Well, you wiped and then flashed without cache.img. So naturally your firmware doesn't have a CSC at the moment since you skipped its installation. But as you noticed, that's not a problem.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] henklbr:
[MENTION=5054150]GidiK[/MENTION] Have you flashed to 5.1.1 with the TAR provided by the OP?

No, I'm hoping PHN update will arrive soon. Anyway, I prefer to make my own tar using a relevant cache.img; but I still have to check which combinations are feasible, unless Samsung beats me to it...

Thank you!
[Galaxy Note 4 General] TML1504:
for all of you having CSC problems (no CSC after flashing my file, which can cause spen and or keyboard not working properly):

download the latest official odin firmware for your CSC (best use samsung firmware download tool here from XDA),

then extract only hidden.img.ext4 and cache.img.ext4 from the tar, then create a tar with cygwin consisting only of this two files.

after flashing in ODIN (as AP) you will have your original CSC back!

here is a tar i created for the latest open german rom available (BOC3):

https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B0UrwVKY4D5jX1dCVlgwWHlFd3M/view?usp=sharing

see 1st post for other CSCs available, or build yourself and share! :)

i tried it and it would work (see screenshot attached)

Have just installed the Update with provided german CSC files. Everything worked as described. Thank you very much. Will report back if any problems occur.

[Galaxy Note 4 General] henklbr:
That's because you UN-RARed the TAR-file!

When you download the file in OP, you'll get a RAR-file with the TAR-file inside.

UN-RAR the RAR-file and place the TAR-file to your ODIN-folder

Open Odin, place TAR in AP, flash!

[Galaxy Note 4 General] mitko76:
Hi, did you flash the main firmware before flashing my file?

All I did is following the TML1504's instructions i.e.

1. Created and flashed the tar file for the main 5.1.1 firmware (without the hidden.img and cache.img)

2. Downloaded the latest 5.0.2 firmware for BTU and created a tar file with just hidden.img and cache.img. (this is the file in my post)

The second point is just to fix the missing csc (i.e. handwriting and action memo)

I need a little help here please....

My phone was originally the UK BTU when I bought it. I flashed the German version of Lollipop when that came out. Yesterday I Flashed the Italy version of 5.1.1. Which CSC do I flash exactly because I tried the BTU UK one and it didn't work... When I press *#1234# Only a AP and CP number shows and the Action memo S-pen feature still doesn't work so for some reason that didn't work.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] TML1504:
no problem, questions are always welcome... :)

1) download the rom tar and the csc tar from 1st post, extract the rom tar file because it is RAR, but leave the *.tar intact

2) boot into download mode (power off, hold power, middle button and vol-down, confirm with volume-up when asked)

3) download odin 3.10 (any other version will do as well) and open it

4) enter rom tar into AP and flash

5) reenter download mode

6) restart odin and put CSC tar into AP and flash

this should be all - a data wipe is usually not necessary!

if the german lollipop rom was running fine try to use the DBT CSC, this should be the one you were on before!

[Galaxy Note 4 General] patensas:
If you want to get rid of the "3" boot an shutdown animation you need to replace the items in system / media.

Just grab the files from a previous rom and replace them on your device using something like root explorer.

Edit: i've attached the roiginal Samsung animations in a zip file. Upzip and replace them on your device to get stock animations on boot and shutdown ;)

What else is new? Did you even bother to read so you would know this before using autoroot?

Indeed it doesn`t work, you need latest TWRP and use the option to apply root and the custom

AEL kernel to gain root on 5.1.1

Also there`s an AEL rom available which provides root out of the box.

or i can repack 5.1.1 with hidden file from 5.0.1 ?
[Galaxy Note 4 General] pacc:
When you delete hidden.img and cache.img files from the rom, you are making the whole rom unstable as the system files are tied with hidden and cache files, you may even loose your imei.

I believe this tutorial is incorrect, as you should repackage the whole rom with the extracted hidden.img and cache.img files from your country code (for better integration it should be from the latest lollipop rom).

I've been doing this for years, and never had one problem.

[MENTION=1086298]pacc[/MENTION] & MMarkkk:

I know that you mean, but I do not think that that procedure can kill your IMEI.

I do this also a long time (and also for some friends of me on different android devices) and never ever had a problem with this. In most cases the CSC is not necessary, only if some rom region functions are dependent on it you will need it. for example: for using the gear vr i had to change my CSC from austria to germany. otherwise the gear vr would not work, thx to sammy!

i would recommend though to flash the proper CSC after the rom flash, to avoid such problems! although i think seperate files are better, because otherwise we will end up with 10 files each 1,9G, so only one big file and a lot of smaller files depending on CSC...

This method WILL work for Verderey as well, he would just need to download the proper N910C rom files (latest lollipop) and create a file with the desired MAT CSC files!

[Galaxy Note 4 General] Mr8guy:

I cant root the device...any ideas?
[Galaxy Note 4 General] TML1504:
yes, this is that you can flash different CSC roms without having problems in odin. so you do not need a pit!

yes, would be no problem!

custom roms do not have these files inside most times, they have to be flashed with a custom recovery, which is a different thing as flashing with odin. odin flashes whole partitions!!

so if you want to flash BTU CSC over a custom rom, you need the BTU CSC files (hidden and cache) and create a tar, then flash this tar with odin! to obtain these files just download the latest stock rom for BTU, and ectract the files from there!

at the moment you will need a permissive kernel for root. try AEL kernel for note 4 5.1.1 (google for it, actual version is 4.2). then you can root wirth TWRP without any problems.

for me, i always tried to stay on stock kernels (and root them), because only stock was most stable and battery friendly for my experience. but this time, i think that AEL is at least as good as stock, no hickups, and no battery drain...

Same problem...

I recently bought a galaxy edge, so I decided to mess around a bit with my old Galaxy S3 and maybe turn it into just an MP3 player (I like being able to switch sd cards and stuff). But I am at the same point now where there it says Unknown for baseband, IMEI and there is no volume of any type. Like not even that little beep when I press the volume up and down buttons. I also tried a piano app just to make sure, and still no volume. This is just frustrating to me because I've spent like 25 hours trying to figure out what to do. This is actually my first post asking for help because usually i've been able to figure this stuff out. Sound is the only thing i want from this phone now and its not working anymore. I have a feeling its something that I messed up with the EFS folder, but I don't really know what that folder is supposed to be for, I've just read a lot about how important it is. I hope someone has an idea of how to fix this.
