JasmineROM_v7.0_N910VVRU2CPF3.7z

Anyone have an idea why JasmineROM_v7.0_N910VVRU2CPF3.7z won't restore thru TWRP. It shows up when I hit restore but there is no partion information and that why it says it fails after I swipe. I've downloaded it several times. tried it extracted and non extracted, naturally doesn't work when not extracted. TWRP I believe is working fine cause I can restore other backups and the partion info comes up just fine. I figured there would be a part of this method that wouldnt work. Story of my life put in hours of work and get nothing. What a waste of time. I wouldn't mind staying on CPD1 but wifi doesnt work, or was that CPF3. Any help would be much appreciated.

Is this still a viable process? I just picked up a SM-910V on 6.0.1/CQC1 (CID 15) and am wanting to root. I dont need a custom rom etc..., just looking to root. But since there have been updates recently, I was curious if this process (downgrade to 5.1/BPA1 then root) still works, or if there is a better process for rooting newer firmwares like CQC1?

I have the CID beginning with 15 and I'm on 6.0.1. So I'm wondering can I use this guide to unlock my bootloader and flash twrp recovery then flash a different rom? The reason behind a different rom isI saw the bricks from CM and I'm not willing to take this chance.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] maxnuk:
aahh... I tested it with an older version CM13 and it worked... CM14 to CM13 XD

Try with old version CM13, because the new version has different ReleaseKEY !

Having issues right out the gate...

I am trying to root a galaxy note 4 from verizon that was blacklisted last year. This is my very first time every attempting anything like this, on any phone. I have been at it for hours today and several additional hours each day for the past week and a half and I am still failing. Please help. My first attempt, I tried to root the phone with kingroot and it kept failing so I googled the issue and found out that I needed to go about it a whole different way. So, I followed the instructions on an android site, using Odin3, stock firmware, samsung drivers, etc.

At the very first step where you boot up the phone in boot mode, press up, and then in Odin3 add the original firmware, let it do its check and then press start (without partition clicked) and after it does its check, it fails every single time. I don't understand what I am doing wrong here. Can someone please help me?

[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] ARC1993:
Hello, first of all thanks so much for this guide, i was succesful on my first try rooting and installing a custom firmware on my phone. Although instead of CM 13 I installed Lineage OS. After having some stability issues with lineage, i restored to 5.1.1 to try again with CM 13.

But, my issue is that I no longer have access to the tablet that I used initially to format the SD card after unlocking the bootloader.

Does anyone know of a way to correctly format the SD card on a pc? Even after formatting on the pc i get stuck in a bootloop.

Any help is much appreciated!

To Get Wifi!!

"Now repeat steps 9-12 (NewKingRoot should still be in your downloads, but verify anyway) (NOTICE: wifi will NOT work with the CPD1 firmware, but Verizon internet should in case you need internet for some reason, wifi will restore later in guide - Other internet from other providers MIGHT work with proper APN settings)"
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] unclebobfoggy:
I know nobody's posted here for a while, but this is the best guide I've found for n910v so I thought I'd chime in.

- Following guide on SM-N910V

- Got to installing CM13 in TWRP (cm-13.0-20160919)

- First boot hung indefinitely (like I left it overnight) and regardless of reboots, battery pulls, wiping cache, etc.

- Had to step back a level to cm-13.0-20160724 and it now works like a champ.

Just wanted to add: After putzing around for 3 days with some other, less detail oriented guides, this finally set me straight. Thanks again for a very thorough and useful guide.

I cannot get the phone to show up when I type adb devices. Not sure if I'm doing something wrong phone shows up as hard drive when plugged in. I reinstalled Samsung drivers like five times.

Unlock fix

I can't get the unlock fix to work. I can push it to the phone but when I try to execute it after successful root I get no such file or directory. What am I doing wrong?

Finally got past the unlock fix...now i'm stuck on the never ending cm 13 flashing boot
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] pujuois:
format

You can either run diskpart in command prompt or download a program called sd card formatter
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] fbarcenas:
Would it work if I just substituted the latest LineageOS for CM13 at the end?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] tripLr:
I followed all the steps until I got to where I loaded TWRP.

Once you downgrade from 6.xx to 5.1.1 via odin

And Once you have temp root (I used kingroot)

And once you patch the bootloader with the Developer edition

And once you pull the SD card

And once you go into download mode to verify developer edition

And once you load TWRP (I forgot to backup my 5.1.1 and just wiped it... Haha)

Skip everything else, load into TWRP without a SD card,

Do a complete wipe of the phone , reboot into TWRP, so the only thing on your phone is TWRP, wipe again , reboot into download mode, verify developer edition

Your free to put in an SD card with ANY ROM you want that supports TWRP loading

I didn't see the need for redoing another OEM ROM.

Note I used Kingroot, not kingoroot.

The downgrade to 5.1.1 took about an hour for me

The root and patch took me 3 tries, figured out how to use copy paste correctly

And now I am running resurrection remix.

I tried unofficial LineagOS 14 , but setup kept crashing.

I have 4 ROMs on my SD card and will go through each with recovery backups in TWRP for each eventually.

Enjoy

[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] fbarcenas:
Awesome! Thanks. I already installed LineageOS [ROM] [UNOFFICIAL] [7.1.2] LineageOS 14.1 [SM-N910F/G/P/R4/T/T3/V/W8] by jef_00 and ran into a battery drain issue. So I figured that using the MODEM.BIN from the BPA1 lolipop downgrade was not a good idea, so I updated it to CQE1(Marshmellow) and the battery drain issue went away, but I left the bootloader at BPA1 for fear that if I updated it, I would relock the phone to booting stock firmware only. Is this the case? or can I update the bootloader as well now that I am in developer mode without any problems?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] tripLr:
Thanks so much for the compilation of the 4 guides it was a big help.

I had downloaded all the ROMs for my Verizon note 4, running 6.0.1 and was looking forward to beating my head with getting the boot loader unlocked.

I had read a couple of the guides, but yours made it easy.

The basics?

Use Odin to load 5.1.1

Use kingroot to temp root, and patch the boot loader using the fix do this step until the fix says verified ( 2 times for me)

Shut off phone remove SD card

Boot into download mode verify developer edition

Immediately I used ADP to load TWRP

Booted into TWRP

And wiped... I forgot to backup. So I wiped again,

Installed a SD card with the available ROMs.

Tried unofficial lineageos 14, and it replaced the TWRP boot loader and the setup looped so I re applied TWRP via ADP, wiped

And loaded resurrection remix

Elapsed time about 2.5 hrs. Now I have done this I probably could do in less than 1

So everybody , roll up your sleeves and do it.

Thanks to all the work you did on your noob guide . and to all those who figured out how to root 5.1.1 and patch the boot loader.

I followed steps and made it to step 25. But my phone is stuck in a bootloop. It boots to logo screen, sits there for 30 seconds or so, goes black, vibrates 2 times then boots back to logo screen. I can't flash any roms to it either. Odin will say successful, But my rom is still 5.1.1 I would like to just go back to original verizon 6.0.1 rom. Please Help! Im a noob.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] tripLr:
Did u remove the SD card? Sis u ever get to point of flashing with Odin twrp?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] fbarcenas:
I never made it to step 25, as soon as I got TWRP and unlocked the bootloader, I went straight to LineageOS 14.1 and flashed the latest modem(BL_CP) bundle.

I would just go into TWRP wipe System and data and install another ROM.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] tripLr:
All in all this guide is pretty good.

However once you have unlocked the bootloader

And loaded TWRP.

You are done. No need to repeat.

Power off phone, install new SD card that has Roms downloaded onto it

And load your rom

Most ROMs will tell you how to update the modem

Thanks so much

Tested

Resurrection Remix unofficial

LineageOs unofficial

Working on

Modest ROM

N7 port

And whatever else I find.

I got to go buy another 128 GB card just to test roms
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] gserp4sox:
Hi guys, I have a quick question for anyone who can answer this question with certainty.

If I stop after step 42 of the OP guide, would I have a rooted phone with Verizon's stock 6.0.1 N910VVRU2CPD1 firmware?

That's all I want to accomplish, as I'm just looking for root with the Verizon 'Advanced Calling' features, which started on 6.0.1

Thanks
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] dragonsouce:
First Thank you for all the hard work

two errors

1 sd card not showing in TWRP

2 CyanogenMod 13.0 never leaves the boot animation screen ...

Me too. What version were you on before you downgraded. I was on CPF3.

Stuck booting CM13

I started following this guide last night, and until now, KingRoot was the only trouble I had. Spent a couple hours last night trying to get root and it failed dozens of times. Went to bed and in the morning, tried again. KingRoot then prompted about knox security and after that root succeeded!

So I've followed all the instructions to the letter and I'm on step 56.

The guide says to restart after 5 minutes of getting no where, and I've done this multiple times now. The first time I waited 10 minutes, next I waited 30, then 30 minutes again, and still no luck.

Any ideas whats the best course of action to get pass this step?

Right now the phone is connected with USB and has no SD card installed ( step 37 says pull it and no steps say to put it back)
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] redw0od:
UPDATE: After finding some similar posts on previous pages of this thread, I went back to step 45

I downloaded the previous version of CM13, cm-13.0-20160724-UNOFFICIAL-trltevzw.zip and used it instead of the newest release.

This time CM13 loaded up just dandy.

Where do I begin?

Alright guys I've been lurking around for some time now and was hoping to get some help.

This guide is the most thorough and complete so I wanted to ask here though the question may not apply directly. I have the sm-n910v just like the post states but I am already on an unlocked bootloader rooted and running a custom ROM. I am running Modest ROM v9 but want to switch over to cyanogen mod. The only issue is I bought the phone with the ROM preinstalled. So I am not the one who set the phone up. So that being said I don't know where to start. I have read enough to know this isn't something to just jump into without a more thorough understanding so I was hoping you could help me out.

Can I just flash a new ROM over Modest ROM and have it be okay or do I need to start from the beginning?

If so how do I revert back to stock to start the whole process?

Some key terms I would like to have verified...

ROM: More or less this is the system UI right? I know there is probably more to it than that it includes parts of the operating system etc...

Kernel: The bridge between hardware and software runs the physical part of the phone.

Modem: Part of the kernel. Kind of like the drivers I guess?

I understand that this is a rough understanding. I am not a developer and don't need a deep understanding but these terms are thrown around a lot and I never quite know if I am safe to flash a ROM because often the instructions don't reference a specific kernel or modem and since I didn't flash my phones current ROM I am unsure what I am running or If I need to change it. If anyone could take a crack at helping me out I would appreciate it!

I understand the disclaimer. I understand the risk involved in flashing a phone and am willing to accept it. I am good at following instructions and problem solving and am familiar with the flashing process as I have done it before just not on this device. Just needed a little more direction.

Thanks in advance!
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] kevintm78:
Ah, you're leaving me.:crying:

If you're already running modest rom which is a marshmallow rom (6.0.1) then you have a 6.0.1 bootloader already installed which is a good thing. Instead of running cm13 or 14 you may want to consider either the resurrection remix rom, lineage OS, or the emotion OS rom all found in this section. Only because they have received more recent updates.

Other than that you're not very far off in your thought process. The rom is the operating system, the kernel is a translator between the hardware and the software, and the modem is what handles all the transmissions from your phone to the network.

You'll always want to run the most recent modem (currently CQI2), but anything will work as long as your using a 6.0 modem. Which you should be if your on v9 on modest. Here's the link to the CQI2 modem. If I we're you I would go ahead a flash that using Odin and putting that file in the AP slot in Odin.

After that, download your rom of choice to your sdcard. Boot into Twrp, go to wipe, then advanced wipe. Check the dalvik-cache, cache, system, and data boxes then swipe to wipe. I usually do that twice just for good measure.

Then go to install and find your rom zip and install it. The rom that you download will include the kernel. If you download a rom that is intended for another model note 4 ie 910F then you'll have to download a compatible kernel. But if you're in the verizon development section that's not really necessary.

The only other thing you may have to do (only if you have errors flashing those roms) is downloading and flashing the latest TWRP version. Found here
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] Oxika95:
Oh wow I wasn't expecting a response directly from you! As to why I am leaving, I am having stability issues. My phone ran modest ROM just fine for the first month or so but has since slowed down drastically. The OS detects constant bug issues and apps crash regularly. Most notably youtube as it seems to be video playback that is having most of the issues. During streams or playback the video will simply cut out and the screen goes black. The app has to think for a bit before responding and then the video will restart from the beginning. Video playback is not the only issue though as other apps and games crash and the screen will frequently become unresponsive as if it's frozen though if audio is playing it keeps running just fine in the background. Often trying to wake the screen will simply delay for a minute or two. Like I said I didn't flash the ROM myself so I cannot verify if it was done correctly. My two assumptions were either it was a bad flash or the ROM performed poorly. Either way, I would need to reflash so I started by looking for a very concise guide online and found myself here.

I would be happy to work with you if this is a bug issue and more than willing to have back and forth conversations if your up for it I would apreciate the help and maybe I will stay with modest ROM. Also I kind of realize this conversation sits outside of the intent of this thread so if we need to move somewhere else that would be fine sorry for the clutter.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] kevintm78:
I was just kidding around, but if you are interested in staying with a stock-ish rom the latest version of modest rom doesn't appear to have those issues. At least none that I've noticed anyway.

does this guide require an sd card? or can i use internal sd
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] Oxika95:
An SD card is highly recomended as you will be wiping partitions on internal storage frequently. Its a good place to store backups as well as flashable content when you have TWRP up and running. Pearsonally I would not make an attempt at this without one. Luckilly SD cards are getting cheaper by the day.

Sandisk 64GB Micro SD

Great guide

Hi im already rooted with twrp and im on cyangenmod 14 , how do i go to cyangenmod 13 from 14 without bootloop? Do i need to follow this well written long guide or can i just flash a new kernal and cyangenmod 13? Reasoning i wanna downgrade is the theme engine also im not interested in any other theme engines i wanna use the one i made .

steps 22-25 were a pain in the ass, after kingroot granted root adb would not recognize the phone or some other stupid issue, but i finally got it.

If i stick with jasminerom can i still install xposed? i tried, but the phone would not boot after installing xposed zip through twrp. any way to make this work?

which version of cm13 did you use? if you used cm-13.0-20160919 it did not work for me. Try cm-13.0-20160724, that one works forsure.

stuck in a bootloop

FWIW, when you downgrade to 5, you need to go into recovery and do a full wipe after running odin - even if the phone wasn't even connected to a google account, no apps, etc.

Yeah, I missed that step. (duh!)

[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] Shizzle2889:
Alright, been going through some issues in trying to root this where I continually soft brick my phone and end up having to re-do the whole process. At this point, it appears the only way to fix the brick now is in using the verizon software upgrade assistant. With this, it has boosted me from 5.1.1 to 6.0.1. Afterwards, trying to downgrade back to 5.1.1 (wipe cache, wipe data, odin flash to 5.1.1 firmware), however after this process, I end up right back in a bricked state. With this, the phone boots up and brings up the Samsung Galaxy Note 4 splashscreen, sits there for a decent length of time. After which, it goes into a consistent reboot cycle where it never even gets to the Verizon splashscreen. I am 99% sure that the FW file is correct as I have been using it in my rooting attempts previously and was consistently working. Anyone have any idea why all of a sudden it is putting me into this bricked mode?

Also note that I ended up in this bricked mode originally from 5.1.1 and that the only thing I have tried that has worked so far is the Verizon application which automatically upgrades to the 6.0.1. Any pointers on this would help a bunch. Thank you.

Step 25

Hi,

I was doing OK until step 25. "After the last command it may prompt you to type yes, do so immediately. it won't write on the screen but type yes anyway for it to continue. Once it's done it should automatically start to reboot your phone. Unplug it and pull the battery, wait 5 seconds, put battery back in and plug the phone back in."

Once it started rebooting I unplug it and remove battery, but when I start it again it keeps rebooting on boot screen and doesnt start OS.

Any help?
