Apps missing in Settings

So, I spent 6 hours last night and eventually got Marshmallow installed (lots of boot looping). Anyways, I can't for the life of me, find 'Apps' in Settings so I can set permissions and stuff. I have 'Application Settings', but it only contains things like Call, Contacts, Email, Gallery, Internet, Messages, Calendar and S-Voice. I feel that I've looked everywhere, but cannot find the elusive Application Manager.

This is where I used Flash Fire to do a full system backup to external SD card, then used Flash Fire to dirty flash the full Sammobile 6.0.1 VZW firmware. Do not allow flash over recovery or boot loaders. Everything worked perfectly after this.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] glen5678:
FlashFire didnt work for me. It started, then confirmed if I wanted to flash modem and firmware, then started loading system, then eventually ended on a black screen with status light blinking in upper left corner.... :(
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] AstonsAndroid:
Sorry, I wasn't more specific. I only flashed the defaults minus the boot and recovery. This would then have flashed only the System and Cache partitions.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] glen5678:
OIC...

I'll try it again...playing with PaulPizz and Jasmine ROMs now...Lol
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] SlothlyDX:
What rom are you on? I'm on jasmine rom 7.0 and application manager is there. I believe I saw it on paulpizz too. Hopefully you found it
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] :
I'm at a loss. I tried to start from scratch by going back to LL using Odin. Everything works fine during install. During boot, it loops at the verizon screen over and over. I tried clearing cache and pulling battery and everything. I am at a loss.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] SlothlyDX:
Remove your SD card
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] :
The problem is that I use Odin to roll back to lollipop. It goes through just fine. Stock firmware and everything. After it is done,the phone will reboot like it normally does then load Samsung then verizon. It will stay there for a good 5 minute then restart and loop at verizon over and over with or without an SD card and no special files anything. So I can't get back to lollipop to start over again.

This does not work for me. I get boot loop at verizon when downgrading using Odin. Everything install fine but it bootloops so I cannot downgrade to start over.

I don't know what to tell you. It's the only method available.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] glen5678:
Have you tried loading MultiSystem Kernel via TWRP?

After you unlock your BL and install TWRP, etc... the stock kernel freaks out and usually sticks on Verizon logo then bootloops....

Did I miss the safe upgrade for the latest 6.0.1?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] x-amp:
Went ahead and used the FlashFire app. I was missing the App Manager and unable to send MMS messages and texts were failing intermittently. Flashed the System and cache partitions from the Sammobile firmware and now everything works like it should and am still rooted.

I've seen variations of this question asked but not exactly what I am wondering. I am currently on 6.01 ROOTED CyanogenMod 13, but on BPA1. I'd like to switch to Jasmine. Do I need to update the bootloader?

Do I have to use Odin?

I'm already on CPD1 baseband and CPF3 build running CM13. I have TWRP 3.X installed. Do I still need to use Odin to flash this ROM or can I do it in TWRP?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] doctor-cool:
I followed your example with FlashFire and flashed MM system + Cache partitions on top of hsbadr's Safe Upgrade to MM. It worked and did what you said plus it removed the Quick connect and S finder junk from the Notification bar. Good Work! I am trying to repeat the process on a different phone with the least amount of steps coming from Retail 5.1.1 . right now.:good:
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] AstonsAndroid:
The only issue I have found since this flash is the Mobile Hotspot fails to start. Can you verify this is an issue with yours?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] douger1957:

Reactivation lock?

Thanks for letting me know about Flashfire. Really great app. The only thing I notice is not working is reactivation lock. Is that working for you? I do like to leave that on.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] mwebb34:
why is it that when im after i have downloaded the MM full firmware odin does not see the tar file? i have even tried to copy and past it and it does not work. I have been trying to get this to work for along time and odin simply doesnt see the tar file....

---------- Post added at 09:06 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:02 AM ----------

whats the easiest way to upgrade to MM from LL without having to flashing 500 different things??? Im rooted and unlocked on 5.1.1 and wanting to switch to MM which tar file do i download and how can i get odin to reconize the tar because im having trouble getting it to see the tar. and 7zip wont let me extract it also the download says its 2gb but only 1.93gb downloads
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] AstonsAndroid:
I wouldn't bother with reactivation lock for any scenario, it shouldn't work on a rooted device and it/is:

1. Easy to bypass

2. Only causes problems for yourself if you forget to disable it before flashing

3. Anyone who knows how to flash a new ROM, which is what it's designed to prevent, can bypass it flashing an older ROM anyway

4. You've lost your phone anyway, they're not gonna give it back because they can't use it

Thank
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] mwebb34:
Just figured I would let everyone know why I was having so much trouble flashing the LP tar. I didn't realize it but I was trying to flash it with .md5 attached to the tar file. I didn't know that I was supposed to delete the .md5. Anyway I'm not rooted but my BL is unlocked. I'm not wanting to root on LP. My question is I apologize for asking. If I wanna upgrade to MM I flash the LP to MM firmware correct? I don't have to root if I wanna upgrade I just need the unlocked BL right? Also after I flash the LP to MM firmware my bootloader will still be unlocked right? But if I reboot and wipe everything after I flash the LP to MM firmware then I'll have a locked bootloader? I'm asking just to be sure that I'm understanding the OP correctly.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] AstonsAndroid:
Correct. If you have followed the instructions to Flash the Appropriate LP firmware and unlock the bootloader here.

Then you are ready to finish the steps listed on page one of this post, and I quote hsbadr

"1. Reboot to Download Mode (press and hold Home + Power + Volume Down)

2. Connect phone and wait until you get a blue sign in Odin

3. Add the N910VVRU2CPD1_StockRestore.tar.md5 file to AP / PDA

4. Make sure re-partition is NOT ticked

5. Click the start button, sit back & wait a few minutes

6. Reboot into recovery (press and hold Home + Power + Volume Up)

7. Wipe data (Factory Reset)

8. Reboot to system"

If you have any other issues they have probably already been discussed in this thread.

Cheers!

[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Orange Offizier:
Great work Hsbadr, this upgrade fixed every issue I was having with my note. Any updates/word on the PF3 safe upgrade?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] AstonsAndroid:
PF3 Safe Upgrade Continued...

From 2016.07.02:20:06 CST Tested!

Step One: Use FlashFire to flash Verizon 6.0.1 ROM allowing it to dirty flash the the N910VVRU2CPD1 from SamMobile 2016-06-28	USA (Verizon)	6.0.1	N910VVRU2CPD1	N910VVZW2CPD1 USE Defaults (minus Bootloaders and Recovey) (You should be flashing only System and Cache!) it returns a perfect Verizon Note 4 Developer Edition 6.0.1 with OTA Capability.

Step Two download N910VVRU2CPF3 OTA update through your phone and let FlashFire handle it with defaults. It allows only the update to the system , maintains your recovery, root and protects the unlocked boot-loader, your now on the latest firmware fully supported by Verizon, Developer Edition. Magic?

Untested!

Today, you could probably just insert N910VVRU2CPF3_N910VVZW2CPF3_VZW into step one and eliminate the need for step two. Let me know how this works.:cool:
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] mwebb34:
So I root I'm already unlocked after I root do I just download the stock MM tar and copy it to my SD card? And after I do that I just simply flash it with flash fire, and I'll still be rooted and unlocked but I'll be on MM? Did I understand you correctly?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] edjahman:
I flashed the CPD1 firmware and then I tried to flash TWRP and now somehow the bootloader became locked again and I can't ODIN back to anything or flash anything. I can't unlock the bootloader either. I get a de-verity fail in recovery, which is stock now.

King root and kingoroot fail at around 50% when I try to unlock the bootloader again.

Any suggestions? Anyone?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] AstonsAndroid:
Sorry so late I have been rooting VZW Note 7 all day. You should be able to root and unlock the bootloader with the Kingroot on CPD1. it is not a clean process (won't confirm root) but it should still work for bootloader unlock. If not attempt the following again:

Extract and flash N910VVRU2BPA1_N910VVRU2CPD1_FullFirmware.tar.md5 via Odin

This will make you on Lollipop with Marshmallow bootchain/firmware/modem, which is rootable.

Root your device (Check General Section for detailed instructions)

Note that WiFi will not work due to the updated bootloader, but you can use Mobile data if needed for rooting.

Unlock the bootloader using the same method:
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] edjahman:
Thank you for the reply. I managed to re root and re unlock.

[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Jyosua:
Doesn't that require root? I was on kitkat, so I was forced to install a ROM, root, unlock bootloader, install another ROM, root, unlock the bootloader again, before installing this ROM and factory resetting. I don't have root with this install and I'm not sure I know of a permanent root solution. I don't think Kingo Root is permanent?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] android-incredible:
yes you need root. you can try this.

[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] thewayofwright:
SOLVED

I [WAS] in a bind. I had an unlocked DE that was safe firmware to PF3 and was doing fine w/ CM13 until I lost LTE. I tried to downgrade, failed. I thought to do a full install of PF3 that is marked as safe, but in ODIN I chose the wrong file. I had the stock/locked tar next to the safe tar.

I downgraded to 5.1.1 and rooted w/ Kingoroot. However, any and all restarts w/ the first pass of samsung_unlock_n4-fix lead to bootloops at the red verizon loading screen.

Playing around I flashed the TRLTE_USA_VZW pit and the bundled N910VVRU2BPA1 tar files. This somehow repaired the bootlooping ed verizon screen while leaving the system/data partitions that I set up initially w/ kingoroot and samsung_unlock_n4-fix intact. Rerunning the unlock process was a little tricky in that running kingoroot a second time (no matter how many times) was stuck at %90. However, I just muddled through it w/ ADB and although loading the SU command took a very long time, it all worked and I was able to unlock the phone.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Jyosua:
FYI, the debloater worked for me, because this ROM is on the May security patch, so it still works. Thank you so much!

Also, for anyone else who was using visual voicemail: the Verizon app does not support Marshmellow for this phone, for whatever the reason. I was able to set up visual voice mail using Google Voice Lite, which simply redirects unanswered calls Google's voicemail service without changing or porting your number. Not ideal to have to use a different service, but to be honest, it works better than Verizon's did anyhow.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] freduser:
I'm running the N-seven rom and have run into an issue with 4g dropping out and not coming back. I would like to flash back to the stock image with root to see it I can resolve the issue and then possibly try another rom. Would this bring everything back to stock so I can rule out any potential rom based problems and still retain root without multiple extra steps?

It appears this is just the stock rom rooted so I would expect this will resolve my issues, just wondering if anyone else has tried this as a means of getting back to a workable/stable 4g state.

Thank in advance for any replies.

Checking on SW revs

This process specifically uses BETA-SuperSU-v2.74-2-20160519174328.zip.

Questions

?? Does this Beta SuperSU contain the kernel etc. patches, or installing the kernel is additional steps? Is it just this SuperSU rev that has the patches, so this is the one that must be used?

?? After the full process is done (running CQI2, rooted, some version of TWRP), may I simply do a Play store update to SuperSU Pro without messing anything up?

?? Basically the same question for TWRP revs. I have TWRP 3.0.2 running with BPA1 5.1.1 currently. The latest is 3.2.1. May I update TWRP to 3.2.1 as part of this process (where it says to install 3.0.2)?

?? The instructions in post #30 have evolved over time and reference different revs of Odin. May I just use v3.11.1 for all Odin steps?

thx,

So I'm at the "install the rom of your choice" step in:

https://xdaforums.com/note-4-verizon/development/howto-bootloader-unlock-upgrade-to-t3398144

Was looking at Jasmine but looks like there are all sorts of issues with things working right so if possible, I'd rather stick to stock firmware even with Verizon bloat as long as I can root it.

Is 2.74 still the version of supersu I should use or will the latest release do it?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] sorka95032:

That's for the stock restore, not N910VVRU2CPF3_N910VVZW2CPF3_VZW.

---------- Post added at 01:11 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:04 PM ----------

Step one relative to what with the OP's steps?

Is this step one AFTER following the steps in post #1?

The steps in #1 don't leave you with a rooted device. I still have to root and it looks like some are succeeding by installing supersu with TWRP first.

Due I need to install a multi system kernel first?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] sorka95032:
So at any rate, I went ahead and just followed the steps in post #1 and then installed supersu 2.74 via twrp. Rebooted and have confirmed root. Wifi works but as others complained the application manager is missing.

Not a huge deal.

Next I'll make a full TWRP backup and move onto FlashFire and the finishing steps outlined in post #57. I've been creating TWRP backups at each of the major steps in case I have to start over without having to due everything from scratch.

---------- Post added at 04:12 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:16 PM ----------

FlashFire seemed to go without a hitch. The only thing I'd point out is:

1) It took forever to reboot. The "optimizing apps" stage took about 10 minutes.

2) SuperSU said it needed to update it's binary. I declined and root checker still showed root. I then went ahead and updated the SU binary and rebooted and it's all still fine.

Application Manager is back and everything so far appears to work.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] sorka95032:
OK, well I do have one issue. I still only have basband version CPD1 instead of CPF3. The CPD1 had some fixes to the major radio dropping issues in BPA1, but the best fix is still in CPF3 and I'm still experiencing some service droppage while driving but nowhere near as bad as BPA1.

So my build shows CPF3 but the baseband version shows CPD1. Does ANYONE here who has successfully done this have a CPF3 baseband??
