will this cause a factory reset? and where can I download a

safe

stock firmware for odin? I have readed about users with a bricked device by flashing the wrong file.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Battlehero:
Download SamFirm

Select automatic and type SM-N910F as the model and the the CSC for your region. You can find the csc for your country/carrier by going to Sammobile and checking there.

It's impossible to flash a stock firmware for a different model via Odin.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] megaequs:
Will this wipe my internal storage like a factory reset? I mean will this perform only a normal wipe of data, system, cache or like like a factory reset delete all my files on the phone completely?
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Battlehero:
It won't perform a factory reset. Though it is always advised to back up your data as you can never be certain of when something goes wrong.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] megaequs:
OK, everything seemed to be correctly (Screenshot 1), but then I have installed another custom rom and have everything mixed up again now (Screenshot 2)..... PDA from N9100 and CSC is completely missing...
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Battlehero:
That's because the Rom is based on different firmwares and therefore it's normal for it to display such information.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] megaequs:
But my mobile data connection is really bad.... what can I do? I tried different modems... without success.... as soon, as I drive in the underground, I have no internet connection anymore... Till I am under open skies again....
[Galaxy Note 4 General] shaggyskunk:
It could be that the Carrier just doesn't have great service in that area - And it's also quite possibly the fact that you're in the underground.

[Galaxy Note 4 General] megaequs:
But I had good connection, even in the underground a few weeks before.... But then I flashed different roms bootloaders and Modems and now the connection is very poor....

And LTE is nearly don't working at all..... when I switch to LTE my connection is often gone (no calls, no internet)
[Galaxy Note 4 General] shaggyskunk:
Then go back to the previous Modem - Or call your Carrier and ask them if they are having trouble - It's not Rocket Science ?

And in your previous post you were saying that you had a really good Data connection....

SM-N910G and RR 5.8.5

I have a SM-N910G and RR 5.8.5 and I have terrible problems with the device losing LTE data connectivity. It only seems to happen when you are on the move in a car and the phone is switching between cells. If I am stationary in one location, I never lose LTE data connectivity. At least one other user using this ROM on a SM-N910G has reported similar issues. The only way to recover and reestablish LTE connectivity is to reboot the phone.

The log file from my device shows a continuous stream of of error, as sample of the errors is below:

11-22 16:46:54.544 3083 3102 I SignalStrengh: [d][a] getLteSignalStrengthTCT(2147483647)

11-22 18:15:33.257 6242 6272 I SignalStrengh: [d][a] Failed to invoke method getWcdmaEcio

Users running the same RR ROM with SM-N910F devices don't seem to have these errors.

From what I can gather, the only difference between the SM-N910F and the SM-N910G device is SM-N910G supports and additional two LTE bands.

I am speculating (correct me if I am wrong) that there could be something in the latest SM-N910G modem causing the errors above.

This raises a few questions for me:

1. Can I flash the SM-N910F modem on a SM-N910G device? Anyone done it?

2. If I can flash the SM-N910F modem, do I also need to flash the bootloader also?

3. What process and tools do you use to extract the modem from the stock Samsung ROM?

Any help would be appreciated.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Raven_999:
I think you can't flash N910F modem on N910G, as they have different modem hardware and you may brick your device.

What modem are you on now? Try maybe flash a previous modem. If you're going to do so, let me know, as I have almost all modems and bootloaders from Lollipop to the last Marshmallow one.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] pellajl:
Thanks for your response.

The firmware I started with is this one:

https://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/galaxy-note4/SM-N910G/XSA/download/N910GDTS1DQG1/182743/

However, there is is a later firmware release which may have a modem fix:

https://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/galaxy-note4/SM-N910G/XSA/download/N910GDTS1DQH2/187645/

Do you have that modem? Alternately how can I extract and repackage modem.bin in the later firmware?

Hi,

hopefully someone can help me.

I am on FireKatN4 Deodex Ank4 910t, and I would like to upgrade to MM; simply.... how to do it?

Thank you
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Raven_999:
Download latest stock firmware from Sammobile for your model. Flash it in Odin, or Google latest Marshmallow bootloader and modem.

If you flash stock, then you'll have to install latest TWRP recovery then root and flash your desired ROM.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] netgar:
Thank you so much. Can I use odin v3.11, because I cant find any other version;
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Raven_999:
Yes you can. I use that version too
[Galaxy Note 4 General] netgar:
Last question,

1. do I need to wipe anything before going back to stock? I dont care about data.

if I will back to stock all I need to do is:

2. not even boot to stock, just flash latest twrp. (or I need to boot to stock?)

2. Just boot to twrp and flash rom and gaps

Right?

Thank you again
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Raven_999:
Flashing stock will automatically wipe everything. Just in case remove ext SD card if you have one before flashing stock, who knows what surprises Odin might bring.

Don't think you need to boot stock as you'll have latest bootloader and modem, then just flash latest TWRP, ROM and gapps if u use them. Hope it works
[Galaxy Note 4 General] netgar:
Thank you so much Raven
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Raven_999:

[Galaxy Note 4 General] O's:
Hey Raven, sounds like you'll probably know this. I should know it by now but haven't done it much if ever. If I have MM modem/bootloader, will I brick the phone if I flash a KitKat ROM? What are the general rules of back/forward compatibility? Thank you much!
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Raven_999:
Hey. In my experience I only downgraded successfully from

MM to LP, I mean bootloaders and modems. Never tried till KK. MM bootloader will probably boot KK ROM, but you won't have WiFi and maybe other issues may occur. To flash a KK ROM successfully and for it to work normally without issues you need also to flash first KK bootloader and modem then ROM.

Why you need KK ROM in the first place? Stay on MM or at least LP. There are so many good ROMs on these versions of Android.

Anyway, if Odin will let you downgrade then all is good, if not it'll give an error. I think you can't brick your phone
[Galaxy Note 4 General] O's:
OK, that's what I figured, but thank you. Wanting to try MIUI, but the only Snapdragon ROM is KitKat-based. There's a MM MIUI but it's Exynos.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] ProStreetCamaro:
Anybody else having this issue? I cant figure out what is causing it all the sudden. I did not do anything different to the phone. Touchwiz just started crashing a lot out of the clear blue. I even did a factory data reset to try to fix it and that did not help at all. I am wondering if it is being caused by some kind of recent app update? Maybe system webview? That has caused problems for me before with other apps.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] muffinflesh:
Mine just started doing the same thing the other day and it is pretty persistent.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] archie87:
This was happening to me too. I was using a material design theme. Resetting the theme to the default and then back to the one I wanted seems to have temporarily resolved the issue. It's only been a few hours, but no crashes so far. I'll update this if I start getting crashes again.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] ProStreetCamaro:
OK guys are all of you running package disabler pro? I have been running it since day one with no issue. Since disabling it I have not had any further problems. Apparently a recent update caused some sort of issue.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] archie87:
I had package disabler installed but no apps disabled with it. I have now uninstalled it and will see if anything changes.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] archie87:
Still persists after removing package disabler. Hope this gets resolved soon.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] ProStreetCamaro:
Yup same here. Worked fine after re enabling everything for a while them bam it struck again. So its not package disabler. I am at a loss. Even starting fresh didnt help it. It is apparently not anything we are doing but a samsung issue instead.

Strangely enough, the problem seems to have resolved itself.

It's the doze feature on marshmallow, besides the battery saving stuff it does, it essentially also delays a lot of notifications that comes in the phone, i haven't found a fix for it yet.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fury683:
Doze should not impact SMS, phone calls or alarms, to my understanding. If you're using a 3rd party SMS app, you might need to exempt it from battery optimization.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] D47x:
Oh right didn't see the texting part....well yeah what you said lol. Although for whatsapp and a couple of IM apps are still suffering delays even when app is listed as priority and exempt from battery optimizations (for me at least)

[LG Optimus L90] TRBiteMyFury:
So according to an app called "Root Toolkit for Android", my phone is a LG D405 L90. See by this screenshot:

However, when I take my battery out, the label where my IMEI number is says LG-D405n.

Do I trust the app? I used this website: http://lg-phone-firmware.com/index.php?firmware=1 to search my IMEI number, and it said my phone was a LG D405n L90. http://lg-phone-firmware.com/firmware-LG+L90-Tutti-55.html :

When I first bricked my phone, I followed this tutorial to fix it: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=61808443&postcount=9 of course using the D405n loader.img and D405n stock KDZ. When I reboot my phone, I always get this warning:

I super hard bricked my phone, where it only came under Device Manager as "QHSUSB_BULK"/"Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008" and followed this tutorial http://xdaforums.com/lg-l90/general/guide-unbrick-hard-bricked-l90-variants-t3173429 (Because my phone was already in QHSUSB_BULK/Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008 mode, I didn't have to disassemble my phone).

My phone is rooted, with the TWRP recovery and bootloader unlocked.

I have made this thread to see if anyone could possibly help me find out what kind of D4xxx my phone really is. Thank you.
[LG Optimus L90] lfom:
D405n = D405 + NFC

So if you have NFC then you have D405n, I would trust the label inside the phone if it's original (bought it brand new and the package was sealed).
[LG Optimus L90] TRBiteMyFury:
Ok, thank you. So do you know why I get that warning then? I never had it until I unbricked my phone.
[LG Optimus L90] lfom:
Other users reported the same problem. Either you used a beta version or most probably the wrong version for your region. Kdz files also have a 3 letters code referring to the region of the globe that it was made for.
[LG Optimus L90] TRBiteMyFury:
I used the KDZ file my country and carrier. I'm not sure which version I was on before though. I had my kernel and recovery imgs backed up from before I first bricked it, so I'll try reflash my kernel to see if anything will change.
[LG Optimus L90] lfom:
Maybe that's what happened: the region code is hardcoded in the bootstack (probably aboot.bin?), so maybe you have a mismatch between the region code of bootstack and system? You can check your software settings in your phone, it will show the software version, something like 20a-SCA-XXX, where SCA-XXX is related to the region code in the bootstack. I had a problem a while ago when I upgraded to 20c using a TWRP zip and the software version was still 20b, so I flashed the 20c bootstack for my phone and it fixed it.
[LG Optimus L90] TRBiteMyFury:
My software version is v20a-OP1-SI. I'll check if that's my region or not. If it isn't, should I find a the bootstack for D405n and install it using TWRP?

HTC Europe released las week the WM6 upgrade for those HTC Advantage X7500 running spanish ROM.

I donwloaded the file since I have my Advantage registrered and I just upload the EXE file to the FTP (using xdaupload) into the Upload area of Athena.

As far as I read in the instalation instructions is a matter of checking that you have at least 50% of baterry, connecting the Advantage to the PC with ActiveSync and running the EXE file in the PC.

They said it takes 30 minutes to install.

The file is called:

Advantage_HTC_SPA_2.21.412.1_1.50.00.00_Ship.exe

So is in /Uploads/Athena

[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ra6idr0y:
I've seen a few posts about over-sensitive auto rotate and experienced the same myself. After a bit of digging I found this post on reddit. It's seems a bit out of date for the current version of Tasker but you should make it past the differences just fine. This method was not created by me and I take no credit or responsibility:

Originally posted by kindall on Reddit:

Requires:

Tasker (of course)

A ROM that lets you choose what orientations your phone's display can auto-rotate into. I use Carbon, where this is under Settings > Display > Rotation. In other ROMs it may be in a different place. If you have a stock ROM you may or may not have such a feature at all.

Steps:

1) Go into your phone's orientation settings and TURN OFF everything but 90 degrees. Don't worry, the phone will still display in portrait mode; you just have to turn automatic rotation off! In fact, that's how this trick works: we'll use Tasker to turn auto-rotate on and off as a way to force the phone to be in either portrait or landscape.

2) At the bottom of Tasker > Preferences > Monitor, make sure Orientation State Accuracy is set to High. BTW, if you don't see these settings, make sure Beginner Mode (in the UI tab of the Tasker prefs) is not set.

3) Now create a profile: Name: Landscape; Contexts: [State: Display On; State: Orientation Left Side]. Create a new Enter task containing one action: Display Rotation On.

4) Create a second profile: Name: Portrait; Contexts: [State: Display On; State: Orientation Standing Up]. Create a new Enter task containing one action: Display Rotation Off.

5) Set the Restore Settings checkbox in both of these profiles to Off. (Long-press the profile name, then click the settings icon in the toolbar at the top of the screen.) Otherwise Tasker will switch the setting back as soon as the phone is no longer in the exact position needed to activate the profile, which will defeat the purpose.

Optionally:

6) add a profile that turns Display Rotation Off at startup, and perhaps another one that turns Display Rotation Off when the display is turned off, if you want to force portrait mode at either of these occasions.

Now your phone won't auto-rotate into landscape until you hold it pretty much exactly in landscape orientation, and won't rotate back until you hold it pretty much exactly in portrait orientation. You can control the required accuracy using the Orientation State Accuracy setting in Tasker, mentioned in step 2.

If you want to, you can add a third profile for rotating to the other landscape mode, and activate 270 degrees in your ROM's display rotation preferences. While the phone will freely rotate the display between these orientations when auto-rotation is on, it should be difficult to switch accidentally since they are physically so far apart.
[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stevevetter:
This sucks. I got a 16 GB model some time ago expecting marshmallow and a good microSD card to be the ticket. I have a Sandisk Ultra 128 Gb class 10 card which is well regarded for speed and reliability. I FINALLY got Marshmallow recently and went through the process of getting my card reformatted for adaptive storage. I was surprised during the process that the phone gave me a warning that the card was slow and I may experience problems, but I pressed on.

Everything seemed to work fine after the 'conversion' and the phone seemed snappy enough. Though I hadn't yet installed any new programs in the new configuration. I merely backed up photos and audio media that was being stored on the card, and then restored them to their proper location after the reformat to integrate the card with internal storage.

I then installed some apps I had removed to make space on internal storage previously. Now the phone is totally unusable. I get about 1-3 minutes of usage after boot before it hangs up on a screen, or with the notification shade pulled down. The phone just totaly freezes; I can't even power it down (need to look up how to force it to shut down).

What have I gotten myself into? Why would that card be considered 'slow and/or inadequate' when I purchased it less than 6 months ago and it is rated a good and fast card?

Any suggestions on how to proceed? I need and counted on the combined storage capability (or I never would have gone or the 16 Gb model).

Thanks for any help.
[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stevevetter:
oh, and random reboots and also the screen going blank but the phone not actually being off (battery died really fast) overnight. I'm trying to get into the bootloader and do traditional things like clearing dalvik cache (is that current? I haven't done much rooting and messing around with the guts of Andriod since Kit Kat), etc.
[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bhazard451:
I had to revert too. Limited TWRP support, very slow apps, couldn't connect via USB to the SD storage. I bought the 16GB thinking the same thing. Was a mistake as of now.
[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SpasilliumNexus:
Besides not being able to do anything with the card in TWRP, I'm having no problems using adaptive storage, and I too use a 128GB SanDisk Ultra.
[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stevevetter:
I'm not worried about TWRP. I'm actually content with the phone non-rooted if adaptive storage works, since it's not carrier locked and I can do things that previously Verizon wouldn't let me. I'm not interested in mucking around with new ROM's and stuff anymore; too busy with other tinkering projects and i have plenty of other viable devices to do that with (amazon phone and tablet, older android phones, etc.). I want this one to be a stock daily driver; but I want it to f'ing work as indicated.

I just got done doing a factory reset, formatting the SD card as internal and restoring (system tool; is that a Moto thing or Lollipop+?). We'll see how it goes. I may just have mucked it up trying to convert to adaptive storage after having used it with Lollipop AND even moving some apps to the SD card.

I'm having this problem, but when I plug in without a battery all that shows up in device manager is "Unknown USB Device (Device Descriptor Request Failed)". I tried to do the hardware fix and was able to force the device to reboot by touching the pins. But all that happens is it disconnects and reconnects from USB without being detected properly.

I should note that when I turn the phone on right now, it stays stuck in the initial LG G3 splash screen. When I plug in without a battery, it shows an empty battery icon with a wire and a triangle question mark.

Any idea what I'm doing wrong? I think if I can just figure out how to get my machine to detect my phone as the qdloader hs usb 9008 I can figure out the rest.
