Just odin back to 5.1.1 or flash Moar 5.1.1... You can google stock sprint galaxy note 4 firmware...
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] joshka89:
Hey you should edit this post to update that the latest is now 3.11.1 just for those who may not notice
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] joshka89:
Just finished using odin 3.11.1 to flash this over AOSP ROM.

It works perfectly, no issues.

!!!!!!!!!!NOTE!!!!!!!!!!!

YOU MUST USE ODIN 3.11.1 WITH PE1
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] robinhood1808:
Go ahead with the flashing process. The phone won't relock if it has been unlocked properly.

However, if it does, you can use Galaxy Tools to unlock it again for using a GSM SIM.

FYI: I'm also using a GSM SIM with N910P & I flashed successfully PD1 ROM (Not the latest E1) and the phone did not relock. :good:

---------- Post added at 01:05 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:58 PM ----------

If you guys are using a GSM SIM, then root the phone & use Galaxy tools to select "GSM/WCDMA" as the preferred network.

I don't think that the code *#*#4636#*#* will work on Stock ROMs.

If you find any problem in using Stock ROM, then head over to my thread to flash a new ROM where your phone will have network 99.9%..

[MENTION=349802]bold[/MENTION]: The fingerprint works with small workarounds on the latest M5 update (Link is there in my thread).

[MENTION=1898087]Underline[/MENTION]d: 4G will not work as I can see that you live in Pakistan (Correct me if I'm wrong). The phone that we are using is meant to support only the US 4G bands. So, it's natural that the phone will not show 4G connectivity.

(In stock ROM, it might show 4G because of the framework of that particular region.. You will be on 3G but the phone will show 4G..Do check it out yourself to verify what I'm stating here).

[MENTION=234560]RED[/MENTION]: Galaxy Tool is a paid app now. I don't have it. Kindly use the paid version, but before that first flash the new ROM to see if the phone remains unlocked or not..(

Just finished flashing PE1 over my daily driver PD1, no issues at all. The whole update took about 66 minutes and everything returned exactly as it was before, all apps & data, wallpaper, fonts , ringtones , contacts, texting threads including Samsung's new Good Lock .apk. Also re-flashed TWRP & Chainfire SU 2.74 and all is well with the world. Thanks a bunch!!

How long did it take for your phone to boot back up........ I have Odin PE1 and have been waiting about 30 minutes so far. And the phone gets very hot had to put it in a freezer bag and placed it the freezer, really.......Lol

[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] tommacco:
Does anybody have the previous stock firmware (NOT Marshmallow)? It seems the marshmallow updates are destroying a lot of Galaxy phones, mine is one of them, and full resets along with re-flashing this/the latest update has not been successful at mitigating the symptoms.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] random45:
I reuploaded the OF5 tar.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] maltydog:
I had been running the Cyanogenmod Marshmallow, but as that is no longer updating, I decided to install the PD1 here, and I had planned to install the rooted PD1 afterwards, but I am stuck on the Sprint screen after what appeared to be an error free Odin install of the Tar file (at least Odin said it worked).

At this point, I just want to get my phone running again, I don't care if it's rooted or what. Can I use Kies at this point, or is there something else I should try?

---------- Post added at 10:58 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:06 PM ----------

I'm really not sure what is going on wrong here. I get a message in Odin that "all threads completed", but I still get stuck on starting up, the samsung screen loads fine, but then after the Sprint screen loads, nothing else happens. If I try to load the phone in recovery mode, it gets stuck on a No command, then it goes to a recovery screen that has several options, but I can't get the phone to load from there. Not sure what to do here.

---------- Post added at 11:39 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:58 PM ----------

One more addition: I downloaded thePE1 and the same thing happened, the phone stops at the Sprint Screen (it heats up quite a bit when on that screen, also). I tried running Kies 3 while the phone was in the Download mode and it did not recognize the phone (I just downloaded drivers for the phone again before I ran it), so I was not able to do anything with that program. So does anyone have any suggestions as to what I should do at this point?
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] piggynuts:
Same issue here. My phone is dead. Started with an upgrade to lollipop, coming up from COG5.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] maltydog:
I finally got past the Sprint screen: in recovery mode, I was able to do a system restore, and once I reinstalled the Tar file via Odin, I got past the Sprint screen. But now I am getting stuck when the phone starts up and asks if I want to let Google check device activity for security problems. The phone is not responding to my touch correctly, not sure why that is a problem, it was not before. Anyway, I cannot get past that screen. Sorry I have posted so many times, but it has been an upsetting night.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] piggynuts:
Me and you both. My phone won't detect in kies either at the downloading screen.

By the way you've tried flashing TWRP disabling reboot, then wiping, maybe reformat and repartition? If you can't install TWRP disable reboot then pull the battery.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] samep:
[MENTION=3962562]maltydog[/MENTION]

Coming from CM and flashing stock tar, did you wipe data? I'd recommend factory reset and try to boot. If not then factory reset and wipe internal memory and flash stock tar again. Maybe the Android folder in both micro sdcard and internal memory contribute to this boot loop too?

Your touchscreen not being accurate may be caused by flashing wrong recovery. Check the version of custom recovery and/or stock tar you flashed for correctness. Verify your md5 also. A common mistake made in this forum is flashing the Note Edge TWRP version instead of Note 4.

Once you're booted to stock, if you're still having touch problems, use your S-Pen to dial in dialer to enter *#2663# and tap TSP FW update (general) to update/restore proper touch. I've never had to do this so I'm not sure if you have to reboot afterwards or not.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] maltydog:
Yeah, when I was stuck, I hadn't wiped data or factory reset, once I did that, I got past the Sprint screen.

I actually have not installed the recovery yet, so that is not the issue. I assume the recovery I'm supposed to install is named

twrp-3.0.2-0-trltespr.img.tar, correct?

That worked, thanks, touch response seems to be good now. I will install the recovery and the [ROM] [Touchwiz-PC1,PD1] [100% Stock, Root, No KNOX, No Itson] rom later today.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] samep:
Yes. If you're using Odin to install TWRP, use the .img.tar version. Well, that is the method for rooting stock (Odin TWRP and rooted ROM in your case). Check your md5; it's available on this page too.

https://dl.twrp.me/trltespr/twrp-3.0.2-0-trltespr.img.tar

There are PE1 and PE2 ROMs as well. I'd recommend freeza's Note 4our ROM, especially if you're an Xposed framework and mod user. Less flashing and boots to get going. It also has some user friendly tweaks and edits to allow you use the storage with write permissions we were accustomed to in Lollipop. It allows you use /mnt/media_rw path to extSdCard if you need that to protect titanium backups within the app.

You can use the bootloader and baseband thread to update as an alternate method of getting on the latest MM ROM.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] DaggettBeaver:
My phone was randomly rebooting, and would occasionally go into a boot loop. I finally figured out that it was due to a battery going bad. It would drain a little faster than normal, but that was no big deal. I started to get a random reboot. And then when it hit about 60% or so, the boot loops would start, and I could only get it out of the boot loop by connecting the phone to a charger and restarting it.

Then the battery started to swell, which is a sure sign that the battery is dying.

I replaced the battery and it's all good now. No random reboots. No boot loops.

So just as an FYI, some of these problems people are having may have nothing to do with the ROM version.

[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] jam97:
Anyway to odin this update without wiping whole internal memory?

Thank you,
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] LMMT:
I believe it depends on what rom you're on, before flashing. In my experience, being close to stock, reduces the chance of it wiping your data. I was mostly stock rooted, and it didn't wipe mine. In the past, I've been far from stock, and heavily modified, and my data was wiped during the process.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] computerjunkie:
[MENTION=1725911]LMMT[/MENTION] any way you can point me to a PE2 root?
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] LMMT:
Download the SuperSU zip, and odin the latest TWRP,. Boot into TWRP, and flash SuperSU. You'll then be stock rooted. Or, Boot into TWRP, and flash the pre-rooted MM Touchwiz rom of your choice.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] jam97:

First off, thank you LMMT, Second If i am running This Stock PE2, rooted and everything. Can i flash this after wiping everything and restore my data on the new one?
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] LMMT:
If you're stock rooted PE2, you shouldn't need to wipe, just Odin the PG1 tar. I can't guarantee it, but it should not wipe, and should retain your data. Preliminary, it seems, with a little advice from freeza, you can remain PG1 stock, or stock rooted, and everything functions as it should. If you're on PG1, and flash a previous kernel (PE2 or prior), you'll lose bluetooth. I believe you can restore a TWRP backup, you made prior to updating to PG1, and have bluetooth working, with PG1 bootloader and baseband, but I haven't tried it, personally.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] HunterKiotori:
i think i'll just wait for the new Kernal that hopefully is in the works. but the only thing that puzzles me is if I odin this over will i loose all my xposed stuff and have to start over. especially with root.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] LMMT:
Yes, you'll lose xposed, and root. Kernel source hasn't been released yet, so no custom kernels for a while.

Ever since MM I have been having many issues.

Phone is slow to wake. I turned off all the doze stuff and still having an issue with a 3-5 second delay to wake.

Micro sd card will disappear and takes either a reboot or battery pull to fix it.

Losing wi Fi after a short while. Having wi Fi off prevents the issue. Turning wi Fi off and on fixes the problem for a while.

Overall seems a bit unstable. I just updated to pg1 with a full format of everything so I'm starting fresh and I still.have the above mentioned problems. With the note 4 now 2 years old I wonder if these issues will be fixed or if the phone is now dead.

need some help installing without losing userdata

Hi! So I apparently accidentally erased my os last night after flashing TWRP and SuperSU but my data still seems to be in the storage of the device. I was wondering how I can go about installing this rom without wiping all my user data. I've read a lil bit that i will need to enter commands through command prompt or adb.

Boot loop

So i used Odin and the N910PVPU4DPG1 ROM to flash a Note 4.

It's now stuck in a boot loop

It just shows the samsung screen and little blue letters in the top left come up saying "Recovery boot"

I've tried reflashing it with several roms but they either fail or have the same result.

Any ideas?
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] samep:
Check your downloaded zip for md5 match and extract tar.md5 (open archive and drag tar.md5 out to folder)? Are you flashing stock tars OG5 or greater? (Can't Odin stock tars for KitKat and avoid 5.0) Do you see your COM port get added in Odin UI when you connect your phone? Is Odin completing flash with success, 1 passed, 0 failed?

Did you wipe before you flashed stock tar? Have you had CM or any type of OS installed other than stock Marshmallow? If so, wipe everything but extSdCard. You can also delete the Android folder on extSdCard.

If you were stock Marshmallow prior to flash, you shouldn't be having issues if you didn't wipe. As a matter of preference, I'm usually heavily modified so I Odin these stock tars cleanly as full restore with factory reset and data reformat and wipe internal memory in TWRP and power down before I start.

I'd suggest at minimum factory reset in recovery, power off and flash the stock tar. Check your Odin log and phone display to make sure no error messages are being displayed.

Factory reset, wipe everything but extSdCard and format data if still having issues. But if you're seeing Odin log or phone displays issues, you should include that for any help requested.

Important to know: if you're getting message displayed on phone saying blocked by RL and you wiped system prior to flashing, you've activated the Factory Reset Protection by wiping with Reactivation Lock enabled in Settings/Security. If that happened, you need to Odin the same update that you had prior to wipe. Power down first, Odin flash the tar, let it auto boot and complete the setup wizard, logging in with same Google account and password.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] LMMT:
I agree with [MENTION=4375749]samep[/MENTION]. A factory reset will likely get you going again.

It's a brand new motherboard - never had ANY ROM on it it seems.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] EthanM054:
Is it possible to go from Marshmallow to KitKat using Odin?
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] samep:
Sorry, but not with Odin. Bootloader blocks Odin downgrading of bootloader. The rest is TL;DR/Use at own risk.

Your bootloader can be downgraded no lower than OG5 (Android 5.1) for inherent security reasons.

It's possible to run the Android 5.1 bootloader with Android 5.1 custom kernel with KitKat ROM. AFAIK, it's an unknown if you can run Marshmallow bootloader and custom ROM with KitKat ROM. Not sure if marshmallow baseband is compatible with KitKat either. You may have downgrade with full stock tar, like OK1 full tar.

I can't say how well this works- never tried it myself. But reportedly, once bootloader and kernel are flashed, it boots and has some or all functionality. No shortcomings that I'm aware of. Consider if willing to try at your own risk.

If interested, I'd recommend TWRP backup, clean install by factory reset, wiping everything but extSdCard, power down, Odin the OK1 bootloader or full OK1 tar, flash the KitKat ROM and finally flash the custom Android 5.1 kernel (like Beastmode, for example). The ROM should be custom and pre-rooted.

How to install

Hi,

I am currently on 6.01 MM based custom ROM with OK1 baseband file & bootloader. Could anyone please advise if I can flash this ROM on top of my custom ROM & will it work? Or do I have to also flash the bootloader & baseband file separately after flashing this file? Thank you!

I believe [MENTION=309990]freeza[/MENTION] can split them up. Don't take my word for it but I think he has in the past. As a matter of fact I think there's a thread somewhere on here he made with baseband and/or bootloader only.
