phone is SM-N910T Baseband N910TUVU1COG2. I just downloaded the file you linked, went to download mode confirmed Odin sees the phone. Selected the file and clicked start. Phone looks like it is loading something and reboots. I try to power off and get into TWRP but I still only get the original recovery mode.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Misterjunky:
Make sure that under settings>security the reactivation lock is not check marked (if you have such a setting).

Make sure that you have usb debugging enabled under the developer's options in settings.

Not sure the above will help, but it cannot hurt to try.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] DooLocsta:
Arg! Made sure all those settings were set and rebooted into download mode. Once the download mode screen is up this is what is in the top corner:

Odin Mode: High Speed

Product Name: SM-N910T

Current Binary: Custom

System Status: Custom

Reactivation Lock: Off

Knox Warranty 0x0

Qualcomm Secureboot: Enable (CSB)

Secure Download: Enable

UDC Start

I have to be missing something, I still only get the original Note4 recovery screen. I am pulling my hair out here.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Misterjunky:
Your KNOX status is 0x0 which is really strange, it looks like you never rooted

your phone before.

When you first purchase the phone the knox status is 0x0 and after you root it's 0x1

Try this, odin flash twrp one more time, but before you start the flash remove the

"reboot" check mark in odin and when odin is done flashing twrp see what it says

on the screen, look for any errors.

Most likely you will see no errors, then remove the battery wait 10 seconds then

replace the battery and power up the phone, there's a good chance it will work.

If worst comes to worst, you know that you can always odin flash the COG2 firmware successfully.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] DooLocsta:
I have never rooted the phone. I had asked earlier if I had to in order to Odin flash TWRP and was told that I didn't. I am misunderstanding something here? I need to make sure that my WiFi calling will still work after restoring the update. Thanks for all the help.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Misterjunky:
If you never rooted your phone follow the instructions in my last post.

Next step if you still can't odin flash twrp successfully is to see if you can root the phone.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] DooLocsta:
Done, I am still stuck at the same point. I really want to do this without rooting the phone since I technically don't need root for anything at this point. I never had issues with the S3 or the G2 like this.

This was what was in the Odin window and no error on the phone:

<ID:0/005> Added!!

[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Misterjunky:
re: ???

I don't want to hurt your feelings, but it looks like I am wasting my

time here with you, if you don't want root and or don't want to flash

custom roms then this entire thing which you are doing is not only

wasting my time but it's wasting your time too.

I'm done!!!

Good luck!

Have a great day,
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] DooLocsta:
Why this reply to my FIRST question then. You said I did not have to root to install TWRP and install the first file that still allows wifi calling. Were you mistaken?
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] DooLocsta:
After continually digging into this issue I think I found out what my issue is but still don't know how to get around it.

I am able to successfully flash TWRP through ODIN but when I initially boot into recovery my phone pops up with the Android guy showing it is installing an update which I believe means it is overwriting TWRP with the stock recovery. There is a note on the TWRP page that his can happen but I don't know of a way to prevent it.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Mangani001:
The easiest way to prevent this is to "root" your phone...LOL
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] DooLocsta:
I get that but the OP specifically states with the first file (That includes WiFi calling) you do not root which is what I am trying to achieve. I know it is possible but my phone just overwrites TWRP each time I load the recovery.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] gthing:
Like others I'm trying to get from COD6 to COG2 - there is conflicting information posted in this thread and people keep posting unclear bits and pieces.

So to be clear - the get from COD6 to COG2 I need to flash this file from this thread, right? This is the ROM file N910TUVU1COG2_N910TTMB1COG2_TMB.zip

This file is 1.8GB. That seems way bigger than a baseband should be, right? To me that seems like an entire rom (which is what it is listed as). Is there a way to flash just the COG2 baseband or am I not understanding something?
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Misterjunky:
re: COG2

You are correct, that is the right file to ODIN flash, you need to UNZIP the file so you can ODIN flash it.

You CANNOT flash it using TWRP.

Yes it is the full COG2 firmware, and it's always best to odin flash the full firmware.

(at least it's always been best for me)

Be sure to make a nandroid backup before flashing anything and

make sure to do a full wipe before you odin flash the COG2 firmware.

Good luck,

Have a great day!
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] fafaffy:
Forgive me if this was already answered, but with file #2, is it possible to get fingerprint, secure storage, and Wi-Fi calling to work? If not, do I have to wait for a De-odex'ed version or simply until somebody creates a patch?

Thanks
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] murayoshi:
I remember it happens 2me b4. what I did I ODIN TWRP and I didn't reboot, took out the battery insted put it back hold volume up power button and home to boot to TWRP then flash Chainfire's CF-AutoRoot
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] iDreamless531:
OK so I tried rooting stock DOG1 via CF autoroot with no luck, as expected tho but my phone came like this as a factory replacement.... but my problem lies with Odin v3.09 it fails every time I can't even downgrade back to COG2 or any firmware, everything just keeps failing (SM-N910T3)
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Misterjunky:
re: downgrade

The odin version has nothing to do with your issue.

If you have a N910T3 phone then that's the issue.

You cannot downgrade DOG2 or DOFC firmware to COG2, COD6 or ANK4.

Also there is no cf-autoroot which is compatible with DOG2 or DOFC yet.

Good luck,

Have a great day!

[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] MattC867:
This is great, thanks OP!

I know this is frowned upon as bad practice, but coming from stock unrooted OG2 I was able to get this working just fine without wiping /data. Everything seems fine and stable -- almost as easy as an OTA!

Planning to apply the gift edition later tonight then deodex and install xposed.

Just wanted to add my +1 for working flawlessly on my 910t. No bugs plus finally on 5.1.1 makes it worth sacrificing WiFi calling.

I also am having the Play Movies issue. Has anyone found a solution? I've searched and not seen it. I'm on the rooted, custom kernel ROM, COG2 baseband and bootloader, DOG1 PDA (obviously).
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Dwnhiller:
I solved my problem, bought a note 5. Lol but seriously never did find a solution, sorry. Good luck!
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] HoosierFDaddy:
I actually noticed I'm having the exact same problem on my SGS3. I even tried downloading the files and it does the same thing whether playing in the Play Movies app or MX player. Maybe supposing it's a DRM thing. Frustrating because I wanted to buy Rick and Morty seasons 1 & 2 and don't want to have to go DVD or have movies scattered all across the sky in different clouds. Even though I stripped the S3 back to basics, I believe it is on a custom ROM with a custom kernel. Maybe I'll go back to pure stock on it and see it that works. I'll let you know if I ever get around to it.

Nandroid

Sorry if I'm in the wrong tread, but my question is that I'm currently on COD6 baseband, I'm planning on Odin the COG2 to run the latest TekHD ROM for the note 4 910TT, long story short if after I updated my baseband and decided to go back to my original backup do I have to Odin back the COD6 again?

[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] baldusiek:
Hello, Is there anyway to put the COG2 baseband on the N910T3 through odin?

I have both the N910T & N910T3 and have the TEKXD TEKXodus_N4_5.1.1_URv3.2_N5R2_T_TEKHD+ on the N910T

& TEKXodus_N4_5.1.1_URv3.2_N5R2_T3_TEKHD+ on the N910T3 but the N910T has the COG2 baseband and it had the ANK4 before I flashed the ROM.

The N910T3 has the DOG1 and didn't go to COG2.

I'm asking this because there is a significant 10-15 second boot/restart/shutdown delay on the N910T3 vs the N910T..

Is the baseband what is causing this? I have TWRP 2.8.7.0 on both and it's basically the same ROM for both.

I also noticed slight color changes (more bright or more dark) on any type of screen whether it's TWRP or android menu or settings etc. Is this revision worse than it's predecessor or what is causing this slowness?

Thank you

I'm confused with this new 910T/910T3 nandroid backups. So we run these and it turns the software of our 910T into 910T3? And the DOG1 firmware? What's the advantage of this over running the tekxodus v3.3 with 5.1.1 and COG2? This new 3.3 is just so awesome.

So i installed it. It works so far it seems. I came over from COD6 5.0.1. I used Odin to put Cog6 on it first then used the 2nd backup nandroid that has root. When I boot, on the top it says "kernel is not seandroid enforcing" before it boots normally, is that because it's not a stock kernel?

N910T3 root i hope this thread is still active

Hello

I hope this thread is still active!

I am new at this N910T3 and I am so confused!!!! I got a new T-Mobile N910T3 5.1.1 baseband N910T3UVU1DOG1

BUILD # LMY47X.N910T3UVU1DOG1

TEKHD has as it looks that he has two ways to root this phone

in the beginning of this thread it looks like a easier and faster way if you are not me!! first he has this

ATTENTION!!! - *****READ***** ***YOU MUST BE ON COG2 BASEBAND FOR A FLAWLESS EXPERIENCE***

???COG2 baseband??

I have not done nothing to this phone yet

I have downloaded odin, twrp, beast kernel, superSU I also got cf autoroot

and honestly I am afraid at this point! from all the post that things have gone wrong in rooting this phone!!

so I take it in this thread the steps are to find #1 COG2 baseband and then?? odin flash it??

then # 2 odin flash twrp??

then download this file FILE #2 -> TEKXvirgin_N4_URv0_Gift_Edition.rar This file is a TWRP nandroid from LATEST ODEX N910T3UVU1DOG1 (N910T3) ok nandroid???

copy inside your INTERNAL SD Example: TWRP/BACKUPS/701bda88/TEKXvirgin_N4_URv0_Gift_Edition

I take it that when you odin install twrp this folder will be created?? So then when twrp is installed I can still use this phone?? start it up then use a usb cable to transfer this file TEKXvirgin_N4_URv0_Gift_Edition.rar to twrp were ever it is??

HOW TO INSTALL? -> Wipe System/Data/Cache/Dalvik x3 -> Restore Nandroid (Both Boot & System Partitions

I take it at this point boot into recovery and use the restore button to install TEKXvirgin_N4_URv0_Gift_Edition.rar ???

then reboot and all done???

could someone PLEASE give a step by step that is not so confusing PLEASE

Bill

I cannot believe how much improved 5.1.1 is. Animation are very nice, its quick and smooth at the same time. Recent button is instant, changed animations to 0.5 and this thing flies. Its been about 2 hours sot time installing and testing and battery has dropped only 22%. Keyboard i don't know what they did but for some reason feels different and better than what it was while typing 5.1.1 is definitely much improved it almost feels like iphone smooth to me.
