Ripped the BL/CP parts straight from the firmware.

Since I assume none of you want to exactly download a 1.84GB file for just a bootloader and modem upgrade (why would you go back to stock), here are the BL/CP parts!

-

[Update: 13-1-16: PIT file now available to recover from a bad brick]

[DO NOT USE UNLESS YOU NEED TO REPARTITION YOUR PARTITION TABLE, OR YOU'RE IN A BAD BRICK.]

https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24369303960684492

INSTALLING THESE FILES

1. Load phone in download mode. (Vol down+Home+Power)

2. Open ODIN3 on your computer. (Make sure the Samsung drivers are installed.)

3. Load the booloader file in BL.

3a. Load the modem file in CP.

4. Hit the start button, and let the files flash.

5. If there are no error messages in the log portion of ODIN3, then you have successfully flashed and upgraded to the 5.1.1 bootloader.

NOTE: At this time, you CANNOT downgrade from the 5.1.1 bootloader, so take caution.

Pretty cool... Can you please do the same for the T3 version?
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] GuestK00100:
Sure, when I get time at home. (That is, unless someone beats me.)
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] GuestK00100:
T3 isn't interchangeable with T firmware.

I'm gonna go on the limb here, I'm 50% certain you can't go back to COG2... Be very cautious... When I Odin'ed DOK2 the process seemed odd not sure why lol
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] manufan721:
Will say modem on DOK2 seems way more stable, I don't seem to have as many data drops, and me personally I could give two s**ts if I can go back to cog2..doesnt matter as you can still flash those roms, I'm on a DOK2 Bootloader and modem with a cog2 rom right now...by the way thanks for the bootloader and modem files man..lol..really didnt wanna go back to stock
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] GuestK00100:
Yeah, pretty much agree here. This new modem has given me a lot less data drops. I had really spotty HSPA, with it dropping so constantly. Tested it out during school today and it hasn't dropped.

-------

N910T3 BL+CP parts ripped! I also managed to acquire a PIT file for the T3...DO NOT LOAD THE PIT FILE INTO ODIN3! I HAVE IT IN CASE SOMEONE WHO HAS A SEVERE BRICK CAN USE IT!

Same instructions as before for flashing the BL+CP parts. Reference a few posts up.

If i flash new bootloader and modem will custom roms still work?
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Shawnifer:
Yes as long as you stay on the more recent version. Since the new BL and modem are from a 5.1.1 build, you want to stay on a 5.1.1 rom

[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] :
I don't think so. I know there was a method in which you could technically dd each partition but that's a bit risky, and I don't think it works.

[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] DeeXii:
Yes adds video calling.

So far fingerprint bug fixed. I have been using this for over 24 hours now and have not had the finger print bug happen once.

...and believe me I was the one that hated this issue the most. :P
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] ShrekOpher:
Make sure you have the correct Samsung drivers. If your phone is not being recognized it's normally the drivers or you cord.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] intheair86:
So I Odin the firmware here, and the bootlaoder, and modem? Confused.... not a n00b, yet confused on this process...
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] intheair86:
Which Odin do I need to use? Also, how do i flash the file? thank you.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] ShrekOpher:
You can do either the full ROM, or just the modem and bootloader.

If you want to check out the full stock ROM then flash the ROM.

If you want to stsy on the custom 5.1.1 ROM you are running already then just flash the bootloader and modem.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] ShrekOpher:
I used the newest Odin which I think is 3.10.

If you don't know how to used Odin look up a "how to" video on YouTube.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] intheair86:
So, I have windows 10... It recognizes the device... yet will not flash. The area where it says connected won't turn yellow like normal... help there as wel.

Also, I think I know the answer on this one. May I just flash the new firmware from Kies? Will this do anything other than lose root?
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] whipps:
Never used it, but look into Mobile Oden by Chainfire. That might work for you.

Are you putting the phone into download mode?

Do you have USB debugging checked in you developer settings?

I'm using Window10 as well and have had no issues.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] intheair86:
Yes, I figured out it is connected. When I flash I put it in download mode, USB debug is checked etc. I place it in the AP slot. Click flash, aND nothing. That is zipped and unzipped.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] ShrekOpher:
Make sure when you open ODIN you do it by right clicking on the icon an selecting run as administrator. Otherwise you may have issues.

Is there any way that I can ODIN the DOK2 BL, modem, and stock ROM without wiping internal?

If anyone here can point me to the right thread, I'd appreciate it.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] ShrekOpher:
Flash the last 2 files from the OP then flash TWRP. ALL IN ODIN.

then bit into TWRP on your phone and flash the brake linked ROM. It should get you what you are looking for.

Import the file to your mega first, then download it. Mega may be slowing down my downloads because it's been used SO much.

If you import it first, which takes seconds, then it should let you download it at full speed from your own account.

Bad download, on one of the files. It may be best to Odin flash the entire firmware then Odin flash TWRP, then restore or flash your ROM of choice.

I'm on CI04 with a Canadian note 4 and would also like to know this
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] nigafied45:
I have a similar problem it Bricked my note 4 via an over the air update sent by t-mobile. I did the update and the phone is in a constant bootloop I'm trying to preserve the internal memory it has recent funeral pictuses that can't be deleted. I flashed the modem and bootloader files and still get bootloop. What can be done without losing my internal memory? Some back story I've seen the Seandroid reinforcing before as well as warranty set kernel. It's frustrating an over air update screwed my phone up any clear concise help would be appreciated. I have Odin 3.07 and 3.10 any directions on getting my phone to be read by my pc for transfer would help I already have a replacement phone on the way thanks.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] ShrekOpher:
Can you get into recovery? TWRP? You can use the file browser in twrp to back up your pictures to a exsd card. You may also be able to use adb to send the pictures from your phone to a desktop. If you Odin flash the firmware it will delete your internal storage.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] nigafied45:
It won't go into recovery which root file should I use it have the older auto root file and the twrp file can you point me to those that are for 5.1.1 I'll try that as for getting into recovery I can't currently only thing I can get into without phone boot looping is download mode. When trying to go into recovery it will say Seandroid reinforcing or set warranty kernel
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] nigafied45:
This is what I see each time I flash the twrp and try to enter recovery I've flashed the newest bootloader and cp as instructed by another user nothing seems to get this phone out of its constant bootloop and I need those funeral pictures smh
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] nigafied45:
If you can't see the picture it says recovery is not Seandroid enforcing
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] ShrekOpher:
Yeah thats how it is supposed to look. Can you boot into TWRP? Try using the volume up + home + power boot up.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] nigafied45:
I know the buttons when I do them it goes into bootloop and shows that message does not go to twrp recovery
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] ShrekOpher:
If you cannot boot into recovery then the recovery didn't flash correctly in TWRP.

What was your process for Flashing TWRP? Did you use the newest version of ODIN? You might have a bad TWRP download. If the ODIN flash of TWRP took place then you should be able to boot into TWRP. I would try that again. with new downloads, and make sure you run ODIN as administrator in windows.

If you are still having issue let me know I can walk you through it on Hangouts if you need me to.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] nigafied45:
I'm using Odin 3.10 I used the root guide my files were the auto root by CF and the twrp 2.87 file they were flashed in the AP section of the program. I wasn't running the program via admin I forgot about that I'll try again using admin and also download the files again for the hell of it they flashed on my previous note 4 so I doubt they're corrupted I don't know exactly what's going on. Thanks for offering the hang outs if I do need that I'll let you know and if I've mentioned anything out of protocol let me know.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] ShrekOpher:
You were probably using old CF auto root info. Go to the below thread:

http://xdaforums.com/note-4-tmobile/general/dok2-5-1-1-setup-t3272388

Skip Flashing the Firmware just get the TWRP file. You do not need to CF auto Root. I am hoping running CF auto root did not wipe your internal storage. Just download the TWRP file and flash just TWRP via ODIN. Then let the phone reboot. It should reboot right into recovery and you should be able to get your files off.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] nigafied45:
Smh that's not good I was just following the original steps I had done in the past to my previous note that I rooted when it was android device manager locked unrelated to this issue separate phones. I hope the auto root didn't wipe it either if it did then im pretty much screwed

---------- Post added at 08:14 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:02 PM ----------

Phone is screwed basically I flashed the twrp again get a pass and it boots to note 4 splash screen and boot loops and again when I try to enter the recovery it doesn't go it just does Seandroid enforcing I'm done
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] yeroc1982:
And your sure you are hitting the right buttons correctly to get into twrp?
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] nigafied45:
Power volume center and up yes the over the air update essentially ruined my phone and flashing recovery isn't even working I get all pass on the flash but initiating the buttons only shows the message I showed you before it does not load into the twrp recovery screen which of course would allowe me to view the internal card and copy via pc or sd card
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] HTCOmega:
When you Odin-flash TWRP, uncheck Auto Reboot.

After you successfully flash it, unplug the phone, turn it off (pulling the battery is optional, but pretty sure I did it), then do the button combo to reboot into TWRP.

Something is wonky about Odin, TWRP, and the DOK2 build, but that fixed my issue that looked eerily similar to yours.

QUESTION:

Should I install just the rom, then his rom after (I am sure since new, my note 4 will ship with 4.4) so should I install the rom here (no bootloader or modem) and then install recovery and then flash his rom? Or do you suggest I install 3 - bootloader, rom and modem then do custom recovery and his rom ?

Sorry kinda a noob the last phone I did this with was Galaxy S4
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] ShrekOpher:
Check if the phone is a 910T or a 910T3 the are 2 TMO models.

Them check which baseband the ROM you want to flash is based on. You may not want to be a DOK2 firmware.

However most likely the phone will come on the firmware in this thread.

[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] ShrekOpher:
Only 2 reasons why this would happen.

1.) bad download

2.) bad Odin flash

Either way the best fix is to download the full firmware and flash it via Odin.

Or use TWRP to recover a previous backup.

Just curious what ROM were you on?

If Im rooted TWRP with rooted SU 4.x can I flash stock official 5.x or do I have to flash stock official 4.x then stock official 5.x ?

Im going to use heimdall instead of Odin
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] ShrekOpher:
You should be able to flash 5.1.1 straight away, but is never used heimdall.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Some_dude36:
Man , never goes smooth lol Ok so I ended up just flashing nk4 stock firmware . I OTA updated for 3 hours making my way through cod6 codg finally after a few hours of OTA ing I got to stock official 5.1.1

I then began the root. Flashed cf auto root .... no problem

Flashed TWRP no problem .

Then I tried to flash the ok2 rom suggested in root instructions and it failed . So I tried to install another 5.1.1 rooted rom and it failed.

Im stuck at TWRP 2 diff roms failed and I have no OS on the device at this time.

I made sure I was on ok2 before I began the root and only used rooted ok2 roms to try to flash .

I did a factory wipe to make sure no funny business and still nothing .

I downloaded the roms to me puter then transfered them to a usb adapted 1 at a time then re inserting the micro sd into device , powering down then booting back into recovery to make sure it got a from scratch mount . And nothing .

Also all initial root operations were done with 3.10.7 odin I think . It was the latest version . I ended up not using heimdall seeing as the internetz says its broke.

All roms are failing . Any ideas ?
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] titolito24:
Dude i highly appreciate the Reply

I ended up figuring it out about 2 min after i posted my last post lol. i was on stock KK by the way. i Hadnt taken the chance to flash a new rom since kk because i had sent the phone to florida to a company that cert flashed the phone to unlock it and also flashed a new imei to the phone.. also they told me to not update the phone and flash any custom roms for some odd reason but me being me and desperate to have somewhat the latest features and customization i just had to lol... Dont see why they said not to flash any firmwares on the n4 as everything works perfectly fine still.. But the problem was the odin version that i used it was specifically for the galaxy s4 m919 (one of my other devices) i figure as it says it on the top of the header of Odin (m919) so i downloaded Odin 3.10 flashed the rom crossed my fingers and bam it worked. But id like to thank you for replying quickly.:good:
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] ShrekOpher:
Glad to hear you figured it out. If you go to flash any custom roms realize that now that you are on DOK2 you will need a custom kernel to get root on most of them. Happy flashing.

Please help, touches not being "mapped" correctly

I wanted to try out marshmallow so I upgraded to DOK2 from COD6 using the bootloader and modem files from the first post. Currently I have Bootloader and Modem from this thread's first post, TWRP 2.8.7.0, and SlimRemix 4.X (lollipop). After flashing the bootloader and modem, the phone booted fine, but I noticed that when I touch the screen, the touch received by the phone is below my finger. The offset gets worse when I try to touch something toward the bottom of the screen. If I touch something at the top of the screen, I get pretty close, but if I want to touch something at the bottom of the screen, I have to touch around 60% of the way down the screen. I am also seeing this behavior in TWRP. I did some research and it doesn't look like I can downgrade back to COD6. Any ideas? Do I need to give any more information? Thanks in advance.

Edit: According to this thread it seems to be a root issue. http://xdaforums.com/note-4-tmobile/help/touch-screen-issues-root-t2986883
