IF that is the case then once the TAR file is selected the user selects "open" at the bottom of the screen to load it into ODIN. This is the step to load the file into ODIN.

Otherwise, clicking "AP" and selecting the TAR file (clicking "open" or double clicking the TAR file) will load it into ODIN.

The first time I ever used ODIN this seemed very "common sense", but that could be me. If needed, I can add these steps to the OP.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] lordofokra:
The confusion is over the filename, you have the TWRP file listed as the one to load into the AP section. You're right that selecting the file is pretty common stuff :)

I'm thinking you meant the actual firmware file goes there?

Good call.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] bftiedt:
Quick question. If we have updatedone via OTA do we still have to use odin to flash MM or can we flash twrp and install su to obtain root?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] dirtybudha:
IF you already updated, then skip the steps to update to MM and move to flashing TWRP.

Does that help?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] bftiedt:
Yes. Will flashing tarp and su trip knox?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] EtherealRemnant:
It's volume up + power + home to boot recovery, volume down will put you back in download mode.

The way I've always done it is turn off auto reboot, hold the phone in landscape like I was going to take a picture, held down volume down + power + home until the screen went black and immediately switched to volume up. Never fails.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] dirtybudha:
Yes, it will trip Knox.

It's not, if you took the OTA Tmobile Update and if you have successfully

Who here is using this method (including firmware) for the G928T Edge Plus?

If the firmware is the same as the Edge, can't we just flash TWRP and SU found in this thread while still using the G928T firmware? Or is it required to flash the one for the Note?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] dirtybudha:
You'll likely find the answer in the Original Android Dev section with the TWRP thread.

I, personally, cannot answer your inquiry. Nor would I recommend you try.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] newguy15:
Thanks for clearing that up for me [MENTION=3488295]dirtybudha[/MENTION].

One last question. I take it that the old way of rooting (developer options, OEM checked blah blah) isn't required anymore? I was rooted but I flashed stock and updated OTA. Now i'm MM (woot woot!) but I wanna re-root. I'm about to flash TWRP but I haven't seen anyone mention the developer options stuff. Dunno if it's because its not required on MM or b/c its a given and i'm just a dumb noob. Lol
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] stevew84:
I only ask because I've been using Tekhd Note 5 rom with the edge plus firmware...so I don't see any problem with this. I'm thinking I'll just need to follow the recovery portion of the OP, but I'll try the firmware just for the lolz
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] newguy15:
actually, nevermind. I just went into developer options and OEM was already checked. Flashed TWRP and #SU is granted! I'm officially a rooted Note 5er running MM. AAAAAAHHHH!

Any suggestions on MM friendly kernels? I hear the battery life on custom kernels + MM is amazing. Thanks for the help guys.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] dirtybudha:
Glad it cleared a few things up.

If you installed the update you likely lost root. To check you can open a program like titanium backup or ROM Toolbox. You'll know immediately if you're rooted because they will tell you that you can't use the app, no root permission.

As for the dev options, you're welcome to try and install it yourself, but I strongly suggest that you do a nandroid backup so you can revert back to your previous working installation. ALWAYS BACKUP!!

Otherwise, I would say be patient and seeing if anybody else in here has an answer for you. I'm sorry I don't have a definite answer but hopefully someone might.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] Goody68:
I used this method with these files with no problem! Im on G928T too;)

So I got the stock OTA rooted just fine, has anyone tried running the new Sky High kernel with any of the international Roms? There are a couple that specifically say they support the T variant, so I'm curious.

I know there are cases where we need to use the call audio fix, but I don't remember which Rom that was.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] Misterjunky:
re: audio fix

I think you are talking about this:

https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24269982086998831 (courtesy of @dr.ketan)

This fixes the in-call audio issue when using a international rom.

Without this fix none of the international roms will have in-call audio.

Good luck,

Have a great day!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] stevew84:
Thanks. I just tried the River ROM for the Edge Plus and I noticed my capacitive buttons didn't work for some reason. Went back to my stock rooted OTA and they work fine.

I plan on trying another Edge Plus Rom here in a little bit.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] Misterjunky:
re: international roms

Try the Audax v3.0 rom or the Bobcat rom they both work fine with the audio fix file I posted.

Only thing is, since you don't have a G928T the three softkeys will be backward as you said.

But still, all three of them work properly, just takes a bit of time getting used to it.

The Bobcat international rom has a super duper theme and a ton of features, it's truly one of

a kind, check it out!

But they all work fine...

Good luck!

Have a great day!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] stevew84:
I do have the g928t but the keys just didn't work at all...I'll try the other Roms...thanks.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] Misterjunky:
re: softkey issue

I thought you had a N920T... Note 5

In that case you are in luck,,

The International 6.0 roms need the @arter97's kernel, it will fix the softkey issue on the G928T.

The rom still will need the audio fix.

This is the kernel you need for your G928T "arter97-kernel-g920tw8-11.0.zip" it's fully MM 6.0 compatible.

p.s. I would strongly suggest to do a nandroid backup before doing anything... Just in case.

Good luck,

Have a great day!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] stevew84:
I used 11.0 on the 5.1.1 ROMs, it's really compatible with 6.0? that's awesome and I'll give it a shot!

Man I hope TEK hooks up a nice 6.0.1 ROM for either of these two devices.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] Misterjunky:
In the changelog of Arter97, it will tell you all the specifics as well as if it supports

the new Marshmallow 6.0 firmware... I checked it before posting my last post.

The last 2 or 3 updates of Arter97's kernel all supported MM 6.0.

I have not flashed any international roms yet, but I plan to do so

soon.

Remember, that the people who have the international G928x and

the N920x got their Marshmellow update a couple months ago. LOL

I do recall that everyone with the G928T KitKat had the softkey issue when

flashing any of the international roms until we started using Arter97's kernels.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] stevew84:
From 12.0 and on, there is no listed support for the g928t. Well not support, but there isn't a downloadable file for our variant.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] Misterjunky:
That's why I posted the exact version and filename.

I knew there are newer kernels, but not for the G928T.

If you flash the wrong kernel the phone will either

bootloop or it will get stuck on the Samsung logo.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] Goody68:
I think you misread his thread! V11 is the last 5.1 kernel and v12 was when he started working on 6.0 kernel, but i do believe he hadn't got any of them to boot! At that point he said he wasnt going to continue 6.0 kernels dev. until he got some help from other devs;) I was following his thread back when v12 started!

---------- Post added at 10:59 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:28 AM ----------

Just stick to our stock kernel and call audio fix on int. Roms and you'll be fine;) Ive flashed a few with no problem! Skyhigh has mentioned a kernel support for our G928T when he gets back this weekend;)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] stevew84:
Well how do I stick to the stock kernel?

If I'm on rooted stock right now, can I flash River ROM, SU and Call fix and that's it? I think I tried to note5 Sky High kernel when I did the River ROM earlier today...but I don't remember.

re: softkeys

You need to flash @jovy23 's stock modified Marshmallow 6.0 kernel.

Doing that the softkey lights and buttons will work fine.

The stock marshmallow 6.0 N920T kernel should also work fine.

Here is jovy23's link to his kernel:

http://xdaforums.com/tmobile-galaxy...ernel-stock-modified-kernel-touchwiz-t3194148

Be sure to flash the kernel AFTER flashing the rom or the kernel

in the rom (if it has one) will over-write jovy23's kernel.

Good luck,

Have a great day!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] stevew84:
Thats the Note5 kernel...and if the new Sky-High Note5 kernel doesn't fix the issue, how would this?

Also none of Arter's stuff works for the G928T yet. So I think I'll just have to stick with the rooted stock.

I can boot River Rom and dr. Keton so that's no issue, just don't have any buttons.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] dirtybudha:
The issue is that a lot of people unrooted to get the update. By going this route you get to keep all of you settings as it's just an update. So, flashing TWRP and SuperSU will help you jump back to root without losing your settings. We got lucky and Sammy didn't lock the bootloader with the update.

The kernel will certainly help, but won't get you TWRP or SuperSU. Also, when MM was dropped there wasn't a rooted kernel from the DP1 release.

This thread is to help people upgrade, via ODIN, to Marshmallow, then flash TWRP, and flash SuperSU. Anything else

re: upgrading to marshmallow 6.0

All you need to do is to do a full and complete wipe

and last but not least a factory reset in twrp.

After that put the phone into download mode and

flash the marshmallow firmware.

It looks like you done everything correctly except

you have not done a full wipe before odin flashing

the marshmallow 6.0 firmware.

Good luck,
