This method is definitely working with PG1? I can't get it to work. I follow the steps in ODIN and it seems to take and the phone immediately reboots. I try do VOL UP POWER HOME as soon as the first screen pops up after flashing TWRP but it always just does a regular reboot. Then, if I power off the phone and Boot the phone with VOL UP HOME POWER it will boot into recovery but the stock recovery. I'm missing something small here or PG1 isn't rootable. Thats the conclusion I've come to
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note5] tdunham:
The instructions say to uncheck reboot.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note5] SantinoInc:
Skooled by TD once again! You're right, I didn't follow the instructions as closely as I thought I did! Got into TWRP!

So I am assuming you were able to root PG1? Were you able to install MOAR 4.1 with PG1? Does the hotspot work?

I am getting my Note 5 in a couple days and don't know what version is on there but Im already reading up and getting ready to customize this bad boy!

Mahalo!

I'm trying to restore back to stock and i must be missing something, after odin and i reboot it it starts to install and goes up to about 40% then it starts erasing and boots ups to the failed android symbol. what am i missing? should i check repartition in odin to see if that fixes it?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note5] Slypnslyde:
[MENTION=1042140]tdunham[/MENTION] do you have the latest firmware for h
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note5] Nickitt:
Thanks [MENTION=1042140]tdunham[/MENTION] very much appreciated.

I recently (about a weem ago), unrooted and went to stock because I picked up a gear s2 and couldn't get it to work with your 8/28/16 latest and greatest Rom. Since then I feel like the Gear Manager just wasn't up to date.

Re rooting here in the next hour and am glad you put this together because I miss your Rom so much!

Love the guide. You're the best Dev the Note 5 users have.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note5] djxn40:
Been out of the loop for a while guys. I come back and my phone is way outdated. Is bh9 the newest firmware. I tried Samobile but my phone isn't working so good
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note5] ycats:
there was an update yesterday, BPJ2
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note5] tdunham:
It's been out for a while.

Just a heads up, updating to PJ2 locks the firmware at that level.

You will not be able to flash any of the available stock firmware tarballs with odin and the PJ2 tarball is not available yet and may not be for a while.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note5] sinisin:
Does it do any other nasty things?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note5] chrisr713:
I am on PJ2, can i still root and install custom rom and/or custom kernal on my stock note5? Does this just mean if i run into problems that i wont beable to go back to stock? Should i wait or is it safe for me to flash my phone?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note5] tdunham:
Yes everything still works. Installing custom recovery will trip knox, nothing new there but tripping knox kills off the ability to use Pay, always has so nothing new there either. I may release a TWRP flashable version of stock PH9 but no going back using odin to stock once on PJ2 until a full tarball is released of that version. It could take a month or more before we see it (PJ2); full tar releases are always very slow to release.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note5] djxn40:
Thanks for putting up pj2 T.D... I upgraded to it today and reinstalled Moar. Everything running smooth. I couldn't think of a reason not to upgrade or a reason I would need to go backwards.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note5] ycats:
Seriously considering rooting my Note-5 by following the instructions outlined in this thread. However, before I begin, is there an app that I can install prior to rooting that will back up all of my text messages and then be able to restore those after the rooting process/hard resetting is completed? I've used Titanium backup on previous phones but that only works if the phone is rooted.

Update: I did install Titanium Backup and although not rooted, it allowed me to backup those items.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note5] ycats:
Was able to get to the TWRP recovery screen, however, forgot to place the SuperSU file on the device. How can I get it there via adb?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note5] tdunham:
You don't need adb, twrp mounts storage natively so you should able to copy to the phone once the driver updates.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note5] ycats:
Well, I rebooted to system from TWRP, but in a loop................only way to get out is power off. If you can walk me through it, that would be most helpful. The SuperSU file is on my PC.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note5] tdunham:
Reflash twrp, if you rebooted the phone it wont work. You have to boot directly into twrp from download mode.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note5] ycats:
thanks, once I get back into recovery, what's the next step?

update: I'm in TWRP recovery..............plugged into my pc, got the file over to my device

installed the SuperSu file, all is good.

I unchecked everything I was supposed to and I made sure everything was done right?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note5] tdunham:
Yes.

After flashing TWRP with odin, you have to reboot directly from odin into recovery. If stock recovery is being restored, you missed something keep trying.

TWRP Question ivolving rooting problems

Dear all, I tried to root my new Note 5 and after some struggling was able to install TWRP.

The good news is that after some struggles I was able to install TWRP 3.1.0-0, and seem to be able to access all its programs (including downloading, mount, wipe, install, file manager, adb sideload). The awful news is I cannot reboot the system, and I am still not rooted.

Is there a way for me to complete the installation by installing Supersu or Magisk, or something else, usung adb sideload with my Mac? Or is there another solution? Can / should I wipe everything and do a factory reset?

Thanks so much!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note5] sinisin:
Did you wipe the phone? It sounds like you have no ROM.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note5] AlvinT:
UPDATE: All is well with my phone

I am not at all sure what was wiped ... it just wouldn't leave the TWRP. But after struggling with stuff on the net and learning stuff that I may well never use again (fastboot, adb sideload) I now have a working, ROOTED Note 5 with Android 7.0.

There;s a lesson here but I'm not sure I learned it.

Best to all!!!!

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note5] AlvinT:
NEW problem rooting my SM-920P Samsung Note 5

I thought I followed tdunham's excellent `instructions precisely. Here's where I am

Starting with what I think is the newest Android 7.0: N920PVPS3QDF1 (installed by my local Sprint store after I brought it in, bricked... my stupidity, I think I bricked it by turning off OEM unlock)

Knox v 2.7.1

Turned on developer mode, enabled USB debugging and OEM Unlock

Downloaded Odin 3.11,1, twrp-3.1.0-0-nobleltespr.tar.md5, downloaded Magisk v13.1.zip to my android storage

Let me be careful here: what I did was powered down phone, opened Odin on PC, booted phone in download mode, connected phone to PC via USB cable, then used Odin recovery file above (twrp-3.1.0-0-nobleltespr.tar.md5) to download to phone .

Re-partition & Auto Reboot were NOT ticked

Odin checked the md5, and after a very short time got a PASS on the recovery image

BUT

The download screen never completed. See attached pictures of the screens

What am I missing? Is there some incompatibility between the various versions and my new Nougat QF! software?

Any help is ever so greatly appreciated!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note5] sinisin:
You have to reboot the phone manually at this point in to recovery. So hold vol down power and home to reboot out of download and then immediately hold vol up power and home to get it in to recovery. If you don't get it in to recovery the stock one will be reflashed at first boot and you'll have to start all over.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note5] AlvinT:
Wow. Thanks so much! It works now :)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note5] gpshemi:
My phone unfortunately took QF1 this weekend. I was typing when the warning came up, and boom...away it went. AlvinT, So are you saying you rooted from QF1 with no issues?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note5] :
You got blocked by FRP? I had that problem too, twice last saturday! So I'm gonna stay on DQE1 because I'm now afraid of the newest build. I couldn't deodex it correctly and honestly I can't afford my phone to be dead. I'm also a Uber driver :silly:
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note5] AlvinT:
Here is Alvin T, referenced above.

I do have QF1 (installed by the Sprint store ...here's what I posted in another thread)

Here's a happy ending: I went to the local NYC Sprint store, the tech guy in charge was terrific, no sermonizing, he took the phone in back and after maybe 15 minutes came back with the very recent (QE1) firmware installed.

I have it back, unrooted. But WORKING

Thanks much. And I must say I found the level of service from the Sprint store guy a real relief
​

Since then I had an OTA upgrade to QF1 and after some difficulty (all my fault) I followed tdunham's excellent instructions and now have a ROOTED QF1. My next step, after I work up a bit of courage (and find a little time) will be to install MOAR Nougatized (another tdunham posting :) ). I'll let you all know how that goes. But the QF1 update seems to have caused no special problems.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note5] gpshemi:
PERFECT. All I want is my tethering back. So whatever that's going to take...Root, MOAR, or otherwise.

Then why are you asking for the security patches and not the latest firmware? I know what the files in the OP are. They are firmwares. Not security patches.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note5] ycats:
Both will be in the latest, just want the firmware.

Ok. Just curious. The way you asked it, made it sound like someone was isolating just the patches for flashing. That would be superb if they were, as I'm running MOAR and don't wanna flash back to stock..

According to this article LINK, which was posted one day ago, the Note 5 is getting an Oreo update.

I used the information posted by OP in this thread to root and re-install the factory image on my Note 5 (btw thank you OP for your excellent info).

I'm just curious what to expect when Oreo is released for Note 5. Will we need to wait for an image to be released to update? Do we need to unroot and go back to factory to update?

Thanks for any information.

Hi everybody,

Currently the kernel base from my phone (SM-G903F) is 3.10.61

I'd like to try to update & upgrade kernel base but dunno how to proceed.

So,

- to update from 3.10.61 to 3.10.69 it's easy using incr patch

- to update from 3.10.61 to 3.10.102, what to do ? Same as above from 62 to 102 ? Or a quicker method exists ?

- to update from 3.10.61 to 3.19, is it possible ? How to proceed ? (double reverse ?)

patch -p1 -R < ../patch-3.10.61	# revert the 3.10.61 patch

patch -p1 -R < ../patch-3.10	# revert the 3.10 patch

patch -p1 < ../patch-3.19 # apply the 3.19 patch

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] izephyr:

[Nokia Lumia 920] JoachimP:
First of all, I know that I am the one who is to be blamed, but may be, I can be a help to others or to development. I want to thank the developers for their achievements and do encourage them to continue, even though Microsoft seems to do the same to Windows Phone which IBM did to OS/2.

What did I do?

I have a Lumia 920 with broken digitizer and brownish display, so that was the best device for some testing. With WPInternals I succeeded in routing an unlocked the boot loader.

Switched to MSM, I started to discover the partitions. Unfortunately, I touched the mouse and dragged and dropped "somewhat" in, I think, in the EFIESP partition.

Please don't ask me, why I did not continue with undoing or at least reflash the partitions extracted from an original ffu image.

Well, I rebooted the device and I lost. Damage is about 10 Euro, which I payed for the phone, nothing to be complained about.

With WDRT, I have the well known "device not supported" comments, the same with thor2, WPInternals and Chimera.

If someone has a suggestion, how to force the device to mass storage mode or the cog wheel/flash mode (vol+ and power does not work), you are welcome.

Log files can be provided, if you are interested.

Best regards,

Joachim
