[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] DreamingWolf:
In one of the development threads a request was made for a step-by-step for transitioning to a 5.1.1 ROM from an earlier version and an example was given from another device. Well I modified the example to make it apply to the Sprint Note 4.

All files needed are linked at the end of this post. This is my first attempt at a guide, so any suggestions for improvement will be gladly accepted.

Prerequisites:

1 - Latest Samsung-USB-Drivers (1.5.55.0) installed

2 - Odin v3.10.6 installed

3 - Two files either on an extsdcard in the phone or on your PC for sideloading through adb:

UBERWIPE.zip (Only for use if you have an extsdcard), BETA-SuperSU-v2.49.zip

**** - If you do not have an extsdcard you will need adb installed on your PC in order to get the SuperSU

file onto your phone for flashing.

Loading Stock OG5:

1 – Run Odin v3.10.6 as administrator

2 – Load the appropriate tar in the AP slot

--If you are on OB7 Bootloader and wish to keep it load Hybrid_OB7sbl_SPT_N910PVPU4COG5.tar

--For complete OG5 upgrade load N910PVPU4COG5_N910PSPT4COG5_N910PVPU4COG5.tar.md5

3 – Click on the ‘Options’ tab avove the Log window

4 – Uncheck the reboot option in Odin.

5 - Click on the ‘Log’ tab above the Log window

6 – Phone off. Enter download mode by holding down Vol Down, Home and Power to first screen presence

7 – Enter download mode by moving cursor – Vol Up.

8 – Plug phone into PC. Drivers are already installed so look for Connection in Odin.

9 – Start Odin on good battery charge. Don’t touch phone until complete, 5-10min.

10 – Close Odin, disconnect cable from phone, turn phone off and remove battery.

Removing the battery is the only way to turn it off at this point. Not exactly true but that's all you need to know. It's the best way.

Rooting via TWRP touch recovery:

1 – Put battery back in and enter download mode as above.

2 – Run Odin as administrator and load twrp-2.8.7.0-trltespr.img.tar in the AP slot

3 – Click on the ‘Options’ tab avove the Log window

4 – Uncheck the reboot option in Odin.

5 - Click on the ‘Log’ tab above the Log window

6 – Plug in phone to PC and watch for Odin to establish connection

7 – Start Odin. It will be quick.

8 – When done close Odin. Unplug phone, Power Down and remove battery.

9 – Replace battery and enter Recovery Mode by holding Vol Up, Home and Power to first screen presence

10 – Let TWRP load

11 – If you don’t have an extsdcard then navigate to Advanced > ADB Sideload and use adb to transfer BETA-SuperSU-v2.49.zip from your PC to your phone

12 – Navigate back to the main screen the to Install and choose the location of the SuperSU file

13 – After flashing BETA-SuperSU-v2.49.zip choose Wipe Dalvik/Cache option.

14 - When wipe is completed you have two choices:

--Choose reboot in which case you will have a rooted stock system

--Wipe the current system and install a custom ROM (see below)

If you choose to flash a custom ROM:

1 - Wipe the current system

--If you have and extsdcard with UBERWIPE.zip on it all you need to do is install that zip and when the

recovery automatically reboots your phone will be clean and ready for a new ROM

--If you don’t have an extsdcard I recommend the following:

A - Navigate to the Wipe submenu

B - Perfom a factory reset 3 times

C - Choose format data, type yes on the following screen then enter. Do this 3 times

D - Navigate back to the Wipe submenu and choose Advanced. Then choose everything except extsdcard

and execute. Do this 3 times.

(At this point if you don’t have an extsdcard you will need to navigate Advanced > ADB Sideload and tansfer the ROM of your choice from your PC to your phone)

2 - Navigate to Install and choose the location of your ROM file

3 - When the flash has completed choose the Wipe Dalvik/Cache button

(At this point I always flash the Beta-SuperSU file and wipe Dalvik/cache again, but I’m just OCD)

4 - Reboot the phone and LET IT SIT AT LEAST 15 MINUTES before you touch it to set anything up!!!

Here is a list of the files and executables you'll be working with: (Links either lead to thread of the file on XDA or direct download from my person Google Drive account)
