OBAR On My N910P With Emotion
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] tx_dbs_tx:
MD5 is good

[MENTION=1725911]LMMT[/MENTION] I downloaded this from sammobile last night and I have the same MD5 so I would say this is a confirmation. thanks for the reup. :good:
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] LMMT:
My md5s match, between my Sammobile download, and my AFH upload, so we should be good to go. I haven't downloaded and installed, from AFH, though.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] tx_dbs_tx:
It's good to go bro. We both downloaded the tar from sammobile and got the same MD5 and since it matches when you re-upload it to AFH it's perfectly intact. Now to see if i feel like updating my rom. freeza swears OJ6 is a great update so i trust him when he says that.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] kaos420:
Main thing i noticed ia it freezes leas when low memory.where before my phone freeze almost unusable.

[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] whatsnus:
Once I restore my phone with this tar, what method should I use to root?
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] samep:
Install custom recovery. Either flash a rooted OJ6 ROM or for rooted stock, flash custom kernel and SuperSU zip.

For rooted stock, you need to get rid of Knox and ItsOn.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] xyojimbox:
Could someone please make a file for the baseband that can be flashed with flashify? Thank you in advance!
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] tx_dbs_tx:
I can do that but the best method to get updated if you plan on running OJ6 software is to odin the stock OJ6 rom tar. It will update all of your partitions including the modem and apn patch. I am currently uploading two stock rooted OJ6 roms and they include the OJ6 modem. If your're running an AOSP/CM based rom and simply want to update your modem then i guess a stand alone flashable modem would be what you would need. If you still need the flashable modem pm me later tonight and i will whip it up for you.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] xyojimbox:
Thanx tx! I just dont have access to a comp at least for a while so wanted at least ghe modem. Thanx a ton

[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] Gevo247:
No odin, i downloaded the tar on my labtop but it fails i used odin 10.7
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] tx_dbs_tx:
Do not unzip the tar package and it will work fine. Also check the md5 once it downloads.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] Bkind:
I'm getting bootloops after flashing via odin. MD5 matched. the only thing that I could think of is I didn't uncheck the auto reboot box and what not. Could that be the cause of the boot loops???? Thanks for your help!
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] samep:
Did you wipe with reactivation lock enabled or what did you wipe before Odin? What custom ROM and mods like Xposed were you running before Odin?

Have your tried factory reset in recovery and boot again?
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] Bkind:
I got it worked out. I was on sacs note 5 port before. It was still boot looping so I went ahead and flashed twrp and flashed tx stock oj6 rom. Checked and I have all oj6 everything. I was sweating it there for a min! Thanks for your reply man. There was something strange going on but got it worked out.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] samep:
Great. That eliminates reactivation lock being enabled. Must have been a wipe.

OJ6 is impressive so far. I'm running rooted stock Odex with Wanam Xposed framework. It's more compatible with subscribed services like Netflix and Google Play than the OB7 bootloader, OG5 ROM with OJ6 modem setup was; LOL.

[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] lbcoach3347:
Had the same issue, then remembered that if i go to stock recovery and factory reset it booted.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] Thisisrdn101:
I recently odin'd this tar to update my baseband. I noticed my sprint spark would be normal and speeds were optimal. Then 5 minutes of using chrome, I would noticed my data would go into 3g and not come back into lte. I would disable and enable airplane mode to get lte but minutes later right back into 3g. Mind you, before pk1 , I was ph4 and everything was good with no data issues. I reverted back to ph4 and the drop to 3g still persists now in a exact area where I would average 40mbps since I had the phone. I tried editing the bands on engineer mode but that seems to be locked. I did noticed the prl updated throughout all this and wondered if that has something to do with it? I tried messing with preferred network modes and nothing works. Right now, I'm on automatic with the access point names checked on APN2 LTE internet which is greyed out meaning I cant tick another access point and the prl is at 55058, I tried everything I know of and nothing seems to work. I also forgot to mention weeks ago, I did flash a wrong kernel(n915p) which through my screen touches way off. Thankfully, I didn't burn the digitalizer and managed to go into the dialer and press *#2663# to restore/update the screen and pen firmware and everything was good.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] G U C C I:
It's probably an issue with the towers. There could have been maintenance going on or a heavy load on them at the time which would revert you to 3g.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] PPC6850RR:
One step forward two steps backward arhh!

Managed to put phone into download mode, booted from sdcard + downloaded Marshmallow PK1

BUT still having issue with malfunctioning USB device "Unknown USB Device (Device Descriptor Request Failed)

I have installed Google & Samsung & Qualcomm drivers to no effect!

How do I fix it?
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] spotopolis:
FYI PK1

PK1 has been the longest update that I have had to wait on. I flashed it twice and then redownloaded and flashed again because it thought it was a bad flash. It reboots 2-3 times and took about 30 minutes before my phone was at the first run setup screen. Just an FYI for anyone out there that thinks they are having problems.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] nimaim:
This! Remember to do this or else you might be waiting forever on the Sprint logo screen during boot up. So Odin it, uncheck auto reboot in Odin options, when it's done with the flash, pull out battery, volume up + power + home button to get to recovery, clear data/factory reset and reboot it from there. You should be up in no time. I odin'd this and then let it update me to PL1.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] lbcoach3347:
Ok, i am at a loss, I cant get twrp on. can you let me know what you did.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] Philosophy757:
I was able to get into stock recovery with up+power+home after pulling the battery. Haven't tried to install twrp yet but it booted way faster now after that. Aannnndd it just restarted. ****
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] lbcoach3347:
I had to use cf auto root on the pl1 then i could odin twrp and get into it to restore my backup
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] samep:
Stock recovery can restore itself if you don't boot right into TWRP after flashing it.

You can do this by unchecking the auto reboot (only) in Odin options. Once you're the flash is done with success. Remove USB and battery, wait at least 30 seconds and reinstall battery but you must boot directly on recovery or you have to start over.

Use the img.tar version of TWRP loaded in AP slot.

Edit: I see you got it afterall.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] Philosophy757:
And now we wait for Emotion. May just flash the VZW version with Aroma now that I have these stock updates sorted
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] lbcoach3347:
I did thank you for the heads up though
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] Philosophy757:
I couldn't get the aroma installer to work but was on an old bootloader as well as old version of twrp. Bout to make a quick stock backup and try it again.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] doubledragon5:
Thanks for this update.. I just flashed the full restore to my rooted Lollipop stock rom.. I figured it was the easiest way to get MM.. Funny it never wiped any of my data or contacts, or even my blue tooth deivce. Hell I never even had to run the set up wizard again. LOL.. Then I went ahead and installed twrp again..
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] aaron74:
I've been on pk1 for a couple weeks now. I use gsm service. I don't know if it's just me or what. But it seems like my data and wifi is laggy and slow. Is this possible?

I was previously on ph4, I'm thinking of just going to PJ1 and see if any difference, plus i see new emotion rom is also pj firm.

Anyone have any thoughts or input on this matter?

Thanks!
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] rubinelezi:
no service

hi I flashed my note 4 sm-n910p with this from sam mobile using odin successfully but my phone shows no service any one here to help me please
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] G U C C I:
Waitttt is PK1 no longer the newest one? I saw someone reference PL1 but I'm out of the loop as far as updates are concerned.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] bigbabo:
+1 on that whats the latest build
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] jglm4u:
PL1 is the New & Last update...

Is the pl1 link available yet cause i couldnt find it on sammobile and another thing if anyone updated yet can you share any findings about it flaws improvements etc thanks
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] aaron74:
It usually takes a month, to get the odin file. Should be posting to one of the sites soon.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] bigbabo:
I took ota from pk1 to pl1 seems stable as far as data goes i dot wanna jinx it but i havent had any data loss like i had before on all other builds of mm so lets hope its fixed and battery seems better
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] aaron74:
Thanks, I've never had any issues in past(ph4) until I went to PK1. Now my data and wifi seem laggy. Might goto pj1 or wait for pl1 tar.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] bigbabo:
When i took ota does that store the tar somewhere maybe i can pull it for you guys or something
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] aaron74:
No, there's no tar. But it downloads an update.zip file (or something like that). Some people do extract that file and make a tar. But no i don't need it. I'm already stock. I could just re odin and take ota. Im not worried about it. No time. But i do think this pk1 did affect my data.

Is network and stuff seem good and strong with pl1?

Thanks
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] bigbabo:
So far yes but than again it was fine on pk1 at first than it started to cut off at times so im still testing it
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] Mohannad_Almasharqa:
upgrading from ok1 and custom kernel

i'm on ok1 lollipop and custom kernel after downgrading to 4.4.4, flashing pk1 will restore the stock kernel correct ?

and i don't need to flash anything else like baseband or something like that ?

-i'm not sure , i think a couple of months ago i had to do flash baseband or something like that to flash the stock rom -
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] samep:
Correct. Stock tar is full restore and you don't need to flash anything with it to update.

You might want to backup what you don't want to lose just in case.

A factory reset will make the initial boot quicker but that's not something you have to do. Either way, I'd suggest a fan to limit thermal buildup from the ROM initializing and optimizing apps on initial boot.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] mohamie:
I tried this twice but my phone still says it's on 6.0.1. Any ideas?
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] jhill110:
Well, that's because PK1 is 6.0.1.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] mohamie:
I flashed OK1 but now I'm in a bootloop. Hmm I must of done something wrong.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] samep:
If coming from Marshmallow to OK1, backup of keepsakes, factory reset and wiping internal memory is suggested before flashing the OK1 stock tar.

You could also delete the Android folder on your extSdCard. But power down and pull battery and discharge the power circuit by pressing the power button for several seconds. Then boot to download mode to Odin stock tar with Odin defaults.

I believe your problem is application optimization. I don't think lollipop backward optimization is possible. Whereas optimization from lollipop to marshmallow is accommodated for but would take a while depending on number of applications to optimize. Starting over cleanly makes the transition quicker too. Phone should auto boot rather quickly after a brief stop in stock recovery.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] ssamboy:
If I am current on all of the updates, can I still root without risking a brick? Should I follow the steps in the OP? I haven't rooted a phone since my old HTC EVO 4g LTE. I just want the Hotspot hack which I believe requires root now. Thanks in advance!
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] samep:
You can root the latest but OP does not contain root instructions.

So ask yourself whether you plan to root what you have or flash a custom ROM. The OP would help you get to the right update installing a custom if needing to downgrade. Then you would follow the OP of custom ROM you wish to install.

If you upgraded past OB7, do not use Odin to downgrade any less than OG5 stock tar with Odin. Bootloader downgrade is prohibited and not recommended to try with Odin, particularly with full stock tar. For simplicity, Android 5.1 or Marshmallow are reachable with Odin; custom ROMs usually recommend a particular update to be on in OP. It's harder to get to custom ROMs below that but not possible with Odin of stock tar.

If rooting your current stock is the goal, here's a post by the OP that contains simple steps to root stock. I'd suggest a backup as soon as you get TWRP installed and another backup once rooted. Once fully customized, consider another backup but at least keep the stock backup and one current rooted backup; both should pertain to current update that you're on.

https://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=67644319

Keep in mind, you most likely cannot take OTA updates once modified. You may need Odin to update but as you can see, updates are behind OTA releases.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] ssamboy:
Would there be an issue running "5.0 STOCK_DEODEXED_N900PVPUEOC5" if I am stock with all OTA updates current? I really just want mobile hotspot enabled, and if I am not going to be able to do that, then I probably won't bother rooting. Thanks for the help
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] samep:
Hotspot mod is a common feature in custom ROMs. You don't need you go back to Android 5.0 for that feature.

Also, what is your phone model? This is a SM-N910P forum. It's not for Note 3.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] ssamboy:
Sorry, I copied and pasted that Rom from another thread which must have been a Note 3 rom. I am using a Note 4 with software verson N910PVPS4DQA1 and hardware version N910P.05 with security patch level January 1, 2017.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] samep:
OK. Lots of choices. There's only a few marshmallow ROMs because developer focus may have made porting Samsung theme store to Note 4 or theming a higher priority. Just my opinion.

But we're also on an older device with less developers and updates focus more on security than OS updates and features.

Themes help to break the boredom of same UI appearance but ported ROMs require more thorough reading and we don't really have one that's a flash and setup that doesn't require some additional fixes. I'm running the Note7 port which is a work in progress with no promised ETA for a cleaner flash.

There's also a lollipop Note 5 port that some still run.

A stock ROM with basic root and hotspot may be what you're looking for but they're older ROMs.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] moa4:
I know how it can get when i havent rooted a phone in awhile. My steps are odin TWRP and then added the Su zip and flashed that with TWRP on the phone and that gave me a rooted stock phone....HTC EVO 4g was when i started too
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] ssamboy:
Thanks for all the info. Theoretically, now that I have TWRP installed, would I be able to flash anything in the OP via twrp? The earliest that I am seeing is OJ6 in the OP which I believe was confirmed to have the native Hotspot working without root.

Also, I rooted temporarily earlier, but my son couldn't get Pokemon Go to authenticate so I had to unroot. When I unrooted, I saw something that made me think that I hadn't tripped Knox. Is that even possible? I was kind of shocked at how easy it was to root and unroot once I figured out how to get TWRP on there. (I never even lost any programs or data or anything)

Basically at this point, I am thinking it would be great to go back to the latest Stock without root where the native hotspot edit apn trick still works seeing as my phone gets lent out to my boys routinely. Can anyone confirm that I would need to go all the way back to OJ6 to do this? Can I even go back to previous stock versions without root? is this even possible? Why does this seem so much easier than I was anticipating? Thanks for all the help!
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] samep:
I don't believe it's possible to reverse Knox trip. IIRC, the Knox tripped status shows in Odin download mode on phone display as 0x1. But there's a few apps out there that show Knox status too. Simply flashing TWRP will trip Knox.

The OP files are zipped tar.md5 files for Odin (not for TWRP recovery flashing). Flashing those in Odin would un-root your phone. Follow the OP for that.

OK1 stock tar is the last lollipop update. I think that is the most recent update that the non root hotspot worked. I believe that requires a redo of the mod whenever updating PRL or it gets pushed. Updating data profile may even undo that mod. You'll need your MSL too.

If you go back to Lollipop or older update, you should disable auto update in Settings->>System Update to avoid nags or pushed updates.

If you run into any problems with the downgrade, post here. Don't forget your backups.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] ssamboy:
Ok - I installed OK1, and everything with hotspot is working like a charm, but for some reason, now I am having trouble restoring from my backup that I made with TWRP prior to downgrading to OK1. It just gets stuck at the sprint screen when I try and restore back my stock MM. Ideally, I'd like to switch back and forth from OK1 to current stock using TWRP. Another minor gripe that I have is that even though I have unchecked software updates, I still have the software update notification showing up that an update is available to install. Other than these two minor issues, everything is working just like I had hoped. Any ideas why my phone will not restore my current stock backup? Thanks for all the help with this!
