Has anyone successfully converted N920G to N920i? I had the Singapore XSP variant, which I converted to the N920g using the 4 file firmware. It would be really great if someone could tell me how to go back to my original variant?

I read on this thread that (1) I could extract the single file 6.0.1 XSP firmware and make a 4 file firmware (using the extracted files) and flash via odin. (2) Or download 5.1.1, 4 file firmware for the XSA Australian variant and let it OTA update and cross flash the 6.0.1 XSA Singapore variant? (Not sure). Also read somewhere that I need a PIT file for the N920i variant.

I'm just confused. Hope someone can walk me through which method I should follow...any help would be greatly appreciated.
[Galaxy Note5 General] danw1million:
How did you flash back ?
[Galaxy Note5 General] gatherlemon:
After the MM update, my battery just plunges after it hits the 15% mark, draining about 2% per minute on active use. I've already done a factory reset and cleared the system cache, but the problem still persists.. =(
[Galaxy Note5 General] danw1million:
To revert back to original SM-N920I from SM-N920G, I downloaded the 5.1.1 XSA (or you can use XSP) from samfirm link earlier in the thread.

Flash the four files: AP, BL, CP, CSC, in Odin (v3.10.7) then after the phone is booted up go to settings and manually check for the software update.

I am on stock Australian XSA variant and the SM-N920I 6.01 update is downloading now, XSP should do the same and the OTA download speed is quite good.

Hope this info helps !

[Galaxy Note5 General] pwned101:
Thanks for the info. I think I'll try your steps with the XSP 5.1.1 firmware from SamFirm. One question though, So the firmware file from Samfirm is the 4 file type and not a single tar.md5 file like from Sammobile?

Thanks again :good:

Edit: The firmware for XSP (Singapore) 5.1.1 from Samfirm is the 4 file version. I'll try flashing back to N920i.
[Galaxy Note5 General] jetshine:
Is there any strong reason to go back to an N920i firmware if I've gone to MM via the N920G route? As others have mentioned, I already got one OTA update while using the N920G firmware, they seem to be doing a better job of keeping the -G version up-to-date.
[Galaxy Note5 General] pugnacious1:
I Using android 6 on my 920i but battry life is very bad... android os battry usage so much!!
[Galaxy Note5 General] pwned101:
Only reason for me is the huge cell standby drain for me on the N920G 6.0.1 firmware. Never has that issue on the 5.1.1 N920i version. I'm just curious to find if there's any difference. And like you said, the N920G version seems to be getting updates more promptly than the N920i version.

---------- Post added at 01:30 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:11 PM ----------

Update:

So I successfully flashed back my N920G to N920I (XSP Singapore). Thanks [MENTION=3066801]danw1million[/MENTION] for walking me through the steps. :highfive:

What I did:

1) Download the 4 file firmware for XSP (Android 5.1.1) from hxxp://samfirm.net/threads/galaxy-note-5-n920i-android-5-1-1-n920idvu2aojd-xsp-12-29-2015.16/

2) Flash the four files: AP, BL, CP, CSC, in Odin (v3.10.7)

3) Booted up and checked for OTA Marshmallow 6.0.1. Download the update and installed it

That's it. Everything is working fine. Knox counter still at 0x0. Cheers :good:
[Galaxy Note5 General] InteliDroid:
Oh lucky your Knox isn't tripped... Mine is and I wish I can just use the rom not rooted so I can get OTA updates, etc.

Cause once you trip Knox you get deep sleep issue and it's resolved by rooting the device.
[Galaxy Note5 General] hinnn:
SamFirm is ready to download XSA 6.0,
[Galaxy Note5 General] m4gg0t:
The only reason to use the N920I version on your phone is to get proper CSC support by your carriers. For me on N920G MM I had no Volte, but with the N920I MM I now have it.
[Galaxy Note5 General] ibowl77:
N920i covers also France (4G), hope it covers also Portugal (I'll see that in 2 weeks !)
[Galaxy Note5 General] me_ashman:

[Galaxy Note5 General] samthegam:
I have N920i from Singapore which is running XSP MM PD3 and when I try to enable VoLTE I get an error "VoLTE is not supported by your current software version. Contact customer service for more details" I am using the phone in the USA with T-Mobile. Are you running XSA or XSP to get VoLTE working? Does VoLTE only work on the N920i only in the region it was purchased. I assume no CSC support for T-Mobile USA.
[Galaxy Note5 General] 15150776:
hi guys. i have an n920i in the UK. can anyone give me some steps on how i can update using odin. thanks
[Galaxy Note5 General] hoainamvtvn:
you just need to download stock rom 6.0.1 from samfirmware and flash it via odin. It's work perfectly
[Galaxy Note5 General] miguelazo86:
New ota update
[Galaxy Note5 General] terayder:
That's for the G variant, not SM-N920I
[Galaxy Note5 General] m4gg0t:
I think volte only works for the CSC it's made for. Mine is Xsp.
[Galaxy Note5 General] hinnn:
Definitely
[Galaxy Note5 General] pingerau:
I would just like to say Marshmallow is finally released for Australian N920I. Got the notification to update today.
[Galaxy Note5 General] hinnn:
XSA? I have same one but I'm using vodafone, seems only VAU support the VoLTE.

By the way, I'm crazy for the deep sleep issue.
[Galaxy Note5 General] InteliDroid:
I am on Dr. Ketan's rom MM v6 and I tried enabling VoLTE but it says carrier does not support. Have you enabled it on his ROMs before, or do you need to contact Vodafone to enable it from their end?

Thanks.
[Galaxy Note5 General] hinnn:
No, I used the VAU 5.1.1 version last time. N920IDVU2AOL2

Don't need additional setting, you can see the HD icon during call,

[Galaxy Note5 General] SveninFla:

[Galaxy Note5 General] InteliDroid:
Oh, alright. I don't wanna go back to 5.1.1 haha. Also if you find a way to enable it via Dr. Ketan's Marshmallow custom rom please tell me.

The call quality on H, H+ is terrible.
[Galaxy Note5 General] m4gg0t:
You also need your carrier to enable volte on your line. I didn't have mine till I asked them to enable it. Imo volte eats your data, so I turn mine off anyways.

I'm on 5.1.1 now and I have these changes on my phone:

1) Custom recovery - latests TWRP

2) Exposed installed

3) SuperSU (BINDSYSTEMXBIN=false, SYSTEMLESS=true) installed.

I'm considering updating. Would it be enough to uninstall the Xposed, flash original recovery and try to update? I do not want to hassle with all the instillation if I go full recover to the stock before the update.
[Galaxy Note5 General] kat3k:
After the MM update, Samsung did a second update, and that's when my battery issue started. I could watch the battery go down before my very eyes. I looked at all possible apps or usage that could be causing it - nothing helped. After a couple of weeks I called Verizon and they walked me through a flash process connected to my computer through USB. They said a simple restore to factory default would not have the same effect that this would. I was not optimistic, but I've been using it for a week and battery is back to normal. (Everybody else might know how to do the process, but I needed help on a walk through.) Anyway, that's what worked for me. Hope it helps someone.
[Galaxy Note5 General] samthegam:
Samsung released a new update for the Australia XSA and VAU Note 5 today. The PDA version is: N920IDVU2BPE3 CSC: N920IXSA2BPE2 I hope Samsung releases it soon for the Singapore XSP variant soon.

I have an XSP Note 5 SM-N920i using with T-Mobile USA updated to 6.0.1 and after the update every time I power off or reset i get a popup that says need to download svoiceprovider you will be taken to download screen.....then i get app not available for your device with com.samsung.svoiceprovider:2290:4002

I have a Samsung Gear 2 smartwatch paired to the phone. SVoice works on the phone not on the watch. I do have svoiceprovidernu installed and the version is 1.3.0.7 Anyone else experiencing this?
[Galaxy Note5 General] nandagopal.r:
Finally managed to get MM!

I got the phone from Telstra (though it is unlocked to any network) and it was a pain to keep looking for MM update. Even worse, the guys on Unlocked, Optus and Vodafone started getting updates. I had a look in Telstra's update page yesterday and they are saying that it is under testing and deployment date is shown as 20th June 2016 with the customary warning of "this could be delayed" :p

So I thought enough is enough and went ahead and flashed the XSA version from Sam Mobile. Working like a charm and no issues till now. :) Happy!

For those who are still looking for the update in Australia, here is the info that I know:

1. Unlocked - Update available

2. Optus - Update available

3. Vodafone - Update available

4. Telstra - Update in Testing Phase, tentative date of 20/06/2016.

Not aware of other carriers.
[Galaxy Note5 General] hinnn:
Do you know which software they used? Smartswitch or Odin or they downloaded something?
[Galaxy Note5 General] kat3k:
Sorry, I do not. It was something from Samsung I assume.

Can someone pls confirm if you can add US issued credit cards/debit cards on a N920i Singapore version Note 5?

If you load that you're likely to brick it hard.

I agree it's still a really good phone with lollipop. None of the new MM features are a huge leap forward.. But It's the lack of security updates that are really bothering me! 4 months now since we've had one, and they promised monthly updates. This doesn't bode well for the future.

[Galaxy Note5 General] MxFadzil92:
Only way is to spamming their customer service or write in reviews any tech tips site making it viral. Reputations down=immediate actions taken. That's my opinion though. They have always been lacking updates from their ssd (drivers stability) and their phones software updates
[Galaxy Note5 General] architurk:
My Note 5 got MM update for Turkey yesterday. My impressions;

1- Doesn't seem to be a big difference, I just wonder why we have waited almost a year!

2-Long press home button search doesn't work! Googled it, wiped cache didnt work. Checked settings on Nova launcher, turned back to Touchwiz, nope! Called Samsung, they said they will turn back on this, still waiting.

3- Notification bar turned to grey background! Again Nova setting on transparent notification bar is useless

Now looking for a way to turn back to LP, if not for the promised monthly security updates.

[Galaxy Note5 General] whk430:
I know, but how to change N920i to N920 L?, buy a new one? XD
[Galaxy Note5 General] Pinnacle74:
No, I mean his device, his Note 5 is a SM-N920L while this thread is for the SM-N920I (with an I, as in Idaho) model (which at least I have).

So, the N920L version got MM a few weeks back while we're still waiting for MM to be released for the N920I model.

From where do you download MM for the N920G version then??

I finally caved in when I saw my friends M8 running 6.0.1.

Goodluck, guys. Hope MM hits the 920i soon.
[Galaxy Note5 General] ozaghloul:
Why can't they just have one variant like apple. What's the point of fragmenting everything like this. It would be easier and cheaper for them to produce and support one model.

I'm curious to know how it all worked out...

Hey i can pay for info how to unlock all bands. I realy need band 20, because in my country it is main band for all operators! I discovered that motherboards i/c/g are identical. Tryed c modem but have no luck..
