Stops responding at which point? Right when you select the file? That's completely normal. It's checking the integrity of the file, and since the extracted size is over 4GiB, it's going to take a while. Let it sit for at least a minute.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] mwebb34:
Yes about 2 secs after I click the pda button. The Odin window shows (stop responding) then soon after that a box appears and asks if I wanna close or wait on program.

I will try it again and wait a little longer this time. I didn't know that was normal.

Now after I flash the 5.1.1 tar I can reboot and run it for awhile until I learn how to root and unlock the bootloader correct?

Here I go gonna try again.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Zacharee1:
Oh. If it says it stopped working, just choose the option to wait.

Perfectly normal, and annoying.

You should be able to use it as long as you want before you root and unlock.

Good luck.

Just to be sure I do put the tar file in the AP section right?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Zacharee1:
Shouldn't be that long. Redownload ODIN and use another USB port. AP is the right option.

Doing what? 3.11.1 or the newest version should be fine. 3.10.7 is probably recommended because it was the latest version at the time.

Rollback from MM

This is my firsr time posting, i usually just read and learn but cant find an answer. I did the bootloader unlock on my note 4 to get cid ******c41200 and is verified, however i got distracted on the reboot and the MM ota went through, now kingroot will not temproot but i retain the new cid above, am i still able to root or rollback and root? I do see a couple posts on this matter that says one can rollback but they are outside of xda forums.

There should be no output when running cd, as you're just changing directories. The prompt should just change to show the new directory.

Use KingoRoot desktop instead.

Does kingoroot give perm root or temp? And do I have to wipe my device before I use kingoroot do i have to uninstall king root?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Zacharee1:
KingoRoot desktop.

It's the same exploit afaik, but it's more stable in my experience. There is no permanent root for the Note 4 VZW if the bootloader is locked.

[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Zacharee1:
You shouldn't have to remove the md5. That's recognized by Odin, unless you aren't flashing with PDA/AP.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] mwebb34:
I'm flashing with pda. And I swear to you I had to remove the md5 at the end before Odin would flash the tar. Odin keep crashing before I removed the .md5 after I removed it it flashed just fine!

I am running N910VVRU2BPA1_N910VVRU2CPD1_FullFirmware I need to flash another rom because of the wi-fi issue. I try and flash roms in TWRP and phone just reboots. can anybody help me with this problem?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] vipersinu2:
FMXP wrote this, confirmed working,

Well for anyone who reads this, I found the solution. By default, I can't use my external SD card for anything. Once I copied the files to the internal SD I was able to flash things.

Also it seems that I had to root the device first by forcing SuperSU to flash using FlashFire before it was going to accept any flashes, I don't think TWRP specifically requires you to have Android rooted but probably it set up directories or permissions or something by doing that.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Bon3zz1001:
Hi, I'm hoping that somebody can point me in the right direction... I unlocked the bootloader and rooted my phone more than a month ago on 5.1.1 and installed CM13. I finally decided to stop being lazy and upgrade to 6.0 but I'm not sure which guide in the general section to follow after flashing the firmware in the original post. Thanks.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Zacharee1:
Just flash TWRP and then any MM based ROM.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Bon3zz1001:
So I don't need to reroot the phone or unlock the bootloader again? I was just trying to follow the original post so I just want to make sure before I do this. Sorry if I seem like an idiot, it's been awhile since I've messed with this stuff.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Zacharee1:
Well if you follow the OP, you'll see that it says to reroot and unlock again, then flash TWRP :p
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Bon3zz1001:
That's what I was asking before.

Should I follow this guide? http://xdaforums.com/note-4-verizon/general/guide-step-step-stock-n910v-6-0-1-to-t3426905

If so should I just start from step 32 or should I just redo the whole thing again from step 1?

[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] nh97103:
So I've done this process, but want to flash back to 4.4.4 because that's the last place I had decent battery life (I'm barely getting four hours right now). Unfortunately, Odin keeps failing when I try to flash the full firmware. Any ideas..?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Zacharee1:
Not really the place to ask this, but did you unlock the bootloader before trying? What's the error you're getting?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Sir_Furious:
I've got a bad feeling that I did something wrong. Not sure, but I think I'm only soft bricked at this point, so not too afraid.

I tried to flash the BPA1-CPD1 tar in the AP slot. It failed in ODIN, showing "SECURE CHECK FAIL : apnhlos" on the last line of the phone.

I'm downloading the BPA1-BPA1 now as a potential restore, but... Anybody got an idea of what I did incorrectly?

EDIT: I finished this download, and attempted to flash it. I now get the same error, but with "aboot" as the issue. :END EDIT

N910V Retail edition, previously unlocked and rooted on the BPA1 firmware, running JasmineROM.

(I miss the days of my S4. Moto-chop it and go. *sigh*)
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Zacharee1:
Find BPA1 stock and flash it or use the VZ Repair Assistant (Kies might work too) to flash to 5.1.1. It kind of sounds like you didn't unlock your bootloader before trying the hybrid firmware.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Sir_Furious:
VZW Repair has gotten me to stock recovery I believe, but it doesn't complete.

I've tried the BPA1 stock, no success, even with the provided PIT.

I had the unlocked bootloader from before. I know that I've probably lost it at this point, which is fine. Just want to get stuff back up and running.

Odin continues to fail. I've separately flashed the kernel and recovery to try and get it stock, but it always fails at the end, showing "aboot" as the point of failure.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Zacharee1:
Research the exact error.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Sir_Furious:
Finally back up and running. Turns out my USB root hub was dying, and cut the transfer mid-process. That's why the Kernel and Recovery flashes seemed to work; they transferred before a disconnect.

At this point, I've finished all of the steps above successfully, except for the actual ROM installation from TWRP.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Reasondow:
First of all, I must thank you all for the effort and work put into this and please forgive if this a bit of a noob post.

My note 4 is currently running N910VVRU2BPA1, twrp-2.8.5.0-trltevzw, SuperSU-v2.65-20151226141550, Emotion-TW-5.1.1-nightly-r21-RC1-SM-N910P, and xposed-v84.0-sdk22-arm-custom-build-by-wanam.

The only reason I want to even attempt this MM update is to be able to install Magisk, run a systemless root and xposed, and pass SafetyNet checks so that I can play Pokemon GO while maintaining root and my wanam mods.

Now, I can remove SuperSU simply by a full removal in the app itself, but removing the custom version of xposed has become far more troublesome than it's worth to me to diagnose. That said, I just want to move on to a stock rom without losing my custom recovery.

If I'm going to upgrade to MM by using this guide, I'd want to return to a stock N910VVRU2CPD1 or CPF3 after gaining TWRP and performing a complete wipe of the phone.

Alternatively, I'd like to flash BPA1 in twrp-2.8.5.0-trltevwz to return to a stock firmware so I can pass SafetyNet and install Magisk.

My question is, will the "Stock Restore" versions of the firmwares in forum.xda.developers.com/note-4-verizon/development/firmware-firmware-modem-recovery-t2942937 be able to be flashed via TWRP to return to a stock system while retaining an unlocked bootloader and custom recovery?

TLDR - Can I flash the "Stock Restore" firmwares in forum.xda.developers.com/note-4-verizon/development/firmware-firmware-modem-recovery-t2942937 to return to stock TW 5.1.1/6.0.1 ROM with TWRP after unlocking the bootloader via the OP instructions?

Please HALP! Thanks :)

You don't need to unlock the bootloader to flash the stock restore. That's an official image and will flash fine either way.

The unlock process basically soft bricks the SD card. You need to completely wipe it and setup a new partition table, etc.

Did you verify the md5 on the TWRP download?

If everything else is right you may have a bad download.

Do you have developer mode when you boot into download mode?

I did verify the md5, but the Mode: Developer does not show up. The system status shows custom with reactivation lock off. How do I get it to recognize it as in developer mode?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] gadget!:
The unlock process never took then.

More than likely due to unstable root.

When you ran the adb commands did you get to the point where you had to type "yes"?

And did your phone reboot automatically when finished?

I had a real hard time my first time, I would lose root before the adb commands were finished.

There is a thread by doctor-cool that has a slightly different order of doing things. Find that thread and look at it, that may help you get through the process.

Root Gone. TWRP gone. WiFi gone

Hi #hsbdr

I have Retail Edition Verizon note 4

I wanted to install PaulPizz MM

I was already using PaulPizz 5.1.1 for the last several months. So I skipped the first step on your first page post. Which was to Unlock bootloader as I was already on N910VVRUBPA1.

I started straight from the second step:

[Boot into Download Mode

Extract and flash N910VVRU2BPA1_N910VVRU2CPD1_FullFirmware.tar.md5 via Odin]
​

Did this alright.

I prepared a memory card with Kingroot and root checker.

Installed & ran kingroot. Tried atleast 12-15 times. Most times it kept rebooting in the rooting process. Some times that it didnt, the phone became very unstable and didnt respond and rebooted atfer a couple of minutes. 2-3 times it mentioned phone rooted and showed that tick mark. I went to root rights in Kingroot and made Titanium and Root checker to be allowed root rights 'always'

But each time the root checker said that it hasnt rooted properly.

Read somewhere that I should try to use Titanium to freeze as many Knox processes. But Titanium also couldnt run as it didnt see root.

So here I am - I am able to use the phone, with all the installations I had before I started. But no wifi, root gone, TWRP gone.

I am unable to move further with the balance following steps:

[Unlock the bootloader using the same method:

Boot into Download Mode

Extract and flash twrp-3.0.2-0-trltevzw.tar.md5 via Odin

Boot into TWRP recovery

Flash MM Safe Upgrade, JasmineROM v6.0, CM13 or any MM ROM]
​

Quite frustrating.

Any help would be highly appreciated.

Thanks in advance

I had the same issues trying to root my Verizon N910V, your description is exactly the same issues as I had.

I followed a slightly modified process (link below), I didn't even bother to use Root Checker until I finished the process of unlocking the bootloader.

The process starts the adb commands before even trying to root then finishes after root access is gained. The window of stability is very short apparently and getting the adb commands completed before the phone becomes unstable is the key.

Also, I couldn't get Kingroot to work on my phone. I had to use KingoRoot.

To speed up the adb commands, I had a text file opened with the commands so that I could copy and paste them into the command window.

Try kingoroot. I had the same problem with kingroot. I just uninstalled kingroot and ran kingoroot. Didn't know if it would work but it did. I also had my phone already hooked to my pc with command prompt open while I was doing it so I could start running the script right away. As soon as it said "successfully rooted" I started with adb. I didn't even run root checker, and it worked. Anyway, that's what worked for me. Good luck to you.
