[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Skubacb:
Hi,

The N910VVRU2BPA1_N910VVRU2CPD1_FullFirmware.tar is supposed to have the 6.0 bootloader. So when you root you are rooting the new bootloader. Android 5.1.1 Baseband N910VVRV2CPD1

I tried many ROMs including the Jasmine with the TWRP restore and it did not work either.

Yearn2Burn posted the following in post #1104. Talks about Jasmine but applies to Paul Pizz.

This is what I am trying to follow

. It seems to fit everything I have read so far. Sorry about the long quote.

"Yearn2Burn I posted a summary on the Jasmine thread, but mostly applies to you.

If you're on a factory DE, start step 1.

If on an exploit unlocked bootloader, start at step 2, but flash LP MM firmware in place of LP full firmware.

If on Lollipop but not unlocked/rooted , start at step 3.

Stop after step 18 then flash this ROM in TWRP.

Many have expressed frustration looking at links within links to install Jasmine 7. Here is a condensed version made by cut and paste with my observations mixed in.

Instructions:

If you are on a factory issued DE or are unrooted on LP, start at step 1. If you already did bootloader unlock by yourself, you probably don't need this guide.

1. Back up phone as usual with TIB and do nandroid backup. Also backup any files you want to keep from the internal sd storage. They will be wiped!

2. Remove the SD card. Boot into download mode and connect to PC. In Odin, click AP and navigate to extracted LP full firmware. Flash.

3. Boot up, do minimum to get ROM running. Do not enable activation relock. Enable developer mode and USB debugging and install unknown sources.

4. Insert the microSD card and install and run the kingroot apk. On my phone, it didn't reboot with the install process. When I did reboot, root didn't stick, so have to re-root if you reboot. Check root status with root checker.

5. While booted, connect to computer in USB file transfer mode.

6. Fire up ADB by opening folder C:\Program Files (x86)\Minimal ADB and Fastboot and shift-right clicking in folder to start command prompt.

7. I indicate what to enter in brackets, with the brackets obviously not to be included. {adb devices} should show connection to phone.

8. Enter {adb push samsung_unlock{adb push samsung_unlock_n4-fix /data/local/tmp/} to move script to phone. You did move the script first to the ADB folder, right?

9. {adb shell} to go to linux mode.

10. {su} to get superuser access.

11. {cd /data/local/temp/}

12. {chmod 777 samsung_unlock_n4-fix}

13. {chown root.root samsung_unlock_n4-fix}

14. {./samsung_unlock_n4-fix} executes the unlock and CID change. You must actually type yes to execute. Wait for script to complete with its backup before rebooting.

15. Remove the SD card and reboot to download mode. Should see developer. If so, you're on track. It's important to confirm you are now developer. If not, go back to step 3 to repeat rooting and adb bootloader unlock sequence.

16. If it's late, you can just boot up and do an nandroid restore of your original ROM and finish later, or just move on. But the CID is changed and your're ready for next step, other than factory reset before moving on. Also, to get phone to boot first time you may need to pull the microSD to interupt boot looping.

17. Repeat steps 2-15, with exception of Odin flashing the LP MM firmware. Otherwise it's an exact repeat of steps 2-15.

18. In download mode again, Odin flash TWRP using AP slot.

19. Insert the microSD, boot to recovery, wipe data, system, cache and dalvik. Do a quick backup of something small like aboot onto microSD to create TWRP folder structure. Pull the SD and on PC move the Jasmine 7 files to the TWRP/BACKUPS/xxxxxxxx folder, where xxxxxxxx is your device serial number.

20. Recover Jasmine 7 with TWRP. Wipe cache and dalvik again.

21. Boot to download and Odin flash the partial partial CFP3 firmware with patched kernel.

22. Remove microSD. Boot for first time. Will sit there with SAMSUNG across the screen for an eternity. I think it was 20 minutes. If it says SAMSUNG, just go do something else for a while. That's it.

23. You probably will also want to install Xposed installer apk. Btw, once you actually run the Xposed installer, don't choose to update the framework unless you are sure which version to choose or you'll be stuck in a boot loop!"
