Whoops'd SD card

Edit: OK partly my problem, after bringing back the card to a 27gb partition I never tried installing in a phone and formating again, apparently some systems/phones will only format up to 32gb (which looks like 27.ect) which is something I knew buy forgot, dropping it in my HTC and doing a format brought it back to the 64gb it was supposed to be at. So uh.. Nevermind I guess, thanks for the guide!

Well I followed all the instructions and successfully rooted my phone (thank god) without crippling it. Now somehow I corrupted my 64gb card and at first I couldn't get anything to recognize it. Then somehow after fiddling with a few tools recommended here and there it jumped to a 18mb sized drive. Once that popped up I ran diskpart in cmd and it recognized it as a 27gb drive... So did a clean all and went to partition it but it still only recognizes 27gb, even the SD card formatter from the guys themselves will only see a 27gb card. Also what is really annoying is the usable partition can't be touched by a clean command in disk part but clean all seems to be capable of actually wiping.

Edit: somehow card went RAW after removing it, windows at first would not touch it because of this, my note would immediately shut down if installed and refuse to boot unless it was removed, rooted s4 same ploy, and rooted htc m8 simply did not recognize the card at all, however was aware when removing it as a small onscreen notification popped up to tell me SD card was removed. Yeah..

Either way I can get a 27gb max out of this 64gb card, and it's at a roadblock where I just can't get the remaining 37gb to be seen by anything. Since I've tried everything in the book to find the lost zones and can't make progress is there anything anyone has an idea might work? I think my problem stemmed from me not being patient enough while waiting for a reboot I didn't think was going to happen. Since this has got to be a logical defect then there just has to be a way to force the rest of the drive back out of the woodwork. Any ideas smart folk?

He's not the only one, unusually enough my phone clung onto some old files, I had some of the same exact programs left over after a complete root job.. Hell they even started updating once booted, tb busted them but still unusual, I did notice my computer was not giving a pass on Odin and was one of the points where I thought the phone would not reboot on its own. Actually may have been the step right before pulling bat and SD card, could not power down phone and just gave up checking wait and yanked the battery.

Root checkers definitely confirm root, su grants permissions to needed apps as well. If you happen to know if that non-textbook procedure could have thrown half a brick at my card let me know, maybe include a small footnote if you know that sometimes a step will take forever so certain people won't be foolish enough to yank a battery before proper..
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] zoline411:
Yea my phone did the same, it didn't delay while typing however. The SD card issue might be exactly what happened to me. If it went RAW format then you won be able to use it in windows with an SD card adapter, but you'll be able to format it in command prompt with diskpart, run as an administrator and find the chip after you plug it in (to the pc, can't see it in a phone via USB) with list disk command. Then select disk # (the number of your chip but not the # symbol) command. It will probably look like 27gb if it's larger than 32gb, use clean all command (be patient here as this can easily take upwards of an hour to complete) and then create partition and finally format quick.

After that put in phone and format within storage settings if it's larger than what it appears.

Hi alls

I bought a Verizon M910V on the ebay, firmware N910VVRU2CQF2 android 6.0.1. I downgraded to N910VVRU2BPA1 in order to unlock bootloader. As I read all the problems and trouble shootings on the 1 page, most people having problem with wifi after the unlocked bootloader, but my phone have no wifi right at the setting up screen at the first boot after I flashed android 5.1.1 .

I tried to follows steps on the first page to unlock bootloader but I can not connect to the internet for rooting with KingRoot!!! I tried KingRoot pc version, but after succeed rooting, the phone reboot by itself, and I lost the connection with the Fastboot. Does anyone having this problem?

I reflashed it back to N910VVRU2CQF2 (android 6.0.1), the wifi has no problem!!!

2nd adb run not required for me

been trying for days to root 910v, kept failing on 2nd kingoroot run.

decided to omit the 2nd and now I'm fully rooted with no sign of trouble.

thought I should mention it for anyone stuck in the same place
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] Foots:
I can't for the life of me get Kingroot to work. It says its rooted, but root checker says its not. I'm really not sure where I'm going wrong. The Kingo download won't even install on my computer, so I couldn't try that.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] kevintm78:
Right after KingRoot says you are rooted, skip the root checker part, and using adb type

adb shell

and then

su

After you type su you should get a prompt from KingRoot to allow su access. As long as you can get su access for adb it doesn't much matter whether or not the root checker says you are rooted. Even though I think it should, but I never did check it to know for sure. Did the root checker app get a prompt to grant su access? If so you'll need to grant it permission.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] Foots:
I finally got it. I had to find a Kingoroot apk and use that. After that, it was pretty simple. Thank you sir.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] jdoggrr:
Welp, I gave this method a try, got as far as downgrading to 15.1.1, went into an infinite boot loop, and now my phone's wifi is completely dead. The toggle switch is grayed-out-green, and the slider in the wifi options won't move to 'on'. Any ideas? It's kind of a moot point anyway, since I have already purchased a new phone, but I want to see whether I can salvage this one as a spare.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] -WhiteHawk-:
It worked up until I had to flash the system only bit. It says I don't have a PIT partition, but adding a pit file fails. What do I do?

I was able to use this method to get root on my Note 4. Thanks for the post... I assume any OTA update will unroot the phone. Has anyone come up with a solution to for the later systems?

systemonlyn910v-5.1.1.tar

So I've reached up to the step where you install systemonlyn910v-5.1.1.tar. My problem is that once the download is finished... nothing happens. It remains on the "downloading..." page. What am I doing wrong or what can I do to fix this?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] assassin10000:
Is reboot 'unchecked' in Odin? If so just pull the battery and restart the phone.

I never bothered with the oscar kernel when I did this version of rooting. Just SU.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] Trinity2986:
Yes, reboot was unchecked. But I've actually received a replacement from Verizon and tried again. Now both KingoRoot AND Kingroot won't root my phone (5.1.1.) I read about not letting the screen timeout, so I'll try again.

new languages?

Hi, My note 4 verizon only had a few languages and the language I need is not available. I've trying unlocking the languages through some play market tools, and "adb change language"was the one that did work partially like the date and google apps, but settings and everything else is still English. If I were to get a root, would this allow me to add languages and how exactly do I do it? Thanks
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] jonathanjr321:
i know this is a bit old but

i just replaced my note 4 (my screen was broken) so i had to repeat the whole process, if someone has bootloop problems after finishing the whole process, ***do not do anything BEFORE CHECK YOUR SDCARD !!

I was in bootloop for like 20 minutes so i took my sdcard off and boom!! everything works fine. (twrp never format it well, i think)

turn your cell off put your sdcard in other phone (format it) then put it on your phone and turn it on (you pc will be open like 69 pages so I do not recommend it lol)

or just do not use your sdcard, THANKS for this thread.

[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] Muskym:
I know this thread is a mite dated, but I can;t find a better place to post my super noob question. I'll appreciate any input.

I have two Verizon Note 4s, Both SM-N910v. with MM 6.0.1. One is rooted (not by me) with a custom ROM and various mods installed and one is stock with N910VVRU2CQL1 firmware.

Can I go through the steps to downgrade to 511, unlock the bootloader and install TWRP and then just restore a full backup from my rooted phone? I've done a complete backup and restore on the rooted Note 4 after I wiped it and it seems to restore everything (apps, settings, OS etc) Is there some things that don't get backed up and restored?

Like I said, I'm very new to all of this and I'm sure I'm missing something. Thanks in advance for any help!
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] Tripper511:
[MENTION=2968532]Muskym[/MENTION]

By downgrading the device following this guide you are replacing the OS with the vanilla stock unlocked Note 4 OS. It doesn't come bundled with any extra software. If anything is getting restored then it must be saved on your SD card or you are not doing a full wipe and reinstallation.

You might not be able to fully restore everything from from your original phone if it was saved with a custom firmware and/or using a different OS kernel. However all your apps and contacts should reinstall as they are linked to your google play account.

Settings most likely will have to be reconfigured but apps and contacts will re-download once you re-link your phone with your google account.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] Muskym:
[MENTION=5868523]Tripper511[/MENTION]

Thank you for the reply!

I am using parts of a few guides for unlocking the MM 6.0.1 firmware and then rooting without having to unlock the 511 firmware first. So it does get confusing. I like the way you simplified the ADB commands for the unlocking process and will be using them.

My rooted phone is N910VVRU2CQI2 6.0.1 with a custom ROM. Hopefully when I'm finished unlocking and rooting my second Note 4 will be at stock N910VVRU2CQI2 if I do everything correctly.

I hoped to restore the complete nandroid backup that I made from my phone with the custom ROM to my stock but rooted phone. That's providing everything is included in the nandroid backup (modem, bootloader, kernel, firmware, etc.)

I hope I've explained it correctly, if not and I've confused you, think how I feel this is still new to me! :)
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] smutrux:
KingoROOT doesn't work, the app and the windows program.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] Tripper511:
Care to elaborate on your statement? Otherwise it's going to confuse people.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] Tripper511:
I think it would be easiest to follow my guide up to the point of installing the vanilla UNrooted firmware. After that point your phone is now unrooted and you can then install any type of ROM and firmware you want. The bulk of the guide (and the hard part) is just getting past the 511 firmware.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] smutrux:
I tried the app on my phone but it failed every time. As a result of that I attempted the windows application and I got the same results. In short: I could not temporarily root my phone with a one click root service. Is there any alternative? Maybe with ADB?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] Tripper511:
Did you follow these steps first?

7) Make sure "Developer Options" is open and USB debugging is enabled. You can turn it on by going to: Settings > About Phone > then tap on "Build Number" ten (10) times to unlock the option.

8) Also make sure "Reactivation Lock" in UNCHECKED. Go to Settings > (under "Personal") Security > (and under "Find My Mobile") uncheck "Reactivation Lock"

9) Additionally in: Settings > (under "Personal") Security, make sure "unknown sources" is checked.

10) Finally open and run Keis and SAMSUNG_USB_Driver_for_Mobile_Phones to ensure the PC can communicate with the phone (this should also be done BEFORE running Odin3 if you need to change your firmware to 5.1.1).

Cant transfer zips through USB

I am almost done, at the last few steps to transfer the zip files to the phone. Windows no longer sees my phone as usb storage to transfer the files. Anyone have any ideas? I have already tried reinstalling the drivers and hardware a few times.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] Tripper511:
Check your developer settings on the phone. There should be an option to allow the phone to be debugged via USB or something like that. That should allow your PC to view the phone. Also double check the problem isn't that you need to use a different USB cable and/or USB port on your PC. When it works the phone should pop up on your PC like any USB storage device would. Also (if I recall correctly) when you connect to the PC a message on the phone should appear verifying that you want to connect to the PC. I might be wrong about that last part, it's been a few years now since I used my Note 4.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] terky69:
I should have said I can only access the twrp screen. It wont boot. I'm assuming the next file I'm to load (the kernel) is the os.

I am gonna buy a USB otg wire after work and try transferring the files that way. If that fails I will try putting the files on the sd card and then transfer them to internal storage.

Thanks for the help.

You can install a rom if you have twrp from the sc card. Congratulations.

[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] Tripper511:
Double check you did step 38 correctly. You are suppose to connect your PC to to you phone and use ODIN to transfer "oscar_kernel_v0.2.zip" and "UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.76-20160630161323.zip" to the PHONE not the SD CARD, and only ONE FILE at a time..

Maybe you messed up on that step? That is the step where you install the OS/kernal.

Also make sure in step 37 you didn't install the super SU.

Is this thread still alive?

Hello,

I'm getting ready to try this. I've read the thread and even with your amazing directions, I'm scared. But confident.

I did the check for the eMMC and it's good to go. I got all the files.

Is there still people on this thread I can ask help if I get stuck?

I was having trouble already with getting my phone go connect to my pc and after MUCH searching, I think I may have found the answer. But this particular step in your directions at beginning was barely even mentioned. As if it should be a breeze but it's been anything but lol.

I'm not dumb, I understand how to read and as long as the answers are there, I get them. But a step as simple as hooking up via USB to pc and in directions a dialog box should pop open to select MTP....but it doesn't.

I've enabled dev options on phone, checked usb debug, checked stay awake when charging.... was about to pull out hair when I think I found the answer but I won't know until I test it out at a later time, I'm wore down for now lol.

Btw....I've used Odin before too. I'm not a complete noob. But Verizon blocks ussd dialer codes too. So some of those methods others say to use, don't work for everyone. But I think I FINALLY figured out how to enable MTP on usb. I'll report back but would LOVE LOVE if someone were here to help as well. I'm so sick of VZW telling me the device is not carrier locked when it clearly is.

I REALLY hope once I can gain root access I can unlock the carrier and use my sim. I'm pretty sure this will work but with even the noob guide steps not working for me....lol. ... but I'm VERY determined and I know it can be done (read the success stories here) and I'm willing to go slowly so I don't muck it up. Assuming I can get my phone and pc talking to each other I'll continue on the steps in the guide.

Please help me if you can though this. I'm also polite and can communicate well.

I can not insert my sim into my phone without the "Not a Verizon SIM" message.

I don't care about custom roms or anything. I just want to be able to use mobile data on my phone and I can't because the sim is locked. Despite every VZW rep saying it's unlocked. I know better because I've done much research. And that research has led me to believe that I need to get root to fix my woes.

My current build is 6.0.1

Baseband ver N910VVRU2CQL1

eMMC check is good
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] ReldvS:
First bump in road cleared....moving forward

OK I'm back after my test. IT WORKED.

So if you can't get the phone to connect to pc, here's what I had to do.

After enabling dev option in setting menu, check USB debug, stay awake when connected, AND then scroll down to USB where it says charging. Click on it and it opens a menu where you can select MTP for USB.

Since VZW likes to block ussd dialer codes, and there was not a dialog box like the guide here said there would be.

I had to do some major searching but FINALLY found the answer and wanted to share. Maybe want to amend the guide as well. Something so simple was snagging me up at the VERY start of attempting this lol.

But now I can connect my phone to my pc and transfer files, I'm doing the back up of phone and sd card next and then plowing cautiously forward lol. I'll report back when I hit another wall :)

Questions post root

Hi,

First of all thanks Tripper551 for the guide:good:, I followed it and could get permanent root on my device. The most difficult part was getting temporary root, I tried several times with KingRoot app on the device but it hanged so badly, I tried re installing the firmware by Odin but anyway the result was the same. I re install the firm again to have a clean install and try with KingoRoot on the pc and that´s where I could continue with the guide.

Now that I have root, my question is... I have SuperSu app from the latest steps and also "SuperUser", "KingLink" and "SuperBattery" from temp root with KingoRoot:eek:. Can I uninstall these 3 apps or I have to keep them to avoid losing root? Also having SuperSu and SuperUser makes me think that it can cause conflict.

Would be great if you could tell me what to do now

ps: After all of this I want to make a full rom bkp, I will look for a guide but do you recommed one ?

Thanks,

Regards :)
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] Tripper511:
All you need is SuperSu, you can uninstall the rest. Once you have the phone setup the way you want bot into TWRP recovery mode (Home button + Vol Up) and then select back up to make a backup file of all your setting on your SD card. I suggest you then copy that file to your PC.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] swolfe2:
So, I've been trying this for a couple of hours, and I keep getting stuck at the same point.

Here's what my cmd prompt looks like.

[IMG="cmd prompt"]https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B_8RP-lB_-hacElpbmVzMkNQTUU[/IMG]

I have been able to verify root multiple times through root checker. When I get to the point that I type "su" after going into the shell, it basically just returns the line. After pasting the next bit of code, nothing happens.

Any idea what's going on? I've factory reset, and am on 5.1.1.
