Are you going from 5.1 to 6.0 using the no aboot file? If so, you definitely have to update your bootloader to get wifi working.

The aboot is what upgrades your bootloader. If you were previously on 5.1 on you want upgrade to 6.0 you unfortunately have to go through bootloader upgrade and unlock. Once your bootloader is cpd1 then you can use the file with no aboot to upgrade your firmware.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] fastjohnson:
I'm 6.0.1 now the no A boot file and I was 5.1.1 to unlock the bootloader but now I'm 6.0.1. so your saying use the whole cpd1 file full firmware to get the wifi working
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] kevintm78:
Kind of... If you want to keep your bootloader unlocked you have to use that hybrid bpa1/cpd1 file and unlock that using the same method mentioned in the op. If the unlocked bootloader isn't what your after and you just want to be on 6.0 then you could just flash the full cpd1 file and everything will work, but I suspect that isn't what your wanting. ;) The problem is that the exploit only works on 5.1, that's why the hybrid firmware is used. It updates your bootloader to cpd1 but uses the firmware of 5.1. Once you unlock the cpd1 bootloader, I would go ahead and flash that stock restore rom or jasmine 6.0 to make sure everything is ok and then you can flash any of the no aboot 6.0 files to get to pf3, pg2, or pj2.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] fastjohnson:
Yah I've just decided to to run stock 6.0.1 for right now I tried flashing the cpd1 and it booted the BL unlock so for right now I'll just run stock. Boy they made this a pain in the a@$ you can have a unlocked BL but no root or have it all and no WiFi. But still this is headway for sure. Thank you for your help.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] fastjohnson:
where is this file obtainable ill give it another shot, ill be flashing this file directly after BL unlock in 5.1.1 and go straight to this firmware. is it ok to use with stock Sammy rom.

HI, I have a Dev Ed and I am trying to get on The latest 7.1.1 hsbadr's Nougat rom

I have odin'd : N910VVRU2CPJ2_PartialFirmware_DevEd.tar.md5.7z"

From Hsbdar:

"If you're already on unlocked Android 6.0.1 Marshmallow bootloader, you can extract and flash the DevEd partial fimware via Odin to upgrade:

N910VVRU2CPJ2_PartialFirmware_DevEd.tar.md5.7z"

Here is my situation. I installed 7.1.1

But I have no 4G on my N910V Developer Edition, only 3G

Would someone be willing to help me get this working please? Ill answer any question you ask.

Preferred Network type = Global

System Select = Auto

CDMA subscription= RUIM/SIM

Access Point Names = Verizon VZWINTERNET

As my phone is a Dev Ev model I flashed this to get on the newest modem:

even though it is a partial, did I do the right thing?

Thanks!

i take it from this Flash MM Safe Upgrade, JasmineROM v6.0, CM13 or any MM ROM

[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] ziggy71:
It's not hard. Flash your rom, go to download mode, flash partial, then enjoy.

I got it simple instructions just was being indecisive but I got it now to root this LG3
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Wodensman:
Im perm rooted on my vzw note 4 with 5.1.1. My baseband is BPA1. Do i flash a 6 rom with partial CPJ2 now, or Do i need to flash fix or stock?

Sorry, there are about 4 threads covering there steps, but they all vary slightly and start with stock 5.1. I dont know how to tell if my BL is still unlocked so i xan just flash straight thru to 7.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] ziggy71:
Next Step

No. Now you need to follow instructions at the beginning of this post. Flash the hybrid firmware, root, unlock bootloader, flash twrp, then flash mm rom and partial firmware.

---------- Post added at 05:45 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:40 AM ----------

And, if your perm rooted. Then your bootloader is unlocked. Go to downloading screen and see if it says developer in grey. If so, start there. If not, start from scratch
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Wodensman:
Yes, it's unlocked. does this mean I can jump straight to flashing 6.0.1, then straight to 7.1.1?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] ziggy71:
Yes. Flash the hybrid, this will put you on lollipop with mm bootloader. You will lose root, and relock bootloader. Root, unlock bootloader, flash mm rom, flash partial. Then you can flash 7.1.1. Anything that the base firmware is pj2
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] fastjohnson:
Problem is with using that hybrid no A boot firmware you lose wifi and i noticed a slight loss of data connection on network. If that no A boot firmware is in the rom or whatever your trying to flash you lose wifi. Stay on 5.1.1 with all BL intact and use the paulpizz stock rooted debloated rom and youll have all the goods and then you can flash any 6.0 or 7.0 rom you want with everything working. If you flash a 6.0 FW over the no A boot file you lose your BL unlock. Get the wifi working and the xploit will be perfect or get it to run on all BL'S so the wifi works and its game on. Idk about you but wifi is very important.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] ziggy71:
After you flash the rom and the partial, then you have a complete, working phone. I'm using the newest paulpizz on PJ2, and everything works. You only lose wifi during the rooting process.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] fastjohnson:
I did exactly that flashed the hybrid FW then unlocked my BL then flashed the partial FW pj2 and tried Paulpizz rom 6.0 had no WiFi then tried the N7 port and still no WiFi and I looked I was on pj2 maybe I'll try to place it a different folder that the no A boot files are in maybe there conflicting it's pretty easy to retry cause I have the complete twrp back up of the no A boot all set and ready to be run. I'm not trying to condem the way this works.

[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] ziggy71:
After TWRP flash on 6.01, flash mm rom with twrp , reboot to download, not system, flash partial via odin. Wipe dalvik between every step. Reboot system, will take around 10 minutes. I made a drink and watched it. Phone works great. I used the paulpizz rom as my mm rom. Saves a step.

Hi guys, I'm still on PF3 and was running CM13. I switched roms to emotionOS and I see that it requires PJ2. But I was able to get the rom running. I don't know if the it makes a difference running PF3 on it. But how do I upgrade to PJ2? Do I have to unlock and root my phone again? Or I just flash the firmware since I'm already unlocked and rooted?

Just Got My Note 4 Today

hey guys, i just received my Note 4 in the mail today. Its running 6.0.1 baseband v. N910VVRU2CPJ2. Can i follow the directions in O.P to begin? Just want to be sure where to begin. End goal is to root, unlock, recovery, Emotion. Thanks for the help
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] ziggy71:
No, you need to downgrade to 5.1.1, root and unlock, then use this post to upgrade back to 6.0.1
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] abreeden:
thanks for the assistance. Does there happen to be a thread for that? i'm not finding too much info looking around for people already on 6.0.1. can i just odin a stock 5.1.1 tar and be downgraded?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] abreeden:
I completed all steps above. Running rooted 5.1.1 with TWRP installed :) . Where to now? i start again with OP in this thread? Do i need to go to 6.1 to proceed? Thanks for the help again

EDIT

After i flash N910VVRU2BPA1_N910VVRU2CPD1_FullFirmware.tar.md5 (from OP of this thread) via Odin i use kingoroot to root the device again. It then becomes very unstable. Basically once i begin the unlock bootloader process in adb it crashes after i start adb shell. Then it crashes and starts boot looping. Then I'm forced to open odin again, flash N910VVRU2BPA1_N910VVRU2CPD1_FullFirmware.tar.md5 once more and then it crashes after root. rinse / repeat. anyone got any suggestions? i feel like im so close

How can I tell if my bootloader is still unlocked? I had DevEd on 5.1.1. rooted and unlocked BL. Now I'm on 6.1.1. and my CID is still 50100523231384d4100657e54fc1200.

You need to use AP. I assume the file is unzipped, your working with a 6.0.1 unlocked BL, TWRP recovery? I went into recovery, wiped everything except ext sd, where I had my new rom and gapps. Reboot into downloading, flash partial with Odin3 v3.12.3 (run as administrator), untick reboot in options. Power button and volume down, select power off. Reboot into TWRP, flash rom and gapps, wipe dalvik, reboot. It will take about 10 minutes, just let it go. Enjoy

You got it. Everything is right up until being able to flash partial. That's where it kept failing.

[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] RzrBak0402:
I just returned my Note 7, not because I was afraid it would explode but because of an update pushed by Verizon that then "throttled" the battery to allow a max of only 60% charge. They also put in an annoying pop up display anytime I unlocked the phone. I decided to go back to a Note 4 and bought a new/unused one outright from an online dealer. I want to root the Note 4 and put Jasmine ROM on it (I used Jasmine ROM on my previous Note 3).

I'm confused by some of the XDA posts, specifically specifically about the locked boot loader. The phone came with MM 6.0.1 already on it and there have been several OTAs pushed since then. Based on the info below, can anyone tell me if I have my boot loader is locked and if I have to perform the boot loader unlock process before I can root?

Model number: SM-N910V

Version: 6.0.1

Baseband: N910VVRS2CPL1

Kernel version: 3.10.40

Build number: MMB29M.N910VVRS2CPL1

Hardware version: N910V.05

Any info would be helpful. If this has been asked and answered, my apologies!

Thanks.

all n910v are locked by default

you will need to downgrade to lollipop & follow the instructions
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] RzrBak0402:
...not what I was hoping to hear but I really appreciate the confirmation. Seeing as I am not rooted and need to do a full backup, whats the best suggestion in doing so; use Helium (I have premium version) or ADB?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Zacharee1:
I'd use SmartSwitch, root, get to rooted Stock, restore, use TiBu, then flash what you want.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] RzrBak0402:
Thanks Zacharee1. I had SmartSwitch already when I transferred data to the Note 7...just didn't go beyond that and look at the backup piece. I have everything backed up to PC and for good measure, backed up (using Helium) just the app data for a couple important apps as a precaution...I can always download the app again, I just wouldn't be able to get the progression of the games back.

The instructions say to download new KingRoot apk but I also see KingoRoot. Is there any difference or should I stay with Kingroot?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Zacharee1:
KingoRoot has had more success lately, especially in my case where I had to downgrade a Note 4 from Marshmallow. Where KingRoot rooted the one already on Lollipop, only KingoRoot would succeed for the one downgraded from Marshmallow. KingoRoot was also more stable in my experience; KingRoot caused a full crash after a few minutes, while KingoRoot lasted longer with less lag.

Anyone else having trouble downloading the Full

Firmware file? The download has failed twice and the third download so far is at 0.1 GB after 30 minutes.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] povartc2:
I am on 5.1.1. I already unlocked the bootloader and installed the twrp 2.8.5. I just want to upgrade to MM and install a custom rom. I wonder if I had to go through with rooting 5.1.1 by installing the systemonlyN910V 5.1.1 file and the oscarkernel then superSU and so on. I didn't want to download the systemonly file since I have a slow internet connection.

But ziggy71 mentioned rooting 5.1.1. a few pages back. Is it really necessary? I am not sure why I would want to root 5.1.1 first, since I felt like I just need an unlock MM bootloader to install a rooted rom. Can I just flash the BPA/CPDfull tar then gain root with the kingoroot route, then unlock bootloader, flash twrp 3.0.2, then flash a custom rom, then flash partial firmware?

Would you kindly point me in the right direction? Sorry for my ignorance I haven't done the flashing business in a while. Thanks in advance for your help.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] noted2:
I was running 5.1.1 unlocked. Flashed Emotion ROM and it worked with it. Yesterday I realized I should have updated the bootloader to MM. So I ODIN the updated TWRP then I ODIN the Partial Firmware for the unlocked MM bootloader and it worked.

I'm not saying it will work for you that way. Maybe I just got lucky.

Glad it worked for you, I'm a nerd and read a lot.

---------- Post added at 04:41 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:36 PM ----------

That will work because you have an unlocked bootloader. If you are stock retail, locked BL, then you have to downgrade to 5.1.1 because the exploit is closed in MM. If you read the instructions, the first time you run the unlock in adb, it changes the CID to developer, then you run it again, and it unlocks. You can only do this on 5.1.1. Then when you upgrade to MM, it locks the bootloader, but your CID has already been changed to developer, not retail, so you only run unlock once , and you have an unlocked bootloader.

---------- Post added at 04:47 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:41 PM ----------

Check out my last post. Any questions, feel free. I am trying to help the noobs get self sufficient.

Edit: Please make sure everyone checks your file names. In ryanbg's official bootloader unlock, he names his unlock file "unlock_N4", in this thread, hsbadr names his, "samsung_unlock_N4-fix". This is where lots of people are getting hung up. You are pushing one file, and chmod'ing another. That's where the failure happens.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] povartc2:
Thanks a lot. I just want to make sure. So, the answer is I don't have to root 5.1.1 as long as my BL is unlocked with the standard method. My CID would have been changed to the dev one. I can just go ahead and flash the MM and then unlock the bootloader. Then, I'm good to flash a rom?

My phone is already unlocked and rooted on bootloader CPD1 and baseband CPF3. I'm using emotionOS atm and it's running fine. So I just flash the partial firmware via odin and that's it? Or I need to reflash the rom?

[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] ryanbg:
That's partially my fault for the fragmented releases. Some bugs were fixed by beaups and I recompiled and updated the unlock OP with the new binary. This fixes some of the issues people were having with 4.4 and stuff. The unlock binary in the official unlock thread is the one you want to use, however, if you are on 5.1.1 the old one work just fine. Same end result.

[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Renegade_2k:
Good evening guys, I'm using a vzw Note 4 N900V, and I have a currently unlocked bootloader and rooted CPF3 setup, running Jasminerom. Basically, I followed the CM13 post elsewhere in the Forum, and simply stopped at Step 52, as I didn't want CM. The version of Jasmine in that particular post is not like the Jasmine 6.01 that I have on my Note 3 at all, it is basically a base stock version with no xposed or viper, etc. I've been following the Emotion ROM thread for a while, and also looking for a version of Jasmine 7 (or hopefully 8.xx) more like my Note 3. It appears that Jasmine isn't going to get much more love, so Emotion seems to be the best choice after that. I really like [MENTION=5868929]hsbadr[/MENTION]'s roms. I trust his work.

Sooo.. My question is, being on CPF3, where do I start for this Rom install? Again, I'm already on an unlocked bootloader and rooted, with TWRP 3.0.2.0 recovery.. As well, when I boot to a Download mode, Developer is shown. Thanks in advance for your help. :)
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] scott2020:
I can't seem to get root on N910VVRU2BPA1_N910VVRU2CPD1 anymore. I did it once in the past with KingOroot but no matter what I try I can't get it. I did root BPA1 with BPA1 bootloader and ran the script successfully to unlock the bootloader. I'm not sure what I am missing! I'm at BPA1 with unlocked bootloader and root, but I'd like to try a 6.0.1 ROM.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Zacharee1:
Try the KingRoot desktop app, or the KingoRoot desktop app.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] scott2020:
I tried both of those and the APKs. I couldn't get KingoRoot desktop or APK to root BPA1 at all. I finally got the KingRoot APK to work but it isn't getting it on the firmware with the newer bootloader. I also made sure my LTE was OK since Wifi doesn't work with it. Thanks again.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Zacharee1:
So none of them work on the hybrid firmware? I remember I had a device that I downgraded from MM back to LP, so it still had the MM bootloader. It wouldn't root with the mobile versions of KingRoot or KingoRoot, but after a few tries, KingoRoot desktop managed to root it both times. Try a completely clean flash of LP, wipe cache from Recovery, do a factory reset from Recovery, and then try rooting.
