[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] Shanghai.Knight:
Here's the thing... EVERYTHING in the Samsung INFO app shows you have an ATT phone (See below)... The ONLY thing that is different is your Device "About" screen.

Something's fishy.

Model: n910A = ATT Model

Type= trlteatt = TR LTE AT&T

Bootloader = 910A = ATT

PDA = 910A = ATT

CSC = 910A = ATT

Baseband = 910A = ATT

Check out this thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=63526184#post63526184

It appears that it is possible to flash a different system.img file - to make it look like a N910F...

But in reality you have a N910A - ATT

If this upsets you, bring it back to the "genuine" samsung dealer and show him the Samsung INFO app and demand your money back...

You probably will not be able to get Marshmallow updates, except through ODIN...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] giga8547:
I agree with you, with warranty he should return it and get his money back or a new phone.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] spexwood:
I'm just curious here. OP, what country do you live in? In the US, that legitimate retailer would have to give you a refund.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] Shanghai.Knight:
I believe he said he's from Malaysia...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] kentangz:
Thanks for pointing out the other thread to me. I guess I have to wait until end of month to revisit the retailer which is considerably far from my place of work. I don't actually mind having the ATT variant if it could be rooted though. I believe it is the only Note 4 variant that cannot be rooted, isn't it?

I live and bought my phone in Malaysia
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] Shanghai.Knight:
As far as I know, the only root on this phone has only been temporarily root...

Sorry you got something different than what you paid for. I lived in Asia 12 years and occasionally dealt with this myself.

Some have tried to go back to earlier versions (4.4.x) but get stuck in boot loops, or soft brick. I don't think there is any way to root. Some threads to examine:

Thats Exactly I am trying to do!!

Hi All,

I am using Note 4 (SM-N910A) which I purchased in United States, Originally this phone was locked on AT&T Carrier so I had to unlock it to use in India. It still running on 4.4.4 (KitKat) and there is no OTA update as well. I want to update my phone's firmware version to 6.0.1 (Marshmallow) by SM-N910G's firmware (N910GDTU1DPD4_N910GODD1DPB5_N910GDDU1DPB4) but while doing so Odin is throwing error "Secure Check Fail: Aboot" (if I use latest Odin 3.11, in next line it says "eMMC write fail: ABOOT")

I was searching for the solution, and I stumble upon this thread. If someone knows how to achieve this (may be by reverse engineering) it would be AWESOME...

(Kindly let me know if you need more info)

Hope to get a positive reply :o
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] maluk:
If you have the SM-N910A phone you cannot put any other firmware on it except the official one. As of this time there is no MM but you can install 5.1.1 using Odin. There is a form that has the files and instructions to do so. When MM is released you will need to wait a little longer for someone to get the firmware files so that you can flash them with Odin.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] roronoa.zoro:
There must be something ...

Thanks for the prompt reply

Maluk

:) , But I believe in this post was create by

kentangz

, as he has N910A with N910F firmware :confused:.... my phone is already 18 months old and it has no warranty left... so I just want to install MM even if it trip Knox counter.

Can't I install MM after rooting my phone... Sorry if my questions are stupid.. I have next to no knowledge about any of this...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] maluk:
This isn't a stupid question but it is asked often.

The N910A has a locked bootloader. Which means unless its an official AT&T firmware, you wont be able to flash anything else. Even if the Note 4 had a permanent root (which it doesn't) you would only be able to flash modified versions of the AT&T firmware. There really is nothing you can do except wait like the rest of us for AT&T to release the firmware of MM. If you do live in India then you could sell your phone and buy the international note 4 version which has an unlocked bootloader and root.

This thread is possibly about how Kentangz might have flashed something to make his phone think its the N910F phone but its still N910A AT&T locked bootloader.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] leekarleong:
Hi Kentangz,

i had exact situation and experience.. i just bought Note 4 recently, and the inFO under about is not tally with the Phone Info .. and even the sticker on back (back)

the sticker on back (battery removed) showing N910F, but all the bootloader, system pointing i using ATT version

i going to "talk" the that "genuine" guys, He has confimed that is devices from MYS itself, and original

how your phone now, do you sell it or ?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] kentangz:
I visited the place where I bought my phone, hoping I can exchange for other variant but it was a no go. Turned out that they sell some other rootable variants (imported Note 4) as well including the actual N910F, but the guy I talked to seemed clueless about all these different models Samsung got.

Now that I've bought a used N910C to apply root, not sure what to do with the ATT unit. Perhaps just wait for the Marshmallow update, flash it and sell to someone else.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] leekarleong:
I did the same as well, i went back to the seller, and even explain to him on the condition, he doesnt even know there is variant. :mad::mad::mad:

it all end up change to another phone, which i yet to decide. but he then promise will exchange for another phone, perhaps need top up some amount.

I'm choosing the phone right now. N5 seem not promising comparing to N4
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] Edham:
Hey guys, can not use a firm of N910F variant in N910A?

For example I had a Galaxy S4 SGH-I337M using a rom of variant Galaxy S4 GT-9505 , only had to use the baseband , bootloader and modem corresponding to the variant of my device

sorry if my english is bad
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] maluk:
Nope, n910a has a locked bootloader and no root. Only official at&t files.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] mrnami3:
Im facing same issues.

Hi kentangz.,

Where u buy ur note? Im from malaysia too. If at&t release the update, can i get the ota update as well? Im not root person. But i want the latest marshmallow. :rolleyes:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] kentangz:
Bought mine at pertama complex. Cannot get OTA update outside of US but you can flash through odin for official AT&T firmware. Marshmallow is not officially released yet though for ATT but you can download from ATT xda forum
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] mrnami3:
Bought mine at wangsa maju. Lets say im update to marshmallow, is it still able to use malaysia telco, i afraid after we upgrade, it become locked for att telco only. Huhu
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] spexwood:
It won't sim lock your phone again.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] mrnami3:
Thanks for the information boss. So now i just have to wait the official marshmallow update aite. Im happy again now. :D
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] akif1907:
I am using an n910a too for 13 months. When I first bought it, I was not aware that I bought an at&t phone, it is told me international version and there was no problem at all, there was turkish language in it and there was no at&t logo at the opening page that I can doubt. After a couple days of use, I tried to connect phone to pc via kies3 but I couldnt succeed. That time I started to understand something is wrong with it. After a few try, I reseted my phone with initialisation on kies. And the first time when I turn on my phone, there was a suprise: at&t logo! only disadvantage for me was no turkish language (which is not a big deal) and no 3g icon to turn on/off, so I didnt mind at all. Later on, I understood that I am not able to get updates except odin. now waiting for mm to flash..

My question is, since you said n910a is locked for only at&t files, how I was able to use different firmware? I didnt give attention first couple days of my use that which version I was using, only after format I was having more info about firmwares and model numbers so I really wonder which firmware was it. If it is possible, how they flashed another firmware to the phone (I bought phone abroad without warranty, the seller opened box right next to me, it was (like) brand new, we checked together. After I go back to my country, I understood that at least once they used phone to flash firmware, I had no chance to find that guy to ask how they did it :) )

thanks in advance for any answer.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] Shanghai.Knight:
Please look at posts 5-10 on this thread. Your question was answered in the beginning of this thread. You cannot install another firmware on 910a other than ATT firmware. But you can disguise 910a to LOOK LIKE another firmware by messing with the files. You are being fooled by some technical slight of hand.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] maluk:
What is the official model number that is under the battery. That would really let us know if you have a at&t phone to made it look like an international phone or an international phone looked to look like at&t phone.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] MHBR:
Have the exact same issues

if i flash with the at&t rom, it does not lock the phone right? so we can use any telco in Malaysia correct?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] Shanghai.Knight:
Flashing attached firmware should not lock an unlocked phone. I have an unlocked att note 4 phone and have installed the marshmallow beta and then flashed the stock firmware many times. My phone is still unlocked. This should not change anything.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] raypozas:
Can actually be done by some hardware devices sold by Chinese shops. Here is one gsmserver website They sell hardware used by cell phone shops all over Asia to unlock Sim locked cellphones. Some of the software used by these dongles change the software inside the phone. Possibly there is a modified baseband N910FXXU1BOC4 by DONGCHAO.A916 whoever that is(might be the chief hacker or the company's name) that can be put in an ATT Note 4 to SIM unlock it so they can be sold in Asia(Could be gray market Note 4s)

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] marios.v:
Hello, i'm trying to upgrade my rooted nexus 5 from 5.1.1 LMY48I to 6.0.1 MOB30H without losing my data, but at first boot, stops at android logo. I follow this steps with nexus root toolkit:

- Erasing Boot, Cache, Recovery and System.

- Flashing bootloader, radio, cache, boot and system with official .img files from Google developers webpage

- Flashing recovery with TWRP .img

After all these steps, stops on android logo...

Any ideas?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GtrCraft:
Do a factory reset
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] experience7:
Do NOT use toolkits!

My first advice is: Do NOT flash using toolkits! You never know what's exactly going on if you don't do it manually. There are plenty of reasons why to not use them...

Okay, now my second advice: Don't flash cache partitions. Caches are built during boot/runtime. However, as far as I know, a corrupted cache partition can lead to bootloops - so it's better to just wipe them before boot...

I don't know what the toolkit did and what not - but try to follow these steps:

1. Install fastboot and adb

Preferred method is via Android Studio command line tools from official source: http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html - Scroll down to "Get just the command line tools". You can decide between an installer or just a zip. It's your choice.

2. Boot your phone in bootloader mode and execute these commands one by one...

Use the proper files! Extract bootloader and radio from latest Google factory image and download TWRP from twrp.me!

3. Boot your phone into TWRP and choose wipe -> DO NOT SLIDE TO FACTORY RESET -> advanced wipe -> cache + dalvik ticked, rest unticked -> slide to wipe

4. Try to boot...

Not sure if it works - but that's the only thing I can think of right now :)

EDIT: [MENTION=5293805]GtrCraft[/MENTION] That would definitely solve his bootloop, but he wants to keep his data :P Hopefully he heeds my advice to keep his hands off of toolkits!
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GtrCraft:
Then he should do all the ota's instead of flashing the factory image
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] experience7:
Don't do full-quotes please.

Seriously? His device is rooted and therefore not receiving OTA (over-the-air!) updates. He'd have to catch all of the zips and flash them manually. So why not just use the system.img?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GtrCraft:
Because you have to factory reset the device. That's the downside of being rooted and wanting to update, especially with M
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] experience7:
I'm sorry to say that you're terribly wrong. I hope you didn't factory reset your device every single time you did an update just because you're rooted! Actually you can use the flash-all.bat file that's provided with the factory image. Just remove the "-w" flag from the "fastboot update" command. This will stop fastboot from wiping your /data partition.

That's what the OP could use as well - however, for his better understanding I listed the commands separately.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dahawthorne:
For what it's worth, this is the script that I've been using since the monthly updates started (copied from another XDA thread which I've forgotten - apologies to the OP of this script).

Preparation.

- Take a TWRP backup and save it on your PC.

- Download factory image and unzip all files, including the zip within the zip. Rename the *.img files to the names below. Copy all of them to the same folder as your ADB/fastboot executables.

- Download the relevant TWRP and rename to twrp.img - also put in ADB/fastboot folder.

- Copy SuperSU to device (if root wanted).

- Set USB debugging in Developer options & attach to your PC.

- Open a CMD window and check connectivity with "adb devices". If it's ok, copy & paste each command below into the CMD window and run them - the only lengthy one is the system.img.

1. adb reboot bootloader

2. fastboot flash bootloader bootloader.img

3. fastboot reboot-bootloader

4. fastboot flash radio radio.img

5. fastboot reboot-bootloader

6. fastboot erase system

7. fastboot flash system system.img

8. fastboot erase boot

9. fastboot flash boot boot.img

10. fastboot erase cache

11. fastboot flash cache cache.img

12. fastboot reboot-bootloader

13. fastboot flash recovery twrp.img

14. From bootloader boot to TWRP and reflash SuperSU

Start to finish - 15 minutes, including the rebuilding of the apps. No data loss (because you haven't touched the data/userdata partition).

I don't say that every step is essential (I note the comment from experience7 about cache) - but this works fine for me.

Please feel free to amend or correct... :)
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] marios.v:
Same problem again. I'm trying all 6.x.x versions but same problem. All commands running without error.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dahawthorne:
In that case all I can suggest is that you bite the bullet and run the flash-all.bat. Back up all your important stuff (photos, etc.) because you'll lose them.

I've seen it suggested often that you should always do a full wipe when upgrading between major versions (e.g. 5 to 6), so maybe this will fix your problem and give you a working phone even if you lose some data and have to set up from scratch.

P.S. Please "Quick reply" - don't repeat the entire previous post. We've all read it; we don't need to read it again.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DestructoSphere:
Hi all I am working on a port of cyanogenmod 12.1 for the Huawei y6 and would like some advice.

It seems that when /mnt/shell/emulated is created it is not labeled with any selinux context and it then switches to fuse context after being mounted.

When booting in permissive mode this poses no problems however when booting in enforcing mode I was getting avc denied for the sdcardd domain trying to unmount and mounton for an unlabeled context which then results in an infinte boot because zygote refuses to start without emulated storage.

I worked around this by adding a seunion in my boardconfig with the following.

allow sdcardd unlabeled:dir mounton;
allow sdcardd unlabeled:filesystem { mount unmount };

My concern is if this would result in any security flaws or issues, the worst I can think of is if a process runs as sdcardd and mounts a filesystem containing malicous code that it can then execute. However this would appear to be only able to happen with root access in the first place which would negate the need to exploit it in the first place.

Can I please have some thoughts on if it is a potential risk and also if so how can I safely resolve the mount on boot issue.

Thanks in advance guys.
